I SWEAR I DID NOT PLAN FOR THE PROMPTS TO ALIGN LIKE THIS. This is hysterical.                                                                                                                       -Colorado

Ladybug fell face first onto Adrien's bed. Akumas were exhausting. Especially when you couldn't rely on anyone but yourself. Chat Noir had been captured and she couldn't get the miraculouses of any other holder, so it was up to her. Things had turned out alright, but she was ready for a nap.

Adrien was in the shower when she got there, and she didn't feel like interrupting it. Because 1. she didn't want to see something she wasn't supposed to, 2. she knew how much he loved showering and didn't feel like stopping it, and 3. she honestly couldn't be bothered.

All she wanted to do was nap.

"Adrien, I'm out here." She called and she heard him yell back and turn off the shower.

"Hey LB, are you okay?" She heard him come out of the bathroom. A quick glance told her that his hair was already magically dried and he was fully dressed.

"I'm tired." She groaned.

"Yeah, I heard about the akuma attack on the news. Are you alright?" Adrien sat down at the foot of his bed, and rubbed her back.

"Physically fine."

"What about emotionally?"

"Just get over here," Ladybug grabbed his arm and dragged him down to the bed. "I want to nap."

"Okay." Adrien chuckled, his arms circled her as he kissed her forehead. "But only for about an hour. We've got plans tonight, remember?"

"Plans?" Ladybug asked groggily, sleep just about to claim her.

"We'll talk about them later." Adrien promised. "Just nap for now, I know how rough that fight was."

Ladybug nodded, drifting off into a sweet sleep.

She woke up to a sore arm and a muttering boyfriend. She was confused for a split moment, before the memories of the afternoon hit her like a truck. The exhausting akuma fight, losing Chat Noir, the fight going on for over an hour, and finally falling asleep at Adrien's house.

"I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you, Ladybug." Adrien was saying. "I know how much you hate it whenever I sacrifice myself for you."

Ladybug knew she should probably stop him to prevent him from talking more. For some reason, alarm bells were going off in her head. She felt like she shouldn't be listening, but she was too tired to figure out why.

"And I promise, I'm trying to do it less for your sake, but sometimes it's necessary. I can't lose you, Ladybug. I love you too much to take the risk of you being gone. I can't lose you, too." Adrien continued.

'I love you, too, Adrien. But what do you mean about sacrificing yourself?' Sure, he had saved her once or twice from akuma attacks, but that didn't seem to be what he was talking about.

"You're the love of my life, Ladybug. And it's an absolute honor to not only be your partner, but your boyfriend as well. I hope one day I'll be able to share both sides of my life with you. Now get some rest, my lady." Adrien gave her another kiss on her head, before leaving. She could feel his weight leave the bed, and held back a complaint.
