you sit on the edge of the pile, sitting in the ash and soot. Your father had banished the man you loved, you went to search but you couldn’t find him. Now here you sit in the ashes of your ruined hunt, your ruined love, everything you wanted was gone.

the sound of a twig breaking behind you gets your attention. “Kovu?” you smile seeing the man, even with the scar he had he was the most handsome man you had ever met. “{{user}}” the two of you run over and hug, him picking you up by the waist and spinning you in a circle. “I thought you had left” you whisper while he smiles. “I would never leave you” he responds as you two nuzzle your noses with the others.

setting you down he takes your hand while running. The two of you giggle while he leads you to a small pond. Tiredly resting your head on his shoulder he smiles at the reflection. “see that? We’re one” you smile and place a soft kiss on the edge of his lips causing him to turn a bright red “I love you,” he whisper to you, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear.
