"I take after mother." Adrien said happily.
His mother was the light of his life. When she disappeared, the house was not the same. His father was not the same. It was hard. He didn't know what to do with himself after she left. So he tried to make her his role model, act as she would have. Because he knew the things his father said and did weren't good. Weren't right. His mother would have been so disappointed in his father.
"She would have liked you." he decided.

Yang glanced up. This was the first time Adrien had mentioned his mother. Of course, the whole city knew that Mrs. Agreste had mysteriously vanished some time ago. Even Yang, who tended to stay away from that sort of thing, knew about it. She hadn't even thought about how Adrien must feel about that. Yang had lost her parents, but at least she knew what happened to them. Adrien had no closure for his mother, and it was probably eating him up inside. "If she's like you, I probably would have liked her too," she said.

Adrien's smile became a little more gentle. The two important women of his life would have gotten along so well. He only wished he could have seen it happen. It was a shame. For now, he would take what he could get. He would make the most of every day he had with Yang. If there was nothing his mother's disappearance taught him, it was that you didn't know when your time with them, might be your last.
"She would have teased us." he said. "And she would have gotten my dad to come around to the idea."

"Maybe we'll just have to leave your dad out of the equation for a little while, until we figure out how to deal with him," Yang said. It seemed like the logical solution. She and Adrien could just do their own thing, be careful with who saw them together so his dad wouldn't find out. Yang hated the idea of him discovering the two of them and causing more trouble for Adrien. She'd do whatever she could to make sure she didn't cause him anymore strife.

"Good idea." he said.
The date at a restaurant would have to be one, where Adrien paid for discretion. He decided that wherever he went, he would buy the whole place out for not only the privacy, but so staff wouldn't gossip. Maybe Nevermore. Yang worked there, but he could always order food from somewhere else. Heaven knows that the staff at Nevermore wouldn't talk and they could use a break... Maybe? Plans for later he decided.
"It's getting late though." he whispered. "And I don't think the nurse wants to walk in on us... You should probably get some sleep too."

Adrien seemed to like the idea of keeping their relationship a secret. Of course, there was still the question of what exactly their relationship was. Were they dating now? They did kind of set up a lunch date. And they had held hands for a long time. But were they actually a thing? Yang didn't know, and she wasn't sure how to figure it out. She didn't want to say anything that might ruin what she and Adrien had. "I don't know if I can sleep. Every time I close my eyes..." Flashes of the nightmare she had had earlier ran through her mind. They always made her heart race and her stomach churn. And they took a long time to shake off. But, she couldn't keep Adrien here all night. And he did have a point. Any nurse or doctor who walked in her would probably flip out at seeing him. "I'll try," she said. That was all she could promise. She'd do her best to try and get some sleep.

"I can stay until you fall asleep," he offered.
If it would make her happy, he would fight Thrax and Cinder himself. She said the word to jump and ask how high. He didn't want to weird her out with that though, so he was going to take things slow. She already worried his father was going to try to put things to a stop before they started. His fault. And the nurses or the doctors.

"That sounds good," Yang said. She knew she should probably let Chat go and do whatever he needed to do, but the greedy part of her just wanted him to stay a little longer. Being with him made her feel a little happier and lighter, and she wanted to hold onto that feeling for as long as she could. "Now I got my own little Robin Hood looking out for me," she said jokingly. Really, she felt like that was what Adrien was, even if he had pushed her away and made her upset for a long time. She forgave him for that, and knew that he was truly a good person inside.

"That makes you maid Marian." he said.
He motioned for her to lay down and get comfortable. He stepped away, only for a second and pulled up a chair. While he was up, he picked his mask up off the floor and put it in his pocket as well. He didn't want to leave too much evidence behind. Just on the safe side. But he sat as close as the chair would allow to her bedside. When he sat down, he took Yang's hand in his own once more.

Yang blinked. Was that Adrien's way of saying they were romantically involved? Sure, they had joked about that in the past, with Yang even saying maybe she was Maid Marian/Little John hybrid. But now, it felt like she had a different context. Now probably wasn't the best time to think about it though, especially when she was tired. She laid down on the hospital bed, trying to relax as Adriein's hand wrapped around hers. She could still feel it with her eyes shut, and she could even hear Adrien's soft breathing if she listened hard enough. She tried to focus on those and not anything else. Maybe if she only thought about them, they'd fill her dreams instead of Thrax.

Adrien rubbed his thumb against the back of her hand. He sat silently for a moment, but then began to hum softly, a nameless tune his mother used to sing when he was a kid and he had a nightmare. He liked it when she dealt with his nightmares over his father. His father would have sneered, told him to suck it up and sent him back to bed in his room on his own. His mother would gather him up in her arm, croon some old song and gently run her hands through his hair until he drifted back off to peaceful sleep. Maybe the humming would help Yang.

Yang could hear Adrien humming softly, and although she had no idea what the song was, she found the sound comforting. She didn't know if it would make the nightmares go away, but at least it was something she could use to push them back. She had lots of tools she could use now: Adrien's humming, his smile, the feel of his hand around hers. She wanted to keep looking at him, but her eyes felt so heavy. She reminded herself that she'd see Adrien soon, that he'd never abandon her again. That thought was enough to put her mind at ease, and she soon fell asleep, her hand still lightly gripping Adrien's.

Adrien waited until he was absolutely certain she was asleep. It was harder to do than he thought, since he was so dead tired himself. Once she was off peacefully, he eased his hand away from Yang's. It felt significantly colder without her grip. He bit his lip before he removed the bell charm from his neck. He placed that in Yang's hand. So when she woke up, whether from a dream or from a nightmare, she knew that he had been there. To remind her that their talk had been real and that he would be back for her.
"Goodnight Yang." he whispered.
He quietly made his way to the window before he climbed out on the ledge and scaled down - the same way he had gone up. His fatigue was catching up to him. By the time he made it home, he removed his suit, hiding it in the hidden box under the floorboards, under his bed. He fell flat onto his face, not even bothering to get underneath his own blankets. He too fell asleep quickly.
