Love Struck Snow Leopard: moments with Po

Part two: Acceptance

"I still can't believe he didn't kill him" Tigress said with a huff and crossed her arms

"Tigress, you go on and on about it, give it a rest. Tai Lung is living here now" Crane mumbled.

"Po let him stay, we don't have any other choice but to agree in the matter" Viper continued, coiling around herself to make it seem she was taller.

Tigress stepped forward in a frustrated movement of her paw "But how could he?! Po was supposed to defeat Tai Lung, not make friends with him. What if Tai Lung goes on another rampage?" She was the only person left that had a real problem with the snow leopard. Perhaps it was because he had beaten her at that bridge.

Just then Tai Lung, followed by Po, walked into the little kitchen "Hey" Po greeted cheerfully as normal. Tai Lung simply nodded.

The rest of the five, save for Tigress, greeted in return.

"What's for breakfast today Po?" Monkey asked, having become extremely fond of the panda's cooking.

Po smiled "Dumplings and Noodles" and took his usual station in front of all the kitchen objects to work his magic.

Tai Lung sat crossed legged next to Tigress and closed his eyes with a smile. The other feline looked at him, with hate in her eyes.

Po saw this with a frown; he didn't like it when his friends were upset. This just pushed the fact that they wouldn't be ok with their relationship. None of them knew that he and Po were an item yet. He didn't see, nor did anyone else, Tai Lung look back at Po and see his frown.

"I heard you, by the way" someone spoke "Talking about me"

Everyone besides Po froze as Tai Lung continued while opening his blue eyes "You shouldn't have such little faith in people Tigress. By rejecting me, you're also rejecting Po's generosity and kindness; since that is the reason I'm still alive and here today. Is that what you really want Tigress? To show disrespect against someone who cares about you and the valley? It's also extremely unwise to hold grudges against people for one reason or the other. It's much more acceptable to simply ask yourself why you do these things, and are they truly worth it. I owe my life to Po; I wouldn't do anything to upset him. I don't like it when he doesn't smile, and it would be worse if that frown would be directed at me...I would be a fate worse than death." The snow leopard ended his little speech and closed his eyes again.

"If your not going to like me on purpose Tigress, at least make the effort for Po's sake"

Tigress's eyes were wide at being 'told off' like that. Tai had turned around to look at Po, and opened an eye just to wink it secretly from the other eyes in the room with one of those 'I love you' smiles

Po looked back at his boyfriend with a bigger smile than before. A rather large urge to forget the stupid food and hug and kiss the other grew.

At least he didn't have to worry about Tigress not liking Tai Lung anymore. He'd have to thank his snow leopard this afternoon in his own special way, for the male that made him feel special.
