Marinette's P.O.V.

The first thing I notice is my arms wrapped around my long cat body pillow. Usually it would be found on the ground, but for some reason, I had kept it in my bed.

Though I can't remember placing it so.

I breathe in, and a comforting vanilla scented aroma registers in my brain. I sigh, then breathe in again. Snuggling my face into a soft fabric, I reminisce of the previous day.


It had been such a good day.

Yes, I'd been late to school. But I hadn't gotten in trouble. That, and Adrien and I had become partners.

It was a dream come true. We had come back here and had some snack as we watched a movi-

Wait.

My eyes snapped open and I bolted up.

Adrien???

My head snaps back and forth as I look for the blonde, hoping I hadn't slept too long.

"Calm down, Marinette. He's gone; it's the next day."

My blood pressure decreases at the sound of Tikki's voice. It had to be true, Tikki wouldn't be out and about if he were still here.

Was it really the next morning?

I turned to look at Tikki, her face looking smug as she floated in the air.

"What's up with that face?"

"Oh nothing... You have 30 minutes before school so I think you should dress up a bit. I'll pick out your outfit!"

I narrow my eyes at the spotted creature.

"You're up to something... but okay. I'm going to get breakfast." Tikki nods her small head and flies into my closet, leaving it open behind her. I finger my hair, then unplug my phone.

He'd plugged in my phone for me.

I shuffle downstairs and grab a chocolate glaze doughnut from the display for breakfast then sit down at our kitchen table.

"Well you're up early!" My mother says as she walks into the kitchen, carrying a small white bag. She sets the bag down in front of me and smiles. "Give this to the boy you fell asleep on yesterday, he really does seem sweet and he liked the croissants yesterday."

My eyes widen and my throat goes dry. I fell asleep on him.

I fell asleep on Adrien Agreste!

"Mom! What am I going to do?? I- he probably thinks I'm weird and have some kind of infectious disease that makes me fall asleep! He'll never go near me again Mom! Oh- No did I drool on him????" I slap my hands to my face and cover my eyes.

"Marinette calm down. Trust me, he doesn't think you have some infectious disease. He seemed quite happy with you snuggled up against him for nearly four hours. So comfy, he even fell asleep too." she finishes with a wink.

I let out an inhuman noise and slam my head on the table.

"Oh Marinette, none of that now. Finish your breakfast and get dressed. I won't have you late again even though you woke up early!"

I nod my head then finish my doughnut. Shuffling back upstairs, I find Tikki laying out a heart necklace.

"Oh! Marinette! Here, put these and this on." She zips away from the outfit and smiles.

I dress myself in the outfit Tikki set out for me without really looking at it before now. After ten minutes, Tikki had curled my hair and clasped on a pretty silver necklace.
