"Marinette I didn't– It was an accident." I lean down and grab her hands and help her stand up. She stumbles so I wrap her arm around shoulders and hold her up.

"It's okay, really. I guess we can both be to blame. I was picking my pencil up the same time you opened the door. It's no ones fault." She says. She gives me a soft smile. But after a few minutes she takes her hand back up to her forehead and holds it there.

"Why don't I take you to the hospital." I tell her. I look behind Marinette and see Alya and Nino talking in a hushed tone. I raise an eye brow and she winks
What even.

"Oh you don't have to I can have my parents–"

"No, no I insist. Nino help me get her in the car." I pick her up bridal style and Nino opens the passenger side door and I slide her in.

"Adrien you really don't have to take me to the hospital. It's a minor bruise at most." I close the door and turn to the two.

"I'll call you guys later." They murmur a yeah and a good luck and I get into the car.

"Adrien I'm serious. It's not a big deal."

"Oh Princess, it's a big deal. You could have like a concussion or something. You need to get it checked out." I tell her and pull out of the parking lot.

When I get to a red light I send a text to Nathalie telling her I won't be able to make the photo shoot. And of course I get a string of text demanding I be there.

"Your phones really blowing up there, is there a problem?" Marinette asks and I spare a glance at her.

I chuckle. "Everything's fine. But my fathers assistant is just a little frustrated because I told her I wouldn't make it to my shoot today." I smile at her and then stare back at the road.

"Your father is an amazing fashion designer." She says quietly. "I kinda started designing clothes because of him."

"Oh really? Hm well maybe I could see if you could shadow him for a day. But I must warn you. He is a python." I joke.

The hospital comes into view and I pull into the lot and park.

She starts to unbuckle her seat belt so I rush out of the car to open the door for her.

I grab her hand and help her out of the car. And she starts giggling.

"Oh my knight in shining armor." She jokes still giggling. She's cute when she smiles. And giggles for that matter. I mentally shake my head at the thought and decided to play along.

I get on my knee and bow my head, "It is only my duty as a knight to escort the Princess, Princesses." I look up at her a give a smirky smile.

She laughs harder. "You're such a dork."

I fake gasp, "My Princess you wound me." I put my hand on my chest and jokingly stumble a few steps back. She laughs hard enough that she puts her hands on her knees.

"Adrien! S-stop I-I'm gonna pe-pee!"

Her laugh truly is the best sound in the world.
