Sleep

Another day, another Akuma attack. Grimm Tales was the Akuma's name. Armed with their purple story book and a white as snow quill, they could make any fairytale come to life. They demonstrated this power by writing in their book and suddenly, Kagami found herself wearing a red cloak and skipping away with a basket full of treats.

Juleka and Luka now donned lederhosen in their corresponding colors, and the Liberty was now made of candy

Kim was running around in a blue suit and he only had on one shoe. The other was in Max's hand. The brainy boy was now dressed like a prince and was running after the half barefoot athlete

Even the heroes Ladybug and Chat Noir were hit by the Akuma's power. Ladybug was now dressed as Aurora and skipping after the Akuma while singing, which attracted a few pigeons. Chat Noir, now with long, flowing hair, used it to swing after the Grimm Tales.

Nathaniel hid in an alleyway as three bears chased after Rose. The blonde girl's hair was now long and curly, and she had on a blue knee-length dress with white sleeves. Once they were gone, he got out his phone and called Marc, only for it to go to voicemail, "Marc, please call back if you're okay," he pleaded, "Meet me at my place. Love you, Rainbow."

Nathaniel put his phone back in his pocket and continued walking, avoiding old ladies offering him suspicious-looking fruit, overzealous religious guys, and meat head blowhards obsessed with their looks. He's watched enough Disney movies with Marc to know what to avoid right now

While walking, he bumped into a figure with their backed turned to them. They were dressed in a blue bodice with puffy blue sleeves that had red slits, a yellow dress that came down to their ankles, and they had on red flats. When he saw the dark hair, Nathaniel immediately thought, "Marinette?"

But it wasn't her. The figure turned around to face Nathaniel, and the redhead couldn't help the smile his lips formed, "MARC!" He engulfed the boy in a hug, but didn't get one in return

Marc looked confused for a moment, then asked in a sweet voice, "Do I know you?"

Nathaniel knows he should be upset that his boyfriend doesn't remember him, but it's only temporary. And he couldn't find it in him to be upset, not when Marc looked so beautiful dressed as Snow White. He had the bow in his hair, his lips were painted a nice ruby red, and completing the look was the shiny red apple in his hand with a bite taken out of it... "Marc, where did you get that apple?", he asked frantically

He smiled, "Oh, from this nice lady with green eyes and brown hair."

'Green eyes and brown hair?... LILA!' Then that means, "Do you feel okay?" He knew that question was pointless when he saw Marc staggering a bit, and trying to keep his eyes open

"Uh... Y-yeah, I-" Before he could finish, dizziness overcame him. Marc fell into Nathaniel's waiting arms and dropped the apple onto the ground. Nathaniel felt a tear escape his eye as he looked at Marc's lifeless face

Suddenly, a loud, diabolical cackle was heard. Nathaniel turned his head and saw Lila with a witches grin on her face, "Now I'm the fairest! Sweet dreams, Snow White!" And at that, she disappeared in a puff of black smoke before Nathaniel could cuss her out. He looked back at Marc and caressed his face before gathering him in his arms, bridal style, and carried him home

As he continued walking with Marc still asleep in his arms, Nathaniel came across Grimm Tales. They sent the redhead a sneer before looking at Marc. Their look softened as they asked, "Would you like for him to wake up?"

Nathaniel, believing the Akuma would turn Marc back to normal, shook his head yes. But when they wrote in their book and uttered the words, "Welcome to the story, Prince Florian," Nathaniel realized what Grimm Tales had meant.

A bright blue light surrounded Nathaniel, and once it faded, his clothes were replaced with a royal blue sleeveless tunic with a gold trim and a black belt. Beneath the tunic is a white long-sleeved shirt, bluish-gray pants and brown boots. He also wears a dark red cape that reaches to his knees. He looks around, confused for a moment until he notices Marc in his arms, and his cheeks turn a shade of red

Grimm Tales smiled at the two, "Only a kiss can wake up your prince," they said before leaping away to turn Paris into a giant storybook/Disney movie

Thsoe words did not help Nathaniel's red cheeks go back to their original color. He looked back down at Marc and took in his gorgeous features. His beautiful ebony hair, his delicate eyelashes, those beautiful red lips he had to kiss so he would wake up, then he could see what beautiful color his eyes were

He gently laid Marc down on a bench, brushed his dark bangs out of the way, then leaned down to press his lips against those of the sleeping prince in a soft kiss.
After he pulled away, nothing happened. With a sigh, Nathaniel went down onto one knee by the bench he laid Marc on and took his hand in is.

A second later, Marc's eyes fluttered open. Nathaniel didn't notice until the beautiful boy next to him slowly sat up. Neither could help the blush forming on their cheeks. Then, without saying a word, Marc cupped Nathaniel's cheeks and kissed him. Nathaniel lifted him up off the bench and kissed back

Grimm Tales: Well! I'm satisfied! *They tear the book in half, releasing the Akuma* Take your butterfly back, Hawkmoth, I got what I wanted to see!
