Tinyclaw's New Path

Tinyclaw's Patrol

Here is a short story featuring Tinyclaw and Tigerclaw!

Tinyclaw walked along side his brown tabby friend, Tigerclaw, as they headed towards the ShadowClan border.

Tigerclaw had been talking about how he was training Ravenpaw and sharing mentorship of Firepaw. Tinyclaw was only half listening to him though, his mind was lost in a whirl of emotions, as he had just recently began to have feelings for Brindleface and another cat in the clan.

"I am sick of that kittypet, Firepaw," Tigerclaw said, "He acts like he is a senior warrior," he ended with a growl.

Tinyclaw gave a slight chuckle, "You were like that too, you know!"

Tigerclaw seemed surprised, "Me? No!" he said with a slight smile. Tinyclaw could feel how close Tigerclaw was to him as they were walking, he could feel the tabby deputy's every breath as his sides move inward and outward, Tinyclaw  looked down in embarrassment. Tigerclaw pushed even closer into Tinyclaw's side, "Looking away from me won't hide your feelings," he breathed into the black cat's ear.

Tinyclaw took a step away, glaring at Tigerclaw, "I have no clue what feelings you could be talking about," he said with a slight stutter.

Tigerclaw steped towards Tinyclaw again, wrapping his bushy tail around the small warrior's body, "I can tell you, if you'd like,"

Tinyclaw let a slight grin on his face, believing that Tigerclaw was only joking. He looked up and touched his nose to the large tabby's, "Go on," he said with a slight rumble in his voice.

Tigerclaw looked shocked, but he didn't for long. The deputy moved swiftly in front of Tinyclaw, stopping the smaller warrior in his tracks, "Love," he said moving inward, making Tinyclaw have to sit, "Affection," he grinned. Tigerclaw was slowly forcing Tinyclaw to be laying down on his back, "Attraction," he finished once Tinyclaw was layed out on his back and the two toms were chest to chest and face to face.

Tinyclaw squirmed a bit, looking for words to say, "I-I uh," he didn't quite know what to say. Tinyclaw stopped thinking for a moment and let out two words he would soon regret, "I do,"

Tigerclaw grinned with delight, his breath hot on Tinyclaw's face, "Good,"

Tinyclaw pushed Tigerclaw off of him, "But I am mates with Brindleface," he said with a grunt as he stood up.

Tigerclaw narrowed his eyes and sighed, "And my mate is Goldenflower," he said with a clear tinge of sadness, "I am sorry, Tinyclaw,"

Tinyclaw brushed up against his friend, "It still doesn't mean what I said wasn't true,"

Tigerclaw's face lightened up with happiness. The two toms continued on their patrol happily, chatting like the good friends they were.
