Star and sangre had been sent out to hunt for the groop. star had felt odd around him ever since she over heard him and turner talking. turner had been complimenting her, like always, but them sangre suprised both of them by saying he liked her. turner, who clearly had a crush on her aswell, had started growling at him and saying to keep away from her, star broke in before it could brake out into a fight(she lied and said she had only just got back when sangre asked her how long she had been there).
sangre clearly didnt belive her, or thought she heard him as she walked up. he had been quiet since then.
he avoided looking at her, looking into the forest or down at his paws. he wasnt paying attention to here he was going, and slipped on some snow that had hardened.
"are you ok?" she asked, leaning her head down.
"y..yea fine, just a bit of ice." he lifted his head to look at her, probaly for the first time since when he revealed he liked her, and they bumped noses.
he was a bit stunned and froze for a couple seconds, before jumping up and looking at his paws.
"s..sory" he studdered.
she sighed and shook her head, "why have you been so nervouse around me?" she asked, smiling a little.
"nevouse?!" he barked, his voice cracking, "im, i mean i havnt been nervouse..." he shifted his weight from one paw to the other.
she rolled her eyes, "yea, you have." she smiled a little.
"w..well..." he started, then got up, "we should be going." he barked nervously.
"not till you tell me why." star said sternly, and he sat back down.
"well, did you over-hear what i said before turner started growling at me?" he whined nervously, lifting his head again to look at her.
she smiled again, "every word."
'r..re..realy?" he stuttered, as if it was hard to speak.
she nodded. after a few seconds she leaned forward and nuzzled him on the neck.
he stiffened, then loosened a little. she could feel his warmth.
she gently put her paws around him and pulled him closer. as if not knowing what to do, he delicatly licked the top of her head.
"i love you." she whispered
