Ottertail hesitated. Maybe she doesn't realize it's her? He thought. How could she even consider it a good thing for him to love her? Hadn't he always been told that a medicine cat thought of her Clanmates like... kits or something? Would she laugh at him? But he couldn't just go through his life without telling her. Could he? Plucking up his courage, Ottertail straightened himself and looked her straight in the eye.
"It's you." He meowed finally. "I really... I love you, Flameheart. I understand if you don't feel the same way, I..." He felt his courage faltering and his confident expression vanished, replaced by one of complete despair.

Flameheart waited patiently for Ottertail to speak. She felt her heat skip a few beats when he confessed her love for her. She was never happier and couldn't believe her luck. She knew that she shouldn't feel this way but she couldn't help it. "I love you too" she mewed, a bright smile on her face.

Ottertail's sad expression changed immediately into one of surprise and happiness.
"Really?" He meowed loudly, his heart stuttering in his chest. "I mean... really?" All coherency seemed to leave him as he stared at her, not knowing what to even think. She was a medicine cat, after all... She wasn't supposed to have a mate. But... but this feeling couldn't be wrong? They shared an equal love. True love. That could never be wrong. He was sure of it.

Flameheart watched as his expression changed. It made her happy that she could make him so cheerful. She could also tell that her confession surprised him, much like his surprised her. "Really" she mewed seriously. She leaned forward and placed a lick on Ottertail's cheek before pulling back, her cheeks hot. She knew that StarClan might frown upon their relationship at first, but they couldn't stand in the way of a true love like theirs.

Ottertail smiled at her. He'd never really imagined Flameheart reciprocating his feelings. It had, in his mind, been beyond the realm of consideration. But looking into her eyes, Ottertail's doubts flew away like feathers on the wind. All he could think about was Flameheart, how she was so beautiful, and the feeling of her kiss on his cheek.
"I'm... I'm just so happy!" He said, still a bit at a loss for words.

Flameheart smiled brightly. "So am I" she mewed. Ottertail was the first cat she had felt this deeply for since her mothers passing. She knew that the road ahead would be difficult, but she would face it as long as Ottertail was at her side.

Ottertail looked at Flameheart steadily, wondering what she was thinking. It was difficult to imagine the troubles they would face if they wanted to be together. After all, Flameheart was a medicine cat, and she wasn't supposed to have a mate. But it wouldn't be so bad, would it? StarClan wouldn't have let him fall in love with her, or her with him, unless they approved of their love? I don't know what to think. The tom thought as he looked at the she-cat. He decided that it would be best to just take things one day at a time. Ottertail smiled, glad to have Flameheart near him.
"Good for you," Bluebell murmured in his ear, making his expression soften a little. He was glad to have his friend's support.

Flameheart was quiet, unsure of what to say. She didn't want to ruin the moment by bringing up all the challenges that they would have to face. She settled for just smiling brightly at Ottertail, and basking in the happiness that came with the moment.

Ottertail was content to just gaze into Flameheart's eyes, taking in her beauty and the spark of energy that he loved to see lighting in her features. Silence is the perfectest herald of joy. He thought. But he knew he had to say something. A question was perching on the end of his tongue, and he just had to sort out what he was thinking of. Finally, the tom said, "Can I go with you to gather herbs every day?" He asked gently, wishing to spend as much time with her as he could.
OOC: I couldn't resist the Shakespeare reference XD Not that I think Ottertail is particularly like Claudio... although he really does have similarities. I hope he isn't as dense. *pushes Ottertail behind back and brandishes a lightsaber at Don John* Leave my kitty alone!

Flameheart was enjoying the comfortable silience between them when Ottertail spoke. The question, random as it was, made her heart swell. "Of course you can, I'd love the company" she mewed.

Ottertail beamed at her happily. With a shy dip of his head, he gently brushed the tip of his thick-furred tail against her flank. Even that small contact sent chills through the tom, and he could hardly believe that this was really happening. It seemed so right, somehow, even when he knew that it was supposed to be wrong.
"Sometimes what seems wrong in others' eyes is what we need the most. And true love can never be wrong."[/b] Bluebell meowed. Ottertail didn't look away from Flameheart, but he tipped his head to one side, considering his friend's words. No. True love really couldn't be wrong. These feelings were pure and right, he could just feel it. There was no way that the warmth that filled his chest could be bad. And there was something like injustice in the thought that two lovers couldn't be together.
"You're all idiots." Tangledpath snapped, as if his opinion mattered to the lovers, or to Bluebell, who just smiled at him understandingly and laughed.
