"Marinette, are you sure you're okay?" Rose asked as she leaned closer to the other. For what felt like the hundredth time Marinette nodded her head, giving the other a small yes in response. She had been at this all day long. Rather it was one of her classmates or one of her teachers, every single one of them asked if she was well enough to be there. She had said the word yes so many times she had lost count.

"Mari, you have a heart of gold." Alya smirked as she put an arm around her best friends shoulders. "You're so sweet no matter how many times you have to say yes. I would be thankful to have your type of patience." she stated. Marinette turned to look at her. Leaving out a soft sigh she sunk down in her chair, regretting ever coming to school.

"Yeah, I guess." Marinette muttered as she closed her eyes. Her head had started to act up, pounding just behind her eyes. The pain was starting to become to much and she was contemplating if she wanted to go to the nurse or not. She knew if she did the class would over worry about her and keep asking her if she was alright. Truthfully, she couldn't stand to hear the question "Are you alright." again. If she ever heard it again in her lifetime, it would be far to soon.

"Headache?" Adrien asked from in front of her. Marinette could only nod before forcing her eyes open. To her relief Adrien was holding out two small pills to her. She had never been so thankful in her life. He was a blessing sent from god himself. Taking them from him an image flashed in her mind. Sitting there with her hand still in his, it was as if everything had stopped. All she could see was Adrien, holding out an umbrella to her. It was like a picture you would see in a drama movie or a show. It was something that just flooded her mind, like something had just burst and every emotion hooked to that moment came back.

"Mari? Mari?" Alya asked as she shook Marinette's shoulder. Marinette turned to her, nodding her head slightly as she took her hand from Adrien's. She turned to her friend, cheeks burning a dark shade of red. "Mari?" Alya asked again, worry lacing her voice. It took a moment for Marinette to finally come back to the world.

"I just, I remember..." She whispered. Alya seemed to be shocked at her words, her mouth hanging open. It didn't take long before both Nino and Adrien were on their feet, both fully turned to Marinette with shocked expressions.

"What do you remember?" Alya asked standing up as well, her hand slamming down on the desk beside her. "Tell us! Please!" She called out in joy.

"I..." Marinette's voice trilled off as she remembered the first few days of her school year. Tikki, Alya, Nino, Chat, Her Class, Ladybug, Adrien. It all flashed before her eyes, it wasn't even moving images. It was just the feeling of being able to put names to faces. "You, Everyone." Marinette muttered as she brought a hand to her head. It was starting to pound again. For a moment it felt as if it was fuzzy but now the pain was back. A stinging pain shooting just behind her eyes. "I just.." She muttered. Remembering how flirty chat got, how she screamed at Tikki when they had first met. It all came back to her and as soon as it started, it all just stopped. Like a cage door closed keeping anymore form getting to her. Yet, the picture of Adrien holding out his umbrella to her was still fresh on her mind. "I'm sorry, I just need too.." Marinette said as she took the pills that were still in her hand, swallowing them like a champ.

"Do you need to go to the nurse?" Adrien asked softly. It was as if he knew she was in pain. Opening her eyes she could see the worry in his eyes. Was he really that worried about her? How close were they really? He seemed to know her well, but at the same time he didn't really show it. He mostly kept to himself, they didn't talk after meeting in the morning. Why was he so into her memories? Why was he so worried about her? Was it a secret only they knew? Why did she feel like she's keeping secrets from everyone? "I can walk you down." he said in a worried tone. The rest of the class seemed to notice what was going on. All them seeming to be on edge and silently waiting for her answer.

"Oh please! She's obviously faking. Isn't it obvious? She's just enjoying all the attention you're all giving her." Chloe hissed as she stood up from her seat. Nino and Alya turned giving her the same dirty glare.

"Can you please, just shut up?" Marinette muttered as she closed her eyes again, holding her forehead. It felt as if it was splitting open and now Chloe of all people had to open her big mouth.

"Oh please." Chloe hissed as she walked over, slamming her hands down on Marinette's desk. "You're only doing it because Adrien is treating you like you're some fragile piece of glass. If you were really that hurt you wouldn't be here right now! You would be at home, resting because that's the smart thing to do." Chole laughed. "You only came because you think everyone is worried about you. News flash, not everyone here is. They are far to busy basking in my looks, to worry about your dumb little head." Chloe snickered. Standing back she put a hand next to her mouth, laughing like an old school anime villain.

Something in Marinette just snapped. Her head was pounding and her body just reacted without processing anything. Standing up from her seat she turned to Chole her chair smacking off the desk behind her as she did so. She just wanted her to shut up. Was she so dense that she couldn't understand the simple fact Marinette was in pain. Deep, deep, head splitting, pain. Before Chole even noticed she had gotten up, Marinette's hand was in the air. With her mind shutting down her body took over, and it's first reaction was to slap the smirk off of Chole's face. That was till her hand was stopped in mid air.

"Quite Chloe." Adrien hissed as he pulled Marinette's hand down, making sure it was out of sight. Thankfully Chole was oblivious to the whole thing and just crossed her arms over her chest, giving Adrien a pout.

"But Adrien-"

"No but's. It's not polite to be so rude when someone isn't feeling well." Adrien scolded. He slowly pulled his hand away from Marinette's, bringing it to his forehead as he shook his head. "If you keep being so loud I'll get a headache." he lied. Chole seemed to calm down, smiling as she nodded her head. "Thank you." Adrien smiled to her. Chole seemed to be excited form this simple action. Giving Marinette a smirk before turning, flipping her hair as she did so and returning to her seat.

"I'm going to the nurse." Marinette growled as she bent down, pulling her bag to her chest. With that she walked out of the classroom, not even giving everyone a goodbye like she normally would. Adrien had to take a moment to process all that happened before he felt a tapping on his shoulder. Looking back he seen Alya ushering him, pointing to the door as she did so. Nodding his head he moved around his desk, running for the door and softly closing it behind him.

"Mari-"

"What?" Marinette snapped turning back to him. Adrien could only stop in in his tracks as she turned to him. Tears were rolling down her cheeks, as she tried to send him a glare. Yet, somehow it wasn't as powerful as the one he had earned this morning. There was some kind of hurt emotion, like she had just snapped at someone who she... Who she liked... How stupid was he? He knew Marinette liked him, with her remembering some things. Who knows what she remembered, she never got to tell him anything. Did she remember her feelings for him? Where does that put Chat then?

Marinette could only turn away, a look of shame coming to her face. Taking a step forward she bowed her head, fresh tears mixing with the old ones on her cheeks. She had been so angry that she had taken it out on Adrien of all people. Her whole body started to shake as she tried to hold back tears. She knew she liked him, those feelings were back. It had been that one moment, that one stupid moment when he handed her his umbrella. If that wouldn't have happened she wouldn't be feeling these things. She liked Chat, he was there. He was the only guy who stuck around, he was the only one who came over to help. She loved him for that, but still. Those feelings she felt back there. She can't stop them, no matter how hard she tried.

A thump echoed around the halls, causing Marinette to turn around. As she did she seen only a flash of blond before a hand was placed softly on the back of her head. Stumbling back she bumped into the wall, a pair of warm lips on her own. Her eyes widened in shock, her mind slowing down. The world had paused, her vision blurring with tears. Blinking she put her hands against his chest, pushing him away softly. Yet, she couldn't stop her fingers from curling around his shirt collar. She pushed her lips back against his, her eyes closing as she left his warmth flood over her. His lips were soft, so perfect, just like Chat's.

That word smacked Marinette, dragging her out of her thoughts. She pushed Adrien backwards, both their cheeks burning a dark red. He seemed shocked at her actions, his expression silently killed her. Her head was fuzzy again, she couldn't focus on anything. She felt like she did something wrong, but a part of her felt it was alright. She wanted to just forget this, she knew Chat would be upset if he found out about this. Chat was the one she was worried about, not herself, not who saw, not Adrien, It was always Chat.

"I can't." she cried. Sliding down the wall she rested her head on her knees. "I can't. I'm so sorry Adrien." She chocked out. Adrien bent down, sitting on the floor as he took her hand, rubbing the back of it softly. "I can't. I want too. It's just." She sniffled. Looking up with puffy eyes she watched as he gave her a warm smile. That same damned smile he wore the day he gave her his umbrella. Those feelings were real, those feelings were true, she loved him. "Chat." she hiccuped as she bowed her head, unable to look at him.

"It's alright, Marinette." Adrien smiled. He knew he had pushed her, he had pushed her far to much, both as Chat and Adrien. He was so into his own feelings, he was only thinking about himself. He hadn't thought how much this hurt her. She loved both Chat and Adrien. Now he knew she would have to pick between them, even if they were the same person. However, she didn't know that. Marinette sniffled as she rubbed her eyes. She knew she was a mess, yet he was still sitting there. She didn't understand why he was. He could have left her by now, just laugh everything off and tell her to forget it. Yet, just like Chat he stuck by her side. Like a little kitten who didn't want to leave his broken owner.

"I'm sorry Adrien." She cried. Adrien still wore that same warm smile on his face. Helping her to her feet he picked up her bag, turning only for a moment to get his own. Getting angry comments from Plagg in the process. He had forgotten he was in his bag and must have been a little dazed from being dropped. "I just... Need time." Marinette muttered. Adrien turned, nodding his head as he put his arm around her. Helping her walk down the steps.

"Don't push yourself Mari. I'm sorry for that. I shouldn't have. I know that you like Chat and I just..." Adrien turned away, blushing as he thought about the difference between Chat and him. Sure Marinette kissed him back, but it wasn't as great as when Chat had done it. Was he really making this a bad habit to kiss Marinette when he panics? "I just, panicked." he said, clearing his throat.

"You panicked, so you kissed me?" Marinette asked with a soft giggle. Adrien took a moment to think it over, he hadn't realized how bad that sounded. "Do you do this with all the girls?" she asked, forcing a smile onto her lips. Adrien felt his heart flutter in his chest. Walking to the door of the nurses office he just gave a slight shrug.

"No, only you." he smiled. Marinette smiled truly at his words as they walked into the office. The nurse turned to them with a raised eyebrow but once she seen Marinette's sorry state it was replaced with worry. "I think Marinette needs to go home for the day." Adrien smiled, moving to the nearest bed and letting her sit down. Turning he took a box of tissues from the side table, handing them out to Marinette as the nurse called her parents.

It was hours before Marinette's parents left her leave their sides. She was locked in a never ending loop of questions, them asking almost every ten minutes if she was okay. On the upside she was able to get a lot of cookies. Most them them going into her bag so Tikki had something to eat. Sure enough she was more then excited to have such a large meal. After getting some medicine in her, she was able to play some video games with her dad. Once dinner was done they sat down to eat. Finally when the moon was already high in the sky Marinette was free to go to her room to rest.

"Thank goodness." Marinette said as she closed the door to her room, taking a moment to breath.

"At least you got a hot meal, Cookies, A warm shower, Video games, and all the love and affection you could ever ask for!" Tikki cheered as she flew out of Marinette's bag. Marinette nodded her head, giving her friend a warm smile. Turning she stopped when she seem Chat just chilling on her couch. His hand resting on his cheeks and a smirk on his face.

"Paint me like one of your French girls." he whispered lowly. Marinette couldn't stop herself before she cracked up. It was the way Chat had said it. It was as if he was trying to be seductive but failing. As far as Marinette remembered he was a huge flirt, yet he didn't sound to convincing. "I thought it was a good one." he sighed. Rolling onto his back and stretched out. His arms and legs falling over the sides of the couch as he did so.

"You're such a tom cat." Marinette smiled turning to walk across the room. Chat left out a hum as he rolled onto his side, giving her a happy smirk.

"Only for you, Princess." he winked. Marinette rolled her eyes at his comment. Now this, this was the Marinette he knew. "How are you feeling? A little birdie told me you almost snapped on Chole at school. I would have loved to see that~ Something about my lady being furious is rather pleasing in a way." Chat smirked. Marinette left out a sigh as she turned away from him.

"Please, let's not talk about today. I would rather talk about your day." Marinette said. Crossing her arms over her chest she seemed to slump down. Chat could tell she was rather upset and sat up patting the spot next to him. Marinette glanced at him for a moment before walking over. Tikki just giving her a small wave before floating up to Marinette's bed.

"I'll leave you two, too it then." she giggled. Marinette stuck her tongue out at her before sitting down.

"So, tell me what happened Bug-A-Boo." Chat said turning to look at her. Marinette left out a sigh as she bowed her head in defeat.

"Well, all day people kept asking me if I was well enough to be there. Don't you think I would know if I was or not? I understand they are worried about me... But still, have a little faith in me. I mean, I only protect your city at night but don't listen to little cinnamon bun Marinette." She huffed. Chat couldn't help but crack a small smile at her words. "Then Chloe had to butt in. She kept talking so loudly and my head hurt. She just wouldn't stop talking. I got mad and I... I almost hit her... I know she would have called her father. I know things would have gone bad, real fast. Yet, my body just reacted. Thankfully Adrien stopped me. He played it off pretty well. I'm thankful for that." she smiled. Chat nodded his head, feeling a proud feeling wash over him.

"Sounds like an eventful day." Chat commented.

"Yeah but..." Marinette's voice trilled off as she turned away. She seemed to become uncomfortable again. Had this been the reason she didn't want to tell him before? Was the thing he had done earlier really that bad? If it was he would have done anything to fix it. "I was upset, I was crying. I was a mess and then... Adrien kissed me." she muttered. Chat felt his ears twitch at the words.

"He kissed you?" he asked forcing an awkward smile to his face. One that made him look like he wasn't taking her seriously.

"I don't know. I mean, I do know!" she called out a blush coming to her face. "I know he kissed me." Marinette said bringing a hand to her forehead. "I'm so stupid. I'll just stop talking." she grumbled.

"It's alright, Princess. Not your fault he kissed you." Chat shrugged. Marinette looked at him with shock. "It's not your fault. You couldn't have stopped it. It happens." he smiled. Marinette really was at a loss for words. "So the question here is, was he a better kisser then me?" Chat asked, a playful smirk on his face. Marinette's face burst into many shades of red as she stood up, a squeak coming from her pink lips.

"No! I mean, Yes. No! I mean no!" she screeched covering her burning face. "Don't ask me that!" she melted to the floor as Chat laughed. "This is so confusing. I hate this." she muttered. "It was easier when I didn't remember anything." Chat seemed to perk up at the words.

"What was that my lady?" Chat asked. Marinette calmed her burning face before looking up. Chat's face wearing a serious mask now.

"I had a few memories come back to me. I remember Tikki for the most part. Or how I met her that is. I remember the first day or two of school. I remember Alya and fighting with you." Marinette smiled. "I remember you're a flirt and it was rather fun to talk to you." Marinette giggled. "Then, I remembered something more. I was standing outside of the school. Adrien was there and he handed me his umbrella. So many feelings came flooding back that I don't understand my feelings for him anymore. I know I like him. I remember that now. Then he kissed me and I just... A part of me. The part that remembers was so happy. Then this part of me. This part you're talking too. I was mad. I was so upset because I like you Chat." Marinette sighed, bowing her head. "Feelings are complected." she muttered.

"I see." Chat said as he rolled onto the floor. Laying on his back so he was looking up to Marinette. "Well that's alright. I don't think it will get to complected once you remember the rest." he smiled. Marinette could only look down to him, eyes shining.

"Why are you so understanding?" she asked, slowly lowering her legs down.

"Because, I love you." Chat had such a warm smile on his face when he said it, it broke Marinette's heart. She had felt so stupid for liking Adrien. Chat was here, Chat loved her, Chat wasn't judging her. Was she so starstruck by Adrien before hand that she had just blocked Chat out all together? She knew a little bit on both them, and yet. She loved Chat more. Smiling back to him she bent down, placing her hands on both sides of his head as she kissed his nose.

"You're a charmer." Marinette smiled.

"I like to think of myself as the purr-fect man." Chat smirked.

"Come on Chat~ We all have our claws~" Marinette chimed.

"Yeah~ But I like to think I'm a di-fur-ent type of man." Chat said.

"I guess only time will tail~" Marinette giggled. Chat couldn't help but leave you a soft chuckle at that one.

"So you're saying I have a chance at winning your heart?" Chat asked moving his arms up to stroke the side of Marinette's head. Marinette smiled giving a small nod as she kept her eyes on his own.

"Paws-itively." Marinette giggled kissing Chat's lips softly. Pulling away she smiled down to him, running her hands through his blond locks. "Chat?" she quietly asked.

"Yes, My lady?" he asked back, giving her a light smile.

"Did I know who you really were? You know before I forgot." Marinette asked.

"You did." Chat answered.

"Did I like it?" she asked, her voice just above a whisper.

"I'm not sure. It was a very... Complicated situation." Chat said crossing his arms over his chest.

"So then I found out the day I forgot?" Marinette asked. Chat nodded his head in response.

"Yeah. It all happened so fast. One moment we're both fighting and then next I was thrown right into you. I tried to protect you, as much as I could. I took the first blow against the floor but you took the last one. I was scared you had gotten hurt and when I noticed you were bleeding... I felt as if the world was crashing before my eyes. Your eyes closed and I couldn't help you." Chat's voice cracked. Blinking he noticed tears were now burning at his eyes. Turning away form Marinette he tried to get them to stop.

"But you tried your best to protect me Chat. Isn't that worth something?" Marinette asked. Chat turned, looking up to her with tear filled eyes. He seemed so shocked by her words. "You tried and that's all that matters to me." she chimed, giving him a bright smile.

"Thank you, Princess." Chat said. Closing his eyes he gave her one of his large toothy grins.
