Angsty One-Shots

Nicolas and Adam

As ScarletClan lay resting, Nicolas, a 23-year-old apprentice, was training extra hard with his mentor, Adam. Nicolas was prone to getting distracted by small things. Whether it was due to an overactive mind or his attractive mentor is still up for debate. 

Nicolas had chocolate brown hair and electric blue eyes and a much rounder face than your average male. He was also a bit shorter than average, which just helped to make him look more feminine. Adam, on the other hand, could only be described as if you took that one dad friend who calls everyone 25 and under "kid" and "sport" but if he was hot af. Adam had short red hair and a small stubble and bright green eyes, also a rather muscley build.

Nic couldn't help but stare at his mentor dreamily, fantasies of them kissing, cuddling, and even a bit more filling his mind. A soft smile traced his lips. Adam looked at Nic to see if he was paying attention. "Nic? Are you paying attention? Do you want to become a warrior or not?" Adam scolded.

Nic snapped back and locked eyes with him to see the same playful and sweet man he had fallen in love with. "I mean, that statement is subject to opinion if you ask me." he purred. "Well, then I'll be going since you don't want to be a warrior!" Adam started packing his things and began walking away.

"Waitwaitwaitwait nonononononononononono I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry please don't go!" Nic pleaded and chased after the tall black-haired man, who was laughing. "Okay, okay, I wasn't planning on going anyways, I just wanted to see the pretty boy hotshot admit to needing me." Adam purred in Nic's ear.

Adam turned back and started to unpack his things and went back to the lesson, completely oblivious to the embarrassed and shocked boy. Nic's face was a bright red and it was slightly obvious his friend down south was also pretty happy about the moment. Nic cleared his throat "Wh- Whatever!" he muttered, pulling his shirt down calmly to cover himself and walked over to his seat.

"Now, where were we-" Adam was cut off when a loud explosion followed by gunshots filled the area, clearing it of its lovey-dovey aura. Nic yelped and instinctively darted over to Adam and cowered into his firm -yet comfortable- chest. "Is this a part of the training thing you do? If so, please make it stop..." Nic whimpered, letting his guard down just enough for Adam to comfort him.

"No, this isn't a part of my training. I know better than to scare you like that." Adam muttered, looking around with his bright green eyes at everything in the room, holding Nic closer. Nic began to tear up and cry, burying his face into his chest.

"Hey, hey, shh, it's gonna be okay. We're gonna get out of here." Adam nestled his face into Nic's hair and hugged him tightly, Adam's stubble tickling Nic's forehead. A loud siren sounded above them, signaling they were under attack. "All warriors and apprentices meet it the main base stat. Queens, kits, and elders run and hide, anywhere but here." the leader, Lilith, ordered through their walky-talky like device. 

Adam let go of Nic and grabbed his hand, leading him urgently to the main base. "Adam! Nicolas! Good to see you two are alright." Lilith stated, her scarlet eyes shimmering brightly. "Let's just hope the same is true for the others." Adam mumbled.

Nicolas dipped his head in a polite 'thank you' and noticed he was still holding Adam's hand. Trying to brush it off, Nic asked, "What is going on?" very quietly. Lilith sighed, looking away and Adam squeezed his hand comfortingly, but neither answered his question. 

"It's nothing to worry about. You and the other apprentices aren't going to see anything you don't need to." Lilith said calmly locking eyes with him. Others soon began filing into the room, all between the ages of 15-30.

After everyone was inside, Lilith leaped up to her seat and spoke loudly and calmly. "We are under attack. Do not panic, we will get out of here. We will win. Apprentices, you will meet with Samantha and Logan and have a discussion on what you will be doing. Warriors, you will meet with me and we'll do the same. Proceed." 

Nicolas couldn't help but notice that it felt so much better when Adam said that compared to when she did. Hers was filled with determination and fury, while his was full of comfort and care. Nic looked at Adam, who looked back at him. "It's gonna be okay. I promise you." he said.

Nic nodded and gently broke his hand from Adam's, turning and heading towards Logan. Logan smiled "Hey, Nic! How are you and the husband?" Nicolas' face flushed at the comment "We aren't married, dumbass! And it's going fine." 

"You two, no messing around! This is a serious matter!" Samantha snapped. Nic lowered his head and Logan just nodded. "Now, as I was saying, all you are going to be nurses and will help me and Logan on the sidelines. Does that make sense?"

Everyone must have nodded since she just moved right on. "Alright, let's go over the basics..." she went on and on until it was time to go. As soon as they were released, Nic went straight to Adam. "What are you going to be doing?" he asked urgently.

"I'm on the front lines. How about you?" Adam responded like it was nothing. "I'm a nurse. You're going to be in so much danger? What happened to getting out of this?" Nic stated fearfully, his eyes widening in shock.

"Well, it was either me or someone else, and I can't have that. Besides, it's going to be just fine, it really is." Adam shrugged as he began to grab what he needed. Such as guns, ammo, knives, and more. "You should head to your station before anything gets nasty. I'll see you soon." Adam said to Nic with a smile. 

Not one that showed how happy he was or how joyed he was. Rather, it seemed to hide some sort of pain and sadness. Nic stared at his back as he padded out of the base and into the battlezone. What was Nicolas going to do?

Time skip to after the war.

Nic gathered a few other apprentices and went out to retrieve the ones who lost their lives. As he walked and carried the wounded and hurt, he came across one body that caught him off guard.

Adam.

Nic fell to his knees, looking at the limp body in front of him. "Adam, Adam, Adam, get up. This isn't funny. Get up... Please..." Nic pleaded hopelessly, tears pricking the corners of his eyes, threatening to fall.

"Adam..." Nic crawled into Adam's limp arms, wrapping them around himself. He buried his face into Adam's blood-soaked chest, sobbing.

"I'm sorry"

"I should have found you sooner"

"I should've gone with you, maybe then none of this would've happened..."

"It's all my fault."

"I love you"

"I love you so much... I'm so sorry..."
