Happier (SongFic) (Icecloud X Bumblestripe X Dovewing X Tigerheart)

Bumblestripe felt his face fell down as he saw Dovewing smiling at Tigerheart blissfully, her gaze bright with affection and sweetness she never expressed to him before. That disloyal, annoying ShadowClan, with his daring smirk and rule-breaking personality, made Bumblestripe feel sicker than a bout of greencough. He felt sorry for the she-cat Tigerheart had snapped at when she asked him where he was going. But Tigerheart and Dovewing had obvious feelings for each other.

Bumblestripe suddenly felt self-conscious. Tigerheart was a cool, daredevil tom with an air of strength. He was a shy, sweet, rule-following nice tom with an air of a coward. He wanted to turn around and run away as fast as he could.

His eyes widened with horror, sadness, anger and flushes of betrayal as he saw Dovewing and Tigerheart lick each others cheeks in the way only mates or partners would do. They grinned at each other lovingly. Bumblestripe felt a tear. He just crouched there, jaw gaped, eyes not daring to blink, and tears matting his grey tabby fur as the forbidden couple giggled and laughed under the moonlight. He just had to watch.

Then a sad smile slowly creeped up to his muzzle.

He knew what to do.

As much as he didn't want to.
