⚡️LightningClan: The Fierce and Agile ⚡️Open for Joining!

His tone and his nearness calmed her breathing, the stillness of the forest only making the crys of her heart louder in comparison. She wanted to rush to his side and explain what she was feeling but it felt as though her laws were frozen in spot, the peaceful blanket of white around the two cats a stark contrast to the battle raging within. She flicked her ear at his answer, she needed a better explanation, she was the master of avoiding questions she didn't know how to answer. "What about me? Could you see how weak I really am? Saw me as an easy target, a challange that no one else could crack?" Her voice rose as she spoke, all of her fears boiling over in a harsh tone, the tears now freely falling.

(Hey Hawk! How are you doing?)

"I never saw you as breakable, Lilystep, that's whitest you apart. No tom could ever break you and no tom ever will. Your walls are not a weakness, you are not some challenge to be beaten. I don't want to break you, Lilystep. I want to lift you up. Some, weird unknown part of me wants nothing more than to take those tears away." He remained calm and gentle, the way she made him feel. Moons of both of them confronting their fears was wearing them down, and Applethorn needed it to end. He needed to let her know he would never betray her. "I know you're at war with this, and I am too. A lifetime of trusting only yourself is hard, but letting someone in is harder."

Although the tom swore he didn't want to break her, she felt torn and she knew he had broken something in her. He came crashing through her walls touching her heart of stone and teaching it what it is like to be close to someone, and that scared her. The last cat to get that close was her own flesh and blood and he had tossed her away like she was nothing. "I want to let you in, I'm just scared." Her voice was soft, waivering slightly as she faced him, tears no longer falling but the emotions still swimming in her gaze.

He walked towards her, gently touching his forehead to hers. "I know. I feel it too. I don't know how to trust, or how to love. I'll never be a good tom, Lilystep. I'm broken too." He was glad to see her stop crying, but he knew this was far from settled. How could he quell her fear if he was scared too? How do you even show someone how to trust you?

Lilystep felt a purr begin to bubble out of her as he pressed his forehead against hers, closing her eyes and letting her heart swell in the moment. "We do this together, deal? And no hiding, we need this to be an open relationship." She wasn't sure what had washed over her, but she felt a sudden surge of calmness, like his touch had given her a breath of fresh air. Licking his cheek softly she tucked her head under his chin, pressing herself against his chest.

"Where you going, Little Tom? Did I say something wrong?" She still didn't sound too invested, though truthfully she would be a little sad to see him go. It suddenly occurred to her that she didn't even know the tom's name.

When you don't even realize you used the wrong profile until way too late))

Aight I'mma leave these to to their happy cloud for now, I need to go to bed before work. Night!))

Ello everyone)

Moira glared at him with her one eye, "Now, listen here little tom, I don't think I own the world, but you sure as the night sky don't! Don't barge into other cats' territory just to insult them. Others might not be so slow to anger as I am." She let out an impatient huff, tail flicking with frustration. How dare this little tom?

"Your clan? Little tom, you didn't say you were a clan cat. But I suppose that makes sense, all clan cats do is treat other cats like somehow they're worth less because they don't need others to survive." She hissed at him, looking more than ready to defend herself, should the little tom attack. She didn't want to hurt him, though. He looked tired and lonely, and all she really wanted to do was calm him down. Too bad she wasn't quite built for that kind of forgiveness.

Yes! You want to start?))

hey there!))

Wild! Hey!)
