(Gabriel's point of view)

I stood there, looking through the big round window of my secret lair...
A little butterfly had just returned to me...
Once again, I had failed...

I slowly turned around and looked at my assistant's worried face.
Nathalie...
"Are you alright, Sir?" she asked me.
"Yes, thank you ...", I said and added a "I'm already used to it..."

I did not look directly at her as I said that, but looked past her to the hatch used as the entrance and exit for this lair.
Because I had heard something.
"Wooaaahhh, what is this," I heard the muffled voice of my son speak.
He must have found the entrance to this hiding place.
If he would came here and see Hawkmoth -so... me- ...then ....

I had no choice, I had to do something.
But what!?
I looked at Nathalie, who looked at me just as questioningly.
Then the idea came to me.
"Dark wings fall," I said, meanwhile walking over to her.
My suit disappeared and released my normal clothes again.
"Just run with this"
"Sir, what are you going to...?"
But I did not have enough time to answer her.
I had to act.
Now or never.
I grabbed her waist, pulled her to me and kissed her.

The hatch opened and Adrien entered.
Nathalie started running her fingers through my hair.
She played along perfectly.
"N-Nathalie? F-father ?!" Adrien said with embarrassment.
I broke away from the kiss and tilted my head to see him: "Adrien ... you should not be here".
"I know ... I-I'm sorry, dad ... I uhm...better leave now..."
I waited until he left, then let go of Nathalie.
My eyes were still fixed on the hatch as I said, "Wow ... that was pretty cl-", but I could not talk it out.
A slapping sound echoed in the room.
"-ose..."
I turned my face to Nathalie.
Her expression was surprised, angry and sad at the same time.
She held her hand, with which she had slapped me, still in front of her chest.
Her eyes began to glitter in an unfamiliar way...
Tears formed in them....
Nathalie slowly lowered her arm.
She took a few steps backward, then turned and left.
I just stood there and said nothing...
Why did I do that !?
I could have slapped myself in this moment...
Nathalie's act was just justified ...

But ... Somehow ...this one moment was... nice...
My hands on her waist, the fabric of her clothes that touched mine, her hands passing through my hair, my lips ...

My lips against hers...

(Nathalie's point of view)

He came up to me.
Just before he reached me he said: "Just run with this"
I was confused.
"Sir, what are you going to-...?" I asked.
But he did not answer anymore.
His gaze was determined.
He wanted to keep his secret from his son.
He grabbed my waist and pulled me to him.
Gabriel kissed me.
I was kind of angry with him ... so long did I try to get close to him and he kept rejecting me and now...?
He played with my feelings...
With or without intention, I did not care, because he hurt me...

But although I did not feel like it, I helped him.
I could not just let him down.
Well ... I could, but ... I did not want to...
Because in my deep inside I still loved him...
Behind us one could hear the sound of the opening hatch.
I started running my hands through his hair.
Reluctantly.
"N-Nathalie? F-father ?!"
He broke away from the kiss and looked at Adrien:
"Adrien ... you should not be here."
"I know ... I-I'm sorry, Dad ... I...uhm better leave now..."
As soon as Adrien disappeared Gabriel let go of me.
"Wow ... that was cl-"
but he could not finish his sentence.
I slapped him.
"-ose..."
After a moment, he turned his frightened face to me.
My surprise, sadness and anger combined.
After looking at him for a while, with tears forming in my eyes, I took a few steps backward, then finally turned around and left without turning back.
