Prompt: Mari is in the hospital after a very serious akuma attack and Chat comes to check her out and make sure she's ok... worry wart...
Pain. Everything was in pain. Granted it was her fault but still, she could complain about it. On her part, it was very very very stupid to go running into an akuma attack in her civilian form but with Tikki out of commission and Chat growing more and more tired, she realized she couldn't just stand there. She also knew she probably should have thought everything out more. The akuma was of a construction worker who got fired for inadequate work and turned into the Constructor.
Chat and Ladybug where fighting to the best of their ability and just as she finished shouting Lucky Charm, one of his hammered fists slammed into her, knocking her back. She knew Tikki couldn't take much more and quickly shouted about recharging. The pain in her ribs burned like fire. They were bruised in the least. She might have cracked a few. Tikki was also injured and was whimpering quietly. She couldn't go back out there. Giving her little kwami a cookie she set her bag down and out of site. A strangled yelp made her jump into action. Chat was underneath the Constructor and had a drill aiming for his head.
"Chat!" She remembered screaming and running toward them grabbing some off the rubble, trying to distract the akuma before it did more damage. It was fairly easy to distract him. Chat was still struggling underneath the large wood planks, meant to keep him there. She could remember him yelling at her to run but she couldn't. She had to fight. This was her city.
Everything went downhill from there. The pain she felt amplified as she ran away, leading the akuma away and grabbed her bag. Tikki could clean the akuma without transforming, she just needed a lot of food. Of course at the moment she was Marinette and didn't have the grace of Ladybug, so of course she fell. The Constructor grabbed her by the leg and dragged her across the ground causing her to grit her teeth in pain. Turning, she started throwing rocks. The hammer in his fist was definitely where the akuma was hiding as it seemed to be the bringer of all the destruction. A black blur and a silver baton collided with the Constructor, making the akuma drop Marinette. She groaned as she scratched her forehead and landed on her arm. She army crawled to the baton and looked to see Chat Noir having a hissy fit all over the akuma.
"Chat!" Her voice was weaker and she threw the baton. "Use cataclysm on his hammer." She yelled. He did as he was told and the whole hammer broke. The purple akuma flew out and fluttered but a red light grabbed it and soon a white butterfly flew away.
The luck charm in Marinette's hand disappeared and went in a burst of red lights putting everything back to normal. She barely noticed Chat kneeling in front of her, worrying over her. The red and blue lights of an ambulance brought her to the hospital she was currently in. Two broken ribs and a sprained arm with a lot of bruising. She had a small bandage over her head but no head damage. She was slowly falling asleep when she noticed a black figure enter her room from the window. It slowly made its way over to her and the moon beamed over the stoic face of Chat Noir.
"Chat?" She whispered.
"What were you thinking?" He hissed angrily. Marinette furrowed her brow in confusion.
"What are you-"
"Don't you get you could have died?! What were you even thinking, going against an akuma? And without a weapon?!"
"I did have a weapon." She retorted.
"Rubble doesn't count." Chat sighed, eyes flashing dangerously with barely contained anger. "That was the stupidest thing you have ever done Marinette." That's when Marinette finally took in the severity of this. How his shoulders slumped with defeat but held tense at the same time. His fists clenched and unclenched and how set his jaw was. How he didn't call her princess.
"Kitty?"
"Why...Why would you do that?" He muttered, running a hand over his face.
"I saw you getting hurt. I didn't want you to be hurt." She whispered, tears building up in her eyes.
"It's not your job to look out for me!" He hissed, glassy eyes narrowing at her. "That's my job. And that means I have to look after you too!" He paused, sucking in a sharp breath. "I was-I was scared when you came out of nowhere and attacked. And to see you just get dragged around like a rag doll, i thought-" He choked on a sob and Marinette stared with wide eyes, a single tear trailing down her cheek.
"I thought I wouldn't make it in time to save you. Ladybug wasn't there and I-I didn't know what to do!"
"Kitty." She called softly to him. He turned, eyes becoming red. "Come here Kitty." She said again, scooting over a bit. Chat walked over and sat on the edge. Marinette gently lowered him onto the bed and curled up next to him.
"It's ok. I'm ok." She shushed him as he started to cry again.
"I thought I was going to lose you."
"Never. I promise." She wiped away his tears and gave a watery smile. "No crying kitty. It's very OOC of you." Chat chuckled and wiped his eyes as well and cupped her cheek.
"I could say the same to you." She smiled and nuzzled his palm. Chat looked over her bruised body and felt guilt well up in his chest. She seemed to notice and glared.
"Hey, Chat. This?" She motioned to herself. "This is not your fault. I was being stupid and this is my fault. All mine ok. You have nothing to do with this. If it wasn't for you, I would be dead. So thank you, kitty. My knight." She whispered, stroking his hand soothingly.
"Anything for my Princess." He muttered back, kissing her forehead. Chat pulled Marinette closer to him and rested his chin on the top of her head. Marinette smiled and kissed his collarbone softly as it was all she could reach and fell asleep, gripping him tightly to her. They'd be ok.
