On monday it started off as a migraine. Nothing less nothing more. Marinette had thought it was from hearing Chloe's 'nails on a chalkboard' voice as she described it. That night the migraine progressively got worse. The throbbing pain in her head now felt like a drum was being played in her brain. So she took aspirin and off to bed she went. Marinette woke up Tuesday morning with a string of drool out her mouth and more than half of her body hanging off of the bed. Everything was fine until she decided to take a sharp intake of air, triggering a coughing fit. It wasn't minutes later till she could breath properly again, and even if she could her nose now felt like it was closing in cutting air off from entering. Marinette signed and brushed her hands through her knotted navy hair.

Marinette brushed her slim hands through her hair a second time, but this time she was in class sitting next to Ayla copying the math equations from the board. Starting off this week on good terms was like fighting a war, and currently she was loosing. Her breaths her shallow and her voice was as cracky as could be. It was like a second puberty for her.

"...Marinette!" An older woman's voice yelled in her direction.

Marinette's head shot up and she looked at the teacher. Her face burned red as Alya giggled next to her. Marinette shifted in her seat focusing on her paper. She was in a stare down with her algebra equations. Shortly after the bell rang, Marinette let her forehead hit the desk in front of her letting out a deflating sigh.

"Girl you need to go and take a nap" Her best friend said picking both of their bags up. Marinette rested her chin on the paper looking over to Alya.

"I can't gotta finish this dress I'm working on" She mumbled as she got up.

Slumping her shoulders she took her bag from her friend and slung it over it shoulder. Marinette flashed Alya a weak smile before heading out the door shuffling her feet against the floor. Nino had left Adrien and walked up next to Alya. They started talking about a possible date later in the day. Adrien was too busy watching the exhausted girl struggle to focus on where he was walking.

Adrien grabbed his bag and started to walk out of the room, 'guess Chatnoir will be making a visit tonight' He thought to himself.

Back at home Marinette was drinking cold syrup like it was water. She took a scalding hot shower, and as soon she finished putting on her shorts she found herself back in the bathroom dry heaving. After 10 minutes of her head resting on the toilet and the contents of her breakfast and lunch now gone. She got up and brushed her teeth for the second time. She shuffled as if a zombie back into her room. Marinette plopped herself down and her desk and started cutting out fabric once again. She sat in concentrated silence steadily working on pinning and cutting the fabrics. Within the deafening silence she faintly heard two soft knocks from her window. Before Marinette could turn around the door opened. She jumped up and grabbed the pair of fabric scissors laying next to her; consequently, standing in front of her was none other than Paris's own superhero.

He held up his hands above his head letting the balcony door open fully, "Whoa there princess, I come in good spirits."

Marinette signed wiping her now sweating forehead, "Hello Chatnoir what brings you to my bedroom at 11:30 at night?" She question her voice cracking between words.

"Just wanted to check up on my lady" He glanced at her room, clothes,medicine bottles, and tissues decorated the room from wall to wall. "Who seems to not being doing so well" He finished saying as he closed her door quietly.

She breathed sharply and sat back down at her desk staring intensely at the mound of stress before her. "Two tests, a dress, and a head cold." Marinette stated back to him.

She began to put pins into different sections and parts of the fabrics connecting them to each other. Marine pulled her face away from the project when she saw leather gloves gently taking the fabric away from her clutches.

"Bad kitty I have to finished that, I'm almost done" She whined letting him take the things away.

She slumped her chair as she watched Chat gathered any pins,needles, fabrics,and scissors that he could see, and put them out of her eye sight. She watched as he made his way back to her chair putting his hands on the arm rest trapping her. Chat leaned forward; his green eyes blazing her skin.

"You look like absolute death," he grinned inching closer to her face.

She glared at him, "how flattering" She shot back rolling her eyes.

He unzipped his leather glove off and pressed the back of his hand to her forehead. Against his cold hand heat radiated from her flushed face.

"Will you please get into bed" He said flatly pulling away.

"I can't I have chemistry homework still" She mumbled closing her eyes.

She yelped as he hooked his arms under her legs putting his other hand on her back. She didn't fight him and obliged to him placing her onto her bed pulling the covers over her small frame. She let her body sink into the soft bed as she turned onto her side making eye contact with Chat who's last beep warning let out. He shrugged and walked over to her binder that held her homework. He swiped it up and looked at it intensely. He then swept his gaze back to the smaller girl who was now curled up letting the sleep take over; however she still looked at him with an exhausted look.

"My favorite kind of homework" He laughed as he sat down at her desk eager to start her homework.

Marinettes eyelids felt like sandbags as she witnessed Chat became Adrien, his ears and leather outfit disintegrating leaving behind Adrien. Marinettes body shivered as she wrapped herself into the blankets.

"So cold" Marinette wined rolling over hugging her knees and she closed her eyes.

She laid in comfortable silence until she felt arms wrap around the front of her. Marinette now fully aware of the situation, she opened her eyes. Marinette's eyes adjusted to the blurry face in front of her, Adrien's emerald eyes stared back at her. Marinette blinked repeatedly analyzing the situation. She was deathly sick laying in bed with her long time crush. Boy was she glad that her door was locked. Marinette saw the opportunity and took it. She inched closer to him pressing her chest against his pressing her hands against his chest. Marinette nuzzled her head into the nape of his neck, Adrien laid there perfectly still letting his natural warmth engulf her. For the next fifteen minutes they laided tangled together listening to the hustle and bustle of the city at night. The sounds of cars and groups of late night walkers filled the silent room complementing the moonlight that littered the bedroom . Marinette was out like a light the second time Adrien opened his eyes. He looked down at the smaller girl sleeping. Her soft congested snores and purple bags under her eyes were no match for the soft smile plastered on her face, or the way her blue hair swept onto her face effortly. He grinned to himself and leaned down placing a soft kiss on her forehead before closing his eyes to sleep.

Sunrise rose and planted soft kisses of morning blues and purples onto the earth's surface. Marinette stirred awake, she looked up at the now sleeping boy next to her. Adrien's face was was highlighted by the sun creeping up through her balcony window. Marinette couldn't help herself as she pulled herself up to his level placing a delicate kiss on his forehead. Marinette then layed back down next to him enjoying the company; but shortly after that she heard her door squeak open. Marinette lay deathly still pretending to be asleep.

"It was destined to happen" She heard her mother squeal.

"Sh, if they wake up it will be awkward for everyone, just let them sleep" Her dad's voice whispered back.

"At least it was him and not that boy Nino" Sabine shot back.

"No way" Tom laughed, "From the way I see thoughts two look at each other, it reminds me of when we were in high school".

"Oh shut up and close the door" Sabine giggled to her husband.

Marinette made a mental note of making sure that she actually locked her door next time. She kept her eyes closed for a couple more minutes.

"Ah yes your door was totally locked" Adriens said looking down at her.

She sighed and shot up, "Ok in my defense I felt like crap yesterday"

Adrien laughed and sat up resting his head on her shoulder snaking his arms around her waist, "Yeah I know and than I sacrificed my well being for your coldness"

Marinette rubbed her eyes and yawned, "Don't you need to go home before school starts?"

Adrien lifted his head up and looked at her "Marinette, It's saturday"

Her eyes darted to the calendar hanging up at her desk, studying the data she concluded that yes it was Saturday. Marinette let out a long sigh as she sunk back into her bed and pulled the covers over her head. Adrien swore that all of paris could hear her sighs of disapproval.

(Ok I've been super sick this week and when I meant you guys were going to get an early chapter. I really meant an early chapter for the fact that I'm sick, katsucon is next week, and I procrastinated all of my cosplays. Basically that means I'm hoping to get a much shorter chapter out by than for a certain holiday that's coming up very soon. As literally always thanks so much for the reviews and likes it means so much! Shout out to my best friend who is my life support for spell checking.)
