Ravenkit and Juncostar had caused quite the ruckus the other day, putting both himself and Mercuryrose on edge with the boy’s mini adventure. Because of this, the Molly had been high strung, barely eating and constantly keeping a close eye on her kit. Worried that perhaps she would worry herself into starvation, the tomcat had taken it upon himself to catch her a nice plump squirrel, but he wasn’t going to simply just bring it to her. There was no fun in that. Instead the tall and lean tomcat lowered his head as he walked through the nursery, mint green eyes flashing against the shadows as he gave a sniff and a grin. “Hey there, cutie.” Mintstrike purred as he caught sight of the beautiful she-cat, her expression less than amused. She was often a cold shouldered type of gal but he was not going to let that deter him.
“How’s the little fella?” He asked curiously, whiskers drawing back against his cheeks as he shifted slightly to see the small black and white dappled kitten rolling around in his nest, complaining about being grounded to the nest. Grinning softly to himself, the tomcat cleared his throat as he sat down beside Mercuryrose, humming as his tail lightly curled against her shoulder. “I can’t help with the boredom, but I can help with the empty bellies?” Mintstrike hummed, turning his attention back towards Ravenkit with a wiggle of his eyebrows. “I have managed to catch a nice and fat squirrel. But I need some help eating it. What do you say?” Mintstrike hummed, looking back at the she-cat, giving her a toothy smile.
“It’s a nice clear day.” He was tried to sell.

He chuckled and shook his head, ears twitching slightly from his amusement. “Correction, I believe it was I that taught him how to butter you up.” Mintstrike hummed, his long and thin tail rattling at the look she was giving him. Although he was silently relieved that she did like the squirrel, lowering his head to lightly draw his tongue over his front paws before his eyes lifted towards the beautiful Molly. “Well thank you.” He purred, scooting closer to her side while also reaching out to grab the leg of the prey, dragging it closer to himself. Ignoring her pointed gaze, chin dipping down as his teeth dug down into the meat, pulling back as he ripped the flesh away. Chewing on his mouthful while pushing the squirrel back towards her so she could have another bite.
Mercuryrose was not a very soft feline but that was just a front, every feline enjoyed a little bit of affection. He kept a soft smile on his lips even after she stared at him in confusion and surprise when he kissed her brow. Tail tip twitching, his mint green eyes could read the different emotions that were running wild in her dark green and pink eyes. Purring softly as she pressed her lips against his cheek, skin tingling from the touch as he et out a soft sigh, eyes following her as she leaned back. “I wouldn’t have it any other way, Mercuryrose.” Mintstrike meowed, his tail twining with hers slowly to test and see how she would take it, pleasantly elated when she leaned into his side. Smiling as he gave her ears a quick wash, nudging her forehead.
Ears perked up as she spoke, his lips instantly lifting to give her an innocent toothy smile. “Oh thank goodness.” He exclaimed with a laugh, licking his lips. “I don’t even think I have a nest made up in the Warriors den.” The male mused with a soft chuckle as she nudged his shoulder, shaking his head. “We’ve been over this before. I don’t not snore.” Mintstrike grinned cheekily before he used his muzzle to nudge her jaw. “Why don’t you eat the rest of the squirrel and then we will bring the left overs for Ravenkit?” He nodded, deciding not to eat anymore so she could keep her strength and milk supply strong for their son. Prey was always scarce this time of year. Smiling he leaned back and watched her eat, letting out a slow sigh. Leaf-bare was so unsteady.
This Rp is Complete.

“Hm, I see that you’ve learned that special technique of buttering me up from Ravenkit” Mercuryrose said, giving him a look as her eyes were shining brightly in amusement. Her large paws dragged the squirrel towards her before leaning down to take a bite of the piece of prey, letting out a soft hum of approval, she moved the squirrel towards him “Now, I’m not completely rude.. Have dinner with me” The black and rose-gold molly demanded, giving him a pointed look and watched in satisfaction as the golden brown tom leaned down and took a bite of the squirrel . The tall molly may not have the best social skills, but thankfully Mintstrike knew that she wasn’t being rude all the time.
A soft expression appeared on her face at her best friend’s words, Mercuryrose wouldn’t know what she would do without him. The black and rose-gold molly’s cheeks had heaten up when Mintstrike leaned and kissed her brow, a blush appeared on her cheeks. Such affection, she didn’t expect that at all. Watching the tom for a moment, Mercuryrose leaned towards him and brushed her lips against his cheek in the form of a gentle kiss before pulling back “I will always be with you, from the moment the sun rises until it sets.. You’re stuck with me.” The molly said, as she was quite serious in her words.. Feeling his tail starting to intertwin with her feathery tail, testing the waters, Mercuryrose leaned into him once seeing that he wasn’t eating the squirrel. One would assume that the lack and rose-gold molly wasn’t affectionate, but she was actually a secret softie that no one really saw. “Let me think about it.” Mercuryrose said, pretending to begin pondering in her thoughts before turning to look at him “Because I like you, you can sleep with Ravenkit and I.” She said him, looking at the bright smile on his face before nudging her shoulder against his and gave the tom a pointed look “You better not snore, otherwise I’m kicking you out.” The queen huffed slightly, her dark green-pink eyes narrowed. The molly enjoyed her sleep, it was deeply cherished. Thankfully Ravenkit was on a very good sleeping schedule thanks to Mintstrike and Mercuryrose.. But it didn’t mean the black and white tom didn’t kick her in his sleep sometimes, which caused the already grumpy molly to become even more grumpy in the mornings. The mornings were evil, thankfully she wouldn’t be getting up soon for any patrols.. Mercuryrose laughed at Mellowfrost, as he wasn’t a morning feline as well and was forced to get up to plan patrols.. As if that would ever happen to her.

Mercuryrose must’ve been in a good mood today because she wasn’t nearly as snappy as she usually could be, her green and pink colored eyes appeared calm despite the smirk she threw at him. A light puff of air escaped his nostrils as she threatened him, his eyes narrowing playfully as he made a play to bite at her incredibly feathered tail when it flicked against his chest. Although he wouldn’t dare, he’d be plucking tufts of fur out of his teeth for days. “Well, I certainly hope it meets your fancy. If not, I will just have to try harder.” He smiled, not fazed in the least. He knew squirrel was her favorite and if he hadn’t of thought the critter wasn’t plump enough for her tastes then he wouldn’t even had considered asking her to join him for a meal. “Although, I think Ravenkit will vouch for me. He enjoys his cuddles.” Mintstrike snorted to save his pride.
Golden brown fur fluffed up against the light breeze that founds its way into camp, the dark rosettes on his pelt gave him a dark leopard appearance. Spotted pelts were very common within his family tree, usually overcoming other genetics. Adjusting his mint green gaze towards the molly as she nudged his shoulder blade, which prompted a charming smile to reach his face as he gave her a nod. “Of course, this is a dinner date. What kind of Tom do you take me for?” He questioned, giving a wiggle of his brows as he led her towards the old pine, some shelter from the breeze was a must. Her reaction was nonchalant but that was just fine with him, it was so much better than being shut down before he could even offer her the squirrel. “Thank Starclan.” He teased her as she agreed that he could take her on a date, keeping pace with her until he increased his walk in order to wipe away fresh snow.
“No need to thank me. You’ve been holing yourself up in the nursery the past few days. Figured you could use some fresh air.” He smiled lightly, giving a slight shrug of a shoulder before he laid down beside the molly, his brown spotted fur mingling with her gold and black swirled pelt. He felt her tense up a bit but he was playing dumb, using his muzzle to lightly place the critter at her paws before he gave her a smile. “Ladies first.” Mintstrike hummed. Maybe she knew how fast his heart was beginning to beat when she decided to lean into him, the beating getting faster against his rib cage when her heavier tail laid on top of his. Swallowing the lump in his throat, he managed to keep his facial expression neutral.
Her words were sweet and tender, causing him to smile as his mint green eyes dropped to the ground. “You really don’t need to thank me. My best friend had a kit, I had no problem helping out.” Mintstrike purred softly, his chin tilting as he looked at her. Mercuryrose was a little taller than him but that never bothered him, she was incredibly independent but he adored that. Ears perked up before he let out a sigh with a grin, leaning towards the molly as he gave her a small kiss to her brow, accepting whatever smack she would throw at him. “Mercuryrose I will always be here for you, come dark forest or high water.” He promised, his nose lightly booped against her forehead before he pulled back. His tail curled with hers, testing the waters as he looked back down at the prey. “Do you reckon I’m still getting kicked out of the nursery?” He asked, a sheepish smile on his lips.

A small smile tugged at the rose-gold and black molly’s lip when watching Ravenkit and Mintstrike’s interaction, how she enjoyed seeing her son and his father interacting. It truly did warm her heart. Flicking her tail over Ravenkit’s ear, she watched as the black and white tom rushed to hang out with Wildflower’s children. Padding out of the den, and a small smirk appeared on her face as she heard Mintstrike following behind her, pleased that she was clearly the dominant one in their ‘relationship’.. Although the tall Maine Coon couldn’t tell what their relationship was, did he have feelings for her? The grumpy molly couldn’t help but feel warmth in her heart and possibly skipped a beat when Mintstrike called her ‘My rose’. Her feathery tail flicked against his chest “I’ve hoped that you managed to catch the best piece of prey, otherwise someone will be kicked out of the nursery for a while.. It won’t be me.” She huffed, but a playful grin appeared on her face. Although they weren’t together, Mercuryrose allowed Mintstrike to sleep in the nest whenever Ravenkit wanted naps with his parents. While the two parents weren’t’ curled up together, their son slept in the middle while they each took one side.
The molly wasn’t the exact best when it came to social skills, only a few cats had managed to break through that tough barrier that she had put up. Nudging the tom back, she narrowed her dark green-pink eyes “Oh? Are you taking me out on a date?” She questioned, watching his facial expressions to see if he was perhaps joking before she could show her true emotions: Excitement. Turning her face so the brown tom couldn’t see her expression, the molly let out a shrug “Sure, you may take me out on a date.” Mercuryrose simply said, letting the tom lead the way until they were under the pine tree and watched Mintstrike lead the way and stood there while he whipped the area clear of show. The black and rose-gold molly couldn’t help but appreciate the gesture, it was quite gentleman like “Thank you Mintstrike, it’s quite a lovely idea that you’ve come up.” The tall Maine Coon said, dipping her head and being polite to the tom. Going towards the spot, the molly watched as Mintstrike soon dragged the squirrel from under the root and made his way towards her.
Mercuryrose’s eyes slightly widened when feeling his brown fur mingling with her own as he lay down beside her. The molly wasn’t quite used to affection, only her siblings had shown affection towards each other (The good siblings at least).. But never a cat that wasn’t related to her, it was quite an unusual feeling. Relaxing within his touch, Mercuryrose leaned into him before gently placing her tail on top of his. She had hoped that Mintstrike had enjoyed this gesture just as much as she did. “Um.. Thank you.” She said quietly, wanting to make sure that his actions had been acknowledged.. For everything. “It means a lot that you’ve claimed Ravenkit as yours, and you’ve been a wonderful father to him.” Mercuryrose said quietly, and she couldn’t help but become shy as the molly couldn’t help but become vulnerable and looked up at him with a tiny smile “That you’ve been there for me as well.”

He grinned at the look Mercuryrose was giving him. As if she didn’t know what to think about him, but he could see past the frosty exterior she gave. He knew she had a kind soul within that secretly wanted friends. Luckily today she seemed to be in a good mood, as she only shrugged his tail off instead of ripping it off to line her nest. But this was just their natural routine, while his feelings were beginning to settle, he wasn’t exactly sure what Mercuryrose felt for him. But he knew he cared deeply for her. As long as he was part of her life and Ravenkit’s, he was happy.
Her eyes were narrowed and her expression thoughtful as he gave her a smile. “Come on.” Mintstrike said softly, his warm green eyes prompting her to join him outside for a meal. Grinning at the thoughtful expression she was giving him, her eyes looking back at Ravenkit as he could see that she was seriously considering sharing a meal with him. Turning his chin, the brown spotted tomcat gazed towards the Queen further back into the den, flashing her a warm and thankful smile as she agreed to watch their son. Ravenkits small black and white form pressed against his legs as the wee boy appreciated being able to escape his mother’s watchful eye. “Just mind your manners.” Mintstrike hummed, watching his son run back to the other queens nest, soon hearing giggles from the shadows.
Turning back to Mercuryrose, his heart melts as she lightly slapped his face with her tail. “Yes, my rose.” He teased as the Tom turned on his heels, following the molly outside. Snow covered the ground but it was more like a muddy slush within camp, since the ground was trekked upon so often. Using his head to lightly bump against her shoulder blade, he led her towards an old pine tree that cornered the outskirts of camp. “I managed to snag us a dry spot.” He said softly, walking beside her before he moved ahead of her, using his tail to swipe some stray snow away from the roots. “Well... semi dry.” Mintstrike grinned, letting her settle down and get comfortable as he pulled the squirrel out from under a root. “Here you are.” He purred, setting the squirrel down at her paws as he laid down beside her.

The black and rose-gold molly released a small sigh through her nose as she kept hearing Ravenkit’s complains of wanting to leave the nursery. It had been a couple of days since she had caught Ravenkit and Juncostar sneaking out of the camp to have fun in the snow without her permission. The Shadowclan leader was lucky that she had considered him a friend, otherwise his whole pelt would have been ripped off on the spot. Although her son had apologized for his actions, and promised to let her or Mintstrike know he was with someone else and leaving camp.. Mercuryrose still grounded him. The molly had considered grounding him for the whole moon, as she didn’t want her son to leave her sight, but Mintstrike had convinced her to let their son’s punishment go for at least two weeks.
Her ears flicked a moment when hearing familiar pawsteps followed by the voice of Mintstrike, the molly narrowed her eyes slightly when turning back to look at him. Ah yes, Mintstrike. Mercuryrose wasn’t quite sure why the brown tom took such an interest in her, as she usually wasn’t kind to him. She did manage to chase him off a couple of times within the nursery, but he still came back wanting more. Watching Mintstrike for a moment, she let out a scoff and rolled her shoulders which caused the tom’s tail to drop back to the ground “Hello Mintstrike, get your tail off me before I bite it off.” She said cheekily with a smirk on her face. It was their normal way of saying hello, with Mintstrike showing affection while Mercuryrose greeting him.. Along with a couple of threats towards him. Their relationship was quite unusual to other cats, but it was normal between them.
“Food?” She questioned, looking around for the piece of prey that Mintstrike had bought.. But alas, her somewhat favorite male was hiding it from her. Cheeky Tom. Turning to look at the brown tom, she couldn’t help but let out a huff and narrowed her eyes at him, wanting to whack him in the chest but refrained from doing so. Mercuryrose wouldn’t lie, but she was indeed hungry. She had kept a close eye on Ravenkit, and only allowed him outside when she was around.. The black and rose-gold molly had felt disappointed in herself at that moment, as she hated that Ravenkit was left out on a lot of things. While Wildflower’s kits were still pretty young to play with, Ravenkit was practically on his own as his siblings were in Thunderclan.. Peachblossom, Snarlingbadger and herself had agreed when the weather started getting better that Ravenkit could visit his siblings for playdates, and bond with his other parents.. But for now, Ravenkit was stuck with her, Mintstrike, Jasmineflame, Dahlia, Mellowfrost, Waspsight and Juncostar.. So many cats!
“Wildflower, may you watch Ravenkit while I share some prey with Mintstrike?” She questioned the smoky tabby. Wildflower had nodded which caused Ravenkit’s amber eyes to light up, as he enjoyed visiting Wildflower’s nest and speaking with Flintkit, Lilykit and Creekkit. Letting out a purr as the small black and white tom made his way towards her and Mintstrike, he pressed up against his parents “Thank you mom, dad.. I’ll see you later!” He said before rushing off to go hang out with the younger kits. Mercuryrose watched him go before turning around and started padding away, not before lightly smacking Mintstrike in the face with her tail “Let’s go, before I change my mind.”
