I had a random idea with Jagged Stone. Just roll with it.


Adrien knew this was a bad idea. They shouldn't. They really shouldn't. But once Chloe got an idea, she just rolled with it, and he was left trying to survive this tumble down.

"It'll be perfectly fine Adrihoney!" Chloe chimes on, her nails digging into his wrists as he was dragged along. "We'll just pop in, get our autographs, convince him to write us a love song-"

"Ugh," Adrien weakly comments.

"-and have him join us for dinner! And then we'll get free tickets to his concert! Oh it'll be amazing Adrihoney!"

"I don't know Chloe," Adrien tried, weakly tugging his wrist away from her. Not that it did little good to free him. "He did just get here. I don't think he'd want to be bothered."

Chloe stopped, raising a very high brow at Adrien. "We're two of the most important people in Paris," she states. He wasn't too sure about that. "Of course Jagged Stone would want to see us! He'd be very happy to see us!"

"Do we really need to ambush him though?" Adrien pleaded, trying once more to free his hand. Chloe just rolled her eyes and dragged him along.

"Oh Adrien," she sighed, shaking her head like he was a sorry fool. "Sabrina got me a copy of his schedule, he would barely have any time for us! We're saving him a lot of trouble this way! Besides, don't you want to meet Jagged Stone?"

He did.

He loved Jagged Stone's music. The American had a lot of flare and energy around him. And from what he's seen on interviews and videos, he's a fun guy too. He would love to have his autograph!

He just didn't want to get it this way.

Before he could try another protest, Chloe was already knocking on the door, calling out for M Stone. And the door fell open under her nudges.

Both blonds paused, peering into the gaping hotel room.

Adrien frowned while Chloe smiled.

"We should-"

"Let's explore!" she cuts in, grabbing his wrist once more and dragging him in.

"Chloe!" he hissed as he stumbled after her. They were going to get into so much trouble, and he'd never get to go to a Jagged Stone concert and his dad would never let him out of the house ever again! No, they had to leave right now!

Before Adrien could make this clear, they were already half way into the room, and met with a deep rumble. There was a scratch of claws on the floor, and both turned to see a crocodile crawl into view from behind a couch, eyeing them with bright orange eyes.

Chloe screamed and scrambled into Adrien's arms while the blond stiffened and stumbled back.

Jaws slid open as it hissed.

"E-easy," Adrien managed, walking back slowly, teetering as Chloe screamed and squirmed in his grasp.

The crocodile charged, jaws open wide.

With a loud shrill, Chloe leapt from his arms and fled the room, sending Adrien falling to the ground and behind with the charging croc. "Ohnononononononononononono," Adrien stammered, scrambling back as he watched the huge reptile get closer. This was it. This was where it was all going to end...

"No! No! NO!" a shout intervened, and Adrien watched in horror as a small, dark haired girl sped towards the croc and tackled it.

They tumbled over and Adrien's heart stopped when those jaws clamped over her arm.

"OH MY GOD!" he exclaimed, scrambling over to her and panicking. He should call 112! Or, animal control?! Or, or should he try to get the croc's mouth off her arm? What should he do? Oh shit. It was chewing on her! It was going to tear her up into a bunch of little pieces and-

Adrien reeled back at the hard jab at his nose. He sat back, blinking stupidly at the frowning and very, surprisingly calm girl. Who didn't seem to mind the croc gnawing on her arm at all. If anything it looked like she was taking it like it was just some overgrown, scaly puppy that was chewing on her elbow.

Shouldn't she be freaking out?!

Screaming in pain?!

"You need to calm down," she said, very slowly, hand out stretched to him like she wanted to comfort him.

Him.

While her arm was getting chewed on.

She wanted to ease his worries what was wrong with this girl?

"It's ok," she soothed.

No it wasn't.

"Fang just likes to give kisses."

Those weren't kisse-

What?

Blinking rapidly, he looked to the arm that was being chewed on. There, there wasn't any blood. The teeth weren't piercing her skin at all. She really did not look like she was in any pain.

"Ki-kiss?" he repeated.

She nodded, tapping the top of the crocodile's snout affectionately. "Kisses," she confirmed. "Fang likes to give kisses. He wanted to give you two a kiss. A lot of people usually don't care for them."

"Uh-I I can get why," he uttered.

She cracked an amused smile, teal eyes twinkling. Adrien flushed and rubbed the back of his neck. Warily, he asked, "It really doesn't hurt?"

She patted his knee, making the blond jump a little. "I'm ok. Fang won't hurt me."

They both jumped when they heard a shrill, "ADRIEN!" and twisted around just in time to see Chloe rush back in, wide eyed and scared. "What are you doing?!" she exploded, "get away from that monster!"

"It's ok Chlo-" he started to ease, only to be cut off.

"Monster?" the girl repeated with a slight edge in her voice. "Fang is not a monster."

Chloe screamed and pointed at the girl's arm. Adrien's was alarmed at how pale she looked. "HE'S EATING YOUR ARM!"

"They're kisses!" the girl snapped, easily withdrawing her arm from those deadly jaws. She shocked them both by wrapping his head up in a hug, cooing as she patted his snout, "You just can't catch a break these days."

The reptile rumbled in reply, tail thumping on the floor.

Adrien jumped when Chloe stuck her nails into his arm, letting her drag him away from the two. "Who are you?" Chloe demanded, "How did you get in here?! Why you here?!"

The girl frowned at them. "I could ask you the same thing."

"My Daddy owns this hotel!" the blonde sneered.

Adrien tugged at her wrist, wincing. This was not the time to pick a fight with someone that owned a crocodile.

The girl raised a very skeptical brow as she asked, "And that you gives you a right to barge into people's room?"

"WHO ARE YOU?!" Chloe snapped.

Not liking her tone, the crocodile hissed, making her squeak and reel away, hiding behind Adrien.

The girl slumped to the side, completely lounging on the croc. "I'm Marinette Dupain-Cheng. This is my room."

"No it's not!" Chloe spat from behind her childhood friend. "This is-"

"What is going on here?!"

Everybody ripped towards the door, and there he was. Jagged Stone. In the flesh. Glaring at them.

Oh boy.

They were in so much trouble.

But oh man, that's Jagged Stone!

"M Stone!" Chloe gushed, breaking away from her Adrien shield and skipping over to the rock star. She gushed, "I'm so glad you're ok! Don't you worry, I'll have this hooligan-"

"Hooligan?!" Marinette repeated.

"-taken care of! She'll never bother you ever again! As thanks, I would accept a free concert ticket, and an autograph, and oh! Will you take a selfie with me?"

The rock star gaped down at her.

His manager gaped at her from behind.

Adrien winced.

Marinette gaped from beside the croc.

Fang thumped his tail happily.

And Chloe stood there expectantly.

"Ok," Jagged Stone started very slowly, frowning down at the blonde, "who are you?"

Chloe looked surprised before flashing him a huge smile. "Chloe Bourgeois! Mayor's daughter. He owns this hotel."

"And that gives you a right to come into my room?" he asked slowly, his smile growing stiff.

"Well," Chloe argued, "the door was open-"

His manager cuts in. "And you thought it would still be a good idea to come in?"

"I-My Daddy owns this hotel!"

Marinette snorts.

"And you!" Chloe whirled around, "You aren't supposed to be here-"

"Um, that's my niece you're pointing and yelling at."

Chloe balked.

Adrien gaped.

Marinette gave a sheepish wave.

"Niece," Chloe croaked.

"You're his niece?" Adrien whispered in awe.

"B-but you're an only child?" Chloe babbled, shocked.

Jagged Stone raised a dark brow down at her, then rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Just get out," he stated, walking past the two and pinching the bridge of his nose. "I'm too jet lagged to deal with this..."

Marinette stood up with a graceful stretch, flashing her uncle a charming smile. "Sounds like a good time to break out some cookies and watch a movie?"

Jagged Stone snapped his fingers and pointed. "You know my jam Skipping Stone!"

"Skipping Stone?" Chloe repeated, shocked. Adrien shared it, watching in awe as the rock star pulled the dark haired into a one armed hug, both chatting in English as they walked deeper into the suite. Fang crawled after them, wigging excitedly.

They both jumped when firm hands grabbed their shoulders, and turned to the glaring manager. "So, we going to leave easy, or hard?"

"Easy," Adrien cuts in quickly, before Chloe could even respond.


So I don't know about you guys but I'm all up for Jagged Stone being Marinette's adopted Uncle/mentor.

I don't expect this to be a long fic. And again, just roll with it, a random thought I wanted to play with.
