Prologue
It was late evening, the sun was just about to disappear for the day, and the stars were becoming more visible in the beautiful night sky. Squirrelflight and Ashfur were sitting close together beside the warriors den, leaning both their heads together and smiling at each other, "You know I'll never leave you...You mean the whole world to me, and I would do anything for you!" He emphasized the anything, and entwined his tail with hers. Squirrelflight felt uncertain on the inside, but she purred and buried her head into his chest fur. She looked up at Ashfur, with her eyes twinkling with joy, his was, too. "I love you, too, you little furball," she joked around, and Ashfur softly put his paw on hers. They held that position for a few heartbeats while looking up at the stars. Then, they both turned around and walked into the warriors den together and fallen asleep within several heartbeats. Leafpool, Squirrelflight's sister, had shot a few glances at them with kind eyes while they exchanged heartwarming words between the two lovers.
Two moons later during the day, Squirrelflight and Leafpool were talking to each other. While Ashfur was on a border patrol with Cloudtail, Dustpelt, and Spiderleg.
When the group had come back, Squirrelflight had turned around to see Ashfur padding up to her. She had an unusual expression on her face, and Ashfur saw it, his instant smile turned into a frown. He became confused, "Squirrelflight, what's wrong?" , Squirrelflight let her tail droop to the forest floor, and she was was unsure of what she was going to say. She looked at the earthly ground and looked back up at him with regret, as if she still loved him. She frowned, "Ashfur, I don't love you, anymore." Ashfur laughed as if she said something that made him giggle a good bit. Then it hit him, he opened his eyes from laughing and frowned, " y-you serious?" , his heart beating with fear and sadness. "Yes, Ashfur...I wouldn't lie." Right then and there, his heart shattered into a billion pieces. He got up and walked off with his tail dragging on the ground.
A few days later, he came up to her, "I just realized something." Squirrelflight, however, did not look up at him, but kept her eyes past him, feeling slightly irritated, "What?" Ashfur looked at her, " I realized that you still act like a little kit." When Squirrelflight heard him say that, her anger started to boil inside of her. She looked him straight in the eye with eyes as narrow as a hawk. She stood up and walked away to get some fresh air outside of ThunderClan camp.
(A\N: So, that's the end of the prologue! & the reason I titled the fanfic as Do You Really Want to Hurt Me is because of a song I know & that I really like. It's an old 80s song by Culture Club. & it reminds me alot about Ashfur & Squirrelflight. & it's funny how it came to be that how they came to be, splitting up & becoming mates again. & exactly how they act around each other. Because I had a very similar situation as Squirrelflight & Ashfur. Anyways, this is my first fanfic. However, I will accept any criticism & fixes for help. Hope you enjoyed!)
