Blue's POV:

          "White'tail, where are you going?" I yawned sleepily. I could see white'tail padding out of the badger set strangely heading in the direction of thunderclan. I stretched briefly and sat back on my haunches looking him in the eyes. I yawned again with a little squeak following it. "Did you hear me? I asked where you're going this late?" I questioned him again. He finally turned around and smiled, "Just getting an early start on hunting." I tilted my head in confusion. "So close to the camp? There won't be much prey over there-" My sentence was interrupted by a large yawn, again followed by a squeak. I saw white'tail start walking away again meowing back at me, "Go back to sleep, i'll have fresh prey for you when you wake up okay?" I gave in and padded back into the set and collapsed with a sleepy sigh. I hope he isn't caught by any patrols...I know I shouldn't worry, he's strong. There's also a small chance some of his clan members still like him. Stop being so paranoid...! I soon fell asleep with one last squeaky yawn.

          I woke up to the sound of pawsteps approaching the old badger den. I opened my eyes to see white'tail standing over me, with a bright looking light behind him. He also seemed to be...see through? wait. Is he a spirit?  I then looked at my own paws. They had the same misty look! are we dead?! I jumped to my paws and batted at the mau's face hard. "White'tail! How did we die?!" I questioned. His eyes widened and he tilted his head at me looking confused and a little concerned. He moved away from my flailing paws. "Calm down blue! Neither of us have died, are you still dreaming?" He nosed me to the ground and sniffed me with concern. I batted his face one final time, making him flinch away. I could tell he was holding back an irritated hiss, as not to scare me or hurt my feelings.

          I realized as my paws didn't faze through him, that we most likely weren't in starclan. But...perhaps spirit-cats can feel each other? I bit my left fore-paw harshly, making it bleed just to be sure. I winced from the pain that blossomed through my arm. yup, not in starclan! phew!  I heard white'tail gasp in horror and nip at my ears making me flinch. "What the hell are you doing midiot?!" He hissed. He then headbutted the side of my head just hard enough so that I let go of my fore-paw. "Ow..." I mumbled, looking at the ground with embarrassment. "What is wrong with you?! Why are you hurting yourself?!" I heard him hiss harshly. The seriousness in his voice made me flinch and shrink back, I didn't dare make eye-contact. "I thought we were dead..." I mumbled again. 

          I risked a glance at him and saw that his eyes had softened from anger, to concern and lovingness. I didn't want to admit how stupid it was to think that he was an angel or something. I realized after calming down the source of light was the sun, and the 'see through' paws was just a trick of the morning mist. I felt my pelt burning with pure embarrassment. The wound on my left fore-paw started stinging and I let out a small, barely audible whimper. White'tail clearly heard it because he immediately started licking the blood from my paw gingerly. I could tell he was trying not to lick the bite directly. I was surprised at his gentleness after having just been worked up and angry. "Stop hurting yourself..." I heard him mumble between licks. I looked down at my paws and I felt my ears droop with shame. "I'm-" He quickly cut me off, looking me dead in the eyes with hostility, "Don't say sorry." He snarled

            "No, it's not because I'm getting tired of caring for you, 'Like a helpless kit' that's not it and you know it." He stared at me for what felt like a whole season before he resumed cleaning the wound. "It's because I care deeply about you blue. I don't like seeing you hurt, but I also don't blame you because stuff happens, that's life. You may be a little idiot sometimes but you're my little idiot ya hear?" He said this last sentence looking me in my eyes again. I blushed extremely hard and returned the stare. "O-okay." Was all I could manage to choke out. My throat felt so tight with emotion it was getting hard to breathe. I couldn't understand why Starclan would bless me with such a caring mate. What did I do to deserve this? 

         I purred as he pressed his head to mine. "I love you more than I love myself, don't forget that okay blue?" He purred in that gentle and smooth voice of his. Suddenly my paw didn't hurt anymore, nothing did. "o-okay, I w-won't I-I promise" I choked through tears of pure happiness. I've never been this happy in my life. I wish this moment could last forever. White'tail clearly understood this, as he didn't move a muscle. "I love you so much..." I mumbled, pressing my forehead harder into his, praying to starclan that I wasn't dreaming and this warmth I felt wasn't a stimulation of my mind. 

          We stayed like this for a while, I could see behind white'tail's body that the sun was gone which meant evening was near. It had been at least 15 minutes at this point but I wasn't gonna complain. After a few more heartbeats white'tail licked the top of my head before padding outside to the squirrels that had been there since the sun had risen. He dropped one at my paws. "Go ahead and eat something, yeah?" He smiled, laying back down against my flank. For a second, I was afraid I'd fall over from his weight. He suddenly shifted and cuffed me over the head with a single paw swipe, making me lay against his side instead. 

           My pelt was on fire at this point, I was blushing harder than I thought possible. "If you won't eat then sleep with me, I'm lonely." He meowed in a pouty voice. I laughed and wiggled around, burrowing deeper into his pelt. "I don't think I'd trade this spot for anything. Even food." I heard him snicker, "That's a first for you midiot." I huffed and playfully batted his face. "Stop calling me that!" "Never." He purred before nuzzling my neck. "I love you midiot." I chuckled, "Yeah yeah...love you too." With that, we both fell asleep not long after in each other's gentle, and warm embrace. Forgetting all about the food. Of course, I woke up in the middle of the night to eat one of the squirrels, but we don't talk about that.

H e y. so, I'm one day late but it's okay! :'> I had the story written out yesterday but I fell alseep before having a chance to revise it...I really don't wanna change the limit to 7 days because of my bad habits but we'll see how it goes. as always credit for any and all art goes to EwIts_Dekew because lord knows I can't draw to save my life.
