Don't Go…
Adrien knocked on his father's office doors, wondering what was so urgent that he must be taken out of his usual fencing lessons and go to his father's office. So, he stood there, waiting for what was to happen next when he would open those two bland doors that stood before him. Plagg popped out his head from inside of Adrien's shirt pocket and asked, "Aren't you supposed to be at fencing?"
"And aren't you supposed to be quiet so you don't get caught?" Plagg rolled his eyes then stuck his head back into Adriens shirt pocket once more. Just as Plagg did so, Adriens father said in his usual flat tone "come in, Adrien." Adrien opened the door and watched as his father turned to face him slowly, "Close the door." Adrien complied and stood in front of his father awkwardly as the silence that fell between them felt like a lifetime before Mr. Agreste finally broke the silence by telling his son why he was here, "I have brought you to my office for an emergency talk." Oh no, I've done something wrong. Haven't I?
He continued by adding "you have not done anything wrong that I am aware of, so clear your thoughts as this is important and will need your full attention. We have information and enough of it to indicate that your magazines are not selling quite like they use to as you are now being, well, immature in the publics eyes." Adrien registered this information for a while thinking, why would anyone think I'm immature? What indications have I given what so ever to being immature?
His father seemed to read his mind, his facial features had changed into a slightly fearful face as he continued "This is thought because you haven't had any relationships that anyone is aware of or was in any way public. This is damaging your image, all that I ask of you is to find someone worthy and ready for the spotlight that they are about to get. If you fail to find anyone within the next three days, I will choose for you."
Adrien began to wonder what he would do, should he just ask someone out then break their heart when they realise that he was just using them from the start? All for fame? He was snapped back into reality when his father finished their conversation with "That will be all, you will be having a makeup fencing lesson for the one you have just partly missed tomorrow at 4-5. Do not forget Adrien." Adrien nodded and left his father's office ad shut his doors.
Adrien stood outside of his father's office, remembering his father tell him "If you fail to find anyone within the next three days, I will choose for you." Plagg stuck his head out of Adriens shirt pocket and mentioned "So which fangirl will it be? No. 1038 or No.1873?"
"Shut up Plagg, this is serious. My father seems to think it is atleast…" Plagg couldn't help but feel a little bad about the relationship between Adrien and his father, what had happened to the two? Plagg didn't realise that the words were coming out of his mouth until he heard them. He had said "What did happen between you and your father?" Adrien's mouth slightly parted and his eyes started to become glossy with tears.
(Authors note*)
(This is a memory that Plagg made him remember, just remember that!)
(That's it from me)
Adrien ran to his father, joy written all over his face after the day he had just had. After he Nathalie told Adrien that home schooling was done for today, his father decided that they needed to have some fun. So, they when to the shops and got a new toy for Adrien whilst his mother left to go get some new attire.
Adrien decided that he wanted to get a toy plane that you construct so that him and his father could work together on the plane. His father loved the idea and started to tickle him, Adrien couldn't help but laugh and giggle until the whole shop was staring at him!
Gabriel seemed a little worried when his wife wasn't back until four, but was relieved when he saw her walking towards them with armfuls of clothes. His father just laughed and helped carry the enormous amount of clothing she had bought. Whilst Adrien held his new toy airplane in his arms tightly.
Once they got home, his mother dropped the bags and chased Adrien around the house while Adrien placed his toy on the table quickly and ran from his mother with a broad smile growing on his face as he giggled hiding behind the couch.
Mrs. Agreste slowly tip toed to where Adrien was behind the couch only to find he was no longer there. She frantically searched behind the couch to find him, only to spot him standing oon the couch in front of her saying "Roar!" His mother jumped in fright and he hopped off the couch as she stood there yelling after him that she would give him some cotton candy if he gave in, he simply replied by the continuation of running. Kaitlin laughed in response and continued her chase for her son.
-Some time later-
After a while of chasing, which resulted in Adrien being tickled to defeat, Kaitlin and Adrien sat on the couch watching funny videos and laughing until they both fell asleep.
Adrien woke up to find his mother gone and the door left unlocked, he rubbed his eyes tiredly and looked outside to find no one there. He shrugged and closed the door.
-hours later-
Gabriel rushed downstairs to see his beautiful wife and son, only to see his son without his mother. Thoughts clouded Gabriel's head as he thought of the worst, maybe she had just gone to the toilet? He thought to himself, but couldn't help but ask "Do you know where your mother has gone?" Adrien simply shook his head in reply to his question.
His father quickly placed a smile on his face to reassure his son who smiled back at the gesture. They both began searching in silence, Gabriel holding back his tears of fear trying not to scare his son. After they had searched every corner of the house, Gabriel started to text and call her. All seeming to go to voicemail. Gabriel held onto every slither of hope he had that she was at work and couldn't call back until she was finished.
-three hours and a half later-
Gabriel had resulted to sitting on the floor with his face in his hands, Adrien tried cheering him up but all his attempts never seemed to work. He walked over to his father and asked him with a strained voice to hold back the tears "I-Is she gone?" He could only manage a nod as his son continued to question him, "F-Forever?" The tears streamed down his face more fluently as he nodded once more. Adrien's own cheeks covered in water as he registered this new information.
-weeks later-
Gabriel had concentrated his grief into his work and spent every minute of every hour he could to his work, and whenever Adrien came into his office he told him "Not now, son. I'm working right now." Adrien began to get use to this behaviour and just constructed the toy airplane and from then on, Adrien never considered asking his father to play anymore. He got used to the neglection.
