Adrien woke up before Marinette and stared down at her. He couldn't believe the way his life had changed over the last couple of months. This sweet girl wanted him, had fallen in love with him and he was falling head over heels in love with her. The only fear was that he couldn't give her everything whilst he was still in love with Ladybug.

As much as he tried to move on by devoting himself to Marinette, he just couldn't devote it all. As he felt settled in her warmth, Marinette began stirring in her sleep. A smile appeared on her lips, he could tell she was dreaming and couldn't help but wonder what about. His question was answered within seconds of his thought.

"Oh, Chat!" She said in her sleep, Plagg and Tikki, who were hiding at the bottom of the bed, face palmed. This was not the way the reveal was meant to go.

"Kitty, that's so good." She began to rub herself onto Adrien. He lay there shocked. She was having a not so innocent dream about his alter ego.

Tikki and Plagg needed to stop her before she said anything too revealing in her sleep. Tikki went under the covers and started to tickle her feet.

Marinette jolted awake, sitting up with Adrien's sheets firmly wrapped around her bare chest.

"What the hell? Did you tickle my feet?" She asked Adrien.

"No! Perhaps it was happening in your dream?"

"Was ... was I-I talking in my sleep?" She stuttered putting her hand on her forehead. "Hopefully it wasn't too embarrassing." He let out a chuckle.

"Don't worry. Nothing to be embarrassed about." He lent over to pick up his phone, checking the time. 10:30am, he'd never been allowed to lay in this late before.

"Do you want something for breakfast? I can get it sent up to us and stay in bed all day, or if you want we can go out?" Sitting up next to her, he lent down and kissed her bare shoulder.

She melted into him as soon as his lips brushed her skin. Every nerve in her body began to feel like it was on fire. His touch had ignited feelings before, but this time it was excruciating, it was like fire was literally coursing through her veins. She began to heat up feeling uncomfortable like she had a fever.

"I'm sorry, Adrien, but I'm suddenly not feeling too great."

Adrien placed his hand on Marinette's forehead and pulled it away quickly.

"I'll go and get you some ice water. Do you think you can make it to the shower?"

"I think so. I feel so hot, Adrien. What's wrong with me? I felt fine last night." Adrien grabbed her scalding hands, flinching a little at the touch.

"You're going to be ok, I'm not going to let anything happen to you. I'll see if I can find any medicines while I get you a drink."

Adrien swung his legs over the side and got out of bed. He was still naked and Marinette took a quick peak as he pulled on his sweatpants.

"I'll be quick, take a cool shower to try and get your temperature down."

As soon as Adrien shut the door Marinette made her way into the en-suite with Adrien's sheets still wrapped around her bare body. Every step burned and she was constantly taking deep breathes to push through the pain. She placed the shower on cold and stepped in. As the water hit her body it literally sizzled on her skin, and she screamed in pain. Tikki came quickly to her holders aid.

"Mari, look at me. You're going to be ok. You just need to transform."

Her back slid down the shower tiles and she huddled on the floor bringing her knees in close. She started to cry.

"Am I dying?" She mumbled out. Plagg came in laughing.

"Plagg, stop!" Tikki scolded.

"You see pigtails, you're about to go through a major upgrade and as you're the most powerful Ladybug we've ever seen, plus madly in love with your cat and the Guardian. Well ... I can't wait to see you on the other side."

"Is that true, Tikki? Will I change?"

"Don't panic, Marinette. You'll be ok, you just really need to transform for the upgrade to finish."

"I really, really don't feel ok. Adrien's going to think it was to do with last night."

"It kind of is ..." Plagg joined back into the conversation. "You see, when you two you know what last night, you gave your heart to him and he accepted it. The power of love is the strongest power for the Ladybug and the Cat Miraculous holders. It can't just be an ordinary love though, we're talking next level, 2 month old Camembert ..."

Plagg was cut off by Adrien's return to the room.

"Mari, are you ok? Would it be ok to come in to you?"

"Yes, Adrien." Marinette responded before let out another scream.

Adrien ran to her side cuddling her into his chest as she rocked backwards and forwards, tears streaming down her face. He didn't care that the cold water was soaking through him, he needed to take care of his girlfriend who seemed to be in tremendous pain.

"Can you take me to my dorm, please?"

"Of course. Do you want me to stay with you when I get you back?" Clinging onto him she was desperate to say yes, but the words wouldn't appear.

"I-I ..." she let out a groan again, clutching onto her head. "Please just take me back."

Adrien helped Marinette out of the shower. She was still scalding hot and in pain. She just wanted to get home. He spoke to Nathalie and managed to get some of the Agreste Sportswear for Marinette to go home in. As shocked as Nathalie was about Marinette's stopping over, she actually looked genuinely happy for Adrien.

When they arrived back at the university, Adrien carried Marinette up to her dorm much to her dismay. She buried her head into his chest keeping her eyes closed tightly. Knocking on the door Nino answered.

"Oh, shit! Alya!" Alya came running out of her bedroom and over to Marinette.

"What did you do to her, Agreste?" Adrien looked guilty. He'd been thinking the same all morning.

"Shout at me later, but we need to get her to rest."

Walking into her pink accessorised room, Adrien placed her onto her bed.

"Please everyone, just let me sleep. Come back and see me in a couple of hours." Marinette muttered clutching onto her still throbbing head.

"I'm not leaving you, Mari." Adrien sat next to her on the bed stroking her hand.

"Please Adrien, just a couple of hours."

"I suppose I could go and do some work and then come back, I'm only giving you 45 minutes though. You will call me if you need me."

"Of course I will, lover boy." Marinette did her best Dirty Dancing impression and then grimaced with the pain.

"I don't think it's the time for jokes, dudette." Responded Nino.

"We'll stay here incase she needs us." Alya said putting her hand on Adrien's bicep.

He bent down and kissed Marinette's insanely hot forehead again before shutting the door and leaving. Tikki flew out of Marinette's bag and locked the door silently.

"Come on Pigtails, I won't have long until he realises I'm not with him and I want to see this."

Tikki glared at Plagg before going to kiss Marinette on the cheek.

"I'm with you all the way."

Struggling, she held onto her dresser and pulled herself to her feet.

"Well here goes nothing. Tikki! Spots on!"

As she called her transformation the burning pains ceased and a new feeling over took her. Her body felt light and yet surprisingly strong. She looked at her arms and noticed something new about her amour. Her usual red and black spots had changed. There were intricate gold patterns between the black dots linking them together. She held up her yo-yo and noticed the same pattern.

"Woah! I love it."

"How do you feel?" Plagg looked like the cat that got the cream.

"I feel incredible! There's so much going on in my head, it's like a theme park." As Ladybug turned around she noticed something else new on her back.

"You've grown wings!" Plagg exclaimed, she wished Tikki was here to see the excitement on this little kwami's face.

While studying her yo-yo she felt something.

"Plagg, Adrien's looking for you." Marinette looked into the eyes of the kwami. "He's really worried." She could sense the emotions running through Adrien. "You best go. Thank you for staying with me." She bent down and gave him a rub behind the ears.

"You're a great Ladybug, I can see why the kid is falling in love with you."

"Thank you, Plagg." She kept her transformation up until she felt Adrien's worry go. She then had the feeling of anger, oh dear, she smirked to herself Plagg's in trouble. She called off her transformation and caught Tikki in her hands, feeding the little kwami a cookie and explaining everything.

She felt amazing!
