Checking In
Adrien's POV
After y/n has called her parents with the news, since Ladybug hadn't told them yet, they rush to the hospital.
"Y/n!" Her mother says loudly, hurrying into the room.
"Hey guys."
"What happened?!" Mr. L/n asks.
"There was an accident... Involving a knife..." Y/n says.
"You said I was exaggerating when I said you might've been bleeding out with a stab wound!" Mrs. L/n says, which makes me wonder what kind of conversation brought that on.
"Well now you get to say 'I told you so!'"
"How did this happen?! Where were you?!" Her dad asks.
"I was the Eiffel Tower, and someone new who had the same powers as Hawkmoth had a knife and stabbed me."
"And where were you?!" He asks, turning to me.
"I was there, but everything happened so fast I couldn't do anything. I detained the person immediately though." I doubt he'd believe me saying how awful I feel.
"So you just let her be stabbed?! But it's OK, since you got the bad guy."
"No! I feel horrible about it!"
"He got hurt too!" Y/n says.
"Must not have been too bad, he seems fine."
"He had to get stitches!"
"It doesn't matter! At least you're both alright now!" Mrs. L/n interrupts.
They stay and visit for hours, until s/n starts complaining of being bored and tired.
"You take s/n home, I'll stay with y/n." Mrs. L/n tells her husband.
"It's ok mom, you don't need to stay. You have work to do tomorrow, plus I doubt you'll be able to sleep well on that." She says, gesturing to the uncomfortable looking couch her parents are on.
"I'll be fine, besides I don't want you to have to stay here alone."
"She won't be alone, I'm staying here. They're supposed to be monitoring my stitches, so I won't be going to school." I say.
"No way! You can't stay in here alone with her!" Mr. L/n outbursts.
"There's going to be nurses checking in every little while just like they have been." Y/n reminds him.
"That doesn't matter! Besides, he's the one who let you get here in the first place!"
"He didn't let me get stabbed!"
"I really didn't!"
"F/n, really. They're both injured, nothing is going to happen." Her mom says. (Father's Name)
"Yeah!" Y/n confirms.
"I'm going to be asking a nurse to be checking in with you every few minutes! So don't try anything!" He says to us, probably mostly directed to me
"We won't! Jeez!" Y/n responds.
They all say goodbye, and y/n's dad gives me a very pointed look on his way out.
"We're not gonna get like, any sleep if nurses are in here every two minutes." Y/n groans.
"Maybe they'll just peek in?"
"Hopefully."
Kaalki and Nooroo fly out from their hiding places, and Kaalki looks at us.
"He was right, no funny business! You both need to rest!"
"Don't worry Kaalki, we will!" Y/n laughs.
"If your dad knew she was here he wouldn't have had any problems!" I joke.
"Yeah, right! He'd worry if there were fifty armed guards watching."
"Let's just be glad he didn't assign that."
"I wouldn't be surprised if he did."
We laugh, as a nurse comes in.
"As a patient, you should be moved to a room with a bed." He says to me.
"I'll be fine on the couch."
"That wouldn't be very comfortable, especially with your condition."
"Really, I don't mind. I just want to stay in here."
"You need a good spot to sleep, sleep will help you feel better!"
"Then bring me a cot or something in here, if you're so concerned." I don't mean to sound rude, but I already said I'd stay with y/n, plus I want to.
"We don't have anything like that available. You need a bed in a room."
"This is a room. It has a bed." Y/n says.
"You can't share one!"
"Why not? Would it be too painful?" I ask.
"Probably, and it's just not normally allowed."
"Normally? What's the exception?"
"Near death situations, where someone may not make it through the night."
"Ew, so like, laying with someone while they die?" Y/n questions.
"Yes."
"That sounds weird. Don't worry about it, we've shared a bed before, it's not a big deal." Y/n says.
The nurse tries to argue more, but the same doctor who stitched me up comes in, hearing some of the conversation.
"Is he refusing to leave again?" She asks.
"Yes, they're insisting it's fine for him to sleep in here, instead of a different room!"
"He wouldn't leave so I could give him stitches. There's no moving him."
"Thank you! Why is it such a big deal?"
"Because we never do this kind of thing. Most people just agree to leave."
"I'm not most people."
"So I've noticed. I suppose being a superhero has given you a knack for determination."
"Yeah, I guess."
"Well, as long as nothing much happens in here, it should be alright."
"Nothing is gonna happen, except sleeping! And talking. Maybe eating." Y/n says
"That better be it." The doctor says and pulls the nurse along with her.
"He must really care about her to refuse to do this stuff." I hear her saying.
"I do." I whisper to them.
"What did you say?" Y/n asks.
"Oh, I was talking to myself.
"You're silly."
"I know."
She laughs while I get up from my chair and move to the side of her bed.
"So how are you feeling?" I ask.
"Fine as frog hair!"
"What?!" I say, laughing.
"I heard that somewhere, I dunno."
We continue laughing, until another nurse checks in.
"Just making sure you two are alright!"
"Thanks."
Y/n rolls her eyes as the nurse leaves.
"Have you fed Plagg? He's probably tired." She asks.
"No, but I don't know what to do, I can't stay detransformed! The nurses looking in here every five minutes will see me!"
"That's right, maybe you could just detransform every little while and he won't mind so much?"
"That might work, you genius!"
She giggles as I release Plagg.
"You're gonna need a lot more cheese for that plan!" He says.
"Don't worry Plagg, I'll get you some, but for now, here." I say, digging into my bag for the emergency stash.
"Hey! I didn't know that was there!"
"Exactly! Good thing too, or you wouldn't have any!"
He eats it, chats a bit with the other kwamis, until the door starts to open so I have to transform back.
Another nurse checking in.
"Hey, is there any camembert in the cafeteria?" Y/n asks.
"Um, yes, probably. Would you like some?"
"Yes please."
The nurse leaves to get it, so we expect a return rather quickly.
Y/n yawns, then winces in pain.
"Are you alright?! Do you need the doctor?" I ask, ready to leap up.
"No, I'm fine. Just tired."
"Me too. When the nurse gets back, we can get some sleep. Hopefully they won't be loud when they check in."
"They better not be!" Y/n jokes.
I laugh and lean down to kiss her.
After a second, the nurse must be coming back in, since the door opens.
It is a nurse, holding a tray of cheese, but she also asks about y/n's elevated heart monitor.
We both start laughing awkwardly, while the nurse watches.
"I was asked to check on you two all night to make sure nothing happens in here. Nothing was happening, right?" She says in a no nonsense tone.
"It was just a little kiss! Nothing to be so worked up about!" Y/n says.
"Then why was your heart beating faster?"
"That's normal!"
"We were just saying goodnight, that's all." I say.
These people sure keep a close watch.
"That better be it." The nurse says on her way out.
"Alright, that's it. I'm done. Goodnight!" Y/n says, pulling her blankets up.
"Goodnight Angel. Sleep well." I lean down to kiss her forehead, and start to walk over to the couch, but she grabs my hand.
"Where are you going?"
"The couch."
"Why?"
"Because I'm tired too? Don't you know cats like to sleep a lot?" I tease.
"Yeah, and they also like to cuddle, so here. Cuddle." She says, scooting over and pulling the blankets aside.
I laugh and kick off my boots, then climb in with her.
"You sure this is alright?" I ask.
"Yes, Kitty. I want you to lay here."
"Well thanks for the confirmation on that, but I also meant the nurses might freak."
"Let them freak. I wanna sleep." She says, laying on my chest.
"Wait!" I say, thinking of something.
"What?"
"My super strength! It could hurt you even worse than before!"
"You shouldn't have any nightmares now, the bad thing happened."
"I don't know, maybe this is a bad idea."
"Well hey, you wanna get a sharpie and draw a mask on?" She jokes, but it's actually a good idea.
"That's purrfect! Just a sec, I'm gonna get a pen!" I say, jumping up.
"For real?!"
"Yeah!"
I go out to the nurses station, and ask for a pen.
Once I'm given one I go back to the room and into the bathroom, where I detransform and draw what hopefully looks close enough to mask around my eyes.
"So, how do I look?" I ask, stepping out.
"Purrfect! But what if it wipes off?"
"It shouldn't."
A nurse comes in again, and asks what happened to my clothes
"It's not exactly a comfortable sleeping outfit." I improvise.
"Would you like a gown?"
"Yeah, sure."
The jeans aren't exactly the usual fuzzy pajama bottoms I'm used to.
Though a gown wouldn't be either.
Once it's brought to me I change in the bathroom and get back in the bed.
"Finally!" I say.
"Yeah, jeez. Let's sleep!"
"Agreed." I respond, and give her another kiss.
"Careful, wouldn't want a nurse coming in to bother our slumber." Y/n jokes.
"Ah yes, my bad."
She laughs and holds me tightly.
"I love you."
I feel myself smile widely as I put my arms around her gently.
"I love you too."
The next thing I know, I'm being awakened by a long, drawn out beeping.
