Here ya go Wattpad readers... as promised!
Marinette woke up with a gasp. It was too hot.
Where was she? One moment she was out in the blizzard and in the next, she was in an extremely elegant room. She looked around.
The room was extremely well-furnished and was even bigger than Adrien's bedroom. Marinette threw off the heavy blankets that were wrapped around her and stumbled. She started making her way to the door but fell. Her legs were shaking badly.
Just then the door opened. Marinette's vision blurred as she looked up.
"Adrien?" She whispered, her voice trembling.
So-called-Adrien shook his head. He picked her up bridal style and set her down of the bed once more.
"How are you feeling, Miss Ladybug?"
That voice definitely didn't belong to Adrien. It was much more soothing and elegant. Marinette closed her eyes for a bit and then opened them. "I'm burning up," she replied. At this, the man put his cool hand on her forehead. Marinette soaked in the soothing feeling that came with it.
She slowly opened her eyes. Thankfully, her vision had cleared. Looking closer at her savior, he had forest green eyes instead of emerald green. His eyes also included little specs of grey and gold. This was definitely not Adrien.
The man must have seen the confusion on her face. He sighed as he took his hand off her forehead and started combing his pale blond hair with his fingers. "I suppose you don't remember me. I'm Adrien's cousin, Felix."
Marinette's eyes widened in recognition.
"Why did you save me? The last we met, you were working with Hawkmoth, if I'm correct." Felix nodded.
"Yes, those weren't the greatest circumstances, but I had my own reasons. I hope you don't think I have ulterior motives Miss Ladybug. I no longer associate myself with the villain of Paris."
"Even so, you now know my identity, or at least how I look like," she said accusingly.
Felix gave a long stare and she couldn't help but notice that he had inherited good looks from the Agreste bloodline. "Believe what you want Miss, but I have people I care about in this city. Think of me saving your life as my duty as a Parisian." Felix said, a bit angrily, but with a tone of understanding.
Marinette sighed, already tired with this conversation. "For now, Mr. Graham de Vanily." Felix flinched at the name.
"Don't refer me as Mr. Graham de Vanily." Felix whispered harshly. Marinette flinched as an uncomfortable silence took place.
He spoke after a few tense seconds. "Anyway, you are free to stay here until you recover. The city is still frozen and the news shows that Stormy Weather is still looking for both you and Cat Noir."
Marinette let out a sigh of relief. "I see. Thanks. For doing your duty as a... Parisian."
Felix smirked then nodded. Marinette couldn't help but blush at the sight. Why did handsome faces always get her?
Felix started making his way to the door but stopped as he was about to step out. Marinette raised her eyebrows as she waited for him to leave. "Um... your bug thing is in the kitchen. She said she'd come up when she was recharged?" He said unsure if he sounded like an idiot. Marinette nodded.
"Also, when you leave, leave from the window. No one in this place knows your here except for me." And with that Felix left the room, leaving Marinette to ponder over her thoughts.
