Not some average bones, I believe in love!

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ⟡ Padding around the edge of camp, Torrentpaw's eyes were bright as he sought out a certain fluffy white tom. He couldn't help but notice the tom slink away after the apprentice ceremony, though it wasn't unusual for Spooky to do so.

Picking up in speed as he spotted a flash of white through a couple of reeds, Torrentpaw slowed to a halt before sticking his head through the plants, whiskers twitching as he briskly shook them out of his face. "Found you!" He meowed, before leaping out of the reeds and landing beside the sitting tom. Circling around to his other side, Torrentpaw leaned back onto his haunches as his gaze fell onto the small stream that surrounded their camp below his paws.

Looking back over Spooky, Torrentpaw eyed him thoughtfully for a moment. Of course he had noticed the tom's reaction at the ceremony prior, but he wasn't going to admit it to him. After all, Spooky might not be comfortable sharing his feelings, that was up to him to decide.

"What are you thinking about?" Torrentpaw asked, voice full of friendliness and sincerity as he gazed at the cat he considered to be his friend, despite their lack of conversations.

SPOOKY

Just close your eyes, the sun is going down... You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now

Spooky was practicing his... well, speech... If you could call it that. Ever since the meeting, he'd been a bundle of nerves, jittery and uncertain. He needed some kind of grounding, even if it only came from himself. So he'd taken to speaking aloud, trying to gather his thoughts into something that made sense. Maybe if he rehearsed, he'd finally feel less like a fish out of water. But then, Torrentpaw had found him. He nearly jumped out of his fur. A startled squeak escaped him as he sprang to his paws, wide-eyed and flustered. " T-Torrentpaw! " he stammered, his tail lashing behind him as he tried to settle the fur rising along his spine.

The moment she asked what he was thinking about, Spooky practically short-circuited.

" W-Well… I was thinking… um… " He shifted his paws, clearly struggling to find the right words. " About… being better? " he finally blurted, voice pitching upward uncertainly. " I mean... Not that I think I'm terrible! Just- uh... I mean.... Thinking about how well everyone else did! And that maybe it'd be amazing if I could, too. "

He glanced at him then, ears slowly drooping as his voice dropped to a whisper. " I just… I don't think I'll ever be as brave as any of you… "
