-only open to one <3-

Whitekit purred as he lay in his nest. Although he was kind of bored, he still felt happy about life. His black tail waved contently as he looked outside of the nursery where he would reside until he reached the age of six moons. Then he'd be an apprentice... He couldn't wait 'till that day. Being able to leave camp, going on patrol, training, et. It all sounded so fun and interesting to him.

The tom's piercing blue eyes blinked slowly as he found himself becoming tired, even though it was still midday- however, he was still a very young kit so spent most of his time dozing off by his mother's side... But she wasn't there right now, she was out in the camp getting some fresh air. He could really use a cuddle buddy at that moment.

{ Boo }

Why couldn't apprenticeship hurry up already? I was absolutely bored in the nursery... I had no friends to hang out with, no mother to talk to, no anyone at all to see! I was absolutely anti-social... no, wait, it wasn't that, it was my attitude. Ha. Ha. How could I forget that?

I wasn't very nice. Cats don't like the 'not-very-nice' type.

Bingo. No friends. Not even one.

'Whatever.' I grumbled, trotting over to my nest and preparing to leap inside. 'Whatever.'

I jumped. I landed beside somethin furry. In my nest. In my nest that is always empty.

I snapped my head towards a black ball of fur. I've never seen this idiot before in all my life. Where did he come from?! I opened my mouth, tasting the air. 'Oh just great,' I snarled in my head. 'This ISN'T my nest! Just perfect!'

Whitekit was confused when another cat leaped into the nest next to him. He didn't recognise their scent- then again the only scents he did recognise were hid mother's and brother's.

He turned his sharp blue eyes towards the other kit. They seemed angry for some reason... well they had walked into the wrong nest, which was embarrassing.

"Hello..." Whitekit meowed.

I stared at him. Awkward. At least he was polite enough to say hello, instead of shoving me out of his nest and back towards mine. "...Hi." I mumbled, standing there for a few more seconds in silence. Then I jumped in alarm. "Or, uh, sorry...." I apologized as I bounded out of the moss and feathers, landing just outside of it.

I turned my river-blue eyes back to him. "Um... yeah, let's just agree this never happened. Okay, kid?"

[Whitejaw]

Whitekit nodded awkwardly, piercing blue eyes looking into Slatekit's.

"Okay! I won't tell." Whitekit continued, "I'm Whitekit. What's your name?"

[Slatepaw]

Hm. Piercing blue eyes. Pretty.

I stared my own river-blue eyes back. "I'm Slatekit." I replied breezily, giving the nest a glance. "Your mother is Hailspirit, right? The temporary queen?" I recognized the scent in the moss. And I was pretty much sure this kit wouldn't be snoozing in someone else's nest, so....

[Whitejaw]

give me time and give me space

Whitekit purred. Slatekit was a nice name. "Yeah I'm Hailspirit's youngest kit." He replied, waving his black tail a little.

I nodded slowly. "Cool," was all I said. Nothin' much else to say.

[Whitejaw]

Whitekit also nodded, speaking once more. "So... is there anything you'd like to do?"

[Slatepaw]

I shrugged, "Not in particular." I muttered, giving the kitten a bored look.

"What about you?" I asked Whitekit. "I guess I'm free to... play a game or something. If you're the type of kit who absolutely needs to do something exciting." It was a little sad without Lilykit anymore. I missed my sister....

[Whitejaw]

give me time and give me space

Whitekit thought about his response for a while... He kind of wanted to play a game but the other kit clearly didn't seem so interested in doing so.

"Umm, no we can just sit here if you want..."

[Slatepaw]

I gave Whitekit a blank stare, before I sighed and looked away. "Whatever. Sounds a little boring, though." I grumbled, though a chill crept up my spine and I shivered against it. It was a little cold in here, despite it being green-leaf. Oh well.

I stepped closer to Whitekit's nest, and prepared myself to leap. "Hey, scooch over. If we're just gonna sit around and do nothing, I rather be warm with you than cold out here." I snapped, bounding next to the kitten's body and curling up against him. Hmph. He better not make things awkward, or I really will get annoyed. I was just cold. Not like I wanted to be his friend or nothin'... cause not like... I don't have any friends, and want to try a new approach... or anything... psh.

[Whitejaw]

Whitekit flattened his ears at Slatekit's response to his own. He had said the wrong answer.

The young black kit made a small 'mrrow' noise when Slatekit leaped into his nest and curled up next to him. Doing what he thought he should, he also lay down and curled his body around her in a feeble attempt to warm her.

I hummed as Whitekit moved closer to me, thankful he hadn't been prompted to run away. I sighed, feeling a tad warmer already. 'Wait... what if this is being too close?' I thought suddenly, my river-blue eyes narrowing as I considered it. 'I don't know how to make friends... I figured out being mean doesn't work, but what if that also applies to being too... friendly?'

I scoffed then to myself. 'Yeah, no. I don't think I'd even touch the level of 'friendly', so no worries there.'

"But you really don't wanna do anything, kid?" I piped up, shifting so I could just see Whitekit's face from the corner of my eye. "Most kits like... I don't know, running around? Getting into trouble? You know... kid-things. So what's wrong with you?"

[Whitejaw]

Whiteit flattened his ears, "Wait, you actually want to do something?" He asked rhetorically, "I only said no because I thought you didn't want to do anything." He admitted, looking down to the ground, his face reddened in embarrassment.

"I umm... I guess breaing the rules would be fun, I've always wanted to do something a little rebellious." He was admitting a lot today.
