Chapter 5
In the evening Nathaniel and Lila sat together in the terminal near other passengers waiting for their boarding call to their plane, which currently was being prepared for the last flight.
Nathaniel wore a neck cushion and was surfing on the smartphone at the same time Lila was reading a traveling magazine about the Greek country.
"There are so many interesting meals Nathy" Lila mentioned showing the husband the page with the various dishes in the magazine.
"I never knew Baklava was Greek" Nathaniel mentioned. "Oh Tiropita seems interesting. Is that some sort of pastry or….."
"Yeah, filled with cheese and egg mixture as it says here" The brunette pointed it out to Nathaniel, which nodded.
"Is it lactose-free?" The orange kwami asked, which was inside the pocket of Lila's jacket.
"It doesn't say it here anywhere" Lila answered seeing Trixx dropping the ears. "Don't worry, there are lots of foods you can try out"
"Why are you interested in trying out human food?" Nathaniel asked the fox kwami.
"I can tolerate anything a human does….except milk products"
"So….just like a real fox?" Nathaniel asked earning a nod from the kwami. "What about chocolate and coffee? I heard it's toxic to foxes"
"Okay we can't have coffee, because it turns us really, really hyperactive"
"I think this happened to Karaa once" Nathaniel mentioned looking down at his jacket, where Karaa looked out at his owner nodding.
"It tasted awful for me anyway"
"I like coffee" Lila mentioned. "But the Lila Rossi style!"
"You mean Lila Kurtzberg style" Nathaniel corrected making Lila shake her head.
"From today on, anything new will be called like that. The coffee was done before I met you. Who knows, maybe I'll invent something today and who knows, that will then be called the Greek Lila Kurtzberg style…..that doesn't fit a bit thought. We'll see about that later"
"You always managed to find something, Lila. You always did"
"You're the sweetest Nathy" Lila complimented pecking him on his cheek, leaning on his neck cushion. "You're still going to sleep in the flight, right?"
"Maybe?" Nathaniel answered. "How many hours are there? 4?"
"Yes, well we're gonna arrive at midnight and we've been awake since 5 am"
"You woke up that early?" Nathaniel asked surprised earning a nod from the woman.
"I went to the toilet in the middle of the night and afterward I couldn't fall asleep and stood awake at that time"
"I'm glad I can wait the whole night without going to the bathroom. I need every second of my sleep" Nathaniel warned making Lila chuckle.
"Don't worry, we still got plenty of weekends in front of us to be resting together in bed every morning" The wife mentioned nudging her nose on Nathaniel's.
"Life's going to be perfect" Nathaniel added afterward he shared a hug with Lila.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, flight AE1563 with destination Santorini is now ready to board. Please hold your ID's and boarding cards or digital boarding cards ready"
"I think we should start to queue behind the others" Lila mentioned earning a nod from her husband, which got up along with her and joined the group of people that stood in front of the desk in front of the gate.
Adrien stood along with Kagami and his younger sister Hope in front of the mirror in the bathroom brushing their teeth together.
"Bwush a little hawder" Adrien mumbled gazing down at his sister, which moved her toothbrush a little slow, but harsher than she was doing before. "Good"
Adrien and Kagami rinsed their mouth with water and passed one after the other the toothbrush under the open water tap and Adrien looked back at his sister, which spits out the water she took from her plastic pink plastic cup, then she grinned at Adrien showing him her teeth.
"Good job" Adrien complimented the girl, then held the young girl his hand out to help her down the small stool she was standing on, then walked out into Adrien's bedroom afterward she ran off Adrien's hands as on the flatscreen TV appeared a movie trailer with colorful characters singing.
"Next month it seems like I have to take Hope to the cinema to watch this movie," Adrien said glancing at Kagami, which left the bathroom behind him.
"Isn't that a sequel?" The Japanese woman asked earning a nod from the blonde.
"Yeah, well I could show the first movie a few days before we go to the cinema. I have also no idea what the movie is all about"
"I feel like it's one of those movies, where the studios waste all their money just to get very famous people voicing the characters"
"Maybe, I know Dustin Timberwolf is in it and I haven't seen him doing a voice-over ever since" Adrien pointed out noticing the trailer was over, then he grabbed Hope from under her arms and took her on his arms.
"It's bedtime Hope" Adrien mentioned making the girl sad.
"But I'm not…..tired," Hope said while yawning making Adrien furrow his eyebrows at his sister knowing she was.
"You're interested in listening to a bedtime story?" The blonde asked the child, which nodded and Adrien walked out of his bedroom along the corridor to the end of it, entering the next bedroom, which was Hope's decorated with pink and white furniture and leaned to the wall was Hope's castle-themed bed with stairs going to the top of the head, where she had different types of plushies sitting on it gazing over the bedroom.
Adrien glanced at the amount of plushies his sister had gotten from her parents over the months and he picked up a tiger plush and handed it out to his sister, who just had lied down on her bed. Adrien covered the girl, then sat in front of her thinking about what story he should tell the girl.
"I'm really stuck with having an idea" Adrien mentioned, then his kwami Plagg appeared to see, where Adrien was and gazed down at the little girl.
"Why don't you read a book?" Plagg questioned the holder.
"There are lots of books I could read her, picking one is hard" Adrien answered, soon Longg the dragon kwami appeared to see Adrien and Plagg together with the girl.
"Do you need help with anything, Adrien?" Longg asked.
"Maybe coming up with a story idea?"
"What about a superhero story?" Longg suggested.
"What about a less complicated love story between two superheroes?" Plagg asked making Adrien furrow his eyebrows.
"How did you get that idea?" Adrien asked.
"I don't know. It just came" Responded the black kwami followed by the blonde agreeing with his choice.
"Good, I might have something in mind," Adrien said looking down at the girl embracing her plush, followed by Adrien placing his hand on her forehead to caress it. "I'm going to tell you about two superheroes, that were in love. Their name is….Hydra and Onyx. Hydra is a dragon-themed superheroine and Onyx is a cat-themed superhero. Onyx knew Hydra's secret identity, since he was the one, who gave her the task to help him assist him saving Paris. Onyx began to wonder if it made sense helping her deal with her private life issues and offered her himself to chat with him, whenever she felt the need. He began to visit her alter ego on the rooftop of her house, understanding her and slowly beginning to develop feelings for the girl. Both of her sides. On the other hand, Hydra has no idea, who Onyx is, but she slowly starts to have theories, of who he was. Hydra began to feel attracted to the masked superhero, enjoying every second of his company, whether it was out of the missions or on her rooftop. One night after a mission both stood on the top of a roof and Hydra had destransformed back into her civilian self and she thanked him for his support. Onyx promised her, that no matter what she has his full support. With a lovely smile, Hydra approached slowly her superhero friend and kissed his lips. Even though Onyx's transformation dropped after he passed his transformation limit he kept his posture, afterward both opened their eyes and the girl noticed, that Onyx had been her neighbor, which she was befriended with since they were young kids. Hydra was happy to know, that the boy she was in love with was her best friend. She couldn't be happier"
"Sweet" Longg whispered as he noticed Hope had fallen asleep. Adrien smiled and pecked his little sister on the forehead, afterward he walked out of the bedroom closing the door carefully.
"The story needed a little action for my taste" The cat kwami mentioned, making Adrien chuckle.
"Maybe" Adrien answered. "I just told, what I could come up with"
"Sure," Plagg said. "She fell asleep and didn't get the shock of her life. So it's good"
"Yes" Adrien agreed. "Come on guys, it's bedtime"
"Bedtime?" Plagg asked. "I'm staying awake" Plagg complained flying away entering into a dark room, which was vice versa to Hope's room. Adrien shook his head and walked the corridor back to his bedroom, spotting Kagami sitting on his bed reading a letter.
"Is that an invitation?" Adrien asked sitting down next to his girlfriend, which nodded.
"There's going to be a fencing tournament next month. Mr. Esgrime gave me the letter, thinking we might be interested as it is going to be in Paris this year" The blue-haired woman explained showing Adrien the letter.
"Cool," Adrien said. "Should we participate in it?"
"If you want to" Kagami answered. "It's been like four years, we had the last tournament back in Germany"
"Yeah and I could definitely success this time at the tournament" Adrien asserted making Kagami giggle.
"You have practiced a lot since our last tournament. You're going to win without any problem" Kagami assured the boyfriend caressing him on the cheek. "Just don't lose your focus"
"I'm winning it this time, I promise," Adrien said sharing a kiss with the girlfriend, then Kagami got up on Adrien's lap falling on top of him placing her hands over his chest while smooching with the blonde. Adrien gazed afterward surprised at his girlfriend as she moved her head up smirking at the blonde, which was confused at the situation.
"Did a cat eat your tongue?" Kagami asked making Adrien shake his head.
"No. I…..wasn't expecting to see your uhm…...wild side"
"We got plenty of time until your parents are back from Milan. We should take advantage of this. Come on, you don't need to be afraid of it"
"I'm not afraid, just…..a little insecure….."
"Don't worry about it. Everything will go just fine" Kagami assured. "We have enough time to overcome it"
"Yeah, you're right" Adrien mentioned smiling as Kagami tipped with her index finger on his nose, afterward she planted her lips on his shoving her hands under his head passing her fingers between his hair locks, fondling them causing the boyfriend joy.
