Chapter 13

: So um maybe we shouldn't tell the clan. . .I think some of them know though :

Brambleclaw was sorting patrols. The memories from last night were fresh in his mind. Both of them had agreed to keep their relationship a secret for the time being. Who knew how the clan would react.
Speaking of. . . Brambleclaw spotted Ashfur glaring at Hollyleaf.
He could tell this was about to escalate.
“Do you really have to be so petty?” Ashfur hissed.
“You tried to kill me!” Hollyleaf retorted.
“And you half blinded me!” Ashfur snarled.
“At least I'm not as pathetic as you! At least I didn't threaten to kill cats because of my wounded ego!” Hollyleaf was beyond furious at this point.
“Oh shut your mouth! Don't call me pathetic when you ruined your own reputation!” Ashfur shot back.
Brambleclaw stepped between the two. “Knock it off both of you!”
Ashfur hissed. “She started it.”
“I don't want to hear it. You're bickering like kits.” Brambleclaw responded sternly.
Ashfur flattened his ears to his head, but made no comment.
“We’ll talk about this later.” Brambleclaw whispered.
Ashfur gave the slightest of nods, seeming quite reluctant to argue with his new mate.
Brambleclaw turned to Hollyleaf. “Why are you wasting your time fighting with him?” he meant that in both of the ways it could be interpreted.
Hollyleaf flicked her tail angrily. “I can't believe he was barely punished for what he did!”
Brambleclaw sighed. “He’s permanently injured. You've seen the scratches he has from always tripping. Not that I'm saying he has it worse.” he added quickly.
Hollyleaf sighed. “I know.” she assured him.
He definitely doesn't have it worse. I love him, but I can still acknowledge his flaws. That's just part of being in a loving relationship. Unlike me and Squirrelflight. . . I was a horrible mate. . . He might be exaggerating how bed he was from guilt. But that did not mean he was good. Not at all.

Eventually Brambleclaw finished sorting patrols. He went on a border patrol with Ashfur and Thornclaw.
“Where did you two go last night?” Thornclaw asked suddenly and nonchalantly.
Ashfur seemed to fluttered to speak so Brambleclaw answered. “Just figured we'd give the borders one last check.”
Thornclaw nodded. “Makes sense.”
Ashfur nodded quickly.
Thornclaw paused for a moment. “You two are around each other a lot. It's nice to see friendships.”
Ashfur once again just smiled and nodded, looking embarrassed as ever.
“Are patrols your friends?” Brambleclaw joked.
Thornclaw laughed. “Is it really so noticeable I go on a lot of patrols?”
“Yes! I'm the deputy, of course I noticed.” Brambleclaw rolled his eyes.
“Well I do other things!” Thornclaw protested.
“Yes. Like stare at Spiderleg.” Ashfur joined the conversation.
“Hey! You hypocrite!” Thornclaw batted at Ashfur with his tail.
Well, well, well, do my eyes decive me or is Ashfur having a normal interaction with someone? Brambleclaw smiled.
“Well that's the only other thing you do!” Ashfur responded.
Thornclaw rolled his eyes. “Ah yes my two personality traits, patrolling and being queer. Gorgeous.” he meowed sarcastically.
“Pretty basic personality not going to lie.” Ashfur drew a paw over his face.
Thornclaw huffed.

An:
The perfect way to start the morning. Yummy arguments.
Also Thornclaw is here again. And this time he's actually doing something.
The title had no business being that long💀
