Mossflower looked at Ebonycloud. "You've. Mooned. Over. Duskstar. Since. You. Were. Kits." She turned around and stormed out, mad. "Oh!" She cried over her shoulder, "Leave me alone. You... You LEADER MOONER. I've been your friend since we were kits! HOW COULD YOU LIKE HER AND NOT TELL ME?" She shook her head, furious, then ran away, into the warriors den, mad at Ebonycloud. He never not told her a secret. Yeah, she may be a careless furball, but she would always keep a secret. No matter what.
Ebonycloud's jaw dropped at what Mossflower was saying, "Since we were kits?" The tom was more confused than a badger without sight or smell, stuck between two thunderpaths. He shook his head, "I was almost a warrior when she was born. What the heck is she talking about?" He snorted slightly and turned toward Duskstar again, "I didnt know i looked like was mooning over you. Is it so wrong to want to talk with your best friend?" He growled deeply to himself, "I dont get it at all..." "We only really started talk together yesterday..." He frowned before escorting Duskstar as far as the rock fall. "Does it seem like im mooning over you?" His voice quivered a bit.
Paintedleaf turned her head to see Mossflower stomp into the warriors den. Looking over to Ebonycloud and Duskstar she knew exactly what happened. Mostly because Mossflower had yelled out most of the conversation though. Sighing she rested her head on her paws again and looked up at the sky. "Oh Starclan please help us. " Sher mewed sarcastically and closed her eyes again.
Duskstar smiled softly, gently, before licking his ear reassuringly. "Even if others thought you were...well, you couldn't say that I mind it. You're the closest friend I've had, forever, and...well..." she paused, frowning softly. However she said her next words, it would be strange. She looked down to the ground and lowered her voice, looking off to the side. "I wouldn't want it any other way." Her voice dropped to the merest whisper, so low that it could be confused as the sound of the wind. "I...I love you...."

"That was not comforting either!"
"It is the way of the Creed. Usually our deaths are violent but quick."
Ebonycloud strained his ears to hear her voice as he dropped lower. His eyes widened and his heart pounded. Could she really have just said that. The black tom's jaw dropped and he stayed silent. His brain had shorted out at the confession. This was weird, certainly not in a bad way though. He usually wasnt at a loss for words. He could quip back and joke more so than some others but now he was speechless. "You... You really mean that Duskstar?" A small unbelieving smill grew in to a broad grin across his face. His ice blue eyes twinkled with delight. "Well I'll be... Never thought it was possible that you'd feel that way for me." For a moment tears misted his eyes but he blinked them away. "I... I love you too Duskstar," he stepped foward and pressed his nose to her cheek and purred loudly.
Scorchheart gave a meaningfull grin as she watched Ebonycloud and Duskstar confess. Now it had finally gotten out~how would the clan take it? Bah, whatever, she thought ist was a good idea. Duskstar had chosen wisley for her mate, even if he could be a bit of a pain in the butt sometimes, but still, he was smart and as was she. Ebonycloud had also chosen wisley~Duskstar needed him as much as he needed her.
Ooc: A time skip would be nice, if it's okay with everyone. Oh, and Scorchheart, they're whispering, so you probably can't hear them...
Ic: Jaggedpine sighed. How could the other clans treat them like this? They weren't lying or anything, but the other clans didn't want to believe it, and he thought that was why they had wanted to start a fight. He padded out of his den and restlessly stalked around the camp, trying to think. He saw Scorchheart. He needed someone to talk to. He walked over to her. "Hello," he said, tail whisking. He saw Ebonycloud and Duskstar looking all sweet together, and he thought about what one cat had said. "...mooning over her since you were kits!" He folded his lips back in a snarl. So what of they liked each other? He bet that cat had a mate! It wasn't against the warrior code to have a mate!

I am Jaggedpine. Just thought I should let you know.
ooc: Nah but Scorchheart saw them I'm just explaining what she thinks she sees is going on but my post is confusing and gives you another general idea. XD Thanks jaggers!
ic: Scorchheart waved her tail at Jaggedpine. "Hi Jaggers. How's it going for ya?" she asked kindly. She wondered why some of those cats had sneered at the thought of Ebonycloud and Duskstar liking eachother. There was nothing against it. Besides the ojnly ones who couldn't have mates were medicine cats but that was another matter. She let out a semiconscious snarl remembering how they had treated Duskstar at the gathering. She didn't need more trouble than what she had and they had been like spoiled kits! Making false acusations and some that all of them knew were logically impossable.
Duskstar purred, her eyes closing in contentment as she pressed against Ebonycloud, twining herself around him. "I never knew how to tell you. To be honest, I was afraid that you wouldn't feel the same, and that our relationship would change...in a bad way. But, I'm so glad that it didn't," she added, purring again.
