He paced back and forth around the camp, eyes wide, deep in thought. He looked disturbed. Newleaf was here and with it, the forest was coming back to life. He should be happy. Joyful. Relieved. But no, the anxiety he felt was nothing like he'd ever felt before. White paws were starting to leave a rut in the mud as he paced. His fur was puffed, and tunnel vision kept him from acknowledging any other cats around him.
He couldn't stop thinking about his interaction with that thunderclanner at their border. Why was he so worked up about it? There was no reason for it. Was he guessing wrong- Was it really the near death experience with the monster that he was upset over? ......No. That wasn't it. He was bent over Stumpybounce who had pinned him down for accidentally trespassing.
But why? All he did was say Frostbite had nice eyes. Why was he in such a tizzy over a simple compliment???
He was losing his mind. His pace was quickening as he tried to work through this feeling. It was just a compliment.
He always reacted nervously when complimented. He would shuffle, start feeling awkward. Sometimes even excusing himself from the conversation. But this time? He was in a full blown near panic. All because of a simple compliment. What the hell was wrong with him.
His pacing was cut short as he bumped right into another clanmate.
"S-sorry-"
Oh, he was stuttering now? What the fuck was that.
"I was thinking and wasn't watching where I was going."
