In this story they are adults and Ladybug does not exist but Cat Noir and his kwami does. Sometimes I love writing Cat Noir as a cat burglar because cats are very cunning, smart, and very good at stealing.

A bright full moon brought nightlight in the city of Paris. The city of love. But that's not all, a wanted criminal known as Cat Noir was very charming but also dangerous than any other criminal in Paris. Unlike other cat burglar women, he's the first man to appear as a cat-themed villain, lurking in the shadows of the night like a cat, searching in jewelry stores for puuurrrrecious shiny treasures to rob. Like a lone wolf, he does things alone. Other criminals want to team up with him but he refuses because he knows they just want to use him to get what they want.

At a nightclub, hookers were doing pole dances to entertain the partiers who are either drunk or just love to see ladies being sexy. But one man in a black leather catsuit, green feline eyes with a black mask, and cat ears, was a better pole dancer than the ladies. He does a catwalk on stage while the lights flashed rapidly. Lucky for him he has night vision like a cat to see in the dark. They glow electric green and his smirk was very handsome to make women swoon.

"Hello ladies" He winked at some ladies.

They swoon at him unzipping his zipper slowly to see his built abs.

"So handsome" One girl touched his pecs.

"Meow, like what you see? I don't do autographs" He smirked seductively.

"Yeah, my bad kitty," the girl said.

"And this bad kitty has claws" He purred but then heard a thug trying to tell the feline to back away from his girl, "Hmmm....okay" The feline man shrugged and jumped down on the thug's legs, snapping it.

"AAAARGH MY LEGS!!!" He screamed.

The feline man laughed and sat on the couch next to him, "Cats don't like to be threatened"

"Damn you!" The thug groans.

"Damn me? Too late. After all, I am Cat Noir, the dangerous criminal in Paris" Cat Noir laughed and left the broken-legged man on the couch.

Everyone in the nightclub was shocked by the stunt he did and they sure do not wanna see his bad side, "What?" Cat Noir asked why they were staring at him. They remained silent as he left the club.

"Yup, that's what they should learn. Never mess with the cat or get clawed to death" He chuckled and decided to do another robbery tonight. He hopes there are mice to eat, metaphorically.

-

Much later he came to a jewelry store and used his claws to cut a hole in the glass door and opens it from the inside, "Come to daddy" He got inside and disables the alarm system, "Meow, let's see what they got for this big bad kitty tonight" He wondered what jewelry they got.

He saw a pretty emerald on display and reached out for it and examined it, "Purrfect"

"I wouldn't do that if I were you, pretty boy," A female voice said.

He knew who it is and he is not happy to see her again, "Bonjour, Volpina. Miss me?"

"How can I miss the most wanted kitty?" She showed herself.

"Maybe because you're jealous that this badass kitty is the top criminal?" Cat Noir chuckled and dings his cat bell.

"Maybe and I got many tricks up my sleeves," Volpina said.

"Careful, sly fox. I don't want to get your blood on my claws. I just got my claws done" He flicked his claws.

"Unlike last time!" Volpina took out her staff.

"This time you'll get struck by bad luck!" He took out his baton and they engage in a fight.

They block from the top four times and then Volpina tries to swipe him off his feet but missed. While spinning the staff in different directions Cat Noir often blocks each blow.

But then he got tripped by her and she pinned him down, sitting on his stomach, "We could be partners again, handsome" She smirked.

He scoffed in anger, "You left me behind. I work alone"

"Awww..... Are you too hurt, Kitty?" She leans near his face.

He headbutt her face and kicked her off, "Not as hurt that I had to break up with you!"

"OW! You almost broke my nose!" Volpina groaned.

"Oh, boohoo! That's what you get, fox. Now if you'll excuse me, I got shopping to do" He put his staff behind his back and went to the display where the emerald is.

"Agh! Until next time!" Volpina leaves the store.

"There won't be a next time" He muttered and grabbed the emerald.

"Meow, it matches my eyes. Such a beauty" He purred and left the jewelry store.

The next day, at fashion design headquarters, a beautiful Chinese-French lady with bluenette hair and bluebell eyes was at her desk coming up with some inspiration for her next fashion design to impress her secret crush.

"Now what should it be?" She kept thinking, "Something like green and black?" She sketched.

That made her think of Cat Noir's suit and green cat eyes. Sure he was dangerous but he was very charming and handsome for a villain. It's impossible to resist his dashing looks, "Why does that cat have to be so charming?" She couldn't get him out of her head. She then goes for the next sketch.

"Hey Marinette" A charming voice startled her and she fell out of her chair.

"Oh hi, Adrien. How is...I mean, how are you doing?" She saw Adrien standing there.

Adrien helped her up on her feet, "I'm doing fine, Marinette"

"Any ads today?" She asked.

"Well, one at least. I'm impressed with your designs" Adrien said.

"Thanks. An inspiration of the infamous cat burglar. I know he's dangerous but that annoying smirk of his really gets us girls swooned every time" Marinette said shyly.

"Even criminals have charms these days," Adrien said.

"Not all of them do, Mr. Manager," Marinette said.

"Right of course. And Adrien will do please" Adrien smiled.

"You got your promotion last week. All that manager in training really made you a new person" Marinette giggled.

"Yeah, a better one too," Adrien said.

Marinette checks her watch to see how much time left of the shift was before going home.

"You like bad boys like Cat Noir?" Adrien teased.

"Maybe I do" Marinette giggled.

-

After her shift, she walked home it was nearly dark and it's not safe for pretty ladies like her to wander alone, "Okay it's nothing to be afraid of" She held her purse close.

Suddenly, a rapist behind her was about to snatch her when a shadowy figure tackled the rapist in the alley.

"Hello, remember me?" The figure with feline glowing green eyes smirked evilly.

"Not you Cat Noir!" The Rapist screamed.

"You know what happens to guys like you?" Cat Noir smirked.

Marinette heard everything but he indirectly saved her. She didn't know what to do but stood there and watch.

"Scared, huh? You're a mouse and cats kill their prey. I hate sick perverts like you, taking innocent women's virginity and giving them mental trauma that takes months to heal. You're on my list, pal. This is where your death meets in hell" Cat Noir broke his prey's neck and drops the body to the ground and saw her standing there in shock.

"Don't worry, I would never claw you, ma cherie. I saw what that sick psycho was about to do. You'll thank me later" Cat Noir winked seductively.

"Thank you? You just murdered a man." Marinette was still shocked.

"This man was wanted for serial murder as well," Cat Noir said.

"Are you gonna kill me? I know who you are. Everyone knows what you do" Marinette being brave as possible.

"Why should I kill innocent people like you?" Cat Noir circled around her.

Marinette breathed sharply by his intimidation, "Because you're a criminal and a villain at the same time"

"Well, I got a charming side to me" Cat Noir teased her.

"Hmph!" Marinette looks away in a scoff, "I may like animals but you're not even close to being cute like a kitty"

"Maybe someday I will to you, princess. Every princess talks to animals" The feline licked her cheek like a cat.

Marinette blushed when he did that, "Gross but not very charming of you, kitty cat"

"I know. Have a nice evening, princess" Cat Noir said before leaving her.

Marinette headed home to her apartment and got to her bed, laying down thinking of Adrien. Those gorgeous emerald eyes like the green forest were just so.....beautiful.

"Oh Adrien, if only I had the guts to ask you out," Marinette said and headed to her balcony to go fix the lightbulb. It was 2 days to get it fixed but her focus was on the fashion design. She took out the expired lightbulb and replaced it with a new one.

Just as she was about to head inside, a cat-themed man came upside down and startled her.

"GAAAH!" She fell onto her bottom in shock.

"Heya, princess. Spooky at night, huh?" He laughed and lands on all fours like a cat.

"Are you stalking me?" Marinette asked him.

"Just making sure my princess got home safely" Cat Noir smirked.

"I'm your princess? This is not a fairytale story" Marinette crossed her arms.

"The story has just begun" Cat Noir chuckled.

"Very funny, kitty, but the prize on you is high since you're a master thief" Marinette glared and huffs.

"Well I am many things" He held out a flower.
