Cat Noir used graffiti to spray his paw logo on the wall to mark his territory that he owns the nightclub and if anyone messes up his nightclub, they get a fight they regret.

"I hereby claim this place in my territory" He announced.

"This nightclub is like a Halloween dance and kittens like you are far too young for an alcoholic milk. No VIP for you" The thug laughed while sipping his beer and having two ladies cuddle with him.

"I'm a 16-year-old Kitty for your information" Cat Noir rolls his eyes.

"Then come back when you have chest hair and adult pecs" The thug scoffed rudely.

Cat Noir growled lowly before jumping down to crunch the guy's legs.

"AAAAAAAAAGH!!! THE FUCK?!" The guy screamed in pain.

"Being young means I am faster, stronger, and deadly than becoming an adult" Cat Noir smirked and tossed the empty spray can at him.

"Hey there kitty cat" Ladybug found him.

"You really can't leave my ass alone, can you?" Cat Noir thought she wouldn't find him through the crowd.

"You're easy to find," Ladybug said.

"It's a nightclub, milady. You start a fight, you create a chain reaction" Cat Noir stays hidden in the shadows to hide his face, "Trust me, stampede fight is no survivor"

"What do you expect? That I dance?" Ladybug blushed.

"I expect you to let me be wild and free on the streets. A cat's gotta eat" Cat Noir said.

"Mmhmm?" Ladybug smirked.

"Stay out of my way, Ladybug. It's dangerous to face against me" Cat Noir said.

"And I said to reveal your face in the light. All I see is your body covered in a tight leather catsuit and a regular hoodie to hide your face. I'm getting tired of seeing you as a silhouette thief" Ladybug approaches him.

"My gorgeous face is not for sale" He teased her.

"Neither am I. Show me your face or I will continue to do it the hard way until your ass is completely sore where you can't get away from me" Ladybug demanded as she got closer.

"A secret is a secret!" Cat Noir caught her wrists.

"Agh! Your ego name Cat Noir doesn't sound secret when you dress like a black cat!" Ladybug does a cartwheel flip to immobilize him.

"Hey!" Cat Noir exclaimed as Ladybug pulled his hood back, revealing his wild untamed blond hair.

"Aww....what a cute kitten with blond hair. Was that so hard to reveal?" Ladybug teased but then got flipped by him.

"Don't ever do that again!" Cat Noir moves his hood back on, "And I'm no longer a kitten. A little fact on cats, the males are very territorial and always like to fight deadly" He jumped off and blended into the crowd to escape.

Ladybug tried to follow him but he got away again. She guessed he was probably heading back to the jewelry store since he didn't have time to rob since she got in his way again.

"Oh jeez. First, the relic store, and now the jewelry store again" Ladybug sighed.

She swings back to the jewelry store to see if he's there, "Here kitty kitty kitty" She calls out.

"It's getting annoying that I'm becoming your favorite target, bug. Don't you have other criminals to bust their ass in jail?" Cat Noir already took a piece of expensive jewelry while sitting in cat-style on the railing of the balcony in the second-floor lobby.

"They aren't like you" Ladybug turned around.

"And I'm nothing like them either" Cat Noir jumps down without injuries.

"What the hell are you?" Ladybug asked.

"Hmm....I don't know" Cat Noir pretends to be shocked, "Mysterious....." He blends in the shadows to confuse her before appearing at the glass display, ".....dangerous....." He chuckled seductively before stroking his claws on the table, "......Sexy......" He walks up to her to get her intimidated, "Maybe just a thief beyond what you think than other thieves" He paces around her to make sure she doesn't try anything.

"A master thief" Ladybug guessed.

"Maybe. That stunt was just beyond rude to see my face. I do wear a mask. Since you caught my face, are you gonna make wanted posters of me?" Cat Noir puts his hood down, letting out his cat ears headband.

"If I had a camera I would," Ladybug said.

"Hmph, a forensic artist you'll probably find. Do I look like a murderer to you? A killer? A psychopath? Not all thieves are evil" Cat Noir crossed his arms.

"No, but you certainly love to tease," Ladybug said.

"Yeah, teasing your perky ass until I whoop it" Cat Noir chuckled.

"Do you ever stop talking?" Ladybug glared.

"Do you ever stop trying to capture me? Like I said, I'm more than just a common thief" Cat Noir purred.

"I can see that, with your feline abilities," Ladybug said.

"Puuuuuuuuurrrrrrrr" He purred seductively to get her nervous, especially to smell her fear if she had one.

"Okay now you're getting on my nerves" Ladybug blushed.

"Am I? You were the one getting on my nerves whenever I robbed jewelry stores. It's kinda my way of thievery shopping style" Cat Noir chuckled evilly.

"Because I'm a hero, Kitty" Ladybug said.

"And I'm no villain. Everyone can believe criminals are like villains but not all are. You only want to think they are rather than understand their past life. Now if you excuse me, I got robbery shopping to do. Be a good lady and don't get in my way" Cat Noir said as politely as he could but knowing her, she never backs down. He grabs an expensive jewelry necklace off the glass case.

"We'll meet again someday, Kitty. I wasted enough energy for tonight" Ladybug said.

"And failed to kick my ass again. Maybe we should be friends instead of enemies" Cat Noir held her lipgloss, "That's a lot of gloss for your lips, don't you think?" He smirked at how amusing it was to pickpocket.

"Hey!" Ladybug snatched it back.

"Were you expecting a kiss?" Cat Noir chuckled.

"N-No!" Ladybug stammered.

"Meow, and I thought lovely ladies give cats a cute kiss" Cat Noir chuckled before doing his two-finger salute, "See ya again, bugaboo" He left the store.

The next day, Marinette headed to school, looking tired from last night. Unaware she wasn't the one to be tired from last night.

"Oh gosh" She got to her seat, she was glad to be on time this once.

Soon enough Alya came into the room, seeing her friend's tiredness, "Girl, have you been up all night?"

"Yeah, I had a little trouble sleeping" Marinette lied.

"Stressed about that chewing gum on the seat again?" Alya guessed.

"No" Marinette replied lowly.

"Girl, I think you should let that hot guy explain his side of the story," Alya said.

"Okay," Marinette knew she was right.

Adrien came into the classroom, looking exhausted from last night with only a bit of sleep he had gotten.

"Good morning, girls" He greeted them.

"You got 5 minutes to explain your story about yesterday" Marinette glared at him.

"Marinette, listen. I caught Chloe about to place gum on your seat but I was actually removing it" Adrien said.

Marinette gasped that she judged him too harshly, "Oh, I didn't know. I'm so sorry Adrien" Marinette apologized.

"Ahem," Alya cleared her throat to gesture her for more than just an apology.

"And I'm sorry for judging you too harshly. You just had good intentions and I jumped to conclusions. I hope you can forgive me" Marinette said.

"Apology accepted. I'm Adrien Agreste" Adrien said.

"Agh! You're talking with these losers, Adrikins?!" Chloe getting jealous.

Adrien does not want to go through this again, "Go back to your seat, please" Adrien said before going to his seat.

"Hmph!" Chloe scoffed and went to her seat.

"I apologize about her," Adrien said.

"It's alright," Marinette said.

"I hope that mysterious cat thief takes you away, Dupain Cheng! Away from my Adrikins!" Chloe still being a brat without realizing that everyone is glaring at her.

"As if" Marinette just rolls her eyes.

Adrien glared at Chloe for talking about his alter ego. Cat Noir doesn't hurt innocent people or kidnap girls.

Just then Ms. Bustier came into the classroom, "Good morning students. I'm sure you have heard that one of your classmates was arrested for a crime 3 days ago. I think we all owe an apology to Marinette" She said.

"We really should have noticed the faults in her lies," Nino said.

"What's going on?" Adrien asked, since he was new here and had never seen Lila at school nor what she did in school.

"Well, it's this former student and actress Lila Rossi, she spread lies which we believed and made us turn against Marinette. We trusted a stranger over our old friend" Nino said.

"And none of you checked your facts? Let me guess, a pathological liar?" Adrien pretends to guess.

"Yes, she made us believe Marinette pushed her down the stairs and Jagged Stone having a cat despite he's allergic to them," Alya said.

"Definitely worse than being framed for a crime you didn't commit. But you are all gonna make up for Marinette, right? Friends support each other?" Adrien looked at them all.

"Yes, we will" Alya nodded.

After school was over, Adrien had a photoshoot which he hated the most but couldn't back away from due to his father's orders. His tingling alarmed him the second he caught Marinette being clumsy by falling down the outdoor stairs in his reflex.

Marinette looked him into his eyes, "Oh, thank you"

"No problem" He blushed at what their position looked like.

"Oh! Sorry for falling in love...I mean falling on you! I'm such a clutz!" Marinette stammered.

"It's alright. These things happen" Adrien said.

"Yes, of course," Marinette said shyly.

"I'll see you soon," Adrien said before heading to his bodyguard's car. He did admit that the girl was cute with those rare blue eyes for Asians. Though he didn't know she was only half-Asian.
