Scourge was sitting on the moor near the lake. He remembered the first time he met Ashfur. He smiled to himself and felt a warm sensation he got only when he was with him.
"H-hello?" a shaky voice called to the bushes, "Who's there?"
"Ashfur... I was expecting you," Scourge said in a low voice.
That was the first encounter they ever had. Scourge giggled at the thought of how nervous Ashfur was.
Ashfur looked over at his mate, "What are you giggling about?"
"The first time we met," Scourge replied.
"Ah... Ha... I remember that," Ashfur lookeddown into the lake and stared into his reflection. He pondered his thoughts and then sighed, "Has it really been this long?"
"What?" Scourge was confused.
"That we've been dating," Ashfur replied, "It seems much shorter than that."
"Yes it has," Scourge smiled weakly, "six whole moons."
"I know..."
"Are you upset? You seem like something is bothering you," Scourge wrapped his tail around Ashfur's waist.
"Well- I was wondering if we should still keep it a secret," Ashfur said, "We've been going out and nobody even knows."
"I was actually going to ask you the same thing..." Scourge said softly and looked down at his paws.
"Really?"
"Yes," Scourge replied, "Although- I am hated by many and feared by all. I don't know how others would react if I entered Thunderclan."
"You're right... How are we gonna-"
"But," Scourge interupted his mate, "Nothing says you can't join Bloodclan with me."
"Wait... What?" Ashfur felt a rush of anxiety, "H-how do you think the others would treat me? If Firestar found out... He'll kill me!"
"Sshhh..." Scourge covered Ashfur's mouth with his tail, "If anyone touches you, I will murder them without hesitation."
"A-are you s-sure?" Ashfur asked him.
"I'm very sure. Nobody will touch you. Ever," Scourge leaned in for a kiss and purred softly. Ashfur closed his eyes, with slight anxiety and tears in his eyes, he let Scourge kiss him. Making the pain wash away.
