Day 3:Prompt: Kittens

"Chat, no."

"But—"

"No."

Chat Noir pouted as he looked at the kittens in the box he held. He had found them out in an alleyway and no mother seemed to be in sight. Of course, he couldn't just leave them there! Without a second thought, he grabbed the kittens and made a beeline to Marinette's balcony where he knew that she would be able to take care of them. When he asked her, he was more than shocked to hear her response. Determined not to let these kitties become homeless, he tried to reason with his friend again. "Marinette, hear me out. I can't just leave these out there! They'll starve to death. They'll freeze to death. They'll thirst to death."

Marinette sighed. "Chat, 'thirsting to death' is not the right terminology."

"That doesn't matter. Just look at them!" Chat set the box down and picked up a black cat with stunning emerald eyes. "You're really gonna let Baby Noir die? What about—" Chat put Baby Noir down and grabbed a grey cat with blue eyes. "Purrincess Mari? Or—" Chat put Purrincess Mari down and picked up two calico cats with golden eyes. "Lucky and Charm? Or Sir Paws? Or Butterscotch? Marinette, I even named one after you! You can't let them die!"

"You named them?"

"Of course I did!"

Marinette sighed again. "Chat, believe me. If I could, I would take all of them in a heartbeat." She picked up Baby Noir hugged him to her chest. "But I live right above a bakery, Chat. And that means that there are health code rules. Having a pet is a big no."

"In the bakery, yeah. But what about having a pet that...that..." Chat Noir groaned, recognizing defeat. "I can't keep them myself. Father will literally kill me if I do."

Marinette thought for a moment. "I think I should be able to convince Maman and Papa to let me keep these two." She set Baby Noir down on the chaise and picked up Purrincess Mari. "I feel like Alya would like Butterscotch and I'm sure I can do something about the rest."

Chat Noir grinned. "Yes! I knew I could count on you! You only have to find a home for Sir Paws, though. I think I know someone who would like Lucky and Charm." Chat Noir picked up the box that contained the two calicos and winked at Marinette before making his grand exit. "Well, I'll be seeing you, Princess. Thanks again."

That night, Chat Noir tried to convince Ladybug to adopt Lucky and Charm.
