The New Guardian

La Tension

Previously: I laugh, "Of course you can. Just don't hog all my blankets!"

Adrien fake pouts, "But, princess! I'll be so cold without them all!" He says laughing, then jumping a little.

Did he just call me princess? There's no way... The door pushes open with the nurse and Luka returning to give me my stitches again. I forget everything else when she pulls the needle out. I feel Adrien intertwine our fingers and I turn to him and smile to see him already giving me a sort of melancholy smile back.

~This chapter is in Marinette's and Adrien's POV~ ~THIS CHAPTER HAS SMUT, 18+~

"It'll be okay, Mari," Adrien whispers to me then turns to the nurse, "Excuse me, Miss? Can she get some numbing cream or a little bit of sedative? She's afraid and doesn't want it to hurt."

"She can have both, I'll put the cream on and give her something to fall asleep for a little while so I can do this and her body will adjust to the pain while she's asleep." The nurse says, pulling out a little vile to put in my IV and a little jar of cream.

"Thank you, is she gonna be out long?"

"She could be, but she just woke up so there's no telling. I would suggest telling her what you want to say now if you need to leave soon. She probably won't wake back up before then." She explains, as she adds the sedative to my arm and I immediately start to feel it's effects. She then starts rubbing the cream on the area. It stings as it mixes with the gash, I wince and squeeze my hand to which Adrien squeezes back and the area goes numb.

Luka walks over to us and grabs my free hand. "Marinette, I can't stay much longer, my mom needs help at the house but I'll stay until you go back to sleep. You can do this, it'll only be a second."

"I understand, Luka. It's okay."

I feel my body trying to keep me awake but the drugs are kicking in, clearing my consciousnesses. My body starts feeling limp and fuzzy and I can feel myself giggling.

"I hope you feel better, Mari. I'll try to swing by tonight if I can." Luka says.

"Hehe, okaaayyy. Thaanks yooou!" I exclaim. My eye lids feel heavy and I feel my head dip back as I give into the darkness again.

Luka laughs, grabs her hand and kisses it. Marinette smiles in her sleep and I feel a little jealous. He continues to stare are her as the nurse fixes her stitches up. He rubs her fingers and sets her hand down across her stomach. He turns back to me and says, "Take care of her?"

I nod back at him, "Always." I say, which he nods peacefully at.

"Thank you. I have to go now, it was nice seeing you again. Bye, Adrien." He smiles kindly at me.

"It was nice seeing you again as well. Bye, Luka!" I call quietly back to him as I watch him leave with the nurse right behind him. She turns the light out and closes the door. 

I decide take the time to join Marinette with a nap. I lay next to her and gaze at her sleeping so tranquil. I grab a cloth off the side table and place it on the part of her head that's injured, then wrap my arm around her. She snuggles in close and continues to sleep. I can't help but smile at how cute she is. I hope I don't wake her with the sound of my heart beating out of my chest. I start playing with her hair and thinking about the future. So, I'll be Mr. Bug again, huh? Could I still visit Marinette like that? I'll have to ask Tikki about it. I'm sure it'll be fine. Marinette stirs a little, her head moving down my chest, getting closer and her hand hovering lightly over the crotch of my pants. Oh God, please don't get a boner now. This is not the time, she's asleep. Fine, I'll just go to sleep too. If I don't think about it, I should be able to control it. I start to drift into sleep as well.
