This is a prompt following a picture illustrated by peace-on in Tumblr, and of course since it is Valentine's day, I can't resist to do a little snippet, a really short one, to depict the love between my favourite OTP!

"I love you." His voice was warm, full of content and hopeful, all at once.

The words had fallen from his lips before, but in low whispers when she limped against his comfy shoulder, quietly snored as they cuddle up under the Sacred Peach Tree.

I love you….

Other times they'd fallen was when he saw her in the distance, when he risked stealing a glance during the training, among the galloping breaths and battle cries, and he simply couldn't fathom a simple life happiness she had brought him.

I love you….

Or when he pulled her to join the dance and she glanced away long enough, the music was loud enough to drown his voice so the words he said safely drifted away.

The words had fallen in hush breaths, between thundering heartbeats and shivering lips… but this?

There was no quiet whispers, no sleepy confession, no hushed voice…. no hesitation. It was never easy to say it, but he did. Because he didn't want Tigress to remember him as a distant hero, China's mighty Saviour, he was merely Po Ping.

He never wanted to be perfect… he wanted to be real.

He'd been embarrassed if it dawned upon him when her eyes widened, cheek bloomed and then she answered him with a kiss. A long, lingering, warm kiss.

She was brave, unyielding, high-spirited, courageous… and clearly, she was the sun in his sky.

She chuckled, both contented and mischievous. "I know," her large paws twined, squeezing his, strong yet gentle. After the distraction of her touches subsided, the words finally registered.

"Wait, what did you say?" Po was sure his eyes couldn't get any bigger."You knew? But? How -?"

"Do you honestly think I really fell asleep when you said it? And how could I miss something that important?" she smiled.

And that pleasant, elating feeling wrapped him when he saw the familiar curve of her smile.

"I love you Big Dope," she laughed, resting her head on his shoulder.

"Huh? Really?" Po replied dumbly. And Po couldn't help it. He couldn't help to smile at her euphoric laughter, to admire at her unbridled boldness, to fell in love with her never ending charm.

She never answered him with a word, because she much rather did it with a kiss.
