Author's note: This is my first Bambi fanfiction, like, ever. I worked really hard to try to make it understandable, so feel free to post any reviews you may have! This is going to be a Ronno X Bambi fanfic, so just be warned of that ^^

Ronno: 19
Bambi: 18
Faline:18
Marie:19

Well that didn't go as planned.

The forest was silent as a warm summer breeze blew through the air, chilling those around and bringing no comfort to the already awkward situation one particular forest dweller was already in. Ronno stood there in silence, attempting to think of a follow-up the what he now realized was a really weird question.

"Did... Did you really just ask me to have lunch with you?" Bambi asked, raising one brow and tilting his head slightly. "After everything you put me through before? You do remember that it was the fight YOU started that got us attacked by dogs?"

Ronno turned his head away, shame painted accross his face as he remembered that day.

"Further more, I also have a girlfriend, you know-"

"N-NO! " Ronno cut Bambi off before he could finish. "I didn't mean it in THAT way, I ain't gay or nothin'."

"And what's wrong with being gay?" Bambi seemed more agitated now, he'd really gotten a lot bolder since the last time Ronno had spoken to him...

"Nothin! I mean, ugh, I just wanna try and make up for all the times where I was a jerk to ya."

Bambi stayed silent, staring down the darker buck who was now beginning to sweat nervously. Ronno had never actually felt so intimidated before, usually if someone looked at him like that he'd immediatly challenge em', but this was Bambi he was talking to. In truth, the entire reason he had been such a jerk was because he had a crush on the aforementioned buck, and simply didn't have the social skills necessary to show his affection. That and he was blinded by jealousy of how much time Bambi spent with Feline.

It'd been six whole years since the spring that Bambi finally got his antlers and had hooked up with Faline, six whole years since Ronno had made all those stupid decisions.

"Fine."

Ronno looked up quickly, having been startled by the sudden response. "Really? Awesome! We can walk to the meadow together, I know this awesome place where we can-"

"I'll meet you there" Bambi said cutting him off. "I have no idea if you're still as unstable as I remember, a prince always has to take caution when approaching his enemies."

"Oh, okay then... It's just passed the large rock north of the field, a small stream located about half a mile behind where the does play" Ronno's gaze was glued to the grass.

Bambi nodded, and he and Ronno parted ways.

"Phew" Ronno sighed in relief when he was far enough away to where he knew Bambi wouldn't hear. "Finally got that out of the way, now it's time to prove to him that I can be a good friend..." He gulped and looked up, straightening himself and puffing out his chest slightly in an attempt to look confident. "And even maybe something more."
