Level Two (Clem!)

[Clemintine]

Pebblestar smiled softly at the tom in front of her, she scouted over closer to him her upper body under his that was hover over her. She tilted her head at him and then couldn't help but laugh "Of course I like kits other wise I wouldn't have nine of them" Her body vibrated with the purr that came from her. "Well.. to be truthful..." she suddenly felt embarrassed and she glanced to the side 'Not to be rude but usually large toms such as yourself.. don't like kits.. it was just a question" Why did she feel the need to defend herself? It was just a question. She shifted slightly and glanced back up at him with soft green eyes.

How long had they been in here? and what if another cat walked in? Would it look like they was... Pebblestar suddenly felt her face grow hot and she cleared her throat tilting her head back and looking upside down at the entrance to her den. It was quiet in TalonClan so the majority of cats must have been gone. She relaxed her head looking back at Tigerfang and smiled she reached up, her nose was now close to his cheek, she paused for a moment as if allow the suspense to surround them, what would he do if she licked his cheek? Her heart beat drowned out the silence in her ears and she slowly laid back down with a sheepish smile.

So much for being a leader..
A leader has nothing to do with this!

She felt her inner self scolding her and she sighed gently, why couldn't he just show a sign that meant he liked her.. did he even like her? ugh.

[CaℳI]

Tigerfang didn't say anything when she justified herself. He just took in her scent quietly as he laid there with her, trying to figure out if a cat he had admired from afar really was here with him in this moment, cuddling a huge tom that was normally aggressive, intimidating, and slightly violent. It couldn't be real, right?

but the way he felt in that moment was so real to him, he could have practically let the words he had been refusing to say slip out of his mouth ever so softly. Yet he didn't. He couldn't bring himself to be that dumb. What if she didn't return the feelings? He refused to admit it, but he would have truly been crushed into a million pieces of tabby cat.

He could feel his mouth drop slightly as she leaned in to his face. Is she going to... And then it was gone...

She laid back down. Flirting. That's what it was. Why couldn't he see it? A blind idiot could have seen it, yet Tigerfang couldn't.

He felt himself swallow hard, nerves taking over. Other then in battle, he had never felt this type of rush of emotion. Needless to say the emotions of battle wern't quite the same as the emotions that came with laying next to Pebblestar, but the rush was slightly alike.

"Oh of course. Big toms normally eat kits in their spare time." He joked, sporting a grin on his face before adding, "It's a reasonable reason to ask. Not like we're going to have kits together..." He let that sank in. Sure, he was hinting at something, but he didn't want her to question it. He felt the want to lean over and lick her cheek, but started thinking it was inappropriate. Instead he lifted his tail quietly, letting it drape over her side. A more protective motion. Maybe she would think he was just protective of her because that was his duty. In reality, it was because he cared for her more then anyone else he had ever met.

[Clemintine]

The she-cats eyes widened when Tigerfang said big toms eat kits in their spare time, she stared at him the laughed "Tigerfang! That's horrible!" She couldn't help but laugh at it though. She stretched her forepaws out also stretching her body as her fore paws resting on his chest. She smiled up at him as her paws kneaded at his chest gently, she wondered how long they would lay like this or when he would get annoyed of her and go off to do what ever large toms did.

"It's a reasonable reason to ask. Not like we're going to have kits together..."

Her ears twitched and she looked up at him eyes wide, she wasn't paying attention and her claws pricked out poking at his skin under his fur. She quickly pulled her paws away allowing her claws to slip back inside "Oh! I'm sorry.. I um.." Her whiskers twitched "Well.. I don't see why n-" she felt his tail rest against her side in a protective way and her heart sunk down into her chest. He doesn't want to have kits with you he just wants to protect you. She chewed at her bottom lip feeling embarrassed for what she was about to say, she would have slipped up and told him perhaps they would be able to have kits together when he only saw her as his leader! 

Pebblestars heart beat raced she felt like it would bust her eardrums, she felt like a young and gullible apprentice who had fallen for her mentor when actually her mentor just saw her as a pathetic kit. She felt her eyes prick and quietly cleared her throat feeling a wave of awkwardness and heart ache wash over her. Just get up, just get up and tell him you have duties to do that you are sorry to have bothered him.. no you're not sorry! You're the leader... pfft some leader... falling for a tom that doesn't even like you, forcing him to be in this position. 

she tried to press her body against the rock floor and farther away from his as nonchalantly as she could, her tail curled close to her body so not to touch him and her paws rested tightly against her chest. She swallowed hard and glanced off to the side unsure of what to do or say. She had felt so playful and flirty like perhaps they could... but now she felt confused and hurt and to be truthful a bit awkward. 

[CaℳI]

Tigerfang was relaxed here with her. He could feel his body let go of all tension as he laid there next to the beautiful she-cat. His eyes glistened with wonder at what they could possibly be.

He felt a light poke. Claws? Followed by Pebblestar stumbling over her words as if she was a newborn kit. He wasn't sure what had happened. Then the motion to move away. He felt horrible. He felt like he had done something wrong. "Hey...it's alright." He said, his eyes setting on hers as he wondered what was wrong with her. Why did she have to be so confusing?! It was a mess of mixed signals between both of them. "Pebblestar...I'm really sorry. I didn't mean...I'm just...not sure what I did wrong." He sounded like a young mate trying to apologize to an angered she-cat. He was trying to be open with her, hoping that he didn't mess anything up. Why was this so strange? Why was all of it so weird right now?

He stiffened up for a moment, trying to collect himself from the pile of confusion that was now building up in his mind. Did she want him to leave? He wasn't sure anymore.

Maybe she's thinking about her mate...that's right. Her mate. She has a mate. I'll never be anything to her but someone to be friends with. I should stop. Stop all of this. I should back off and apprentice her friendship. I don't think she wants this. He was doubting himself hard now with no idea of what he had done wrong.

[Clemintine]

A soft sigh escaped the she-cat as she glanced back at Tigerfang, well if things went bad and awkward she could always kick him out of the Clan... She held back a laugh and started at him with a soft look, her green eyes seemed to be alluring now instead of sweet and playful. She leaned close to the tom back to where she was before, her nose almost touching his cheek. She inhaled breathing in his scent slowly and then exhaled slowly allowing her warm breath to wash over his fur. Just a simple act to show him her feelings was all she had to do so why was it so hard? What if Tigerfang ran away as well...? Her heart didn't want to think of such things.

The she-cat breathed in once more before her light pink warm and surprisingly soft tongue connected with his fur as she gave his cheek an affectionate lick. She hovered there for a moment as if embarrassed to face him, soon she layed back down her eyes gentle yet still holding on tot he alluring look. "You don't need to apologize... You haven't done anything wrong.."

Kick him out! Hurry before he can freak out and run away and tell all of his tom friends!
She mentally rolled her eyes and smiled gently at him.

[CaℳI]

The oversized tom felt a chill run down his back, even though they were in the heat of Greenleaf. He stayed perfectly still, not wanting to scare her away from him this time. He couldn't help but smile, the largest most stupid smile his face could even produce. He felt horribly silly for feeling this way, but it wasn't his fault. I blame her. She's the reason I look so incredibly awkward right now. And then she licked him. She licked his cheek, and yet he hadn't grabbed her by the neck and ripped her apart. It was a miracle.

He shook his head at her still smiling as she moved away from him, her face looking as hot as his own must have. He closed his eyes for a moment, taking in what she had just done before he opened them again, setting his bright yet glazed yellow eyes on her. He leaned down to her, touching his nose firmly against her own cheek and taking in his time with her slowly. He wanted to just sit here with her for the rest of his life. If only she knew that he hated being touched. Why did it feel good to be nuzzled and swooned over by her? Gaw! She's too perfect. I hate that I don't hate loving this. He felt like he might start shivering as his nerves caught up to him. He nuzzled his nose on her cheek before slowly moving towards her face. He smiled as he gently licked the fur on her forehead and slowly nuzzled his nose against her warm fur.

If anyone else had seen him like this, his whole reputation for being a huge, intimidating, badass would have gone down the mountain. He oddly didn't care. Not like he had ever really cared about what others thought about him. Most cats in the clan knew that he had a very compassionate sweet side, he wasn't afraid to show that to Pebblestar. He laid his head down for a moment, not moving his eyes off of hers. "Wanna know a secret?" His tone was playful and flirtatious.

[Clemintine]

A soft purr made the she-cats body vibrate and she relaxed against the small floor her body seemed to melt as his nose touched her, her soft green eyes closed and her purr became louder and more noticeable. She held a small smile but other than her tail her body was completely relaxed and clearly enjoying this pampering, her tail rubber up his hind leg caressing it slightly. She remained relaxed as his warm breeze filled her cheek fur and his wet nose tickled her cheek.

She enjoyed this and didn't want him to leave but soon his nose was gone and she opened her eyes in a small panic but instead was meet with the warmness, and wetness of his tongue against her forehead. Her eyes widened slightly and she felt her face get hot like she would be as red as a death berry. She relaxed her tail around his leg as she stared up at him shyly. [/I]Did he really like her? Did he.. love her?[/I] She felt her heart skip a beat and her eyes followed his as he layed his head down.

"Wanna know a secret?"

His tone was playful and flirtatious this sparked something in her and made her smile widely, she scouted in closer to his face her eyes slightly closed giving her, her own flirty look, her nose was close to his as she teased him lightly with her tail rubbing up his leg and now across his side. "What's the secret?" her own voice matched his tone of playfulness and flirtatious but her voice was softer and more of a whisper adding seductiveness to it, something the leader had never really shown anyone.

[CaℳI]

Tigerfang could feel his eyes half open, the gaze that he had set upon Pebblestar was obvious. Any cat could have seen that he wanted her to himself. She was practically his, yet somehow it felt impossible. Such an oddly charming pair, and there he was barely understanding how she felt. Could this amount of affection really be a just friends thing?

He could feel a short smile come over him once again as she gazed at him in such a seductive manner. He chuckled lightly at the feeling that was practically beaming from his heart and overtaking his entire body. "I don't let anyone touch me. Actually, I practically ripped Ivyheart apart the other day because she bumped into me." He laughed once again, a deep sound coming from his throat.

"but with you..." His eyes opened up a bit as he felt slightly nervous. Could he even say the words? Tigerfang wasn't the type to open up unless he felt it was worth it. Is she worth it? He thought back moons over. He had never allowed a single she-cat to get this close to him. Not even once. Of course she is. He swallowed hard, pushing the nerves back. Something so easy, yet it felt like the words were sticking to his throat. "With you, it feels right." He said it as if it was simple to say.

[Clemintine]

The she-cat purred and rubbed her tail against his fur as she stared at him smiling, his words shocked her at first and she thought that he wanted her to get away, her tail froze and she blinked at him. Oh StarClan have I been touching him this whole time and he hated it? She felt the need to flinch away from him. "but with you.." but with me? What with me what? Her eyes opened wide with curiosity and she inched closer.

With you, it feels right."

Her gaze soften and she relaxed, she was unsure what to say next but her eyes sparkled with joy, it felt right with her? Him and her? Felt right? She felt like squealing but held it in and smiled giggling softly. So she could touch him and he.. liked it? Her tail began to move again but slower as if there was suspense behind each movement. She placed her paw on his shoulder relaxing it there, Pebblestar was over whelmed with the joy that she could touch him, a large tom that no one else could even get near, but she, she could touch him and cuddle with him. The she-cat leaned in closer to him voice a soft whisper but she was close to his ear "With you everything feels right her face burned with embarrassment, she couldn't believe that she just said that but she tried to pull off another alluring and seductive, however this time it was mixed with a sweet smile. It was true, everything did feel right with him and she liked it.

[CaℳI]

OOC: And then Tigerfang said "Lets have kits"....xD by the way, what is the time frame where you would like them to actually agree to be mates? I figure we can drag it on at least until her kits become apprentices since there isn't much that can happen with another litter until then...or we could go ahead and get them together...I was thinking after that we could have them "try for kits" for some time with no success and Tigerfang will blame himself xD "I'm too old! I must be infertile!" xD

IC:

Tigerfang could feel his heart skip a beat as she rubbed her tail over his body. It was in this moment that his feeling became more real to him. It suddenly dawned on him how much he really liked this cat. He had been so clueless. Never- not even once had he had this strong of a connection with a she-cat. There had been a few that had tried to make advances on him back when he was a young Leafclan warrior, but he had always found it irritating instead of charming and seductive. He wanted her to be his and his alone. He would find a way to make it happen. Hope still filled his eyes. Maybe there could be something between them after all. He was willing to try as hard as he could to make what he wanted turn into a reality.

With you everything feels right.

That's exactly how he felt. She even had the ability to speak the words he wanted to say. He could feel the heat from her voice on his ear, making it twitch a bit. He smiled as she looked at him. This was perfect. "Oh, does it now?" His tone was flirtatious, his eyes were alluring. He had been told they were his best feature after all. He breathed in, taking in the moment. Wondering what would come out of all of this in the end.

[Clemintine]

OOC" I would like for them to be mates like *O* NOW<3 I ship them xD and I kinda wanna wait on the kits cuz where she is the leader also for more plots with them and more bonding :3... we should buy Close bond<3. Also will we have them fall asleep together and then we could roleplay them waking up or like she wake up and hes gone or or owo I don't know..?

IC:

The den was beginning to slowly grow darker and the Clan was growing so quiet you could drop a pebble and it would echo -heh- Pebblestar felt her fur tingle as the den darkened with the setting sun, right now it had a pretty tint of orange that was slowly darkening. She giggled playfully and shifted her wait nuzzling her face into his neck. This was a perfect moment and they both seemed to have the same feelings, how or when this happened she was unsure but it did feel right.

She heard his flirtatious tone and pulled her face away to look up at him "Yes it does" she purred the words with a soft whisper. She tried to be flirty but ended up yawning showing off a light pink tongue, she smiled shyly at him. She didn't want him to leave. She nuzzled her face back into his neck and sighed gently.

OCC: ugh sorry for crappy replied I wanted it to be better but I have stuff I need to do ;w;

[CaℳI]

It was growing dark out, the sun was pulling behind the cliffs of Talonclan. A beautiful view that he could see looking out her den from where he was laying with her. He felt his eyes start to droop as she spoke.

Next thing he knew the sun was coming up behind those same cliffs. It had felt like a few seconds. What? Did I really sleep in her den?! He looked over at her. Gah! She's so cute sleeping! He tried to shift his weight without waking her, pulling himself and twisting his paws like they were made of quicksand. He had to get out of here before the whole clan saw him taking the walk of shame! Or at least that's what they would call it. All the rumors would float around! Not that he cared too much. He just liked to keep his personal feelings to himself.

He sighed quietly as he finally made it to his feet, trying to get her off of him without waking her. It was obvious to him in this moment that this could never happen again. He wouldn't let himself get so attached to a cat and not know how she felt about him. He had never taken to crushes or love. Besides for what he felt now, for her, he has only experienced lust.

Lust was easy, simple, harmless...or at least it was harmless for him. He had never really stopped to think about she-cat whos hearts he might have crushed along this journey they called life. Was it even his problem? Was it even fair to think about it that way? If Pebblestar crushed him...he wasn't sure what he would do. He didn't want to think about it. She was worth the risk. She was worth all the risks he could ever even imagine taking.

He sneaked out of the den smoothly, his steps quiet as the orange light of sunrise sparkled into Pebblestar's den. And just like that...he was gone. Off to find something for Pebblestar.

[Clemintine]

She didn't remember falling asleep, her last words or if he had even responded to her. A beam of sunlight brightened the leaders den and she scrunched up her face rolling over to block the sun out of her eyes. She sighed and layed there for a few moments before feeling a soft breeze in her fur. She rolled onto her stomach and sat up glancing around, she tried to remember what had happened and her face felt hot. Her mind quickly raced to a big question, did they... No, no she was tired not on catnip, she giggled quietly before looking over. Did he fall asleep with her... or was he too embarrassed and left..?

She looked down her ears laying back, was Tigerfang ashamed to be seen coming out of her den? She felt her heart ached as she layed her chin down on the rock floor looking up at the dens entrance with a sad look. The Clan was still quiet as the leader swayed her tail back and forth lost in her thoughts. She stood up and walked over to the entrance of her den stretching her way out into the camps clearing, perhaps Tigerfang wouldn't talk to her ever again and he would be seen with a new she-cat by sunrise tonight. She felt the mix of heart ache and anger but then guilt, he wouldn't do that to her.. he lov-liked her right? She smiled to her self like an idiot.

[CaℳI]

He wasn't sure how long he had been gone. Probably quite a while. He padded back into camp, a beautiful display of daffodils and tulips hanging out of his mouth. He had to go all the way down the flipping cliff, and then to the river that they crossed on their way to the gathering place every moon. Then he had to pick the flowers...and kill a huge snake...and then he had to turn around and climb up the darn mountain. He had even stopped and placed the flowers down to kill a squirrel. He had remembered when she said it was her favorite one time. He had to climb a tree to get that darn thing. Please like these. He thought with a sigh as he padded back into the clearing holding the flowers along with the prey. He hoped the flowers wouldn't be overly smashed.

He really liked this she-cat. He was falling so hard for her. Tigerfang barely wanted to admit it to himself, but he knew deep down in his heart it was true. He padded slowly back towards the den, peaking in before he stepped foot inside. She's awake! He tried to smile with the gifts in his mouth as he places them down next to her, tilting his head with the innocence of a kit shining in his eyes. He coughed to clear his throat, "I got these for you..." His voice was soft as he looked at her, hoping she would like what he brought her. He felt nervous, a rare feeling...unless he was around Pebblestar. He sat down calmly, trying to hide the nervousness. He figured they could take a walk maybe. She deserved some alone time. The clan was doing fine. She could take a short break at least.

He had decided somewhere between the idea popping into his mind, and his journey back up the mountainside, that he had something important to tell her.

[Clemintine]

Pebblestar was about to start her day after she finished grooming herself, the she-cat was twisted around licking down her spine and side, when she turned out to lick down her chest she saw Tigerfang standing the and jumped up in surprise. Oh geez, how long has he been standing there? she felt her face grow hot as memories of the night before flashed in her mind, she looked down smiling "Good Morning Tigerfang..=" her ear twitched and she looked up quickly noticing the flowers in his mouth and her ears laid back as her face felt like it was on fire. She couldn't help a small nervous giggle that came from her, Tigerfang holding flowers..heh. She looked down feeling bashful hearing him tell her he got them for her.

The she-cat walked over to him, she felt like she had butterflies in her stomach again, no one had ever got her flowers before. She rubbed her cheek against his chest nuzzling against him as she sat close to him "So that's where you went?" she had to tilt her head back, way back, to look up at him smiling. She had worried over nothing, Tigerfang was turning out to be perfect, although to her he had always been perfect. She glanced down seeing the squirrel and her smiled faded only a little, she couldn't help but remember the day she was in the camps clearing with Snowsplash, was it wrong of her to have such a hard time getting overt he tom? Did it show she would be a bad mate or a good one? Was it a bad thing she had loved him and didn't just want to up and drop him? He had fathered her first kits ever, he had been her first crush, first mate.

Pebblestar's ear twitched and she looked back up at Tigerfang and smiled "You're very sweet Tigerfang" she felt all soft and cuddly towards him and just wanted to tackle him -not that it would really work.. he was so much larger than her.- She nuzzled his shoulder with her cheek now. Tigerfang was good for her, she couldn't just mope over Snowsplash forever but it seemed to be hard for her, even when there was such an amazing tom before her, who brought her flowers! she felt her insides squeal like an apprentice who was smitten. She stuffed her feelings for her lost mate deep inside and purred softly rubbing her side against Tigerfang.
