Starlingclaw, when did you realize you were in love?

Honestly? Somewhere around when Whitecloud and Tigerstorm got their warrior names. The first cat I told was Goose feather, if you can believe it. They were very supportive, which was really helpful. He did make some odd remarks about fire and "the prophecy", which, y'know, was a little weird. Tigerstorm's always been blunt and bad at keeping his opinions to himself, so once I got my warrior name, he immediately confessed.

It went something along the lines of:

"Hey." Tigerstorm padded over to Starlingclaw, his amber eyes staring dead at the ground.

"Uh, hey? You..good?" He raised an eyebrow.

".. you're hot, you know that?" Tigerstorm muttered, still completely focused on the ground like he was hypnotized by it.

"Is this like some weird way to like..flatter me into something? Did you lose a bet?"

"...First of all, I never lose bets, second of all, I am not "flattering you" into anything." Tigerstorm finally looked up, both incredibly confused and mildly offended in the way that friends are.

"Okaaayy...then what is this?"

"Oh my Starclan, I am literally trying to confess to you, why are you so dense?!" Tigerstorm immediately froze after speaking.

"Ohh.. No, that makes sense then. So, mates then?"

"...fuck it all, literally yes." Tigerstorm sighed, dragging his paw across his own face.

I admit, I did teach him some Twolegplace swears. Didn't think it'd snowball into the entire clan using it by the time that Thorn (Thistleclaw) got exiled. I'm pretty sure the author censored it though. Good on them, though. Anyways, that's pretty much the story.

Thistleclaw, why are you so evil?

I'm not evil, you Twoleg weirdo. They've cast me out for nothing! Spottedpaw has lied and turned all of the clan against me for nothing! I knew I should've kept a better eye on her. Mapleshade tricked me into believing that I was already in full power. All she-cats are liars and manipulative, evil, cruel beings that deserve to rot in the Dark Forest alongside the true heathens in this damned forest! If only Snowfur hadn't been murdered by the blue demon..she would've stayed by my side, and defended me..my sweet sweet Snowfur, I promise I'll make this right, I promise to kill her for you. You were the only good she-cat in this world and I swear, they will pay for taking you away. I don't care if everyone hates me, or wants me dead. No injury will ever matter, no disease will ever stop me, as long as I avenge you my love, my dearest Snowfur. They poisoned our son, turned him into a brainwashed version of the strong tom he once was, I'll bring him back, and we'll be together, all of us. Starclan can't stop me from loving you or Whitecloud for the rest of my life. I promise to save him.
