Only In Dreams
A/N: Okay, I'm gonna tell you right now: IF YOU DON'T LIKE CRACK, DON'T READ THIS STORY. I'm only writing crack. End of story. Also, tell me if I'm wrong, but Brackenfur DOES have green eyes, right?
Chapter 1: That
BrackenSquirrel (Brackenflight, Squirrelfur)
Two ginger pelts slipped out of camp, brushing against each other as they slipped through the thorn tunnel. Well, one was quite as ginger as it was golden brown.
"Careful Squirrelflight," Brackenfur murmured, his green eyes worried.
Squirrelflight rolled her eyes. "I'm not sick Brackenfur, I'm pregnant."
Brackenfur rolled his eyes now. "So? You need to be careful. You're carrying precious cargo."
Squirrelflight purred with amusement. "You worry too much," she said, licking his cheek. "I'm fine. Now, are you going to lead the way, or is this patrol going nowhere?"
Brackenfur licked her shoulder, chuckling. "Come on, let's get going." Then he turned and, walking with Squirrelflight at his shoulder, he pushed through the undergrowth and headed toward the WindClan border.
They padded through the undergrowth side by side in silence for a while, but it was Squirrelflight who finally broke the silence, her voice quiet for once.
"Have you told Sorreltail yet?" she asked quietly. She stared down at her paws.
"Have you told Brambleclaw yet?" Brackenfur shot back.
The two stopped walking, turning to face each other.
Squirrelflight stared into his eyes. "No," she said finally, her voice muted and her eyes clouded with anxiety. "You don't think he suspects anything?"
"No," Brackenfur said. "He wouldn't be sending us on all these patrols together if he did."
"I know," Squirrelflight said, looking down.
"And you aren't mad at me?" he asked, taking a step closer.
Squirrelflight looked up. "Why would I be?" she asked, blinking in surprise.
Brackenfur stared at her, obviously willing her to understand. "About… Sorreltail. She's… she's having my kits."
"Oh. That."
"Yeah. That."
Silence reigned for a few moments before Squirrelflight spoke. "I'm not mad. You loved her." She looked up and gave his cheek a lick. "I don't care who you used to love, because I have you now."
Brackenfur chuckled. "Yes, you do."
A/N: I know it was kind of short, but it was okay, right? You liked it? Review with your thoughts and any ideas you have for me! Also, I'm taking requests!
Off to take over the world,
Crazy Girl
