Russetfur x Blackstar:
If Everyone Cared
A soft breeze whispered through the night as a large white tom lay out in the middle of ShadowClan camp, his black paws tucked underneath him neatly. His amber eyes gazed up at the stars, his head lost in thought. A tawny she-cat padded up beside him, playfulness in her voice as she approached him.
"Up late aren't we tonight, Blackstar?" she purred.
"Russetfur," the tom growled, warningly. "Don't forget your place." The she-cat lay down beside him, tucking her paws underneath her and turning towards him.
"I'm not," she said, carelessly. Russetfur couldn't help but be careless around Blackstar. It was so easy to do. They were both close friends when the eyes of their Clanmates weren't on them. Blackstar's gaze was back on the sky, and Russetfur followed his gaze, her eyes sparkling.
From underneath the trees,
We'd watch the sky,
Confusing stars for satellites,
I never dreamed that you'd be mine,
But here we are,
We're here tonight.
Blackstar looked over at Russetfur, and looked at the sleek, soft fur that covered her body. She was beautiful, and he knew that. She was the most beautiful cat he had ever seen. He loved the way she moved, especially when she ran and he was able to see the way her muscles rippled across her pelt. He hadn't ever cared for someone as much as he cared for Russetfur in his entire life. If there was only some way that Blackstar could tell her...but there wasn't. She was a few moons younger then him, and he was a leader. It could never work. And when he lost his last life, she would have to go on without him. That wasn't fair to put that pain on her, and what if she bared his kits? There were so many dangerous questions going through his head.
Singin' amen I, I'm alive, I'm alive,
Singin' amen I, I'm alive...
Russetfur looked towards him and met his gaze, her eyes swimming with love as she looked towards him. Could he see it? She hoped not. Why would such a powerful tom ever love her? He had his Clan to take care of. All he thought of her was that she was a silly friend of his, someone he could be himself around. But she loved that part of Blackstar. She let her eyes trail slightly down his pelt, admiring his muscular shoulders. She looked back at the sky again, so many things running through her head. I want you, Blackstar. And I need you, she thought to herself. Things that she would never be able to say to him. Three little words that she wanted to say so bad, but they would never be able to be spoken to him. At least not from her anyways.
If everyone cared and nobody cried,
If everyone loved and nobody lied,
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride,
Then we'd see the day...
When nobody died.
Russetfur sighed lightly, keeping her eyes on the stars. Every night before she'd lay down to rest, she would send a silent prayer to StarClan that one day Blackstar would return her feelings. Hearing her sigh, Blackstar turned his head towards her.
"Something wrong, Russetfur?" he asked softly. She turned to look at him, her eyes wide in emberassment.
"N-no," she said, attempting to hide it. "Not at all. Did I sigh outloud? I didn't mean to." Russetfur turned her head away from him, but she couldn't for long. She couldn't stay away from him for long.
And I'm singing
Amen I,
Amen I, I'm alive
Amen I, Amen I,
Amen I, I'm alive,
Blackstar noticed something different tonight. All around them, there were tiny little lights blinking on and off. Fireflies. He rarely ever saw fireflies anymore, either that or he never concentrated on his surroundings anymore. It was the perfect moment...the perfect set up...the perfect time. He could kill, he could lead patrols, he could lead a Clan, for StarClan's sake! He just couldn't tell a she-cat he loved her? There was something extremely wrong with that picture.
"Fireflies," purred Russetfur.
"What?" asked Blackstar, looking at her. Russetfur had got up and was streatching, padding over to one of the blinking lights and hitting it lightly with her muzzle.
"They're fireflies, silly," she mewed.
"I knew that," Blackstar said, standing up as well. "Why are you chasing after them like a kit?"
"I do crazy things when I'm feeling this way," Russetfur said softly, blinking her amber eyes.
And in the end the fireflies,
Our only light in paradise,
To show the world they were wrong,
And teach us all to sing along.
"Feeling what way?" Blackstar asked, a bit surprised and a bit hopeful. He looked at her, a confused look in his eyes.
"The way that I'm feeling right now," Russetfur explained, her eyes sparkling towards him.
"How are you feeling right now?" he asked, sitting down and setting his tail neatly over his paws.
"There's a light airy feeling in my heart. The feeling that all the world is okay," she mewed, concentrating on following a firefly with her eyes.
Singin' Amen I, I'm alive, I'm alive,
Singin' Amen I, I'm alive,
"If I told you I had the same feeling, what would you say?" Blackstar asked, looking at her calmly. Russetfur immediatly stopped concentrating on the firefly and looked at him, hope filling her eyes.
"Do you know what feeling that is, Blackstar?" she mewed quietly. Blackstar nodded firmly, blinking.
"I do," he said, gruffly. "I know this feeling."
"Then tell me it," Russetfur purred, walking over to him, and licking his ear.
If everyone cared and nobody cried,
If everyone loved and nobody lied,
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride,
Then we'd see the day that nobody died,
If everyone cared and nobody cried,
If everyone loved and nobody lied,
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride,
Then we'd see the day...
That nobody died.
Blackstar couldn't help but let a purr rumble deep in his chest when Russetfur licked his ear. He sighed softly, then turned toward her, looking her straight in her eyes.
"This feeling is known as love," he mewed. Russetfur began to purr even louder.
"Correct, Blackstar," she mewed softly. "And I feel it every time I'm around you. I love you, Blackstar." Blackstar felt as if he could burst with pride and happiness.
"I love you too, Russetfur," he purred. "With all my heart."
And as we lie beneath the stars,
We realize how small we are,
If they could love like you and me,
Imagine what the world could be.
Russetfur could have leapt around in joy, but she stayed where she was, and purred, licking Blackstar's cheek. "My love," she whispered softly in his ear.
"Yes?" he purred, intwining his tail with hers. Russetfur leaned forward and touched her nose to his.
"I've loved you since the beginning," she mewed.
If everyone cared and nobody cried,
If everyone loved and nobody lied,
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride,
Then we'd see the day when nobody died.
Blackstar smirked, now realizing why she had been so keen to be friends with him when Tigerstar was dead. "I haven't loved you for that long," he mewed to her. "But I've loved you long enough."
"Just knowing that you love me is a pleasure to me," Russetfur mewed quietly, licking his ear again.
"And knowing that you love me brings a light into my life that I have never seen before," Blackstar mewed, purring even louder.
If everyone cared and nobody cried,
If everyone loved and nobody lied,
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride,
Then we'd see the day when nobody died.
Russetfur's heart swelled with pride. Her leader. Her love. Her friend. Her Clanmate. Her everything. She knew he finally accepted her. Finally, she was able to express her feelings freely in front of him. Everything that she had been keeping locked away inside her heart she could let out. "Blackstar," she mewed.
Then we'd see the day when nobody died,
Then we'd see the day when nobody died.
"Yes?" he purred, looking towards her.
"Thank you," she mewed, looking into his eyes, pure love and joy radiating from her gaze.
"For what?" Blackstar asked, confused.
"For loving me," Russetfur purred.
