Few hours later/Diego's POV
I can't wait to show flower what I have done to this place.i have work all week secretly to get this place has been a pain to do this alone but rewarding.i feel like she going to be so happy.I do a little dance,Flower saw because she giggled.
"We almost there"I chirped
Flower face was expected because I told her we going to laid under a about using a red herring to distract someone from a surprise. We are so close to the actually place I need to disappear soon.
Flower's POV
Why does Diego seem so happy about a tree. look at the leaves it was kind of cute when he was a cub.
Flashback
I felt something tugging on my ear.I tried to ignore it I was not much of morning hyena back then still are not tugging turn into more of a bite was worser than scraping yourself against thorns.I woke up to see a not so innocent looking Diego who just turn three months which meant he could go out the so eager to explore since he could open his would try all day to get to get very far but he was determined at me to trying wake me up.I lazily putted my paw up. he ran straight into it and fell he got back up on his paws then look at me with sense of doubt just three months and He already less naive than most one year olds I know and never let anything upset him show most of the time.
"Get up Flower,I want to get outside and catch a lizard or something"he enthusiastically said
"Ok Diego I will take you out today,just five more minutes please"I begged.
"Why,need to dream more about Banzai"He started mocking"Ohh Banzai let me have your pups and be your mate for life"
I froze in embarrassment and could not think of a what I want but not as badly as Diego made it .going to see Diego's uncle ,I kind want a lion as a mate since seems so natural being around them all the time.I caught Diego trying to bite my leg so I let out a growl.
He stood back and really phases cub that age but a growl usually tells them to back off attempted again.I let out a more playful growl and Diego smiled at me.I slowly got up on all fours milking the time to make Diego wait to go outside the cave Then being impatience he started circling me,trying to make me hurry up.I started walking and Diego had a huge grin on his face. I really wish he show that grin more often. we slowly walked towards the entrance of the cave I could heard humming coming from Diego.I could barely make out the got brigther and brigther as we got closer to the was very blinding when we reach the entrance as at that point the sun was shining right on the entrance of the cave.I mean really we couldn't have gone out at a worse point of the day and seriously we slept almost half of the day away. I was a lazy back then but i could be through diego was a cub,he pretty much eat, played and slept all i was babysitting he took a nap i took a nap.
I look at Diego who was running into a pile of leaves that had fallen of the only tree near us for said it was a ancient tree around about one hundred years old.I smiled at Diego who was jumping in and out of the leaf pile.i could not help but giggle at a cub being so easily amused at leaves.
Flashback end/Flower's POV
As we carry on walking I start noticing that this place look very extremely famillar. the smells,sounds,structure of the place. It felt like the world had slowed down for me. I could hear every little mouse squeak to my own heartbeat. I was at my old home with i grew up with my mother and is a suprise from Diego choosing our night out in a place like this. I could feel tears fall on to my cheeks.i really hope Diego isn't looking because this would be embrassing,he does not like when i get emotional about stuff.I don't why he does through.I quietly let out a turned to around to check if i was ok.I saw the look on his face although he is a full grown lion sometimes he still acts like a cub.I don't is it because his mother was never around to look after him or did he go through that much as a cub his brain didn't really develop with his body.I don't know and i dont really care.
He turn around slowly and started walking towards me. I think he wish i was a lot happy about the suprise since it was a place where me and him spent countless nights alone while my mother was out. We did some thing let say we shouldn't have done. As he got closer. I felt my blood boil and my legs go weak. I don't know why but everytime he comes close to body just gives in on just that thing about him that I can't put into dosen't try to show off like most male hyenas around me. Maybe it just the mysteryious but attractive nature about him that draws me.I look up I realised our noses are touching.I can feel him breathing down my neck. Why can't he just kiss me already.
"Flower" Diego whispered to me
" yes" I said hoping he would try be seducive
"I need you to wait here while i sort out something" he calmly said.
My ears fall flat as I hear that but maybe he waiting out for something else because if he brought us here it must be something really special.I look over at him as went the side entrance of the cave probably due to the throns at the main etrance to the cave.
" This a lot smaller than i remember it" I heard then a thump.I couldn't help but laugh at him since he first found that side entrance when he was probably look massive to him then.I hear a few ruffles,loud bang and growl from Diego.
"you can come in now" Diego shouted.
I could feel a rush of emotions. This is the first time since my mother' death that i have entred the cave.I still remember the day she died. she was so calm about dying is almost had a huge bite on her neck because she killed the queen of the east waterfall pride (Diego's mother) so treason. she came home with blood pouring out of neck like a was unbelive how see she could escape from the pride and walk all the way to the the time me and Diego saw her all her shoulder and front left leg was covered in laided down and told Diego to look after rushed from my neck.i couldn't believe to see her in so much just stare at her not making a lasts words were " Diego try and not leave her alone too much with fainted smile" then her eyes shut and her neck fell to the ground.I look at Diego who still wasn't showing any kind movement or emotions I burst out into tears and ran over to Diego who still was not moving and he suprisly started stroking my back to comfort me. for a guy that dosen't really do anything but snap at you that meant alot.
"Flower are you coming" Diego popped his his head out of entrance
I shot Diego a look and he must of understood what i was getting across some how.
"oh I forgot about that" Diego look sadly to ground also He was quite.
I gradually made my way to side entrance of the cave where Diego was waiting for me. As i got closer to him he started to let a weak smile slowly made his way back into the cave with me close I really wonder what he has done to been disappearing very recently and frequenctly to work on what he calls his so-called "project".In a few moments I'm going to see how he transformed the place. As i get to the entrance i take a deep and long breath not knowing what is install for me.I open my eyes to see that diego did a amazing job of the was all the painting on the wall from the one's I made with my mother as a pup next to that was the only painting i did with my father before he disappeared .I've only reacently got told the reason my father he used to hit my mum sometimes just for the sake of it before Diego's uncle came to see my mother while he was hitting her and Diego's uncle broke his jawline that badly he couldn't eat explains why she use to say the marks where from hunting.
I look further across the cave wall where me and my friend used to first hunt was there,the first time we entered a lion terrority but my favourite has be the three pawprints on there own side of the is my pawprint,My mothers pawprint even Diegos little pawprint look a at more paintings we did that back then so many ,I heard a thump.I look over to see Diego struggling to carry a massive buffalo so I went to go help him.I tried to pick up a front leg just to ease the weight but Diego growled at me so I let him get on with was cute that to see try act so gentleman like .carefully dragged across cave floor slowly then placed on the ground.
"dinner is served"Diego bowed
I swayed towards him moving my hips side to side seeing if It'll grab his to take little outof all males do i have the one that is near enough immune to flirting .I gave it another try to if the reason he wasn't he look at me his eyes didn't even that worked.I gave up.I just walk over to him smell of having your favorite food after you haven't it in a while is amazing.
"you got something wrong with your legs"He laughed minicking my motion
I felt flattern and insulted at the same time with that statement not really new from Diego though.
"so this is where you have disappear off to for the last few nights" I asked
"yep" is all he answered back
"well i think you done a amazing job" I grinned
He mumbled something that just couldn't make out the words he was saying to could been something directed towards me or something pretty saying something pretty sweet. I let out a small laugh. Diego just looked at me like he dosen't even want to be here
"shall we tuck in" I said with a half smile.
I slowly eye up the buffalo which must been a male juding by the size of it.I open mouth and starting ripping into tasted so good even through it probably a day blood rush out of the part were I bit into yet safsing to see it run like a waterfall.I look at Diego who look like he was checking me out but I decided not to say anything due to fact i find it quite enjoyable.I carry on eating my when in feel something on my deciced to snuggle up to me as if he were a cub. I chewed the meat a little more since it was a really fatty part then swallowed.
"So do you like Zira" I asked with curiousity
" Do you find her attractive" I asked without letting him answer
" Do you see yourself having a family with her" I rambled
Diego look at me with a stern look
" Drop the act flower, I know you don't like her" Diego huffed
I rolled my eyes back at him,for pointing out the obivious.
"The answer to your questions are yes,yes and bit late to say no"Diego snapped
" I was only asking no need to get grumpy" I shouted
why oh why did today need to be the I pissed off Diego.I'm in heat for god should be mating passionly not stuck arguing over his patheic crush.I see diego put his head in his paws and started mumble to himself now a I have a cub with me Then a idea hit me to cheer both of us up.I removed his paws from his face and while his eyes are closed and passionately kiss him but since he made no attempt to kiss back I moved in closer and started to stroke his mane.I pulled out to catch my is he trying to make this a so unenjoyable.I went back in for other kiss but he pulled other day I would just given up,tonight was not one of those nights.
"Please could you stop thinking about Zira" I tried to ask politely
"It's not that"he mumbled " I'm worry if I'll be a good Dad"
" Your great with Lucy I'm sure you will just fine" I smiled
I stood over him.I will admit my temper was running a little short with him but he was being stubborn on our night alone.I lowered my head trying to kiss him on the resisted. I continued trying to kiss him but he shuffled.I putted my paws on his shoulders and pressed hard.I got closer to his bit one. I open my mouth.
"Mate with me Diego"I slowly whispered into his ear
He shook his head also he started to wriggle out of my faced look so miserable now what did I do wrong.I can't believe come to have a nice night out and behaves like a forcefully pushes me off then stands up.I try one last time to kiss him but he pulls away.I really was starting to fill up in angry
"Diego your being pathetic,Lets just have a good night"I grinned without actually knowing
"All you want to do is mate"Diego responded quickly
That's all you do it's when I wanted to do its a crime
" Nothing wrong with a decent meal and a bit of love making"I huffed
"All I wanted was to come out and have a relaxed time"Diego said looking away
I was really sick of Diego constant thinking a walk over to him,Saw a look of concern on his face,Showed my teeth,unsheathed my claws and clawed across him face.I must have hit him hard because when I usually hit him he doesn't flinch .A few seconds later I saw something red on Diego's a few minutes he didn't seems to move. He glared at the blood dripping from his cheek .Slowly,it was making a puddle on floor.
" I guess I'm not want here" Diego stuttered
He slowly walked over to the buffalo as well as not taking his eyes off me because maybe he thought I'll claw him look is eyes is like when he first saw me poor didn't what especially when having mood swings.I wish we were that close He picked up a buffalo leg while still looking at me also the blood on his cheek was pouring worser now.I tried to walk over to him to clean him up and comfort him for what I did.I know a grown lion but rasied him from a little cub so he is my baby.I got closer and closer trying to not make him my surprise he seemed to me let get closer to him. I notice he started shaking their is no way he can be actually scared of me. I was up to his front paws.I look him in eyes with I am sorry look but he started to shake even more.I turned his head with my paw then tried to lick the blood off his cheek.
"Grrr,oooow,grr" Diego grumbling for how sensitive the cut was.
As I was licking he seemed to unwind slightly.I could tell he still looking at me through the corner of my eye.I was really shocked to see like this vulnerable side of him.I didn't even know he had emotions.i carry on licking the blood off his cheek but was really tempted to kiss him.I changed from small constant licks to one big lick.I must of hit a really sensitive spot as slowly watch the buffalo leg drop from his mouth And thump to the ground.I took the opportunity to place a kiss on Diego but decided to stay in that position to see how he would out of fear that I'll claw him again So he cooperative with me.
I felt him smoothly put his paw on the back of my neck then ran it down to my back. his size paws it had certain elegance to it.I tried to push him back to the ground again but he try to growl at me.I carried on trying to get us into a more 'comfortable' position. Diego growled again but this he removed his paw from my hip also pulled out of the kiss, grabbed his buffalo leg and stromed out of the cave.
I sat there watching him strom out of the cave. he had put up a better fight then he ususally does when i'm in heat.I think the main reason he resisted me so much was because he was in love with Zira.
"Diego in love"I couldn't but let out a laugh.I waited a few minutes before i started to stand up just to make sure Diego was gone.I took this oppriunty to check out more of the paintings.I begin to walk over one of my favorite one with me and Diego not long after I gave birth to Bethan and painting showed me,Lucy,Bethan and Diego with circle around it and Diego said the circle around shows we are a family.I sub-conshsly placed my paw on the painting.
"they were easy time for us"I said out loud to I removed my paw i felt the urgue of my heat come back to me.I casually walked towards the entrance of the i got to the entrance I felt a breeze brush againist my face. I wondered due to Diego's skinny frame if he was freezing to death.I started heading in the direction of the pridelands.
few hours time skip
As i started get to the boarder of the pridelands.I noticed a figure waiting clearly a hyena just by the pointy ears.I gulped hoping it wasn't shenzi since she has a job to make sure no leaves the figure looked over at me.I was said anyone caught outside the boarders was punished by death but i believe it was to scare the lionesses but never can be too figure was getting closer and i was getting a clearly view of was had frustued look on her face.
"Where have you been?"She questioned with more of worry look.
"Home" I replied with whimper
"where Diego"She continued to question
"What he hasn't shown up yet" I said
"No i thought he be with you" Shenzi look back at me in confusion
I fell slient for a few monments not wanting to look her in the eyes.
"What did you do" Shenzi asked with a hint of disappioment
"Well...he refused to mate me so I... him" I mumbled
"FLOWER,It not fair on him for you to keep doing this" She shouted then calmed down
I refused to let her get to me with that statement.
"Have you seen Banzai"I diverted quickly
"you just love messsing around with that poor lions head"She rambled on
I just smiled at her while she was talking about me and Diego
"So do you know where Banzai is or not" I smiled
Shenzi sighed and rolled her eyes at me knowing I was not listening.I followed behind her as she lead to me to we were walking I look over at a group of lionesses i saw Spotty one of Diego long time friends.I really want to ask her if she had seen Diego but with current postion of the lionesses and the hyenas behavoiur between each other i knew better.I look at Shenzi.I didn't realised how far behind i i tried to catch up,I wondered how to talk to Banzai since early I smack him across the walked to a group of hyenas that look a bit stopped and every hyena looked at her.
"Where is Banzai" Shenzi asked with authory in her voice.
"Over here" A voice replied
Me and Shenzi looked over at were here voice was coming was Banzai looking bad-boy as usual. I looked over at was using her head to point in the direction of Banzai. I gupled and started walking over to his direction.I felt many eyes were watching me as i walk past. I didn't know a lot of the hyenas from Shenzi clan but all them knew me but why wouldn't they I have lion i use for private walked over to me to much of females around him took a quick sniff at first he looked puzzled then he smiled at me.
"So Diego denied his masters orders then"Banzai laughed
"yes to much of your amusament" I coldly repiled
"Whats the matter Flower lost you touch with him?" He continuned to tease
"No he just distracted by other females" I said while putting head under his chin
"so why did you want to see?" Banzai quickly changed the subject
"Well...I wanted to apolised for early and wondered...if you still wanted to...m..a..t...e with m...e"I slowly asked
"I thought i lost that privlige after disowning Lucy" He reminded me
"I was in mood"I quickly mumbled
Banzai then said "Follow me then"
Banzai turned around and started walking.I closely followed behind as my front paw nearly touched his back paw.i don't where we where going but where ever it was banzai was dermentined to get he started to pick up the pace so did I.I could feel the wind passing through my fur as if we where hunting a zebra. I eyed banzai's back legs as if he was my prey.i started speeding up to try hunt banzai down.i saw him turn a coner i jumped at legs causing him to he hit the floor i jumped on top of him.
"are we mating or what?" i asked
"let me up then" he responsed
i slowly got off him while he got up i could see every outline of his musclars something i have missed while beening with diego who is naturally small don't get me wrong diego is attractive in own ways but a bit of male who is taller is nice every so often started walking around to the back of me.I couldn't help but blush a little then he proceed to mount me
mating process begins
I kiss banzai one more time before dismounted himself for both smiled at other then went our seprate ways.I could not wait to see diego and rub in his face on what he missed out on. I carried on walking thinking about where all went wrong with me and Diego that night.I wasn't strict enough on him as usually .ii shoul ask what was on his bad idea he would think i actually he knows that shouldn't disobey did he get his bravey from.I was so lost in thought i didn't realise i was at the cave.I looked at the entrance at the cave and listened for anything seemed too quiet so i walked to find the walls of the cave had been covered in paw and bethan was quietly talking in far back of the was tying to feels Ziras cubs move.i let a cough also lucy turned to look at me.
"mommy" Lucy jumped up and ran at me.
"nice to see you too sweetheart" I looked down while bringing her closer with my paw
I look around the cave then look Zira "where is diego?"
Zira looked at me confused " I thought he was with you"
On cue Diego walked into the cave.
"hey handsome" i said smiling at him
"you smell like banzai" he grumbled
he tried to walk past me but i stood on his front paws.
" you know who atrractive you look with them claw marks" i said trying to make him feel good"don't you think Zira" Zira shook her head and Diego gupled
"well maybe they're deeper enough cuts" i said lifting diego head up with my paw.i moved my paw across diego cheek then again but time i drag claws across his cheek and kiss him." you are excused for tonight"i removed my paw from his face. diego walked over to lay next to last thing i saw was Lucy running over to me before i shut my eyes.
