Marinette woke up after the third alarm, not quite oversleeping since it was the third out of six she made.

"Good night's sleep?" Tiki asked with a smile.

"Yeah, actually I feel well rested! Well, well-rested enough that I won't be zoned out all of physics." As she got ready she noticed the bags under her eyes were less intense but still put a bit of coverup on them anyways. She went downstairs and had breakfast with her mother again then headed to school.

When she walked in Adrien was sitting there on his phone but once she walked by he looked up with a smile.

"Hey, Marinette! You look like you're feeling better!" Marinette could feel her heart pounding, he actually remembered she was tired yesterday and specifically told her to feel better!

"T-Thanks, I did actually sleep really well." She smiled remembering her conversation with Chat and knowing someone could be there and understand. An odd feeling struck her at that thought, she didn't really know what or why but it made her confused because it was something she normally felt for Adrien but it was different.

"That's good to hear" Her heart was fluttering, she wanted to keep talking, she could face akumas and these dreams but not the boy she liked?

"H-how was your night?" She managed to say. Adrien's face lit up but suddenly his eyes darkened and moved to the floor, he kept his model face on but she immediately noticed the change.

"It was good! I got to catch up with a friend." Marinette was worried what could cause that look in his eyes.

"Yeah? Is everything o-okay?" Adrien's head snapped up looking confused.

"Yeah, why wouldn't it be?" Oh no maybe she didn't see something maybe he just zoned out or-or maybe he didn't realize how much he gave away?

"I-I don't know you looked happy at first but then it looked like y-you were thinking of something?" She stuttered regretting starting this conversation, feeling her chest tightening worried about everything. To her surprise, Adrien's face relaxed and he had a sympathetic smile.

"It's ok, I'm just a bit worried about my friend, they are working through some things and I'm just a bit worried, but thank you," he said genuinely. Her heart swelled at this boy with such a big heart who was so worried about his friend.

"N-no problem" she blushed, she hoped his friend was ok, she understood working through things. At that point, Alya and Nino walked in talking not even noticing their two other friends until they sat down.

"Hey Alya" Marinette said to her best friend with a sly smile, Alya shut her mouth with a slight blush and shove to Marinette.

"Hey, anyways what were you two talking about," Alya said trying to get Marinette to talk more with Adrien. Marinette, however, didn't want to put a spotlight on Adrien's problems and spoke up first.

"Just small talk you know how our day was yesterday, and stuff." Adrien's face softened and he gave her a small smile as a thank you for not having to go into his problems again.

When Thursday night approached Marinette had figured out an app for Chat Noir and a username for him to contact her by.

"Good evening My Lady." Chat said with his usual swaggering walk but she could see when he was closer the swagger didn't reach his eyes.

"I'm doing pretty good thank you." She said with a genuine smile which got her a big Chat grin.

"Good, I was worried about you the past two days…" He said sheepishly, something she was not used to seeing. Her heart thumped in a way she wasn't used to with him. Since it was dark out neither could see the others faint blush.

"Thank you, you don't have to worry too much I had an idea..." She smiled, they did have serious moments before but this seemed like something different than before. It was their personal lives and how their masks were beginning to affect them. Chat's ears perked up.

"Yeah?"

"I was thinking that if either of us has a bad dream we could contact each other and… maybe talk about it? Or just be there? Because I've actually slept really well since we talked and I want to be there for you like you are for me." She didn't get why her face was warm, this was Chat and this was serious. Chat's eyes were wide and his ears were sticking up straight.

"You-you mean we can have each other's cell numbers?" He said calmly but she could sense his excitement. She smirked at him crossing her arms.

"No, I'm not giving you my cell phone number, but I found an app we can use that's like texting and we will have usernames and you can make phone calls too. I can send it to you from my yo-yo and when you get home you can put it into your phone and send me a message so we know it works." Chat looked shocked that she was really going to give him a way to contact her outside the suit.

"But!" She said interrupting his racing thoughts.

"This is not something we should do during the day so no cat memes, we don't want people close to us asking who we're texting. You know how I feel about our identities, this is a way for us to be there for each other…." She trailed off feeling a bit embarrassed.

"I promise I will be completely respectful of this My lady," He took her hand to her surprise and kissed it.

"Only cat memes at night I got it!" he said with his signature smile then ran off as she called.

"CHAT!" To which he responded by turning around and waving and running off onto their patrol route. Marinette rolled her eyes and sent him the information then threw her yo-yo to follow.

After an otherwise uneventful patrol, she parted ways with the silly cat and went home.

When she untransformed she checked her phone which had one message messages.

CN (=^ ◡ ^=): Hi! Will you please add me?

You have now added CN (=^ ◡ ^=)!

LB2015: CN (=^ ◡ ^=)? How do you even type the smile part?

CN (=^ ◡ ^=): Impawssible to reveal my lady (=? ༝ ?=)

Marinette rolled her eyes and got ready for bed. Once she was in bed she saw she had another message from Chat.

CN (=^ ◡ ^=): Hey LB?

LB2015: yeah?

CN (=^ ◡ ^=): I'm glad you thought of this

LB2015: Me too

CN (=^ ◡ ^=): Sleep well, have happy dreams 3

LB2015: Thanks, Chat, I hope you have happy dreams too

Marinette could feel her face warm up a bit. Happy dreams… That sounded nice.
