It had been months earlier that Private had figured out to his shock that he had developed a rather large crush on Maurice out of all animals. He always felt safe, and comforted around the grumpy Lemur. Although with King Julian always around he never got the chance to be alone with him.

This crush had long stayed dormant as he was 100% sure Maurice didn't like him like that, even if he did swing that way King Julian would have a better chance with him then he did.

Sometimes he wondered if the 2 were dating. And then he would disregard that thought as it would hurt to much to think about.

The moment he found out marise was dying it was like the shorter penguins heart stopped, his mind kept wrapping around the idea that he would never get to tell the Lemur how he felt. The last thing Maurice needed on his last day was a crush drama.

Private could barely stand his legs shaky when he found out that the lemur wasn't going to die after all. It was all a misunderstanding thanks to the humans

advertising.

He still had time.

And as the group took in the marise wasn't going to die after all the Sun rising, After a tiring night trying to get the orchid.

Privates emotions took over.

Without thinking about it without thinking of the consequences his emotions shifts taking over, Private stumbled over to the exhausted marise who had been forced to party all night and looked like he was about to fall over in a dead sleep.

Grabbing the lemur by the shoulders private Preston speak up against the older males mouth. He ignored all the sharp gases. And try not to laugh at the way king Julien whistled. He tried putting all his emotion. His relief and his feelings in this one kiss.

When private pulled back the Penguin panic realising the severity of what he just did. And how awkward it might be for the 2 to be around one another if he didn't have the same feelings.

What had he been thinking?!?

"I am glad your ok". Privates soft tone stunning the Lemur and before Maurice could say a word the Penguin slid away towards their habitat ignoring when he heard his name called.

Jumping onto their platform Private shot down the bunker entrance.

His heart hammering in his chest he dove under his blanket a feeling of humiliation and embarrassment.

What did he just do?!?
