Ashfur treaded through the woodland, thick forest scents flooding into his nostrils. He felt upset. He had, used to love Squirrelflight, but now, he has fallen for someone else. Brambleclaw. A tom-cat! He felt his broken heart swell up emotionally. He bunched his muscles and sprang upwards, his retractable claws scraping the wood of the log. He had a sense of doubt. If Squirrelflight wouldn't love me, neither would Brambleclaw. He felt like yowling his fears and regrets to StarClan. The spotted tabby cat's sensitive whiskers drifted through the smallest breeze, his gaze shimmering in the moonlight. He crept under a shrub, sliding off towards ThunderClan camp, a blazing fire, seeming as rage flooding through his emotions, challenging his sadness as he was rejected harshly. He decided not to be overly dramatic, his dark blue eyes focusing on his paws, until he felt someone else's fur bump and tangle between his.
He thrust his head up, about to release his anger on the clumsy cat that bumped in to him, until he realized something. His dark brown stripes running through his body, his deep amber eyes. He ran into Brambleclaw! "Oh, I'm sorry." Ashfur stumbled back, forcing himself to look irritated rather then nervous, trying to scowl. Brambleclaw glanced at Ashfur, his eyes locked on him. "You don't have to apologize," Brambleclaw drifted forward. "Was I interrupting something? You seem to look quite down." There was a small flash of guilt in his eyes. Oh, he knows.
"Yes, I am feeling upset. We all have emotions, don't we?" Ashfur retorted sharply, as if he were about to lash out on Brambleclaw. There was an uneasy tension.
Brambleclaw exhaled slowly. Ashfur felt his heart skip a beat, nearly. "...Sorry, Brambleclaw. I forgot you were deputy. I just felt stressed." He turned, his tail stiff and nervous. "It's fine, Ashfur." Brambleclaw replied, setting his tail on Ashfur's shoulder then slipping his tail away. "My patrol is heading back to camp, but I'm going to do some more hunting. You can come if you'd like."
Really, Brambleclaw? You forgave me that easily?!... I... Nevermind. Ashfur turned to face Brambleclaw. "Sure." His meow had an icy tone to it. Brambleclaw began to trod forward, with Ashfur following behind. He looked up and found himself staring at Brambleclaw's rear end, his tail erect in the air. He was staring right at Brambleclaw's balls. He felt his ear tips grow hot and he decided to trot ahead.
What is with me today?
