Sorry's Got No Business Here (It Does)
Chapter One: Scars

Her back was to him, but in the light of the morning, his eyes could trace over the scars.

When he'd been her villain, he'd never caused her any scars. She had always healed and not a trace had been left behind. Her magic had always healed her too.

Then again, he'd never been aiming to permanently or seriously hurt her. He'd only wanted the Miraculouses and his only goal had been to bring back Emilie.

The scars she bore now, from villains worse than him, made him itch to take up the mantle of Hawk Moth again.

"You're thinking loudly, Gabriel," she murmured sleepily, turning over to face him.

He didn't know what expression he wore, but as her eyes opened and a look of resignation crossed her face, he knew it was probably guilt.

Bluebell eyes searched his face while one of her hands reached to cup his neck. She leaned in and kissed him softly.

"You're always feeling guilty when it comes to me," she sighed.

But Marinette had always been too forgiving.

"It took me far longer to reach any sort of forgiveness with Adrien than you," he pointed out, frowning.

"He's your son," she frowned back.

"You're my wife."

"I wasn't then," she said gently, starting to sit up now. She leaned over him, her hair -longer now that she was older -falling over him. "It was different then -I was nothing to you before, so it wouldn't have hurt as much as it had Adrien."

"But you're my wife now and I don't understand how you can look at me, much less have given me the chance that you did," he reached up and molded his hand against the side of her face, cradling it tenderly.

"Because when someone truly wants a second chance, they should have it," she said simply.

For Gabriel, his wife's kindness and sweet soul had been part of the reason he'd fallen for her, and he'd been grateful every day since she'd shown him that kindness.

"I love you," she smiled softly at him and he wondered at his luck.

He'd been stuck in darkness for so long that the light she brought with her had shifted his entire world before he knew it.
