It felt too weird to call him the gorilla for the whole thing so I decided on Sebastian as a random name, it seemed to fit. First french deployment of ground troops in Afghanistan was in November of 2001 the euro replaced the franc in 2002. I hope you enjoy, please give me feedback thanks
It had been another long day at work, the Gorilla was tired and frustrated. He lumbered through the door of his flat and dropped his jacket over the back of a chair. He wandered back to the kitchen. David was waiting for him, he had a cup of tea ready. "Tough day, Seb?" he asked.
"same old story" Sebastian "The Gorilla" Singe replied. Even after all these years the softness of his husband's voice still surprised David. It wasn't the deep bass rumble that people expected of him but a smooth baritone.
"Adrian needs his old man" Sebastian continued "I want to help but I don't know how, it's my own damn fault, when his mother was around I didn't need to be involved and after he already saw me as a force rather than a person, I want to talk to him but he isn't open." The words came spilling out of him; it was Davids personal opinion that all the time that Seb spent silent and professional filled him with thought and words that needed to be let out. He was glad of it, he loved to listen to his husband talk. He knew that Sebastian needed it too. Sebastian pulled out an old french franc and began to roll it over the back of his knuckles. The coin had been in Sebastian pocket almost fifteen years ago when he had been deployed in Afghanistan, it was obsolete now, the Euro had replaced it during his first tour but it was lucky.
"Its okay" David tried "If Adrian knew how much you really cared. . ."
The Gorilla looked up, He didn't think he deserved David, the thin tall man was so caring and patient, his hours were long and painful, But David didn't complain, As a bodyguard he got tied up in the life of his charge but David was willing to listen. But then the thought of his hardhearted employer shatered his reverie. "Gabriel Agreste" he muttered "that man uses his son shamelessly and can't spare any time for him. If it weren't for Adrian I would quit." The Gorilla was getting angry, David knew that it was a necessary and healthy thing. But then a glowing black butterfly fluttered in through an open window and landed on Sebastian's coin.
Hawkmoth's slick smile slid of his face, he had made a mistake. There was anger and hate aplenty, but no selfishness to prey on. No weakness or surrender. Genuine righteous anger was so rare that the villain had no idea what to do with it. the connection to the target shattered and hawkmoth was thrown back.
The akuma left the coin as suddenly as it had appeared, the dark purple butterfly was caught immediately between two finger as thick and heavy as lead bars. It was crushed and thrown aside into the gas burner that had been heating the teapot. It crumpled and burned as if it had been any other butterfly.
"Be patient" David advised, pretending not to have noticed the sudden and strange scene "If he ever needs you, you will be there. That's enough for now"
