A/N: Hey, Y'all! So, this series only has a couple more installments until it stops. I may come back to it later if I feel that Hawkmoth gets pushed around again in the continuation of the second season *Gives writers of the show a death stare* but for now it's coming to an end. Hopefully, you'll stick around for other writing things I'm doing; I'll be able to write a lot more when Summer comes around too. However, I know that some of you have just clicked onto this due to the fandom, and it's perfectly fine if you don't care about the other stuff. As I've already posted in a different A/N, I'm working on a My Hero Academia drabble series, but I'm also writing some random Prisoner Zero drabbles, and might also end up starting a new Miraculous series for Nino(because come on I gotta give my boy some love). Anyway, with announcements out of the way, A huge and loving hug of attention to Song of Shadow and MoonlightMystery13.3 for reviewing. I I can't thank you guys enough. And now, without further adieu - Atune your ears... to the grinding gears... (Major kudos to you if you get the song reference)
Major spoilers for S2 of Miraculous Ladybug! Remember to Smile, because it's a good day to be alive.

Warnings: Um... Hawkmoth worries about his son?
Inspiration: Adrien's quote combined with Gabriel's reaction not strictly to it, but in the moments after when he's clearly mulling it over in his head.
Adrien's words drifted back to Gabriel as he stood, thinking.
It'll be too late then. Weren't there so many things that would be too late when time had passed? Such a precious thing, so wasted by people. Was it also too late, to properly connect with his son?
And the ring, oh the ring. Gabriel placed a hand on the desk to steady himself. If Adrien was Chat Noir… what could he do? He could march to his room and demand to see it, but even if Adrien was in his room this time, he wouldn't give it up without a fight. Chat Noir was already sure that he could not give his Miraculous to anyone, and Gabriel couldn't fight- he could never hurt Adrien… the last remaining connection between him and Emilie. And if he didn't, well, he could never hurt Chat Noir with his villains again. He had to find him, had to shield him, had to protect him - he had to know if-
Gabriel sighed, and descended into his akuma room. He transformed, already knowing who his target would be. With Adrien's bodyguard akumatized, he knew it was only a matter time before Adrien was found, that he would finally know, once and for all.
Gabriel breathed a sigh of relief. They had been together, Adrien and Chat Noir, in the same parking lot. He was relieved, and tired. The movie in that theatre - He knew what Adrien had been trying to ask now.
"I suppose I can't keep your memory away from him forever, Emilie." He spoke aloud to the silent room. "I suppose he deserves to know." And, with that, he went upstairs, to see if maybe, just maybe, it wasn't too late to form a relationship with his son.
