Hey... Hey... Mind if I tell you about... Félix and Bridgette childhood friends and thief AU? 👀
Félix father, Mr Richard Sphinx is a businessman, but he's secretly an agent who tasked in solving the case of magical jewelry robbery that involve a mysterious thief who disappeared years ago and also their connection toward the new thief that has same M.O.
Félix mother, Mrs. Sphinx is the thief that Mr Sphinx been looking for. She died when secret organization that looking for magical artifact killed her but staged it as an accident.
Félix Sphinx is the current thief, known as Chat Noir. He couldn't believe his mother would died in an accident and once he find the magical ring and the real reason of his mother death, he decided that he would avenge his mother while make sure his father won't capture him.
Basically Félix know the occupation of his parents but Richard doesn't know his late wife and son been moonlighting as a thief.
Richard and Félix has same goal : To discover the truth about the magical artifact and their wife/mother's death. They just don't know because they won't tell each other because of their occupation (agent/thief).
Félix everyday : "Google, how to live with the person who want to capture you but also don't know about you moonlighting as a cat boy?"
Also Félix : "Actually, which one is the biggest crime, being a thief or thieving while wearing a magical catsuit that may or may not make you adapt some cat traits?"
Richard tried to be there for Félix after his mother's death, but job won't allow him to meet him often.
For Félix, Richard being distant and his accidental neglect is the source of his heartache but also a bless, because that means he can moonlighting without his father notice his disappearance.
At least he has Bri and her family who will make sure that he won't feel lonely.
But sometimes they also make it hard to go to his heist.
Bridgette "Bri" Cheng is his childhood friends, they live next to each other.
Bridgette make it her goal to take care of Félix, end up the opposite as they grow older.
As they're in Lycheé, it's Félix's job to shove Bridgette out from her bed every morning and it's Marinette's job to make sure Félix eat properly.
Unknown to Félix, Bridgette is secretly Ladybug. A super heroine who tend to help the police to capture magical criminal and is competent at it but also super klutz that it make him wonder "What kind of hero being helped by a thief? (ب_ب)" "Shut up! I'm going to arrest you one day! (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ"
Chat Noir initially appear to be cold and aloof, but after he meet Ladybug and banter with her, he become more approachable. "I tame the cat! (・∀・)" "Shame that you can't even capture a tamed cat then.┐( ˘_˘)┌" "Shut up!!! (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ"
They tend to work together sometimes, especially when the organization member appear and surprisingly could be pretty in sync even when they're arguing in the middle of the battle. "You both argue like an old married couple. (・_・;)" ""Shut up you!!! (ʘ言ʘ╬) (╬☉д⊙)⊰⊹ฺ""
Bridgette become Ladybug because she doesn't want anyone to lose their loved one, after she got the earrings from her grandmother.
She has a huge crush on Félix but isn't sure how to say it or if he has a same feelings as her. It doesn't help that almost every time she gathered a courage and want to ask Félix on a date, she's needed as Ladybug.
Félix too has a crush on Bridgette but he doesn't really realised it.
"Hey Chat Noir" "Yeah?" "Is there a tsundere to french dictionary? (˘･_･˘)" "What in the world- ಠ_ಠ"
Bridgette likes to sew, knitting and crocheting. She also like to make a trinket or accessories.
Their friendship bracelet is one of her first creation and they've been wearing it for more than a decade. Red and yellow for her and black and blue for Félix.
Bridgette doesn't actually like Chat Noir because he's a thief but after several banter and coop she become fond of him and sometimes would ask something random to him. "Am I your google assistance now??? (눈‸눈)"
Bridgette is more shy toward Félix and more careful with her word since she doesn't want to step on his trigger, but toward Chat Noir she's brutally honest and Chat Noir responded the same.
Bridgette's a decent baker thanks to her parents occupation, sometimes Félix come for a free fresh baked pastry.
Félix can cook and it's really tasty, the appearance though... "Don't judge a book from it's cover just like don't judge a food from it's appearance. <(￣︶￣)>" "Uh... But for food appearance is also important... (;ŏ﹏ŏ)" "...touché. ಠ◡ಠ"
Will add more when more idea come!
