Confessions
Brambleclaw pushed silently through the undergrowth of ThunderClan's new home, his ears pricked warily. A familiar scent caught his attention and his eyes glowed with excitement in the pale sunrise. He sat down quickly and unconsciously licked a paw and drew it over his head and ears a few times. He stopped as a bright ginger, newly-made warrior, she-cat raced past him and pounced on her quarry, a mouse. She killed it with a swift bite then picked it up and turned to pad over to Brambleclaw, tail held proudly.
"Squirrelfur," he purred in greeting as he mentally silenced the rush of feelings that overcame him whenever he saw her nowadays. She nodded in reply then set the mouse down at his feet and sat down, curling her ginger tail around her paws.
"Brambleclaw," she spoke softly, a rare thing for the boisterous she-cat. "I wondered where you had gotten to." She glanced at him, surveying him with her bright green eyes.
"I-I was j-just thinking some things over," he replied, cursing slightly as he stumbled over the words. He saw the amusement in her eyes and felt his fur grow hot. He looked at his paws during the moment of silence and watched as she pushed the mouse into his view.
"Share?" Her voice quivered but he made no mention of it, instead dipping his head gratefully.
They bent down and took a mouthful each. Brambleclaw felt his fur grow even hotter as their cheeks brushed together. He swallowed the bite with difficulty and then glanced up to see Squirrelfur looking at him intently. "Brambleclaw," she mewed just as he said, "Squirrelfur, there's something…"
They both purred their amusement and he swallowed thickly before starting again. "Squirrelfur, there's something I need to say." He paused and watched Squirrelfur tense, with excitement or nerves he couldn't tell. Hoping by StarClan that he was doing the right thing, he continued. "I will always be here for you. I know that…" Once again he paused and swallowed, watching her gesture with her paw for him to continue.
"I know that I love you and I hope that you return that love." He looked away from her and was momentarily surprised when a purr escaped the she-cat's throat. He looked up as she pressed herself against him, twining her tail with his.
"I do you stupid fur ball," She mewed into his ear and his heart leapt for joy. Pressing his nose to her cheek, he turned to his eyes skyward where the sun had risen. A symbol, he thought, purring gently. A symbol of our new-found love.
