[glow=red,2,300]A red and white she-cat jumped steathily on an unsuspecting mouse, ending its life. She smiled, pleased with her catch. She flung it with the rabbit she had also caught. Rosethorn sat down for a rest, and thought maybe, since she was alone, she could think about... Specklestripe. He was so handsome and gallant and... what was that? There was a crackling in the bushes behind her. She jumped up and swung around.[/glow]

Specklestripe had his eyes on his paws. He had been hunting and literally had a DingoClan apprentice run into him on the border. It had been an accident so he didn't worry much about it. Instead his thoughts were on something else, Rosethorn. She was just so... amazing! And beautiful! He sighed. He had never thought he would love again after what had happened with his sister.
His sister! That was another thing, how long, if at all, could he keep his secret away from Rosethorn if they became mates? He shook his head and then jumped through some bushes to find Rosethorn. He started and then smiled crookedly. 'Uh, hi!' He wanted to smack himself, why could he never think of anything to say when she was around?

[glow=red,2,300]"Hello!" Rosethorn said, relaxing the fur on the nape of her neck. She smiled awkwardly. "How are... things..?" The pretty she-cat wondered if he had read her thoughts, but then she realized how mouse-brained she was being.[/glow]

Specklestripe shrugged. 'Fine. Got run over by a DingoClan apprentice over by the border.' He shook his pelt. 'Nothing serious though.' He smiled a little. 'I had been hunting until that happened though. The prey is running well.' He commented, glancing around before looking back at Rosethorn. He found himself once again thinking of all her qualities. He sighed and looked away for a moment impatiently, he didn't like it when he didn't have very good control over himself.

[glow=red,2,300]Rosethorn smiled, recalling last time he had been run over by a kit. [/glow] The prey is running well.' [glow=red,2,300]He had commented. "Yes." She purred. "How are you?" The pretty she-cat asked.[/glow]

Specklestripe nodded. 'Pretty well. How have you been doing?' He looked at her anxiously, as if he feared that she might be ill right then and there and die. He shook the thoughts away, rebuking himself sharply. Don't be a fool Specklestripe. She is fine, you can see that right out.

[glow=red,2,300]"I'm fine." Rosethorn smiled. Especially since you're here.... She thought. She smiled at Specklestripe while her pretty red and white pelt glowed not only with sunlight...... With happiness, too.[/glow]

Specklestripe shifted on his paws. Talk now or you know you never will. He warned himself. He looked at Rosethorn and tried fiercely to put some words together. '[bI...uh... so have you ever thought of having a mate? A family of your own?[/b]' He wasn't sure how else to start it, but that sounded good enough. He waited tensely for Rosethorn to reply, his happiness would depend on her answer.

[glow=red,2,300]"All the time." Rosethorn admitted. "Why do you ask?" She wondered aloud. Are you asking me something I want to hear? The she-cat thought exitedly, her heart pumping wildly, and so loudly she was sure Specklestripe could hear it.[/glow]

Specklestripe shuffled on his paws. 'I, I love you Rosethorn. I'd like you to, to be my mate.' He looked at her earnestly, eyes showing that he was indeed very serious. He loved her very much, and he felt that she returned his love. His heart pounded just as loudly as Rosethorn's as he waited anxiously for her reply.

[glow=red,2,300]Rosethorn said nothing, her mouth open in surprise. This is what she had dreamed about, but the words she had pretended to say were frozen on her tongue. A purr came unexpectedly deep in her throat. Her eyes shone with joy and she forced; "I love you too, Specklestripe." She smiled. [/glow]

Specklestripe let out a sigh and smiled, a purr coming to his throat too. That was it, he had succeeded in getting the words out and he had what he had wanted so badly. He would have a family now, he could have kits to be proud of and a mate to care for. He had envied the toms he had seen bringing fresh kill to their she-cats in the nursery and just spending time together. He had long been envious of them but had never thought that he would have the pleasure that they had, but now he did, and to tell the truth he couldn't have been happier. His eyes showed all of this as he stood, not knowing what to say in the least, just staring at Rosethorn.

[glow=red,2,300]Rosethorn smiled and gazed at Specklestripe, happy that she no more had to mask her love. "Oh, Specklestripe.." She mewed happily. "I thought you'd never say that." Purring, Rosethorn rubbed against Specklestripe's pelt. [/glow]

Specklestripe grinned sheepishly. 'I wasn't sure if I would either. I'm not the best at making my feelings into words.' He chuckled and licked Rosethorn lovingly on the cheek. It was true enough, he had a hard time telling someone that he was head over heels for them, it was just something that he rarely felt to begin with. Ask him to put something that he rarely felt into words and he was like a fish out of water. 'I'm glad that I did though.' He purred back to her.

[glow=red,2,300]"Me, too." Rosethorn purred. She thought how silly she had been over him and smiled, looking into his eyes and never wanting this moment to end.[/glow]
