Miraculous: One Shots

Playing the piano

Adrien sat at his piano, waiting for Nathalie to arrive to start their music lesson.

Five minutes into the lesson, Nathalie arrived in her pyjamas and robotic crutches, with a cup of coffee in her hand, "sorry I'm late Adrien!", she apologised.

"It's ok! Just take your time, you look tired!", Adrien stated, "I'll be fine! Just start with your warm up and then I'll teach you the new piece" she took a sip from her coffee.

Once Adrien had finished his warm up, Nathalie sat next to him on the chair, moving her fingers on the keyboard, teaching him the new piece.

During their music session, Adrien and Nathalie could hear someone singing a beautiful melody. They slowly opened Adrien's bedroom door and they were shocked to see Gabriel singing.

Once he had finished singing, Nathalie and Adrien clapped in amazement, causing Gabriel to flinch as he turned around.

"you've got an amazing voice! Father, if I play a song on the piano will you sing to it?", Adrien asked, "only if Nathalie sings with me" Gabriel smiled at her.

"WHAT! I can't even sing!", Nathalie defended herself, "don't lie! Nathalie, I can hear you singing in the shower every morning, you have a beautiful voice", Gabriel commented, causing her to blush bright pink.

All three of them were now in Adrien's bedroom, Adrien was sitting in front of his piano and Gabriel and Nathalie stood next to each other.

Gabriel chose the song 'favourite crime' by Olivia Rodrigo and as Adrien played the notes, Gabriel and Nathalie sang in perfect harmony.

Gabriel: Know that I loved you so bad
I let you treat me like that
I was your willing accomplice, honey

And I watched as you fled the scene
Doe-eyed as you buried me
One heart broke, four hands bloody

Nathalie: Those things I did
Just so I could call you mine
The things you did
Well, I hope I was your favourite crime

You used me as an alibi
I crossed my heart as you crossed the line
And I defended you to all my friends

Gabriel and Nathalie: And now, every time a siren sounds
I wonder if you're around
'Cause you know that I'd do it all again

All the things I did
Just so I could call you mine
The things you did
Well, I hope I was your favourite crime

Nathalie: It's bittersweet to think about the damage that we do
'Cause I was going down, but I was doing it with you
Yeah, everything we broke, and all the trouble that we made
But I say that I hate you with a smile on my face

Gabriel and Nathalie: Oh, look what we became
All the things I did
Just so I could call you mine
All the things you did
Well, I hope I was your favourite crime
Your favourite crime
Your favourite crime
'Cause baby, you were mine

They stared into each other eyes for a moment, until Adrien broke the silence, "you guys sound amazing!", he commented, "let's do another one" he enthused and Gabriel and Nathalie didn't turn down the offer.

Nathalie picked the song 'bejeweled' by Taylor Swift and Adrien started playing the notes to the song.

Nathalie: Baby love, I think I've been a little too kind
Didn't notice you walking all over my peace of mind
In the shoes I gave you as a present
Puttin' someone first only works when you're in their top five
And by the way, I'm going out tonight

Gabriel: Best believe I'm still bejeweled
When I walk in the room
I can still make the whole place shimmer
And when I meet the band
They ask, "Do you have a man?"
I can still say, "I don't remember"
Familiarity breeds contempt
Don't put me in the basement
When I want the penthouse of your heart
Diamonds in my eyes
I polish up real, I polish up real nice

Nice

Nathalie: Baby boy, I think I've been too good of a girl (too good of a girl)
Did all the extra credit, then got graded on a curve
I think it's time to teach some lessons
I made you my world (huh), have you heard? (Huh)
I can reclaim the land
And I miss you (I miss you)
But I miss sparkling (ah, hey)

Gabriel and Nathalie: Best believe I'm still bejeweled
When I walk in the room
I can still make the whole place shimmer
And when I meet the band
They ask, "Do you have a man?" I can still say, "I don't remember"
Familiarity breeds contempt
Don't put me in the basement
When I want the penthouse of your heart
Diamonds in my eyes
I polish up real, I polish up real nice

Nice

Nathalie: Sapphire tears on my face
Sadness became my whole sky
But some guy said my aura's moonstone
Just 'cause he was high
And we're dancin' all night
And you can try to change my mind
But you might have to wait in line
What's a girl gonna do?
A diamond's gotta shine

Gabriel and Nathalie: Best believe I'm still bejeweled
When I walk in the room
I can still make the whole place shimmer (shimmer)
And when I meet the band
They ask, "Do you have a man?"
I can still say, "I don't remember"
Familiarity breeds contempt
Don't put me in the basement
When I want the penthouse of your heart
Diamonds in my eyes
I polish up real (nice), I polish up real nice

And we're dancin' all night
And you can try to change my mind
But you might have to wait in line
What's a girl gonna do? What's a girl gonna do?
I polish up nice
Best believe I'm still bejeweled
When I walk in the room
I can still make the whole place shimmer

As soon as they finished singing, Nathalie held her head in pain, "you ok? Nathalie, you don't look too good", Gabriel stared at his assistant, who was clearly in pain.

Nathalie just shook her head and Gabriel and Adrien helped her sit down on the sofa in his room.

Once Nathalie had regained a little strength, she slowly opened her eyes, "I feel weak" she groaned.

Gabriel carefully lifted Nathalie up bridal style and he carried her towards her bedroom. Gabriel helped Nathalie take her robotic crutches off and he tucked her into bed.

Nathalie fell fast asleep, as soon as her head hit the pillow, Gabriel wished her 'sweet dreams', he quietly closed her bedroom door and he returned back to Adrien's room.

"Is Nathalie ok?" Adrien questioned his father, "she'll be fine after her nap, she probably just tired herself out. Fancy a duet on the piano" Gabriel offered, seeing his son grin in happiness.

While Nathalie was resting, Gabriel and Adrien played the piano together, just like a father and son duet.
