The Crow and the Moon

[Twix]

Crowpaw had just peeked his head out of the apprentice's den. He was looking for his next victim for his pranks, but instead spotted something much better. Sitting in the clearing was a white and black she-cat, another apprentice from what it seemed. She was beautiful. I must know her name! Purring to himself, the tom steadily padded towards her. As he neared her, he took a seat beside her, close but not too close for their fur to be touching. "Hello there m'lady, how are you on this fine day?"

Moonpaw jumped in suprise as a handsome black tom settled down next to her. Their fur was brushing and her insides started jumping. Moonpaw was not the type to be able to deal with flirting. She was shy and prone to falling in love.

"Um… good," She squeaked, shifting awkwardly. She felt so strange under the gaze of this sleek black tom. What was his name? She was dying to know.

Moonpaw didn't really get crushes, but she knew the difference between a hot guy and and a normal tom.

[Twix]

The black tom gave a soft purr at the she-cat's reaction, her voice coming out a little more high pitched than usual, from what he suspected. He didn't move closer towards the she-cat, but he did curl his tail around the two of them as he continued, "I'm so glad to hear it. A beauty like you deserves nothing better." The black tom smirked again, rather pleased how this was going so far. She was so awkward and shy, and it only made him like her more. What a cutie. "What's your name, if I may ask?"

Moonpaw jumped in suprise as his sleek tail curled around the two of them. She looked shyly at Crowpaw. "Moonpaw," She whispered. She was scared, but it felt really, really good at the same time. She stared at her paws.

[Twix]

Crowpaw had to hold in a chuckle as he watched the she-cat jump from his tail wrapping around him. Still, he took the hint and moved his tail away somewhat, but not fully. "Pleased to meet you, dear Moonpaw." The name made sense, she was just as beautiful as the moon, if not more so. He took the chance to introduce himself as he watched her stare at her paws. "I'm Crowpaw."

[Deleted]

Moonpaw felt like a love-sick warrior. Ugh, what's happening to me? She thought in disgust. but she ws to shy to say anything, do anything. Her mothers words exhoed in her mind. Don't resist, it makes them want you more. Moonpaw hoped that her next action would make him go away. but did she want that? He was making her feel good, uncomfortable yet giggly.

Moonpaw took a breath and moved closer to him. She forced a smirk onto her face.

"Crowpaw," She whispered into an ear. She tried to look like he looked, but she felt all skitterish inside.

[Twix]

"Oh my, this is a sudden turn, don't you think?" The black tom found it interesting to watch a shy cat put up such an act, and an obvious one at that. Still, it only made her seem even more adorable to him. He decided not to move any closer to her, but didn't move away, either. He figured she would decide what she wanted to do on her own. Until then, he was more interested in getting to know her. "Tell me about yourself, would you, dear?"

[Deleted]

Moonpaw blushed furiously and her smirk was dropped. She glanced nervously at the tom and pawed the ground, kicking up dust. "I- I'm an apprentice." She stuttered. "I'm from TalonClan."

Facepaw. Obviously.

"I'm… shy…" She said hurriedly. "What about you?"

The black apprentice continued pawing the ground. She continued blushing.

[Twix]

This time, Crowpaw couldn't help himself, and a small chuckle escaped him. Maybe he should ease up on the small she-cat. The black tom scooted away from her a little, giving her own space in an attempt to make her feel more comfortable. "Well obviously we're both Talonclan apprentices. I'm just another tom, really. I started training late- if you didn't already know that." He didn't really find himself very interesting, just another cat among the many clans. Though there was the fact he started training late. Those who hung around him could tell when he was still such a large kit in the nursery. He had only been given his apprentice name at his eighth moon, two moons later than normal.

[Deleted]

Moonpaw let out a sigh as he shifted farther. She flushed as he chuckled.

When he finished talking, Moonpaw stared at her paws. "Oh," She murmured. Her black fur shone in the light. The uncomfortable silence lingered a bit longer than she was comfortable with, so she blurted out:

"I'm hot!" She instantly flushed in emaarassment.

[Twix]

After what the she-cat had just blurted out, Crowpaw really couldn't help himself, and he almost fell over in a fit of laughter. Did she really just say that?! He could understand her being shy, but was he really making the encounter really this awkward for her? The thought actually made him feel.. kind of guilty, and he stopped laughing. "L-look, I'm sorry, I suppose I was trying too hard there.. I'll go away if that's what you want." The tom's demeanor changed almost instantly, even to the point of stuttering when he first began to speak. Was he really this awful to be around? He began to get to his paws already, expecting her to send him away.

[Deleted]

{XD I just realized what it sounds like…}

"No, it's okay!" She mewed quickly. She needed to make some new friends. Crowpaw was handsome and seemed pretty nice. At lesst he wasn't flirting as much. She gave a shy smile.

[Twix]

Crowpaw's ears flicked up in surprise at her outburst. "..Really?" Though he was surprised, he was also relieved. He didn't want to throw away the chance of getting to know this pretty she-cat. He sat back down again, a good ways away from her this time. When she flashed that shy smile at him, it almost made his heart melt, and he was utterly glad that she had wanted him to stay.

[Deleted]

She watched as he sat down and she purred. "Just don't flirt anymore with me today," She meowed playfully.

The black she-cat stood up and stretched luxuriously. The apprentice sat down and flicked an ear. It was hot, She reflected, squinting and gazing up at the bright and hot sun.

[Twix]

He smiled; not a flirty smile but just a normal, happy one. "Deal", he meowed in reply. The black tom had wrapped his tail around his paws and for a few moments the two apprentices sat in silence. He was staring off at nothing, attempting to do anything besides stare at the she-cat next to him, but slowly his vision returned to stare at Moonpaw anyways. She was.. too pretty. He felt awkward in the silence and the fact that he was staring at her, once again doing his best to drag his attention away from the black and white cat.
