No Love (Hawkfrost and Ivypool AU)

Chap. 1

The sky was dark and hidden by an endless tangle of leafless branches and tendrils. The air felt hot and sticky but still dry when he breathed. Mud beneath his paws was warm bubbling mush, the color of spoiled meat. No underbrush was in sight. It was dark and eerily quite.
He sat there in waiting. Waiting for when the time would come. He looked up at the sky (not that it would give him much of a hint). His surroundings grew dark around him. His blue eyes flashed.
Now.
   He stood up, his mackerel striped tail lashing. He began to trot through the fog. After a few moments, the fog in front of him began to clear, and his surroundings began to lighten. He began to sprint until he broke out of the darkness and into a calm warm meadow, engulfed in flowers. The sun warmed his pelt with welcoming beams. The tom halted, took a deep breath, and shook out his coat. He strolled through the tall grass and lilies up a high hill, taking in the cool feel of the grass beneath his paws. He sighed as he sat atop the hill, breeze blowing through his fur, waiting.

  Suddenly he heard paw steps. He didn't look behind him, he knew who it was anyway. After a few moments a small figure appeared at the edge of his vision. Finally he turned his head, to meet his eyes with who he was sent to see.
Silver and white pelt, deep blue eyes. Just as described. He grunted. His mind went back to that morning. He had been with his "father".
"Hawkfrost." Tigerstar called. Hawkfrost growled internally. He slowly walked up to his father, and looked him in the eye. Tigerstar glared back coldly. He hated looking at his face.
"I need you to leave the Dark forest  tonight, to the meadow." He had said "There's an apprentice I want you to fetch. I believe she will be a great asset." The toms only response had been a curt nod. He turned away sharply his tail flicking back and forth.
  "Hello?" A voice and brought his mind back to the present. His eyes settled on the small apprentice in front of him.
He plastered on a fake smile, and lifted his tail. "Hello there." He mimicked a joyful tone. "Are you a Starclan cat?" Her head tilted to one side her eyes round with curiosity. Hawkfrost wanted to growl at this question. "No." Let's get to the point already. "Would you like to learn a cool trick?" He said in an excited tone. "Sure!" Replied the young she-kit. She bounced on her paws.

It had been the third night in a row that Hawkfrost had visited Ivypaw in her dreams. She had learn a lot, but would constantly go on tangents, or stray away from the topic. She was doing so right now, chasing a beetle through the grass. Giggling and screeching. Hawkfrost held back a hiss. Ivypaw was seriously bothering him with her over abundant joy. "Why did Tigerstar stick me with this pain in the tail?" He muttered to himself. He couldn't understand what she could be so joyous about! There was nothing to be happy about, especially not for him. Things went wrong for him from the beginning. No one cared for him, or loved him.
  A bump on his side aroused him from his thoughts. Ivypaw had chased the beetle right into his flank. He had to restrain himself from clawing her muzzle. Ivypaw continued to play with the beetle, laughing and giggling all the more. Hawkfrost had had it! "Why are you laughing so much?" He said quietly with an edge to his tone. Ivypaw stopped and stared at him, her eyes glittering like stars. "What do you mean silly?" She said in between giggles. "You don't need a reason to laugh!" Hawkfrost sat up.
That doesn't make sense. He thought.
He couldn't comprehend it. But maybe it was just because he hadn't been happy for moons....

BRO 666 WORDS! Lol, but I was so hyped to write this thing, but when I got down to it I was SO nervous! Please give critique on how I might improve some parts of my writing.

About the story, Hawkfrost may be pretty annoyed and confused by Ivypaw/pool now, but I'm planning to make him warm up to her over time. I want this to seem as natural as possible without rushing it or taking too long. So don't worry. I'm also trying to make the character act as realistically as possible. Anyways hope you enjoyed this and have a good day! ♥️
