Sick of Arguing (Fox)

[Midnight]

Sunblaze sat outside the camp entrance, his golden eyes burning with determination. The tom's namesake worked for him at this moment: his short pelt was cleaned, for Sunblaze had spent a lot of time OCDing about it, for probably the first time in his entire life, that morning.

However, sunhigh had come, and Sunblaze had made his decision. He was sick of fighting both for Foxcloud with Eaglefeather and with Foxcloud over stupid miscommunications.

This was it.

Sunblaze stormed into the MidnightClan camp, stopping outside the warriors' den and taking a deep breath before stepping in and looking directly at Foxcloud. He padded over to her and sat down, quickly spouting out what it was he needed to say, "Foxcloud, I'd like you to be my mate." It was bold, if nothing else, and the tom's pride had clearly blinded him. He felt very strongly that Foxcloud would never reject; so strongly, in fact, that said rejection would probably make Sunblaze go completely insane.

[Foxpaw]

((And this is where Foxcloud goes,"Nope. Not interested." XD XD))

Foxcloud laid stretched out in her nest, a ray of sunlight flittering in and warming her ruddy pelt. She was frowning, licking worriedly at a slightly bloody hole in her paw pad. The thorn lay off to the side, easily discarded. She hardly even noticed the tom's arrival, to be honest. She was a bit put off with him, and she figured he was more than likely just going to his nest anyhow. At his announcement, her head shot up, and she simply stared at him with wide, green eyes. As realization slowly dawned on her, she quickly shot up, ignoring the pain in her injured paw, and softly nuzzled him. "You know, most toms take the she-cat out for a walk and ask that in the form of a question," she purred, a teasing edge to her tone even as her tail went for his.

[Midnight]

(Lol, that would be hilarious. XD)

"We've been through the walk situation several times now, though!" Sunblaze purred back, twining his tail with hers. "That's a yes, then, right?" The warrior asked, looking into Foxcloud's eyes. He noticed they were widened and couldn't stop his whiskers from twitching in amusement.


Outside the warriors' den, Eaglefeather listened in on the conversation, and held back a ridiculously loud snarl at Foxcloud's response. The tom then headed out of camp, jealousy and anger taking over. Why does he get her? He'll pay.

(Hmm.. Maybe in that Bridge of Battles plot, Eaglefeather kills Sunblaze in the middle of a battle and no one notices? Then he takes advantage of Foxcloud's sadness, unless she figures out that he killed her, and tries to become her mate? Whether that succeeds or not is up to you. I don't mind either way, it's just something that would be interesting to play out for the drama of it. XD)

[Foxpaw]

Foxcloud let out a soft laugh, nudging him with her head gently. "Yes, that's definitely a yes," she purred, green eyes bright. She couldn't imagine things being more perfect. For once, there were no interruptions and no misunderstandings.

[Midnight]

"I'm glad." Sunblaze meowed. He saw two of his littermates in the den; Nightgaze was crouched in the back of the warriors' den, her red eyes glowing and glaring at Sunblaze, while Crescentheart was settled in her nest, purring as she watched Sunblaze and Foxcloud.

With a glare back at Nightgaze, Sunblaze shot his nose in the air, she's just jealous because no cat in the Clan is stupid enough to fall for her! The golden tabby thought haughtily before looking back at Foxcloud and blinking, wondering what to say next.

[Foxpaw]

Foxcloud blinked, staring between the two siblings in confusion. For a moment, she felt a sharp pang. She had lost Graysquirrel in the sickness that swept through the camp, and although her sister Redfeather was still alive, they weren't as close. She half-wished she could share her happiness with her deceased sister, letting out a soft sigh before turning to her new mate with a slight smile. "Want to share a piece of fresh-kill?" she questioned.

[Midnight]

At the thought of food, Sunblaze's belly rumbled, and his neck fur bristled in embarrassment. "W-well, yeah, I don't see why not. I'm pretty hungry, anyways." The golden tabby then puffed out his chest, "After all, I've been out patrolling, hunting, and practicing my battle skills all day!" It was a complete lie, really. Sure, the tom had gone to the river that marked the border with StormClan, but it wasn't for patrolling. No, it was more for thinking. Watching the water flow under the ice, hard as that was, calmed Sunblaze and helped him think about asking Foxcloud to be his mate.

"So, then, let's go! Maybe we can find a piece that I caught earlier." The large tom pushed his way out of the warriors' den, tail curled over his back as if Sunblaze were the leader of MidnightClan, commanding his Clanmates to follow him for a patrol or into a battle.

[Foxpaw]

Foxcloud quickly stiffled her laugh. She wasn't born yesterday. She knew very well that Sunblaze probably hadn't done half of what he said, and she definitely had gone hunting with him before and had seen his skills in that area. "That would be lovely. I'm sure it's the biggest in the pile," she purred, playing along.

[Midnight]

"Of course! Do you expect anything less from me? Foxcloud, you have taken for a mate the best tom in the Clan! It's only suiting, after all, that I get the best she-cat in the Clan." Sunblaze mewed in reply, sitting at the fresh-kill pile. He quickly got the plumpest magpie he could, which wasn't all that plump at all, considering it was leafbare. The golden tabby tom set it down nearby and nodded, "Yup, caught this one all by myself. My skills in stealth allowed me to sneak up behind it, and from a whole tail length away, catch it! It didn't even know I was there, not even when I was delivering the killing bite!" Sunblaze bragged, doing his best to make it seem like he was telling the truth.

[Foxpaw]

Foxcloud had to fight down a laugh, eyes glimmering with amusement as she listened to the tom's tale. Which she knew was a tale considering she had caught that magpie earlier in the morning. It was the reason for her injured paw actually. Across the pile, she saw Thistlefur, who had come along with her, give the tom a disbelieving look, mouth dropping open slightly.

"Uh, genius, not to ruin your story or anything, but I'm pretty positive that's not how it went," he commented, snickering to himself and smirking slightly. Beside him, Swiftwind shot the pair an amused look but found it best not to comment.

[Midnight]

"How would you know? You weren't there!" Sunblazze growled at Thistlefur, "Besides, you don't know anything about hunting! Your mentor obviously didn't train you right if you don't believe it." The golden tabby crouched and began biting into the bird, his tail lashing wildly back and forth.


Poppykit slid out of the nursery with a determined look plastered on her face. She was going to catch some unaware cat's tail today, whether that cat hated her forever for it or not. With a quick glance around the camp, Poppykit found her target: Sunblaze.

The ginger she-cat stalked forward, around Sunblaze, and pounced on his tail, yowling in success as she landed on his tail.

Sunblaze screeched indignantly as Poppykit landed on his tail, and he turned around, glaring at her.

[Foxpaw]

Foxcloud openned her mouth then shut it again, unsure of how to go about it. She didn't want to embarrass Sunblaze, but Thistlefur was growling slightly, looking rather peeved. She sighed and was just about to scold the tom when Poppykit thankfully saved her. She chuckled, eyes softening as she crouched down to get on eye level with the kit, completely oblivious to her mate's glaring. If there was one thing she wouldn't let him get away with, it was being mean to kits. "Nicely done, little hunter," she purred.

Thistlefur snickered again, his temper quelling into amusement. "Some hunter... Can't even save his own tail from a kit..." he muttered to his brother, grinning wickedly.

[Midnight]

"Why thank you!" Poppykit purred elegantly at Foxcloud, padding alongside the she-cat, her tail curled above her back, "I plan to be the best hunter in the Clan someday!"

Sunblaze looked up to Thistlefur, then Foxcloud, then Poppykit, "Yeah, you got me good, little one, didn't you?" The tom purred, deciding to pretend he was more amused than annoyed. This lying stuff is so easy! So far every cat believes me, except for Thistlefur.. He's a problem. The MidnightClan warrior shot a fierce glare at Thistlefur before looking back at Poppykit, who was giving him a proud look, one that told Sunblaze that she won and she knew it. So I've got two enemies now. I see how it is.

"Well, I suppose I'd better be off to practice my pouncing skills some more, hm? This time," Poppykit said, "I promise I won't be using cats as my targets! My dearest apologies, Sunblaze." The she-cat sauntered off toward the nursery, her paws filling with the hilarity that she felt, that was great! He's such a mouse-brain! And that Foxcloud, she's too dumb for her own good.

Sunblaze settled down and got in another bite of the bird before being done and saying, "You know, Foxcloud, you haven't eaten any of this. Why don't you have the rest?" The together part's already been ruined. The tom thought bitterly.

[Foxpaw]

Foxcloud settled back down beside Sunblaze, oblivious to the she-kit's thoughts. "Ah, thank you," she purred, nuzzling his cheek slightly before taking a few bites. "I was starving," she purred, shooting Thistlefur a pleading look. The big tom merely snorted in amusement before lying his head on his paws.

"You shouldn't act like that, ya know?" Flashkit grumbled, shooting the she-kit a slightly peeved look as he padded out of the nursery. He didn't care much for Sunblaze, but he liked Foxcloud, and even if the warriors didn't know how rotten the little she-cat was, he certainly did. "One day the wrong cats going to catch you, all alone, and it won't end well." He may have been talking about himself or he might not. He certainly wouldn't forget how she acted to him when he first came to the clan, not by a long shot.

[Midnight]

"No problem, Foxcloud." Sunblaze meowed, puffing out his chest proudly. Sunblaze was the sole protector of Foxcloud always would be, and Foxcloud was the sole cat that truly mattered to Sunblaze, and that would always remain true as well. Sunblaze didn't even put his own littermates before Foxcloud, no matter what situation they were in. "Foxcloud..?" Sunblaze looked down at his mate and mumbled nervously.

Poppykit turned quickly around, arching her back and glaring at Flashkit, "You shut up," She quietly snarled, "You don't know anything about being a Clan cat, you stupid kittypet, and if there's one thing you know less about being a Clan cat, then it's me." Poppykit held her stare, not daring to look away from Flashkit. She was trying to put fear of her into his heart, though whether it was working or not, Poppykit didn't know.
