Scourge looked around, confused by all the different colored lights and sounds, so many sounds.

He shook his head and grabbed a female cat walking past him "Hey! What is this place? What's going on?" He said, his voice carried surprisingly well over the music, he didn't even have to yell.

The female cat turned around to face Scourge "I think you would've figured out by now Scourge, one, your power means nothing here you are just a normal cat, two, you need to look at your surroundings a bit closer and you'll know, three, maybe you need to look at your heart a bit closer" the cat flicked her hair out of her eyes and moved to reveal Bone and Willow along with a few cats that Scourge didn't know.

"Hey, what does that mea-" scourge was cut off as he realized that the she-cat was gone.

Scourge looked at Bone, he was happy, laughing alongside Willow and the others, but there was something off, two of the others were males, and their tails were twined together as they occasionally gave each other loving looks.

What?! Scourge thought, enraged, males are not meant to be together!

Bone looked over and saw Scourge, he froze with his jaws open and nudged Willow who was engaged in a conversation with a beautiful she-cat.

"S-Scourge, what are you doing here?" Bone stuttered, inching closer to Willow, the two males had fled, not wanting to get caught up in something that could get them killed.

"Well, you see, leaders have a right to know what their clan is doing don't you think? Plus, this is my territory that your on, I suggest you either shut this thing down, or tell me what's happening here, I just saw two males with their tails wrapped together" Scourge feigned disgust but to his surprise, he found it a little charming...maybe even cute...no, Scourge hadn't thought of anything as 'cute' for ages, and he wasn't about to now.

"Hey, uh...Scourge, I think you should calm down a little, I thought you were ok with me being ahem haha-" Bome broke off into a fake fit of coughing and looked at the floor "This is just a place where we can be ourselves...whatever you have to do, banish me, kill me, but please...don't take this away from them" Bone swished his tail, indicating the cats in the place, the music had faded into the background as more and more cats began to realize who Scourge was and gather Aron d to see what would happen.

Scourge sighed "I'm not gonna kill you, or banish you, Bone, I need yo-" Scourge froze as he noticed too late what he had said, the crowd snickered and some laughed "I need you to keep the clan moving smoothly" Scourge growled, eyes iced over as he stared at the gathering crowd.

They fell silent once more, now realizing that they'd just made everything worse.

"You think I Scourge, leader of Bloodclan, would love a male?" He said scornfully, Scourge could almost feel Bone flinch behind him.

...would he? At this point Scourge was so confused he didn't know what to think, he'd seen handsome males when he was younger, but he'd never considered the fact that he thought they were handsome in the first place.

No, of course not, Scourge pushed the lingering doubt away and looked back at Bone "You can keep your safe place, your lucky that your my deputy or this place would be shut down" Scourge scratched the ground with such force stone scraped up and his claw mark was engraved in the floor.

Scourge couldn't stop thinking about it, was it just because of Bone being his deputy?

Of course it was...why would there be any other reason?
