"Absolutely" she tilted her head and looked up into his eyes.
"Good to know" he caressed her pretty face.

*1 hour later*
Both of them had fallen asleep and Hawk Moth transformed back to Gabriel.
All of a sudden Nathalie woke up. She realized it they were still on the sofa. She got up so she could sleep in her bed.
"Don't...leave..." Gabriel was half awake.
She turned to see Gabriel and not Hawk Moth lying on her sofa.
"I am just going to my bed." She said.
"Take meeeeeeee." He said it in a childish voice.
"Take yourself there I am too tired Gabriel." She flopped onto her bed. Once she got all comfy she closed her eyes. Five minutes later she could hear someone coming into her room and then suddenly she felt someone hug her. She turned around and was expecting to see Gabriel with his blond hair but instead saw Hawk Moth which scared her.

*4am*
"Wake up." Nathalie was shaking Hawk Moth but he didn't open his eyes. She took his cane and booped his head with it.
"Ouch." He woke up.
She giggled and booped his head again and again with the cane.
"Stoppppp." He got mad.
"You're so funny when you're mad." She continued.
He grabbed the other end of the cane and pulled it away from her but she didn't let so and Nathalie fell onto the bed into his arms.
"You're cute." He booped her nose.
"Not really...anyway you need to get up and go back to the mansion." She stood up and walked away.
"See you later." He jumped out of the window.
After he left Nathalie got ready and made her way to the mansion.

*at the mansion*

"Good morning." Nathalie greeted Gabriel.
"Good morning." He was sketching some dresses.
"Good morning Nathalie." Emelie's sweet voice said.
"Good morning...you want some breakfast." Nathalie replied.
"Yes please." She smiled.
"Sir do you want breakfast?" Nathalie switched her voice to a more serious monotone voice.
"No." He replied with a cold voice.
Nathalie and Emelie went to the kitchen where Nathalie made some coffee and gave some pastries to Emelie.
"Good morning." Adrien was leaning against the kitchen door.
"Good morning Adrien." Nathalie didn't turn around. She felt someone hug her and when she turned around she saw Adrien hugging her with a huge smile on his face.
"Did you sleep well?" She stroke his hair.
"Yes...and you." Adrien went to sit with his mother.
That question hit Nathalie and she got a flashback of yesterday night with Hawk Moth.
"Y...y...yes." She stuttered to say.
"Nathalie! Do you have my schedule." Gabriel's monotone voice asked.
Nathalie didn't realize he was there and she got a bit scared when she heard him.
"Yes...yes...here." She handed him the schedule while looking at  the floor. She didn't want to make eye contact.
He walked back into his office he didn't even eat with his family which broke Nathalie's heart. She really wanted the family to be happy together but Gabriel didn't seem to care.

*7pm*
Nathalie was done with her work so she got up from her desk and went home. Once she arrived home she didn't fell like eating because the whole day she had a bad headache from overthinking everything. She went to bed and closed her eyes. Yet again she couldn't fully sleep even if she was tired. She went to the kitchen to get some pain killers for her headache when she hear foot steps behind her. She got a knife and turned around.
"Woah no need to kill me." Hawk Moth stepped back.
"Stop breaking into my house." She put the knife down.
He rolled his eyes.
"What are you doing in the kitchen?"
"I came to get some pain killers for my headache." Nathalie reached for the pill box.
"Oh I'm sorry I should probably leave."
"I'll just go back to bed...if you want to leave that's fine...there is food in the fridge...good night." She walked away to her bedroom.
He knew he shouldn't bother her but he couldn't bring himself to leave.
He sat on the edge of her bed and stroke her hair while she slept.
She looked so adorable so cute and so childish. His heart melted as she pulled him closer to her so now he was leaning over her.
"Oh how cute you can be." He smiled.
She didn't respond but a small smile appeared on her face.
After hours and hours of looking at her he decided it was best if he left and allowed her to rest so he made his way back to the mansion. He de-transformed and went to his room.
"Where were you?" Emelie stood in front of him.
"I couldn't sleep...I went to get a sleeping pill."
"Oh okay." She stood on her tiptoes and kissed him.
"Good night." He walked away like nothing happened.
It was so obvious he didn't want her but they stayed together for Adrien.

*the next day*
Nathalie came into work looking very tired and sick. She sat down at her desk and sipped her coffee.
"Good morning." Gabriel looked up at her.
"Good morning sir." Her tired voice answered.
"You don't look alright."
"I am fine it's just a headache." She tried to hide the fact she was feeling awful.
He didn't seem to care much so he continued drawing.

*later*

"Nathalie do you want a coffee?" Emelie turned around with two mugs in her hand.
"Oh my you look awful." Emelie saw Nathalie's tired face.
"I am fine." She took the mug.
"You don't seem fine...I can ask Gabriel to let you go early." Emelie tried to help.
"No,no I'll be ok."
"Please don't lie to me Nathalie."
"No, seriously It's just a headache."
"Looks more like a fever."
"I am just weak and can't even handle the slightest bit of pain." Nathalie sipped her coffee.
"Nathalie! I need my schedule for tomorrow ." Gabriel walked in.
"Here..." she handed him the schedule.
"Gabriel...let her go early...Nathalie looks sick." Emelie said.
Gabriel looked up at Nathalie and noticed that she indeed looked very sick.
"No,no I'll be fine." Nathalie didn't want to bother them.
"Go home!" Gabriel looked at her with a serious face.
"Sir-"
"It is an order."
Nathalie rolled her eyes and went home.

*at home*
Nathalie sat on her couch and watched some boring show. Suddenly she heard that typical noise of Hawk Moth breaking into her house.
"Hello." She greeted him but she didn't turn around.
