Gabenath Oneshots [Discontinued And Completed]

Adrien Finds Out

Chat Noir watched helplessly as Hawkmoth and Mayura retreated. He runs over to the body of his fallen Ladybug. Some blood dripped from her mouth and her body, limp, was pulled into his arms. 

“Please, m’lady, you have to fix this,” Chat begs.

“M-miraculous ladybug,” she manages to whisper.

The city is reset and she has to admit that she feels a little better. 

Their jewelry beeps, they don't have much time.

“Can you manage by yourself?” He asks carefully.

“I’ll be fine,” Ladybug insists. 

Chat nods sadly but helps her to her feet. She struggles at first, falling back into his arms. She pushes herself up again and regains her balance.

Chat Noir can only watch as she wipes some of the blood from her chin. She almost stumbles again but manages to keep her balance this time by herself. 

“I’m alright,” she swears. 

“See you later, Bugaboo,” he winks with a small smirk only hoping to make her feel better.

“Claws in,” he commands, landing in a vacant alley.

The kwami that comes out is happy to immediately receive some Camembert from his owner.

“Nathalie,” the voice sends shivers down his spine, he recognizes the distant voice, “I can’t keep doing this to you.”

Adrien peers his head around the corner and sure enough, Hawkmoth and Nathalie are standing there together. He had hoped it was a Nathalie whom he had no familiarity with but the woman there was undoubtedly the Sancoeur woman he knew. 

“Plagg,” Adrien says, ready to transform again.

“I don't think she is in danger, kid,” Plagg points out, realizing that Nathalie isn't trying, even in the slightest bit, to get away from the villain.

“It's not a choice you get to make,” Adrien hears Nathalie tell the villain, “it was my choice, and I don't regret it.” 

“I don't want to hurt you,” Hawkmoth says as he brings a hand to her face.

“And you won't,” Nathalie tells him as she lays a hand over his, “I would do anything for you, no matter what, and even now.” 

“No,” Adrien gasps, “They can't be-” he can't even bring himself to finish the sentence. 

Plagg rolls his eyes, “it looks like your father's assistant has a new boyfriend.”

Adrien runs away not wanting to accept the fact in front of him. There is no way Nathalie would associate with such a man, let alone date him. He must be manipulating her. Why would she say that she would do anything for him though? How strong was his manipulation? It didn't make sense but Adrien concluded that Nathalie had to love Hawkmoth, somehow. 

He storms into the room where he knows he can find Nathalie and his father. Gabriel kneels in front of Nathalie and she lays, almost limply, in a chair. Their fingers are interlocked on one hand. Nathalie’s other hand is gripping the armrest of the chair. Gabriel’s other hand is resting on the woman’s knee. 

“How could you Nathalie?” Adrien cries out, trying his best to stop tears from coming to his eyes.

“Adrien, you have no right to burst in here and talk to Nathalie like that,” Gabriel tells his son. He lets go of Nathalie, so he can stand up, this wasn't how he had raised his son to act.
