Note: Yep, you guessed it I don't own KFP

I thought I'd do a Po supportive role this time…it takes place a few days after 'nightmare' and is before 'coming out'

Love Struck Snow Leopard: Moments with Po

Part 9: Returning the favour

--

Tai Lung lay awake in his futon. Well, their futon.

Po and his

It was dark outside, and their room had a clear view of the moon through the window. Tai Lung cast his eyes upwards towards the night blue sky, silently wondering about the heavens above and how they would treat him in his death. With that, how the others would treat him, the other's besides Po if they knew.

He took the time to listen to his panda's soft almost silent, but surely there, breath. That always soothed him greatly, listing to that soft air going in and out at a relaxed pace….

Something bothered him though, the pace wasn't normal to sleeping, and it was irregular…and trying too hard to pass as sleeping.

Po was awake

"Po?" Tai lung softly whispered from behind his love

There wasn't an immediate response, but Po whisper back "Hmm?"

"Are you awake?"

"I am now"

"No, I mean were you awake before I spoke"

Po shifted lightly "Yea…"

Tai Lung sighed, wondering what was wrong this time. He didn't mind though. The feline actually liked solving Po's uncertainties. It made him feel special and needed in a way and having the reward of seeing Po smile again and sometimes, when they were feeling that way, Po would let the snow leopard have his way with the panda. That always pleased Tai lung.

"Why?" Tai Lung softly asked

"I was listening to you breath…" Po answered

Tai Lung rose a brow in curiosity "You were? Why on earth would you do that Po?"

"You're not sleeping either…that's why I'm awake…why aren't you asleep Tai?" Po asked in a childish voice that Tai Lung had never managed to resist finding adorable.

"I'm…just thinking Po" Tai Lung replied while he stroked Po's side.

Po shifted more, a lot more force put into it so he could completely turn around to face Tai Lung "Bout what?"

Tai Lung smiled softly, Po's eyes were gleaming unusually bright that night "What's in store for the rest of my life…how the other's will react and treat us when they find out about our relationship as they are bound to…It's already quite a blessing to get another chance with Master Shifu, and hearing that he forgave me and such. I'm not sure how he would react, or the rest of the furious five for that matter"

Po pondered what to say and once he did, he leaned over and licked Tai Lung's nose, then his spotted cheek, then tried to catch his whiskers in his maw, eventually getting them in without them slipping out and smiled at his mate.

Tai Lung resisted the urge to chuckle, as that would have slipped his whiskers out Po's maw. That amazed him so, how Po could look so childish and cute at his age, as if he was still a cub. "What are you doing Po?"

Po smiled wider, letting go of the now slightly damp whiskers and leaned in once more to press a deep kiss to his kitten. Tai Lung purrrred and eagerly but sleepily kissed back, plundering Po's mouth with his tongue. The kiss lasted for a while, soft wet slurping sounds creating the only noise in the room.

Po drew back, so a small trail of saliva connected their lips and spoke "You're always there for me Tai. Making me feel better, believing in me, praising me, telling me how wonderful I am. Well now it's my turn. I want you to know just how wonderful you are to me. If the rest can't accept how we are, then that's just their problem. I think Shifu will understand cause he's just like that. The other five don't' really even count in this situation. You don't need their or anyone else's permission to be happy Tai, your happiness rests only on two people's shoulders. Yours, and mine" Po took a soft grip on Tai Lung's shoulders, then moved his black paws down to the other's chest and rested his head there.

The perfect pillow

"I love you…G'night" Po spoke once more before yawning and drifting off to sleep on the comfortable chest of spotted fur.

Tai Lung smiled with a soft purr and petted the panda between his ears "Thank you…I love you too…sweet dreams, my angel" the feline softly whispered, suddenly feeling drowsy and with the warm mass of warmth and love next to him, he didn't think he would have to say up and think anymore.
