A/N: I finally decided to make this a separate story, because I liked it a lot and thought it deserved to be a separate work.

The reason I made Gabriel a lot more loving is that I crave for Adrien to have the caring father he definitely deserves.

Also I wanted to mention that Alya x Nino part will be kind of a side story to soothe a little your damaged feelings for when the hat ore shit starts to happen.

Adrien is one of the rare type, not the rare good, at least not to him.

Adrien was to his eyes the bad rare type, not because he considered himself being an asshole or just a bad person in general; Adrien thought this way because he hasn't found a soulmate.
Silly right? Well, not exactly.

Things work different, nature works different.
In this world you grow normally until the age of 25 then you don't age (physically) unless you find your soulmate, once you've done that two things happen. First your soul mark appears,(which is like a tatto that normally appears in the back of your hand) commonly it has the form of a small figure like a heart or a star, but it varies; second, every time you see them your mark will start to mildly glow. Then, third, if you haven't realized who it is then your mark starts to burn not too much but uncomfortably so.
Finally, the second more delayed effect is you start aging.

Those who take a long time to find their soulmate are dreamed as 'soulless' by people. These really rare cases; Adrien is one of them, he is, up to date 120 years old and still looks twenty five.(same as his dad, which is fucking weird)
Hundred and twenty years is too old to not have a soulmate, normally people found their soulmates between their 40's and 50's and as for late their 60's, at least that was the standard for normal people.(but certainly not Adrien!)

And he really hates it, not only because he doesn't have someone to love or age with, but because the world is shitty, people are sometimes very shitty. He has seen horrible things through out his life, like horrible wars and the hunger of many people...

Adrien closes his eyes for a minute trying to shake away the pessimist thoughts along with the sick feeling they cause, and concentrate in what he was doing.
What was he doing again? Ah yeah, he was on his way to his fathers office.

Stepping of his trance Adrien walked through the not so unfamiliar extensive halls of his fathers mansion. Making the last turn to arrive, he grabbed the knob and consecutively tuned it, Adrien's father was sitting in his big leather chair; his expression cold and neutral as always.

"Morning son." Gabriel Agreste greeted his son.

"Hello father." Adrien stood there expectantly for a few seconds. "So...you called." He said to quicken his fathers response.

"Certainly," Gabriel paused to gather his thoughts together. "I need you to move in with me again." He dropped the bomb.

"Excuse me...?" Adrien said his eyes big as saucers in surprise, ho-how can he ask something like that he was a fucking hundred and twenty years old! They had already spoken about this merely thirty or forty years ago.(which was a big argument they had because it was totally unfair; Adrien being a eighty year old grown man and not being able to have his own apartment because of his fathers opinions of all people.)

"Temporarily that is," Gabriel said, causing Adrien to let a sigh of relief. "It's just for this season or so." He said a somewhat pleading glimmer in his eyes.

"Ok..." Adrien said enjoying the pleased small smile his father offered. "But then I can return to my apartment, right?"

"Indeed."

"Oh, and one more thing." Adrien said watching Gabriel raise an eyebrow at him and nod. "What does this season have that is so special you need me to stay?"

"Well, I need to make two different collections for two very important shows in the next three months." Adrien's father explain a serious look in his face. "I'm even hiring an designer assistant to help me."

"Oh, I see..." Adrien said thinking to himself this must be really important to Gabriel if he was getting help for designing.
Gabriel looked at the watch in his wrist instantly making a discontented face at the time, he muttered something between the lines 'she must be arriving around now' and tapped his fingers against the table anxiously. "I must be going father, good bye." Adrien said and shortly later he heard an approval grunt from his father.

Closing the door behind him as he exited Adrien decided to go back to his apartment, getting inside his car he started to think about his father. He was so glad how things
were between them.

Sadly they weren't always like this, over five decades ago, Gabriel Agreste showed no signs of caring about his own son. Adrien knew it had something related to his mother's disappearance, at first he thought he was just sad about it, but after 60 years one would think he'd get over it.

Later Adrien began to think he should just accept it and realize that maybe his father didn't love him. That caused the second saddest years in his life, then when Adrien couldn't take it any longer he exploded right in front of his dad.

That day Gabriel did something that Adrien had never seen do. He looked somewhat touched by Adrien's feelings, he apologized and hugged him. Then he told Adrien that at first Gabriel was just depressed due to Adrien's mother leave, but after some time when he started to get over it he realized that his relationship with his son was completely broken or so he thought.

Things only got better after that, they started to spend more time together and actually talk, enjoy the holidays they could together (because Gabriel Agreste was still a busy man), and practically began to be more like a family.
That's all Adrien wanted since he was a kid.

Adrien arrived to his apartment in merely twenty minutes and found himself mildly surprised to find Nino, Adrien's best friend, sitting in his couch playing video games.

"Nino!" Adrien said. "What did I tell you about playing 'Dungeon dominator' without me?"

It is been a month since Adrien finally told Nino his chronological age(since he doesn't really like telling anyone about that) and he just won't shut up about it.

"Oh, come on it's just too good to resist, besides people your age are to old to be playing video games." He mocked the blond man that had joined him sitting in the couch as well as in the game. Adrien frowned at his comment still smiling.

"If I'm too old how come I always win?" Adrien said making his friend laugh.

"No, I'm gonna win this time!" Nino said knowing deep inside that he had no chance of beating Adrien.

"Want to bet?" The blond man suggested jokingly, not expecting his best friend to comply.

"Hell yeah!" Exclaimed Nino searching through the games battle option. "Bring it on grandpa!"

"Okay then," Adrien said thinking for Nino's punishment for when he looses. "if I win you have to be a pizza delivery guy for a week in 'Piper's pizza'"

"Damn! That's awful." Adrien smirked at his friends response. "Dude you know I hate that place." Adrien chuckled at this.

"Anyway, if i loose then what?" That was totally impossible, but he gave Nino the benefit of the doubt.

"Correction; when you loose you'll have to be a waiter at my aunt's cafe for a week."
Adrien glared at Nino, that was a real dirty move.

"Dude!" Adrien said hitting Nino's arm slightly. "You know what happened last time we went there." Adrien may or may not have accidentally spilled all his coffee over Nino's aunt.

"Come on it would be freaking hilarious seeing my aunt make your life impossible." Adrien rolled his eyes while Nino laughed. Then as he was about to start the game, he looked at his friend and asked. "Deal?"

"Deal." Adrien smirked. "You are so going to loose."

"In your dreams old fart!" Nino said his fingers moving fanatically over the buttons of the controls.

It turns out that unsurprisingly Adrien beat Nino by far making the later one groan to his hands once he realized what awful punishment he'd have to go through.
Nino got up from the couch and yelled.

"I demand revenge!" He said raising one hand to the air. "Double or nothing!"

"You mean to tell me that you will work part time at the pizza place you hate the most for a whole month?" Adrien said raising an eyebrow.

"Y-yeah..?" Nino's enthusiasm flew out the window in seconds. "But if I win you'll have to do the same and work at the cafe for a month."

"Very well," A mischievous grin appeared in Adrien's face as he drank his raspberry and vodka glass. "Prepare yourself for the worst month of your life."

That's when Nino knew he fucked up.

After Nino left, still sour about his lost bet, Adrien decided to check his mailbox and opened the small metal door separating him and the several paper envelopes only two of them not being bank offers or advertisement.

One of the two envelopes was a letter from Françoise-Dupont high school, and the second one had no name.
Weird was the first thing he thought about that letter, not knowing that letter will change many things in his life, some for good others for bad.

For now Adrien will have it easy and delay the opening of the second envelope and opened the first one.
Adrien smiled bursting in happiness as he's been offered a job as physics high school teacher, that's something Adrien has been dreaming of many years before masters in physics, maybe even before his mothers disappearance.

Adrien yawned in exhaustion and decided he would read the other letter after packing his things in order to stay the next three months or so in his fathers house; sadly after this he fell soundly asleep.

Chaos would have to wait a little more.(before literally fucking up things.)
