The time had come. Mushy had finally worked up the courage to talk to Twilight again after Stag spilled the beans. It had been somewhere around a moon of avoidance and awkwardness and Rushingmoor could no longer take the suspense. It was better at this point to simply let Twi reject him and let his feelings for her die. They were already good friends and Mushy was content to continue being her friend and someone whom she could rely upon amongst all of the stress of her life. As long as he got to be there for her, he didn’t need anything else. Besides, Mushy knew she loved him as a friend in her own way- even if she didn’t show it. Platonic love was just as important! His romantic feelings for her would fade with time but as long as she was ok with them still being friends, his platonic love for her would only grow!

“Twigs? You in here?”

Enough overthinking- time to act. In an effort to make this less awkward, Rushingmoor tried to avoid making this meeting seem much different from any other time he’d trundled into her den to annoy her. He paused and stumbled at the entrance uncertainly, but straightened himself and walked right in as he always did. They were still friends. He would only make this more awkward by acting like they were strangers!
