Note: Sorry it's so short. I'll write more soon. Promise.

Adrien sat in Dr. Fu's office, picking at a loose strand on the couch. He sighed and licked his lips as he searched his head for a lie.

"How have you been? Still hearing Plagg or is he officially gone?" Dr. Fu held Adrien's chart on his lap as he stared at the man on the couch.

"He's gone." Adrien cleared his throat as he got lost in the thought of what Marinette could be doing without him. "I've been good."

"And your father's assistant has not brought you any pills or anything else that we should be aware of?" Dr. Fu stared at him harder and watched for any slight change or twitch to signal that Adrien was hiding something.

"Nope. Same ol' same ol'. Comes in. Talks about how much I'm failing. How worthless I am. How I'm only there to model for him… and then they just leave." Adrien shrugged as he held his arms against his chest.

"And how does the fact that he does not approve of you or believe you make you feel?" Dr. Fu wrote something down and waited for him to answer him again.

"Awful. Like I'm here for no reason. Like I'm stuck here because he doesn't get it. Although, what am I going to do about it." Adrien ran his hand through his hair and tugged on it. "How can you fix something that is forever broken? How can you fix someone who doesn't want to be fixed? How do you make someone believe when they don't? How do you-" He grabbed his hair in his hands and rested his elbows on his thighs. "How do you make a father who doesn't love you… has never loved you… love you." He tried to hide the tears that were beginning to fall onto his jeans, darkening the color.

"I think… I think sometimes we hurt. And… sometimes that hurt can make us close up. Make us close our eyes and not see what is really in front of us. Your father does love you, very much so. He may not seem like it, but in the end… you're still his son. He doesn't like to see you hurt. He-"

Adrien flashed a glance up at Dr. Fu. "You don't know him. He's not like that. The man hardly hugs me. The man never tells me he loves me. He tells me I'm- perfect. Tells me to act like an Agreste when he lacks manners himself."

"Just know that your father is hurting too. Now-" Dr. Fu pulled out the bottle of pills that Adrien had thrown. "Why don't you tell me about how your father's assistant hasn't brought you gifts, hm?" He held the bottle up in the air and shook it, causing Adrien's complexion to pale.

"Shit." Adrien cursed under his breath.

"Next time? Lie better." Dr. Fu pocketed the pills again. "We're not going to separate you two. We know that only makes it worse, but I am working on building a case so that your father and his lovely assistant can no longer visit you until you are fully in control of your actions. It seems that you are still struggling to see how skinny you truly are, Adrien. How you are slowly, yet quickly, killing yourself."

Adrien swallowed hard and brought his fingers to his lips. "I'm fine."

"You're not fine. You may lie and say that you are… but we all know that you are not. Now, Nurse Bustier is on her much needed vacation. I know that you do not particularly get along with Nurse Mendeleiev, but I need you to behave." Dr. Fu stared into Adrien's eyes for a moment. "Do I make myself clear?"

"She's the one that has issues with me." Adrien swallowed hard and stared at Dr. Fu with an irritated expression. "The woman tried to tie me up every moment she got. She never let me out. Shoved me against the walls to get in my face and yell at me to just stop being crazy. Knocked me out with sedatives every moment she got. Yanked me down the hallways to solitary or the cafeteria. If you want me to be nice to a woman like that?" Adrien scoffed and bit his tongue as he set his jaw, shaking his head. "I'd say you should be admitted to this hell hole that you've created. Rot in the castle that you've created as this fake oasis." Adrien spit the words at Dr. Fu and watched him flinch. "You think this place is some vacation home for us and it's anything but! But how would you know! Hm? How would you know when you sit in your office all day and look over it like you rule the place and only care about the money that comes pouring from it's fiery pit!"

"Adrien…" Dr. Fu gave him a warning tone and watched Adrien get up from the couch.

"If you really want to help us? Then listen! Listen to what we actually say! I told you ages ago to not let my father and his assistant in here. Yet you couldn't even FUCKING be bothered to hear me out. They make me worse! Most of us are in here because of our parents, friends, or family! How is seeing the people who made us here in the first place, help us to get better? It does the opposite! It just results in pills and sedatives. If you want to fix us, Dr. Fu? Truly want to?" Adrien searched Dr. Fu's surprised gaze for a moment with quivering lips. "You fucking let us work this shit out without our parents, friends, or families here. None of us like the feeling of letting them down. NONE OF US." Adrien flung open Dr. Fu's office door and walked away right as Dr. Fu raised his finger to speak.

"I guess we're good for today." Dr. Fu whispered as he watched the door close.

000

Adrien shook his head as he walked down the hallway, anger filled his veins. He stopped for a moment and punched a wall in his anger before he sank to the floor. No one was walking down the long dark hallway and he let his emotions wash over him as he got the courage to stand on trembling legs. He wiped his eyes with the back of his hand when Nurse Mendeleiev caught him.

"You need to go to your room, Adrien." Nurse Mendeleiev ignored the fact that it was time for him to technically go to snack, but he didn't mind not eating. "We don't need you lurking in the hallways. You already scare everyone in this facility as it is."

Adrien grit his teeth and dug his nails into his fists at her words. "Excuse me?"

"I'm not going to repeat myself. Go to your room." Nurse Mendeleiev led him back to his room and shoved him inside before she closed the door.

Adrien stumbled along the tile and slowly peered up to see a shocked Marinette. "Hi." Adrien awkwardly smiled as he ran his hand through his hair.

She got up and walked up to him, running her thumbs beneath his swollen eyes. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Just tried to talk some sense into Dr. Fu. And Nurse Mendeleiev shoved me here so I didn't scare people." Adrien rolled his eyes and nuzzled Marinette's hands. "I'm okay." He raised his right hand up to cover her left one as he warmly smiled at her. "Broken, but I'm okay."

Marinette let her hands slip into his soft hair as she embraced him, resting her head on his shoulder. "I'm glad you're okay. That they didn't lock you away from me."

"They can't keep me away from you anymore. I won't let them." Adrien kissed her cheek and wrapped his arms around her.

"Good because I won't let them either." Marinette sighed and hugged him tighter.

"He did um… find the pills." Adrien swallowed hard and Marinette shook her head.

"But! I no longer get to see my father or his assistant." Adrien sighed as he sat down on his bed, bringing her into his lap. "So, that's a win I guess." He shrugged and Marinette wrapped her arms around his neck to hug him closer.

"I wish you could still see him though and not get upset." Marinette swallowed hard and captured his lips with her own.

"I know. Me too." Adrien deepened the kiss, turning his body to lay her down on the bed. He climbed on top of her as she pulled him by his shirt, running her tongue along his.

Adrien softly moaned as he rolled his hips. He broke the kiss and smirked at her. "Missing snack? So worth it."

Marinette burst out in a fit of giggles and gently smacked him in the bicep. "You're terrible and you need to eat."

"Later. Right now I'd rather indulge in the beautiful woman in my bed." Adrien softly laughed and stole a kiss from her again as he sank into her, forgetting everything around them. Forgetting the screams coming from outside their room. Forgetting that they were still trapped in hell.
