this chapter was a bit harder to write but unfortunately problematic fave is still the fave.

I did have fun writing out the genes that Adrien inherited from his dad though. Uber Doober Observant pun making dumb ass Agreste Clan is what I live for tbh.

Also a big thanks to my partner in sin Ptolemeia, who helps me when i am stuck an encourages this


part 04

Gabriel had surprisingly slept in. He needed it considering the events of the day before. Frankly despite being able to have kept calm, he still felt a horrendous amount of anxiety which had made it even harder than usual to sleep which meant shifting in bed until three am.

"Hey father, where is Nathalie?" Adrien asked putting his head through the door frame and the door.

"She's with her husband." He replied groaning. "Don't you have something to do?"

"Nope. I don't think so." Adrien said walking. "How come you aren't at work?"

"It's none of your concern." He replied pulling the blanket over his head. He was too tired to deal with anything at the moment.

"Can I nap next to you?" Adrien asked.

"Only if you plan on actually napping." Gabriel said moving to the side.

Adrien smiled and crawled in next to his dad. "Sleep tight…" He mumbled.

"Watch out for bugs… although you'd probably get excited." Gabriel muttered.

Adrien's eyes widened. He looked at his dad's sleeping form and then at the wall. He blinked once and then twice. He looked at his dad again.

"What's that supposed to mean?" He squeaked in terror.

"I know about your weird crush on Ladybug." Gabriel groaned pulling the blanket down. "Son, please nap. I am tired."

"Why? Not to be rude, but you're too much of a workaholic to skip work." Adrien said covering himself.

"Me and Maria got attacked by an Akuma, and frankly I'm too tired to actually go back." Gabriel replied. "Now sleep boy. We'll order something for breakfast later."

Adrien nodded and lied down next to his father and for once listened to him.


Maria felt like shit. Those were the best words to describe her emotions at the moment. Her mind kept replaying the scene that happened yesterday. It literally mad everything worse in her opinion. She figured her lust would dwindle after being in such a scary situation but no.

It had gotten worse.

Much worse.

Because now she wanted him so much more.

And she knew what it was like to have her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck, now. And those thoughts that were once really bad became so much worse.

She really felt like shit.

She was also slightly upset that she could enjoy a bit of the moment. She was also pissed, because this was her ASSHOLE BOSS. The same guy who wanted everything perfect, was incredibly strict, and had no qualms telling you that you sucked. He was also the same guy who would stay late with them making sure they would meet the deadline, who apparently told really bad puns at really bad moments, and who had a smile that she was pretty sure could cure cancer.

And back she was to feeling like shit.

How the hell could the man have so many mood swings and still somehow convince everyone in the room that he had more finesse than the fucking mayor of Paris.

She also thought about the fish tank man. It terrified her to no end that he had come specifically for her and she could feel her body shake at the though. It tried to kill her. She had a feeling that the person under there was not someone she wanted to face again anytime soon.

She took another deep breath and then looked at her phone. She figured that she could call her mother today since she hadn't spoken to her in like a week. They were probably all worried anyways.

Picking up the phone she began dialing her parents.

Ring.

Ring.

Ring.

"Bueno?" She heard her mom say.

"Hey mom." She greeted.

"mija! Oh my gosh how are you?" Her mother asked.

"I'm good. I actually got a day off today. Then tomorrow it's back to business." She said.

"You're grandma is here do you want to say hi?" her mother asked.

"I'm good, I was just checking on you guys." She replied. "How is everything?"

"I'm fine, Arturo was already nominated for valedictorian at school and most of the teachers are rooting for him. Did you know he's senior class president?"

"No I didn't. Do he, Manolo, and Ezekiel go to the gym still?"

"Yes! Manny was chosen for the junior Olympics with Juan! Zeke is training to go next year. Can you believe the games are going to be held in France this year?"

"I'm excited. I'll try to have my vacation days around that time. Hopefully I don't have any major projects due. Right now with fashion week finally being over we finally have some time to focus on our 1920s project. Ugh. I have to do so much sewing."

"How is that going?"

"It's fine. One of the groups messed up one of the main dress, so I have to redo that. My boss was being a bit of a jerk, but with him it's expected."

"Speaking of men."

"We weren't but okay."

"Have you met any?"

"Ugh mom… No. I am busy focusing on making myself happy. I don't have time for anything more than a casual one night stand."

"Sweetie, you can't tell you mother that there isn't a man who doesn't pike your interests? Eh?"

"Ay pues, I guess."

"Who! Mommy wants all the details."

"ugh… Say nothing to no one or I am not calling anyone for a month."

"I won't tell, Mija."

"Well, I kind of have the hots for said jerk of a boss."

"Mija, He's like three years younger than your own father."

"This is not the oldest man I've considered sleeping with mother."

"Who was that other one?"

"Robert Carlyle. But you gotta admit, for a man in his fifties he's pretty freaking hot."

"I have my Mexican, so no. He isn't."

"Sure mom. But anyways, it's not like anything is gonna happen. He only talks to me when it's work related. Other than that I'm not too involved in his personal life."

"Isn't he married?"

Maria rolled her eyes. Her mother was about to go off on her for absolutely nothing.

"Mother, he's a widow. It was international news. He has a kid but that's about it. Adrien's about Zeke's age."

"So you're close with the kid?"

Maria took a deep breath and then looked at the floor.

"He likes to hang out with the designers on his free days waiting for his friends. He asks me a lot of questions since he's curious. He only started talking to me because he saw my anime keychain."

"Mija… maybe you shouldn't be so close to him. People might start…"

"Mom! Nothing is happening with me and his dad. I'm only physically attracted to the asshole and I talk to the kid because he reminds me of my brothers. Other than that I don't approach them. I have to go. I need to work on something. Bye."

"Bye."

Maria was fuming. She knew her mother had meant well but in the end it reminded her of why she had easily accepted the offer to work in the main firm in France when she had been offered the job. Her family didn't trust her decisions. Despite her rather childish nature she had always been more level headed which made it easier for her to let things go.

"I should get lunch." She said to herself. "Oh wait, it's breakfast time."


Adrien felt proud as he and his father walked down the streets. No one recognized them thankfully and he hoped it could remain that way. He was still surprised his father even agreed to spend the day with him, but he figured that since he had no work, no Nathalie, and no motivation it was easier to convince him to do things.

He was still surprised his dad owned a pair of Jeans though. He never really thought that his father actually knew what denim felt like.

"So where are we going?" Gabriel asked, still obviously tired. That Akuma must've done a number on him if the man was that tired.

"The Bakery. They make some of the best food there ever!" He exclaimed. "A friend of mine is the owner's daughter."

"Which friend? Hopefully not that Nino boy." Gabriel said.

"Dad, Nino is a boy." Adrien sighed.

"Oh." Gabriel said with a shrug.

"It was the girl who won the bowler hat competition." He said.

"You mean the one you touched longer than Necessary?" Gabriel asked hiding a smirk.

"EH?" Adrien replied turning red. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"You're not very touchy feely, son. Anyone can spot that you touch her than is a bit more necessary." Gabriel said with a shrug. "But why did we have to walk."

"You need to be a normal person for a day." He replied.

"I am not a normal person." Gabriel deadpanned.

"Well since you aren't working today, you're a normal person and normal people spend time with their children." Adrien said. "Plus, you owe me for several things."
