Fireheart X Cinderpaw

Cinderpaw slept soundly in the apprentice den. Her nose pressed under her tail, rolled into a tight ball of grey fur.

Fireheart woke up as the sun started rising. His ginger tan fur gleamed handsomely in the sun. He creeped into the aprentice den, and pushed Cinderpaw with his nose.
"Wake up Cinderpaw. We have got training to do." He whispered into her ear so he wouldnt wake the other aprentices.

Cinderpaw slowly opened her eyes, only to meet with Firhearts green ones. She got up in a lazy strech.
"Im ready." She said as she stepped out into the sunlight.

They walked to the Freshkill pile.
"What are we going to do today Fireheart? Are you going to show me to climb trees at fourtrees. Or can we hunt for abandoned fox dens.?"

" No.Cinderpaw." He said firmly. " I was thinking of practicing battle moves."

"Yes! Youll be so proud of me."
" Of course. Ill always be." He said reasuringly.

Something gleamed in her blue eyes.

After that afternoon. By sunrise they were both very tired.

As they reached the clearing some cats basked in the poor sunlight sharing tounges as curious kits played.

"Um. Fireheart wanna share tounges too?" She asked a little embaressed. She didnt want to sound clingy.

"Sure. Why not." He replied with a flick of his tail.
The two cats shared tounges for a while.

"Hey Fireheart! Wanna go on hunting patrol with me and Sandstorm?" They turned as Greystripe called.

"Sure. Wanna come Cinderpaw.?"
"No thanks. Im tired." She lied. She just wasnt to confortable with Sandstorm and Greystripe. They would take all of Firehearts attention.

Cinderpaw watched as they went out the gorse tunnel. Then she got up and went to the medicine cat den.

"Um Yellowfang? Have some time?
"Sure Cinderpaw. Is everything okay?"
" I feel whirly...."
"Whirly? Well thats a first.What kind of whirly? She asked.

" I dont know. Things are spinning in my insides and I also feel a little bit confused. Am I sick!" Cinderpaw replied worried.

Yellowfang let out a chuckle.
"No kid. Your just Inlove." She replied.

"In love! That cant be!" She shouted.

"Believe it or not. That is what you have."

"Can i have some herbs to get rid off it?" She asked.

"Dont be mouse-brained ! Theres no herbs for love!" She snorted. "But i do know who you might be in love with.." Yellowfang added.

Cinderpaw guessed who she meant. Her ears grew hot in embarresment.

Then a ginger head popped through the entrance of the medicine cat den.
It was Fireheart.

"Cinderpaw! Are you okay? Yellowfang is she sick?" He said worried.

" No shes just in..
"Im okay! Im okay Fireheart!" Cinderpaw interrupted, sprinting out of the den. She didnt turned back and headed for the freshkill pile.

She crouched down, picking a shrew and setting to eat it. Then she felt a pelt brush against hers.

"Care to Share?" It was Fireheart.
" No!" She replied.
" Are you sure your okay? You have been acting weird since we came back." He said demandinly.
" Im okay. Its just that.."
"Whats wrong?"
" I found out im in love." She admitted.
" Oooh. What lucky tom?" Fireheart teased.

Cinderpaw looked at him. She choked out the words.
" Im in love with.You Fireheart."

Fireheart eyes narrowed in suprise. His expression was confusing. In shock and embarresed.

Cinderpaw, got up and directed gerself to the gorse tunnel running. Knowing nothing was ever going to be the same. Their training, being clanmates. Their friendship.
'Starclan what have I let him do to me.' She said under her breath.
