The Gorilla Father Figure Au Nobody Asked For But They’re Getting It Anyways
Part 1 of an idea I had where Gorilla becomes Adrien’s Guardian
The Gorilla Father Figure Au
This takes pace after a huge battle with hawkmoth. We have Ladybug, Queen Bee, Rena, and Carapace all watching in horror as they see who’s behind the mask.
Ladybug is horrified. Her role model is the ultimate form of evil she’s ever encountered, and he’s the father of the boy she loves.
Queen Bee is stunned. She’s known Gabe and Adrien as long as she can remember. She tries to remember if there was any way she could have known before now.
Rena is shocked. Of all the people in Paris, it had to be him. She’s shocked at how well the pieces fit together and how she missed it.
Carapace is furious. How dare this son of a hamster ignore his own son so he can play super villain.
Chat... He’s expressionless and very very quiet. He’s not sure which set of emotions he should feel first. Angry for being looked over in favor of power. Sad that he couldn’t save his own Father. Happy that they saved Paris. Heartbroken because he’s just lost another parent.
There is a thick silence while everyone processes their thoughts.
It’s broken first by Carapace who walks over and decks Gabe right in the face and then proceeds to rip him a new one! Queen bee soon follows tearing into him and Then Rena. Ladybug looks at him with disgust and walks over to chat. She watches her partner in defeat, whipping the tears for Adrien quickly. She pulls chat in for a hug (She doesn’t know who he is, she’s seeking comfort) Chat hugs her back, burying his face in her hair. He only half hears his comrades still “talking” to his father.
Ladybug notices Chat’s more out of sorts that the others and asks if he’s alright. He nods and says he just needs some air. So she gives him the butterfly miraculous and tells him to go to Master Fu’s place. Chat leaves silently, turning to look at his house for only a moment before he bolts away in the rain.
Ladybug and the gang turn Gabe over to the authorities and search the house, not finding the peacock miraculous, Natalie, or Adrien. The heroes jump to conclusions that Natalie kidnaped him and they all split up to find him as well as alerting the city that he is missing.
Now Chat being completely shattered just runs. He runs and runs and runs never stoping. He lost his mum (to a car crash in this au), he lost his father mostly when she died, now only to find out that he’s been fighting his father the whole time, and Natalie.. She was practically family. He feel so lost and alone.
Eventually he finds himself at his mother’s favorite park. It’s a very cold rainy night and he just sits at they’re park bench crying. He doesn’t hear the foot steps from behind him. He only looks up when the wet rain stops hitting him. He looks up to see Gorilla frowning, shielding the blond from the rain with his umbrella.
Chat just stares unsure how to react. Gorilla reaches out for Chat. In one motion he drops the umbrella, kneels on the ground, and takes Chat into a hug. Chat is stunned but quickly crumples into the man before him. He mutters for Plagg to drop transformation and clings to Gorilla letting his sobs be smothered in the mans suit.
