Chapter 5
I Can't Be That
Leaving a Lei-Lei slumbering under the cover snuggling both her Tigress figure and now her plush panda doll. Po silently close the door once him and Tigress left their daughter's room.
"Po about what I said to Zan earlier?" without a word Po briefly touches Tigress's lip with a finger to end her speech there.
Almost enjoying how a simple touch or stare from him has brought the furious female tiger to a blushing mess. Po, still not speaking, takes Tigress's paw into his before heads up the hall reaching Tigress's bedroom door. Once they both enter the room and Po closes the door. The remaining mute Tigress watches Po turn around to her, speaking.
"Ok I'm sure we can talk now, I mean you and Viper are the only ones with thicker walling. Well Crane too."
Back when Po became the Dragon Warrior and moved to the Jade Palace. It was two weeks and after Tigress and Po retrieve a statue for Shifu. That Tigress demand thicker walling to her room to block out Po talking in his sleep. Which Shifu didn't allow at first that was until Mr.Ping move in temporarily. And even though the guys was against, that is except for Crane, having thicker walling. Tigress and even Viper was happy for new walling.
Hearing this Tigress nods slightly. "Po believe when I say what Lei-Lei said I agree too. Regardless what I claim back in your father's noodle shop to Zan." However despite her words. When Po walks closer Tigress halts him by resting a paw upon his shoulder. Actions having puzzlement face meet her sad one. Causing Po to feel his heart become heavy before Tigress continues on.
"But even if I'm not taking back my love confession to you. " As she gently tightened her grip on his shoulder. Po's heart breaks. "I know you and I can't be a item. But we can still be co-parent to Lei-"
Fighting the built-up tears behind his eyes. Po suddenly drawls back and in doing this he breaks Tigress's grip on his shoulder. Rather Po knew this or didn't care Tigress wasn't sure. Nonetheless to this. She remains strong to her decision. After all, they were still friends.-
"You think all this is a joke?"
By those words if not just the hard angry tone Po gave. Tigress snaps from thought to stare in disbelief at Po.
"Joke? Where could you see that what I thought anything I said was funny?!" Yet her own anger rising by his assuming. Tigress keeps her voice above a whisper even if her growl is a bit louder a second after Po scoffs as respond to her. However this, like herself, Po keeps his voice low in volume.
"What? You can't see it?" Asks Po sarcastically. "How can you not." By now Po wasn't holding back his tears. Something even Tigress couldn't overlook, despite his angry expression staring her down. "You demand me to open my heart to you, and even if you return my feelings. You now tell me we can't be together. So how can you not think I wouldn't believe you see this between us, a joke."
"Well it's no joke. But even so, you and I can still be fri-"
No warning to her. Po swiftly moves in and without pausing, pulls Tigress into a kiss. Immediately deepening the kiss herself without a thought Tigress wraps her arms around Po's neck. Feeling the familiar of Po's busy hands stroking at the uncover fur at her hips, the female tiger moans only to be muffle by the panda's hungry mouth on hers. Their kisses forming into passionate ones, Po takes that moment, gripping her sides, to walk forward until he was pressing Tigress up against the back wall of the room. The whole time neither their lips broke from the other's.
However as the return heat, that surface once Po's lips met hers, was engulfing her entire body where her heart beats increase in speed as she was now nearly ripping into his robe to feel more of him. Po all of a sudden breaks their lip lock as well as their embrace by drawing back from her all together.
Results with a daze Tigress instantly misses his warmth that came from both his embracing arms and those tasty lips. Therefore deeply craving him a speechless Tigress locks hungry eyes to the panda. Only to find his were staring back at her, coldly. A look causing a unwanted coldness rush over her. But her eyes don't waver from his. Which shows her, despite his cold eyes remain, Po glancing down over his robe that seems to have new rips.
Basically Po is going to need another robe made for him. Briefly shakes his head at thinking how much trouble it was to find the right tailor to make his robe and its details. And the tailor wasn't even in his village. Po looks back to Tigress. But instead of meeting her eyes. Po takes in all of Tigress. Just to notice he wasn't the only one who's going to need another outfit made.
Tigress was nearly unclothed from top to bottom. Though unaware he done it during their hot kissing. Po's, busy paws not just left her top barely hanging on her person, revealing the intact wraps hiding her breasts, but had pulled her pants to be below the thighs but from the missing undergarment wraps that conceal the most sensitive part of her. This part of her was display to Po's gaze.
Forcing his gaze to meet hers once again, and clearly reading the longing and love in them and the reddish blush painting her cheeks. Po knew he couldn't go back to being just …… This way of thinking, Po narrows his stare. "Friends yeah right. Tell me Tigress? You didn't want me to stop."
Understanding what he was getting at without much detail. Tigress disregard the statement. Begins pulling up her pants, hiding once more her womanhood from view. Then, after noticing her top was a lost cause but still had her wraps covering her chest, she allows the top to join her ruin inner wraps, that she realize when she move from the wall, upon the floor.
Yes Tigress like this is sexy. But picking up she's purposely overlooking that he prove they couldn't go back to just being friends. Mostly when just a kiss between them turns anything that been friendly in the past. Into intimate now. Po glares hard, and even though it was breaking his very soul at what he's going to say. But not before letting Tigress know how deep his love for her goes. So even though Tigress was in the moment to ask Po to go so she can get some sleep. By now her past hardcore walls, that faded away once she truly admit to herself of her love for Po, was standing very strong at this moment giving her strength to stare back at Po glaring at her while her expression show unaffected by his.
However as Po's entire expression went to hurt as he begins talking. A chip made a home in one of her walls. "Being the only one who looks like me in my village. I felt like an outcast. A five year old already believe nobody could understand him, not even his classmates. And he meets another person who seems to be the only one of her kind. But where I was welcome with smiles from the villagers. This person was meet with fear and frowns. But it didn't stop me from greeting her friendly and even help her get her groceries from the market after others wouldn't sale to her."
Within Po speaking, right away two chips fell from Tigress's walls, especially as she remembers that very event Po's speaking about.
"And even though she hesitate at first. I was rewarded the most beautiful smile I ever seen. And it was as we wave goodbye to each other. I wanted her friendship."
Unknown to the panda. That same day, while Shifu was on a sole mission for the emperor and she return from the market . Oogway gave her jade gem that her parents left her. And it was there as she realize the little panda she met and befriend eyes match the same color of the Jade. Detail she told Oogway and he offer she could invite the panda to the palace tomorrow.
Unfortunately by the next day. Shifu was back but instead of letting her leave to see her friend. Shifu denied her. Before throwing heavy training onto her to become like him. And with only getting attention from him only when his training her. Tigress, yearning the little parent affection he would give her. She honestly forgot about the little panda she met. And if that wasn't bad enough. Due to them telling their names before she left the market. Tigress forgot not only meeting a panda in the village, but his name too.
By now with her heart shaken and many pieces of the two walls crumbling to dust. Tigress slowly shifts her eyes to the ground, hiding the shame and unshed tears from Po's view. But Po saw the change, however he didn't stop talking.
"It was that day afterwards. I would do anything to meet her again. Even when I became bully for defending her from kids calling her a killer like her kind was claimed to be. And though I lost friends and became the target for a certain bunny later. And yes, I'm speaking about Pen Fang. After all he was the most against and feared tigers. "
Realizing the real truth behind Pen Fang bullying Po and recalling how she enjoy watching Po be tortured by the bunny at his return to the village. Tigress let's a small whimper escape but not the built-up unshed tears. Just then Po chuckles, yet it seems bitter to her ears.
"And despite she never came back to the village. I never stop hoping I would someday see her again and gain her friendship." Po sighs, "Just my luck when I'm unsure what I want to do with my life. I unexpectedly see her again. Where she was in a field fighting a hog named Boar, along with the other current Furious five." For a brief moment Po smiles a little at the memory. "It's when she gives order to the other five to do the same kung-fu finishing move she does to take out Boar. I fell in love with kung-fu and knew what I wanted to do. To become a kung-fu master." No longer smiling Po again sighs. "After that, I became a fan-nut of anything to do with kung-fu. Created my very own action figures of the furious five. Then came the most unbelievable and amazing thing happen. I was chosen as the Dragon Warrior. But even though my dream of being a kung-fu master was coming true. It took 'her', the same I met back when I was five, wanted to be friends with, help, unknowingly, me to realize I love kung-fu and wanted to be a master."
Here Tigress close her eyes in shame. Already she knew what he was talking of before the words leave his mouth.
"Saying I'm a disgrace to kung-fu and should leave." Once again Po laughs and again there's no humor in his tone. "It's actually funny that those words by her. Had me feeling like giving up. But thanks to Oogway and his wise words to me. Giving me the strength to stay and try. Of course I became Dragon Warrior once defeating Tai-Lung and with it earn respect from others including her. Who, unknown to me, became special to me. However I don't become aware of this until, after she claimed me a friend, I almost lost her when took-" Po tries not to, but stop talking as his words caught in his throat. Even now, once opening and finally speaking his mind and heart to Tigress, Po still could feel how scared he was when she had took the shot meant for him back in Gongmen City.
When he finds his voice, Tigress was staring his way. Making their eyes have no choice but to meet the others. "There seeing her powerless and barely able to even move. I knew then I would give my life up for you. It was then my friendly feelings for you." Holding her gaze, Po narrow his eyes. "Grew into deep love. So no, I can't go back to being just friends."
Halt here closing his eyes as if defeated, Po turns his back to Tigress. But before he opens the door and leaves. He adds, "And whatever's keeping you from accepting we're more than friends but lovers. I hope it's really worth it to you. And don't worry. I'll act like nothing happen around the others, including Lei-Lei. After all I kept my love for you conceal before now. So it won't be too hard to go back wearing a mask right, Ti?"
It's not until after Po is gone. Tigress finally falls to the floor sobbing silently to herself as her walls were nonexistence by now. But no matter how her heart was suffering. Tigress wouldn't allow herself to rush after Po. Instead, though tears continues freely leaving her eyes, like she use to do back at the orphanage. She drags herself to an empty corner in the room and fall into restless sleep.
To be continued….
