One day Adrien is having a super bad day, like he misses an important test because of a photoshoot, and gets in trouble for not having his head in it, and then gets into his first big fight with Nino, for like the first time ever.
And he just reaches his breaking point. He runs out of school, he needs to be somewhere where no one will see him cry, because he needs to keep up an image for his father. Plagg isn’t with him (probably still in his locker or something) to protect him.
So Adrien brakes down in a closet somewhere, blinded by his hot tears, feeling his chest, neck, and head on fire, but the rest of his body hopelessly numb. His knees are too weak, and he’s just a crumpled heap on the floor, trying to quiet his sobs so that nobody finds him.
Now, Hawk Moth’s window opens… He can sense the despair and pain, he feeds off of it, he waits for his next victim to be revealed. And it’s Adrien.
his son
He’s taken aback… why was Adrien sobbing in a closet? How ridiculous to ask a question he already knew the answer to. Because he’s Hawk Moth. He knows exactly what caused Adrien to break down. And it was him.
How did he not see he was tearing his own son apart?
How did he not see how neglectful he had been?
How had he not cared?
Hawk Moth bows his head, there’s a part of him that’s deeply ashamed… not sure if it was for him or his son… But he decides to not Akumatize him.
When Adrien gets home from school, he isn’t met by an empty house, or even Natalie. Gabriel Agreste is there. Waiting at the bottom of the stairs.
Of course, Adrien would be on guard, thinking he was probably in trouble. But then his father would ask, slightly awkwardly, in a tone Adrien isn’t used to, “How was your day?”
Adrien won’t respond… he’ll be stunned. Could his father actually be interested in how Adrien’s day went?
After a pause, Gabriel would clear his throat softly, and say, “We… haven’t talked in a while. I cancelled my appointments for today… I’m here to listen…”
And Adrien’s would try to hold back the sobs that started to build up again in the back of his throat, and his hands would shake slightly. Mr. Agreste would hesitate for a while before slowly approaching his son and pulling him into an awkward hug.
And that would be all it takes to send Adrien back into a sobbing fit, and he’d cling on to his father for the first time in a long time.
But there’d be a single dark thought in the back of Gabriel’s head… how easy it would be to use his son… a perfectly trained and obedient soldier… that could get him the miraculouses so easily…
And just ughhhhhnnn…. I think about this a lot…
