I Warn You To Who Is Reading This Story! Boy x Boy relationships are from this chapter and on out.
Authored Lion King III
It's been a few weeks since the death of Queen Kiara. Everyone had come to accept the fact that the savior queen was gone and that the savior king was either missing or dead. The pride and the animals now looked to the new king and queen for guidance. It was rocky the first week but King Loki is getting the hang of things with the help of Kopa and Mufasa. Sarafina volunteered to show Sherise the way of ruling. Loki and Sherise had accepted the responsibility of the Pride Lands. But Loki still grieved for his adopted mother. The cubs didn't know what to do. Thomas and Skye were the closest to the late queen. And from that the two grew a close bond. But as life was moving on some hearts never fully healed.

Day after day, week after week Coulson watched Mheetu sneak away. He never asked where he go but one day he just followed. Coulson followed the creamy brown lion to the borders of the Outlands and Pride Lands where the younger lion was bawling his eyes out. The light cream lion felt his heart ache at the sight before his eyes.
"Mheetu..."
The creamy brown lion's ears flickered before he lifted his head to see the older lion looking down at him with concern.
"Coulson?"
The light cream lion smiled lightly before sitting. "You run off to here to cry. Why?"
Mheetu sighed. "So I won't seem weak. It's my job to be strong for the pride...imagine what I would look like crying in front of everyone"
Coulson lowered his gaze. "You're...grieving. They will understand, everyone and the strongest warriors need time to grieve"
Mheetu looked up with hopeful green eyes. "You don't think I'm weak?"
Coulson shook his head. "Not at all. I think you're quite brave and I'm sorry for your lost. Kiara must of been special"
Mheetu nodded before looking to the sky. "She took me in after Simba and my mother abandoned me. She's the only family I knew"
Tears began to fall and matted the young lion's fur. Coulson frowned and before he knew what he was doing he nuzzled into Mheetu's ginger brown mane. Mheetu closed his eyes and leaned in. Laying his head on Coulson's mild brown mane. Things are starting to brighten up in the prince's life.
~O~
Even in the Eastern Land things were brightening up. Nala sat on a ledge as she watched Hans and Nuka drag Simba out of his prison cave.
"Where are we taking him?" asked the dark grey lion
The creamy grey lioness smiled at her follower and son in law. "Take him back to the Pride Lands"
The lions nodded before continuing to drag the older lion away as Vitani approached her mother.
"Are you sure that's a wise thing?"
Nala smiled at her daughter as she rubbed her lower stomach. "I got what I wanted"
