The Incident

Third P.O.V

It started raining when they finally reached Marinette's house. Adrien, Alya, and Nino ran to the bakery. They had been craving something to eat. (Mostly Macaroons) Marinette walked out of the car, then... Something really bad happened.

BOOM!

BANG!

CRASH

SPLAT!

"Marinette! No!!" Screamed the fearful Adrien. Everyone ran over to her. "Back at the hospital, I guess," Said Nino, blankly staring at the unconscious Marinette. Her parents came running to them. "What happened?!" Asked Tom, practically shouting. "M-Marinette walked out of the car, and as she was walking, a car hit her," explained Alya, with her eyes full of tears. Adrien's eyes were also very tearful. The nurse — Who was still with them — ran to the unconscious Marinette. "Oof, she's really bruised." The nurse exclaimed unhappily. 'Again? Why does Marinette have to go through all this pain? She doesn't deserve this!' Adrien furiously thought. He was putting all the blame on Lila. She was the one that got them here in the first place. She was the one that hurt the love of his life. He was finally ready to pour his heart out and tell Marinette that he loved her. 'I guess fate decided it was the wrong day' Adrien sadly thought. He let out a sigh full of both anger and sadness.

They quickly got into the car. The nurse immediately grabbed a wheeled stretcher, and she put Marinette on it. She found a way to put the wheeled stretcher into the ambulance. 'If Marinette kissed my cheek during that dare, then that means... I'M HER CRUSH!' Adrien thought. He was thinking of all kinds of things, including dirty stuff ;)

'What. Is. Taking. So. LONG?!' Alya thought as she twiddled her thumbs in a way to try to have fun. They finally arrived at the hospital after a 30-minute ride. They arrived in the room, and they laid her onto the hospital bed. The doctor entered the room, and he started examining Marinette. "Hmm, what happened to her?" Asked the doctor. "Oh, and just so you know, my name is Doctor Mike," He informed. The nurse informed him that Marinette got hit by a car. "Oh my God," Doctor Mike exclaimed. "What? WHAT? IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG?!" Adrien shouted. "No, no. I said that because I was upset that a car hit this beautiful young woman. How old is she?" The doctor asked. "19" replied Alya. Doctor Mike frowned.

Soon, the whole class came barging into the room. "WHAT HAPPENED?!" Asked the whole class simultaneously. Alya explained for the hundredth time what happened to her. After a while, the doctor said, "Can you all sit in the waiting room, please? Only 4 people can stay in the room." The confused class left the room, sympathizing Marinette. Even Chloe sympathized her. "Did Lila do this?" Chloe inquisitively asked. "I guess. We blame her," Adrien answered.

Adrien, Nino, Chloe, and Alya were the only ones not in the waiting room. Chloe really wanted Marinette to stay alive, for two reasons.

1- Because she missed bullying Marinette.

2- Because she — For once — wanted to maybe become friends with Marinette.

"I'm sure you and that idiotic Lila planned this all to happen. We get that you hate Marinette, but that doesn't mean you have to kill her!" Alya shouted to Chloe. Chloe gasped in offense. "What made you think that?!" She asked, displeased. "Well, obviously you and Lila are always planning a way to ruin Marinette's life. But this time, you've gone too far!" Alya savagely answered. Adrien speedily stopped them before they started a one-on-one fight. "Wait! Alya, we don't know that Chloe's the cause of Marinette's almost-death," He defended Chloe. Alya frowned at the thought of Marinette dying, and at Adrien's words.

'Marinette's almost-death'

'Marinette's almost-death'

'Marinette's almost-death'

'Marinette's almost-death'

These thoughts kept occurring in Alya's brain. She would kill herself if something happened to Marinette. She used all her energy to prevent herself from sobbing, but she finally gave up. She fell into Nino's arms and started sobbing. Pouring her heart out. "It's okay, Alya... It's okay," Nino whispered.

A few minutes later, Marinette's parents arrived at the hospital. A nearly tearful Chloe explained to Tom and Sabine. They all entered the room, and they examined the doctor checking Marinette's heartbeat. "My daughter..." Tom mumbled. "It's going to be okay, Tom... Hopefully," Sabine reassured him. She pulled him into a tight hug. Adrien, Alya, and Nino joined the hug, all uncontrollably crying and sobbing. Chloe wasn't hugging anyone. But soon enough, she couldn't take it. She couldn't keep pushing away her real feelings. She joined the hug, also crying. Adrien, Alya, and Nino were surprised to see her crying because of Marinette, but they didn't care. 'I wish Marinette stays alive!' Adrien prayed. He was lost in all kinds of different thoughts. After a few minutes, they pulled away from the hug. They all rubbed the tears off of their eyes.

"U-uh, w-w-what happ-pened?" Marinette sleepily asked after waking up from her slumber. Everyone stopped sobbing and looked at Marinette. They were all extremely surprised she was alive. "You're alive. You're alive!" Adrien shouted. "You're alive! That's great! Anyway, you got hit by a car, but that's okay. At least you're alive!" Sabine explained. Marinette's bluebell eyes were slowly adjusting to the bright lights. Meanwhile, Adrien was smiling so bright, it could beat the sun in a 'Which is brighter' competition.

Chloe ran over to Marinette and hugged her. "Um, what's happening? Why is Chloe hugging me?" Asked the utterly confused Marinette. "I wanna be your friend!" replied the excited Chloe.

The doctor asked the nurse to put Marinette in a wheelchair. "It turns out, this young woman broke her leg. The injury is mostly in her ankle. Prevent her from moving around too much, and she needs lots of rest. She cannot go to her college for 2-3 weeks," Explained Doctor Mike. Marinette examined his name tag, which has 'Dr. Mike' on it.

Tom, Sabine, Adrien, and the rest of the class made their way to the hospital door. The class returned to the college. "I'm so glad you're okay, Marinette," admitted Adrien. Marinette smiled her signature smile at him. Adrien loved that beautiful smile very much.

They arrived at Marinette's home. "While we take Alya and Nino home, can we trust you to take good care of Marinette, Mr. Agreste?" asked Sabine. Adrien nodded then said, "Yes, you can trust me. Also, you can just call me Adrien." Tom and Sabine nodded and got in the car. Tom gestured for Nino and Alya to come into the car. Before they did that, Alya mischievously smiled at Nino, and he did the same.

Adrien pushed the wheelchair — The one Marinette was sitting on — into the bakery. Marinette was astonished by his strong muscles. "...rinette, Marinette!" Adrien snapped her out of her weird thoughts. "W-What?" She asked. "We're in your room," Adrien told her. "How d-did you? How did you carry the wheelchair in here?" She asked, extremely confused and curious. "I go to the gym, so I can practically carry anything," He replied. They were the only ones in the bakery, and in Marinette's room. "Do you want me to put you in your bed?" Asked Adrien. Marinette nodded. Adrien carried her to her bed. (He carried Marinette, and he left the wheelchair on the ground) He tucked her in with the softest blanket he could find. Adrien smiled at her, then he sat on the pink chaise next to her bed. It was also in front of her desk. Marinette was tremendously grateful that she removed all the pictures of Adrien she had. She also changed her Desktop picture to one with Alya, Nino, Adrien, and her in it.

"A-Adrien?" Marinette called. "Yes, Marinette? What do you need?" He asked. "I-I don't m-mean to bother you, b-but can you p-please stay the night here in m-my house?" Marinette appealed. Adrien gave a skeptical face, then he asked, "Won't your parents be back soon?" She nodded, then explained, "I'll tell them that I wanted you to stay here. They'll understand." He nodded. "I'll see if Nathalie allows it," He said. Marinette felt excited that maybe her long-term crush might stay with her.

Adrien's P.O.V

And so I asked Nathalie...

Me: Hi Nathalie, can I stay for a sleepover at my friend's house, please?

Nathalie: Of course, but which friend?

Me: Nino.

I didn't want to lie to her, but I knew she wouldn't trust me to stay alone with Marinette in her house, especially since Marinette's parents weren't there. A million things could happen. (A/N: Heeheehee. BTW, nothing dirty will happen in the story...)

Nathalie: Yes, sure. Can you walk home once the sleepover is finished?

Me: Yes, of course.

Nathalie: Okay, that is great. GoodBye Adrien.

Me: Bye, Nathalie :)

I felt very excited that I, Adrien Agreste, was going to stay at Marinette's house. I was surprised she didn't pick anyone else, like for example The Tomato Child (Nathaniel), or even NINO! Instead, she picked me!

I looked at Marinette, with a big smile on my face. "So, she said 'yes'?" She asked. I enthusiastically nodded. Then, a huge smile was on her face. 'Where will I sleep?' I thought.

"Where will I sleep?" I asked her, with my smile gone. "If you want, you can sleep in my bed. Or, you can sleep on an air mattress we have in our storage closet," She answered. I didn't want to make her think I'm weird if I said 'I want to sleep in your bed' but I couldn't turn down that opportunity. I also didn't want to sleep on an air mattress. "If it's not too much trouble, I would like to sleep in your bed, please," I said, almost regretting it. I cursed everything, I felt very embarrassed. "Sure," she replied. I was very surprised.

I climbed into her bed, trying as much as I can not turn into a tomato. I tucked myself in. Then, we stayed silent for a few minutes.

Third P.O.V

"So, now what?" Adrien asked. Marinette shrugged. She was dying inside. She couldn't believe that ADRIEN was sitting next to HER!

'Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!' Was all Marinette could think of.

"Um, I don't know what we should do," She admitted. "Why don't we just sleep?" Adrien suggested. She nodded, then she started drifting off to sleep.

After a while, she was asleep. Adrien was still awake, admiring Marinette's beauty. 'She's so beautiful. Her gorgeous bluebell eyes, and her astonishing midnight blue hair... She. Is. So. BEAUTIFUL!' He thought. He was lost in his thoughts until Marinette screamed. "Aaaahhh!" Adrien's eyes widened. "What's wrong? Marinette, are you okay?" He asked. "Y-yeah, I just had a nightmare," She replied. "Well, don't worry, I'm here with you. I'll keep you safe from anything," Adrien reassured her. She smiled. He opened his hands waiting for a hug, and she hugged him. 'I wish I could stay like this forever. Adrien's hands are so warm!' Marinette said in her mind. Marinette felt very satisfied. 'Being in his strong hands feels so good!' She thought.

They finally pulled away from each other, keeping their hands to themselves. "Um, I-I don't want to disgust y-you, but d-do you w-want to sleep i-in my arms? Y-you will alw-ways be s-safe with me," Adrien offered. She was surprised. Having no idea what to say, she asked, "You mean, y-you want to c-cuddle?" Adrien nodded. "If it's n-not too much trouble, and if it doesn't bother you!" He said quickly. "Sure, it's not too m-much trouble," She replied.

They were cuddling...

After a few minutes, a text came from their group chat. 'Dang it! Why did this moment have to end!?' Adrien thought.

Nino: Hey guys, ADRIEN AND MARINETTE ARE IN THE BAKERY ALONE! WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE DOING IN THERE ;)

Marinette: HEY! We're not doing anything! We were asleep until you interrupted!

Nino: Ooh! Are you cuddling?

"How did he know?!" Marinette and Adrien said simultaneously. They both giggled, then Marinette said, "I know what to say," Adrien nodded.

Marinette: No, we're not cuddling... I have an air mattress at home, and Adrien's sleeping on it.

Nino: Oh...

Alix: Ha! Roasted! I think...

Adrien: LMAO

(A/N: If you didn't know what 'LMAO' means, it means Laughing my butt/a** out)

Marinette looked at Adrien, who was sitting on her bed (Next to her) and she winked. "See, I told you I knew what to say," She said while giggling. He laughed with her.

Alix: Wanna play Truth or Dare?

Marinette: No! You know what happened last time!

Alix: Fine... PartyPooper!

Marinette: Don't call me that!

"Wait, Marinette. Speaking of truth or dare, when Alix asked you to 'kiss your crush' you kissed me. Does that mean I'm your crush?" Adrien asked out of curiosity. Marinette slowly nodded. "Please don't hate me!" She said, covering her face with the soft, pink blanket. "No, Marinette... Don't worry, I don't hate you," He said, chuckling. He slowly put the blanket away from her shocked face. "It's actually the... opposite... I've been waiting to say this, but... I love you Marinette!" He said with a weak smile.
