The forest was filled with the sounds on birds and the occasional rustling of bushes. The lake water, crisp and clear, was sparkling in the warm sun. Sitting by the water was a tabby she-cat with her signature dark gray heart on her chest. Next to her was a golden tabby tom with shining amber eyes. The gray tabby's blue eyes stared into his golden ones.
"Beautiful day isn't it?" The gray cat mewed, tail flicking back and forth. The golden tom licked his mate's ear lovingly.
"Ah, yes Cinderheart, indeed it is. But of course, not as beautiful as you." The tom commented truthfully. Cinderheart rolled her eyes at his attempt at romance; but she appreciated the compliment nonetheless.
"Thank you, Lionblaze." Cinderheart murmured. As for why the two were sitting there at this moment, well, something about the golden warrior that had intrigued her, and for Lionblaze, the answer was quite simple: he thought she was beautiful and strong.
"We've been here awhile, do you think we should head back?" Cinderheart inquired, cocking her head to the side in a questioning manner. Lionblaze nodded, heaving himself to his paws. Cinderheart did the same. Her tail skimmed the water as she stood up. Lionblaze and Cinderheart padded back to camp, pelts brushing and tails intwined.
A/N: I'm not sure about there being a lake in ThunderClan territory, I'm only assuming because Cinderheart/Cinderpaw had trained her leg by swimming.
