Why wasn't Adrien here? He was the one who was good at this...
He shrugged, awkward himself. Not sure what to say. How to explain that it was weird him being so different from the Gabriel that Spark and Adrien knew without letting everything else come out. Without sharing the secrets he had to keep to keep Adrien safe.
"You... don't remember me..." he finally mumbled. "In your reality there was no Garfield Agreste..." Dangerously close to the truth, but still.. should work. "So... it's not like you ow...owe me anything." His breath caught, hitched. The problem was there had been so many Storms that wanting Gabriel Agreste to love him and see him a son was so burned into him now. "I'm not...not your son... not really..." He mumbled. Too close. Too close to the truth. But he didn't know how to unsay the words.
