S2 E9: Fall Asleep With You

"What are you two doing?"

Gabriel huffed as he was checking on Adrien to make sure he was getting ready for the photo shoot in a few hours only to find him laying on top of Marinette, cuddled into her chest. Gabriel face palmed himself. He'd moved Adrien to his own bedroom only for Marinette to follow him.

"You guys can't keep doing this!"

Gabriel came to Adrien's bedside, taking him under the arms, and tried to pick him up. However, even in his sleep, Adrien clung to Marinette with brute strength as she did the same.

"What the...?"

The elder Agreste pulled on him harder, causing Adrien's eyebrows to knit as he awoken. He whined, only half conscious. "Wha... Father, what are you doing? Leave us alone. I wanna be with my Mari..."

"You guys cannot keep sleeping in the same bed like this! Let go of her!"

Adrien pouted, holding Marinette tighter. "N-No!"

The jolt of weight on Marinette startled her awake as she kept an instinctive hold on Adrien, preventing him from being taken away, although she could not see who was pulling him.

"What the heck is going on?" The drowsy girl mumbled. "Give Adrien back... We're cuddles... sleep..."

Marinette drifted off again, until she was yanked upwards, the sudden movement making her dizzy. "The frick?! Ow! Whatever the heck is happening, quit it unless you wish to die."

"It's my father..." Adrien said, his eyes still closed.

"Sorry, Marinette..." Gabriel had stopped tugging at his son when he heard Marinette's yelp of pain and her threatening words following. "Wait... Was that a death threat?"

Marinette yawned, still holding Adrien to her chest. "Do you need it to be?"

Gabriel blinked. A fifteen year old girl had just given one of the most powerful men in France a death threat for waking her up. He bit back a laugh. He loved her.

Then, once again, Gabriel attempted to remove Adrien from atop Marinette's body.

"Stop..." Adrien whined, holding onto Marinette. "She just came in like ten minutes ago. She wasn't here all night."

Gabriel let him go. "Whatever. Just don't go to bed with each other again."

The kids whimpered at those words. Marinette sat up, laying against the headboard as Adrien crawled into her lap. They held each other closely in case Gabriel tried to separate them again, sending glares his way.

"What is going on here?"

Nathalie stood in the doorway, dressed in her usual attire, which Gabriel was thankful for. He shook his head, holding the bridge of his nose.

"I found them in bed together again!" Gabriel folded his arms. "After we separated them last night."

"So, that's why you don't remember coming to your room, chéri," Marinette said.
