Mangled Heart - ;), we shall see

Dark - Thanks, just entering FF writing

Thanks for Reviews yall, I will try to update frequently.

Adrien quickly shoved the cans into his bag, occasionally throwing a wary glance towards the checkout. He could feel the disapproval radiating from both Dusuu and the brooch, but he ignored it.

With a bag full of miscellaneous canned food he pulled his hood further over his head and wandered towards the exit, with a box of blueberries and a candy bar in hand. He gave the bored cashier a hidden wary glance and sprinted for the exit. He ignored the startled shout behind him and began sprinting for the alleyway, limp pronounced with every step. He suddenly darted sideways, escaping the enraged employee through a familiar maze of alleys and streets.

He was immensely grateful for painkillers by the time he reached Le Paon Orphanage, though his hip still stung slightly. He carefully limped up the creaking stairwell. The door groaned upon opening, and he carefully closed the door behind him.

The kitchen was empty, thankfully, though he could hear talking in the dining room. He carefully began storing the cans in old cabinets, trying to keep from pulling his stitches. Two cans were left by the stove, and the candybar found its way to his back pocket. With that done, Adrien wandered into the dining room

Alex and Vince sat across from Alexis, helping with maths homework upon closer inspection. With a quick examination of the problem over the duo's hunched shoulders, he examined the problem.

"You gotta carry that five, kiddo." he commented, enjoying the shocked start as they all quickly looked up at him. They all excitedly shouted his name, and jumped to hug him. He met each readily, scooping them up in a squeezing embrace. He let them squeal for a moment, before dropping them back to the floor.

"Where is Nathalie?" he met eyes with each member of the trio.
"She's taking a shower, said she'd be out soon." they chorused, reluctantly taking their previous positions around the table. He gave them a nod in thanks, before turning and heading upstairs.

He quickly glanced into the bedrooms, taking note of a sleeping Emilie and a sleepy Andrea. With a soft smile, he wandered into his and Nathalie's shared bedroom, dropping his bag at the foot of the bed. With a muffled groan, he dropped to the cot against the left wall, relaxing into the stiff fabric.

He almost fell asleep when Nathalie entered the room, her hair still wet but braided over her shoulder. He gave a sleepy nod as greeting, reluctant to move now that the painkillers had worn off. She gave a slight glare, likely due to his choice of resting place. They usually swapped taking the bed, though she had forced it on him the past couple days due to his injury.

"You need proper rest, Adrien, I know how hard it is to sleep on that thing." she warned, gently helping him from the cot on his raised hand. He lightly pulled her downstairs, limping heavily despite Nathalie's support.

The dinner table was almost full, with an excited current in the air. The smell made his mouth water, and he knew he wasn't the only one. His thoughts were broken when Emilie walked into the room with a flourish, a large pot in hand.

Once she set the pot in the middle of the table and sat down, they all began singing Happy Birthday to Andrea, who seemed ecstatic to have a dinner with everybody. Once they finished singing, Emilie gleefully doled out hearty servings of canned stew. Everyone, though eager, waited for all the bowls to be filled.

The air was filled with moans of approval and earnest compliments towards a blushing Emilie, who stared at her bowl to avoid eye contact with anyone. The conversation shifted, with friendly jeers and insults were thrown back and forth.

When they finished with dinner, they passed their gifts towards the eight year old with a shocked expression and tearful blue eyes. Adrien gave her the candy bar he stole and a beanie, which earned him a suffocating hug. Alex and Vince gave her a pair of gloves and a scarf respectively, both making some joke about getting cold, both receiving a weak punch and a thankful squeeze. Nathalie and Emilie worked together and got her a set of sapphire earrings and a necklace, which sent her into a sobbing mess, as she clung to both of them joyfully.

Once she finished crying, they headed to bed, leaving Adrien and Nathalie to clean dishes and store leftovers. They continued in silence, working in tandem washing and drying. It didn't take long, but his hip burned merely from standing that long.

Nathalie helped him up the stairs, where they tucked the others to bed before stumbling into the bedroom. She let him take the cot, though she sat on it and pulled his head onto her lap. She began to comb her fingers through his hair, watching Dusuu eat blueberries on the dresser. She began quietly singing, a rare event. Adrien drifted to a pleasant sleep with a ghost of a smile on his face.

So we get some of Adrien's home life. Nathalie is the owner of Le Paon Orphanage, which is not doing so well. Adrien shoplifts! Dusuu doesnt approve, neither does Nathalie. Next time, Heroes Fu
