Heatherpetal
Windclan Queen
A small hum escaped her, her periwinkle gaze looking back at her kits who were safely snuggled into hers and Startledcrow’s nest as Blackfire was urging Heatherpetal to enjoy her time outside with a look on smoky tabby’s face. Heatherpetal had been the one who asked Startledcrow out on a date, who said yes without hesitation. The two had been very busy as of lately with raising their kits along with Startledcrow assisting Littlewoods in a cold outbreak that’s happened recently. Unfortunately, Antkit and Cricketkit had ended up sneezing and sniffling that Heatherpetal was ready to reschedule their date, but Startledcrow had been so excited that she couldn’t refuse that for her mate.. The dark tabby was Heatherpetal’s heart and soul and physical form, the reasoning for her existence.
Heatherpetal’s love for Startledcrow was so deep that it was also probably unhealthy.
Heatherpetal’s eyes narrowed slightly as she looked towards Startledcrow. She kept her eye on him like a hawk, the small rose-gold molly was surprised how he managed to slip away from her a couple of times. “I’m excited to treat you to something special, my Crow.. You need to be loved and pampered.” Heatherpetal said, leaning up to kiss his muzzle while her tail moved to his hip to bring him closer securely. To feel Startledcrow’s pelt brushing against her still made her heart face, which caused her to blush. Parenthood hadn’t changed their love for each other. Stars, even when Heatherpetal’s body had become more fuller after her first pregnancy, Startledcrow grabbed at her when she was expressing her insecurities and stated that she was so incredibly perfect to him.
She had been planning this little lake date since the weather started getting warmer, the small rose-gold molly had gotten up early to make a nest for them over there while gathering every flower she could think of. Remembering a couple of games that the mountain cats had during their journey to Grizzly’s tribe and placing them near the nest. This little date night would be for themselves, a night without kits or Littlewoods waking up Startledcrow in the middle of the night so they could check on patients. “Remember the day that we first properly spoke after a while? You told me to buzz off but I had to sit on you to eat that rabbit.” Heatherpetal remembered fondly with a tease as the two of them had left the camp and going towards the direction of the Docks.

Delicate florals overwhelmed his senses but Heatherpetal naturally gravitated towards florals, they helped perk her up on a difficult day so he did not dare tell her. Breathing in slowly as she leaned towards him, leaning in to brush his nose against the soft velvet petals of the rose that Heatherpetal had placed behind her ear. Humming softly as he used his snout to adjust the rose so that the thorns were weaved into her thick fur, keeping it steady. Dark ears standing upright as she began to speak, causing him to smile softly. Of course she had felt that way, simply because of his heartbreak with Willowfur. Leaning forward to gently rub his cheek against Heatherpetal’s as she confirmed the love that she had for him. Breathing in slowly before he chuckled and slowly lapped at her forehead. “You came into my life at a very difficult time for me.” He breathed out slowly, his pupil-less blue opal eyes gazing in her direction as he found himself smiling tenderly. “I promise to listen to your advice, even if I don’t always take it. I promise to leave the score chat behind, even if I’m winning.” He chuckled.
“As your mate, I promise to listen for as long as it takes for you to feel heard. I promise to take care of your kind heart and to always love you with all of mine, Heatherpetal.” He purred softly, shifting to where he tenderly pressed his snout against Heatherpetal’s. “I’ll look to you. With this renewal, I vow to always protect you from harm. To stand with you against your troubles.” Nodding his head and purring softly. “And look to you when I need protection. Love isn’t a poem, you are loved more than anything can ever try to express. I promise to not only listen but to hear.” Tail twitching slightly as he lightly dragged his tail over her side. “I will never ever lose sight of us, Heatherpetal. To love you even in death.”
Leaning in to press their foreheads together, nostrils flaring to breathe in her scent while his whiskers trembled. “I love you.”

A large smile appeared on her face when looking up at her mate, a loud purr escaping the small rose gold molly while her tail fluffed up in excitement. Heatherpetal was hoping that Startledcrow would agree to it. Moving towards the red rose that had rested nearby his black rose, she placed it gently at the side of her head. Lowering her head to let the dark tabby sniff it, she felt Startledcrow adjusting it until he deemed it perfect. Her eyes widened slightly when looking up at him. Startledcrow was the same breathtaking tom that she had been in love with so long, that her heart was beating fast at the sight of him from the moment that she woke up to falling asleep with him.
Clearing her throat slightly, a nervous chuckle escaped her and shook her head “At the start, I thought you didn’t want anything to do with me.. Which I understood why, you were going through a tough time and I wanted you to see that I never saw you as an outsider.. But someone that I cared about since I was too young to remember.” Heatherpetal said softly to him, remembering that it was Startledcrow who had carried her out as a newborn kit when Goldenrose had given birth to her litter in a ditch, along with Startledcrow giving her a flower petal when she was a kit. “I will always cheer for you the loudest during your accomplishments, and hold you the closest during your disappointments.”
“I love you so much that barely a day without you feels like hell, I can’t be away from you.” Heatherpetal confessed to Startledcrow, her eyes glistening in tears as she moved to caress his cheek with such gentleness and love that she felt like it was such an intimate moment between the two mates. “Every day is a new adventure with you, with our babies, with our family.” Heatherpetal smiled fondly at the thought of the life that herself and Startledcrow had created together and it was honestly the dream life that she had always wanted since growing up. It was her life purpose to be a mate and mother. “I love every single inch of you, from head to toe.. To every single scar, heatbeat and your soul”
“I will always choose you in this lifetime and every other lifetime, love you as fiercely and protect you with my entire life.. I became the luckiest female when you asked me to become your mate.. You are my entire world”

Smirking softly, he enjoyed the feeling of Heatherpetal’s lips on his, breathing in slowly as her scent surrounded his sense. “You love my snoring, don’t even deny it.” Tail tip twitching slightly as he walked with her, grunting as she pulled him closer so he could avoid an unexpected dip in the ground. Nostrils flaring as he could scent floral in the area, his blind eyes moving around to try and locate the nest. Clicking his tongue, he breathed in deeply and purred. Finally a scent other than cold ice and snow. “Roses and sweet cherry blossoms.” He purred, beginning to walk towards the soft nest she had prepared with her prompting. “It’s nice to get away from the kits. I love them but you needed some room to breathe.” He chuckled, laying down.
Laying down, he rested back against the edge of the nest before he felt his mate finally lay down beside him, leaning to drape his tongue over her shoulder and back to keep her relaxed. “My paw touched something as I went to lay down. What all have you got out?” Startledcrow asked curiously, his ears flattening against the top of is head when she admitted that there was something she wanted to speak about. “Oh?” He wondered curiously. Feeling her small paws placed on top of his, whiskers twitching at the feeling of her tail laying over their paws. Kissing her cheek gently, he kept his muzzle pressed to her cheek, eyes closing before he felt her shifting.
Lifting his chin, he felt his mate combing something into his thick chest fur, mouth parting as he breathed in the scent of a strange smelling nose, deciding it was dark in color. Ears perking and brows rising in surprise, he chuckled and nodded, licking the top of her head. “I would love to renew out vows.” Rubbing his cheek against hers.

Letting out a soft hum, a smirk appeared on her face when looking up at her mate with such a gentle expression within her periwinkle eyes. Leaning up to kiss his lips “You’re still cranky as ever, also you snore so loudly.. But I find it cute when you speak in your sleep.” The rose-gold molly teased, leaving a nip on his neck and pulling him in closer. Heatherpetal still remained a cheeky female around her mate, that wouldn’t change. Her heart beat had suddenly quickened at the sight of the nest that rested nearby the lake, biting the inside of her cheek. The smaller molly had spent the entire morning planning this, Heatherpetal had thought about this moment since giving birth to their second litter.. Although they had been together for two years, it felt like both of them had spent an entire lifetime together. The area around the nest was beautiful, glowing cherry blossoms surrounding them, with beautiful rose petals in their nest.
Heatherpetal let out a nervous chuckle when turning towards him.
“I wanted us to have a moment away from the children, to enjoy some time to ourselves and just.. Be with each other.” Heatherpetal began, starting to nudge her mate with her muzzle against his side to lead him towards the nest. A couple of board games from the mountain cats were nearby, along with a rabbit incase Startledcrow had gotten hungry during their little stay here. It was a secluded part of the lake, so no one would disturb them for this special moment. Looking down at herself, Heatherpetal wanted to make sure that she was neatly groomed.. Her Crow couldn’t see her, but he could see and feel and smell her!
“There’s a reason why I brought you here, it’s been something I’ve been wanting to do since our little bugs were born.” Heatherpetal chuckled, as she loved her little bug litter just as much as her bird litter. The greatest gift that she received in life were Startledcrow and their kits, nothing could ever change their mind. Both of them sat in the nest for a moment, her smaller paws moving to rest on the dark tabby’s paws and her feathery tail rested on both of their paws incase they both had gotten cold.. But on the look of Startledcrow’s face, Heatherpetal had a small smile on her face, was he blushing? Moving to the black rose that she collected earlier and took off most of the steam, she allowed him to sniff it before Heatherpetal began carefully wovening the stem into Startledcrow’s fur as it rested on his chest in the form of a little tie.
“I want to renew our vows.”

Since the birth of his newest litter, both himself and Heatherpetal hadn’t been able to have a moment to each other. But tonight they were finally gonna have a moment to get away with Blackfire looking after their kittens. Antkit and Cricketkit had started sniffling and sneezing but Littlewoods had been quick to treat the kittens. He wasn’t necessarily worried but Heatherpetal was right to be cautious. Rasping his tongue over his chest to flatten the dark grey tabby fur. Having taken the time to give himself a nice bath, he was eager to take a nice walk in the evening sun. Lowering his head, the tall dark tabby tom felt his ears brushing up against the roof of the nursery as his nostrils flared to pinpoint where Heatherpetal was sitting. “Come along, flower. We won’t be gone for too long.” He promised so that she didn’t stress herself out. Tonight was supposed to be about relaxing and letting out steam.
Stepping back out of the den, his clouded blue pearls were roaming around the camp as he listened to other felines talk while Heatherpetal followed him out of the nursery. Smirking to himself when she walked up to him and pressed a kiss to his muzzle. “I am not the only one who deserves to be loved and pampered. You’ve been stressed.” He meowed matter of fact, walking out of camp with his mate in tow. Tall dark striped tail twining with her feathery golden tail. Keep close to her as they walked, his pelt brushing against hers with a hum.
Nose in the air, the tomcat could tell just from the scent alone that they were nearing the lake, his fur prickling slightly. But the smell of the lake was quickly masked from all the flowers that Heatherpetal had packed into the nest. Smiling to himself as he walked with his mate, nodding his head. “I certainly do. You are somehow even more annoying than before.” He chuckled teasingly, bumping his shoulder against hers.
