Take My Heart With You

Aching

Marinette sat up unsteadily on the bed.

Slowly she tried to get up but quickly realized how futile it was when she had to bite her lip to keep from crying out. Sharp pain lanced through her head and colourful spots flashed in front of her eyes, it felt like her whole body had been beaten and every movement caused some muscle or bone to ache. 

Regardless, she needed to get out of here. Wincing in pain she grabbed the corners of a nearby table to help pull herself up. 

 It was against doctors orders to be moving right now but she needed the washroom and she'd have to have both legs broken before she'd ask for assistance with that.

She hobbled towards the door before leaning on a chair and panting. Her entire body ached. She stood up again and took a step forward when the door slammed open and a boy came rushing in.

Marinette was startled to see a face staring back at her in a mixture of surprise, longing and..relief? On impulse, she held her arms up in a defensive posture but quickly dropped them again when shoots of pain floated up to her arms. She felt foolish in his hospital gown. And why did she impulsively try and defend herself?

"Mari!" The boy collapsed on a chair and stared up at her with tears in his eyes. "Y-you're awake..I-I thought you would n-never e-ever wake u-up." A tear fell on his cheek

Marinette was taken aback. Never wake up? Wasn't she only asleep for a couple hours? She remembered waking up that morning when the doctors were bustling about. They hadn't exactly told her anything yet, only asked her if she could remember anything. Of course she remembered everything. She remembered Her mum and dad, Alya her best friend, nino, and her various other classmates. 

Her thoughts went back to the pretty blonde boy in front of her. Had she met him before? He was extremely good looking, even with the dark bags underneath his eyes and messy hair. Maybe he was a worried classmate. She stared at the boy on the chair, as he stood up and hugged her, planting a kiss on her forehead. Marinette pulled away in shock.

"Excuse me, but who are you? And why are you trying to kiss me?"
