Bearpaw |Strong-Willed Soldier of Skyclan|
Merigold eyes narrow suspiciously as the apprentice silently follows carefully behind his brother, Macawpaw. The observant pecan and umber brown maine coon had noticed an unusualness to Macawpaw. The wild brother of his, had been sneaking around for a few moons. Bearpaw had brushed it off as the fiery brother of his just causing his usual mischievous chaos. Now, he was almost certain that he had been wrong in his assumptions, no one had gone to his father to complain about useless pranks, if Macawpaw was not pranking or getting into trouble, then where was he? Bear was making it his mission to find out, sure he should respect his older brother’s privacy, but he could not ignore the nagging feeling that he needed to find out. He made sure to keep his suspicions to himself, not involving anymore of their littermates.
‘What is he up to?’ frowning as he continues to remain several paces behind his brother. His pelt prickled with unease as they slowly moved towards the border. Was he leaving skyclan? He would have to intervene soon, he had hoped to figure out what his brother had been up to, but he could not let them step a paw out of Skyclan without answers. Clenching his jaw as Macawpaw inches closer to the invisible line that separated Skyclan from the rogue territory. “Macaw! What in starclan’s name are you doing? No lying either! Now be honest…” Bearpaw reveals his tall frame from the shadows as he arches a curious stern brow.
“Where have you been sneaking off to?”
Bearpaw |Strong-willed Soldier of Skyclan|
Bearpaw’s curiosity was certainly piqued when his brother begged for him not to mention a word to their father and leader, Firestar. Arching a brow as he silently stares at his brother, debating with himself but ultimately agreed to keep the new knowledge to himself. Nodding slowly as he keeps eye contact with his anxious older brother. “You have my word, Macaw. I will not tell father or mother what you tell me. It will stay between us if you wish.” Bear reassured. Scooting closer to his brother, a small smile twitching on his lips when Macaw lightheartedly bumps his shoulder against his. “You are the definition of trouble and I am honestly surprised and maybe a little impressed that you are still all in one piece” Bear scoffs.
“Though I suppose you are only alive because of my meddling” the tall two toned brown Maine Coon teases before hitting his brother with his fluffy tail. Rolling his eyes, not hiding the fact, as Macawpaw once again asks for reassurance that Bearpaw would not say anything. “You bird brain, my lips are sealed. Now what is it that you are going to tell me?” He questions, his marigold eyes narrowing slightly as he notices Macawpaw’s carefree attitude shift into a more serious tone. Rising easily to his paws as he follows after the red golden tabby Maine Coon. Tuft ears swirling in every direction as he takes in the sounds around him as they trek through the worn out path, his paws pressing into the earth leaving large paw prints behind.
Confusion flickering in his golden eyes taking a tentative step back as Macaw moves foliage away. Blinking rapidly as the bright sunlight shines in his eyes, taking a moment to adjust before moving next to his brother. Side eying Macaw before turning his attention to a barn, arching a brow as he studied the area before his attention lands on the molly just when his brother points her out. Ahhhh. Now he understood the secret that needed to remain unspoken. It would seem that his troublesome brother was lovestruck but it was a loner. Taking a deep breath as he looks at his brother, the happiness in Macaw’s eyes and smile could not be missed. “Hmmm I suppose she is beautiful” he slowly replied, she indeed was beautiful but not his type.
“So I can see that you must be on a first name basis…does she harbor the same feelings as you?” Bear wonders before a snort like laughter escapes his throat. “She may be able to beat a bird brain like you in a fight. But I believe I have a fair chance in beating her” he jokes before allowing the silence to surround the two toms. Biting his lower lip as he decides to reveal a small secret in return. “You know…you are not the only one that is crushing on someone” Bear awkwardly admits. His ears pinning against his cranium as he clears his throat. “You know Hibiscuspaw? Her and her parents joined the clan when we were 4 moons old? I honestly don’t know what I see in her…she is so odd and naive and borderline idiotic but just something about her…not that I would ever tell her” he grunts out.
“There. A secret for a secret.”
