Gingerly Adrian helped Marinette sit up, moving a pillow behind her back to keep her propped up, trying to ease her obvious pain.
"I'm going to grab the first aid kit, sit tight for a second, okay?" He smiled at her gently before moving off into the bathroom. Looking around stiffly, Marinette spotted a little ball of black hovering around…
"Tikki!" Marinette threw her legs over the side of the bed and stumbled forward, landing painfully on her hands and knees.
"Oh Tikki, Tikki please are you okay?" She reached forward, trying to reach the desk she was on. "Please say something!"
"She's fine, just resting." A little black ball buzzed around Marinette's out-stretched hand, settling comfortably on the tip of her finger.
"She went through quite an ordeal to have you de-akumatized, I'll have you know. Although she's not hurt she's been completely exhausted and won't be awake for another couple of hours." The little Kwami grinned, floating back over to Tikki's side. "I would appreciate it if you got back into bed, Adrian will probably freak if he sees-"
"Marinette! Did you fall? Are you okay?!" Adrian rushed over, dropping the first aid kit on the ground all but forgotten in his hast to reach Marinette.
"I'm fine," She sighed, leaning into Adrian's broad chest, exhaustion taking over again. "I was just worried about Tikki, but your Kwami-"
"Plagg,"
"Plagg," Marinette corrected with a gentle smile. "Plagg told me she was just resting," Marinette turned her face upwards, looking up at Adrian fondly. "Thank you for taking such good care of her, of both of us. We couldn't ask for a better partner." Adrian chuckled, drawing his arms around her slight waist and lifting her up easily.
"Let's get you patched up, huh? There are clean towels and cloths for you in the bathroom. Feel free to take a shower and wash up a bit. Then we can take a look at you're injury's." He dropped her off in the bathroom, resting her on the edge of the counter as he turned on the shower, fiddling with the nobs until the temperature was perfect and to his liking. Turning to Marinette he handed her a soft flannel washcloth, shyness suddenly overtaking the both of them.
"Can you, ah, ahem, um can you stand? In the shower I mean, while you shower. I just don't want you to slip and fall and…um, well-"
Marinette blushed hot red, averting her eyes from his, toeing off her shoes nervously.
"I think I'll be okay. I-I can just sit, that no problem. Yeah, don't worry I'll be fine." Swallowing thickly Adrian just nodded and hurried out of the bathroom, closing the door and letting out a long sigh.
"Now that was just sad," Plagg said, smirking at his miraculous holder. "I was embarrassed just listening." Adrian groaned, face planting into his bed.
So I know this chapter is way too short, and that it took forever for this update. I am also aware that this chapter is pathetic and awful. I am sorry for all of these things. Life got crazy fast and writers block hit me hard. Truth of the matter is, I'm not feeling very good or confident in my writing, which is really hard and taking a toll on my work and me. I'm sure these feelings will pass but still it's hard. I promise I will finish this story and write others. It might just take a while. If you have any ideas or requests for stories or things you think I should watch, please please let me know. PM me or message me on my Tumblr page. Anyways, until next time friends.
