Tuftedtusk was in the clearing, drawing his tongue over his pelt slowly. He had been thinking lately.. about Owlthroat. He was handsome, driven and he just enjoyed his company. He knew why he felt like he was more than a friend.. he loved owl. Like a mate would. He wanted to be with the tom. To protect him. Love him. Have owl be
his and only his.

Noticing his gaze wandering the clearing trying to spot the tom he loved, he would swallow nervously. He hoped Owl even felt the same. If he didn't, Tufted would simply act okay even if deep down he wasnt. If he did share these feelings... tufted would never let the tom go.

Owlthroat found himself wandering from the warriors den, not entirely sure why until his gaze rested on Tuftedtusk. What a pleasant surprise, he’d found himself growing fonder of the tom. From snickering together about Riverclan’s defeat, to patrolling. His company was just pleasant, it seemed soothing, an unfamiliar feeling.

Most cats rubbed him the wrong way, as he did them. Likemindedness was something rare, something to be cherished. ”Tuft, how are you friend?” It wasn’t long before he closed the distance between the two, lowering his haunches and curling his thick tail around his blackened paws. The air felt thick with magnetism, why did he come out here on a whim.

Perhaps Starclan was pulling some strings.

The tom looked up to see Owlthroat approaching him and when the tom sat, a rumbling purr rose in his chest. "I'm well.. but I have been thinking about something. I was wondering if I could speak to you about it?"

He decided he would act as if he was in love with a random tom to gauge Owlthroat's reaction and then tell him it was him in the end. Maybe that would help him see how the tom felt about him.

Shuffling his feet the tom awkwardly repositioned, he hoped this wasn’t an ask for advice. He might stumble out with the wrong thing, put his paws in his mouth. But ego triumphed once more, of course he’d help, he was the greatest.

”Of course”, Owlthroat chuckled. ”I’m surprised you’d ask me, I'll tell you rip em to shreds if they’ve done you wrong.” At this point he’d rip someone to shreds himself for Tuftedtusk, there was loyalty there. A sense of responsibility to protect those that stayed close by.

It was nice to let a softer side show through, typically only reserved for perhaps his brother and former apprentice. But it twinged at him that it felt different to that. Uncomfortably so, eating away at him, refusal to admit. To give in.
