I'd just like to say.

Running your hands through your crush's soft as heck hair is amazing.

Enjoy!

Marinette awoke with a headache, her head pounding much too hard and her cheeks much too hot. Her eyelids were heavy as she laid on, what she assumed, was the floor. It was bitterly cold and quiet before she let out a soft moan.

"Princess!"

A muffled voice called out, loud, quick, steps following it. Suddenly freezing hands were on her face, gently rubbing circles on her cheeks with the thumbs.

"Princess...I'm so sorry…"

The voice said softly as tears landed on her face.

Oh.

She knew that voice.

"Chat?"

Suddenly she was surrounded by strong arms, Chat's face buried in the crook of her neck.

"I never wanted this...I swear I never wanted this..." He choked out, "I just wanted my mother...I wanted...I wanted...I- AUGH!"

Marinette's eyes shot open at the sound of him screaming, shoving her away before standing up.

Though still weak, she let out a cry as well, seeing his glowing purple eyes once again. She hated those eyes with a burning passion. They were so empty, so soulless, so...unlike Chat.

Marinette watched in horror as Hawkmoth appeared in her blurry vision, his hand raised in the direction of them. His hand moved, and so did Chat Blanc. Chat grabbed her roughly by the arm, dragging her to a different spot in the room, a spot next to a small cage. With a grunt, she sat up, only to have her ankles and arms tied together. As Chat moved to cover her mouth she leaned up, peking him lightly on the lips.

His eyebrows shot up, eyes widening. Something she never thought she'd see happen with those purple monstrosities.

She heard Hawkmoth hiss before pulling Chat Blanc away, his face falling back to it's emotionless expression.

"Welcome to my humble abode, Ladybug," Hawkmoth finally smiled, taking a few steps towards her, Chat staying still, "How have you been?"

"Taking care of your son."

She'd never seen terror flash on someone's eyes like that before.

"How do you know?"

"How do you know my identity?"

"I owe you no explanation."

"Then I don't owe you one either."

With a growl, Hawk Moth made a shoo-ing motion with his hand, sending Chat against the wall and plopping down next to her. Marinette leaned her head on his shoulder, shocked when he returned the gesture.

Rage filled Hawk Moth's expression and he let out a curse as he turned away. A small laugh called both their attention, Marinette looking into the cage with surprise to see what seemed like Chat Noir's kwami.

"The great Hawk Moth, drive to cursing, at a child."

"I'm not a child!"

"To us you are." Plagg countered, grinning.

"Shut up! You're at my mercy!"

"God help me, Hawky, I'll destroy you."

Hawk Moth cursed once again, this time leaving the room completely. Once he was gone, Plagg scooted closer to where Marinette sat, a sad smile on his face.

"I'm Plagg, it's nice to meet you, Ladybug. Although...I always hoped we'd meet under better circumstances…"

"Please call me Marinette, Plagg. It's a pleasure to meet you, even under these circumstances."

The kwami felt himself lighten, a spark of hope igniting in him.

"You're special, Marinette. Fu was completely right about you."

"What do you mean?"

"Fu has so much faith in you, you and Chat Noir."

Plagg smiled warmly at her once again, a special fondness in his eyes. He didn't feel the need to explain further, simply settling down in the cage with Kit Kat.

Marinette sensed his peace and relaxed as well, turning her attention to the boy next to her, leaning up to kiss his cheek.

"I'll save you, Mon Minou. You'll be safe. You'll be loved. Okay?"

She heard a pleased hum from the cage and grinned.

"You too, Plagg."

"Thank you, Marinette."

HAHA LONG WAIT SHORT CHAPTer im so sorry

I've been considering opening up a Tumblr and want to know if anyone would be interested. I'm thinking it may motivate me to write more on a platform I'm more active on. I'd post most my old works except this one cause it's cringy as heck.

Please review and have a pawsome day!
