Tigerclaw growled under his breath as he trotted ahead of Graypaw and Firepaw being told to test the hunting skills of the two apprentices by Bluestar who was to lazy to do it herself. Like he really wanted to spend time with the kittypet and the kittypet lover.
Slowing his pace he lashed his striped tail for a moment before he turned to face the two apprentices rolling his eyes, "Graypaw, hunt in that direction" He flicked his tail to the left, "Firepaw opposite direction" Tigerclaw hissed out tail twitching to the left. He frowned at them glancing at each other but not separating and doing as told, "Now!" He snarled out angrily causing the two apprentices to bolt.
"Mouse-brains" He sighed out resting his left fore paw on his head for a moment before he took a breath and trotted off to the left to follow Firepaw deciding that it would be a wonderful feeling to see the apprentice fail at hunting. He followed the very fresh scent trail though he had to change his direction not needing to be scented out and ruin watching the apprentice fail.
Pausing when seeing ginger fur Tigerclaw crouched down and slipped underneath a bush, making sure to be very low to the ground not wanting to rustle the leaves. His tail tip twitched a little as he watched Firepaw seemingly stalking something else that he couldn't see.
Watching closely Tigerclaw slowly crawled forward wanting to see what Firepaw was hunting to judge more easily, though he frowned a little when seeing it wasn't any prey but a kittypet that was clearly obvious to Firepaw being right there. Growling under his breath he dug his claws into the ground glaring at both the apprentice and the kittypet holding back the anger to rush forward and teach Firepaw a lesson and that trespassing kittypet but he held back slightly with the fact he wanted to see what Firepaw did in this situation.
"..You're on ThunderClan territory..kittypet, you need to leave..without that mouse" Tigerclaw bit his tongue to stop from stepping out of the bush and scaring away the kittypet that had actually killed a mouse and give it some scars.
"ThunderClan? What's that? Well doesn't matter, this is my mouse so I will not leave without it just so you can eat it" The nerve of the kittypet saying that and not listening but Tigerclaw was a little surprised by seeing Firepaw arch his back and snarl at the kittypet.
"ThunderClan is a fierce clan of wild cats! This mouse belongs to ThunderClan," Firepaw hissed angrily, "You will leave without it or have some wounds and an empty belly! You do not need this mouse"
Tigerclaw flicked his tail a little at Firepaw words impressed by them and how the apprentice was even threatening the kittypet that looked startled. "Your probably just saying that so you can take the mouse!" This kittypet had nerve and Tigerclaw was eager to see Firepaw back up the threat of causing the kittypet wounds.
Shuffling his paws eagerly Tigerclaw smirked at seeing Firepaw lunge at the kittypet with a growl and the fight begun, he stalked out of the bush after a few moments of watching. He thumped his tail against the ground at the short yowls and hisses enjoying the sight of the two battling though his eyes focused on Firepaw who was bleeding from the flank and cheek from lucky blows by the kittypet.
"That's enough!" Tigerclaw snapped out as he charged forward and bit into the kittypet's scruff hard before giving a harsh shake earning a pained screech from the cat. "Get back to your twoleg before you die here" He snarled out sending the beaten kittypet scurrying away yowling out fearful insults.
"Tigerclaw..? Were you watching..?" Firepaw questioned with a breathless ragged tone that made Tigerclaw glance over to check that the apprentice had no serious injures.
"I was, you're lucky I was, couldn't even fight off a kittypet without me having to help you" He scoffed earning a low hiss from Firepaw making him turn to face the other, "Look at you.." Tigerclaw breathed out with a shake of his head though his gaze wondered over Firepaw's small form, tail lashing a little.
"I was fighting him off! I was even winning before you jumped in" Firepaw protested sharply scowling, "He only got in a few lucky blows, I did worse to him" He grumbled out heavily slumping his shoulders.
"Let me see your cheek" Tigerclaw growled out flicking his ears backwards waiting for the apprentice to obey. He sniffed Firepaw's bloody cheek when the others head was tilted up and gave a soft growl at the strong mixed of blood and Firepaw's scent mixing well together.
"..You think it'll scar?" Firepaw asked softly making Tigerclaw snap out of a daze he didn't know he was in, "My flank feelings like it's on fire.." He mumbled out lightly.
"Get over it" Tigerclaw scoffed out sharply before he gave a rough lick to Firepaw's bloody cheek and stepped forward knocking the stunned apprentice over. He moved the apprentice to be on his belly, "Don't move Firepaw" He growled out lowly when Firepaw started to struggle to get away from him.
"What are you doing Tigerclaw?" Firepaw rasped out ears flat to his head.
"Shut up" Tigerclaw ordered sharply as he pressed his belly down against Firepaw's spine and started to grind himself against the smaller toms back while digging his claws into the ground beside the apprentice head to make sure the other couldn't dart away.
"..W..What are you doing..?"
"Told you to shut up Firepaw" Tigerclaw snarled out biting into the apprentice scruff and pulling to quiet the smaller tom as he groaned into Firepaw's fur as he started to rut against the soft body underneath him.
**********
Tigerclaw lashed his tail as he groomed his stomach while glancing over at Firepaw who was doing the same but looked far more uncomfortable, "What just happened will not be spoken of Firepaw," He stated firmly as he finished up cleaning his fur. "Understand?"
"...Yes" Firepaw said weakly giving a few more licks to his lower spine and flank before stopping and shuffling his paws ducking his head.
"Good, continue hunting when the sun is down come back to camp. If I find out you spoke of what happened I'll see that you end up like the kittypet you chased off" Tigerclaw stated firmly before he got to his paws and trotted away sniffing the air for a trace of Graypaw's scent.
