It been a long day for Marinette so she decided to close the bakery a little earlier than usual, the three boys was also called for a surprise photoshoot with the Agreste...they hate them but can't refuse, she understood that and gave them pastries to take home, a little thanks for helping her out.

Emilie—rather Rielle was temporarily staying with her for the time being, definitely not because she loved his company, after being ignored by her own parents after they sided with Lila—definitely not...

Marinette decided to take a long bath after days of being stressed, forgetting all about dinner—until she came out of the bathroom hungry, luckily for her Rielle was there and cooked a nice, warm meal for her, the action almost made her cry...she never received parental love after her parents sided with Lila...which was already years ago.

She felt grateful for the company and warmth Rielle provided.

It was currently midnight, Marinette couldn't sleep so she decided to start brainstorming for new designs, in middle of it though she was interrupted by Rielle who had made her tea.

"Care for some tea?" He knocked softly on her wall, holding two cups of chamomile tea.

Marinette nodded, and drank tea with him.

She suddenly felt exhausted and tired after drinking it, the tea helped her relax...a bit too much.

Rielle helped her to get to her bed, tucking her in while cooing her to sleep, his warm voice sounding like a lullaby to her as she starts to doze off...

"When are we supposed to reveal ourselves?" A hooded figure huffed, grumbling as he continues to complain.

"Not yet..." Another figure whispered softly, then he suddenly looks up.

"Soon..." He mumbled softly, throwing away the head he had just cut off.

"Hey..! Don't throw that thing near me, you almost stained my cloak!" The hooded figure grumbled, clearly annoyed.

Rielle watched the blunette sleep peacefully,  carefully caressing her face...she looked like her...his dear friend...

His fingers trail from her cheek to her neck...he still remembers it vividly...his friend's dead body...

His fingers pressed on Marinette's neck gently, but it made her groan in her sleep, making him snap out of it.

He pulled away and sighed softly, rubbing his temples. What the hell was he about to do...

Marinette is dreaming again...she stood in the corner, watching a red headed man cradle her dead body in his arms, his tears falling on her cold cheeks.

This emotional man is her savior.

The scene switches, showing her the ridicules amount of studied the man did to revive her, it went from scientific studies to witchcraft to miraculi.

Exhaustion was obvious on the man's face but he didn't give up, guilt eating him away.

Rielle watched as Marinette groans in her sleep, cold sweat started forming on her forehead. He leaned down and worriedly wiped her sweat, is she having a nightmare..?
