Five Truths About Mousewhisker
i.
As an apprentice, he struggled with how he fit in.
Berrypaw was the loud, boastful one; the one who commanded attention.
Hazelpaw was so full of determination, and she never struggled with their kittypet roots.
Mousepaw always felt out of place; like he was wearing a collar around his next that was too tight.
ii.
Daisy reassures him that he is only young, and one day he will know exactly who he is.
And she is right; one day he looks at his reflection in a puddle and realizes that he is confident, easy-going, and intelligent.
(and handsome, in his humble opinion)
iii.
If Hollyleaf would have stayed in ThunderClan, he thinks they would have become mates.
He will always regret not being there for her when she most needed someone.
iv.
When they're alone, he calls Berrynose "Berrystumpytail".
v.
One night he can not sleep, so he goes for a walk and stumbles across Ivypool. She is curled up in the dirt, sobbing over things that he doesn't quite understand, but he stays with her through the night and then he walks her back to camp.
They never talk about it, but from then on they form a friendship, and Mousewhisker always has an eye on her, alert for the first signs of distress.
He missed the signs with Hollyleaf; he won't miss them again.
Happy Halloween!
I luvvv Mousewhisker! I've tried to write two fics for him and just fell out of love with both, but one day I shall write a fic about him! I used to ship him with Icecloud, but since she's died I've shifted to Ivypool, for canon's sake. I also like him with Minnowtail.
I haven't read the new arc and don't intend to, so while I know Ivypool has a different mate, I kinda… throw that information out of window. *shrugs*
If anyone ever writes a Mousewhisker fic, please let me know!
