Marinette had just finished a dress she had been working hard on and then as always checked up on Hugo and went to sleep. She however, didn't notice that Hugo wasn't truly sleeping.

After making sure his mother was asleep he snuck out quietly through the hall and into the streets of Paris, looking at every man walking, for his father. No plan in mind.

With Adrien
Adrien woke up on the cold lair floor "hey plagg, how long have I slept here"
"2 hours kid, but you sure looked like you needed it" Adrien yawned and stretched

"I need some fresh air"
"you know the words" plagg smirked and got pulled into the ring.
"plagg claws out" Chat jumped out through the lair's broken window into the open streets.

Throughout the patrol he couldn't stop thinking about one thing,
‎‏He knew Marinette's child wasn't his, but he still couldn't get the idea of a child with Ladybug out of his head. He'd thought about that night everyday for years, never forgetting a single detail of it, the feeling of her hot skin against his, the look in her eyes and the pleasure he felt, but ever since visiting Marinette and seeing her child he'd been stuck in thought, even though Marinette denied him from any possibility of being the father he still wanted that child

As he viewed the streets of Paris he noticed a small lonely boy who looked like he was 5 or 6 in age wearing black pants and a hoodie. Chat was about to go to the boy until he saw a man was approaching the boy, chat thought the man was his father and was about to leave until he saw that the boy was backing away fearfully, he went closer to them "hey little boy what's wrong" the boy looked feared so he directed his next question to the man instead.

" I don't know I was on my way home then I saw him out here alone" chat thanked the man politely " thank you, I can handle it from here" the "well have a good night, nice to have you back chat noir" the man smiled softly and left leaving chat and Hugo alone.

He moved closer to the boy holding his hands "hey little boy you look lost where are your parents"
The boy turned to face him"I'm fine I'm just looking for my dad" Chat smiled trying to comfort the boy "How does he look like??"

"he has green eyes,". Chat Noir sighed and knelt down in front of the boy

, "Is there anything else you know about your dad that you can tell me to help me find him? What about his height or hair colour?"
The boy fidgeted with his feet "I don't know anything other than that I have his eyes," he said, "I have my mom's hair so I don't know what colour my dad has. but I know he has to be in Paris somewhere. "

"I know that I should not be out late, But that's okay because you're a super hero, you'll help me search right?," said the boy with cute puppy eyes,
Chat sighed "But if you don't know anything about him then you can't find him in a big city like Paris" Hugo then removes his hood of his head

"Marinette" Chat whispered with his eyes wide, Hugo looked at chat smiling " you know my mom??" He shook his head"Oh yea we are friends, she must be worried right now, let's get you home"

"I can't, I snuck out" Adrien remembered the times he snuck out as chat to get away from his life as Adrien or when his dad grounded him he looked into the boys big green eyes
"Okay how about we make a deal we'll eat ice cream then I'll take you back home okay?'
The boy then cheered hugging him, chat just chuckled at his reaction and carried towards Andres ice cream.

Chat bought 2 cups of ice cream and went towards the bench were Hugo sat, they both sat silently eating their ice cream then Hugo finally broke the silence " how do you know my mom" Chat scratched behind his neck, "We -We ran into each other a lot when we were younger." "Oh," he replied, The sparkle returned to Hugo's eyes. "Then you can help me find my daddy!"

"Uh I'm guessing your mom doesn't know you're out here, does she?" he asked, glancing over at the little boy. Hugo fidgeted with his fingers nervously reminding him of how Marinette used to do that back then when she got nervous Hugo sighed, "No, but if she knew she'd never let me look. I want to find him."

"Why do you think that?" Marinette looked like she had control over being a single parent. "I can see she's sad without him. She doesn't say anything, but I can tell by her expressions. She's lonely and misses him, but she just doesn't wanna admit it." Chats was filled with confusion. Wasn't Hugo was a result of a one night stand? How could Marinette miss him, she said she didn't even know him?

he sighed, "I should take you home before she catches you out of your bed and beats me out."

"She's sleeping. I don't think she knows I'm gone." He finished off his ice-cream and got up to throw it away. "It's not good to sneak out." Chat tried to sound stern, but it didn't work as Hugo began giggling lightly."Paris is too dangerous for you to run around all by yourself at night. You need an adult,"

Hugo tugged on chats leg "I have a superhero to protect me right?" Then he tugged on chats arm pulling him behind "Hugo it's time to go back home" Hugo frowned " but I haven't found my dad yet" Chat knew he won't give up easy" how about I take you home now and I promise you that I'll come pick you up in a week nights" Hugo jumped up and down hugging him tightly.

He landed at Marinettes balcony and put Hugo down. Hugo waved goodbye and as he was about to enter chat wanted him to promise him something "Hugo promise me you won't tell your mom about me okay?" Hugo smiled and extended his pinkie "I won't, I promise" Hugo opened the balcony door slowly and got in closing the curtains behind, and chat left.
