He was walking past Tantomile's house, when she came out.
"Hi Tant." Munku said glumly.
"Hello Munkustrap, how are you?"
Munkustrap smiled tiredly. "Not good. I just made the biggest mistake of my life, and I don't know how to make up for it."
"You mean Misto?"
Munku shot her a look.
"I'm psychic remember? That and Demmie was kinda shooting her mouth off about you two. What happened, how can I help?"
Munkustrap told her about how their relationship had started, his night with Misto, and about their fight after Misto had seen he and Demeter kissing.
" She caught me off guard and kissed me. I didn't want it or mean it and it may have cost me the person I love." Munkustrap sighed. "I don't know what to do Tant. I want to tell Misto I'm sorry, but I don't know how."
Tant smiled. "You're still in love with him. Find him, tell him you're sorry."
"He hates me and never wants to see me again."
"Just try. Tell him exactly what you told me." Tantomile said softly.
"I hope to the Everlasting Cat he forgives me." Munku whispered.
"If you are meant to be, he will."
Munku smiled, thanked Tantomile for the talk and began looking for Mistoffelees.
A few hours later Munkustrap was walking by the cliffs and saw a flash of Vicky's coat.
He quietly approached wanting to ask if she knew where Misto was. He was about to come out from behind a cluster of rocks, when he heard the sound of crying. He peered around the rocks and saw that Vicky was facing with her back towards him. He saw Misto, facing away from him, his head in Vicky's lap.
"I miss him Vicky. It's like I can't breathe. I want to be with him. I want to believe him when he says that Demeter kissed him, but I don't know if I can."
"Hush. It's all right Misto. I'm sure Munkustrap still loves you." Vicky replied softly, running her hand through her brother's hair.
Munku stepped out from the rocks.
"She's right. I'm sorry. I still love you."
Misto sat up wiping away the last of his tears. "Munkustrap. What..."
"Can you give us a few minutes Vicky?" Munkustrap asked.
The two others stood up. "Sure." she replied, walking away. "I'll be over here, call if you need anything."
Vicky walked far enough to be in calling distance, but enough to give them privacy.
"Hey."
"Hi 'Stoff."
"Do you mean it?" Misto asked softly.
"Yes." Misto, I am so sorry. Demeter set me up. She's been jealous ever since we got together. Ask Tantomile if you don't believe me, she says that Demeter's been shooting her mouth off since our fight."
Munkustrap pulled Misto into his arms and whispered in his ear. "I love you and I'm sorry if I've hurt you, but I'll understand if you don't want to be with me."
Misto sighed. "I believe you. I forgive you too. I can tell you mean it."
Munku looked at him and smiled. "You do? You can?"
"Yes." Misto smiled back "I still want to talk to Tant, but yes, I believe you."
Munku kissed Misto and grinned. "Thank you." he whispered.
Misto grinned back and called over to Vicky. She came over and they shared their news. The white queen smiled, her crystal blue eyes alight with happiness. She went ahead to let the others of the tribe know.
The two toms lingered behind, talking to each other.
"Just us from now on right?"
"Yeah, just us, I swear."
"Good. I love you."
"I love you too."
Misto smiled, squeezing Munkustrap's hand, and the two walked back to the yard.
