Morningpaw?
He/him | TC apprentice? | Moons: 4 | No purrks

Morningkit stared up at Bumblestar in utter shock before it melted away to pure joy! He was an apprentice now! Already! Oh wait that means his name is Morningpaw! This was so unreal it felt like a dream and Morningpaw would know what a dream was because of how much sleeping he does. The kit immediately turned around looking for Riversong, his new mentor! Only for his grin to fall from his face as he saw the feline padding away from the meeting…what? Morningpaw took a few paw steps after the leaving warrior. Why were they leaving? Shouldn’t they be greeting him? That was his mentor, right? The newly named apprentice went to call out to the warrior, breathing picking up just a bit as he became more and more confused the further Riversong got until the warrior was gone from view. As though to take their place, Dewkit bounced up to him, one of his litter mates who hadn’t gotten a new name. Morningpaw took a step back as Dewkit started talking.

The apprentice couldn’t even really hear Dewkit even as the feline talked circles around him until one phrase met his ears and tears spring to Morningpaw’s eyes. His eyes and nose were stinging but he refused to cry, his mentor already left because he was just a kit probably he shouldn’t be crying because that was the truth. Morningpaw wasn’t a paw, he was a lot masquerading as one and that’s why his mentor left without even glancing at Morningpaw. “Y-you’ll cat-ch up for sure.” His voice was tight and he could hardly get his words out. “My mentor..doesn’t even want me!” He didn’t care to hear Dewkit’s pity as they realized that Morningpaw’s mentor left. The tom turned to watch as other kits went to meet their mentors, smiling and happy, their parents and friends must be proud. What did Antfluff think? He failed at being an apprentice before even starting. He was such a joke. Morningpaw took a few shaky steps away from Dewkit and away from the stormcrest. He couldn’t handle seeing his ceremony crumble around him only to listen to others being happy and that was so wrong with him, he should be happy for his siblings but he wasn’t.

“I’m tired. I’m going to..nap.” Morningpaw- no, he wasn’t a paw. Morningkit turned tail and walked back to the nursery, not bothering to stay for the rest of the meeting. Maybe his dreams would be kinder to him.
