OOC: Ha! Blushing. I don't actually think cats can do that... But a'well!
IC: Before submerging in the water Shiverfrost drew in a breath. Her head completely under what she gently pushed Redwhisker off and swam towards the surface. Shaking her head she shook the water off and turned to face Redwhisker. "Hey! You can't tackle a she-cat! Not until she's ready."
"Hey, you can't attack a she-cat until she's ready!" He mimicked, laughing.
Growling playfully she pushed Redwhisker under water, swimming away before he could catch her.
RedWhisker rolled over into hunter's crouch under the water, making the she-cat confused. Then, he leaped out of the water, and landed onto her back, pushing her under water, staying on top of her until he realized the strange position, and jumped off, fading into the water again.
Rising to the surface once again she drew in a breath and turned in search of Redwhisker. "That was a sneaky move Redwhisker!" She laughed. Looking around their still wasn't any sign of the dark finger Tom. "Redwhisker?"
"You shouldn't of done that.." A low, but playful, growl came from in front of her. She recognized the voice as the one and only, RedWhisker. ShiverFrost didn't have time to do anything but glance as the tabby tom tackled her into the water, growling softly.
Submerging once again swam quickly away, a playful gleam in her sapphire eyes was stained on her eyes. Swimming to the surface she started panting in exhaustion. "You know what Redwhisker? I think we should take a break, you've been pushing me to the limits." She purred lazily.
"No regrets.." He purred, pushing himself onto the warm bank, sharing tongues with ShiverFrost. After a minute or so, he got up and came back with her prey she earlier caught, and a fresh squirrel, he must of just killed.
"Looks like I'm not the only one with skills," Shiverfrost purred, eyeing the freshly caught squirrel.
He laughed. "I'm not skilled. The flea-brained thing came right up to me, as if it was begging to be fresh-kill!" He laughed. He took a bite, then spread out in the sun.
Shiverfrost found herself staring at Redwhisker, basking in the sunlight. His dark ginger coat shone a brilliant red making him look as pure as copper. He looked over to her and she quickly shied away. She felt her pelt heat up, her cheeks burned as if they were on fire. Why am I acting like this? she thought. Red whisker was just a friend. Dismissing her feelings she asked. "How's the squirrel?"
RedWhisker looked over, his green eyes daring to look into her icy blue ones. Her misty grey pelt shimmered in the sunlight, giving her a glow he had never seen on a cat before. He blushed. "Hotblooded, I guess," referring to the wavering heat. "Do you want to go on a walk? Um... I need to talk to you..."
"Walk? Sure." Shiverfrost mewed. Rising to her paws she waited for Redwhisker to take the lead.
[glow=red,2,300]He rose calmly and walked down to a secret path. They walked several yards until they were out of earshot. "ShiverFrost, I've been thinking..." He said looking at her, "I think I want to be your mate" He whispered, his red pelt now blood-red. He looked down at the dust forming under his paws as he took each step, avoiding her sapphire gaze. His breaths were shaky. But he knew this was his only chance, away from the clan.[/glow]
"W-what?" she said, her voice barley a whisper. Her pelt once again bbegan to feel sticky and hot. She didn't know what to say.
"I know your not deaf.." He growled. He was now nervous, blushing, and embarrassed. Has he made a mistake? Probably, he thought. "I understand if you don't feel about me in the same way I feel for you.. But..." He cut himself off, thinking he would say something wrong. His green eyes wavered with fear.
"I-I just," Shiverfrost was stuttering, this was all happening so fast. "I don't know what to say."
"I know.. But.. We've known each other for more than 25 moons.. And it's just... Eurgh!" He meowed, angry at himself. He raked his front paws in the dirt, his claws making streaks in the dirt, leaving RedWhisker's white paws dusty.
OOC: I know this is rough on Redwhisker but I just love writing drama! Is it okay if Shiverfrost declines this offer but then soon realize she might have feelings?
IC: "Redwhisker!" Shiverfrost exclaimed. She was shocked at the ginger toms reaction. "I-I didn't... I just... Ugh" Shiverfrost sighed. "I... Just don't think I'm ready."
OOC: I love drama too. Except in school. The fifth graders, them...
IC: RedWhisker suddenly had an urge to run away. He bunched his muscles and leapt from ShiverFrost, back the way they came. With his strong haunches and long, steady legs, he was faster then the silver she-cat, and ran into his den. He curled up in the darkest corner (for hiding) and weeped. He half feared rejection...
