Warrior Cats: Fluffs LGBTQ+ (#FreeTheLGBT)

Gray Tinted Fire (Graystripe X Firestar)

     Firestar stepped out of his sun bathed den and stretched his muscles, letting out a huge yawn in the process. As he scanned through the crowd of his cats he spotted the most important one to him, his best friend and secret keeper, Graystripe. The orange tom watched the gray tom stroll lazily to the fresh-kill pile and pick up a thrush and Graystripe headed toward the area where the senior warriors eat and groom each other. "Hey, Graystripe!" The leader shouted, this led to a very startled Graystripe looking around to see where the voice came from, then he saw Firestar sitting in front of the Leader's Den, the sunlight hitting his fur perfectly making him practically glow with flame, when that happened if was pretty hard to miss him in a crowd. Graystripe purred, picked up his thrush and carried it over to his best friend.
"G-Graystripe? Would you like to eat with me?" The leader stammered.
"Sure! Just like old times, eh?"
"Yeah, heh, just like old times."
Graystripe hauled himself up to the Leader's Den and sat down beside Firestar.
"Here! You can share this bird with me so you don't have to get up from your spot." Graystripe offered.
Such a loyal friend! Firestar thought to himself as he warmed up with pride.
"Thank you, Graystripe." Firestar mewed.
"Firestar... there is something I wanted to talk to you about, I feel something strange, but I'm not sick."
"What is it?" Firestar asked, worried for his friend.
"I know this isn't normal, but I love you. I know we're both toms... but I still love you. Am I flea-brained?"
Firestar was shocked at his best friend's confession. A tom loving another tom outside of brotherhood or friendship? How strange!
He's right... it is definitely not normal... but there's nothing in the Warrior Code against it. Maybe it could work?
Firestar thought to himself again.
"Graystripe." The orange cat began. The gray one was trembling in his fur, nervous that his best friend would banish him from the Clan, or worse... disown him. "I think I love you back, but let's be rational, okay? There isn't anything against mates of the same gender as far as I know. We can make this work, but if we get in deep trouble for it, we have to go back to being best friends. Alright?" Firestar meowed before nuzzling into Graystripe's neck, inhaling his comforting scent.
