It had been two hours since the power got out and Adrien and Marinette had just finished their fourth round of poker. It started to get a little chilly in the room, not cold but they felt that the temperature had gone down a few degrees. 

"Are you cold?" Marinette asks Adrien and looked at his clothes. He had his usual clothes with shirt, t-shirt and jeans. 

"Not yet but I can feel that it's getting colder in here. You?"

"I'm not cold yet either but we might need to look at some clothes for you. If you didn't bring any more with you?"

"No, I hadn't planned to actually sleep here." Adrien scratched his neck and Marinette saw that he was uncomfortable.

"What's wrong?"

"It's just that I've never slept at someone else's house before."

"Not even at Nino's?"

Adrien laughed.  "No. You know that Nino and Alya always spend the weekends together. Either him at her place or vice versa."

"Yeah, I know." Marinette sighed because she knew exactly what they were doing on the weekends.

Marinette had never been with a boy, not even kissed one. How could she? She had been in love with Adrien all these years. Well, she had kissed Chat Noir at one point. But that was to get him back from Dark Cupid's spell. Now Marinette started to think about Chat. She hoped that he was lying in a comfortable bed and that he's not out on the streets patrolling.

"What are you thinking about?" Adrien looked at Marinette.

"Who? Me?" Marinette woke up from her thoughts.

Adrien laughed. Oh my god, his laugh! Marinette loved that sound.

"Yeah you, I can't see someone else here. Do you?

"Ha ha ha, really funny! Indeed!

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help it! But what were you thinking about? You eyes changed from amused to worried in a few seconds. And you got a gentle look too.

"How observant of you Mr Agreste."

"Yes, that's my middle name!"

They laughed together this time.

"I was thinking about Ladybug and Chat Noir." 

She felt that Adrien jumped a little, it were almost not noticeable but she noticed. Why did he do that?

"Why are you thinking about them?" 

"I really hope that they not are out there in the blizzard."

"Yeah, we can surely hope so!"

Marinette shivered, she started to get a little cold now.

"No, we need to get you some warmer clothes." Marinette stood up and walked to the closet.

"Can't we just take your quilt and wrap it around us?"

Marinette just stood there and glared into the closet door. It felt like an eternity before she found her way back to reality again. So she took a sweep and scratched her head while at the same time she was blushing and tried to make everything look normal.

"Of... Of course, I'll get it." Marinette swallowed.

She climbed up the ladder to her bed  to pick up the quilt. But when she turned around she saw that Adrien had follow her up.
