Thanks for reading!

"We need to find a way out of this building!" Marinette exclaims while looking around the bathroom cubicle in panic. Adrien was next to her and so were two kwami's. One being her own and the other she recognizes as Chat Noirs.

She glances over at Adrien and he nods, "And we will."

Reaching for the handle of the door, their hands collide together over the lock. Glancing at each other briefly, they both blush with identical expressions. Before either of them could say anything; the sound of a door breaking down behind theirs could be heard. Pulling away from their hands, she releases a surprised gasp.

"What do we-" Adrien begins to speak, but she places a finger over his lips with a hushing noise. Both standing still, the sound of doors being shoved open could be heard and it was coming closer to their cubicle.

Marinette looks around for a way out. She spots a vent on the wall and shakes Adrien's shoulder to get his attention. Taking the screen down, they both climb onto the toilet and hoist themselves up into the vent. Her and Adrien crawl through the vent, trying not to make too much racket. The kwami's were floating ahead of them.

"We will get you." the attacker's voice ricocheted off the walls of the vent. She hoped whatever it was doesn't get them.

"Wow, Marinette. You seem like someone who has the right idea at the right time." Adrien comments with an almost proud smile.

She gulps nervously, "I hope your right."

She motions for them to keep crawling. It didn't take long to come across the exit of the vent. Adrien goes in front of her and grasps it, pushing it out. He looks in both directions just in case the attacker was there. Seeing no sign of it, he moves the vent bars against the wall below them and hops down with a small grunt.

Marinette moves into a sitting position as he did at first to jump from the opening. He turned around and smiled while holding his arms out to catch her. She pushes herself off with a shriek. Ending up falling on top of him and managing to fall on the floor. She lies there for a couple of seconds processing what just happened with wide eyes. Did she just fall on him? She could feel his hands holding her arms.

Finally processing that she really did fall on him, she leaps backward with a yelp. He let out his own surprised sound. Readying herself up for an apology, she ends up saying it in sync with his own apology. She realizes this and begins to laugh, and he mimics her.

Marinette lets out a sharp gasp as she flies up from her bed. She woke up to the sensation of falling from her dream. She lets out a relaxed sigh as she could not spot any danger. Was that a dream? It felt so real.

"Marinette?" she hears Tikki mumble besides her. "Are you okay?"

She blinks for a second, but quickly panics, "Tikki, what happened?!" Marinette grabs her, terrified at what she saw in her dream. "Why was Adrien and Chat Noir's kwami in my dream!? Then, then, I fell on top of him! It was so embarrassing. We touched hands too and he blushed!" she rambles dumbfounded and in disbelief.

All the while, Tikki's eyes grew bigger with every word that came out of her owner's mouth. She gulps nervously, "I have no idea, Marinette. It was only a dream! You need to calm down."

She follows her kwamis advice and takes a couple of deep breathes. She slowly calms down, "It felt so real though. It's just I don't remember this ever happening. Do you, Tikki?

The kwami shakes her head, "No. It was just a dream. Don't worry about it."

Marinette nods slowly, but still confused. The only question that remained in her mind is why on earth Char Noir's kwami was in it. Unless...no there's no way. She lets out a breathless laugh at her thought. There's no way Adrien is Chat Noir. Though her mind seems to whisper, why was it there then? She shakes her head at the thought and tries to convince herself it was just a dream.

Chat Noir and Adrien are nothing alike. It's almost impossible that they're the same person. Though, they have the same color of hair and eyes...her thoughts trail off. She lets out a frustrated sound and tries to chase away her thoughts. It wasn't real and with that final note, she glances at the clock. It was almost time for her to get up for school.

She lets out an annoyed groan and climbs her way down the bed. The dream was so vivid that her mom had to call her name multiple times to get her attention throughout the morning. Her mind kept drifting to the dream, she could not help it. She makes her way to school, nervous about seeing Adrien. Usually, she was ecstatic at the thought of seeing him in class.

Now, it felt weird that she felt like she did not want to because of him. Frowning slightly in thought, she marches her way up the stairs and waving at whoever greeted her on the way in. Alya found her eventually and started talking the Lady Blog; she listened to her friend gush about it. Both of them make their way to their classroom side by side.

Marinette was trying her hardest to pay attention, but the thought of seeing Adrien increased her anxiety. Before they walk in, Marinette stops Alya for a second and peeks into the classroom for any sign of Adrien. It seemed he was not there yet, and she let out a relieved sigh.

"Uh, why exactly are we lurking outside our classroom?" Alya asks with a confused quirked eyebrow.

"Oh, no reason...Come on!" Marinette grabs Alya's hand and dives into the classroom. She paces with her friend over to their assigned seat. She set down her school bag and sits while staring at the door waiting for Adrien to walk through.

"Are you okay girl?" Alya asks in concern and slight suspicion of Marinette's behavior. "You've been a bit distracted all morning."

"Yeah yeah, just fine." Marinette claims still staring intensely at the doorway.

Alya shrugs it off for typical weird Marinette behavior and pulls out her school materials. Around five minutes later, Adrien walks in while talking to Nino. Marinette could not help but stare at him and he seemed to notice someone was. He looks up and saw it was her. He flashes her a friendly smile but then turns his back on her while sitting down in his seat. She flashed her own strained smile before he turned, but he seemed to not notice.

With a sigh, she pulls out her notebook as the morning bell goes off. She really needed to stop, or she is going to be labeled as a weirdo by him. Images of the dream spring up and she blushes remembering him touching her hand and falling on him.

"If only...", she mutters under her breath. She lifts her gaze to his back with a pout. She doubts she will ever get that close to him.

Marinette notices his ring as he writes what the teacher lectures. She has seen it before, but now she has suspicions of him being Chat which she doubts incredibly. She could not help, but wonder; the ring looks like Chat's and on the same hand, the main difference it being black and the lack of pawprints. The doubt was eating at her, but the dream made it seem like it could be true. Perhaps, she should ask Chat next time she meets him? Of course, she would have to do it carefully.

Her evidence was quite scattered which feeds her more doubt. If Adrien really was Chat, she's not even sure how she would react. Would it be a dream or a nightmare? That would mean him being Chat would mean he's liked her this whole time without even knowing. That sent butterflies to her stomach at the thought of him being in love with her. Though, that would mean they would know each other's secret identities. She will have to tread carefully from this point on with her suspicions.

Before she knows it, the school rings again. Signifying it was time for lunch break. Her and Alya get up, making their way out of class with their bags in hand. She wanted to talk to Adrien, but even if he really was Chat Noir; she would still be a rambling mess in his un-masked form. She decides to wait till tonight when she and Chat go on their daily night scope for akumas. At least then, she will not be as tongue-tied. Nodding to herself about her plan. She spends the rest of the day thinking about how to question Chat till the final bell rings for the day.
