A/N:Aww. I'm glad you like Mheetu, CSIMentalistTLK lover. He's so sweet it hurts.
Disgraceful Prince
Mheetu followed Malka to the southern borders. There was a very light cream lioness waiting. Mheetu was amazed how beautiful she was. After giving the lioness a nuzzle, Malka looked at the creamy brown cub.
"Mheetu meet Nabii. She's my mate"
"Wow. I never met albino before"
"Mheetu!"
Nabii chuckled after giving her mate a reassuring the pale orange male before smiling sweetly at the cub.
"I'm not actually a albino. But my dad was"
Mheetu pinned his dark brown rimmed ears and blushed. "Oh"
Malka chuckled before ruffling the creamy brown tuff on the prince's head. "It's alright, buddy"
"Malka. When are you leaving?"
Malka inhaled and exhaled. "Soon. Don't worry I'll be there"
Nabii sighed before giving Malka a nuzzle and ran off towards the mountains. Malka took a deep breath before looking at Mheetu who had his ears still pinned.
"Mheetu, what's wrong?"
Mheetu looked up with teary eyes. "You're leaving?"
Malka nodded. "Yes. My father was the king of the mountain pride. Now that he is dead, I must take his place"
"Oh. Will I see you again?"
Malka smiled before giving the prince a nuzzle. "Sure. You can even come with me"
Mheetu frowned, he could never leave his mama. The small cub was about to voice his thoughts when a loud roar erupted through the sky and rain started to pour.
"Let's get back to Pride Rock"
Before Mheetu could protest, he was picked up by Malka and the pale orange lion took off towards the mountain structure.
~O~
When Malka and Mheetu returned to Pride Rock a whole lot of commotion was going on. Nala's eyes met Malka's and the creamy lioness ran over.
"There you are. Malka I need you to do me a favor"
Malka frowned, this doesn't sound good. "What would that be?"
"Take Mheetu back to your pride"
Malka and Mheetu's eyes widen. Tears began to fall from the cub's green-blue eyes but he didn't say anything. He was to hurt. Malka wanted to know why but soon that why walked up and nuzzled Nala lovingly. When his brown eyes landed on the amber orbs, Malka gasped.
"Simba?"
The golden lion looked at the male in front of him and his mate in confusion before smiling. "Malka!"
The two males embraced in a brotherly way. When the new king's eyes landed on the small cub next to his friend's paws, he smiled.
"Who's this little fella?"
After a few minutes of silence and giving Nala a dirty glare. Malka looked at Simba and smiled. "This is my son, Mheetu. His mother is by the borders and we just wanted to say goodbye"
Simba nodded. "Well if you would excuse us. We have to talk to Rafiki before he leaves"
Malka bowed before watching Simba and Nala walk away. Malka sighed before looking at Mheetu who was a crying mess. Malka's heart ache. With a small whimper he pulled the cub close.
"I'm truly sorry"
Mheetu said nothing, just cried on Malka's legs. Mheetu cried so hard that the cub eventually cried himself to sleep. Malka picked him up and walked over to the cave where he gently placed Mheetu down. After giving Mheetu a nuzzle, Malka left to inform the pride what had happened.
