Adrien Childhood Head Cannons (w Some Chloe Sprinkled In For Good Measure) Which Are Just True Because

Adrien childhood head cannons (w some chloe sprinkled in for good measure) which are just true because I said so, dammit:

Adrien starts modelling at 4 years old. His first shoot is for his fathers Christmas line that year, and he hated everything about it. The clothes itched and his feet ached from standing all day, not to mention the flurry of adults barking orders in his face and the bright camera lights bombarding him. The only silver lining was that Chloe was there too, so at least he got to play with her on their brief breaks.

Adrien really loved to draw as a kid. He used to sit and draw for hours. He used to draw pictures and gift them to Nathalie.

Nathalie still has a binder tucked in the bottom of her desk full of them.

All of his markers and coloured pencils were taken when he was 7, as punishment for colouring in one of his fathers designs because he wanted to help. He never got them back, and he never really drew much after that.

Him and Chloe used to make up little dance routines with each other, but since their parents were too busy to watch, they used to perform them in front of their teddy bears.

Speaking of teddy bears, Adrien has a ragged old brown one that he was given as a baby.

He called it the gorilla, because it used to keep him safe from night terrors just like how his body guard would keep him safe in the big wide world.

Adrien grew out of toys very quickly.

That’s what happens when you can have pretty much any toy at any time, they become a little mundane.

Adrien never got to go to school, and when Chloe started, he used to ask her about it all the time when they hung out.

Chloe always hated school, and hated talking about it. It was stupid and boring, and she struggled to make friends.

She doesn’t tell him any of that, though. If he knew she hated it there and had no friends, he would only get upset and she hated seeing him sad.

Despite what most people think, Adrien quite enjoyed those fancy events and galas when he was a child.

He used to get to eat lots of cakes and yummy food, plus he got to play and run around with Chloe most the time.

It was only when he grew up and had to mingle and stay in his seat that they grew annoying.

Adrien had started as a very cheerful and outgoing kid, but eventually by the age of 5 the combination of being trapped at home most the time and his only real friend being Chloe, he became extremely shy.

That’s what happens when you don’t really get much regular human interaction with children your own age.

The only real positive was that his speech and language was well above his age. He was used to interacting with rich adults who spoke with fancy words, and his own vocabulary benefited as a result.
