Merry Christmas Marinette

Someone's tired

Hi! Please don't kill me! I'd be surprised if anyone is still following this story but for those people if you exist, I edited the last chapter to move the story along. They're only slight changes but could make all the difference. Sorry this chapter is short but I'm trying to get back into it! And as always any comments will be much appreciated. Thank you for sticking around, Maia xox.

Marinette sits and think for a second before choosing, "Dare, because everyone's chosen truth."

Nino could not look happier and I could not be more concerned. What is he up to?

" I dare you to sit on the lap of your favourite person sitting next you until your next turn."

Marinette looks to her right and sees Chloe. A look of disgust appears on her face. She then looks to her left and our eyes meet. Oh wow, thanks Nino. She's not going to want to sit on me I feel so sorry for her! She hesitantly stands up and sits down on my lap, rigid at first but relaxes after a while to lean into my chest.

Everyone except Chloe are smiling at each other.

"Okay uh Juleka truth or dare?", Marinette asks. This continues for a while and nobody has chosen Marinette. I start to feel her shivering I get concerned as she had dropped her blanket to come sit on me. I ask her if she's ok and she just nods. I put my arms around her to try and keep her a bit warmer but claim it's 'more comfortable'. I try to focus my attention on the game but I keep worrying about Marinette.

After about five minutes Marinette was fast asleep against me, huddled in a ball. She was still shivering but apart from that, looked quite peaceful. I look around for a blanket but the closest one is too far for me to reach. No one seems to have noticed Marinette's condition and she didn't want anyone to know about it but I need to get her warmer.

"Hey Nino.", I whisper.

He turns around and a wide grin spreads across his face.

"Can you pass that blanket." I ask, ignoring his grin while pointing at the blanket.

"Sure.", he replies and passes the blanket. I drape it across Marinette and myself, hopefully she wakes up soon.

Fifteen minutes later the game is over. Everyone starts to stand up and find places to set up their blankets. What am I supposed to do? Attempt to wake her up or just try to act natural? She really didn't seem to want anyone to know so I slowly shake her shoulders. She doesn't wake but snuggles into me more. A feel a blush spread across my face as she nuzzles her face into my chest. I also hear laughter. I look up to see Alya and Nino try to contain their giggles.

"Hey! She's not waking up." I say. An unsure look appears on their faces. Alya finally says, "Look she hasn't been getting much sleep lately just leave her for now. Maybe wake her up in twenty minutes."

I agree but I'm worried. What if we can't wake her up?
