Mothwing's Love

Mothwing looked across the river, looking for Leafpaw in spite of being sent to hunt by Leopardstar. The twolegs had started making dens upriver, making all the fish and such go to a lower part of the river, where no cat had traveled yet. Even medicine cat apprentices were sent out to hunt. Mothwing wasn't interested in hunting, only in finding her friend, Leafpaw. Everytime she saw Leafpaw, something stirred inside her leaving her confused yet curious. She knew medicine cats weren't allowed mates, but no tom had been interested in her anyway. Or maybe she just didn't like any toms from her clan. But Leafpool had been with her through thick and thin. Sometimes she wished to join Thunderclan just to be with her friend. 
Suddenly, Mothwing heard something. She narrowed her amber eyes, scanning the bushes from which the sound was coming from. With one sniff she recognised the scent. 
"Leafpaw? Is that you?" A tabby cat flung out of the bushes and crashed clumsily into Mothwing. "Hey!" She yowled in surprise, it was in fact Leafpaw. Leafpaw smirked and pinned Mothwing down. 
"I'm sure good at fighting for a medicine cat apprentice huh!" Amber eyes met amber eyes for a moment and Mothwing felt that thing stirring inside of her. 
"Yes but, I was distracted by the moving bush. You stalk like a lumbering dog!" She teased and quickly pushed Leafpaw off of her. She came closer to Leafpaw and nuzzled her warm cheek. "I'm glad you came, I thought I would go crazy with loneliness!" 
"I'm glad I came too." Leafpaw's warm gaze turned serious as she meowed, "Is this right?" Mothwing blinked in confusion. 
"We're medicine cats, we should be able to bend the rules a bit surely?" She looked at Leafpaw, fearing she was going to say they couldn't meet any longer.
"But, what would happen if someone like my father were to catch us?" Mothwing shuddered at the thought of the Thunderclan leader finding out. She knew it was more than bending the rules, but Mothwing would do anything to see Leafpaw.
"I'll say I forced you to come! With . . ." Mothwing thought for a brief moment, "Deathberries!" Leafpaw smiled a bit but Mothwing could tell she was still apprehensive. "Hey, at least I get to be with someone who gets me." Mothwing couldn't help but smile. 
"You get me too." Leafpaw wrapped her tail with Mothwing's and licked her cheek. Mothwing was glad to have such a friend, but the unspeakable thought still lurked in her mind. Were they just friends?
