[For once, Adrien had been a good son and not snuck out of his house. Mostly because he didn't want to go out in this costume. Which wasn't good for a lot of reasons. Not helped by how uncomfortable the full head mask thing was. Honestly, he's barely left his room.]

[But he needed more than cheese and had snuck out of his room to head to the kitchen. With his phone because he knows if he's not constantly aware of it, he's going to come in with it on and no. Unfortunately, that's where the video starts when he bumps into someone, and drops the phone, and of course it's filming from the floor.]

Ah, sorry-

[That someone was of course his father, also hiding from the world as much as possible. He had woken up dressed in a irritatingly familiar costume. He had, of course, tried to take off the ring as soon as he realized what he was wearing. The Chat Noir Miraculous. On his hand. And he couldn't take it off. ]

[He was actually contemplating cutting off his finger. For the Miraculous, it might be worth it. He had been heading to the kitchen to get a knife, not because he was going to do it, but so that he had options. He already knew, thanks to Lady Wifi that the mask couldn't come off separately, so he was willing to bet that the rest wouldn't either. He needed to remove the Miraculous. Some how.]

[His son should be in his room, no one was due in...it should have been a safe time to slip down.... he had come from his lair, because he had tried everything he could think of there to get the ring off. Including yelling "Detransform me" at the top of his lungs a few times. Sound proof rooms where the best. But no luck. So he had been heading for the kitchen when he bumped into...]

[That wasn't possible. How could he be looking at Papillon when he WAS Papillon? Except he couldn't transform. But... he had his Miraculous. Or he had before he was suddenly Chat Noir... Wait. Whoever that was was too short to be himself... in fact.... No. That couldn't be Adrien under there... could it?]

[Whatever apology that had been about to come, far more than a simple sorry for bumping into his Father and wearing the outfit, except then he saw the outfit and there was a kind of weird...choking...gurgle that escaped him.]

[The first was 'why was someone else Chat Noir, is it Copycat again?' Another was 'was I missed back home and Plagg chose another Chat Noir?' Because there had been some freaking out about his missing ring.]

[The third was realizing that this...this might actually be his father because who ELSE would be in his house???? His father. In Chat Noir's leather.]

[There is a second choked gurgling that is decidedly more distressed.]

[He couldn't ask if he was okay. So the people watching this accidental video would just see Chat Noir and Papillon gaping at each other, both at a loss for words. Gabriel had to say something, but there was nothing that he could think of to say that wouldn't blow his cover, give him away...]

[And he wasn't completely certain that this was Adrien, after all.]

[modelcatizen]

[Really, it's Adrien who manages to find his words first.]

Father? [In a high, tight, rather unattractive near screech.]
