Chatalie and Debugnair

Chapter 11- Time to De-evilise!

Stealer laid unconscious for the ground for the next hour before waking up, screaming, "NATHALIE! COME BACK!" He started panting before he reassessed his surroundings and the current situation. Monarch communicated to him, "Stealer! Forget about your girlfriend and get me the miraculous!" He replied, "No! I'm saving my Nathalie first! In fact, I don't need you anymore." He started thinking positive thoughts, trying to get rid of the akuma. ~ It was a late winters night at the mansion. Nathalie and Gabriel were still in his office, preparing for the fashion show the following week. Gabriel was standing at his tablet, working on a design. "Nathalie, I have something to ask you." Nathalie looked up at her boss, who was looking at her almost hesitantly. "Yes, Sir?" Gabriel replied, "Would you...um would you..." Nathalie heard him stutter and she said, "What is it?" Gabriel sighed and said, "Would you accompany me to the Bourgeois Gala next week?" He mumbled. Nathalie smiled slightly and said, "Sir, are you sure?" He nodded, "I'm sure." Nathalie smiled, "I'll come with you." "Thanks Nath." Gabriel said quietly before he went back to his work, but something was staying on his mind. "Why can't I get you out of my head?" He mumbled quietly, so Nathalie couldn't hear. That smile of hers when he asked her was stuck in his head, making him blush slightly. He scrapped his design and started making a brand new dress. But before his started, he asked, "What's your favorite color Nathalie?" He mumbled, almost inaudible. Nathalie heard it though and she said, "Purple and blue." She answered, almost inaudible as well, "Why do you ask?" "Oh, no reason." He muttered before getting back to his work. He started his sketches, glancing back at Nathalie every so often. After 30 minutes of silence, Gabriel said, "You should head to bed Nathalie." She nodded, "Very well sir." She packed up her things, "Goodnight Gabriel." She walked out of his office and headed to her room. "Goodnight Nathalie." He spent the entire night working on his sketches of the dress, unable to find the perfect design. He woke up the next morning in his chair with a blanket on his shoulders. Nathalie was sitting down on the floor, her head resting against Gabriel's lap, fast asleep. "G-Gabriel..." She muttered in her sleep. Gabriel responded, "Yes Nath?" Nathalie didn't respond but kept saying Gabriel's name over and over. Gabriel smiled seeing she was asleep and gently eased his fingers through her hair and she started to smile. Gabriel say still for the next hour, waiting for Nathalie to wake up. When she finally awoke, Gabriel was smiling down at her, "Did you sleep well?" Nathalie jerked up, "Imsosorrysirididntknowifellasleepimsosorry." She said in one breath. "It's fine Nathalie, no need to apologize." Gabriel said, "It's alright." Nathalie nodded slightly and said, "I should get to work." He nodded and they both started their day, unable to leave each others thoughts. A week later, Gabriel had called Nathalie into his office. "Yes sir?" Gabriel smiled, "Try this in for me, would ya?" He mentioned towards a mannequin, which had a beautiful blue and purple dress. Nathalie muttered, "But sir, I'm not a model." "I know, please put it on." She sighed, "Alright." Gabriel took the dress off and handed it to her, and she took it into the restroom and changed. "Sir, could you help me with this please?" He walked into the bathroom, "What can I help you with?" Nathalie stood there, the dress on, but her back fully exposed. "Could you help me with the zipper?" He nodded, blushing faintly as he pulled the zipper up on Nathalie's dress. She turned around, "So, what do you think?" "You, you look amazing." She blushed, "Thank you Mr. Agreste." He responded, "Anytime Ms. Sancouer. Now, we get ready to go." "Wait, that's tonight?!" He nodded, "I'll go get ready, I suggest you do the same." "Of course Sir." He smiled at her and left the room, heading to his own. He was already dressed, so he just stared into the mirror saying, "Don't let her distract you Gabriel, she's only your assistant. Even thought she looks so hot, just don't let her bare shoulders, and her perfect smile distract you." He growled to himself. He came out of his room and found Nathalie downstairs. Her hair was all curly and down, resting against her perfect shoulders. "You look incredible Ms. Sancouer. Now, shall we?" Be extend his arm to her. She took his arm and said, "We shall Mr. Agreste." They smiled at each other and went to the gala. After an hour of socializing and talking with people, Gabriel was sitting down at the bar by himself. Nathalie walked over to him and said, "May I?" He nodded and said, "Go ahead." Nathalie sat down next to him, "Everyone loves your dress, it's amazing!" He smiled, "Thanks Nathalie, are you enjoying the evening?" "Yes, yes I am." She smiled at him. "Are you?" She asked. "Yes." Gabriel responded, "Thanks for coming with me." "No problem, it's a honor." Gabriel blushed. They sat there talking for a while before getting up and heading out the door. "I had fun tonight Gabriel." She said as they walked back into the mansion. "I did as well Nathalie." She smiled, "I'd be happy to do this again some other time." He nodded and walked back into his room, and Nathalie walked into hers. Gabriel took of his shit jacket and sat down at his bed. He started feeling an urge to hold her in his arms. "Why am I feeling this?" He asked himself, "Why do I need her?" He sighed and walked across the hall, heading to Nathalie's bedroom, "Nathalie?" He knocked on the door. "Come in sir." She said, letting Gabriel into her room. He walked in and before another word could be said, he grabbed her in his arms and pulled her into a hug. "I need you Nathalie." "S-sir..." "Gabriel, please." Nathalie hugged him back and started to tear up, "I've been waiting for this for so long." She mumbled mostly inaudible. They held their hug for what seemed like eternity, and they enjoyed every moment. ~ Stealer kept thinking about these memories, creating enough positive thoughts to get rid of the akuma. "I...I did it." He opened his yo-yo and said, "You're not going anywhere little butterfly, time to de-evilise!" He captured the akuma in his yoyo, turning it back into a butterfly. "Goodbye little butterfly." He let the butterfly free and sighed, "Now, to save my Nathalie. I only need a plan." He snuck around the warehouse and looked for another way in. He noticed a smaller building off to the side. "What is that?" He walked towards the building and snuck inside. He swung his yo-yo as a defense, but no one was in there. The yo-yo stopped swinging and retracted back into his hand. He noticed a bed and walked over to it. On a side table laid Nathalie's glasses, and her miraculous. He quickly snatched up the miraculous, slipping it on his finger, letting Plagg free. "Don't worry Plagg, we'll save her." Plagg sighed, "I hope so." Debugnair said confidently, "Tikki, Plagg, unify!"
