Merry Christmas Marinette

Deal

Hey! Another chapter a week later, who am I? There's nothing much to say except please comment and vote. I hope you enjoy, Maia xox.

It's been twenty minutes and she still hasn't woken up but she's stopped shivering. I'm really worried now though because she's been asleep for quite a while. I shake her shoulders again, nothing. I pinch her, nothing. What do I do? I have one idea but... oh well.

"Hey Nino. Can you pass me my water bottle?"

He hands me my bottle and I unscrew the lid. Great we are both gonna get wet. I pour the water over us. Marinette's head pops up and knocks into my nose. I yell in surprise and pain.

"Oh my god Adrien are you okay? I am so sorry!"

I just hold my nose and mumble reassurance.

"We need to get you to the nurse. He should still be here because of the snow.", Marinette instructs, helping me stand up,

"Nino, Alya I'm going to get Adrien to the nurse. I don't know when we'll get back."

They just nod and continue with their conversation.

We walk the halls in silence. Marinette guides me, my eyes watering. When we get to the nurse's office there is no one there.

"That sucks. Oh well, have a seat." Marinette says, pointing at the bed. Confused, I take a seat. I look up to see Marinette getting the first aid kit.

"Head up."

I do as she says.

"Hand off."

She starts removing the blood from my face. She is biting her lips and is fully focused at the job at hand. Once she's cleaned the blood she gets an ice pack from the freezer and wrap it in a towel. She places it gingerly on my nose before starting to clean up.

"How do you know how to do this?" I finally ask.

"Oh well I get injured a lot from ... being so clumsy."

That doesn't seem right she doesn't fall that often. Thinking back I have seen Marinette with a lot of bruises but I don't think she's that clumsy...

"Marinette are you okay?"

She looks up, startled and confused.

"What do you mean?"

"Well you always have bruises. I know your parents are great people... but is there someone else... treating you badly."

Her face soften and she stops packing up to come stand in front of me.

She smiles as she replies, "Thank you for your concern Adrien but believe me when I say nobody is hurting me. I just manage to fall a lot." She says the last part laughing but I'm still unsure. I decide to drop it and focus on another issue.

"There's something else."

"Okay." She says finishing her pack up and putting the first aid kit away.

"You keep falling asleep and you start shivering as soon as it gets a bit cold."

She freezes, then turns with a forced smile on her face, "I just stay up to late and I think I'm getting a cold. It's nothing to stress about, really."

"Marinette you fell asleep and I struggled to wake you up."

She looks down tired and sits next to me, "Look, Adrien. I don't know what's wrong with me. I just get really cold and when I get cold I get sleepy. There's nothing to do about it so don't worry."

"Lie." I say.

"What?" She asks, her eyebrows furrowed.

" I can do something about it. You can have my blanket I'm not even that cold." I lie, already losing feeling in my hands from the temperature. She looks unsure but slowly nods, "As long as you don't tell anyone."

"Deal." I reply, holding out my hand.

"Deal." She agrees, shaking my outstretched hand.
