A/N: SHOUT OUT TO MY FOLLOWER! Thanks for reading, guys! After this chapter, the posting will be a little sporadic as I try to keep what little social life I have. I will update soon, though!
Twenty minutes later, her bag laid packed on her clean bed. Her attention was called to the window at the setting sun glinting off of the mountains. That was the reason she picked the room, of course.
She glanced to the scroll sitting on her bed and sighed.
Part of her wondered if she should tell Po about him.
Po. His name drew another sigh. Lately, it seemed like things between them were changing. Since they came back from the panda village almost six months ago, he was way more affectionate. She was growing used to his hugs when he suddenly began holding her hand. Of course, it was only when the others weren't around. If she couldn't sleep, he would join her on the roof to look at the stars. The other night on the way back from dinner, he kissed her cheek.
She honestly didn't know what to think about it. This affection was very new to her. What brought it on, she didn't know, but it confused her at the sudden increase of it.
Since they were going to be heading to the Imperial place and meeting the man she had kept secret for so many years, she decided to tell him. After all, that happened almost ten years ago.
Mind made up, she went to leave the room, Instead of heading out the doorway, she ran right into a large body. Speak of the devil.
"Sorry." Po stepped back slightly. "You okay?" His brow creased in worry.
"I'm fine." She shrugged and stepped back. "I actually was coming to talk to you."
"Oh? What about?"
"Did Shifu tell you? About us going to the Emperor?" she asked.
"Yeah he did and I am SO EXCITED." Po's green eyes lit up. He did a little happy dance, muttering about good food and maybe a new robe and-
"Po," He stopped his dancing and looked at her. "there's something I have to tell you before we leave." She took a deep breath and sat on her bed, hands folded. "You know the Emperor's son, Liang?"
"Yeah?"
"Well, when I went to the Imperial city for the first time, we kind of had a thing." She avoided his eyes, afraid of his reaction.
"A thing?"
"You know," she took a breath," a thing." She looked up at him, waiting for his response. He just looked at her.
"Well that was a long time ago, right?"
She nodded. "Ten years."
"Well then, I'm glad you told me, but it really doesn't matter now."She breathed a sigh of relief. "Come on. I made dinner."
He took her hand and led her towards the kitchen, but her thoughts were still racing. Maybe she should have told him everything, but at least he knew the basics.
There would be plenty of time on the journey to the palace for that conversation.
