Lady of my dreams

14|| I'll take care of you

"He'll be asleep for a while," Aspik says.

He and Marinette pulled Chat Noir out of the public eye and back to her house. He was still unconscious but, it was better for Marinette to take care of him beside anyone else.

"What if he de-transforms?" Marinette shakily asks.

"Uhm..." Aspik began to look through Marinette's closet, "Do you have any oversized sweatshirts? Uhm- Costume masks?"

"Y-yeah, masks are in the chest over there. I- I don't know about the sweaters..." Marinette stuttered, it was still hard for her to speak to Aspik knowing he was Adrien.

"I still can't believe you're Multimouse." He lied.

"And that's supposed to mean what?" Marinette snarked.

"Nothing, nothing... How long would it take you to make a sweatshirt for him?"

"An hour, maybe less." She answered.

Aspik climbed up to her bed and threw down his cat ring.

"What the fuck are you doing?!" Marinette blurted, "Put it back on him!"

"I'm not looking at his face, Mari. I'm putting the mask on him so you won't be able to tell who he is."

"Have you done this before?"

"Yeah, Chat and I are great friends in my timeline. I've seen him plastered drunk, it's not that different." Aspik lied while taking care of his past self, "Uhm, make some cat ears while you at it."

"Cat ears? Isn't that a bit too much?"

Aspik chuckled, "Nah. Bastard deserves it."

"Don't talk about him like that!" The blue-haired girl shouted.

Aspik jumped in front of her from the ladder, "Why? You got a crush on him or something, Mari?"

"Yeah, do you, pigtails?" Plagg snickered.

"You can stop calling me that. I haven't worn my hair in pigtails in two years."

"Scales rest."

Marinette got red in the face. Adrien was standing in the middle of her room next to Plagg and Chat Noir. It was like her worst nightmares all bundled up into one sick dream.

"If you like him, tell him. He's an idiot for you." Adrien says.

"I- I know he is..."

"And it seems you like him a lot. I mean, you did reveal your identity to me so we could bring him here."

"Chat is... Look, shouldn't Bunnyx be here to pick you up now?"

A burrow opened right in front of them, "At your call, Marinette."

"Thank you." The girl sighed.

Adrien walked over and gently kissed Marinette's forehead, "Take care, Mari."

She didn't know what to say, Adrien's kiss felt weirdly familiar but, it wasn't what she expected at all.

The two disappeared through the portal and the room was now completely quiet, "Cheese?" Marinette asked.

"Thanks, pigtails. I'm going to sit by Chat — make sure he's alright."

Marinette quietly tiptoed downstairs, she didn't want her parents to wake up since it was already close to midnight.

"Here, Plagg." He flew down from the bed and smiled.

"Thank you, pigtails."

"No problem." Marinette sat at her desk and began making his sweater and cat ears. She was still in shock by everything that just happened with Adrien. It didn't seem real but she knew things would be somewhat different with her and Adrien in his timeline. But, Adrien kissed her on the forehead which wasn't something that seemed very... friendly.
