private If for a moment ( grapejuice )

[DogTeeth]

Dogteeth's muzzle is pulled in a tiny frown where he sits, his limbs quivering a bit but not from cold but out of slight nervous anxiety. He hadn't gotten much sleep, he feels surrounded by strangers, and the tensions of the night are all he can feel. Like muscles wound too tight, The moggy looks around, eyes so blue and rattled so easily by his emotions he almost looks a bit teary. He could feel his lower lids hot and red, perhaps allergies- perhaps just, tired.

He's startled out of his little space-out, pulled to reality as a familiar voice chimes with his name. A coat of blue bounding over to him, familiar and warm despite the river and stones to divide their lives. Dogteeth's frown immidiately splits into a smile, tired hooded eyes twinkling just a bit brighter at the sight of what he would mentally dub his Sky-friend. " Grapejuice! " he feels his voice crack a bit, perhaps it's the pollen. " you look dashing tonight " Dogteeth mrrows with a purr, wincing a bit as he realizes that could easily be a flirtatious remark.

The tom was pulling something from the fabric of his neckware, Dogteeth's brows knit with concern. Then, a brilliant blossom is displayed before him in the maw of the Skyclan warrior- red, scarlet petals that gleam deep like warm moonlit blood. The Riverclanner blinks rapidly, speechless, lashes fluttering up and down. I got you a flower!

" I-…. I " he's flustered, feels his cheeks grow impossibly hot and a nervous laugh breathes out from him. " no-ones ever… got me a rose before " Dogteeth finally whispers, looking around a bit anxiously before pushing his nose forth to sniff the flower. The rich perfumes sing from the king of florals. " They don't even grow by the river! " he chirps next and aims to touch his nose to Grapejuice's cheek gently to thank him. " you're so sweet… I- … I gotta bring you something next-… if…" he's still flustered, chuckles nervously again.

[Grapejuice]

He felt so warm inside, he thought he might explode. He was getting the hang of this romance thing! The joy he felt when Dogteeth accepted the rose.... He thought his heart might just flutter out of his chest.

"Someone happened to bring some back to camp and I....Thought of you!" He said. He wasn't sure where roses grew naturally. He's only ever seen them in gardens, taken care of by twolegs. He'd seen them in different colors, but red seemed to be most popular among the twolegs. Who could blame them? Rose red was such a passionate shade, rivalled only by blood in its vibrancy.

When Dogteeth called him sweet and and touched his nose to his cheek, he nearly fainted. He looked down at his paws bashfully and shuffled them. He was burning up by now. He was so happy, so infatuated with Dogteeth. He hadn't forgotten the code in place, but..... It would be different with them. It had to be- Grapejuice had never been in love before and he wasn't ready to let it go.

"Y-you don't have to...." He managed.

He would aim to move his muzzle to touch noses with Dogteeths.

"B-being with you uh.... Is enough for me!" He said. The words just fell out of his mouth. He was surprised he managed to say them.... But he was glad he did. It felt good. He hoped Dogteeth felt the same, because he looked forward to gatherings specifically for him.
