A {Thorn}y {Rose}

[Deleted]

Rose could feel her own fur get hot as she blushed, looking down to her paws. "Oh...thanks.." She murmured, about to shake her fur to get rid of it before he padded over and nudged it. And his next few words made her stomach flip flop, which she didn't understand. Why did he make her feel like this? "It does...?" She asked slowly, looking up to him as he was a mere few inches away from her, their eyes meeting for a brief second.

Trying To Understand

"Yeah, it really does" he mewed softly. His green eyes locked with her blue ones and a combination of emotions made his stomach crawl. Thorn shouldn't have been feeling this way. It made him feel dirty. His thoughts would trail from Tara and back to the she-cat standing right in front of him. He looked away from her, at the spring, feeling very troubled. He flicked his tail toward it. "I never knew this existed. It's pretty beautiful," he mewed, not looking back at Rose.

Rose frowned, looking down to her paws. Never had she felt so....unwanted. And by someone she might actually have real feelings for. It hurt. It really hurt. "Yeah...it's a little difficult to find, buried back here for no one to see..." She murmured in response, not looking up to him. It kinda replied to herself what she was saying. This was a different side to her that she usually didn't show to anyone....but for some reason it came out around him. But she didn't want to put him through this, he didn't want to be here. "You should go back to Tara. I can see you want to." She said quietly, glancing to him with unhappy eyes. "Sorry to ask you out here, she's probably wondering where you are.." She turned away from him, ready to pad away from him and the spring.

Tempting From The Darkness

Thorn hesitated, biting his lip. It was only half true. He did want to go back to Tara, to be with her, but he also had a strong desire to stay. He felt like the opposide wishes were tearing him in half. He took a step after Rose. "Wait," he called out, shortening the distance between them and rounding in front of her. "I- I want to stay. Tara won't be missing me for a while, yet." Thorn hardly knew what he was saying. He couldn't control his words, but so far that wasn't such a bad thing.

Rose's ears twitched, she couldn't believe his response either. She was about to turn her head to look back at him when she felt him get in front of her and as she turned back to look straight at him, she stopped suddenly as their noses touched. "You...want to stay here...." She murmured as if she couldn't believe it, looking up to him with curious, bright blue eyes.

Seeing Through The Mask

Thorn nodded, eager but curt at the same time. "Yes, I do. It's... Nice, being around you." He smiled softly, only his eyes slightly revealing a tad bit of his lost feeling. But as they looked into hers the tabby felt himself relax. Maybe this wasn't so wrong as he'd thought. After all, could something so enticingly wondrous be bad?

[Deleted]

Rose slowly smiled, a soft and sweet purr coming from her as he said this. As he looked to her, she hesitated a minute before dropping her head and nuzzling his neck softly, loving the way his fur felt on hers. She stopped a minute, pulling back. "...I...is that okay...?" She asked hesitantly, tail flickering behind her.

Don't Slip Away

When her fur met his as she nuzzled his neck, Thorn was overcome by a wave of calm content. Her fur was so soft and sweet-smelling. He could feel her warmth against his skin like a warm sunny day. But when Rose pulled away, the grey tabby almost frowned with displeasure. "It's more than okay," he murmured, stretching out with his neck so that he could nuzzle her in return, his green eyes slightly narrowed happily as he smiled.

[Deleted]

Rose's smile grew and eyes brightened as he did this. She moved closer to him, running her body along side his, tail trailing across his cheek to his shoulder. "Thorn..." She purred his name melodiously, turning around and rubbing against his side, nuzzling his neck under his chin. Her tail intertwined with his, closing her eyes and relaxing as she breathed in his scent. Strong...secure...self-assuring scent...

New Faces

He closed his eyes for a moment, enjoying just being there, with her, the scent of poppies still on her fur making it rather intoxicating. "Rose," he purred in return. The name sounded good on his tongue. The tabby entwined his tail with hers when it reached out. Thorn's mind had left Tara far behind. Now it was all about this moment. "You're really something," he mewed, opening his green eyes to look at her fur, such a bold contrast to the fur of the she-cat he had called 'mate' only earlier that day.

[Deleted]

Rose smiled, looking up to him with those bold blue eyes of hers that stood out so much against her pale, creamy white fur. "You're not so bad yourself." She purred, licking his cheek affectionately as her eyes stayed lost in his green ones. She finally had to admit it to herself. She really loved this tom, everything about him interested her and kept her wanting to be with him. Rose's face was lit with happiness, pressing against him because she never wanted to leave his side.

OOC: I completely forgot about this board! xP

If Love Could Be Twisted

Thorn blinked softly, a rumbling purr coming from his throat. He felt that he could safely ignore the little nudge from the back of his mind telling him to stop feeling so good about the whole thing. The tabby was high on her scent; it made everthing else fade away. I really like her... The same way I feel about Tara. If not more. Is it possible to love two she-cats? He chose to ignore his own thought. "Rose, I..." He stopped, then glancing up at the sun. Had time really gone by so quickly without his knowing? Tara would start to wonder. "I have to go." His mew was strangely heavy and sad, as if he didn't want to go.

[Deleted]

Ooc: I was going to ask....but I forgot too lol.

Rose nuzzled his neck gently, but frowned as he soon started to pull away. She didn't want him to go either, she had never felt this way about any tom before. They were all playthings to her, but this tom seemed to have got her interest and held it. She frowned, watching him unhappily. "Alright...." She moved forward and licked his cheek sweetly. "You know where to find me."

Don't Say Goodbye

Thorn smiled as she licked his cheek. It just made him want to stay more. "I sure do," he murmured, pressing his nose to hers. He remembered when he had first met Rose in the same poppy fields. The grey tabby had just marked her off as trouble and rude, especially to Tara. How could he have been so wrong? Or was this the real side of her that he hadn't seen? "It won't be that long." He gave her cheek a quick lick, then turned to run off back through the poppies toward his home by the river.
