Leafpool and Mothwing.
The two loved eachother, just as any tom and she-cat would. They were closer than how Leafpool used to have a relationship with Crowfeather (who, in the end couldn't find feelings for him.)
But in the end, they would never be together.
They never could be, no matter what. They were from different clans, and Leafpool... She was in StarClan. She couldn't talk or try conversing with her.
When they first met, Mothwing was not very happy to se her, but overtime in the gatherings, she warmed up and talked about their shared role. Leafpaw really, really enjoyed her presence. Even if she made mistakes as a medicine cat, like getting pregnant to Jayfeather, Hollyleaf, Lionblaze, and yet never telling them, Mothwing still loved her, and she did too.
If she admitted it, maybe they could have had a secret relationship. Just the two medicine cats being all lovey dovey without anyone knowing at night, just for a little. But someone might have noticed, and that wouldn't go well for them. They'd be exiled at worst... and that wouldnt be good either, Leafpool just wished they were happy together.
As an apprentice, Leafpaw admired Mothwing, but she would never expect her to not believe in StarClan, but she didn't care about that. If StarClan hated them, she wouldn't care. Leafpaw would rather be with Mothwing than be in StarClan. Which was always true to Leafpool, even now as a StarClan member, where would Mothwing go. Not to StarClan, I bet... Leafpool sighed hopelessly.
Mothpaw didn't have friends. She was bullied by the other apprentices for being an 'un-needed useless peice of mousedung', just because she was a rouge. (The discrimination is crazy tbh.) As an apprentice, Mothpaw had her foxhearted brother, Hawkpaw who wanted to get rid of these other apprentices for disrespecting the two because they were rouges, but when Mothpaw became Mothwing, she met Leafpaw, a (pretty) medicine apprentice, who seemed to look up to the newly named medicine cat. At first, she didn't trust the apprentice, thinking she was trying to gain her trust to manipulate her, but then she thought that was stupid, and slowly warmed up to the apprentice, who later was named Leafpool. Thats a pretty name for a pretty warrior like her. She thought to herself, feeling slightly warm inside thinking of her.
But...
She was dead, and the thought of that made Mothwing on the verge of tears. She knows she should be getting over it now, but it's just too hard, and she will always remember the beautiful she, even in death.
