Okay, I like the revamps to the site and everything, but what's with the "Author has written so-and-so amount of stories for insert fandom here" at the top of everyone's profile? Don't get me wrong, I like knowing what people have written about before even scrolling down, but it feels really weird. At least it doesn't piss me off like the ads next to the first part of people's profiles. xX
Anyways, I decided that we needed to get back to the "omg our love is forbidden!11" angst at once XD, so here's the newest one, with a surprise PoV, as well as a (VERY) crack pairing. Woot for randomness. Enjoy!
I see you over there, with him.
You think I'm not watching, but I am.
Honestly, Silverstream, give me some credit, will you? You've been one of my closest friends since you were in the nursery and I was an apprentice. You're my sister's best friend. Don't act like I'm oblivious. I know love when I see it, and no matter how unbearably bitter I sound, I know you feel it for him.
Do you remember the day you sneaked out of camp, with the rather pathetic excuse of needing to make dirt, and I followed you, just out of curiosity? I'd noticed you'd been doing this a lot – making up stories just so you could leave the RiverClan camp, sitting by the river's shore staring out into ThunderClan territory – and I wanted to know exactly what was going on.
Now I wish I hadn't.
Because whenever I see you with him, making it so painfully obvious how you feel (discreet to others, but blatantly clear to me, I suppose only because I know), I find myself caught in a maelstrom that teeters between the edges of anger and sorrow.
Some days I want to just walk up to you and tell you I know – that nothing good can come of it, that your relationship with him can't end well, that it'll all end in heartbreak or exile for you. But I know better than that. If I offer so much as a speck of concern, you'll just take it as hovering reminiscent of a queen to her kits and shy away even more, and StarClan knows that's the last thing I want.
So I sit on the sidelines, and watch. Watch and feel as though I'm getting ripped apart inside.
Oh, and guess what hurts the most? The fact that you chose not just a ThunderClan cat, but one of my closest friends from outside RiverClan. I could've accepted this little rendezvous of yours were it with Fireheart, or even Tigerclaw.
But no. It had to be Graystripe, right?
I mean, I understand that I can't help where your heart goes. Even I, the most stubborn cat in the world when it comes to losing precious things like this (and I flinch even now referring to you as a mere thing, a possession, something that can be replaced), realize that.
I've known you forever, Silverstream, even though we're still young. I've played countless games with you when you were an apprentice, humoring you and my sister – now called Mistyfoot – whenever you wanted me to participate. I was the one you came to about almost everything.
Now… am I being replaced?
I guess, I think to myself as I turn away from the heart-rending sight of you talking animatedly to Graystripe, my real question is:
What are you trying to do, Silverstream?
Yeah, uh... for those of you who couldn't be bothered to figure it out and instead want me to just tell you, the one talking is Stonefur. (scratches head) Toldja the pairing was random... but not so unbelievable if you think about it. I mean, Silverstream is/was best friends with Mistyfoot, who is Stonefur's sister, so it's not totally impossible.
At any rate... hrm. I have no clue what I'm going to make the next drabble about, and I probably won't think about it for a while, due to the Kingdom Hearts video parody I'm making. (And NO, I'm probably not going to put it up online. It's mostly for my own amusement, as well as to tinker with Windows Movie Maker. -sweatdrop-) So don't pester me to update, because, to quote my profile, I will ignore you, or sic my vampiric muses/dangerous favorite characters on you. Savvy?
