Dad Nino ... take centre stage


Nino adored the Agreste twins, he really did, but he also knew they could plan a bank hoist from the age of three. Louis, his wonderful Godson, was Adrien in a nutshell. The kid was as smart as they come and the way he could work numbers was incredible, there'd been talk about him being part of MENSA in the future with extra support and tuition from Max. Emma on the other hand was the brawn. You didn't pick a fight with that kid unless you expected to lose. Nino got on with them well, he adored them ... which is why one sunny afternoon he offered his services for babysitting.

"Nino, I need your help." Adrien called his best friend up in a panicked state, and Nino couldn't help but wonder what Dad of the Year (voted for by unknowing Parisians) had done this time. Maybe they'd gone back in time again, or blown up the house, anything was a possibility with the Agreste clan under Adrien's watch.

"What's up? Need me to watch the twins?"

"That would be amazing," his best friend sighed down the phone, "Emma dared Hugo to shove a pea up his nose and we can't get it back out. I need to take him to the hospital."

Nino snorted a laugh. Of course Emma did, his precious Louis would never do something like that.

"Mari's going to kill you!"

"I swear they wait until she's out of the house to go crazy. It's every week! They never do it for Tom and Sabine." This just fuelled Nino's laughter more.

"Bring them over. I'm sure Rueben will like the company."

So here they were ten minutes later. Adrien had pretty much thrown the twins out the car and demanded his driver to take himself and Hugo to the hospital.

"Where's Rue?" Emma asked, bouncing on the balls of her feet. The young girl was amazing at keeping Rueben entertained, and he was quite sure she would be his son's first love.

"He's in the house. I'm just about to take him for a walk while Auntie Alya has a bath." Nino walked the twins into the house, Louis trailing behind playing on some sort of handheld game.

"What you got Lou?"

"A Nintendo switch," he responded, twisting his hands as he buttoned bashed the controller. "Dad got me the new Miraculous game to try out."

"Oh really?" Nino had heard about this, he knew Max and Adrien were creating the idea together but he didn't realise it was released yet.

"I'm betaing it, and so far it's pretty cool."

Nino slowed down to look at the screen as Emma continued into the apartment. "Woah, look at Carapace go!"

Louis was currently playing as his Godfather's alter ego and Nino couldn't help but feel a little smug. For someone who was usually so shy and reserved, Louis was rather vocal about his choice of favourite superhero, and unfortunately for Adrien his son wasn't Chat Noir's biggest fan. Nino half expected that was the reason why they had Hugo.

"It's so awesome, Uncle Nino. Uncle Max has managed to give you all your upgrades, with Maman's permission of course. Watch this."

Louis tapped a couple buttons, manoeuvring Carapace up and over the Eiffel Tower before changing him into water mode and submerging himself into the river.

"That is so cool! Can you do it with all the characters?"

"Just the OG's at the moment?"

"OG's?" Nino questioned.
