I do not, and never will own miraculous ladybug
Since some of you seemed to want another chapter, here it is. I hope you enjoy. -Alice O'flynn
Marinette woke in the hospital for the second time in only a few days. Her entire body ached, but thankfully, she didn't feel much pain. Her eyes opened to light, a lot of light. She looked around the hospital room, her eyes hazy for a moment. But when she finally focused, she noticed Chat Noir next to her, holding her hand. Why hadn't she noticed that first?
"C-Chat?" She asked, her voice heavy.
"My Lady," His voice was serious, and his green eyes burned with emotion. "Please don't do that to me again. You scared me. I don't know what I would do without you. I know you can be stubborn, but when your life is at stake, please, please let others take care of you." He was squeezing her hand, and tears were rolling down his face.
"I'm sorry," Marinette said, her eyes misting up as well. "I'm really sorry Kitty. I shouldn't have scared you like that. It was more serious than I thought. Thank you, so much, for saving me."
"Take care of yourself, okay? I really don't want to lose you My Lady."
"How-How did you know who I was?" Marinette asked, realizing that she was not transformed, yet he was still calling her his lady.
"Your injury. It's the exact same one what Ladybug got. You confirmed it for me last night as well."
"Oh…. But…. How did I get here? I don't remember much of last night….. You…. You came to visit me, right? Why?"
"I brought you here. I needed to check up on you. You were out of it the entire school day, and left early, that's how I knew something was off. I needed to make sure you were okay….. But you weren't."
"How… How did you know what I was like at school?"
"I go to school there as well… I'm in your class."
"But….. Everyone in my class has gotten akumatized…. Everyone except me…. And….A-A-Adrien?" She started stuttering when she said his same.
"At your service, My Lady." He said, kissing her hand.
"Y-You're A-Adrien?"
"Yes, My Lady."
"No…. I can't believe it…. You can't be… Adrien….." Marinette's words confused Adrien.
"Why not?"
"Because, it can't have been Adrien who has been flirting with me. I can't have been rejecting the boy I have a crush on…. Forget I said anything." Marinette hadn't meant to admit her crush.
"You have a crush. On-On Adrien?" Chat's voice sounded a bit strangled.
"I guess there's no hiding it now. Yes. I've had a crush on him, every since that day in the rain, when he-you gave me an umbrella."
"I… I thought you still didn't like me. I thought I made you uncomfortable."
"I have to ask you… I've always wondered… Do you actually care about Ladybug? I know you're a flirt and all….. I just…. Do you really care about me that much?"
"Of course I do, My Lady. You aren't just my crime fighting partner. But you are my best friend. And the Love of my life."
"Are you sure you didn't fall for the mask?"
"I know I didn't….. Remember when we first met, and you were having second thoughts about being Ladybug? You put that aside to save the innocent. That's what I love about you. Even if you're scared, you defend others. You are selfless. That's what I fell in love with."
"You really love me."
"With all my heart."
"And I love you, Adrien. Chat. I love you with all my heart."
