Vanished (Lukadrien) • Miraculous Ladybug

Chapter 32 | hold me, Luka

The second he got that call he was out the window, jumping over the rooftops as Viperion rushing to Adriens apartment as fast as his legs could carry him. He didn't know what was wrong, but he was clearly upset and needed company.

Landing on the balcony and de-transforming he opened the sliding door and rushed in.

"Adrien!" Luka called out.

He could hear panicked sobs from the lounge area and skidded down the hall toward them. He found his boyfriend absolutely breaking down on the lounge room floor by the window, Plagg desperately trying to calm him. His spoof toward his boyfriend fast enough to make him slip as he sat down in front of him, quickly wrapping his arms around the crying blonde and giving him a tight squeeze.

"It's ok, it's ok. I'm here, I've got you" he reassured, Adriens tight grip making him slightly short of breath.

He'd never seen Adrien like this before, he'd seen him upset a lot due to his shit home life but he'd never seen him this hysterical.

"Shhh, calm down, deep breaths I've got you ok? It's just me and you alright?" Luka assured.

Adrien tried to calm himself, but his breath was still shaky and the tears kept falling. All he needed was to be calm enough to explain what happened, he could still cry as much as he needed. Plagg had taken his kwami friend sass aside to explain the situation, and from the expression on the tiny snake Luka could tell it was serious.

"Adrien what happened, please tell me" Luka asked.

"M-my dad... he lied to me about everything" Adrien sobbed.

Well that was obvious. Everyone was aware his dad was awful, but clearly there was more to it if he was breaking down like this.

"About what?" Luka asked.

"He- he causes everything. He's the reason Paris is always in danger! He's hawkmoth Luka, my dad is Hawkmoth. I don't even recognise him as my dad anymore he's just... a villain"

If the shock hit Luka like a ton of bricks, then he couldn't imagine how Adrien was feeling right now. As his he didn't hate his boyfriends sorry excuse for a father in the first place, that hatred was burning rage hotter than the sun now.

"How did... wait what happened? How do you know?" Luka stammered, breaking the hug to talk to him face to face.

Adrien took some breaths to calm himself enough to explain, his eyes red and vision blurred with tears.

"Nathalie found me. She was just here a while ago, she said she wouldn't turn me in because she finally realised she was just as guilty as Gabriel... she wanted to explain everything to me and give me one of the twin rings to prove she was really sorry and wouldn't turn me in. But I wasn't expecting the truth to be so painful, my whole life I've been living one massive lie. I don't even know who I am anymore..." Adrien rambled, in between sobs and sniffles.

"She knew the whole time? And kept it from you? What made her suddenly change her mind?" Luka asked.

Adrien shrugged, with the storm of emotions he was feeling right now, confusion was a big one.

"Sweetheart I know it's hard but I need you to calm down as much as possible. I don't want you to get akumatized right now ok? He's hurt you enough, I don't want one of his filthy akumas touching you" Luka said.

Adrien gave him a pained look, one more thing he had to confess sitting in his mind. He wasn't sure if he could, he felt sick just thinking about it but he had to do it.

"Luka... I want you to keep the ring. For safekeeping" Adrien said, slipping it off his finger and putting it in his boyfriends hand.

"Why?"
