The tom didn't plan to do this. Well, he did, but he never had a specific date. It seemed like something he was just dragging on, and that it would probably never happen. The tuxedo was probably one of the most bravest cats here. He was brave enough to do anything. He was also extremely loyal. So loyal, he ended up obeying Skull's new rules under Oceanus; even when he despised females greatly.
But that was mostly physical issues, nothing this big, this emotional. And she was everything. She was just about all he thought about, and that's what worried him. Every since he was young he was taught three things. One: Pain is weakness leaving the body. Two: You're superior to all females, don't waist time on them. And three: To love is to die.
When you charge into battle, you need to be able to lay everything down on the line. You need to fight your best, and not have any distractions. If you have family, friends or a mate you're doomed. If you love them, you'll worry over them. And that was a distraction. Once Flick was forced to kill his elder brother, his heart snapped in two. Out of revenge and also his weird thirst for blood, at the age of 5 moons he then killed his father minutes later. But since then, he's shut everyone out. His dad may have been a horrible parent, but he seemed right about the third rule.
But now the tom was stuck with those things he feared worse. Best friends, loved ones and cats who seemed like family. But he didn't love them, not like he did his brother. So he was ok with that. He'd leave it. And then she came. The girl was the first Wench in Skulls, and attraction came pretty quickly. At first it was a friendship, but it grew more for the head shanghai.
And now the mentor was feeling horrible. There were so many issues with the situation. He would worry about her in battle, and that put his clan in danger. If he confessed, she might say no. She could break his heart. She could leave someday, die someday. She could end up being a traitor, being evil. She could love some other male, or even female.
Also, the tux had a reputation. He was able to throw everything on the line with everything. He didn't need to worry, he could win every battle because he had the strength. And plus, having a mate could make him seem weak. He'd been seen as the cold-hearted, cunning loyal tom. Not the wimp buckling when a woman walks by.
But he'd a chat with his little sister, not by blood, and youngest deckhand Sinara. And her insight had boosted his courage. So he'd decided. Flick decided to lay it all down, and take the biggest risk of all.
"June, I'm in love with you." The tom called into the distance, starring at his lover.
