Auroraskies Skyclan Queen
Violet-amber eyes were narrowed as Aurora was waiting impatiently outside of the leader’s den, her tail lashing back and forth in frustration. Firestar really wanted to test her patience today huh? He should know better by keeping her waiting this long. Grumbling when hearing that the meeting was finally over, the heavily pregnant molly waddled into their shared den without looking at any of the warriors nearby, her gaze going to Firestar instead. The others weren’t any concern, he was. Noticing that the other warriors were still present in their den, the molly became irritated as she turned towards the others with her eyes narrowed “Alright, your meeting is over now. Get out of my den.” Aurora said, her tail pointing towards the direction of the entrance. A couple of cats stood there shocked, as the black and golden Maine Coon was usually very polite and patient.. But this second pregnancy really brought out a different side of Aurora, thanks to the hormones.
“Get on now, Shoo!” Aurora said, dismissing the other cats. Watching as the group of warriors were filing out of the den and into the clearing, the queen turned to look at the ginger Maine Coon before letting out a huff “I’m still upset with you.” Aurora said, as he knew perfectfully why she wasn’t pleased with him at the moment. Last night, Fire snorted into her ear once again. She tried moving away from her mate when she had woken up from the snoring, but instead of letting her move, Fire’s massive paw that was resting against her swollen stomach kept her from moving and remained there throughout the night. It didn’t help that their five moon kits were also in the den, as they were growing like weeds and there wasn’t much room for all of them. Tumblekit, Scorchkit and Thornkit made the choice of moving to the daytime nest they had within the nursery because all three boys were so big. So, it was just the girls sleeping with Fire and Aurora for the time being. However, Aurora would be moving into Speckledmoss’ den in a couple of days so she can begin nesting there. Of course, Fire keeps denying that he snores and even throws the blame on Aurora, but she believed that she was in the innocent party.
“You took forever, I wanted to see you.” Aurora grumbled as she began waddling to their nest, her waddle was quite adorable even if she was being complicated. Her stomach wasn’t as big as their first litter, but it was still big enough that Firestar could easily lay his head on it and talk gently to it whenever he wanted. Letting out a snort, Aurora circled in the space that she usually slept at until lowering herself into the nest. Letting out a soft sigh, a grin appeared on her lips as the black and golden molly was pleased with finally being able to relax. Bear had offered to watch the kits while Aurora took a moment to rest, as looking after 6 kits while carrying more kits inside her womb was very tiring. As of late, Bear and Waspfrost had helped with watching over the kits while Firestar was performing his leader duties. Her two brothers helped a lot, and even Cosmokit helped with managing her siblings until Fire came and all of them could spend time together as a family.
Opening her eyes, the molly looked over at the shell that she had given Fire on one of their dates. A fond smile appeared on her lips as she looked at it for a while, as the shell meant so much to her just as much as it did to her mate. Letting out a soft purr, Aurora shifted towards another part of the nose and her eyes widened slightly before narrowing. “Firestar.” She said, calling him by his full name whenever she was annoyed at him. Waving her paw, she gestured for him to come over. It wasn’t until she watched the massive tom coming towards her and the molly pointed at an empty spot with her golden paw “Where are my berries?!” She said, looking at him with an annoyed look. It was her secret stash that she kept nearby her side of the nest, as she tended to have late night cravings and instead of waking up Fire, she could easily eat from her little pile. Even the kits knew not to eat from her stash, as they knew how cranky their mother could be. But it seemed like someone saw her pile and got hungry, and she knew who the suspect was.. Her lovely mate.
THIS RP IS COMPLETE
Firestar |The Courageous Lion of Skyclan|
Grinning to himself at the startled squeal that escapes his mate. His bi-colored eyes twinkling in the dim lighting of their den. It was nice to get some alone time with Aurora as usually their den had kittens running amuck. The silence around that was comforting as the couple cuddle within their nest. Firestar was just content in this moment, his paws wrapped around her swollen abdomen, pressing his toe beans carefully on Auroraskies belly as he rubs soothing circles. Staring up at the ceiling, letting the comforts of his den and mate surround him. A quirk of his lips raises as he listens to Aurora talk about her day. It was such a simple normal question for him to ask, but not with his family. “Oh? Finally figured out their scheme?” Fire questions with intrigue as he shifts slightly more to be able to glance down at the blacK golden molly.
Eyebrows raising in surprise as she reveals that Scorchkit and Thornkit had attempted to invade Riverclan. An amused snort escapes him, shaking his large cranium fondly. “Those two sure have an imagination” he agrees as he takes in just how those two thought they would accomplish such a thing. “I swear they did not get their scheming from me” he teases, knowing that his two sons most definitely got their mischievous personality from him during his younger years. Purring quietly as he feels her tail curl around his as she nuzzles lovingly on his chest. “Oh I’m sure Primrosekit was thrilled to have been the one to have foiled their plans” he grins, knowing how melodramatic she could be. “Hope they learned their lesson” Firestar hums out, knowing that Scorch and Thorn would only lay low for now.
“I am glad that Beekit, Primrosekit, and Cosmokit are keeping Claypath company” smiling softly as he thinks of his older son. Knowing Claypath often felt out of place or alone, when he was not in the slightest. Fire had noticed that his older boy had been spending an oddly amount of time outside of camp, but he knew better than to question him. Firestar understood that his son felt the need to prove himself useful to his clan after his nearly fatal injury. He just wished there was a way to convince Claypath that there was no need. Sighing softly to himself as he knew that Claypath just needed time, when he was ready to talk Fire would be there waiting. Wrapping his paw securely around her smaller frame, rubbing his paw lovingly up and down her side as he snuggles against her.
Wrinkling his nose playfully as she boops his nose. Kissing the crown of her head affectionately as he closes his eyes, enjoying their loving moment together. “You are wonderful as well. I love you.” He mutters before slowly drifting off into a peaceful slumber with his mate by his side.

Looking at Fire, she playfully pouted at him before and a huge grin appeared on her face causing the pregnant molly to lean towards him and rubbing her cheek against him “Good, I enjoy being your psycho.. Gives me joy knowing that I bring such entertainment.” Aurora purred loudly, teasing him. Every day with her soulmate was an adventure, and she enjoyed being with him from the moment Aurora would wake up next to him cuddled up together, until they would lay with their kits at night time and she would kiss him goodnight before going to bed. Looking down towards the fossil, her small golden paw went towards his massive one and rubbed her toe beans into his own “Hm? What did you say?” She asked, a gentle smile appearing on her lips when pretending not to hear about Fire telling her not to spoil him. The molly always enjoyed spoiling her mate and kits, it always made her happy to see her family with huge smiles on their faces. Fire deserved to be spoiled, as she loved him so much.. He deserved to be loved and completely pampered by his mate.
Feeling her cheeks redden at his words, one of her golden paws went to fan herself as she felt herself blushing “Fire, you’re making me blush..” She said shyly, knowing that Fire absolutely loved when he made her blush and swoon. Ah, true love.. It was such an amazing thing to experience. Her violet-amber eyes widened slightly when Fire moved the fossil away gently only to wrap one of his forelegs around her gently and let out a small squeal of delight “Fire!” She giggled when he brought her down. The pregnant molly moved until she was comfortable, while her mate was making himself comfortable as he was settling on his back. A loud purr escaped the black and golden molly when she rested her head on his chest, her paw moving towards his own massive one and guiding it until it rested on her rounded belly and felt him rubbing circles against her. Aurora loved spending these little moments with Fire, the times that they would cuddle in bed and ignore the outside world and their focus was on each other instead.. With Fire, her whole entire world was complete.. Her love was truly one of the best things that entered her life, and their kits always gave her such happiness.. Aurora had such unconditional love towards her family.
Nuzzling into her mate, a small hum escaped her while a smirk appeared on her face “What happened today?” She asked, and let out a small sigh as her cheek began to rub against his broad chest as she thought about the headache that she suffered this morning thanks to two certain little troublemakers. “I found out why Scorchkit and Thornkit were acting suspicious the other day.” The black and golden molly said, as the two parents were noticing that the two boys were acting nicer than usual the other day when Fire came to visit the nursery during one of his breaks and they instead ran to one of the corners of the nursery and began whispering something instead. A warm smile appeared on her face and chuckled “So your sons had decided they had plans to invade Riverclan..” Aurora began, and looked up to see the confused look on her mate’s handsome face. Of course the molly knew this was gonna be quite the story, as it truly amazed her with their imagination.
“They decided the course of action was to create an underground tunnel.. So they decided to create one.. In the nursery.” Aurora said, as she went back to rest her head back down on his broad chest and her tail went to intertwine his own. She didn’t know how Thornkit and Scorchkit came up with all these plans, but then again.. Look who their father was and how he was as a kit. “So they began creating the entrance of the tunnel, only to completely abandon the project altogether.. The only reason I found out was because Primrosekit wanted to sit in one of the spare nests within the nursery, only for the nest to start sinking down.” Aurora explained as she remembered her little Prim complaining as her fur collected dust, along with Thornkit and Scorchkit fleeing the nursery when Aurora moved to discover the ‘tunnel entrance’. Of course her boys owned up to their failed project, and began covering up the small hole that was created when she left the nursery.. So that problem was fixed.
“Primrosekit, Beekit and Cosmokit are spending time with Claypath.. They wanted to have lunch with him.” Aurora said softly with a smile on her face. The black and golden molly adored her step-son, loved him like he was one of her own. Although she noticed that Claypath had been acting slightly strange lately.. He was leaving camp more, especially when Firestar wasn’t looking. Aurora didn’t think much of it, as she thought the brown and chocolate tom simply was exploring the secluded falls more as he mentioned he had loved the place. She didn’t bring any of this to her mate yet, as Claypath didn’t seem like he wanted anyone to know about something.. But the younger tom always knew that he could always approach her for anything. Letting out a small sigh, Aurora looked up at him “You’re quite a wonderful tom, did you know that?” She questioned, flirting with her mate. One of her toe beans went to boop him on the nose before purring. - dc1ed2
Firestar |The Courageous Lion of Skyclan|
“I am not dramatic!” Firestar scoffs with a small grin tugging at his rubbery hued lips. Face scrunching up as she playful nips at his tufted ear. Pulling her closer, enjoying the feel of her smaller frame against his larger one. He could sense a mood change within Auroraskies, her normal attitude starting to peak through her previous agitation. The ginger Maine Coon still felt guilty for eating her berries, it had not crossed his mind of the possibility that they were hers. A decision that he was certainly regretting at this moment. Loosening his grip as he allows her to slowly turn within his grasp. His gaze softening at her frown, rising one of his large paws as he lightly caresses her face, trying to smooth the frown away. Purring in content as she caresses his face in return, leaning into her touch, savoring the moment before letting her cuddle into his chest. Ears twitching as he listens to her attentively, smiling slightly at her childish words, she was so cute when she subtly apologizes.
Enjoying her warmth as she nuzzles even closer to him. Her large stomach causing slight distance between them. “Yes, soon we will go collect more berries for our stash. Then hide them from the kits. I don’t trust those little buggers” Firestar chuckles lightly. He could already imagine berry stained faces of Scorchkit, Thornkit, and possibly Beekit. Softly cooing her as he listens to her sniffles, “You have nothing to apologize for, I would have been the same way and I don’t have hormones to blame” he mutters with a grin, trying to lighten the mood. Feeling her pull away, bi-colored eyes watching her carefully. Spotting a few tears glistening her cheeks. Humming softly as his rough tongue rasp along her cheeks, licking away her tears. “It’s okay love. You are my psycho” he purrs out lovingly. He would not change Auroraskies in any way. She is perfect.
After finishing his sentence he watches Aurora lean forward to give him a loving kiss. It only lasted a moment, but it was a sweet moment he cherished. Firestar loved the simple moments with his mate, where they could simply lay in bed together and enjoy the company of one another. Arching a curious brow at her, “Aurora…” he sighs, shaking his mane in mild exasperation. “How many times have I told you to stop spoiling me” he teases, though in a way he was serious. He did not want her to think she was obligated to shower him with gifts, not when she was giving him the best gift of all. Being his mate and making him a father is all he could ever ask of her. Watching her with adoration as she waddles away, a chuckle escaping him at the sight. Leaning back, his attention slowly moving to the ceiling above him. Eyeing the smoothened wood in slight interest. Forepaws resting against his stomach, chest rising and lowering rhythmically as he patiently waits for his mates return.
His attention peaking as he hears the shuffling of the black golden molly returning. Shifting into a sitting position, huffing at being told to close his eyes. He hated surprises as he always liked to know right away. After a moment of debating, he finally obeys. Calling out to let her know that his eyes were indeed closed. His paper thin tufted ears swirling in her direction as he listens to every movement she made. Tracking where she was within the den, hearing her settle next to him. As well as feeling a cold smooth object placed between his forepaws. Brows furrowing in curiosity, finally given the go ahead to open his eyes. Blinking several times before glancing in surprise at the ammonite fossil. The details and the dark crimson coloring shining in the den’s dim lighting gave it a hypnotic glow. “I love it” he admits before looking over at her. “But you don’t need to thank me, Love. We are in this together. Through every mood swing, I love you” returning the Eskimo kiss with a kiss to her forehead.
“I’ll have to add it to my growing collection” he muses as he glances over at his two shells off to the far right. A fond smile before he wraps his paws around her, suddenly dragging her down with him, letting her lay across his chest. “How was your day? Anything interesting?” He questions, genuinely wondering what her day was like before coming here.
Auroraskies
Skyclan Queen
Letting out a playful scoff, she leaned forward to nip his ear playfully “You’re so dramatic!” She said, a smile forming on her face when looking back at her mate. It seemed like her hormones had passed through, the black and golden molly returning to her normal self. Aurora let out a small frown and slowly began to turn over until she was facing her love. Her small paw went to caress his cheek, before moving to cuddle him. Aurora didn’t want Fire to seem like she was upset with him, as she wasn’t. If the ginger tom wanted to snack on something, he was more than welcomed to.. Aurora was perhaps being too dramatic. “We’ll go out and get the berries, Together. Just so we can see which ones we like for our stash.” Aurora said softly, moving to nuzzle her face into his neck and releasing a loud purr. No matter the amount of hormones that she was going through, Fire was still her everything. The ginger tom was with her throughout thick and thin during everything, and her love for him was infinite.. She found new things to love about him every day, Aurora wasn’t even sure that was possible.. But nothing was impossible.
“I’m sorry, these hormones are a bit crazy.” Aurora said, slightly sniffling after feeling a bit emotional when pulling back to look at him. A small laughter escaped her when wiping away the tear that escaped her and shook her head in amusement “I just love you so much, I’m sorry that I’m turning into a psycho during this pregnancy.” She apologized with sincerity in her voice. The black and golden molly was grateful that her love was willing to restock the berries, as she had no problem going outside herself and didn’t want her mate to stress about it. Leaning forward, her lips brushed against his cheek for a moment before moving to give him a sweet kiss on the lips. Enjoying the moment as they were snuggled together, an idea popped into her head as she had been wanting to give him a gift for a while.. Of course their anniversary happened a moon ago, where Fire presented her with a beautiful pearl necklace while Aurora had gifted him a beautiful new shell. “There’s something I’ve been wanting to give you.” The pregnant molly said softly, slowly pulling away from him before taking a deep breath to get up and waddled her way out of their den
It took a couple of moments, followed by Aurora having to stop and catch a breather since her heavily pregnant stomach was quite heavy with hers and Fire’s babies. The black and golden molly made her way into the nursery and towards the daytime nest that Aurora and the kits shared while Firestar was doing his leader duties in their den. Thankfully she had found one of the corner spaces and was able to hide the little treasure behind the nest.. Aurora instructed the kits not to touch this special object, as it belonged to their father (But of course, Thornkit and Scorchkit would poke it before running away) Aurora had shown the kits a couple of days ago, and they loved it. The molly had thought that her sweet kits would somehow take the gift hostage and keep it for themselves.. But her babies were always so well behaved. Nosing some feathers away from the Ammonite Fossil, she carefully picked up the shiny red object and made her way out of the nursery and into the clearing.
Once making it to the entrance of their den, Aurora said with a muffled voice “Close your eyes Love!” She said, and listened for Fire to tell her that his eyes were closed. Peeking her head into the den, the black and golden molly soon waddled back into the leader’s den and made her way into their huge nest. Settling down beside the massive ginger Maine Coon, Aurora soon placed the small fossil between his large paws and grinned before speaking softly “You may open your eyes Love, I’ve wanted to give you this as a Thank you for being so patient to me during this pregnancy.” Aurora said, and leaned forward to give her mate a Eskmo kiss. The black and golden Maine Coon enjoyed spoiling her mate with gifts and pampering him, as he always deserved it. Watching her mate as he looked down to see the fossil, she knew that it was the perfect gift as it seemed like he loved it.
Firestar~Leader of Skyclan
Was she seriously still going on about his snoring? If he had even been snoring in the first place, the ginger tabby was still convinced that she had woken herself up with her snoring. Pursing his lips in mild irritation as he watches his mate huff and puff from their nest, it was clear to him that she would not be dropping the subject anytime soon. Bicolored eyes flicker to her large stomach, scoffing as Aurora smugly says that their kittens agree with her. "Obviously they are trying to say you are incorrect" he teases with a smirk tugging on his black rubbery hued lips. His feathery fiery and sandstone ginger tail flicks side to side contently as he slowly moves closer to his love. "I think you just like hitting me and use snoring as an excuse" Firestar accuses, playfully eyeing her skeptically. Several times over the last few moons, he had been rudely awakened with a light slap to the shoulder or chest, followed by the demand to turn over to stop his snoring. He was slowly becoming accustomed to turn onto his side without complaint, anything to settle his easily agitated mate.
Suddenly the topic changes to her missing berries, blinking slowly as he slowly comprehends that the sweet fruit he had eaten earlier was not the kits' snacks. Biting his inner cheek, keeping his face avoid of any emotion that would give him away. Stepping into the nest, towering over the black golden Molly as he studies where her stash once lay. Shrugging his broad shoulders as he gives her a sympathetic look, "I am sorry your berries are gone, we shall restock your sweets" he promises--it was the least he could do since he was the one who depleted the stash in the first place. Tilting his chin downwards slightly as Aurora beckons him to lay down, it was clear he was hesitant to do so. Knowing Auroraksies, she always had a few traps up her sleeve that he sometimes caught on too late. After a moment of careful observation, he settles gently beside her, making sure she had plenty of room to move around--not wanting to squish her or make her feel claustrophobic.
Becoming on alert at her overly sweet words, her tone taking a mischievous tilt, telling the ginger tabby that he had unwittingly fell into her trap. "What do you want?" eyes narrowing, this couldn't be good at all. Brows shooting up in surprise as she demands a kiss, warning bells going through his head. Chuckling a little forcefully, shaking his head in amusement, "I know you...you are up to something and I am not falling for it" Firestar warns, not moving to give into her. Feeling her fluffed tail curl around his as she scoots closer to snuggle into him. He could feel her purring against him, confirming his early statement that the kits were indeed with Bear. Nodding in understanding, a small frown adorning his lips at her well placed sigh as she mentions wanting her berries that she suspected the kits ate. Now Firestar knew she was on to him, that she basically already knew, as she would hardly ever blame her precious kits, not unless she had proof that mainly Thornkit or Scorchkit had done anything.
A small gasp escapes him as she tries to lightly force his head downwards, to kiss his berry flavored lips. Huffing as he resists, his stubborn persona not wanting to let the little vixen before him win. After a few moments of battling, Firestar finally gives in, deciding he might as well get it over with, knowing Aurora would find out eventually as he suspected that she already knew. Closing his eyes as their lips connect for a moment, feeling her pull away along with a solid whack to his broad chest. Grunting as he pouts at her, "Such an abuser" he childishly pouts. Watching her turn fully away from him, showing him her back as she was less than impressed with him at the moment. Sighing loudly through his nose as he moves closer, cuddling into her. Wrapping his forepaws securely around her, making sure she could not escape him. Planting small chaste kisses to the back of her shoulders as he mumbles into her ear. "I am sorry--did not know they were yours. I was just trying to stay alive during that meeting" he explains softly with a pleading tone for her to look at him.
Auroraskies
Skyclan Queen
Narrowing her violet-amber eyes, she let out a soft hmph as she settled into the nest and watched her mate. Turning her face away from him “I know.. I just wanted to see you, although I shouldn’t be happy after your snoring last night.” Aurora said with a straight face, as she returned to look at her mate and let out a huff. Fire had the nerves to accuse her of snoring, she didn’t even snore! How rude of him! If anything, she had to refrain from whacking Fire in the chest when their kits were newborns because they sometimes got startled awake from his loud snores! Thankfully their babies adapted to his loud noises, otherwise it would have been a mess! Feeling the kits within her starting to move, along with a kick, Aurora looked up at him “Look, they even agree!” Aurora said, as Starclan knows how many times the kits within her womb had heard his snores.. Well, might as well get them used to it while they were still inside her. Truly, it was a mystery of who was the loudest at snoring between them.. But although that was his biggest flaw, Fire was still perfect in Aurora’s eyes. Nothing could ever change her mind or view of him, the ginger tom was the tom of her dreams.
Although that view was probably going to change for a temporary amount of time as she spotted that her secret stash of berries were gone. Looking up at Fire, who climbed into the nest and was peering over, she was observing his facial expressions for any lie. Aurora almost believed him, and her mate would have gotten away with it, until she saw the berry juice on his whiskers and frowned. “Fire, lay down with me.” The black and golden molly said, and she watched Fire’s careful expression before the massive Maine Coon moved until settling down beside her. A smirk appeared on her face when the pregnant molly suddenly moved towards him, her rounded stomach pressed against him and she let out a soft purr “Oh Fire, you know how much I love and adore you right?” Aurora began, her violet-amber eyes glinting in mischief. The ginger tom knew how much she loved him, but her little vixen ways were appearing and she knew that Fire was slowly picking up on it as well judging by his facial expressions.
“Kiss me.” She said softly, and saw the look of hesitation on his face. The ginger tom was remaining stubborn, not admitting to eating her berries and her eyes slightly narrowed. Stubborn until the end, Huh? “What’s wrong Love? We always kiss, it’s not like it’s our first time.. Is something wrong?” She teased him, her tail moving to woven with his own and releasing a loud purr when looking at him. Nodding at his question, she soon moved to snuggle into him “Bear is watching the kits, I’ve figured that I could enjoy my little snack and we can rest for a while since we hadn’t had enough sleep.. But my little snack is gone, the kits must have gotten to them.” Aurora said, faking a sigh before moving to look up at him with a grin before her paw went to move towards the back of his head. The black and golden molly noticed that Fire was trying to hold his head back, as he knew what she was about to do. But it wouldn’t work with Aurora, she always got what she wanted with him.
“Come on Love, I want my kiss.” Aurora huffed before she finally was able to move his head towards her, and finally was able to kiss him. A couple of moments later, Aurora pulled back and her paw connected to his chest in a soft whack. “I knew you ate my berries! You couldn’t hide it from me!” Aurora said, grumbling before shifting and turning her back towards him. Would she act childish? Yes. But she couldn’t stay mad at Fire, if her mate was hungry and wanted a snack, it wasn’t his fault. Looking back at her mate and grumbling, Aurora shifted until her rounded stomach was in view as when she turned her back towards him.. It was usually an open invitation for them to cuddle, as she knew her Fire enjoyed cuddling up to his mate.. Didn’t mean that Aurora would still pretend to be mad at him, and he knew it too that she wasn’t actually mad.. Just grumpy.
Firestar
He had hoped that this little meeting would have ended a while ago, but he had to continuously reassure his main warriors that he had everything under control. Many seemed on edge since he demoted Dawnstorm, even more so when he had yet to announce his new deputy. The ginger tabby leader felt he needed to think long and hard before choosing another deputy. As of now he was relying on those he trusted most for counsel--Auroraskies, Wildbear, and Speckledmoss. So far the system has been working well as the large former mountain tom; Bear, had certainly taken the roll of deputy of sorts. Firestar had offered the position to him, but Wildbear had politely refused such a title. Gazing with boredom at the few warriors that remained, eyes hooded with sleep threatening to take over. Last few nights have been tiring to his mind and body as throughout Auroraskies pregnancy has made her more irritable, needy, and emotional. As one moment his mate would be angry with him and the next crying and wanting him to hold her. Not to mention her snoring, which he believed had to be because of her swollen stomach compressing her as she sleeps. Course, when he mentioned to his mate that she at times snored, the black golden Molly would simply become defensive and put the blame onto him.
Inwardly grumbling to himself as he is reminded that he had been rudely awakened several times for his 'snoring'. He had half a mind to rebuttal saying that she more than likely woke herself up from snoring in her sleep, but had smartly refrained. Unbeknown to Firestar that he indeed snored when physically and mentally exhausted, something he will forever deny. Snapping out of his thoughts as he dismisses those still left in his den, concluding another tiresome meeting. Tufted ears perking up instantly as he picked up on the distinctive sound of Auroraskies paws skidding along the bark. His ember and emerald eyes narrowing with caution, as he was unsure which side of Aurora would greet him. Sighing through his nose as one look at her irritable expression is all he needed to know that he was in for it. Keeping his expression neutral as her violet-amber clashed with his, ear twitching as she snaps at the bystanders to leave her den. Slight twitch to his lips as he refrains from smirking, as he could not deny that he did enjoy her bossy attitude or her simply calling their den--hers.
Arching a simple eyebrow as when they were finally alone she turned fully to him with a scowl. "I can see that" he muses. Rising to his full height, remaining where he stood as the two mates look at one another. His gaze flickering down from her face to her pregnant stomach, pride fluttering in his chest as he could not believe that Aurora was once again carrying their kits. "You know how these meetings are: pointless and tedious" Firestar reminds her as he silently watches her make her way to their nest. Her usual graceful movements more sluggish and awkward with having to waddle to accommodate for the extra weight of carrying kits within her womb. Allowing her to get into a comfortable position within the nest does he finally speak; "Did Bear take the kits for a while?" he wondered, even though he was pretty certain on the answer, as Auroraskies could rarely get away from their kits otherwise.
Pausing in midstep at her annoyed tone filtering throughout the den, what did he do now? "Yes?" The large Maine coon hums out as he slowly makes his way towards her once again. Following where she pointed with his gaze, staring blankly at nothing as her secret stash had been compromised. "How am I suppose to know? I did not even know you had berries" he fibs swiftly. That was not a complete lie--he had not known it was her stash. Thinking one of the kits had stolen some, so of course he had helped himself between meetings to keep himself awake for the next one. "I could get you some more? or something else?" he redirects--hoping this would appease her for now.
