What Are We? (Miraculous Ladybug)

Chapter IX || Why

Chapter IX
Why

Marinette

My heart was beating fast as his hot breath against my neck sent chills down my spine.
(lol was this too much detail? xD)

I would've tried pushing him away but I didn't even have the strength to pull back my arms. It was frustrating.

I was sick with a bad cold and I was weak. I couldn't do anything else except to speak up.

And I was cold, really cold. I thought to myself about how I might have gotten frostbite if it weren't for Chat saving me.

Heh. Frostbite.

Sigh.

But feeling cold and all, I would have been absolutely freezing if it weren't for Chat's warm embrace.

I could sleep this way. Well, actually, no. I sort of feel uncomfortable in this position. But if I break free of him, not even my comforter would warm me enough.

Okay, was that sounding a little weird?

"Ch-Chat.." I whispered faintly.

He pulled back slightly, and looked at me straight in the eye with concern, "Yes, Princess?" Princess huh..

"I.. I need to sleep." I told him, as my eyes began to droop. "Oh! Sorry." he said, before letting me go.

He gently put me down, as so that my head was resting on my pillow, then he pulled the blankets up to my neck.

He got off from my bed and stood up, heading to the roof. "Then, I'll be go--"
"Wait, don't go.." I managed to say.

He turned to me, "Sorry, what?" he asked. I looked down on my blanket, "Don't go.."

He gave me a faint smile, then approached me again. "My work here's done, Mari." he said, giving me a gentle smile.

I took hold of his hand, "Please.." I begged, pulling him closer as strong as I could muster.

He sighed, "Mari.." he trailed off, before removing my hand off his.

He leaned down close to me, and smiled. Then he gave me a peck on my forehead, "Get well soon." he whispered, before giving me another smile.

I furrowed my eyebrows then pulled him down next to me before he could get back up. "H-Hey! Marinette!"

I pulled the covers on both of us, then scooted closer to him. "Hmph!" He looked at me as we both laid down next to each other. His shocked expression instantly turned into a malicious one.

"Oho, you aren't inviting me, are you, Princess?" he said with a devious grin. I put out my tongue at him, "What are you talking about?! I'm sick, genius!" I spat.

He smirked, "Ah, seriously." he said, before putting an arm around me. I looked up at him in surprise, and he raised an eyebrow at me, "I'm here already, okay?"

He placed my head on his chest, "So sleep, please." he whispered, stroking my hair with his fingers, instantly soothing me.

Please, just please.
