Love is just a cloudy sky as far as I can see
⤝ ⥈ ⥈ ☁ ⥈ ⥈ ⤞

Cloudflare padded through the entrance into camp, his paws slightly heavy with exhaustion but his spirits high. Clutched in his jaws were the spoils of his hunt from the West Treeline: a mealy mouse and a bright red cardinal, the latter having been a tricky catch. The bird had put up quite the chase, flitting between branches and darting through the underbrush before he'd finally managed to leap and snag it mid-flight.

As he entered the camp, the sun was high in the sky, offering some warmth despite the chill in the air. He made his way to the fresh-kill pile and dropped his catch, feeling a sense of satisfaction at the sight of the vibrant cardinal against the earth-toned prey pile. 

With his duties on pause, Cloudflare gave a small stretch, shaking out his tired limbs. His legs felt the ache from all the running and pouncing, but it was a good kind of tired - the sort that came from a successful day. All he wanted now was a quiet spot to relax, maybe see how Aspenberry's day was going so far.

He cast a glance around the camp, looking for her familiar face. Spotting a sunny area near the Talking Cliff, he padded over and settled down with a contented sigh, his tail curling around his paws.

It was at this sunny area of camp that Aspenberry was found. She was due for dusk patrol later on, and was taking the time to snooze in the sun while she could. The sunlight was weak and felt like nothing compared to the experience of greenleaf, but she was grateful for it nonetheless. A deep sleep is what Aspenberry had been in, savouring the light while it lasted. She was lain out on her side, though her head rested on top of her white paws, eyes shut and unmoving.

It was only until Cloudflare was beside her that her senses began registering, her eyes fluttered open to see the red pelt of her friend. Sun made Aspenberry sleepy, and she was still half asleep, so instead of waking up she reached out a paw, attempting to drag Cloudflare in beside her as she mumbled something about sun and sleep.

Cloudflare let out a soft chuckle as Aspenberry’s paw gently reached out to pull him closer. Her half-asleep mumbling and relaxed demeanor made it hard to resist. He settled down beside her, tucking his large frame in so as not to disturb her too much. The warmth of her fur and the lingering sunlight made the moment even more peaceful.

“You’ve got the right idea.” Came his hushed whisper, voice really just for her, his tone light as he rested his head on his paws, feeling the tug of fatigue from his earlier hunt. The tom, eyes half lidded, swiped his tongue over Aspenberry's ears.

Cloudflare stretched his limbs out lazily, allowing the quiet of the camp and the company of his friend to settle over him. It was rare that they got moments like this - to simply relax without a care in the world. He closed his eyes, letting himself unwind beside Aspenberry, enjoying the simple comfort of their shared warmth and the sun's rays.

She was glad Cloudflare gave into her pull, settling down beside her. The fur of another cat was exactly the sort of extra comfort she needed. She could feel herself drifting off already, but she didn't want to completely ignore the bicolour tom. Building up some strength she lifted her head up to rest her chin and head over Cloudflare's neck, snuggling a little into the soft, downy fur of his scruff. 

'I miss when I could do this whenever... it's too cold nowdays, and I'm always so busy too.' She murmured, before taking the time to flatten some of Cloudflare's fur with rhythmic licks, although she quickly gave up as the sleepiness washed over her again.

Cloudflare smiled softly as Aspenberry nestled into his fur, her warmth seeping into his skin. He let out a low, contented purr as she rested her chin on his neck. The gentle rise and fall of her breathing was comforting, and it reminded him of simpler times when they weren’t so weighed down by their duties.

Her murmur about missing these moments made him pause, his gaze softening as he thought back to their easier days. "Yeah." He agreed quietly, his voice barely above a whisper. "I miss it too. Seems like we’re always on the go now... but we can still find moments like this."

As she began grooming him, even if only briefly, he felt a sense of calm wash over him. He knew Aspenberry well enough to recognize when sleep was pulling her in, and he didn’t mind. Letting his own eyes flutter closed, Cloudflare sighed softly, savoring the peacefulness that had settled between them.

"Let's rest easy." He whispered, his voice barely a breath as he relaxed fully beside her, the weight of their responsibilities lifting just for this quiet moment together. Poor Fallpaw must have been running the deputy ragged this past moon.

Was she super tired or just taking advantage of a nice opportunity to rest, Aspenberry wasn't really sure. Her role as deputy along with mentoring Fallpaw was taxing, but nothing Aspenberry found debilitating, and she still had her own personal time too. Perhaps it was just the bad weather, or maybe she just had a really bad sleep last night. Either way, she was quick to fall drowsy again as she rested against the warm body of Coudflare, a closeness she didn't share with him all too often. 

'One day we will be old and retired, then we can do this everyday. For now it's up to us to take care of everyone else' she said quietly, that conflict she always battled bubbling up inside her yet again, but she pushed it away. She wouldn't ruin this moment. She would live in the now and not dread and long for the future simultaneously. 'Rest easy...? Mmmm, alright if you say so' she replied just as quietly.

Cloudflare’s purr deepened as Aspenberry nestled against him, her warmth providing a sense of comfort that had become rare in their busy lives. He could feel the subtle weight of her words and he respected her for pushing through it all.

Her quiet musing about them one day retiring together brought a small, soft smile to his face. He didn’t often think about the distant future, but Aspenberry’s words made the idea seem - nice. His voice a low murmur, almost like a promise. "You and I."

His tail gently draped over her as he shifted slightly to get more comfortable, a sign that he wasn’t planning to move anytime soon. He knew they’d both wake up soon enough to the demands of their duties, but for now, they'd sunbathe while they still could.

"I say so..." He purred with a playful note, his tone soft but teasing as he let his eyes close again. "And I don’t make the rules often, but when I do, they’re usually good ones." Cloudflare let out a contented sigh, his muscles relaxing fully against Aspenberry’s frame.

As Aspenberry lay there, half asleep and snoozing, her thoughts drifted to something unexpected. She was comfortable right now, in a place where she could speak her thoughts freely without much anxiety. She peeked an eye open, looking at Cloudflare once more before she considered her next words. 

'Cloudflare... I know this is random and perhaps uncharacteristic, but... what would you think of starting a family? It's not something I want right now, but I thought that maybe you would be interested when the time is right.' Seeing Beewhisker with their kits had stirred something deep within the spotted she-cat, and while she had no idea when she would actually want this, she wanted to know if Cloudflare did too. It was an easy choice. He would be a loving father, and any kin of his would turn out wonderful. He was one of Aspenberry's best friends too. 

She turned her head away with a soft laugh, hoping she hadn't surprised her friend too much. She just wanted to put it out in the air, get an idea of what it might be like.

Cloudflare's purr remained steady as Aspenberry's words drifted through the comfortable haze of half-sleep. Her question, soft and unexpected, blended into his dreamy state, and for a moment, it felt like part of a pleasant dream - one filled with warmth, sunlight, and peace.

His mind conjured images of little kits tumbling across the moor, their laughter mixing with the rustling mossballs. Aspenberry was there, always close by, her sharp gaze softened with affection. And he... he was there too. Watching over them all, content and full of love. It felt like an extension of the perfect calm they shared now.

A lazy smile spread across his face as he murmured, voice thick with that half-dozed contentment. "A family... you and me, our kits... sounds like a dream come true."His tone was wistful...distant. As if he were still caught in that serene vision.
"One day... when the time is right, I’d like that."

His voice was soft, almost like he was speaking to the dream more than to her, but a single eye peeked out at her with a smile. "Whenever you're ready. I'll support whatever decision you make..."

Hearing Cloudflare's response sent a surge of warmth through Aspenberry's body. It was exactly what she wanted to hear. 'Would you be willing to share the caretaking? With my duties I think an active sire would be good, plus they will be yours just as much as they are mine. If these kits ever come to the world I want them to have a father who is completely part of their life.' She felt as though she knew Cloudflare well enough that he would absolutely say yes. Other than loving them unconditionally, being apart of their lives was the only thing Aspenberry would request of a sire, and she knew Cloudflare would provide. 

'Thank you, Cloudflare. It's really nice to have your support' she said softly as her smile grew the tiniest bit wider.

Cloudflare's smile grew as Aspenberry’s words reached him, the warmth in her voice settling deep in his chest. The dreamy fog that had been surrounding him faded a little as the reality of her request sank in. His eyes opened fully, soft and attentive as he met her gaze.

"Of course" He replied gently, his tone steady and sincere. "I wouldn’t want it any other way. If we bring kits into this world, I’ll be right there..." His heart swelled at the thought of being an active, present father, a role he hadn't fully considered until very recently, perhaps spurred by Brightmaple and Beewhisker.

He brushed his nose softly against her flank in a gesture of reassurance, his purr resonating between them. "Hey... Thank you." The gratitude was evident in his voice. "For trusting me with this... and for wanting me to be part of it." His tail curled around hers.

While the reality of her unusual request sunk in, nothing changed for Aspenberry. It was simply a discussion, preparing for the future. When the time came, she didn't want it to be a shock, she wanted to give Cloudflare, and even herself, the time to think. Having a litter would come with its sacrifices. She would have to step down from her position for a while, and perhaps even have Fallpaw trained by another. There was no guarantee she would be alive during the next leafbare, and she had now realised that kits were something she did want. It hadn't crossed her mind before, but now that it had, the decision was set in stone. 'I wouldn't choose anyone else, I couldn't. You've aways been there for me, and as one of my closest friends, it would be a honour to share something like this with you, although we both might not have any idea what we are doing...' she added with a laugh. Well yes, she was inexperienced, there were plently of cats around to help her. She would not make the same mistakes as Beewhisker either. There would be no early births! 'Brightmaple and Beewhisker will be there to help. Rooknose too, he practically raised me.' Just as he had done, Aspenberry cured her own tail around Cloudflare's, a small, interlinked symbol of a newfound connection between the two felines.

Cloudflare’s gaze softened as Aspenberry spoke, the depth of her words settling into him like the warm sunlight on his fur. Her openness was grounding, and he felt his own conviction strengthening. This wasn’t just some idle conversation...It was a step towards a future that neither of them had anticipated, yet it felt natural.

At her laugh, he couldn’t help but chuckle softly, a spark of shared excitement lighting his eyes. "You're right - neither of us really knows what we're doing, but that’s okay. I think... I think we’ll be alright. We have each other. And the Clan." Maybe Rooknose would even give him some fatherly advice whether he wanted it or not.

He let out a long, contented sigh, leaning into Aspenberry just a bit more. "And if Rooknose raised you well, then I’d say we’re in good paws." His voice held a gentle, playful lilt, but his gaze on her was tender, touched by the trust she’d placed in him. The feeling of their tails interlaced felt like a quiet, yet powerful promise.
