A: Affection
"If you'd quit being a mouse-brain and let me think for just a second," the ginger she-cat snapped furiously, her tail raised high above her head and bristling in annoyance as she glared at the much larger dark tabby in front of her, "we could get this over with! But I really doubt your attention span is long enough, even for that!"
I want your attention.
The brown tom's eyes glittered with carefully controlled anger as he stared back at the she-cat. "If you'd quit acting like a cornered rabbit and tell me why you've been stranger than usual these past few days, I wouldn't be late for the dawn patrol."
I'm worried about you and want you to be honest with me.
The younger of the two lowered her tail slowly, looking away swiftly. That was enough to prove to her significant other that something was wrong. Squirrelflight never wavered, not for anyone. "I...I just..." She shuffled her paws on the ground slowly, sitting back on her haunches. They were now blocking the entrance to the warriors' den, but neither seemed to noticed. "Don't get the wrong idea, because I... I don't want anything to be different between you and I... but I..."
Help me out, here. I want you to know how I feel.
Brambleclaw snorted impatiently as he rolled his amber eyes. "Idiot," he grumbled.
You're being silly.
"Excuse me?" The smaller hissed, though the anger in her eyes was short-lived. She gulped once, sighed, before words began to spill out of her mouth in a swift torrent. "I just wanted you to know that just because you're deputy now and everyone looks up to you, you're still the same you to me, and I want it to stay that way. I want us to stay the way we are, because you're mine and I'm yours and even though it may not seem that way to everyone around us, I care about you, and-"
Before she could finish, she found herself wrapped in the muscular forelegs of the big tabby. He held her close to him for a long moment, until she gave into the embrace and sighed in content. "Quit being stupid and come on my patrol with me."
Nothing's changing between us.
These things will be very short, since they're only drabbles. Yeah. XD
The italics are what they really mean, by the way~
