Falling Feathers - CrowxFeather AU
Chapter One, Part Two
~~~~~~~~~
“Hello!” Mewed Barkface, who was just now entering the medicine den. Kestrelflight wasn’t far behind. Crowfeather groaned silently. “Is it time for Feathertail to have the herbs?” He asked with a hint of disappointment in his eyes. As Barkface restocked the herbs, he shook his head. “No, just returning from a mornings herb collecting. I should go help Kestrelflight with the injured cats now,” He meowed. “And I’ll leave you two alone,” he added, with an envious glint in his eyes. Crowfeathers fur bristled slightly as his skin grew hot and he started blushing. Barkface though they really had something! Crowfeather saw Feathertail as a very close friend, but he couldn’t say the same about Feathertail. Perhaps she saw him as something… more? He pushed the thought away. “I’ll be right back,” the tom said, then padding out of the medicine den and into the open clearing. He walked over to the fresh kill pile and picked up a large hare for him and Feathertail to share, still remembering that glint in Barkfaces eyes. He knew medicine cats were forbidden to have mates, so Crowfeather didn’t wonder why he had that glint. Again, pushing the thought out of his head, and padding back to the medicine den. “Do you want to share this?” He asked, dropping the hare. Feathertail nodded. “Oh, yes! I’ve been starving all morning and Barkface was too busy taking care of the other cats, and I can’t leave the medicine den without someone to support me!” Prodding a paw at the prey, Crowfeather mewed, “You can take the first bite. You’re probably more hungry than me,” he said. Feathertail nodded gratefully and took a large bit out of the prey. Crowfeather then took his bite, and they repeated the process until the hare was gone. Stifling a burp, Crowfeather licked his whiskers and saw Kestrelflight padding into the current room they where in. He reached for the poppy, and Crowfeather immediately stood up, and flatly mewed, “I’ll go now.” Kestrelflight nodded in approval, and as Crowfeather left, he could hear Feathertail saying awwww as Crowfeather left. He chuckled, thinking it was cute how she reacted. But with a sorrowful pang, he remembered that they were from different Clans. How could they see each other, or even be together? Crowfeather wondered. He didn’t know what to do, so he headed into the spare den used for the warriors nests and tucked his paws under his chest in a comfortable loaf sit. He felt something strange for the she-cat, but assumed it would pass quickly. After all, he only saw her as very, very Close friend. And… nothing more, right?
