Revelation w/ @miraculeuxbug
The boy liked to think that he had control of himself. That at this point, he had his heart under lock and key. That he could simply dawn a mask of a smile, and everything would be alright. However with something like this, that wasn’t the case. With something like this, how could anything be even a semblance of alright? It felt like his soul was being torn out. The trust he still had for some reason, had been ripped away and now left a festering wound. He really shouldn’t have trusted him after everything. After all the cold things, after all the isolation-- all of it. The saddest thing? Adrien found that part of himself wasn’t surprised. Found that the reality he’d stumbled across was so believable. What made matters worse? Was the explanation Gabriel tried to give. He’d found his son up there in his lair, with eyes full of fear and shock. The reason for all of this? The reason his father was bringing so many people pain? While he understood the pain in his father’s heart, he could never agree to something like this. It was wrong. It was unhealthy. It isn’t what she would have wanted.
He couldn’t go back home. No, no that place wasn’t a home-- it was vile. It was a prison, and had been for a long time. Adrien would rather be homeless, and a true alleycat, than go back there. Considering everything, that seemed like the only feasible option at the moment. The only door left to him that he wouldn’t feel sick taking. That is, until leather clad feet touched down on a rooftop near a particular classmates house. A new door arose, but he didn’t want to open it. Didn’t want to drag anyone else into this mess. So, he merely stood there for a moment. Mind trying to decide what to do. If anything else, he needed someone to talk to at least-- even if he couldn’t tell her the full story. The boy knew he could trust Marinette-- she was a kind girl with a good heart. He’d confided in her before on this side of his life, so it would be alright now-- wouldn’t it? Leather gloved fingers rose to attempt to wipe away remnants of tear stains, as he vaulted over and landed on her balcony. Hopefully, she won’t think I’m a burglar-- the boy thought to himself, as his hand came to knock on the glass of her hatch.
