Prompt from Eclipsedstars: could you please do a ScarxNala one-shot where scar is a few years younger and Nala a few years older

…..

Scar couldn't believe this was happening.

Being the king's 'baby' brother was hard enough, and he honestly never expected to find someone. When little Simba was born, his chances of finding a mate decreased.

They had very few young females left and none of them were interested in Scar in the slightest.

The only one he hadn't had the courage to try and court, was Nala.

Nala was the youngest of all the females, only recently come into adulthood.

If no other females were born into the Pride, she would be expected to marry Simba.

Maybe it would be better if he left the Pride… try and strike out on his own.

"Taka! Taka!"

Flinching at the sound of his real name, Scar spun around, to see the lioness in question eagerly making her way over to him.

"You're being very quiet out here." She moved to sit next to him, not seeming to notice the shocked look on his face.

"I-I was just looking at the stars."

"Hmmm? You looked very stern for someone who was just looking at the stars." She teased playfully, "Go on… you can tell me."

"I… I was just thinking about this land would be so much darker without them."

Nala was silent for a moment, watching as a star shot across the sky, "Make a wish!" She exclaimed cheerfully, watching as Scar shut his eyes.

A few moments, passed, before she piped up again, "So, what did you wish for?"

"I can't tell you. If I do, it won't come true."

"Fine." Nala pouted, before perking back up, "We should get back into the cave." She got to her feet, pausing to glance back at Scar, "Sleep next to me?"

How could Scar resist.
