Adrien giggled to himself as he stood with his mother and Nathalie at the airport. Since the day they finally took down Hawkmoth, Gabriel was put behind bars, leaving the company in Valentine's hands, who has shared ownership with her son, Felix. The family of three has lived in overall happiness since that day, although Adrien has been quite lonely since Lain left for Italy. Today that would change, though. Adrien would finally be truly happy with his newly acquired freedoms and new found comfort in a house that used to feel so stiff and stuffy.
He looked towards the gate as he received a notification on his phone about the plane's arrival, his smile getting wider as his mother softly rubbed his shoulder, smiling alongside him. "He's gonna be getting off soon…" Adrien whispered to himself as Valentine giggled a little bit.
"You really do love him, don't you," Valentine commented as Adrien looked at her and blushed a little and crossed his arms.
"Of course I do! Why wouldn't I, he's so wonderful!" Adrien laughed before hearing the roar of suitcases rolling across the ground, Adrien's eyes getting wide as he waited to see his lover walk out and smile at him.
His whole body shook with excitement as he stared at the gate, Nathalie sighing as she tapped his shoulder softly. "Master Adrien, you're getting a little too worked up, aren't you?" She smiled as he just giggled a little bit.
While waiting, people began to notice him more and more, realizing who he was, taking pictures of him from afar, and eventually starting to crowd around him, Adrien becoming very annoyed with the crowd quickly. "Can I have your autograph?" "Let me get a picture with you!" "Why are you here? Are you waiting for a girlfriend?" These questions were repeated over and over, Adrien having to answer them, otherwise his career would go down the shit hole. He sighed as he took a picture with a girl about a year younger than him, sighing softly once he pulled away from her.
He tried to look over top the people around him, sighing when he couldn't see past the giant crowd. But his smile immediately picked up when he saw the familiar blonde hair and tanned skin pushing through the crowd towards him. "Lain!" He laughed as he ran through people, running up to the boy and throwing himself into him, knocking the both of them over.
Lain laughed softly as Adrien held him tightly, kissing him all up and down his face as girls' dreams were once again shattered after seeing the proof of their relationship, rather than just a tabloid photo. "Well, hello to you too," Lain giggled as Adrien laughed softly, starting to get up off him and help pick up his luggage.
"Ahh, I missed your laugh… Come on, let's get going!" Adrien laughed as he ignored the crowd around them now, centering his world around Lain.
"I missed your smile," the taller of the two giggled, wrapping an arm around him as he pulled the rest of his luggage with him. "Ah, hello, Ms. Agreste," Lain smiled as he looked at Adrien's mother, her smile wide as she was almost brought to tears. "Ah… Is something wro-"
"My little baby's so happy, oh, Lain, I look forward to getting to know how wonderful you are!" Valentine laughed as Adrien went red in the face, looking up at his lover as Lain smirked down at him.
The crowd of people began to disperse as they headed out of the airport, Lain and Adrien giggling together as they swung their hands together, rolling the luggage with them with their free hands. "Hey, you got heavier since you last tackled me," Lain stated as he giggled, Adrien laughing softly with him.
"Yeah, I've been working out a little bit… You should see just how ripped my upper body is! Feel!" Adrien explained as he flexed his arm, Lain's eyes getting wide as he stared at the big muscle forming on Adrien's arm.
"Holy shit, how'd you get a muscle like that in just three months?" Lain gasped as he squeezed it softly, the two waiting near the curb for the limo to pull around.
"I've been eating well and working out a lot," Adrien explained as he giggled, smirking a little at his lover. "But there is one muscle that I need some help working out…" Adrien whispered as Lain smirked back at him.
"Well, why don't I help you with that when we get home~" Lain whispered in return before blushing a soft red. "Oh my gosh, it's our home… Ah, we can be like a married couple~" Lain squealed to himself as Adrien rolled his eyes a little.
"I thought you said you weren't the lovey dovey type," Adrien mumbled as Lain laughed softly.
"I know, but… Like, I don't know, it just makes me happy and excited to know I'll be living with you!" Lain smiled as Valentine squealed in front of them, turning and looking at them.
"I know, right! Ahh, I can't wait to live with you, either, Lain!" Valentine giggled as she wrapped her arms around the large boy, laughing loudly as she held him tightly.
"Hey, mom! He's my boyfriend!" Adrien joked as he tried to pry between them, Lain laughing softly as he gave Adrien some wiggle room. "Get off 'em!" Adrien laughed as he broke them apart, Valentine laughing a little as Lain blushed softly, noticing the obvious resemblance between her and Adrien. Adrien was nothing like his father, how could Gabriel possibly be his father? He then remembered how Felix looked and behaved, chuckling a little to himself as Adrien clung to him tightly, mumbling something Lain was too distracted to hear.
"I'm sorry, what?" Lain asked, his cheeks getting a little redder as Adrien looked up at him with such bright, emerald green eyes.
"I said, I love you, dumby!" Adrien repeated, Lain taking a deep breath as he let go of his luggage and squeezed his boyfriend tightly, kissing his cheek a few times as Adrien just giggled, only making Lain want to cuddle him more.
"Dammit, Adrien, you're so stupid-cute!" Lain laughed as Adrien pushed him away a little bit, his giggles turning into laughs as Lain fought his shoves and continued to pucker his lips, making weird faces as he tried to kiss him.
"Is that supposed to be a compliment or an insult?" Adrien laughed as he finally got Lain off of him, his laughter calming down as he took a moment to catch his breath. The long black limousine pulled up next to them, the man driving having gotten out and opened the door for the four of them. Adrien helped Lain carry his luggage into the limo, Lain blushing softly as he felt like he was falling in love all over again. He couldn't believe Adrien was just so… Amazing.
"So our first year anniversary is coming up~" Adrien smiled as he sat down in one of the seat, Lain plopping himself beside the sunshine blonde as the boy cuddled up to him.
"Woah, really?" Lain exclaimed, Adrien looking at him for a moment before giggling and shaking his head.
"That's not very reassuring."
"Oh shush, you, you know I'm bad with dates. When is it again?" Lain asked as Adrien huffed jokingly, lying down in his lap.
"September thirteenth," Adrien smiled as he grabbed Lain's hand, lining their fingers up as he studied just how much bigger Lain's hands were compared to his. He glanced to his side to see his mother looking down, a distraught look on her face as Adrien was quick to worry about her.
"Mom, are you alright?" He asked softly, causing both Lain and Nathalie to look over at her in concern as the woman flinched a little at the question before sighing and faking a bit of a smile.
"Yes, I'm fine dear. Just… having a little trouble getting back into the swing of things still…" she explained, Lain and Adrien easily picking out the lie in her statement, but deciding now wasn't the time to call her out on such a thing, seeing as she seemed to be in a bit of a fragile state.
Valentine still hadn't told Adrien where she was or what she was doing when she had disappeared from home. Three months of being home alone with the momma's boy, and she still hadn't told him anything about it. The guilt was getting to her, as she knew she'd need to tell him what happened, just how bad of a person his father was, and how she finally found where her family was again, what was going on.
Lain and Adrien finished unpacking the newly arrived boy's clothes, Adrien smiling as he stared at the dresser that held both of their clothes in it, finally. Lain wouldn't need to panic about not being able to get dressed for school anymore. It was now just an endless sleepover between them, and Adrien couldn't wait to start spending all of his time around Lain.
Of course, Lain didn't have the exact same attitude towards living together. He was happy he would get to spend more time with Adrien, sleep in the same bed as him, share a room with him, and eat meals with him all the time, but… Lain was the kind of person who needed a lot of alone time, and as much as he loved Adrien, he knew he'd snap at him every once in awhile from social exhaustion.
"Now that I'm back," Lain started before flopping on the bed, taking in the familiar scent of Adrien's sheets, his shampoo, just… Adrien in general. It encompassed him like a warm blanket, holding him tight in a burrito that he never wanted to unravel from. "Time for a nap," he mumbled as he took a deep breath, shutting his eyes slightly as Adrien jumped onto the bed next to him.
"But Lain, I thought you wanted to see my buff as hell chest," Adrien whined, Lain frowning a little bit before hearing the ruffling of Adrien's clothes being taken off his body.
'Ah, I'll just take a little looksie,' Lain thought to himself as he turned his head, looking up at his boyfriend and instantly going red in the face. A four pack was definitely forming on Adrien's stomach, and as his eyes wandered up farther, he would marvel at the way Adrien's pecs seemed to have been more shapely. He looked to see the bulging biceps as Adrien posed a little, smirking at the "dirty" blonde as he chuckled a little.
"You still wanna sleep now?" Adrien asked cockily as Lain turned his head back to the other side, away from Adrien.
"Yep. I'm too pooped out to do any of that right now. When I wake up," Lain mumbled, letting out a huff as he exhaled a deep breath, trying to cool his cheeks down as Adrien sighed softly, flopping down next to him.
"Fine, I guess I'll join you then. Maybe you'll do me in my dreams~" Adrien mumbled as the two of them giggled a little, Adrien deciding to cuddle up under the covers as Lain didn't even have the energy to move anymore, falling dead asleep in only a few minutes.
Adrien stared at him a little bit as he felt like the happiest person in the world to have his boyfriend back with him. He leaned up and kissed the nape of his neck as he snickered to himself. "Dead…" he mumbled as he thought about Attack on Titan, smiling a little. It was unreal how close Lain was now after being apart for so long, the most contact they had in that time being just some short Skype calls before one of them would be interrupted or have to go do something.
"One year…" he whispered softly before reaching his arms around the boy's broad chest, grabbing his hand as he pulled himself close, having missed the warmth his gigantic body produced. "I love you…" he whispered in the boy's ear, only getting a deep, incoherent mumble in return as he turned over, facing Adrien as the sunshine blonde blushed softly. 'Man, I'm so lucky to have him by my side…' Adrien thought before giggling at him a little bit. "Idiot, he left his glasses on," he said to himself and pulled them off, flinching a little bit when the boy snored loudly before Adrien just giggled at him, pulling his glasses off and putting them on a nightstand beside the bed.
"Sweet dreams, my love…" he whispered and kissed his forehead before cuddling up to him, grabbing Lain's hands and intertwining them with his own as he shut his eyes, trying to fall asleep himself.
"Hey, babe, are you alright?" Adrien asked softly as Lain stared at him for a moment, trying to register the question before just nodding softly, yawning a little bit. Adrien got up and jumped over the couch as Lain smiled at him, loving how playful he was. 'We're gonna be adults soon… And hopefully he'll still be like this…'
"Are you feeling okay? You were making some noises while you were sleeping?" Adrien asked as he sat on the bed beside his lover, grabbing his hand and squeezing it softly. "Did you have a bad dream?" He asked, using his free hand to caress his cheek softly.
Lain smiled sleepily and grabbed the hand running along his cheek, touching his soft fingers as he could slightly feel the notches of his fingerprints on his fingers. "Yeah, it's been a reoccurring dream…" he started as his expression changed to a slight distress, Adrien squeezing his hand tighter in reassurance. "I'm Spring again, and I'm running from something, and I'm suddenly swallowed up by this darkness that I can't escape from… Shiri said that it's a sign that something dangerous is going to be happening soon…" Lain explained as he cuddled up to Adrien, his biggest fear being to see Adrien swallowed up in darkness like that. Although, he's already seen in, in a metaphorical sense. He quickly rid those thoughts away, just smiling at him as he was happy to see Adrien become a smiley kid again.
"No need to fear! Whatever it is, we can handle it!" Adrien assured Lain, as if reading his mind as Lain giggled at him a little, Adrien grinning widely at him.
"Ah, I love you," Lain sighed happily, caressing his cheek softly as he gently guided Adrien down, the both of them closing their eyes as their lips connected perfectly together, the two of them smiling against each other's lips as they held the kiss for a little while.
Adrien softly pulled his lips away from Lain's both of them opening their eyes as Adrien gave his lover a narrowed eyed stare, easily conveying all he wanted to say with just that simple look. The two of them were quick to start taking off their shirts, practically ripping them from their bodies and taking a moment to take in the bodies they'd missed out on for such a long time.
Adrien noticed a mole on Lain's chest, one that he had loved to death, one that he loved to stare at, just loving how there were these little things about Lain he could love so much. He noticed a scar on his shoulder too, recalling the time Lain told him about how he broke his arm on the swing set, and just how bad it was, just remembering the sound of the story sending chills down his back as goosebumps were quick to form all over his skin.
And Lain was quick to notice all the little bumps form on his skin, smiling at him as he stared up at his gorgeous face, once again noticing subtle freckles that his hair got in the way of. His eyes wandered to his chest, how broad his shoulders were getting, how much firmer his pecs seemed as he reached up and squeezed them softly, Adrien quick to lean into the touch. Lain took a minute to just… feel his lover's newly shaped body, loving the new features, but, of course, loving the old ones as well. He spotted a few freckles that ran down his neck, loving how small and cute they were. He then softly squeezed the pinkish-brown skin on his chest softly, Adrien letting out a soft breath as Lain noticed the soft biting on his perfect, pink lips, admiring the color before returning his attention to pleasuring the boy. He would have to relearn all of the boy's sweet spots, where he's sensitive, where his new spots were, if any, and his little habits during sex. But it was like riding a bike, you never really forget, it just takes a moment to get back into the swing of things.
Lain's hands slid down Adrien's soft torso, feeling his ribs softly as they worked their way down, happy to feel such things about him again, loving the little things about his body, but especially his personality. How, even though Adrien knew he was faithful, he was constantly jealous of any other guy who tried to get close to him. Or how every time he would laugh, Adrien would smile at him and give him the most in love look he'd ever seen, he'd ever felt. And he absolutely loved how Adrien cared about him so much, always making sure to include him and be with him whenever he could, but also considering Lain's feelings and making sure that he had his alone time. He was the perfect fit to him.
Lain's hands slid over the boy's jeans, Adrien letting out a quiet moan as he felt teased, his legs coming together as the bulge in his pants twitched a little bit. Lain blushed as he found such a thing to be extremely erotic, feeling himself twitch in his tight pants. He worked the belt through the loop hole, slipping it off as Adrien leaned down a little and held him close, nuzzling his face into Lain's hair. "I love you…" He muttered as Lain smiled to himself, just waiting to wake up and have this all be one big dream, as he's never thought he'd have such a perfect boyfriend, such a perfect lover that's so suited to him and vice versa.
Adrien let out a quiet whine once Lain started working around the button of his pants, Lain fiddling around a lot with the button as he watched with hungry eyes, slowly pulling his pants down and revealing a pair of Chat Noir boxers. Lain wasn't able to stop himself from bursting into a fit of giggles, causing Adrien to smile to himself as he held his lover tight, knowing that would get him to laugh as that's all he ever wanted to hear.
"I seriously can't believe you actually bought these, I was one hundred percent joking," Lain giggled softly as he wrapped his arms around the boy.
"Oh, I know. But who wouldn't want a pair of Chat Noir boxers," Adrien gloated as he hugged back, smiling brightly before Lain's hands started falling down his back, sending shivers down his spine while letting out a breathy exhale. "I love how gentle you are…" Adrien whispered into the boy's ear as he felt him tugging his jeans down his legs, Adrien changing positions as they were pulled down his legs and over his feet to be tossed on the floor beside them. The two of them pulled their heads up from the other's shoulder and stared into each other's eyes, for once not seeing lust but just passion for the other. They both quickly locked lips right after, immediately slipping their tongues into the kiss as Lain started to work off Adrien's boxers, smiling against Adrien's lips as he thought about how dumb the choice of boxers were. But he'd love it more than anything, Adrien's sense of humor fitting perfectly with his, which was all Lain really needed.
Once Adrien's boxers were off, Lain took the time to break the kiss, both of them staring at each other with wistful eyes before Lain looked down Adrien's body, having not seen it all in such a long time. In person that is, because, of course the boys would skype each other and do dirty things to themselves while the other watched. But having the real thing sitting in front of him made his heart beat a thousand miles per minute.
Lain slowly started to play with the boy's member, gripping it in his hand and running it up and down the length as Adrien's breaths got quicker, louder, and more erratic. Lain focused on it a lot as he tried to remember everything Adrien liked when it came to this kind of touch. 'He loves when the tip is played with…' Lain thought to himself as he pressed a thumb to the head, Adrien biting his lip before letting out a moan once Lain began moving his thumb in circles.
"Fuck, Lain…" Adrien called out as both of them went red in the face at the sound of such words, Lain smiling as he couldn't believe he was hearing his name from his lover's mouth again. Before Lain could get any further, though, Adrien started to rub his knee to the other's groin, Lain letting out a loud gasp in shock and pleasure. "I can't be the one having all the fun," Adrien whispered as backed away a little bit, undoing Lain's belt quickly. He slipped it off from around the boy's waist and immediately moved onto his pants, not missing a beat with anything he was doing. Clearly, Adrien never forgot what Lain liked, starting to take his sweet time as he pulled the boy's pants down. He stared at the large tent in the dark red boxers with a soft blush, definitely having seemed to forgot how big Lain was. "Holy shit, how does that ever fit inside of me."
The sexual tension was quickly broken with that comment as Lain covered his mouth as he laughed into his hand, Adrien looking up at him as he wasn't able to stop himself from giggling either. Lain's laughter really roared, though, carrying throughout the whole room as Adrien smiled brightly at him, loving to hear such fits of laughter. "Oh my gosh, holy crap, Adrien, I love you," Lain breathed, trying to wind himself down as Adrien nuzzled his head into Lain's stomach, his eyes widening when he felt how much harder it was since they last snuggled.
"And you have the decency to call me out on working out. I definitely feel a cold, hard, six-pack right here," Adrien guffawed as he felt his stomach softly, taking his head away and staring at it as he admired just how nice of a body his lover had. "Jesus christ, that's hot," Adrien whispered as Lain started laughing again, Adrien looking up at him as he smirked a little bit.
Lain's laughter was turned into a loud moan when he suddenly felt a warm sensation encompassing his member through his boxers. He looked down to see a blushing Adrien, softly licking and sucking through the fabric as Lain smirked a little at him. "Guess the- Haa… Panther nabbed his prey- mm…" Lain mumbled as he wasn't able to keep in the quiet moans, taking a moment to catch his breath while Adrien started pulling down his boxers.
Adrien wrapped his mouth around the head as he sucked expertly, having become a hell of a lot better over this span of a year dating Lain. He had Lain moaning uncontrollably already, letting the boy buck into his mouth a couple times, followed by a breath that sounded like, "sorry," each time. It was time for Adrien to pull out his secret weapon, having been practicing this over the summer Lain was gone. The boy took a deep breath before shoving the whole length of it in his mouth and down his throat. He had dedicated a lot of time, this summer, taming his gag reflex. And such efforts did not go to waste, Lain surprised by how long the boy was able to stay at the base, and turning into an absolute mess. His arms gave out as he fell back onto the bed, moaning loudly at how good it felt to have Adrien suck all the way down there while the rest was stuck down at the end of his throat. Adrien rose his head for just moment to get a breath in, Lain thinking he was finished before the boy took it all in once more, this time bobbing his head up and down as Lain panted loudly, letting out loud, higher pitched moans as the pleasure was insane. "Fuck, Adrien, stop! I'm gonna cum!" The boy instantly took his head off as he panted softly, Lain feeling exhausted by such a good blow job with no relief.
Adrien looked at his member and watched as it throbbed with every beat of Lain's heart, knowing it must hurt a ton. "Well, I guess now would be a good time for some fucking~?" Adrien asked playfully as Lain nodded, still trying to catch his breath. "And there's no need to prepare me," Adrien smiled as he loomed over his lover. "I already took care of that while you were asleep~"
Lain's face went bright red as he thought about the boy fingering himself while he was asleep beside him, sighing as he couldn't believe he missed such a show. The thought made Lain twitch up against Adrien's leg, Adrien raising his eyebrows mischievously. "Someone must've enjoyed that image," Adrien giggled as Lain rolled his eyes, his breathing finally getting as normal as it was gonna get at that moment.
"Yeah yeah, lie down already. You're not riding me this time," Lain mumbled, flipping them over as Lain loomed over Adrien this time. The two of them smiled at each other as Lain leaned in for another kiss, their lips connecting and breaking as they slid their tongues around each other. Lain softly rubbed his tip against Adrien's entrance, the boy moaning into the kiss before Lain pushed through, Adrien immediately breaking their lips apart as he moaned. "Fuck, it's been so long!" Adrien shouted as Lain pushed deeper, Adrien grabbing the sheets tightly as he loved the way Lain filled him to the brim. "Sh… it…" Adrien mumbled as Lain pulled out a little, then thrusted back in, Adrien gasping as he missed such movements, not getting the same effect with just a shitty dildo.
Lain began keeping a steady pace, moving himself in and out of the boy as he tried to stop himself from releasing prematurely. It took a lot of effort, though, with the combination of Adrien's pornographic moans, which he loved to death, the erotic sound of balls slapping against ass as he went deeper with each push, and the twitching of Adrien's member each time he made the smallest move was hard not to stare at and admire. "Ah! Lain! Ah, I'm coming! Lain!" Adrien screamed in the pleasure as Lain made one last thrust into him, getting a loud moan from Adrien as both of them released, Adrien's eyes nearly rolling into the back of his head with how filled he felt. The both of them panted softly and stared each other before noticing something they didn't see before they got so caught up in each other. The two looked towards the door to see Valentine standing in the door, frozen with a red face.
"I do not have the proper parenting skills to deal with this," was all she mumbled before shutting the door and walking away, nervous laughter being heard down the hallway as both the boy's turned red once they actually registered what was happening.
"Oh, shit, mom!" Adrien yelled about to pull off of Lain before feeling the boy finally rub up against his prostate, Adrien gripping the sheets as he felt himself get hard again. "Fuck."
"They always manage to walk in right at climax," Lain giggled as he walked out of the bathroom from a nice, hot shower, Adrien sitting on the bed in a pair of shorts and one of Lain's t-shirts that he was ecstatic to wear, covering his red face as he sighed.
"She's not your mom…" Adrien mumbled as Lain laughed, sitting beside him and wrapping an arm around his neck with a hand resting on his shoulder, Adrien becoming reminiscent of Lain's shoulder touches every time he felt anyone's hand resting there. He let out a loud puff as he leaned against Lain's broad chest, the dirty blonde smiling down at him.
"Well she practically will be while I live here. And I'm gonna have to deal with it too. Besides, your mom is chill, she's like my mom, she'll be okay with it," Lain explained as he kissed the boy on the cheek, holding him close as Adrien sighed softly, nuzzling up to him.
"Yeah, I guess… Anyways, I think she came up to say dinner's ready, so-"
"Nice, I'm starving, man!" Lain started getting up, Adrien grabbing his hand as Lain looked back, expecting some cute spouting about he wanted him to stay here with him.
"You're just wearing a towel." Lain laughed softly as Adrien said so, Adrien seeming confused by his laughter, but loving it nonetheless, giggling with him. Lain immediately dropped his towel, using it to dry his hair a little more as Adrien blushed a little, but didn't feel anything sexual towards the situation, starting to become used to seeing his lover in the nude with no sexual context. "Y'know, your body looks really good, you did a lot of nice work," Adrien commented as he lied back on the bed, feeling his wet hair stick to his skin as he let out a deep breath.
"Thanks! I tried really hard to at least get a little buffer. I don't think I'm gonna do much more, though, I don't wanna get too big," Lain explained as he smiled at his lover, getting himself dressed as he looked back at the boy, giggling a little at his stare. "Hey, stop looking, you're gonna get a tent in your pants," Lain teased, giggling a little as Adrien looked up at him.
"I'm not staring at anything dirty, dumb ass, I'm trying to listen to you," Adrien explained as he pouted jokingly, sticking his tongue out at the boy. "Eye contact makes or breaks a bond," Adrien explained as Lain turned once he got a pair of sweatpants on, slipping on a big tshirt over himself as Adrien giggled.
"Well, whatever, stop staring!" Lain joked as he ran over, jumping on top of him as Adrien let out a loud grunt of pain, smiling at his giant boyfriend lying on top of him.
"You're too heavy, get off," Adrien mumbled as he tried pushing the boy off, Lain laughing softly at him.
"Maybe you're just weak~" Lain teased as he stuck his tongue out at his lover, Adrien raising an eyebrow at him as he smirked a little. Adrien roughly shoved his lover off of him and off the bed, Lain letting out a little shout as he fell to the ground, laughing softly.
Adrien sat up and stepped on the boy's face from the edge of the bed, giggling at him a little. "Who's weak now?" Adrien teased as Lain continued to giggle like an idiot.
"Kinky," he muttered under Adrien's foot before licking it, Adrien letting out a loud "Gross!" as he pulled his foot away with lightening speed, Lain laughing harder than before.
As the two laughed together, tears welling in their eyes as their stomachs were growing tired from the tense muscles, there was a soft knock on the door with a quiet creak, Valentine sticking her head in and smiling as she saw them laughing with each other like the idiots they were. She loved her boy's so much.
"Alright, boys, dinner's ready," she tried to yell over them as Adrien looked over at her, winding down as Lain coughed loudly, trying to catch his breath as he calmed down as well.
"A-A- Pfft, ahaha, alright," Adrien giggled out as Lain clung to his leg, softly kissing the soft skin as he smiled up at the boy, loving how light the hairs were that ran down his legs. "Let go, dirt bag," Adrien joked as he tried to yank his leg away, Lain groaning loudly and clinging to it.
"Wow, you really treat your boyfriend sweetly," Valentine teased as Lain looked back at her.
"He's so mean to me~! He calls me mean names and steps on me!" Lain shouted as Adrien laughed with him softly, Valentine grinning widely at the two boys who were bringing new joy to her new life with her family, the family she always wanted to be with but could never enjoy with Gabriel's sudden change. She always wondered what had gotten into him, why he changed so much…
The two blondes finally got up, shoving each other as they walked by Valentine. The two were ramming into each other, laughing as Lain stopped in his tracks, Adrien slamming into the wall as the two laughed louder. Loud stomping could be heard as Felix slammed the door open. "Do you mind! I'm trying to do shit!" Felix yelled before slamming it shut, the couple being startled but just snickering quietly at the fact that they got Felix so angry. What fun that was to see.
The three made their way downstairs, Lain and Adrien starting to calm down as they were around more and more expensive things, but they didn't feel so stiff with a smiling face in charge of the huge house, feeling a little more care free and as if they wouldn't get yelled at for talking. "What's for dinner?" Lain asked as Valentine smiled at him.
"Well, I thought since my new son is coming home, we should have something special!" She explained, Lain blushing softly at the words "new son," feeling very accepted by Adrien's family now. "So, I asked Adrien what you like, and he said he didn't know," Valentine explained as she glared at Adrien jokingly, Adrien averting his eyes away from both of them as he whistled softly. "I decided that maybe lasagna, penne alla vodka, and chicken francese? I'm not really sure of anything very Italian, so-"
Lain started laughing before she could finish, Valentine getting red in the face as she felt embarrassed by the fact that she didn't know anything from his culture. "Don't worry about it, Valentine! It's not a big deal, I eat pretty much everything, anything works for me," Lain explained, the woman sighing in relief that she hadn't embarrassed herself.
"Alright! Then let's sit and eat!" Valentine smiled as they all walked to the large table, Adrien pulling Lain down to his height as they walked.
"Hey, you've gotta one day dirty talk me in Italian…" Adrien whispered as Lain blushed heavily, never having thought Adrien would have a language kink like that.
"Man, and I thought I was kinky…" Lain mumbled to himself, Adrien giggling softly.
"If I dirty talk you in Chinese and you don't get turned on, I'll be surprised as hell-"
"Woah, you speak Chinese? That's so cool, I wanna hear that!" Lain shouted as Valentine looked over at the two of them, watching them sit next to each other on the huge table and thinking that was the sweetest thing. She wondered where she went wrong with Gabriel, wondering if it was her fault, if she was the one to blame for their messy relationship. Perhaps marrying him was the mistake. Maybe having kids. The company was a stress too, she just couldn't help but wonder, which one made him break to the point he would use his miraculous to do evil. She felt around her pocket as she held the pendant that transformed Gabriel into, what used to be a beautiful work of art. She wondered if she could use it to do good, if she'd be able to do anything with it.
Slap! The crack of skin hitting skin with great force resounded through the room as Valentine held her cheek, glaring up at the man she thought she married, she thought she loved, no longer seeing that man, but instead, an evil monster. She'd never been struck by him up until that day, and that was the last straw in their relationship, that one sound, that one feeling, that fear of a person who she used to love being the last thread of the rope to break the thin tightrope they were walking on as they juggled kids and their work.
"How dare you hit me!" She shouted at him, tears welling in her eyes as he just glared at her.
"And I'd do it again too!" He yelled back, his voice holding back all the guilt and regret he refused to show in case of seeming weak.
"Like hell you would!" She shouted as Gabriel took a step closer, Valentine scurrying to her feet as she backed away. "Don't fucking take another step!" She shouted as she glanced at the door, seeing her small blondes watching as she was treated in such a ruthless way. "Adrien, Felix, go back to your room-"
"Her name is Claire!" Gabriel shouted as he grabbed Valentine's arm, the woman quickly yanking herself away as she knew they were both of equal strength.
"You don't know what you're talking about! You think you know everything, well you don't! You just need a way to cope with everything changing around you and you take it out on me!" She yelled at him as she then just let out a short, frustrated scream, about to storm out of the room before Gabriel grabbed her arm again, Valentine turning and quickly removing his hand from her. "Don't fucking touch me!" She shouted at him, storming past the crying kids as she didn't have the emotional stability to comfort them in that moment, only getting to the stairs before collapsing at the top, breaking into tears as Adrien rushed over to her, starting to comfort her and rub her back and try to tell her it was going to be okay, even though there were tears welling in his eyes too. She just wanted what they had again, she wanted to go back to being young and adventuring together with their miraculous, taking trips far outside of the city to quiet towns where they could spend alone time. She was desperately clinging to the memories.
Felix started yelling at Gabriel as well, Valentine wanting to call out to him to stop but just being too weak and emotional to actually make out the words. The arguing echoed throughout the whole house as Nathalie rushed up the stairs, looking at Valentine with worry before hearing Gabriel and Felix getting louder and louder, knowing what was to come if this was to keep up.
"Master Gabriel, please stop!" She shouted as she ran into the room, Gabriel holding Felix by the collar of his shirt as Felix was crying tears of frustration and rejection.
"Master Claire-"
"It's fucking Felix!" He shouted, Gabriel just getting angrier with him.
"You're name isn't Felix, it's Claire! There's no way my genes created a tranny, there's no way your mother's genes created a tranny!" Gabriel yelled as he tossed Felix down, Nathalie gasping as she rushed to the winded boy's side, watching as he began to undo bandages over his chest to get the air flowing better. Nathalie was quick to help Felix out of the room, closing Gabriel's door behind him as all was silent now aside from the sobs off all the Agrestes, all except for Gabriel, as the room was soundproof, none of the noises escaping the doors beyond, what used to be Gabriel and Valentine's bedroom. But now, it only belonged to one, lonely man.
At just twelve years old, Adrien witnessed his mother being struck and his brother being thrown down, both acts by the same man. He would never forgive him for such actions, and neither would any other Agreste. Not until he got what he deserved.
