Miraculous Vampires

Fourteen - Daddy Issues (You Know, 'Cause He Kills People)

This chapter is for comedic relief after the intense events our characters had to go through. There will not be a lot of vampire references. If you want, you may skip it, but I don't recommend it. (this chapter is very sweet and cuddly. It also explains how the reveal went down.) Stay miraculous :)

Adrien's POV

I grumble and roll over on my back. Morning sun beams down on my closed eyelids and I groan. My head hurts and I'm dehydrated. I try and open my eyes, but I instantly close them once my headache pounds from sunlight. I groan and stuff my head into a pillow.

Wait, a pillow?

Ignoring the excruciating pain from my head, I force my eyes open and wait for my vision to focus. Almost immediately I recognize where I am. This soft fabric on the bed, the perfect seams on the bedsheets, the warm smell of cookies... all of it reminds me of Marinette. I turn over on my side and I'm face to face with my girlfriend who's fast asleep. I smile. She must have brought me here after last night.

Last night. Ugh. All the memories come back to me. I remember having a mental breakdown. The wind was blowing hard and rain was pounding. When Luka told me Hawkmoth was my father, I didn't want to believe him. I still don't want to believe him. Knowing that my father caused all of this pain and suffering to everyone is unforgivable. He's such a selfish bastard...

I start to cry. I've been fighting my own father this whole time. My enemy is my father. I have no family left.

Suddenly Marinette tosses in her sleep and curls up against me. I freeze and look at her dark hair, her pale skin, her freckles. I smile and hug her under the sheets.

No, I do have family left: Marinette.

I lean over and kiss her forehead. She groans and stretches, then slowly opens her eyes.

"Good morning, princess," I whisper, rubbing her back.

She giggles and blushes. "Good morning, my prince."

I start to get out of the bed but she grabs my arm and pulls me back into the sheets. She puts her hand on my cheek and looks at me with her bluebell eyes.

"Hey... how are you holding up?" She quietly asks.

"I just can't believe Hawkmoth was my father this whole time."

She gasps. "Adrien, you're crying..."

I shake my head. "I just can't believe it..."

"Oh, Adrien..." she whispers, and holds me in her arms while we lay on the bed.

"I miss my mom," I cry.

She tilts her head. "I noticed how you call her mom instead of mother, unlike your father. She must have meant a lot to you."

I nod, and bury my face into her shoulders.

"Trust me, Adrien, I have a plan. I'm going to cure everyone from vampirism, including you and Luka. I'll fix everything. I promise."

I wipe my tears and smile, looking at into her eyes. "Sorry m'lady, but I don't trust anyone who looks that good with bed-head."

She giggles and slams a pillow in my face. "You flirt! I was trying to be serious!"

Suddenly we hear a knock on the window. Marinette quickly jumps up. I gasp for air and pull the pillow off my face while laughing. I brush my bangs out of my face and glance up to see who's here.

"Viperon?" She asks, opening the window for him.

The snake hops in and de-transforms. His kwami swirls around in the air and joins Plagg and Tikki in the corner.
