I can't breathe, can you help me

Chapter 7

When Marinette woke up she started to cough up flower petals.
"Are you alright Marinette?" Tikki asked, worriedly.
"I'm alright, Tikki." Marinette answered, while trying to catch her breath.
"My room smells like carnations." Marinette commented.
"Not competely, Chat did bring your favorite flowers last night." Tikki said, Marinette gave the kwami a tiny smile, then looked over at the gloxinias.
"Yeah, he did." Marinette replied.
"And Adrien is coming over later." Tikki said, Marinette knew Tikki was trying to cheer her up.
"I can't believe I let you convince me to text him to come over today." Marinette said, before coughing again, she sighed and threw the petals on the floor.
"I don't want you to give up Marinette." Tikki replied.
"I know Tikki, but I wasn't able to tell Adrien my feelings when I wasn't sick, how am I going to tell him now?" Marinette asked.
"We'll figure something out, now get dressed, Adrien should be here in a couple of hours." Tikki said, Marinette chuckled and got dressed as well as clean up her room, since it was filled with carnation petals.
"Marinette, your friend.....Adrien is here."
Marinette looked at her door and saw her mother.
"Thanks mom, can you let him up here?" Marinette asked, Sabine nodded her head and left, Marinette started to cough violently and when it ended she threw away the petals, luckily she was able to through away the rest of the petals that was already in here room before Adrien got here, a couple minutes later Marinette's mom and Adrien walked into her room.
"I'll leave you two alone now." Sabine said, before leaving the room and closing the door behind her.
"Hey Marinette." Adrien said.
"Hey A.....Adrien." Marinette replied.
"So what games do you want to play?" Adrien asked.
"If want...you.....I mean...play....you want to play....um..Ultimate Mecha Strike 3?" Marinette asked.
"Sure." Adrien answered, giving Marinette a small smile, Marinette had gotten better at talking to him but she still had trouble, Marinette nodded her head, then they got the game set up.
"Gotten...you...um....game....have you practiced any since the last time we play together?" Marinette asked, as they started to play the game.
"Yep, can't let you beat me again." Adrien answered.
"Never." Marinette said, then she began to cough.
"Has your coughing let up any?" Adrien asked, as Marinette placed the petals on the floor and they went back to their game.
"No...its....um worse." Marinette answered.
"But it hasn't even been a full week since you got sick." Adrien said, Marinette shrugged her shoulders.
"Sorry Marinette, didn't mean to upset you." Adrien apologized.
"Didn't.....I...um...apologize....you don't need to apologize." Marinette said.
"Alright." Adrien replied, they focused back on their game and after about seven rounds of Marinette winning, Adrien finally won.
"G...great j..job." Marinette said.
"Thanks Marinette." Adrien replied, Marinette blushed, but nodded her head.
"Now let's see if I can win again." Adrien said, before Marinette could answer she started to cough.
"Um...I on...lucky....you.....no way you'll beat me again." Marinette said, once the coughing was over and the flower petals were moved to the pile that was a couple of inches away from Marinette. Adrien gave Marinette a look of determination and focus and the two went back to their game, and Adrien did win some rounds while Marinette won others.
"I better get back home before my dad freaks out, thanks for having me over Marinette." Adrien said, once he realized how late it was getting, for awhile Marinette didn't say anything but then she did something surprising....she hugged him.
"And thank you for coming over." Marinette whispered, before she quickly let go of him, Adrien smiled and gave Marinette a quick hug.
"See you at school tomorrow." Adrien said, then he left her room, Marinette soon began to cough violently.
"Marinette, are you ok?" Tikki asked, from where she was hiding.....behind a pillow on Marinette's bed.
"I'm alright Tikki." Marinette whispered, as the kwami flew over to her, before the kwami could say anything there was a scream from outside, Marinette ran onto her balcony and saw that there was another akuma attack, Marinette hid.
"Tikki, spots on." Marinette whispered, a few seconds later Ladybug was heading towards the akuma attack, when she got there Chat was already there.
"Hello m'lady." Chat said.
"Hey Chat, this one difficult?" Ladybug asked, as she dodged and attack.
"The same as the others bugaboo." Chat answered.
"Then let's finish this." Ladybug said, Chat nodded his head, when the akuma was dealt with Ladybug was about to leave but Chat stopped her.
"M'lady, can I talk to you for a second?" Chat asked.
"Sure Chat, what is it?" Ladybug asked.
"I just wanted to tell you that I'm in love with you." Chat answered nervously, Ladybug froze.
"I'm sorry Chat but I'm in love with someone else...I....I got to go now, see you later." Ladybug said, before leaving.
"Tikki, spots off." Ladybug said, when she was inside her room, almost immediantly Marinette fell to the floor coughing, after a couple of minutes Marinette stopped coughing and there was dozens of carnation petals around her knees and elbows.
"Marinette." Tikki whispered, Marinette looked at the kwami and gave her a weak smile.
"I'm ok, let's see if Chat shows up." Marinette said, then she walked back up to her balcony and waited.
"I guess he's not coming tonight." Marinette said, a couple hours later and Chat still hadn't shown up, Marinette walked back into her room and gave Tikki a couple of cookies, then after she coughed up more flower petals Marinette decided to go to sleep.
