Thanks to @yaoikitten133 and @DustpeltWarriors you guys really made my day! I seriously can't stop smiling at all the nice comments people send! You guys have no idea how much those mean to me!

Marinette gripped her blanket tightly and sighed into the warm cloth. She furrowed her eyebrows as she heard a soft steady drumming underneath her. She patted around the hard surface.

Well this isn't right...

She shot up and stared wide eyed at the boy laying in front of her. She gasped and quickly slapped a hand over her mouth. The boy underneath her was no one other than Adrien Agreste.

What the hell happened? What the hell is happening?!

The boy beneath her groaned an turned onto his side, tugging Marinette back onto his chest. Marinette's face flamed as she thought back to what happened.

The last thing I remember is watching the Proposal with Chat Noir... There's no way- Adrien couldn't possibly be- no! This is all some misunderstanding. It's-

Marinette's phone went off and she darted up, panting heavily and holding a fist to her chest. She looked around her pink room for any sign of Adrien or Chat but saw nothing.

Great. She had been so worked up with her torn thoughts, she had ended up dreaming Adrien was Chat Noir. That would have solved so many issues. She sighed before grabbing her phone to stop the busy, just to catch the time.

"Oh crap Tikki! School!" The little lilac eyed red kwami flew up to Marinette's face.

"You're gonna be late Marinette!" Marinette rushed around the room pulling on all her clothes. She tripped as she put her flats on and grabbed a black and lime colored jacket she made after Chat before noticing the note on her desk.

She picked herself up and Tikki sat on her shoulder.

She picked up the paper and read it out loud.

Dear Marinette,

Thanks for letting me stay and bake cupcakes and watch that movie with you. I don't get to see too many movies so you should get another one for when I visit again. And also, you talk in your sleep. It's cute. I'll see you later Princess.

Love, Chat.

She smiled at the note but frowned when she got to the end.

How does he know that?

"Marinette! Your neck!" Tikki exclaimed as she was putting her hair into her signature pigtails.

"What do you mean- oh my gosh! It's still there!" She placed a hand on the bruising hickey Chat had given her yesterday.

"Marinette what are you gonna do? If you don't leave now you'll be late again and you'll get grounded!"

Marinette quickly untied the ribbons in her hair and let her blue hair cascade down. The wavy locks covered Chat's mark and framed her face perfectly.

"Let's go!"

~~~~~

They were halfway through the day when Chloe decided to pick on Marinette. She was walking to her next class when Chloe decided to trip Marinette halfway down the stairs. Marinette's papers flew as she tumbled down the rest of the stairs, landing on her wrist. Hard.

She cried out in pain but quickly tried to gather her stuff before Chloe could.

"Marinette!" Alya and Nino rushed per to her and helped her up, Alya picking up the papers and Nino holding Marinette.

"Are you okay dudette?" Nino asked as he inspected her wrist.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Nino and Alya turned their glare on Chloe who was standing a few feet away with a paper in her hand.

But not just any paper. The note Chat had given Marinette.

Chloe read the note in her head. Her face was a twist of emotions. Anger and confusion being some of them.

Suddenly a smirk came across her face as she stared evilly at Marinette.

"You talk in your sleep huh?" Adrien turned around the corner to see the scene. Chloe ripped the paper into chunks and let them flutter to the ground.

Adrien watched as Nino let go of his sweet Marinette and rushed to hold Alya back. Marinette fell to her knees as she rushed to pick up the ripped pieces. He rushed over to help her and his eyes narrowed in on her slightly swollen wrist. He grabbed her arm and pulled her up after all the papers were collected.

"Is your wrist okay?" She quietly nodded before storming off to her next class.

"Dude, Adrien, help me!" Nino complained, struggling to hold Alya back. Adrien placed a hand on her shoulder. She snapped her head up to meet his eyes and glared at him.

"Let me at her! I can slap that girl silly!"

"I know you can. But let me handle this one Alya."

"But-"

"Trust me."

~~~~~

It was around eight when Chat arrived to his Princess's house. He quietly snuck himself in and watched her as she began to hand sew the hem on some black and white polka dot flannel shorts. Her hand was shaking.

He patiently waited for her to set the needle down before making his presence known.

"Hey my Princess." He waited for her typical response like 'who said I was your princess?' Or 'hey my Kitty.' But instead was greeted with a dull 'hi.'

"What's wrong?" He sat himself down on Marinette's desk as she continued sewing.

"Nothing." She muttered under her breath as she focused on the shorts in front of her.

"Please, Princess. I know you better than you think. I can tell if you're lying."

"Nothing's wrong Chat. I had a great day today!" His cat like eyes zeroed in in her rubbing the pendant he had given her between her thumb and pointer finger.

"I know you're lying. Just tell me. I'm always up to listening if it's for you my Princess." She paused her sewing for a second before sighing and starting back up again.

"There's this girl named Chloe, you know, the mayor's daughter? Today she tripped me down the stairs and hurt my wrist." Chat frowned in anger and worry as she continued.

"That's not even the worst part kitty." He looked at the tears brimming in her beautiful bluebell eyes. She sniffed and rubbed her eyes with her sleeves.

"She read your note and tore it up before taking my sketchbook."

"Princess, I can always buy you a new one-"

"No!" She cried, cutting him off. "You don't understand Kitty. That sketchbook had all of my designs for your clothing line! And they mean a lot to me... And now, I'll probably never see them again..."

He stared at her breaking figure and saw a single tear roll down her face, glistening from the light provided by her lamp.

"I'll be back in 20 minutes Marinette." He felt a pang in his heart leaving his Princess broken and sad like that but he had something he had to do.

~~~~~

Chat Noir was standing on Chloe's balcony. He pushed the door that was idly open and stepped into her room.

She was laying on her bed with Marinette's sketchbook, laughing at all of her designs.

"Oh look! She has a design for Chat Noir!" She said to herself before cracking up. "The geeky nobody and the worthless sidekick together."

"Chloe." She let out a scream before hiding under her covers.

"C-Chat Noir. What are you doing here?" She scowled at him, getting back above the covers.

"I want Marinette's sketchbook back."

"So it's true!" She laughed again, holding a manicured hand to her chest.

"Give me the sketchbook Chloe."

"Or what?" She taunted as he walked closer to him.

"Besides me becoming your worst nightmare? I'll tell Ladybug what you did. And she just simply despises thieves and bullies."

"You can't become my worst nightmare! You're a superhero!" She held into the sketchbook and skimped to the back of her headboard.

"I may be a hero, but right now Chloe, you're the villain. And I'm pretty sure Ladybug and that boy Adrien you love won't be too happy at the fact that you hurt and stole something from Marinette cause I sure as hell am not."

"Now," he continued when he saw he ha her full attention. "You will give me her sketchbook and apologize to Marinette at school tomorrow, in front of the whole class." She nodded and gave him the sketchbook.

"I didn't even want it anyways."

Chat was on her railing when he yelled to her. "Also, don't tell anybody about this or that note you read today, Chloe." He leapt off of the balcony and made his way to Marinette's room.

"I'm back my Princess."

"Where'd you go?" She came out of her bathroom with wet hair.

"I got you this." He handed her her spotted sketchbook.

"Kitty! Thank you so much!" She jumped on him and hugged him tightly, wrapping her legs around his torso.

"Anything for you my Princess." He hugged back as he carried her whole weight which was surprisingly not much.

"As compensation can you give me a kiss?"

She shook her head into his neck and he sighed.

"Well can I at least dry your hair?" When she nodded he grinned and sat on a chair. When Marinette came back with a blow dryer he plugged it in and patted his lap.

He noticed the blush that covered her face as she sat cross legged on his thighs as he turned on the dryer.

I hope I can get that kiss in the near future, my Princess.

I made it extra long for the delay. And since we haven't done a QOTC in a while...

QOTC: what's your favorite song?

AOTC: Mine is the Girl by Hellberg and Control by Halsey

Until next time, peace!
