[It's the het, it makes them susceptible to comas]

[Anyway, sleeping beauty - beauties - are awake, and Marinette's just regained consciousness approximately five seconds ago, only to have something heavy fall on top of her.]

Get---

[She starts to writhe and struggle, until, of course, she notices who's on top of her, at which point she completely freezes up and her eyes go wide]

A-A-Adrien?!

[is she still sleeping]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[the slow blink of someone who is not quite awake yet]

Marinette?

[2+2=4 and he scrambles to try to get off of her when he realizes what position they're in]

Oh, shoot-- I'm so sorry! Did I hurt you? Are you still breathing?

[adrien ... what kinda question is that]

[missmaladroite]

[she's actually not, because Adrien's on top of her, staring into her eyes, and she's gone from coma to dead, thanks]

[She keeps staring even after he gets off of her, choking on air]

A-Adri.....

[Pinch her]

[Give her mouth to mouth, it's the only way]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[oh no he killed marinette?? oh no]

Did I land on you weird? I'm so sorry, I'll bring you to the medba-- [registers where he is. ... right.] I can try to help, just tell me where it hurts!

[missmaladroite]

[Continues choking]

[She's dead, killed by het. Rest in pieces]

A... Ad..... r...... What.....

[What is happening, she's so lost. And also on the floor.]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[HE DOESN'T KNOW THE HEIMLICH MANEUVER OR CPR WHAT DOES HE DO??? SHE'S DYING

he gets up long enough to try to help her sit up, one hand on her back and one holding her hand because he wants her to stay dead, apparently]

Just breathe in and out, it'll be okay.

[adrien flunked all his first aid classes, apparently]

[missmaladroite]

[She stares into his eyes as he does this, face going completely red]

[Okay, she absolutely must be dreaming. Adrien is holding her in his arms, helping her sit, his face so close to hers...]

Adrien...

[Incredible, she said his name. Give her a reward]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[wow, marinette's face is really red. it must be the lack of oxygen. adrien stays close to her face to make sure she is not dying]

Are you feeling better? I'm really sorry I fell on you.

[not that he knows how. or why.]

[missmaladroite]

Where did you.... come from?

[She strung together a sentence, this is just miracle upon miracle here]

[She manages to tear her eyes away from his face momentarily, but only momentarily]

And... where are we?

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[that first question warrants adrien kind of ... shrugging]

I don't... know? I think I must've been asleep. I don't remember falling, only... landing. [winces]

We're in the medbay, I think. At least it looks like it.

[missmaladroite]

[Never let go, Jack]

--Ah! In the underwater base!

[She's starting to form complete sentences, but she's still too transfixed to actually, like, get up or anything]

I... don't remember falling asleep, either.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[he won't unless she tells him you know this he is weirdly touchy-feely]

Hmm. At least this time we didn't wake up in a gift box, right?

[is this the time for your shitty jokes, adrien]

[missmaladroite]

[>Expecting Marinette to protest to Adrien]

[She laughs nervously.... and for too long]

Or at someone's party.

[monsieurchatastrophe]

See? It could be worse.

[belatedly realizing he's still holding her OOPS removes his hands]

Are you alright enough to stand?

[missmaladroite]

[Never let go, Jack.]

[Once he finally stops creeping on her, she realizes she's been lying in his arms for the last like, five minutes, hastily jumps to her feet, and almost falls over]

Y-Yes, I'm right all ... er, all left... er, all right, A.. Adrien... A-Are you...?

[Wrong game, Marinette]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[don't make me cut off his arm again]

[he looks very concerned but stands up too... IS SHE OK TO BE STANDING... he's ready to catch her IN CASE!!]

I'm fine. You broke my fall, remember?

[with ur body]

[missmaladroite]

[Leave Adrien's arms alone]

[Anyway, she is kind of stumbling over her own feet by virtue of being within five feet of Adrien, so he may have to catch her.]

[Rubs the back of her head and does that really awkward laugh again]

Er-- that's right! But, you were sleeping before that, weren't you?

[wait WERE THEY SLEEPING TOGETHER?]

[monsieurchatastrophe]

[no]

I think so? I don't remember being awake, so I must've been sleeping. Maybe we fell asleep at the same time?

[together

adrien consider what you are implying]

[missmaladroite]

[Yes, Adrien, please consider what you are implying???]

T... T..... Together.....?

[She said a word]
