Emotional Support [Complete]

S2 E1: Pau

"I-I need the restroom!" Adrien whimpered out suddenly.

Well, that explained why Adrien seemed so nervous and wouldn't stop moving in his seat.

Marinette, Adrien, Gabriel, and Nathalie sat in the Agreste limo Monday afternoon on their seven hour drive to Pau. It had been five hours and each were absolutely done with the drive. It wasn't just the duration of the trip that had everyone annoyed; it was the fact that Adrien's bladder kept increasing the time they spent on the road.

Marinette face palmed herself. "Again, really?"

Gabriel pinched the bridge of his nose. "You just went forty minutes ago!"

Nathalie sighed. "At this rate, we won't be in Pau until nightfall."

Their bodyguard only grunted.

Adrien pouted. "But it's not my fault! I can't control my body!"

Marinette grabbed Adrien's water bottle. "You can control how much gosh dang water you consume! You've been chugging this thing like crazy all day! What is wrong with you?"

Adrien shrugged. "Well, I like to stay hydrated for photo shoots. Photographers say I have a 'natural glow'."

Marinette blinked, keeping the water bottle on her side and away from Adrien. "No more water."

Adrien huffed, folding his arms, before whimpering again. Upon seeing her love in pain, Marinette pulled him to her shoulder and stroked his cheek to which he quickly jumped away from her.

"N-No! Don't touch me, please!"

Irked by his son's rudeness when Marinette was only trying to comfort him, Gabriel scolded, "Adrien!"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Adrien laid against Marinette, placing her arm around him. "J-Just don't rub me, okay?"

Marinette frowned at how uncomfortable he was, laying her head on top of his. "Okay."

Adrien felt a wave of desperation and holding himself tightly. "C-Crud!"

Gabriel's eyes widened. "Jesus Lord, Adrien, not in front of Marinette!"

"S-Sorry, Mari." Adrien closed his eyes, his cheeks turning red. "B-But I really can't help it."

Marinette shook her head. "No, it's alright. You have to go that badly?"

Adrien opened an eye to look at her. "Y-Yeah."

Marinette sighed. "Well, I guess we have no choice but to stop at a bathroom somewhere."

"No way," Gabriel refused. "We have two hours left. If we stop again, it'll add an hour, and I'm sick of being on the road."

"T-Two hours?" Adrien panicked. "I won't make it!"

"Gabriel, he's clearly miserable," Marinette argued.

"He's not a child," the man spoke bluntly. "He should be able to hold his liquids."

Adrien rolled his eyes as his knee begin to bounce violently. "Yeah, well, not everyone is a freaking camel like you, Father."

Marinette thought for a minute. Then, she snapped her fingers, gaining everyone's attention. She took Adrien's water bottle and swallowed the last few sips before handing it to Adrien. "Here."

The blond stared at it in puzzlement. "What do you expect me to do with this?"

Marinette lifted an eyebrow. "What do you think?"

"That's revolting," Gabriel said, folding his arms. "My son would never! Especially not with you in the car!"

"Yes, Gabriel, I'd watch him while he--No! Okay?" Marinette grumbled. "We are sitting in a limo right now. I'd move to the other side. What do you take me for?"
