Out of all the things that could've happened it just had to be this.

Ladybug thought as she sat in pain staring at a petrified Adrien.

--------------------------------------
~earlier~
"Where is that cat!" Ladybug said to herself as she barely dodged the akumas attacks.

"Stop running away!" The akuma yelled blasting an attack through her waist.

Ladybug gritted her teeth. She refused to scream. Even though it hurt like hell.

"Lucky charm!" She yelled as an object fell down to her arms.

The pain didn't matter. What mattered was that she defeated the akuma and saved all these innocent people.
-----------------------------------
At the end of the day everyone was safe  and no one got hurt. Well everyone except her. Even though she purified everything the huge gash on her waist was still there.

She found an alleyway to hide in just in case her transformation wore off. She was safe there until a certain classmate heard a whimper coming from the alleyway.

~present~

Out of all the things that could've happened it just had to be this.

She looked at Adrien. It looked like he was in more pain.

"Ladybug..."Adrien frowned.

"What happened?" He said as a tear strolled down his face.

"Nothing major.." She said obviously lying.

"Nothing major!" He shouted as he took out a first aid kit from his bag.

"Lucky for you l have some experience in this." He said as he began to disinfect the wound.

She giggled but, that once again turned into her gritting her teeth.

"I appreciate..the help but I can patch myself up. I've done it before and I can do it now." She said looking away.

He froze. How many times has she been deeply wounded like this. Has it only been the times that I don't show up to a battle.

He didn't listen to her. Adrien continued to patch her up. She sighed.

A beep was heard.

Oh just great. Ladybug thought.

Adrien didn't know what to do. He couldn't leave her here but, her identity...

"It'll be alright. Just close your eyes and I'll quickly leave...simple." She was lying. It wasn't gonna be that simple.

"I wanna do that but, your wound.." He said.

"I-I'm fine.." She said as she passed out. Most likely due to all her blood loss. Thanks to Adrien the bleeding stopped.

He instantly grabbed her. Looking at her face.

"Ladybug!" Ladybug!!" He shouted not to loud. He checked her pulse. She was alive but her pulse was very slow.

Suddenly he heard a final beep and quickly closed his eyes.

Don't open them! Don't open them! He kept chanting in his head but, the temptation was to strong. He couldn't help her with his eyes closed.

"P-princess..." He whispered looking at her body which was completely covered in cuts and bruises.

He proceeded to transform. If Chat couldn't help her then. He's definitely gonna protect her now. He gently carried her bridal style ( wink wonk) and took her home. He took notice that she was surprisingly very light.

-------------------------------

Marinette woke up.

She realized that she wasn't in the alleyway but, in her room?

She looked over to see a certain stray cat staring directly at her. Wait!

I was only in that alleyway with Adrien does that mean chat noir is..

"Adrien..." She said shakily.

"Yes, princess." He grinned knowing she was alright.

"So you're Chat noir. Pretty ironic." She said realizing all the similarities between them.

"I knew she was near but, I never would've guessed that she was this close to me." He said smiling as his transformation wore off. She gave a soft giggle. Knowing Adrien his heart melted at that giggle.

"So how are you feeling?" He asked timidly.

She got herself to sit straight up.

"I'm feeling much better thank you.." She smiled.

He got up and proceeded to sit next to her. He rested his head on her shoulder. Which obviously caused Marinette to furiously blush.

"That's a relief..please don't scare me like that ever again." He said. He was an inch close to crying.

"I'm sorry but, I can't promise that." She said shyly.

He quickly turned his head to look directly at her.

"Why not!" He yelled.

"Who knows what'll happen in the future! I'd rather tell you the truth then make a promise I wouldn't be able to keep." She shouted.

She was right. He just didn't want her to get hurt but, they're superheros so, that's to be expected.

"Fine.." He frowned.

"Atleast promise me that you'll take good care of yourself when I'm not around.."he sighed.

"What do you mean by that." She asked very confused.

"When I carried you home you were really light." He was gonna continue until Marinette cut him off.

"Wait you carried me home!" She exclaimed.

"Yes and-wait that's not my point!" He yelled.

"I'm just asking are you eating enough." He asked worriedly.

She burst out laughing.

"I'm sorry..haha..it's just that I've been eating healthier..hahaha..and dieting no need to worry." She managed to get that out.

He felt really embarrassed. Although he was glad that she was alright he couldn't help but feel red.

"Jeez it's not a big deal.." He pouted.

She continued laughing.

He mumbled something she couldn't hear.

"Sorry what was that.."

Once again he mumbled something she couldn't quite understand.

"What?"

"I LOVE YOU!" He shouted.

"What-why are you bringing that up all of a sudden!" She was now really embarrassed.

"See how it feels to be embarrassed." He smirked.

All to well. She thought.

He noticed the sad expression on her face and gently kissed her cheek.

She was so shocked on the sudden act that she quickly moved away.

Does she not feel the same. Oh no did I screw up.

She saw his face now deep in thought.

"Adrien."

No answer.

"Adrien!"

Nada.

To pull him out of his trance she kissed him on the lips. He was now fully back into the zone.

Adrien cupped her cheeks and kissed back.

They pulled away for air.

"Remember something for me." He said.

"What is it?"

"No matter what I'll always love you." He smirked.

"I love you too you big dork." She smiled.
