It was no new fault of Pinewhisker's that he had never been able to see the negative in anything. During the moons where his life was so happy he had never even begun to think that life might not always be that way. So now, with both Owlscreech and Cloudfern dead, he had been left in shock.
For the most part he was still able to keep his spirits up, more for everyone else's sakes rather than his own. For Owlscreech's kits, even Batpaw and Chirppaw who he'd promised his sister back in the AspenClan camp he would look after. For Morningflight, as she started to timidly carve her own place in the Clan with Marigoldflare's help and her new friend from RavenClan. For the kits he'd raised with Cloudfern who were all grieving over their lost mother. But the one place where he could let his smile fall and let himself fell sad was in Spiderfrost's company. He had never been more grateful for his mate's presence than he was in those days.
That morning he was sat by himself so, on the same riverside where Cloudfern had told him she was expecting kits and where they'd sat moons later talking about all they'd had and let go together. As much as he was saddened to think about her there was still a slight smile on his face, remembering the secret friend he'd made as an apprentice who'd turned into his mate and then old companion as an adult.

Loss was something that Spiderfrost could say he would never get used to. Losing Loudstorm had been a turning point in his life, the first taste of remembering a death. Losing Cloudfern had been just as bad, the close friendship he had with her, and while he hadn't been overly close with Owlscreech he had felt the pain of her death all the same. It was worse though, seeing the pain it caused his bright sunlight of a mate. The way his smile would fall of his face once they were alone, a sort of tiredness in his expression as he leaned against Spiderfrost's side.
His paws followed along paths he had went along since his apprenticeship, calm gaze seeking out a familiar pelt that he knew he would find here. It was a place that Pinewhisker had told him about before, how special it was to him and Cloudfern. As he slowed to a halt, settling down beside his mate, pelts brushing he was quiet, watching the rippling waters and the sunlight shinning on the surface. "You have a quiet strength. It's something that I've always loved about you."

Pinewhisker's ears twitched as he heard someone approaching him from behind, knowing without needing to look that it would be Spiderfrost. As his mate sat down beside him he turned his head to hide his face in the fur around Spiderfrost's neck, murmuring a muffled "Thank you," at his words. If Pinewhisker was honestly he didn't feel very strong in that moment, he just felt like a sad little kit who wanted his friends like. "I want them back," he said then, knowing he sounded childish but also knowing that he was with the one cat who wouldn't care. He didn't need to be a father out here, he didn't need to be an adult, he could just be him.
