A Lady's Choice

   Saturday morning.

   Every child's relief day to let out a sigh and not have to worry about homework until the very last minute.

   What made it grander was the rays of sun stretching through the window, welcoming everyone to a warm and bright day. The birds happily cooed a song of their good mornings to Paris.

   And here was Adrien in his bedroom, stuck in his shirt he was attempting to put on.

He stumbled around, blinded by the very thing he was stuck in. He nearly tripped a few times, collided his hip into his desk, and stepped on something that sent pain into his foot.

He eventually won the battle and tried to take out the wrinkles. Although, he didn't quite know why since he was going to put a nice suit jacket over top of it. Nobody was going to see it but Adrien's overly nervous mind couldn't comprehend that thought.

He's never been this nervous before.

The blonde had stolen from stores with the police on his tail, been to underground gang gatherings, and drove a hot-wired car when he was only twelve years old.

He had kept a calm and cool head in all those dangerous situations. But a small scheme that entitled no danger at all and was merely an act was making him lose his head.

"Adrien! Breakfast is ready!" Nathalie called.

"Be there in a minute!" Adrien replied, grabbing one of his nicest jackets he had. He had to make a good first impression. He sadly had to depart from his favorite leather jacket for the next week.

He grabbed a tie and stared at it for a moment.

"How does this thing work again?" he thought before glancing at himself in the mirror. Adrien looked suave until reaching his unruly mane of hair. He combed his fingers through his hair, not sure what to do with it. It definitely needed to be a lot nicer than a disorganized mess.

He glanced between the two things of his troubles, unknowing how to do either.

Adrien was going to need a little help.

Nathalie scraped some scrambled eggs onto two plates.

Gabriel sat at the table, nursing a cup of coffee and going through some color pallets for a new suit he was designing. He was starting to become more popular in the industry and making his way to the top. It was a load of work but tried to save time to spend with his family.

The man continued to work, not looking away when hearing footsteps padding down the hallway. Gabriel was very close to finishing so he could talk with his son and wife for a little bit before indulging in his work again.

"Oh, there you are..." Nathalie trailed off before questioning, "Why are you so dressed up?"

This caught Gabriel's attention. He drew his eyes away from his notes to his well-dressed son. Adrien wore some nice black pants and a gray suit jacket. In his hand was a red tie.

Gabriel remembered it being a prototype outfit he made but was still doable to wear. So, he gave it to his son. Although, Adrien wasn't a fan of wearing anything nice. So seeing the teen wearing the outfit was definitely a surprise for the two adults.

"It's...uh...for a school project," Adrien feebly lied, letting a sheepish smile crossed his face.

Nathalie and Gabriel glanced at each other. That's when they instantly knew what was going on. Nathalie told Gabriel about her discovery a few nights ago and a theory about why he was studying proper equate.
