I can't breathe, can you help me

Chapter 10

The rest of the week went by like all the last two and during the night Chat Noir would visit Marinette, give her some gloxinia's and tried to make her laugh a little for both their sakes, though tonight was a little different when Chat arrived Marinette was crying.
"Purrincess, what's wrong?" Chat asked, as he landed down next to Marinette, he was surprised when Marinette hugged him usually it was him who started the hugs.
"I'm scared kitty." Marinette whispered, Chat wrapped his arms around her, and pulled Marinette even closer to him.
"I want to tell him, but." Marinette didn't finish what she was saying as she began to cough.
"What if it's the fact that he doesn't know you love him, so he isn't able to love you back?" Chat asked, he was grasping at straws now.
"I don't know how he wouldn't, everyone probably knows....I was always stumbling over my words and blushing whenever I was around him.....before I got sick I had almost worked up the courage to tell him, but when I figured out that.......that.....anyway I started to have some hope that if I told him I loved him, he might return my feelings but I had to work up the courage again. When I decided that.....the next day when I walked into class he looked a little upset......at least until Kagami Tsurugi walked into class.....he looked at her like I do with him whenever I feel upset......not long after he started to spend a lot more time together and she would keep touching his hand, he never pulled back. Whenever I saw that I could feel the stems in my lungs and heart tighten and grow and it hurt, so to stop the stems from growing faster and to stop my heart from breaking further I stopped going to school besides I couldn't stop coughing up flower petals anyway, so it didn't matter what the reason was......I just hope he's happy." Marinette whispered, then she began to cough up flower petal, Chat could only stare at her in shock.
"Thank you for telling me that purrincess.....you didn't have to but you did." Chat said.
"You're welcome kitty." Marinette said, then she yawned.
"Hmm, I better go so you can get some rest." Chat said, they let go of each other and Chat went back home.
"Plagg, claws in." Chat said, a couple seconds later Adrien sat down on the edge of his bed and let out a sob.
"She's in love me, how couldn't I have noticed that?" Adrien asked, as he cried.
"Because you were focusing your love on Ladybug." Plagg answered, as he ate a piece of camebert, Adrien let out a choked sob.
"And since I focused my attention on Kagami, I was unintentionally hurting Marinette." Adrien said.
"And now you've got to get your feelings figured out quickly because I sensed that Marinette doesn't have long to live." Plagg replied, before Adrien could blame himself even more.
"What are you saying Plagg?" Adrien asked.
"I'm saying we're going to figure out what you feel for Marinette, and we're going to do that by telling me everything you can about Kagami and Marinette." Plagg answered.
"What about Ladybug?" Adrien asked.
"Do we need to add her?" Plagg asked, Adrien paused then he shook his head.
"Alright, first Kagami." Plagg said.
"She's nice, pretty, confident, and she likes fencing." Adrien replied, and he winced at how little he knew her.
"Now Marinette." Plagg said, when Adrien didn't say anything else about Kagami.
"She's nice to everyone she meets even if they don't deserve her kindness, she's shy but can be a great leader when needed, she's clumsy, beautiful, she's unsure of herself but sometimes she's confident, her favorite flowers are gloxinia's, she loves video games and are very good at them, she loves fashion designing but also loves baking, and she cares a lot about me, and me as Chat Noir." Adrien said, all in one breath.
"Now what is your heart telling you?" Plagg asked.
"To be with Marinette." Adrien answered, after a minute of silence.
"And what do you, yourself want to do?" Plagg asked, Adrien thought of all the times he wanted to be around Marinette and all the times he wanted to protect her.....if was able to protect her, then of the one time last year that he thought if he wasn't in love with Ladybug, he would've given all of himself to Marinette.
"I want to be with Marinette." Adrien answered.
"Then text her and ask if you want to go somewhere." Plagg said, Adrien did what the kwami said and texted Marinette asking if she would like to Andre's tomorrow at noon, a few minutes later he recieved a text from her saying that she would love to go and that they would meet at her place, Adrien smiled and went to bed.
"Marinette, just hold on a little bit longer, he's figured it out now he just needs to tell you." Plagg said, as Adrien slept, he didn't have a connection with Marinette but he did with Tikki, and Tikki was crying out in worry and fear which let Plagg know that Marinette was losing her life rapidly.
A/N: In the last chapter I forgot to put in what songs Adrien was playing is the piano version of Terrible Things by Mayday Parade.
