She still showed no sign of waking and he frowned as he realised that he would need to wake her up.

He really didn't want to, having put it off for as long as he could. But he couldn't risk not being in his room, when Natalie came to get him for breakfast.

He moved as slowly as he could, trying not to jostle Marinette- which could startle her awake. He didn't very much feel like having a flailing arm to the face, first thing in the morning.

He managed to work them so that she was laying on the bed and he was awkwardly hovering above, awkwardly but much at a much easier angle to leave without waking her.

He carefully got himself off the edge and grabbed his shoes, being as quiet as he could.

He sat on the chaise to put them on and looked back at his newly, sleeping, girlfriend.

"Icky, you make me want to be sick." He looked at the voice that had spoken, just in time to see Tikki smacking Plagg up the back of his head,

He grinned at her and Tikki smiled sweetly.

"I think it's lovely. Marinette's liked you for a long time. Well, you and..." She whispered conspiratorially, trailing off at the end.

"Luka." Adrien filled in, getting a surprised nod from the little red kwami. She obviously hadn't been listening to their conversation the previous evening.

"Are you leaving?" Tikki asked, in changing the conversation.

Adrien nodded, beckoning Plagg closer.

"I have a photo shoot at 8:20. Then I have fencing and my schedule's packed tomorrow as well."

He stood up, having finished putting on his shoes, and went over to the desk. He looked back at Tikki and asked her where Marinette's notepad or stick notes were, so that he could leave a message.

She rushed over and pulled a pink polka dot notepad from a drawer, along with a black pen and shoved them towards him. He quickly grabbed both and wrote his message, leaving it on the top for her to find.

He made his way to the balcony and transformed after he closed the entrance window, not wanting the light to wake her.

"Plagg, claws out!" He whisper shouted. Plagg bemoaned not having cheese as he was pulled into the miraculous and they quickly parkoured back to his bedroom window. Arriving just a few minutes before Natalie knocked on the door, telling him to get ready.

Marinette turned over, reaching out for the warm body that she knew should be there. She patted the bed in confusion when she couldn't find anyone.

She opened her eyes and looked around, confused.

"Was it all a dream?" She looked back at the bed and saw a second indentation. Confirming that it wasn't, in fact, all a dream.

She stretched her arms above her head and sluggishly stood up, calling out to Tikki.

"Yes Marinette?" Tikki asked brightly.

"Did you see anyone leave?" Marinette looked around her room again.

"Yeah! Adrien and Plagg left."

Marinette looked at her curiously.

"Plagg?"

Tikki nodded and lead her towards her desk, "yeah! Plagg is the cat kwami!"

Marinette rubbed a hand over her eyes, trying to disperse her sleepy fog.

She looked down when they stopped in front of her desk and saw a note.

"From Adrien?" She picked it up, sitting in her chair.

Tikki nodded and she quickly read it.

Her face went red as she read the compliments and the bit where he called her his girlfriend. It made butterflies start up in her stomach.

She was a bit nervous about the part about Luka, but dismissed her worries entirely when she saw the last line.

She pushed her chair back and spun around squealing, as she saw the number.

"Adrien's number. I have Adrien's number. Oh my gosh! Adrien is my boyfriend! Ahh!" She giggled excitedly and Tiki laughed along with her, happy to see her friend so happy.

Marinette typed it into her phone and saved it to a new contact, still giddy. Now all she had to do was choose a photo for his contact picture. It sounded easy but, when there were so many to choose between, it quickly became a lot more difficult.
