Marinettes pov:
As I open my eyes it's still dark out, I can't see anything so I reach across to chat only to find he isn't there.
Oh right, he won't be back till around 3, I think to myself. I'm really thirsty so I decide to get up and get a drink, as I'm fumbling for the light I knock chats bedside clock off the table. "Shit," I mutter to myself.
As I'm reaching around under the bed for it blindly, I feel what seems like a photo frame? I bring it up, and turn on the bedside light finally, to see in the frame. It's a photo of chat and a red haired boy. It's really clean still, so I'm guessing it's been under there maybe around a month or two.
As I gain all my senses back I recognise the red haired boy in the photo. He goes to my school and is in my class! "Nathaniel?" I squeak, my throat instantly dry. I run off to get a drink, and after, I come back upstairs.
I've returned the clock to it's normal position and it reads 2:36am. Chat should be back around 3.
As I flick off the light again i wait for chat, and while doing so, slowly start to drift off again. This time to the unsettled thoughts of my classmate knowing chat noir and the horrible things he's done.

Adriens pov:
It's 30 minutes past 3 when me and Kim get back.
Sliding the key in the door, it unlocks and we walk inside. "Wanna catch a movie?" Kim asks me walking to the couch, "not tonight I gotta get up for school in 4 hours." I sigh.
"your loss adrien." Kim says switching the tv on.
I walk up the stairs slowly and open the door to where marinette is sleeping calmly on the bed. I stand there for a minute, the light from the hallway leaking into the room, lighting up the sleeping girl in my bed. She starts to stir and I close the door, blocking out the light disturbing her. I'm still wearing this stupid black mask, and I know I have to tell her who I am sooner or later. I sigh as take off my shirt and leave on my sweat pants, if she said yes to trying tonight, I trust she would accept me as adrien. In my head it's all I'm hoping for. I get into the dark bed and sit on something hard, "ouch," I say, moving too quickly, waking up marinette. "chat, your back already." I hear marinette squeak. I'm rubbing my now sore back where the corner of something hard dug into me, "sorry princess, I didn't mean to wake you," I reply.
"It's okay," she giggles, "I'm sorry chat, I knocked your clock off under the bed and I found that." She says as I turn the side lamp on. It's a picture of me and Nathaniel, "shit," I say as I realise that she also knows who he is. "Your friends with a boy in my class..." she says slowly still laying on her side, I pick up the photo again and lean against the head of the bed, closing  my eyes.
"We were friends." I say feeling marinette move towards me, and as I open my eyes she's in the same position next to me. "Are you not friends anymore?" Her question hits me in my stomach, bringing back old emotions, "not since he betrayed me and tried to get me killed." She leans her head on my shoulder, and with a groan of protest from the bed I grab marinettes waist and pull her onto my lap, "you know, every time I see you marinette, I feel a little more hopeful. Like life isn't as dull as it seems." I look down at her, and she's looking at me. Such piercing blue eyes, so strong and I find I have to close mine. "Me and Nathaniel were the closest of friends mari, but we both loved the same girl." I look back at her and smile, her face is turning red, "me?" She asks, "yes," I wrap my arms around her back and she leans into my chest.
"So what happened?".
