Marrinettes POV:
"MMmmmmmmm, my head"
I toss and turn in my bed, the gleam of the morning sun not helping with the pain.
I reach up and stroke the side of my head but find nothing, no marks or tender skin.
But i feel sore, I stretch out letting my legs rub against the bed sheets.
Suddenly a sweet smell fills the room, my eyes shoot open and I sit up.
A sharp shock hits my lower back and I fall.
“Fuck fuck fuck!!!”
Why does my back hurt?
I think to myself, reaching down my back.
And where’s that smell coming from.
I turn over and read the clock. 7:27.
I turn back to look at the sun as it paints the morning sky and dim orange and a hazy yellow and sharp red over the window.
Ignoring the pain I throw the covers to the side and slowly inch my way through the bedroom door. 
The smell of bacon tickling the tip of my nose.
“Who’s cooking in my apartment?”
I ask myself, peeking over.
A mess of hire standing over the stove as a ploom of smoke covers him. My heart jumps into my throat.
 Slowly walking out from the corner and walking over the the stove
(Reader)? 
I ask out loud.
He turns with a smile, his cheeks rosei red with a gleam in his eye.
“Morning beautiful”
A toothy grin with a hot plate of cakes.
(Reader)!!! I jump out and take him in my arms, the plate  nearly flying out of his hands.
Then quickly pushing him back, looking him dead in the eyes.
“Where the hell have you been, i've been trying to call and text but you never-”
Before I could get another word out, (Reader) pulled out his phone.
Shattered screen and melted sides with chard corners.
“Wha..what happened?” i asked
“My battery blew up, rare really but it does happen. I wanted to call you but your number is saved on my phone and I haven't remembered it by heart yet.”
He steps closer, setting down the plate. His arms wrapped around me.
“Is this my welcome home gift?”
“W..what” I ask looking down.
A sudden shock comes over me.  The cold draft that I ignored hit with full force.
Where the hell are my clothes!?!?!?!
“S..shut up!!!” I say breaking away and running back and slamming the door behind me. 
My face burns up and I clock the door behind me.
“Is that no?” he called out from the kitchen.
A small grin crosses my lips.
I look around the bedroom and feel my blood run cold.
The sheets were torn and ripped. The sheets soaked and twisted.
Last night?
A flash of memories come flooding back. My hands shake and I feel my knees go weak.
I hold my hand over my mouth.  Afraid that (Reader) comes bursting in.
“It ...it didnt...i didnt...did i?”
A knock at the door shakes me awake.
“Everything ok there?”  (Reader) calls out from the door.
“Ya just give me a second”
I call back out and jump to my feet.
I take the covers and sheets and clothes and run over to the closet. 
Quickly thinking I take the blanket and cover the bed and toss the pillows, making it look as if the bed was made. 
“Forgetting something” a small voice calls out.
I turn to see tikki hovering over the door knob.
I feel her cold eyes looking over me. 
“Tikki look away!!!” I whisper and scream.
She rolls her eyes and turns. Quickly jumping to my closet I pull out some jeans and a shirt. 
And jump back to the dresser for the rest.
“Please tell me i didn't do what i think i did last night”

(Readers) POV:
Looking down at my phone I can't help but think back at the ritual.
I'm just glad she bought the lie about my phone's battery blowing up.
“You know you're an idiot right?” plag says looking over my shoulder
I knew what he was talking about.
“You mean because of last night?” i ask
“No shit, you just became something akin to a god and the first thing you do is come back and screw your girlfriend” he gives a small and slow clap. 
He was right, I hate it but he's right.
I look down at my hand and see small black hair grow and fade.
“You need to go back to Mr.Fu”
Just as Plagg finished talking, the bedroom door opened.
A rush of footsteps echo behind me and soft arms wrap around my chest.
“I missed you” is all she says. I turn and hold her in my arms.
“I missed you too”  silence falls over us and I peek over her head to see plagg flying into the bedroom.
A low growl fills the room and marrinette breaks away.
“Sooooo whats for breakfast?” she asked.
We sit and eat and talk as if we haven't seen each other in years.
She talks about school and alya and how she's growing. How she hopes alaya will make her the godmother. But I feel a pit grow within me, knowing it's my fault that the kid is going to grow up without a father.
Before I knew it the glow of the morning sun faded as a low roar of thunder caught my eye.
I looked over and for a second I saw the bright flash of white.
“Looks like it's going to rain soon, we should  head out and get you a new phone.”
Marinette said taking her plait to the kitchen.
I looked at my melted phone over on the counter and thought, maybe just maybe.
I stood and walked over and picked up what was left of my phone.
Over the top a small slit peered open and I pinched it with the tip of my fingers.
As I pulled it out, relief filled my heart.
The memory card wasn't so much as touched.
 “Come on lets go before it rains.” she called out by the door.
“Coming” I called out as I pocketed the chip and swung past the door.
A low crack rang under my hand as I gripped the handle.
I sucked my teeth as I looked at the now cracked door handle.
“Son of a bitch” I cursed under my breath.
Locking the door, I followed down with marinette.
The dim glow of the sun faded as we walked and talked.
Her hand in mine, her grip strangely  strong.
“Everything ok?” I asked looking at her.
She rolled her eyes away from me and looked at the sidewalk as we turned the corner.
“Ya i..i just missed you is all” she said with a light kiss on my cheek.
I felt my face burn up as she pulled me along. Before I knew it we made it to the shopping mall and made it in just as it started to rain.
Marrinette still holding my hand.
“I missed you” her words ringing in my ears as if she just said them.
I knew she did, but something was still off
We walked into the nearest electronic store and thanks to the money that i had saved up i was able to get an upgraded new phone.
I paid and we headed to the food court and got marinette's favorit.
Cream filled crepes with nutella and strawberries.
Yet something was wrong. She looked somberly at her crepes, as if she wasn't sure if she even knew what she was holding. 
“Hey you ok?” I asked again.
She looked up surprised as if she just noticed me sitting in front of her.
“Ya, everythings great.” she said smiling again and devouring her crepe. 
Something was wrong and she wasn't telling me.
