"You goof ball." She bopped his nose, making it scrunch up cutely.

He smiled at her and pulled her towards himself, wrapping his arms over her to pull her petite body against his chest.

Marinette smiled and settled against him, grabbing her throw from behind them and unfolding it over them both.

"De-transform for me?"

Chat smiled and nodded his head, calling out to Plagg. There was a flash of green light and then Adrien laid where Chat had been.

"Better?" He kicked off his shoes and pulled the blanket up to their shoulders, laying face to face.

"Much." Marinette agreed, tucking her head below Adrien's chin, her cheek just below his collarbone.

Adrien slowly woke up, surrounded in warmth. There was a small rustle and an arm curled further around his stomach. His right side was weighed down slightly and his nose was being tickled by something.

He opened his eyes slowly, letting them adjust to the light as he took in his surroundings.

He was really confused for a few minutes, until he remembered the previous evening.

He looked down at the weight on his side and smiled. It was some errant hairs that had dislodged from Marinette's hair ties that had been tickling his nose.

She made a soft noise and turned fully onto her stomach, one of her legs over his hips while an arm was strewn across his chest. It had obviously moved while he was orienting himself to the light.

He paused as his brain caught up with what he was thinking.

'Light. Sunlight. The morning. The photo shoot!' His eyes widened and he craned his neck in an attempt to see some form of clock.

"Plagg!" He whispered urgently, not wanting to wake the sleeping beauty but also needing to draw the lazy Kwami's attention.

A small red kwami floated over to him.

"Hi! I'm Tikki, the ladybug kwami!" She whisper shouted.

He looked at the pretty golden crown design on her head and remembered his conversation with Marinette from the previous evening.

He shook his head and nodded his greeting to the kwami.

"It's nice to meet you. Could you tell me the time, please?"

She smiled and disappeared over to the desk for a moment.

He looked down at Marinette, while he waited. Her hair was splayed across the bed and his chest in a fan of silky blue strands. Her lips were pouted slightly, probably at whatever she was dreaming about. Her thick, black eyelashes were fluttering slightly as her eyes flickered behind their lids and there was a small, dry bead of drool that had fallen from her mouth to his shirt.

Tikki reappeared and gave a childlike giggle as she hovered just above the sleeping Marinette.

"It's just gone 6, Adrien." He nodded in relief and relaxed back into the comfortable bed.

"Good. I'll have to get home soon though. I have a photo shoot at 8:20."

Tikki nodded and flitted away to wherever it was that she liked to hide, probably where Plagg was currently sleeping.

Adrien waited for an hour. He was in a sort of light sleep/ daydream, carding his fingers through Marinette's long soft hair.

He looked out the window to see that it was much brighter now and looked back down at Marinette.
