Five Truths About Oakheart
i.
Crookedkit is his best friend, and nothing will ever change that.
ii.
One day he pulls Rainflower aside and demands to know why she resents Crookedjaw so much.
She drags her tail underneath his chin and softly replies, "because he doesn't look like you".
It's the last time he ever speaks to his mother.
iii.
Bluefur demands his attention because she doesn't look at him like the other she-cats do.
She's interesting. She's stubborn. Being with her is thrilling.
But one day he realizes that he never loved her at all; infatuation is a cruel trick of the mind, not the heart.
iv.
He raises Stonekit and Mistykit to be best friends. Because if there's one thing that Crookedstar has taught him, it's that there is no greater friend than the one you're born beside.
v.
After Bluefur, he decides that he'll never take on another mate. He doesn't think his heart - mind? - can take it.
Then he watches Graypool selflessly take on the role of his kits' mother, and the smile that ghosts his lips is a new sort that spreads warmth to the tips of his claws.
Maybe this is love, he muses.
(Bonus)
Yes, he decides as he curls up to Graypool in the Warriors' Den, while their kits snore softly in the Apprentice Den, this is love.
The beating of his heart reaffirms it.
I've basically had a week off from school because it's been snowing and my whole town has closed down xD The good news is that I've had a lot of time to write! I've pumped out a bunch of these little things so updates shouldn't be so far and few in between, and I've started the final chapter of Dawn Frost.
So far the Breezepelt-fic is winning the poll on my profile, so don't forget to vote on that!
Remember, I will accept requests for 5T, so if there's a certain cat you would like to see a 'truth' about just let me know in a review! (It might take me awhile to get to them, but I'll try my best!)
