Moonpaw relaxed slightly as he began to move back up to the hill, and she followed him. She tucked her paws under her body and settled down beside him, a bit closer than she had originally expected to be when she followed him back there, but none the less, it still felt slightly awkward to be so close to this tom, even though she had known him since she was three moons old and they had met outside of the nursery. After a moment, she looked up at him, still a bit worried about him.
Perhaps she was being silly though, maybe it was her that was acting weird and she just saw him as doing it too because they had been together since... Pretty much as far back as she could remember.
She studied him silently, He was taller than she was, which was currently being exaggerated as he was sitting and she was laying. She looked at his eyes for a moment, before returning her gaze out to the grass and the wind. The thoughts from when she had first come here earlier tht day returned and she verbalized them quietly to Couragepaw.
"We'll be protecting this place one day, the two of us. We'll be in the next generation of warriors." She mewed. She had had this thought continue to return to her every time she saw the beauty and vastness of the territory that was now before them. Just because she felt like it, and felt like it would emphasize what she was saying, Moonpaw nudged him gently in the shoulder with her nose. |
Couragepaw's eyes were gazing out worriedly over the waving grasses of the territory and he said nothing, his throat feeling suddenly dry and as though he couldn't swallow. He could barely breathe, the air was stale and uncomfortable and his pelt felt warmer than he could imagine. Couragepaw looked up at Moonpaw, studying the cat that had been his friend for so long. Although this time, something seemed different about her. He had certainly never thought of her as beautiful before...certainly, she was a pretty she cat, and one that was excellent company for; well, anything, but this time she looked simply stunning. There were no other words for it; Couragepaw could barely bring himself to look at her, unable to understand and realize these new, strange feelings. As Moonpaw spoke, he looked at her...the territory itself was beautiful enough certainly, especially with the light hitting it and the grasses glistening with dew...but somehow, having Moonpaw there seemed to round it all together. Couragepaw smiled almost nervously, although it was quite less scared and more anxious than before. It seemed as though he were almost anticipating something, which he could have been. The young tom sighed, lowering his head onto his front paws with an air of silent anticipation. He fixed his gaze on Moonpaw, in a sideways glance.
Couragepaw sighed, listening to Moonpaw's words. Her voice was soft and gentle, like the breeze that blew the grasses. "Yes...you're right. We'll be protecting it...together. Just two friends, nothing more- ri-right?" he stammered, suddenly unsure of what to say. He felt Moonpaw's nose nudge him in the shoulder suddenly and froze, his gaze gazing in a glass-like manner out onto the fields. "S-so, how have things been going for you..." Couragepaw asked, with a slightly frustrated tone.
