I don't own the song.
Nino asked the girl with glasses for a design request to his 'boss' that he would like a cat burglar costume of a man.
"A cat burglar? Why not go to a masquerade?" Alya said.
"You said your friend wants something challenging, right?" Nino asked.
"Ah, yes. That's right" Alya replied.
"There's a challenge. My boss likes leather black material and he loves black cats" Nino said.
"Got it. Well, you give me his size and length too" Alya said.
"He's size medium and his length like he's 5ft and 5 inches," Nino said.
"Alright then," Alya said.
Later, Alya showed Marinette the client's length and size.
It was a very challenging request to whoever wanted this. Sounds like this unknown person is into leather or too much like a goth.
"Well I better make it as perfect as possible" Marinette began sketching the parts out before sewing them together.
"Heh, sounds like your client is into badass" Alya chuckled.
"Yeah. Who knows in a few years some comics might make heroes in capes and lifting cars, maybe even leap tall buildings in a single bound" Marinette said.
"We'll see. So far comic books only have funny characters" Alya said.
"That's why our old friend Nathaniel is the comic artist while his boyfriend Marc is the writer," Marinette said.
(A.N: Bisexuality was coined around 1892 but like some sexualities at the time, it was considered a disease. It was extremely rare in the 1920s in the USA. But now in the 21st century today, it is never considered a disease but a relationship to build for those who are happy)
Marinette added the leather material to create a catsuit man for the first time. The mask was simply leather masquerade style. Though she added some green lenses on the mask.
"Hmmm, perhaps this will do" She added a golden cat bell, "Aww….how cute" She squeaked at how adorable this person would look.
"He's gonna love it," Alya said.
"Heh, for a client that loves black cats, he sure is a mystery," Marinette said while her design on a mannequin, "I hope I'll meet him one day" She checked it out.
"Girl, you totally made this design a badass. If that client is a badass, he would totally love you" Alya said.
"Yeah, I can imagine he's a prince meowing," Marinette said.
"His assistant is kinda cute," Alya said.
"Really? What's his name?" Marinette asked.
"Nino," Alya said.
"Heh, you took way too long to find a boy that's cute for months" Marinette chuckled and added the claw rings to the gloved fingers.
"What about you?" Alya asks.
"None yet," Marinette said.
"Just because you hate how they disgustingly flirt with you whenever they get too close to you?" Alya guessed.
"Yep. That's right" Marinette nodded.

At the mansion, Adrien was in his coffin with the lid open, checking out the fashion ads by Marinette Dupain Cheng. He wished someday in the future these humans invent color ink to see better.
"Dude!" Nino startled him and Adrien quickly hides the magazine.
"Nothing to see here!" Adrien quickly straightened himself up.
"I saw it. No need to lie, sheesh. Anyways, your girlfriend said that the design will be done tomorrow morning" Nino snickered at his master's reaction, "I thought your ears are like a bat's hearing frequency"
"She's not my girlfriend!" Adrien exclaims.
"But your flustered face agrees," Nino said.
"Damn it" Adrien groans.
"You like her yet you never even heard her sweet voice like a siren to lure you to life" Nino making fun of him.
"Cut that out!" Adrien said.
"You totally want to see her? Or do you want another man or vampire to claim her?" Nino tests Adrien's jealousy.
"No, but I will find out where she lives," Adrien said and opened the windows.
"Whoa, what the hell are you doing?" Nino stopped him.
"Finding her," Adrien said.
"My dude, you don't even know where she lives," Nino said.
"Well, a little sightseeing won't hurt" Adrien turns into a bat.
"And a perfect opportunity to get the hell out of here while I'm human dead food to your dad," Nino said sarcastically.
"Pretend I just hypnotized you that I'm simply out to feed" Bat Adrien flies out the window.
"You got it," Nino said.

With Marinette, she decided to go look if there was any movie at the theater to see. Though it's a silent movie there's music.
"Hmmm….. Dracula is being aired again" Marinette saw a poster.
Unaware that Bat Adrien is trying to find her in the sky, he spots a familiar girl with pigtails, "It has to be her" He whispers.
He flies down the dark alley and morphs into a cat to get a little closer to her. Marinette sees a new theater performance of Count Dracula.
"Much better than Orlok from Nosferatu," Marinette said.
"Meow" Cat Adrien meowed and rubbed his sides on her leg.
"Huh? A black cat?" She looks down, "Well sorry, Kitty. Pets aren't allowed in the theater"
He stands on his hind legs to support his standing, begging her with his adorable big eyes, "Meow"
"Okay Kitty" She picked him up, "You may be adorable but this is one night you'll get to see the performance" Marinette scratched his chin.
Cat Adrien closed his eyes purring. As they head in, the receptionist says no pets allowed and when he is going get security, Cat Adrien's eyes become hypnotic to directly hypnotize the receptionist to let them in.
"On second thought, move along" The receptionist let them in.
"Huh?" Marinette was confused but then went in with the stray cat, "He changed his mind" She got into the theater room with Cat Adrien.
The people were confused about how she would bring an animal in here but Cat Adrien hissed, telling them to back off and leave him and his future bride alone.
"Emotional support" Marinette lied.
"Meow" Cat Adrien licked her cheek.
"Good boy" Marinette giggled.
Throughout the whole play, Cat Adrien never had someone take him to the human performance theater play. The actors did their roles perfectly. Marinette takes the strange cat and Cat Noir jumps out of her arms, purring around her legs as a sign of gratitude.
"You're welcome, Kitty" Marinette smiled.
He walks into the dark alley to hide, morphing back into human form. He sighs in love at how kind and compassionate she is for a beautiful human. He never smiled with joy for 2 centuries.
"My, she's really something," Adrien said.
He makes an incredible superhuman jump on the rooftop and pours out his feelings through the song.
It's been a while
Since I smiled, and meant it.
Lately I guess I've just been
Searching for purpose
For any incentive
To show me just where I fit in
x
Then suddenly I'm flying through the night sky
The city lit up down below
Watching and wondering and wanting to know
How far this adventure will go
x
Then she appears like a dream in a dream
And everything seems to slow down
She looks at me, smiles.
Could this be what it seems?
My feet haven't yet touched the ground
x
And suddenly I feel so free
Leaping through the city
I'm leaving all the pain far behind
So strong, I can't ignore it
And as I'm stepping for her
Will she be there by my side?
x
It's been a while
Since I smiled and I meant it
Those who know me would agree
Maybe I finally found my incentive
Tonight in Paris, my lady. (Yeah)
He imagined himself walking on the clouds while singing to himself, lying down on a heart-shaped cloud. But of course, he got interrupted by his mischievous cousin that snapped him back in reality.
"Goddamn it, Felix! What the bloody hell?!" Adrien hissed in annoyance.
"Been out of sightseeing or seeking for brides?" Felix asked with a smug smile.
"Don't…..even think about it" Adrien almost stopped himself from biting him in the neck.
"You know it's forbidden to bite a vampire's neck, cuz. Your father made that law" Felix smirked.
"That's enough, man. I was having a lovely night until you had to show up and ruin it. You never leave my ass alone" Adrien said.
"I'm just doing my duty," Felix said.
"Damn It. You really gotta stop letting my father tell you what to do. You said you hate babysitting" Adrien said.
"I wish I could," Felix said.
"Then pretend you're babysitting a mirror. Yeah, no reflection" Adrien said sarcastically.
"Very funny, Adrien," Felix said.
"I like my freedom and independence, Felix. My father can't just fuck up my life whenever he wants. Unlike him, I have compassion for humankind. My mother made me promise to never judge anyone by its cover" Adrien explained before sitting on the chimney.
"I see. Well, my own Dad deemed many humans as monsters when we are monsters to human eyes" Felix said.
"And?" Adrien said.
"And he had to foolishly prove it by putting himself in danger and got stabbed in the heart by a hunter," Felix said.
"That's one thing why Father wants to keep humans as slaves," Adrien said.
"Like brainwashing Nathalie to do everything for him? Yeah, I know" Felix said.
"Nino is not my slave but my best friend and brother figure," Adrien said.
"And yet you always tell him to pretend he's a slave to you," Felix said.
"That's right. And this Marinette I met really seems to love cute animals" Adrien said.
"Marinette?" Felix asked.
"That's her name. Nino told me" Adrien said.
"Don't tell me you just talked to a human directly. It's dangerous if she saw your dazzling fangs!" Felix facepalmed.
"I was disguised as a cat! Calm down!" Adrien assured.
"You did what?" Felix raised a brow.
"Yes, I pretended to be a tamed stray cat," Adrien said.
"Sheesh, not even a cute wolf puppy to try?" Felix said.
"Nope," Adrien replied.
"Always the cat? Man, you really gotta like another animal than just a cat" Felix said before jumping off the roof with him, "Liking one animal would cause a nasty obsession"
"I also use bat, raven, and owl," Adrien said.
"For flying, not admiring them," Felix said.
"Right," Adrien replied.
"Now let's get the hell out of here before the sun rises and burns us" Felix morphed into a bat.
"Got it" Adrien morphs into a bat too.
"I know what you're thinking. No vampire can survive in sunlight for more than 10 seconds" Bat Felix said while flapping his wings to fly.
"Yep. Turning to ash" Bat Adrien said.
"And you better not get burned" Bat Felix screeched like a bat.
"You said it's your duty to babysit me, wherever I go," Bat Adrien said.
They came to the mansion's open window and closed it with their telekinesis to not let in the ultraviolet rays from the sunlight.
"You do know your father might find a vampire bride for you. It's so gonna get you very pissed off whenever he decides your future" Bat Felix morphed back to human form.
"Yeah, it better not be too soon," Adrien said once in human form.
"Adrien!" Gabriel called him from downstairs.
"Or maybe now. Put on a badass face for once instead of cowering like a child" Felix said sternly.
"Yes. Coming" Adrien goes to meet up with his father.
"What is it now, Father?" Adrien asked him.
"You'll be getting along with Cerise as your bride. I expect great chemistry from you" Gabriel said.
Adrien and Cerise were sworn enemies and he remembers the times she would come up with nasty lies. Adrien never liked her that much and it made him angry to never trust a liar again. Not after what she did to violate his trust.
"No. I'm not bonding with her again. Not now, not ever!" Adrien said with a cold face.
"Why not?" Gabriel asked.
"Because she only comes up with lies! I don't care if you go insane with your anger but I am not your puppet! I have eternity in me and I won't let you make me bond with her again!" Adrien almost hovered in anger, never wanting to hear her name again.
"Sir, I told you he won't go with this" Nathalie warned him.
"He's going through it whether he likes it or not" Gabriel replied.
The telekinetic energy almost choked Gabriel for pissing Adrien more, "The only thing you're gonna get through is my pissed-off mood you gave me" Adrien did not care if anyone saw how aggressive he is.
"Adrien, calm down!" Felix knew he would get angry, "Uncle, do as he says. I told you this is gonna get him angry. Do you want your son to become savage like an animal?!"
"AAACK! Stop! Stop son! Let go please!" Gabriel choked.
Adrien then let go, "Be careful not to choke on your words, Father"
"Listen to him for once, uncle. That is not his future, it's what you want for your future" Felix said.
The vampires agreed, despite being loyal to him but they don't want to see the young prince provoked again.
"So be it," Gabriel said.
"Never bring up her name again!" Adrien snarled angrily and stormed off to his chamber to be alone.
