I don't have a name for it.

Lilycloud sat in the camp, smoothing her fur, despite the fact that not a single tuft was really out of place. She didn't know why she felt so anxious. Well, actually she knew very well what was on her mind. It was the same thing that had refused to leave her mind for quite a while. Smokeshade. Recently, whenever she saw the dark-furred tom, a thrill of happy excitement would rush through her, warming her from nose to tail-tip. It was not an unpleasant feeling, but it could be rather inconvenient, feeling so out of place whenever she saw her own clanmate and best friend. 
What are you doing Lilycloud? she asked herself. Get yourself together! 
However, a rogue thought suddenly snuck its way up from her heart into her mind. 
Why shouldn't I feel this way?... Smokeshade is a very nice cat...NOPE!!!! He would never feel the same way about me! I'm just a dumb kit compared to him! But...he said he cared about me...and he said he liked spending time with me...and I care about him...
She continued in this back-and-forth fashion, debating her own feelings. 
Ugh...feelings...why....
She sighed quietly.
Starclan save me...I think I'm head over tails for my best friend...

Smokeshade wasn't faring much better, apparently it had been obvious to all around him that he'd been steadily harbouring feelings for Lilycloud. Obvious to everyone but him, that was. He'd made up so many excuses in his mind for why he could suddenly be feeling so strange whenever he was around her, and even when he wasn't. His heart started fluttering, he'd considered maybe it was because he had never had such a close friend like her, not like how their relationship was. Snokeshade had even gone and bothered Silverfang about him having some undiagnosed heart condition for how strange he felt, but she quickly cured him of his delusions. It was a relief to know nothing was wrong with him but now he was back at square one.

Until Mottledflame had caught him staring. She wasn't one to soften the blows of her words, and Smokeshade had considered her an irritant, at first, sticking her nose into where it wasn't wanted. It was ironic now, then, to say that he owed a lot to the feisty she-cat, because it had been her to finally get him to admit to herself that he had feelings for the brown-furred warrior. She'd even given him some advice on how to admit it to Lilycloud, but he was too scared, her possible rejection spinning around in his mind, but it had promoted him into realising that he had to do something. The worst that could happen is that she could say no, right? It would destroy his heart and leave him an empty shell, but that was the worst of it.

He'd just came back from a border patrol, it had been uneventful so the fluffy warrior was still relatively energised and alert. His olive eyes fell upon sleek brown fur. He froze, a warm and silly feeling came over him. Despite all his fears about how Lillycloud would react if she knew how he felt about her, Smokeshade couldn't help but seek her company. No matter would happened, he'd always just want to be around her, she made him feel happy. "Lilycloud," he hesitated for a moment, before padding over to join her. "I haven't seen you as much since... our time in the forest. I hope I didn't scare you off," He was teasing but there was a slight serious undertone to his voice, he was scared to know the answer, just in case he had.

Lilycloud looked up as soon as she heard her name. When her eyes landed on Smokeshade, it seemed as if they took on a sparkle; as if even her eyes were pleased to see him.
"Hi Smokeshade," she purred, nuzzling his shoulder affectionately. When she was this close to him, she felt as if the world would begin to shake with the amount of purring that vibrated from her chest. His long pelage seemed to swallow her for a second. Of course, she did not mind at all. She breathed in his scent, which was a comforting blend of the forest, and rain on dry earth. 
"Of course you didn't scare me off, It would take more than that to get rid of me."

Her eyes were an amazing blue, he thought, either not noticing the light that appeared when she spotted him, or putting it down to something else. His pelt was long and fluffy, it was a pain to keep clean, but he knew it kept him warm when he needed the extra heat. Maybe one day it could keep Lilycloud warm too on day, hopefully that wasn't just wishful thinking. A soft purr started up in response to the chocolate furred feline's, who was a little smaller than himself. Actually, he couldn't help but purr whenever he was near her, or thinking about her. The memory of just the other day came into mind: the tom was on a patrol when Lilycloud suddenly jumped into his mind, Snokeshade had let out the loudest rumbling purr he'd ever heard that even those accompanying him had turned to look at him. Luckily, he'd managed to pass it off as him trying to clear his throat but he wasn't sure how believable he had been at the time, especially considering how he'd still been thinking of the young warrior when he'd tried to explain himself.

He knew he'd been worried for her response, just in case, for whatever reason, she had decided that she didn't want to be as close to him as Smokeshade wanted to be with her. A pointless worry, if he had known what was going on in Lilycloud's mind, but he didn't, of course, so he was stuck with his worrying. However, it looked like he hadn't known exactly how on edge he'd been for her response. When she had responded that he hadn't scared her off and, by the looks of it, wasn't going anywhere anytime soon either, Smokeshade let out a breath he didn't even know he'd been holding in. "That's good," He hoped the strong sense of relief didn't show in his voice but it probably did anyway. "Not sure what I'd do without you," Again, he hoped the inner emotion he felt wasn't showing in how he spoke, but Smokeshade's defence system when it came to dealing with feelings was avoid them, so in the case of his feelings not wanting to be avoided, he had no clue on how to control them.

Lilycloud's chocolate-colored ears perked as she heard their purrs come together and harmonize. Their different voices seemed to float together, occasionally meeting, and entertwining in harmony. 
"Not sure what I'd do without you..."
Those words seemed to envelop the she-cat, sending a thrill all the way to the snow-white tip of her tail, which was flicking in anticipation. 
"You know Smokeshade..." The loving words that had flitted about her mind were bubbling behind her mouth, seeming to push against her lips in an effort to escape. She moved closer to him, as if there were some sort of magnetic force, pulling her in the direction of the fluffy tom. 
"I don't know what I would do without you either...You're always there for me...and you taught me how to be a warrior."
Say it..just say it...She could not pretend anymore. She had fallen head over paws for Smokeshade. There was nothing she could do. 
"I-I think.."
Her entire body froze, and it seemed that the whole camp had fallen silent. Suddenly, she could not even hear the sweet sound of birdsong, which usually surrounded the area. Although her ears were fully alert, they could not seem to detect anything other than her own breathing, and that of Smokeshade. 
"I think I...love you."
And the prey is dropped....

The black smoke could sense that something big was about to happen, there was a certain kind of energy that was radiating from the two, it had him both anticipating and dreading what came next. At first, when he felt her press against him more firmly, he stiffened but gradually relaxed, leaning into her slightly. For the first time all day, he felt his mind relax from its turbulent thoughts, and for the briefest of moments, he closed his eyes, before he heard Lilycloud's soft voice bring him out of his momentary reverie, causing him tufted ears to prick in preparation for her next words. He had a sense that whatever they were would change his life forever.

Lilycloud's hesitation was unnerving to him. He was used to her quiet confidence, so to see her struggling for words concerned him. If it was difficult for her to say, would it be difficult for him to hear? Smokeshade felt himself get drawn into the conversation, the suspense growing steadily, causing him to focus on nothing else but the she-cat next to him. The birdsongs so sweet faded away and the bustle of the camp turned into white noise, so easily blocked out by his mind, all his senses were ready and waiting. "Think what...?" His voice was so quiet, it was nearly inaudible. Not that it mattered anyway, because the wait for what came next was both too soon and too long.

"I think I love you."

If he'd thought it was quiet before, everything had gone silent now. Not literally, but in Smokeshade's mind, not a thing could be heard. The tom couldn't even think a single thought. "You love me?" Utterly taken by surprise, Smokeshade was rendered unable to do anything other than repeat the words. He was silent for a few moments more, until his senses finally began to come back to him, realising that he'd maybe left Lilycloud on the edge of suspense. That wasn't a good feeling, he'd been playing a vision of him on the opposite end to where he was now, just the worst case scenario. He shook off the shock, regaining coherence. "Why? How?" Partially. "I love you too, I wasn't expecting you to feel the same way." Smokeshade felt like the luckiest tom in the all three clans, like he was walking on clouds and nothing could ever hurt him.

Lilycloud felt as if she could never break the silence, which wound its way around her, like an ivy tendril that slithered up a tree, and could choke out even the strongest oak. 
This is what you get for placing your heart on the line, her mind screamed. You get yourself hurt. And it's not as if you can just go back to how things were. Why did you have to fall for your friend?!
She continued to mentally berate herself, to the point that she nearly missed Smokeshade's question. However, she caught it at the last second, and managed a nod, never taking her eyes off her white paws. There was no going back now. She could never return to how her life once was. She had destroyed the beautiful thing that was her friendship, and for what? So she could pursue a love she could undoubtably never possess? 
What have I done?! 
That was when she heard it. Like a ray of light shining through the clouds, or a voice from beyond the stars, Smokeshade was speaking. 
"I love you too."
Her head jerked up, eyes shimmering.
He loves me?! But...Why?! WHO CARES?! He loves me!
She purred louder than ever before, and nuzzled Smokeshade once more. She knew that she had done this over and over, but by now, she could not help it. Her heart was soaring, and leaping around like a kitten. Her tail moved of its own accord, winding around the fluffy tom. 
"You didn't think I would feel the same way about you? I thought you would not love me!"
