Goodnight Marinette

"Goodnight Marinette. I love you." Adrien's words dance in her head as she stared at her phone in shock and awe. Did Adrien Agreste, fashion model, heartthrob, one of the sweetest guys she knew, her crush just tell her he loved her?

It was too good to be true. It was a reflex. He was half asleep. He couldn't mean it… could he?

"Goodnight Marinette. I love you." He hung up shortly after uttering those words. Probably out of embarrassment. He told her he loved her for crying out loud!

She sighed as she rolled over and checked the time. 4 am.

"Marinette?" Tikki floated beside the phone. "Maybe you should go back to sleep."

Marinette blinked. "I can't. Adrien told me he loves me! And I don't know if he meant it or not."

Tikki smiled sweetly. "I'm sure he did mean it. But, you really need to get some sleep."

Marinette smiled softly. "I'll try." She then flopped back down onto her pillow and shut her eyes. Her face turned red as she realized the whole conversation started because he had a nightmare too… and SHE was in it… and HE wanted to make sure SHE was alright. Her eyes flashed back open. "Tikki, I can't sleep!" she wined. "I can't get my mind off Adrien."

Tikki smiled, shook her head and rolled her eyes. "What's new?"

Adrien buried his face into his pillow and groaned as Plagg laughed his head off.

"You, you told her you love her!" Plagg burst into another fit of laughter. "Kid you are too much."

"Shut up Plagg!" Adrien's muffled voice scolded.

Plagg calmed down and landed on the back of the blonde's head. "Hey, she didn't reject you."

"I hung up before she could." Adrien wined into the pillow.

Plagg rolled his eyes. "Maybe you're over reacting. Maybe she feels the same."

Adrien's head flew up from the pillow. Plagg floated beside him.

"We have nothing in common." Adrien pouted. "How could she love me back when we don't share any common ground?"

Plagg rolled his eyes again. "You both like video games." Adrien's eyebrow questioned the Kwami. "You both are trying to impress/get the attention of your father. You as a son, her as an aspiring fashion designer." Plagg continued. "You're in the same class. Both of you are tired of Chloe, but who isn't? You both like helping people. And you both like Jagged Stone." He smiled devilishly. "And one more thing."

Adrien was blown away. Plagg did care and he was paying attention. "And what's that?" He crossed his arms.

Plagg nodded. "You are Chat Noir and she is Ladybug. You too are best friends. You have a special connection. You've got me and she has Tikki."

Adrien smiled and rolled his eyes. "I thought you said how could I be in love with Ladybug?"

Plagg crossed his little arms and rolled his eyes again. "That's because the girl under the mask is more interesting."
