Chapter Eight

“That’s better, don’t you think?” Tail flicking behind him, the tom canted his head to the side. A gesture that made Starfleck’s chest squeeze a bit tight.

Nodding a bit, the she-cat opened her mouth, before shutting it almost immediately. Starfleck could taste the question on her tongue, but was afraid to ask it. She had almost given out her own name, after all.

The look in the tom’s eyes, however, glinted in the shadows. Daring her to ask the same question he had thrown at her earlier. “Do it.” There was a mocking chirp to it - chirp that she found intriguing and irritating at the same time.

“.....Who are you?” Starfleck hated that she got taunted into asking a simple question. A bit of her pride was hurt, but she clenched her teeth in stubbornness into not letting it show.

With a small smirk, causing Starfleck to gulp while feeling her face grow hot, the tom would tilt his head even more. Causing his ears to flop to the side. “They call me Hawk because of my gaze.”

‘Yeah, no kidding.’ Starfleck thought as she averted her gaze. Those moss green eyes of Hawk were very unnerving.
