Miraculous: One Shots

Scary spider

It was a peaceful day in the mansion, Nathalie was answering emails and organising files and Gabriel was busy designing a dress for the upcoming gala and he was planning to ask Nathalie to be his plus one.

The peacefulness was broken, when Adrien burst into the office, "look, it's my turn to take care of the class spider for the weekend" he shouted. Adrien showed his father the spider and he enjoyed seeing it crawl around in it's cage.

Adrien went to show Nathalie the class spider as well, but as Adrien got closer, Nathalie started walking backwards, until her back was pressed against the wall, "A-A-Adrien, take that s-s-spider to your room" she said in a shaky voice.

Adrien didn't question her odd behaviour and he took the spider to his room. Once the spider had left the office, Nathalie calmed down and she sat back at her desk.

Gabriel stared at Nathalie for a few seconds, wondering why she was walking away from a spider. he wanted to ask her, but it would just seem rude.

A few hours later, Adrien ran into the office, "I left the cage open and the class spider got out" he screamed "don't worry Adrien, he couldn't have gone far, but will keep an eye out" Gabriel reassured him.

While Nathalie was doing her work, she hoped the spider would come nowhere near her, but as she was typing on the computer.

She saw Adrien's spider crawling on her desk and she quickly ran to the other side of the room. Gabriel noticed Nathalie's strange behaviour again and this time he was going to find out what was wrong.

"Nathalie, you've been acting strange all day, so do you mind telling me what's bothering you" Gabriel gave her a concerned look "that" she was now hunched up into a ball in the corner of the room and she pointed at her desk.

Gabriel walked towards Nathalie's desk and he saw Adrien's missing spider. Gabriel picked the spider up and he went to give it to Adrien.

Gabriel returned back to the office and he now realised why Nathalie was acting odd.

Gabriel leant Nathalie his hand and he pulled her up from the floor. "I didn't know you were scared of spiders" he spoke "it started when I was seven, I was helping my mum clean the kitchen, when I noticed something on the counter, so I poked it and millions of spiders came out and they crawled all over my body, I fainted from shock and I had to have an operation to get rid of the venom, so I've been scared ever since" she told Gabriel her story.

"I'm sorry for your experience, would you like to come to the upcoming gala with me as my plus one" Gabriel offered "yeah, but I've got nothing to wear" Nathalie replied "don't worry leave that to me" he gave her a smile.
