The day was warm with Spring's embrace and Swordstrike savored the feeling of it, the occasional breeze to ruffle his fur and the scent of budding flowers, as he waited outside the camp's main entrance. About a moon had passed since Appleblush and him had gone on their first date, and since then they'd grown even closer, to the point that they were beginning to view each other as mates. He was still in awe of the whole thing, having not expected the once "depressed" she-cat to favor him so. Just thinking about their blind-date made him smile. So much had changed since then, and he intended to take a step towards even more change today.
A picnic was already prepared at the secret garden, and this time he'd sent someone there to guard it. It was meant to be an anniversary of sorts, a date that would hopefully cement their affection for one another. He wasn't too experienced in the dating department to know if he was moving too fast or not, but he thought he could read the signs well, and Appleblush was definitely sending him some. It wasn't like he was going to ask her to carry his children or anything like that, not that he was opposed to the idea... He just wanted to become part of the family. He wanted to be a part of Nettlepaw's life, and he hoped that was something Appleblush wanted too. To him and his brother, family was everything, and he wanted to welcome her into his just as much. But he wasn't going to force her to "meet" Shieldheart unless she wanted to, just like he wasn't going out of his way to get into Nettlepaw's business. He wanted her to make that call.
His fluffy tail thumped against the ground as he stared up at the sky, his face pulled into an expression of deep-thought. It only softened slightly, as the sweet scent of his mate tickled his nose and he turned his head to greet her. pao
Appleblush had bene excited since her lover had told her about their little date to their favorite meeting spot. She happily danced into the area, grinning even more when she spotted Swordstrike. "Beloved!" The orange tabby hurried to his side, not a care in the world and was glad to find their picnic all in one piece this time. She could remember her first date with him in this same place only a moon ago and how horribly it had started. A ruined date that turned into this? No one could have imagined it. Especially Appleblush. She had been on dates before, had thought she was in love, only to be disappointed later on. That tom had dumped her at the first signs of pregnancy and hasn't sought her out since. Now, her three kits are down to just one, Nettlepaw the only one to survive to apprentice hood and she was all the worse for it. First her love leaves her, then two of her kits do, and now, now she has a chance to start again. To try again and she wasn't going to waste it. Appleblush had been ignoring her son as of late, even she knew that, but all her time was going into spending it with Swordstrike and what lovely times those were. There was not one moment where she was unhappy and was perfectly ready to move to the next level. The she-cat had decided not long ago that she wouldn't let this tom and this chance escape her and so she was doing her best to make it all work. Being happy was important and so she constantly asked him about things that were important to him and worked on those, never once caring about herself an giving her all to him. It was just as she'd done before. Disregarded her own needs and wants and life for the tom she thought she was in love with, but this time she knew it was true for he returned her love so clearly he must want her.

Smiling at her enthusiastic greeting, Swordstrike licked her cheek in greeting. "I'm glad you could make it," he purred and then led her to the picnic. A plaid, twoleg blanket was spread out beside the pond with an assortment of small birds and rodents placed in a nice circle in the middle. In the very center, a leaf sat with a pool of liquidized honey--a special treat he'd received from the medicine cat's den as an apology for their first picnic's failure. "I hope it's to your liking," he said with a mock-formal tone. He suppressed a laugh as he took his seat on one side of the blanket and waited for her to do the same. There was something he really wanted to ask her, but he didn't want to rush into it right away. They could start with some light conversation before he got into anything too deep. Looking past her for a moment, he gave the guard he appointed a short nod to dismiss them and in a matter of seconds, they had the place to themselves.
"With you here? Always. I couldn't imagine anything being better." Appleblush brushed against him as she made to take her place near the waters edge and curled around the edge. She let a low pur fill the air, smiling at him in a way that showed just how much she appreciated all he'd done. "How was your day? I'm sure it was super interesting being the brother of the deputy." Appleblush had witnessed how close the two brother were and couldn't imagine that kind of closeness with her own sisters or even her own kit, but it was interesting to watch the two brothers interact, even cute if she dared to call it that.

"Being his brother has always been interesting," Swordstrike said, his face twisting with a conflicted flash of emotions. They were close and he loved him, of course. Shieldheart was very protective though and well, clingy. Anytime he was in a relationship, Sheildheart would cause a fuss about it. Now that he was deputy, it only made it easier to snoop on his private life which was as exhausting as it was frustrating. Appleblush being from FallClan was the only thing stopping his brother from sabotaging them. "My morning was busy. He wanted my help assigning patrols and then I filled in for him and trained Maplepaw. It can be annoying sometimes, but that's what family's for, right?"
After rolling one of the squirrels closer to him, he gave Appleblush a cautious smile. "How's your family doing? Your son's an apprentice now, right?" He felt awkward for asking, but then she'd brought up his brother first which felt like an invitation to discuss the topic.
Flurryofstars also I totally forgot until now but Chestnutheart, the mc of FallClan is Appleblush's sister/littermate, she's related to the Ambersky family tree (aka the nuts one in the discord bot chat)
Appleblush frowned at the reminder of her son. Part of her had been trying to forget about him, him and all the pain his existence brought her. She didn't want to remember that part of her life anymore, his father, her ex, and the despair it caused her. Another part, knew he was her son and that family was important. But what did she even know about her son? Nettlepaw was an apprentice and her son....that was it. Appleblush had no idea who his mentor was or how his training was going or even what he was currently up too due to how little attention she'd paid him as of late. "Yes, seems like just yesterday he was still a kit." It was a safe answer and she hoped to move the conversation away from him, and back onto Swordstrike and his life. "Everyone else is coping best they can after Frostpaw's death. MY uncle has taken over raising her kits as I'm sure you've heard."

Swordstrike misread the curve in their conversation, thinking that Appleblush might be hinting at needing help with family because of the tragedy. “I did hear,” he started in a careful tone, “And I’m sorry about what happened and what you’ve all been through. I think it’s nice that your uncle took over raising her kits. It’s important to look after family during times like these...” He studied Appleblush for a moment to gauge her reaction. He wanted to comfort and support her so badly, but he couldn’t help but feel this topic might be too much for right now. He couldn’t give up though. “I hope that I can help your family too and whenever you’re ready, I’d love to meet your son.”
Flurryofstars you're welcome to toss in Nettlepaw, we can time skip if you want to make that happen to like the end of the date and then he plan another one and invite Nettlepaw without really telling her, or telling her and she's supposed to invite Nettlepaw and "forgets" to do that
Appleblush shrugged at first, she hadn't known her aunt well before she'd come to FallClan pregnant and with a mate in tow. So really, she hadn't been too upset when she'd died. Yeah, she hadn't the grief it was showing in her older family members like her dad and other aunt Seablossom and them who knew her aunt Frostedpaw better, but still. How were you to grieve for someone you barely knew? So yeah, she was sad about it, especially seeing the struggle on everyone to cover the loss they were feeling, and it made her feel like a kit losing their grandparent. Someone they would barely know, but know enough to know what they were missing out on. "I didn't know her well, but it's still sad. Those kits will never know her. It's a shame." She tried to give a convincing smile though when he asked to meet Nettlepaw. Appleblush hadn't spoken to him in a while, would he want to meet her new lover? Did he even care? "I'm sure he'd like that." She wasn't sure, she had no idea.

pao Here, after this, if you want to time skip you can. I've set it up for ya!
Swordstrike reached across the blanket to set his paw over her's. It was almost twice the size of Appleblush's and he made sure to keep his touch gentle and as comforting as possible. He didn't know how to reassure her any further, but he was glad to see the smile at the mention of Nettlepaw. Maybe he was helping after all. "Give me a few days and I can set up another picnic with enough to feed more than just us. You can bring Nettlepaw and anyone else you want to introduce me to, and if you'd like to formally meet my brother, he can't resist free food."
(Ok not sure if you saw but turtle left so Chestnutheart and Applecrisp are dead/gone so more tragedy for this fam. Also lav has Apple blush’s only remaining sibling if you’re cool with doing a family thread with her and Swordstrike. Maybe with Nettlepaw or just adding her here with Acorncharm. Oh and Oddkit died in Seablossom and Crownglass’ arms recently too. We could do one big family thread/picnic with the remaining parts of each of their sides. Maybe in that thread announce them as mates? Like the two disappear for a walk while those left interact and when they come back they’re like “guess what? We’re mates now! Isn’t that good news!” Appleblush would so rush something like that. She did with her last relationship.) Flurryofstars

Yeah I’m cool with doing some kind of family picnic! Maybe we should start a new thread in that case, just to keep it organized if we’re adding Lavellan. pao
