Mothpool oneshot for Moonstone the Moonwing

You walk into ThunderClan camp, and you are expected by someone....

Leafpool bounds up to you. "Dovesong! Finally! Oops, sorry. I'm just a little bit energetic since I'm running around the camp like a squirrel with its head bitten off because of the badger attack and IT'S JUST BEEN REALLY HARD! What did you want to see me about? I don't really have that much time, so make it quick!" 

You sort of back away, startled, but Leafpool takes your arm and drags you into her den. "Again, sorry for all the energy. I've really been trying to pick up the pace since Crowfeather left me," she said on a sadder note. Horribly, you realize it's how Leafpool always sounds. You miss when she sounds happier, so you say something that will cheer her up. 

"Well, um, don't you love Mothwing a lot more? And on that note, how did your love story unfold?" You ask her. She stays silent for a moment, seeming to almost burst with excited energy. 

"OKAY, IT STARTS LIKE THIS:

I was thinking about Mothwing, since RiverClan was drinking that nasty stuff. It got me really worried, and I couldn't help myself. So I ran into RiverClan's territory and took Mothwing from her den. "Mothwing, can I talk to you?" I asked her. 

AH! SHE WAS SO PRETTY! It was crazy. The fireflies were lighting her stunning yellow pelt, and it made my heart do flips in my body! It was a leaf-fall night, but I was very warm all of a sudden. "What is it, Leafpool?" She had asked me softly. 

She made me feel like the best thing in the world to her, just as she is to me. I just think it's stupid how I blurted my feelings and it turned out okay. In that one night, the words tumbled out of me. "You look so pretty, and you're so strong! Honestly, any cat would want you, tom or she, and honestly, I'm somewhat interested myself!" It was crazy. 

Normally I'm the kind of cat that lets the other confess. That's only happened like twice, but when Squirrelflight was in her Ashfur-Brambleclaw problem she asked me about it, and asked me what I would do if someone confessed to me like Ashfur did to her. All of those instances, I let him confess first! Squirrelflight is nothing like that," Leafpool rambled, seeming to turn to her regular voice. You're a little concerned as to what kind of monster you activated. You suppose that if you get Leafpool talking about Mothwing, you really get her talking about Mothwing. 

"I'm getting off track! Back to the point. Thanks for listening to me ramble, Dovesong. I don't cave cats like that in ThunderClan. You're a true gem! Anyway, Mothwing was speechless, but then finally said "That's exactly how I feel about you." We then curled up next to each other in peaceful bliss, and although Mothwing didn't believe in StarClan, she let me understand her little saying or whatever and told me, "This feels like StarClan." She was so great and sweet to me! 

But I'm not proud of this one. The next half-moon meeting that we had was spent by me and Mothwing fooling around. I didn't even talk to StarClan! I was too distracted by Mothwing's loving gaze planted directly onto me. When we were running through the forest side by side, I knew that we had to be together. For the sake of ourselves! Sure, it might've been selfish, but then again, was what StarClan had to say that important? 

Things went on like this for a while, me and Mothwing, seemingly best friends. I guess no one suspected us because they thought that we wouldn't be together because we were two she-cats. Well, that was not the case. It wasn't that they wouldn't support them, it's just that they didn't suspect it. Well, anyway, soon I met Crowfeather.

You could argue that the way I talk to you, Dovesong, that I liked Crowpaw and Crowfeather, but that's not true. I didn't want to tell you about my crush on Mothwing because we weren't as close back then. ANYWAY, really got off track there, but I met Crowfeather. 

I could tell that he was into me. The way he talked to me. The way I felt heat radiate off of him when he was near me. Obviously, he was in love. And I really, really didn't want to hurt him. He seemed nice, and maybe if I tried to love him, I would. Naturally I told Mothwing, and she told me that it was fine. That if I wanted to try Crowfeather, then I could. She was so chill about it, and I mostly told her that I did it because I thought that if his heart was broken a second time, then it would destroy him, and she told me that was a great reason, too. 

So I did, and it caused this whole badger attack. But while seeing Crowfeather, I was seeing Mothwing a lot more. I had to act like I loved him, while my love for Mothwing came naturally. I just really liked her. She was just a really, really nice cat. But Crowfeather was foreboding and honestly pretty rude. Like, the way he confessed was making sure I didn't fall off of a cliff and then told me I was hot. But Mothwing actually told me her feelings, more or less. And if she didn't on that fall night, then she did for the rest of our lives. Constantly reminding me how sweet and nice and cool I was, but at the same time she wasn't smothering me. She was slow about it, and didn't rush into the relationship. If anything, I did that. Sorry, Mothwing!" Leafpool laughed. 

"But one more thing happened in our relationship that was huge. Hawkfrost. Mothwing vented to me about her brother, and I told Squirrelflight about it, and Brambleclaw wouldn't listen. She and I were both taking a back seat on all the action surrounding them. And... the strange thing is... I knew that they were training with Tigerstar. Of course, Mothwing didn't believe it, but after that night I woke up covered in sweat, jumping at every shadow, thinking it will be Brambleclaw, ready to kill me. I knew exactly where I needed to go, and that was Mothwing. She comforted me,  and she made sure everything was alright. Every night after that one, I'd wake up with night terrors unless I slept next to Mothwing. 

Also, when Cinderpelt found me with Crowfeather, I wanted to know how she'd feel about me and Mothwing! Not too happily. She'd probably tell me "Leafpool, I was in love with Firestar but at least I was actually doing my work right and I wasn't putting a whole Clan in danger!!!!" And all that crap. I was really happy with Mothwing, and I just had to submit with everything Crowfeather did. And I knew I would go home when we left together. I couldn't leave Mothwing, or Squirrelflight, and I could leave Hawkfrost and Brambleclaw unaddressed. I needed to go back. So I did. And boy, it's great to be home! And if you're wondering if I went to Mothwing last night, yup. I do every night. Thanks for listening to me rant! Take this bluebell home! It tastes quite sweet!" She nudged you, and you laugh nervously. 

"Thanks, Leafpool," you say shyly. "Take to you soon!" Leafpool waved at you as you left, bluebell in jaws. 

There it is! I really bent cannon in this one, didn't I? Well, it's always fun to do that. I really hope I didn't get anything wrong, like the badger attack and crap. And Moonstone, if I got it wrong and you just got a whole bunch of spoiler about Crowfeather and Leafpool, I'm really, really sorry! Hopefully this one was good. I like Mothpool, but this is definitely not how I think it would unfold in cannon. Crowfeather and Leafpool never would have happened. Maybe I'll do an AU of them or something, I dunno. But if you're interested in something like that, wanna hear a secret? I'm working on one right now. BYEEEEE :3
