I can't breathe, can you help me

Chapter 5

That same day after fencing practice, Adrien was driven back home, as soon as he could get out of the car he quickly made his way to his room.
"Camembert, the love of my life." Plagg said, as he flew over to where his camambert cheese was.
"Was it just me, or did Marinette seem more sick today?" Adrien asked, ignoring Plagg's love confession to the cheese that was on his dresser.
"You know she's only going to get sicker and sicker until she is either cured or well...you know." Plagg answered.
"But the only way she can be cured is if the one she's in love with returns her feelings." Adrien said.
"Yep." Plagg replied, Adrien sighed and walked into his bathroom.
"Kid, she's in love with you." Plagg whispered, as he heard the shower running, Plagg knew he should probably actually tell Adrien that Marinette loved him, but it wasn't his secret to tell and Tikki would kill him if he did. When Adrien finished his shower he got dressed and walked over to his computer, when he saw his wallpaper he gasped.
"What is it?" Plagg asked.
"What if Ladybug needed me for something?" Adrien asked, pointing at his wallpaper which consisted of images of Ladybug, Plagg looked at the computer screen and shook his head.
"You're fine, she's the one who ususally leaves first anyway." Plagg answered.
"But-"
"No, you were worried about a friend......Marinette is the one who needs you not Ladybug." Plagg interuppted Adrien, he really needed to get some sense through that boy, yes Ladybug and Marinette were the same person but Adrien didn't know that. So for the time being Plagg needed to get the fact Marinette needed her hero......or in Adrien's words knight in shining leather, and Ladybug didn't need her partner.
"Adrien, I know you've been ignoring....actually flat out denying it but this isn't some weird cold or flu.....Marinette's dying, it's not just one flower growing in her heart and lungs, there's mulitple flowers which will crush her heart and lungs if fully grown........that will happen in a month, if Marinette is lucky it will be two. Now kid, you have to choose which girl needs your attention more, Marinette or Ladybug." Plagg said, he knew he was being harsh but it seemed that Adrien wasn't fully grasping the situation Marinette was in, and if she even had a chance of living Adrien needed to at least notice Marinette though Plagg would bet a piece of his camambert that Adrien already has noticed Marinette but is ignoring it. Plagg slowly watched the realization reach Adrien's eyes, and knew it fully hit him when he looked over at the picture that featured him and his friends, and let out a quiet almost inaudiable sob.
"Marinette could die." Adrien said.
"Yes." Plagg replied.
"Now, be there for her as both Adrien and Chat Noir.....she's friends with both.....hmm maybe even Chat Noir might be able to get Marinette to tell him who she is in love with." Plagg said, Plagg really wished Tikki didn't place a don't let your miraculous holder tell who ladybug or chat noir is, if she didn't Plagg would tell Adrien that Marinette is Ladybug and see what happens from there, but Tikki did so Plagg couldn't say anything.
"You're right Plagg, but why wouldn't Marinette be able to tell me who she is in love with?" Adrien asked.
"She can barely from a whole sentence when she's around you, I'm surprised you had a full conversation with her today, I don't think she would be able to tell you who she's in love with, Adrien, I wouldn't force her to tell you, it'll backfire and end badly." Plagg said, he knew Adrien wanted to jump head first into this but it really would end badly....it has happened before, though nobody was sick, and it would be good for Adrien if he got to know more about Marinette.
"I'll visit her tonight, she still needs to tell me what her favorite flower is." Adrien replied, he looked back at his computer and turned it off, then he picked up his phone and texted Marinette if she was alright, after what happened earlier today, he didn't get a response until sometime after dinner, she said she was alright but her throat was sore.
"Plagg, claws out." Adrien said, a couple seconds later Chat Noir was jumping out his bedroom window and making his way towards Marinette's house, when he got there Marinette was already on her balcony.
"Hello purrincess." Chat said.
"Hey kitty." Marinette replied.
"How are you, there was an akuma attack today?" Chat asked.
"I'm fine, besides I was no where near the akuma attack." Marinette answered.
"And your coughing?" Chat asked.
"It's gotten worse, and my room is starting to smell like carnations." Marinette answered.
"Well what's your favorite type of flower, I'll bring you some?" Chat asked, Marinette gave him a tiny smile
"My favorite flowers are gloxinia." Marinette answered, before she started to cough, when the coughing stopped she picked up a carnation petal and stared at it.
"And my least favorite are carnations.....at least the red ones are." Marinette added, then dropped the petal.
"Maybe flowers isn't the best thing to bring, considering the circumstances." Chat said.
"No, it's fine I wouldn't mind flowers." Marinette replied.
"Alright, whatever you want purrincess." Chat said, Marinette smiled and nodded her head, then she started to cough again.
"It's not the petals that hurt, but the constant coughing is making my throat hurt." Marinette said, sighing, Chat walked over to Marinette and hugged her, again it took a couple minutes but Marinette hugged him back.
"Thanks kitty." Marinette whispered, when the hug ended.
"No problem purrincess, I wouldn't be deserving of the title of your knight in shining leather, if I couldn't even handle giving you a hug when you need it." Chat said, Marinette chuckled and smiled.
"Get some sleep purrincess, I'll see you later."Chat said.
"Goodnight Chat." Marinette replied, Chat smiled and lept off the side of the railing and went back home.
"Plagg, claws in." Chat said.
"Well, you know what flower she likes, are you going to get her some?" Plagg asked.
"Of course." Adrien answered, he grabbed his phone and looked up flower shops that was nearby and sold gloxinias.....there was only one shop and the flowers were expensive, but he didn't care, the next thing he did was text Nino asking if tomorrow at noon would he, as well as Alya and Marinette be up for getting ice cream.
"Why ice cream?" Plagg asked, he was looking at Adrien's phone over his shoulder.
"Well it is good, plus it should help sooth Marinette's throat." Adrien answered, before Plagg could say anything, Adrien's phone rang, Adrien looked at his  phone, Nino had texted him back and it said that Alya and Marinette agreed and he was good with it, but Alya was wanting to go to Andre's.... and Marinette was good with Andre's, Alya also said that they would meet at Marinette's house, Adrien texted back saying he was good with Andre's as well and meeting at Marinette's was fine too.
