Marinette's POV

My head hurts. Like really hurts, like I think someone kicked my head.

But like, with a brick.

"What the hell kinda headache is this?" I ask, not bothering to engage any of my senses before demanding answers from nothing.

"You got shot in the head noob." A voice says from beside me. The voice belongs to the love of my life. I look at my love.

Adrien look's tired that's for sure, they're bags under his eyes and he looks like someone turned his brightness settings down. Bright green eyes don't shine and he couldn't model for L'Oreal Paris if he tried.

"If I'm the one who got shot why do you look awful?" My voice is strained, croaky and painful to hear. It doesn't sound like me and I'm surprised I didn't notice earlier.

"Me? Look awful? Did the bullet damage your brain that bad?" Adrien chuckles but it sounds forced. His voice sounds forced like he wants to cry. I can't believe I didn't notice earlier.

"Are you okay?" My voice has whispered itself to comfort Adrien and my hands have wrapped around his for the same reason.

"Mari you got shot in the head. You're the one who's not okay." He sounds so, so sad. So sad it makes me sad.

"Hey, don't make me feel guilty for getting shot. I'm right as rain, you've obviously had a bad day." I almost sigh from the sadness but I reckon that would make my head hurt more.

"I thought you died... I thought I had lost you..." He starts crying as he speaks and I end up crying with him.

"Adrien, I'm here now. I'm never gonna leave you alright? You ain't losing this bitch." I pull my sad boi into a snog.

Bird's POV

Not gonna lie, my day is ruined.

I was gonna steal some food while the humans were distracted by the death of their own but turns out she was alive.

People noticed me and I got hit by a paper plate. It was a brutal attack and I'm surprised I survived. But here I am watching the human who didn't die do weird looking stuff with another human.

It's a bit gross to watch though so I'm gonna look through the other window. There's a whole bunch of humans outside the not-dead human's room.

Some look sad, like me when I was hit by the plate. Some have cameras and notebooks, unlike me because I'm a bird. And the rest look- that's the human who attacked me!

The ill intent in her eyes is so familiar despite how aggressively she's crying. Actually, she doesn't seem very evil. She seems sad.

She doesn't have any paper plates either.

Despite desperately disliking her I fly in through the window. There's a human besides her but he's snoring. He doesn't care when I land on the shoulder closer to plate human.

I try to cheer up the plate human as much as possible. But it seems the violent girl is really, really sad.

So I sit on the snoring humans head, look her dead in the eyes and squark;

"Yo."

The human girl immediately freaks out and forgets the sad thing because of the shock.

"You can talk?! You're a bird!"

"No, you idiot! I'm a singing frog. Of course, I can talk!" My response is all the more shocking apparently because her eyes go bigger than an egg.

The girl gets more freaked out before taking a deep breathe and lying to herself, "It's not a talking bird Alya. You're imagining things."

"Lol no." Believe it or not but I know a lot of human slang. Way more than some dumb copying parrot.

"A-Ah sorry. Omlb, okay Alya talk to the bird. Everythings' fine." The human took more deep breathes. "So uh bird, what's your name?"

"Borb, Borb Birb." I chirped as friendly as I can.

"Oh okay. Well, I'm Alya. Please don't hurt me." She glances nervously at my beak.

"Like how you hurt me with that plate?" I laugh- in a birdly way.

"Oh shit-"

Marinette's POV

"So do we know who shot me?" I ask Adrien after our brief romantic moment. My head still hurts like a buttcheek on a stick.

"Oh, we think it was Canada as a declaration of war." Adrien casually says.

"WHAT?!" Adrien sends my injured brain into a frenzy. War?!

"I'm kidding," Adrien says, deadpanning. "It's that thot, Lila."

"Oh."

"As a declaration of war."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, "
