The New Guardian

The Card

Previously: "You seem like you don't want me to see something in those cards?"

"W-What? Me? Not want you to see something? Psh, no!"

I turn and crawl closer to her, almost on her, "Are you... lying?" I say with a smirk.

She pushes me back onto my side of the bed, unexpectedly overpowering me and crawling over me now, "Nope. Now, chose."

"C-Chose w-what?"

"A movie." She says triumphantly as she sits back on her side of the bed, smirking.

This is going to be harder than I thought.

~This chapter is in Marinettes POV~

I pick up the cards from the nightstand as Adrien runs into the bathroom. Tikki flies over to me cautiously. I look over to her and extend my hand for her to sit on. She beams and hurries over to sit.

"Marinette! I've been so worried about you. I heard everything, I'm glad you're okay! What about Adrien seeing, you know?" She says in a whisper so that Adrien doesn't hear from the bathroom.

"Thank you, Tikki. Isn't it crazy? I don't even remember the accident but I still feel kind of weird, ya know? I know I still sort of like Adrien deep down but I don't know if I'd say it was a good thing he saw my, uh, derriere like that."

"Speaking of Adrien, why was he saying your name so much when he was sleeping?"

"I don't know, maybe he, um, was having a nightmare or reliving what happened today?"

"No, I think he was having a dirty dream about you," she says with a smirk, "he moaned and called you 'baby'! You can't deny that!"

"W-What! There's no way! W-Why would he have a dream like that about me?"

"Maybe he likes you!"

"Ha! No way, and besides, I already told you I'm trying to move on. He'll have to try a little harder to win me over again."

"Okay, Marinette. Let's see where this goes, but I bet you'll kiss by the end of the night!"

"Tikki!"

The little kwami giggles at me and flies off my hand. She flies to my face, hugs my cheek and soars back to my purse saying, "Just read your cards before he comes out here!"

"Ugh, I guess you're right." I say, picking up the first card. The card is a large piece of construction paper folded in half. I open it to find the signatures of everyone in class wishing me well wishes. That's so thoughtful, I should bake them some cookies when I go back to school to thank them. I pick up another "card" and see it's from Alya and Nino. It's a folded up paper and something drops out when I open it. The card reads:

Marinette,
We hope you feel better! We're sorry spirit week got fucked up because of this mess. (I didn't see your ass or anything else Mari! -Nino) On a slightly different note, I know you told me not to tell you unless there was a marriage proposal attached but Nino told me Adrien is in love with you!!!! I'm back to shipping Adrienette! He apparently figured it out last night and was planning on breaking it off with Kagami today! I hope this works out for you, don't be nervous! I know you'll work it out! We're rooting for you!

P.S. We heard Adrien might be spending the night with you in the hospital so just in case, use this lol (It's a condom btw, I know you're both virgins so I figured you wouldn't know) -Love, Alya and Nino
