When a Heart Breaks No it Don't Break Even (P)

"Sorry."
He meowed, though it wasn't him who had bumped into her. There was a carefree, lively spark in his faint eyes as always, friendly and affectionate despite his species's genuine aggressiveness. Wait a heartbeat, affectionate? Okay, maybe he did consider Galaxystream as a good friend. A very good friend. The dumb-head, being very young and all, didn't even have the remotest idea of crush and the concept of love.
"Good morning, Galaxystream! Wanna share?"
There was light brightness in his voice that hinted giddiness as he put down on a fat pheasant by the silver feline. He was an eager kit, waiting for every word of Galaxystream.

It'd be embarrassing if he hadn't.
"Yeah!" Chickenpaw nodded fervently. "I hope to catch bigger game when I'm fully-grown like deer or caribou!"
The young lion glanced over at Galaxystream hopefully.
"We should really go patrolling or hunting together later..."
He always felt energized around the silver tabby. He wished he could be her best friend, though the knight already had lots of friend.

"That's great! You'd be as big as me now!"
Chickenpaw exclaimed very happily. Sunlight radiated his dashing white fur.
"We can hunt big games together. We'd have to be fast and nimble not to get kicked in the chin, but I'm sure we'll survive."
You know what? Chickenpaw really loved how she flicked his ear about. He could die happily knowing that Galaxystream flicked his ear.

"Whoa, there's thunder in broad daylight!"
Chickenpaw pretended to look up at the clear, blue sky before swiveling his joyous eyes to give Galaxystream a very affectionate nuzzle on her flank. Actually, a VERY affectionate nuzzle, though he himself didn't realize it much. He's probably gonna realize that after a few heartbeat.

At her ticklish, hushed whisper, the young lion felt quite self-conscious.
"I-I don't know," he spoke in an equally hushed whisper, blinking for a moment at Galaxystream.
It was like a spur-of-a-moment thing, but he didn't think that'd be a good idea to mention to the amazed silver tabby. The lion tried to shrug nonchalantly, failing greatly in doing so.
"That was...revenge for your flicks."
Well done, Chickenpaw. Way to go to proceed with romance!

OOC: Do you notice how my fancypost keeps changing like crazy? I'm editing it out.

IC:
Chickenpaw felt taken aback by her comment, not understanding it for a moment.
"Well... I'm not a serious lion on most times, but I can get serious at times, believe me. Probably."
The trainee felt a cold paw on his heart. It looked like Galaxystream didn't want any..serious, real relationship! But..did that matter? Friends weren't supposed to have serious relationships, right? But it hurt a bit. Maybe he did want to become a very serious friend with Galaxystream.

"N-nothing's wrong."
The lion tried not to wild or look deflated in Galaxy's eyes. It'd be embarrassing if....if.... But he didn't LIKE anyone, much less Galaxystream. Which was weird since Galaxy and he were friends. Love was like a fairy tale thing, right?
"Why, do I look wrong?"

Joke of the Year?
Hey, that remark stung!
And the worst thing that her eyes looked concerned.
He was just prancing on his own. She didn't seem to care. She didn't care. It was only him who was goofing around in his lovey-dovey antics. He tried to look more optimistic despite his sad heart.
"I guess it is, a lion and a cat."
He made an awful joke, hastily tearing off a large chunk of pheasant and chewing it in his jaw.

"Oh, don't be sad!"
His fur stood on end at her mournful expression.
"I want to soothe your sadness, not be the cause of it....please."
He begged. His eyes stung at her sad expression. She wasn't supposed to make that expression.
"I..I don't want you to be sad anymore. I know you've had a terrible past and a bad relationship with Stickypaw, but I don't want you to be hurt. I want you to...heal now. Heal from the shadows of the past."
Meh, poetic guy.

"O-okay," he gulped, trying to think of something, "My siblings all disappeared after our dad dumped us in HawkClan. Flashcub told me that dad will come back, but now I realize he'll never do that. He's gone. I'm all alone with no family. E-everyone seems to be kin, but not me. I know I have friends, but sometimes it hurts when I see kits and their mothers."
He didn't care about his family anymore though. He was through that. He wanted..he just hoped that...

For a moment, his heart skipped a beat at her 'I like you', but then went downcast when he realized she meant it as a friend. A best friend. That was good and all, but he'd remain in that position forever..in her heart. The young lion himself wasn't sure what he was thinking about. He just didn't..want this. He felt sad. He wanted Galaxystream to...to do what? He wasn't sure.

All he knew was that he wanted to hear her 'I like you' again.

Because he liked her too.
