Fiction

Adderwing wandered through the forest. She was heading to go see Prickleheart at the dead willow tree. It slowly came into sight. There it was. it loomed in front of her. It seemed evil, or maybe it was just the fear making her see things. She was terrified of this meeting with Prickleheart. They were... What were they? Most of the time he seemed completely ignorant of her existence, but at other times he seemed to almost like her. "Tom!" She yowled out loud. Not loud enough for anyone close by too hear, but loud enough that she felt a little bit better.

As the dead willow came into sight. Adderwing ran forward. Looking around she could tell that no one was there. She frowned. He wasn't really going to be late? He arranged this! He should be here! Huffing she jumped into the tree. It wasn't the most safe place to roost, but she would be able to see Prickleheart coming before he could see her.

Prickleheart was scared. He didn't know what he was scared of, rejection maybe? What ever it was. Some little part of him didn't want to go see her. but most of him did. So he pulled himself up and trotted calmly to the willow tree. He was a swirling storm of emotions. He was scared, excited, hesitant, eager, but most of all confused. No cat ever had made him feel this way. Prickleheart got to the dead willow. No one was there. "Of course not," he hissed to himself. "Why would she want to see me?"

OOC: I didn't know I was capable of writing with this much emotion *cries for Prickleheart*

[Deleted]

OOC: Ah! I love them together so much! Sorry this isn't a very long post. I wanted to know how he reacted when she dropped in front of him. 

Adderwing watched him approach. He looked rather nervous. Kind of like how I feel, a part of her brain nagged at her. She licked herself a few times making sure she looked alright and dignified. 

She causally jumped down the tree landing straight in front of Prickleheart. "Nice of you to show up." 

[Deleted]

Prickleheart gave a little yelp when Adderwing jumped down in front of him. Then he cleared his throat and smoothed out his fur, acting like it never happened. "Nice of you..." He racked his brain for an insult. StarClan, this she cat messed him up! "To show up as well," he tried to act cool about it, but inside Prickleheart was dieing with lameness.

OOC: I know! They're so adorable!

[Deleted]

Adderwing's heart raced, but she acted calm. She raised an eyebrow casually, "Okay..." She looked at him. She wished he would give her a clue. She didn't know what he wanted her here for. What to say? What to say!?! She couldn't think of anything. "So..." She meowed, "Why did you ask me here?" She looked straight into his eyes trying to find an answer to her questions. Are we friends? Are we enemys? What are we!?!

[Deleted]

"Adderwing," the spiky furred tom began. His heart was thumping so loud he was sure the she cat could hear him. He closed his eyes. Just do it. Just tell her how you feel. "You make me feel crazy. When I'm around you, my head starts spinning and I can't talk straight. " he took a deep breath. "I like everything about you. I like your eyes, and your fur, your tail, the way you fight for what you believe in, the way your nice to most people." Prickleheart looked into her eyes. "I like you a lot Adderwing. And I want you to like me too."

OOC: SQUEAL

[Deleted]

OOC: I'm smiling from ear to ear right now!

Adderwing's mouth dropped. She gaped at the normally surly tom. Her heart seemed not too be able to choose between stopping and running like a rabbit's. Had he just said what she thought he said? Parents, sister, anyone help me! She liked him too, but how did she say that? 

"I... I... I, oh a, ah..." She stammered. She took a couple steps back. Her eyes not leaving Prickleheart's.

[Deleted]

His ears dropped. He curled his tail around him defensively, sitting down. "That's okay," he said, lowering his gaze. "Why would anyone like me anyway," he scoffed. The dark tabby's gaze hardened. "I just thought," he glared hard at the ground in front of him. "I just thought, maybe, after all these moons...I could love again." He turned around and lay down, his back to Adderwing.

[Deleted]

"I do like you!" Adderwing burst out, "I just..." She trailed off. She looked at her paws self consciously. "I just didn't really know how to say that..." She shuffled around, and looked away. "I also kind of though you... um... hated me." Was it this hard for her mother?!? Was it this hard for all cats?!? Why is it so hard for me?!? She cried in her head. 

[Deleted]

"I can see why. I'm mean to everyone," Prickleheart said dully, not moving. His thoughts, though, were racing with joy. She likes me? She likes me! She thought I hated her. She thought I hated her! I'm an idiot! but she likes me! but I'm still a jerk...

HAPPY NEW YEAR

[Deleted]

"You're not mean to everyone..." Adderwing tried to comfort him, but her heart was racing. He liked her, and he had actually said it! He actually said it! She moved over to his side, "You're not that mean to me..." She curled up next to him, "That night when you came over too me and sleep next to me." Heart heart pounded in her chest with the memory. It had been so sweet of him, and he was being so sweet right now. She licked his ears."You're a nice person. You're just a little defensive. I like you the way you are."

 OOC: Fiction Happy new year to you too! 2015!!! Sorry Adderwing's being a little cheesy.

[Deleted]

Prickleheart looked up at her. "I'm sorry," he said. "That I'm such a jerk. Ever since my mother died, I, I didn't want to get close to anyone because," his voice trembled, "because I was afraid I would lose them. but," he looked Adderwing in the eyes, "then I met you. I'm still afraid, but I think it's worth the chance. If you'll have me," he licked her on the head, "I'm yours."

OOC: I'm smiling so hard right now! Heehee. And that's okay, because Prickleheart is being WAY cheesy

[Deleted]

Adderwing cuddled up against Prickleheart. This was sweet. "I understand. Losing your family is hard. I lost my mother and father and even my sister. I was misrable for a long time." She looked into Prickleheart's eyes. "but I realized that I couldn't spend my life being sad. I needed to move on, and I ended up finding this clan and you."

[Deleted]

Prickleheart purred. He stayed there for a long time, never wanting the moment to end. "Adderwing," he said finally, "This may be a little sudden, but...will you be my mate?" he waited, a bit tense.

OOC: Sorry if he asked too soon, but I'm way excited right now! C:

[Deleted]

OOC: That's fine! I'll probably start dancing soon!

Aderwing shifted. That was a big question. Then a small voice ringed in the back of her head. It was the voice of her sister. Something that she had said a long time ago,  If we never try. We can never know what could be. That had been the night she had left her sister.

Adderwing nodded. This time she would do the right thing. "Yes Prickleheart, yes I will be your mate." She purred. Her purr was now louder than it had ever been. She was happier than she had ever been.
