Prompt: chat faints after a fight and wakes up in Mari's room, where she nurses him and he receives an earful from a furious worried princess

Chat was certain this akuma was crazy. Insane. Losing his mind. It was weird as he would go from trying to stop his actions to fully enforcing them. But he wasn't fighting the akuma inside him. He was called Split Personality and quite frankly, Chat was certain he didn't have a personality.

Now, both Ladybug and Chat Noir have taken a rough beating from this akuma. You don't want to make him angry. Unfortunately, Chat had been hit in the head multiple times and was starting to feel very dizzy. Along with the rest of the bruises on his body, sleep sounded so good. But he couldn't leave his lady! But…but it was quiet and sounded so nice. Sleep….dreams….

"Chat?!" Ladybugs voice yelled, worry laced in her tone.

My lady?

"Don't fall asleep! Chat!"

But why? I'm…I'm so tired…

A flash of the cleansing light made Chats body fully relax. Everything was ok. But, why was his head still pounding? His bruises didn't hurt as much but he could barely see. Suddenly a blurry red and blue figure was in his sights.

"Chat?"

Her voice even sounded blurry.

"Chat you can't go to sleep! Stay awake….stay….awake…."

Lady….

Her voice faded out and Chat couldn't help but close his eyes. Sleep felt good.

Ladybug was at a crossroads at the moment. Her Miraculous along with Chats are running out of time. But Chat was injured far worse then they both thought. And now he could have a serious concussion and she didn't know what to do! Logically, she should take him to the hospital but then people will know his secret identity and that just won't do. Ladybug sighed as another spot and paw flickered out. Throwing one of Chats arms over her shoulder, she started rushing to her house.

Slipping in through the balcony, Ladybug laid Chat down on her chaise, quickly rushing out of the room. Both were on their one minute before transforming back. In a flash of red light, Ladybug turned back to Marinette. She was a bit battered but it wasn't noticeable. Pressing her ear on the door, she could hear Chats de-transformation.

Suddenly Marinette felt light-headed. She could just open the door and see who her kitty cat was. No. No she can't. She can't betray his trust. She can't put him in even more danger. Tikki faded through he door and into the room. Two loud squeals made Marinette jump and Tikki flew out, being chased by a black Kwami.

"Hello!" Marinette said softly, smiling kindly at the black cat. He stared at Marinette and started laughing. She felt a little uneasy but kept up her grin.

"Names Plagg. Hey luck, do you have any cheese?"

He was blunt.

And obviously hungry.

"Your Chats kwami,"

"Yep. Kids pretty beat. You might wanna-"

"No!" Marinette squealed, shaking her head rapidly. "I can't see him de-transformed! And you can't tell him who I am either!"

Plagg frowned and tilted his head. "He's been dying to know who you are! If your scared-"

"I'm terrified!" Marinette hissed, hugging her body with her arms. "I don't want him to o ow who I am. Please…"

Plagg sighed but agreed none the less. Tikki was oddly quiet and started nibbling on her cookies. Marinette got Plagg some cheese bread and patiently waited. When the kwami finished he floated towards the door, still smacking his lips.

"He wouldn't be disappointed," was all he said before phasing through. Marinette sighed and waited. The energy burst made her jump and peak in the room. Sure enough, Chat Noir was back. Marinette gathered her first aid kit and sat on the floor, next to her chaise. First she started wiping off the smudges of blood. Then, she wasn't flustered no no she had an actual reason, she pulled the zipper of the top of Chats suit down and gaped at his bruised front.

Chat took a harder beating then she really thought. Did he protect her that much? So many old scars. Poor kitty. Getting an alcohol pad, Marinette wiped down some of the open cuts and old ones, just to be sure. A weak whine made Marinette look up with a frown.

"Kitty?"

"M'Lady?"

Marinette deflated a little. Of course he thinks of Ladybug first.

"No,"

Chat opened his eyes and blinked. The room didn't spin anymore and was just a bit blurry. He could see the frown and worried eyes of blue stare at him. Princess.

"Princess?"

"Bad kitty," was all she said, wiping the alcohol pad on another cut making Chat hiss louder. "How's your head?"

"Puuuurfect,"

"I'm serious Chat,"

"So am I! I'm fine Mari," Chat stood only to yelp at the sudden pain in his ribs. Marinette's eyes hardened and a glare was sent his way. "I'm ok. No need to be such a mother hen," Chat chuckled, eyes wide with amusement.

Marinette's glare left and suddenly tears filled them. Chat blinked, alarmed.

"Stop saying your ok when your not! None of this was ok! You getting hurt wasn't ok! Do you get how scared I was when that akuma kept bashing you? All I could do was watch it from the screen! And then you faint!" Chat was in a shocked silence, watching his friend pace. "And then Ladybug comes into my room, carrying you, and she says I have to help you! I was so freaked out because both of your Miraculous' were beeping!"

Chat tensed and stared wide eyed at Marinette.

"My Mira-"

"I didn't see you," Marinette sighed, gently brushing against his temple. "I feed your kwami though and he changed you back,"

Chat was both happy and disappointed. He paused for a second before cheekily looking over at Marinette, trying to brighten up the mood.

"So Doctor, am I gonna live?"

"Yes, your just really bruised…everywhere," Marinette cleaned up her mess and turned to Chat again. "Please don't scare me like that again,"

"I'm sorry," Chat grabbed Marinette's hands and kissed her knuckles. Marinette blushed pink and pulled her hand away. As Chat sat up, he winced and sighed as he will probably be sore for a few days. A week at most. Chat paused as he realized a few things. One, that his bare skin was able to feel the sheets and blankets of Marinette's chaise. They pooled at his waist and he made the connection that she probably put them there when he slept. Two, he didn't have the top part of his uniform because calling it a costume isn't right Plagg gosh. A smirk appeared on Chats face making Marinette feel a bit uneasy.

"Purrrrincess, if you wanted to see me naked you could have just asked,"

Marinette's face turned red with embarrassment.

"WHAT?! No I don't want to see you naked! Your not even naked! Your like half naked! Shut up!"

Chat started laughing hard, curling over with a smirk. Marinette's cheeks now flushed red with anger and she grabbed one of her pillows and started beating the cackling feline.

"You PERVERT! YOU'RE A FREAKING PERVERT CHAT NOIR!"

"Mari-ow! Marinette stop-ow! Stop hitting me-ow! Put the pillow down! Ow! I would have let you even if you didn't ask!"

"ARRRGGGGHHHH! STUPID CAT!"

A/N: done!
