(*giggles* sorry Tilly, couldn't help it with the title. xD Oh and this is a private thread for Midnightstar and Twilightsong. Much awkwardness to be made here and all. *falls over giggling*)
Great StarClan, what on EARTH was he doing back here?! Twilightsong sighed and stared up at the nightsky with a look akin to frustration. Was this some sort of cosmic joke? First, StarClan appeared to him and told him to go back because "she" was "waiting" for him. He gets back and what happens? She names him Deputy 3 days after him being there. DEPUTY. Like, of ShoreClan. Twilightsong pawed his face over remembering that day.
And what else? Oh gee, well, Pebblestone was sniffing around and Twilightsong was getting a bad feeling the tom knew something was up with his feelings towards Midnightstar, Ripplestream definately knew SOMETHING was going on, she HAD to with her weird Medicine cat creepy "I can read your thoughts" thing she did, and Midnightstar? She was suddenly busy and practically non-existant around camp, or at least when he was in it it seemed. It was like she was avoiding him or something. "Yeah, she was really "waiting" for me. Good call guys." He called sarcastically to the glittering silverpelt above him.
Scuffling the grass at his paws, he took a moment to breathe in a breath of the warm night air. As Deputy, he'd taken advantage of the fact he could claim "I'm gonna go grab a snack" to the night watch and not face questions. It had made slipping out of camp very easy and he felt like he could take the "mask" off and be himself for awhile. He'd wandered for a bit before finally coming to the meadow and sitting down to gaze at the stars above him and do some thinking.
His mind wandered back to when Midnightstar called him into her den saying she had something important to ask him. He'd come in willingly and had listened as she explained they'd received word from StarClan that a flood was coming and they needed to move to higher ground soon to escape. She'd then dropped the bomb and said Pebblestone was only a temporary Deputy and had asked that the rank be passed to Twilightsong as he didn't want it. Oh good grief, did StarClan like him or hate him?
Part of Twilightsong had immediately drifted off into a land of puffy pink clouds thinking what a glorious honor, to be near her always, her right hand cat... the one she always would turn to for advice... It would be heavenly... And then the other half of him jumped up, backslapped him and pointed out it wouldn't be heavenly, it'd be freaking NIGHTMARE! Think about it, forever near her, but never able to reveal what he really felt about her. All of a sudden the nomination had sounded more like a mix between a bad joke being played on him by his deceased Uncle in StarClan and a gift from that hot southern place. Somehow, he'd apparently said yes as that night he found himself in the middle of a Clan meeting with Midnightstar announcing to the rest of the Clan he was the new Deputy. Eeek.
Shaking his head, he sighed and looked at the grass under his paws before getting up and jumping up on a small level rock near him. Sitting down again, his paws kneaded the stone slightly as his mind ran over why he was here. His feelings for Midnightstar were as strong as ever. Watching her day in and day out and never able to tell her how he really felt... It was like slowly suffocating in a room full of oxygen. Oxygen you couldn't get close to, no matter how much you wanted too...
That was why he'd left camp tonight. To spend a few hours away from it all and clear his mind. Part of him felt like he was slowly withering on the inside, watching her beautiful frame move about the camp. He ached to tell her how he felt, but feared her reaction. What if... what if she didn't return his feelings? Besides, she was his leader... Sighing again he looked up at Silverpelt in agony. "Why?" He meowed softly, his heart hurting. "Why am I here? Show me... Because I can't go on like this much longer..." He pleaded, his voice going soft as he looked back down at the ground and sighed again.

The ebony leader took a deep breath of the refreshing air, hoping it would help to clear her head to no avail. The moon light cascaded down onto the area, bathing her black pelt and lighting up her silver eyes. Despite that her expression was calm, Midnightstar was in turmoil and only ones who knew how to read her eyes could see it. Just a few days ago, Twilightsong had said yes to becoming Shoreclan's permanent deputy, but he had been nowhere to be seen, and while she had also been been busy, it seemed that he had been avoiding her.
She had been trying to meet up with him, but every chance she got, he snuck away. She paused shortly as the familiar smell of Twilightsong filled her nose. Luckily, she was upwind so he couldn't scent her and bolt away. She crouched low in the grass and followed his scent. Quickly she found him. After a moment or two of watching him quietly, she broke through the foliage, sending a charming, hopeful smile his way as she sauntered in his direction. "Twilightsong!" Her soft voice held actual joy at seeing him as she quickly joined his side.
"How are you doing? I'm sorry if I startled you by offering you the deputy position. When I met you at the border, I could see that you had grown up and several cats had told me you seemed like the perfect replacement for Seamist and I had to agree." She sent a surprisingly shy smile up at him, looking up at him through her lashes. |

(hehehe)
The Silverpelt overhead glittered in almost unearthly beauty above him, but no answer came to him. Just a soft breeze brushing past him and gently rustling the grass around him. It just... wasn't the same without her by his side. Things just felt - empty. He sighed again and for the millionth time prepared to mentally give himself the usual lecture about how he should respect Midnightstar, not fantasize about her.
"Twilightsong!"
Blinking at hearing his name, he thought his mind was playing tricks on him and then suddenly there she was... right next to him?! Ack! Twilightsong was so startled by her appearance he tripped over himself and fell off the rock. Thankfully it wasn't a long fall, just a few inches, but embarassing nonetheless. Gawking up at her, he laid there in a tangled heap of legs and fur trying to see if it was really her or if his mind was just being super evil to him.
"How are you doing? I'm sorry if I startled you by offering you the deputy position. When I met you at the border, I could see that you had grown up and several cats had told me you seemed like the perfect replacement for Seamist and I had to agree."
Still staring at her, somewhere in his mind something noticed the smile she was giving him. Was she... flirting with him?!?!?! His mouth totally dry, all he could do was stare at her like she had three heads or something and lay there. "Uhh..." He said stupidly, suddenly realizing he wasn't on the rock next to her anymore. Hey, how'd I get down here?! He asked himself as he went to stand up.
"Uh, yeah, yes, I mean no. Um I mean, you yes. No, you, see, here, me. I mean..." Twilightsong's tongue was in total knots as he tried frantically to come up with a reply. She'd asked him something, right? Unfortunately his body wasn't doing any better and he tripped over himself again and landed face first in the grass. Oh. wow. Score two for the "lets look like an idiot" patrol today! Beautiful Twi. What do you wanna do next, trip her? His mind snipped dryly.
He finally got to his feet and his mind worked out a semi intelligent reply. Unfortunately that reply bailed out the window the moment he saw the look she was giving him from beneath her lashes. "Uh..." Oh great. Back to being a mindless zombie! That's REALLY going to help Twi.
"Heh. Um yeah yeah, you look great." He said, looking at the ground and then realizing what he said and looking back up almost horrified with himself. "I mean being yours would be great. Wait, I mean, great, your, being your deputy would, is great." He finally spit out, knowing he was past maroon and feeling incredibly STUPID. He stepped back up on the rock next to her and tried to strike a casual pose, but nearly fell off it again.
Catching his balance he coughed like he'd meant to do that and looked around trying to play it cool. "Uh, sooo.... What brings you out here?" he asked, trying to make small talk to get the light off how stupid he'd undoubtedly looked. "Uh not that you can't be out here, its just wow, funny seeing you here. Not that you look funny, here. Or anytime, I just meant, um, er so yeah, uh what... are you doing... here?" He finally choked out. What if she figured out how I feel about her?!?!? He swallowed and felt like crawling into a deep dark fox hole and never coming out again.

The black leader stared at her fallen deputy in mute shock, mouth having fallen open slightly at some point. Her normally bright mind was for once completely blank and she had no idea if she should laugh or remain calm and ask if he was alright. However, she didn't particularly have a choice in the matter as her body involuntarily took the first choice. Loud laughter escaped Midnightstar, as she doubled over laughing at his expense.
After a couple minutes of raucous laughter, Midnightstar was slowly reduced to giggling then quiet chuckles and even once she had managed to get herself under control, a wide grin, not a smile but a grin remained present on her mouth. "I'm -chuckle- sorry, but it was so funny -chuckle- and I know I shouldn't be laughing but you can't blame me -chuckle-. It was funny." She explained to him, her quiet voice speaking of underlying humor.
Her loud giggles were brought back with a vengeance as Twilightsong began to stammer and nearly fell off the rock trying to strike a casual pose. Taking a deep breath, Midnightstar regained her composure, though bright silver eyes continued to twinkled impishly at him. "Thank you Twilightsong. I'm glad I have your permission." She responded dryly, grinning at his quickly hurried statement. "And to answer your question, I don't have a particular reason for walking around other than the fact that I wanted some alone time. And of course I wanted to see you." Her voice dropped lower and became huskier at her last sentence, though the normally observant leader didn't notice.
"Now. What are you doing here?" She purred out softly, her tail twitching in mischief. "Its just you and me, all alone, far away from the camp...no one can hear us..." She trailed suggestively before grinning and bowing in a playful position.
"Wanna play tag?" |

(*dies laughing* having this much fun shouldn't be legal. hehe)
Talk about wanting to crawl in a hole and never come out, he nearly wanted to die when Midnightstar burst out laughing at him. Feeling so humiliated, all he could do was sit there and stare at his paws or the grass and be grateful his fur covered his flaming face. She finally quit laughing at him, much to his relief, but he was still so embarassed he didn't think his male ego would recover for a month.
"I'm -chuckle- sorry, but it was so funny -chuckle- and I know I shouldn't be laughing but you can't blame me -chuckle-. It was funny."
Hearing her laugh again at his stammering, he felt his paws go sweaty and glanced over at her. The moonlight bounced off her fur in a mesmerizing way and it was a good thing she was busy laughing as he couldn't stop staring at her for a bit. She truly was beautiful and wished, as his heart ached, that there was a way to let her know how he felt and have her for a mate. She finally stopped laughing and he quickly dropped his eyes, blushing even redder if that was possible.
"Thank you Twilightsong. I'm glad I have your permission. And to answer your question, I don't have a particular reason for walking around other than the fact that I wanted some alone time. And of course I wanted to see you. Now. What are you doing here?"
Me? She wanted to see me? He asked himself as he looked over at her. His ears picked up the way she'd said it and his heart skipped a beat. The fact she'd asked him a question didn't really register as his mind was trying to process the way she'd said that. Did she... mean it... like that? Wondering, he watched her and for a moment dared to wildly dream she was in love with him. No way! She started talking again and almost feverishly, he clamped his thoughts off and listened. He was probably hearing things anyways!
"Its just you and me, all alone, far away from the camp...no one can hear us..."
He stared at her as his heart skipped a beat and seemed to forget to start. Did.. she... Suddenly his mouth was bone dry and it was like his lungs shriveled up. She... alone... with him here... Gaping at her, he gulped and wiped his paws on the rock. Ooooh this was kinda sudden... and fast... Could he really do this? Nows the chance to be a tom! Seize the moment! Tell her how you feel! Tell her--
"Wanna play tag?"
WHAT? He said as it felt like someone had suddenly slammed on the brakes on everything around him, yet he was still moving and had crashed into a brick wall. "T-tag?" He sputtered before starting to laugh self-consciously at himself. "O-ooh, yeah t-tag! Ah, ha ha haha!" He laughed nervously as he stood and took a step sideways to play bow to her - and promptly tripped off the rock again.
This time he at least halfway caught himself, and staggered sideways before getting his balance. "Ooh sure. yeah let's play tag." He stuttered, trying to get a grip on himself. Oh hahah, wow, good one Twi. Wow, he was really stupid. Mentally wishing StarClan would just kill him now and get it over with, he plastered a grin on his face and did a playbow to Midnightstar. Wow, this must be punishment for all the times I picked on the Medicine Cat as a kit. Like, ouch! Can we all agree I learned my lesson already?! He mentally pleaded with StarClan as he leaped at Midnightstar to try to catch her. "You better run or I'ma get you!" He called to her as he raced across the grass after her.

Deciding to spare her poor deputy more humiliation, Midnightstar pretended not to notice his tripping or stammering. Though her whiskers did twitch, as if she was suppressing her grin or two. But then again, it could have just been a trick of the light...
She barely dodged as Twilightsong sprung at her, before she she turned tail and dodged his attempt to tackle her. She stopped briefly to stick her tongue out childishly at him before darting off once more. "Catch me and I'll give you a kiss." She called out to him, only half-kidding. She laughed as she wove in between trees, appearing on the other end of meadows.
She took a breather, ears twitching for a sound made by Twilightsong. She heard a twig snap, and not knowing if it was Twilightsong or not, she bolted off again, crawling under a bush for a moment, listening once more. If only everyone could see me now... She thought wryly to herself, chest heaving slightly. The great Shoreclan leader clowning off with her deputy like a pair of kits. But she wasn't that old, and it was fun. Twilightsong was hilarious when he stammered. It was slightly endearing as well.
Having caught her breath, Midnightstar crept out quietly from her den once more into the clearing, silver eyes looking for any sign of her deputy. "Come out, come out where ever you are..." she murmured to herself, whisking her tail in anticipation. |

His paws were outstretched to grab her, but she neatly whirled out of the way just in time to avoid being tagged. The moonlight shone brilliantly off her fur and he couldn't tell if he was breathless from looking at her or from chasing her. She definately answered his question when she stopped to stick out her tongue at him.
"Catch me and I'll give you a kiss."
His ears nearly stood on top of his head at her words as she watched her dart away. Catch her and he could... kiss her? Suddenly he had a heck of a lot of motivation and sprang after her at rocket speed. Ooooh, he'd LOVE to kiss her... He'd love to do a lot of things to her, but first he had to catch her.
Grinning, he watched as she darted into the woods and wove between the trees, trying to shake him off. Coming to a stop, he watched and figured out roughly where she was going and took off to head her off. If his calculations paid off, he'd thoroughly enjoy ambushing her. If not, well, he could just chase her around some more and watch the moonlight bounce off her fur...
In his hurry to get in place he wasn't watching what he was doing and broke a twig, which made her dart from her hiding place. Mentally muttering to himself about being louder than a kittypet, he hunkered down and carefully moved into place as she took cover under a bush nearby. Watching her, he froze while she looked around and caught her breath.
For several long moments the woods were eerily quiet as he waited for her to make a move, which she finally did. As she scanned the clearing looking for him, he crept closer until he was three foxtail lengths away.
"Come out, come out where ever you are..."
Grinning as she spoke and admiringly briefly how pretty she looked, he suddenly sprang from hiding with his paws outstretched to pounce her. "OKAY!" He called with glee as he soared through the air straight at her...
