Echopaw trotted towards the four great trees stretching up above the rest, the dark clearing ahead of him being the place where scents of all clans lingered. Although one was less stale than the others, much more prominent. The smell of Windclan drifted towards him, and he wasn't certain, but potentially Nutpaw.
He'd been telling himself they were just friends for days, and he couldn't bring himself to think that maybe the "excitement" that made his heart pound faster was anything but that, joy for seeing a newly-made friend. But of course, he knew somewhere deep down that it was something worse, something much much worse. But it was only bad if he let it pull him from his duty to his clan... Right? Something seemed off about the secret meeting under the cover of darkness, with only the minimal moonlight flickering off the grass to light his way, but he told himself it was only being done because it was convenient, not because it was wrong.
He emerged into the large clearing, seeing the faint dots in the sky of Starclan, and somehow he didn't believe that this could be wrong, this excitement, this happiness. But if someone caught him here, he knew he was in trouble, despite his reassurances to himself
"Nutpaw? Nutpaw are you here?"
