*Back at the village*

It was late by the time they reached the village Blue eyes lifted Angel off the horse smiling at her, he carried her to the hut close to his families he tenderly laid her down on the bed before turning to leave.

"Don't leave….." she spoke softly Blue Eyes let out a small sigh before turning to look at her the two shared a longing look at one another before he signed

"Coming back" & with that he turned & left Angel alone to her thoughts.

"What am I doing?!" Angel said to herself was she crazy he was a ape she was human how could this ever work, but the nagging feeling she was feeling & the tugging in her heart just wouldn't go away, Blue Eyes was special in every way,& she was willing to fight for him if she had too but what would come of it…..

Kali was waiting close to the watering hole Blue Eyes stopped in his track on seeing she was allowing Ash to groom her, something she'd not allowed him to do yet on seeing him Ash stopped & moved slightly to the side leaving Kali wondering why he'd stopped turning she saw Blue Eyes looking at them sitting up she greeted him Ash & Blue Eyes shared a awkward silence for what seemed like forever before Ash turned to ask

"Am going hunting tomorrow with Koba & father are you coming with us?" Blue Eyes turned to his friend & then looking at Kali who nodded signed "Yes" after pulling his best friend into a tight hug, Blue Eyes made up his mind there & then no female would come between them tension over the three young apes sat looking up at the stars.

"Kali are you coming hunting with us?" Blue Eyes signed Kali shook her head she already had plans with her mother Ash heard Rocket calling for him to come home & with that he bid the two friends goodnight Kali sat alone with Blue Eyes she made her way to the watering hole to have a drink Blue Eyes watching on.

"Where's the human?" Kali asked trying to lighten the mood Blue Eyes gave a slight smile just thinking about her before pointing to the hut Angel was in "Resting, her leg still needs time to heal" he replied the two young apes just sat apart not really knowing why they both felt so unsettle in each other company Blue Eyes joined her for a drink before long he turned to her looking her in the eye

"Do you want me to finish grooming?" he said eyes slightly hopeful Kali smiled & nodded as she turned for him to pick up where Ash had left off….. Somehow though the two apes felt like something was off it was meant to be a good thing & yet the two felt more awkward then before Blue Eyes stopped half way through smiling at her she smiled back

"It's getting late been a busy day," Blue Eyes nodded to her & with that Kali bid him goodnight before heading for home Blue Eyes watched her go before castling a look to Angels hut taking a deep breath.

Blue Eyes stopped in at his parent's hut watching as they slept Blue Eyes smiling to himself at the sight of his little brother draped over both his mother & father Blue Eyes moved to check on Angel slowly making his way over to her his heart sinking a little at finding her asleep turning to leave

"Didn't think you were coming" he heard turning to find Angel now awake sitting in her bed a coy smile on her face Blue Eyes shrugged looking down at the floor he could never make out why she smiled at him like that all he knew was that it made his heart race holding out her hand to him & with a slight nod of her head "Come" he stood fast at the doorway unsure of weather to go to her or leave taking another deep breath & gathering himself he made his way over to Angel sitting by her next to her bed she moved over & pointed to sit next to her Blue Eyes' heart pounding so loud he was sure the whole village could hear it Angel looked at him & put her head on his chest Blue Eyes smiling wrapped his arm around her pulling her tight the two then drifted off to sleep.

*Next Morning*

Caesar woke early looking around getting up without waking his still sleeping mate or their son he went to check if Blue Eyes was awake yet drawing back the divider looking puzzled when he found his son was not there…. Blue Eyes was not known as an early riser for the most part Caesar had a daily battle of wills with his son to wake him. Something then told him to check the hut the human female was in & there enough was what he'd been looking for.

He however shifted with uncertainty as he observed the way his son had enveloped himself with the female girl although he himself had a great deal of love for humans he never lay like that with one, but this he knew was a conversation to have with his son at another time Caesar made his way down to the watering hole greeting the few apes that had risen early much to his surprise he saw Ash among them he was almost worse at waking up early then Blue Eyes was Kali too was among the apes greeting her he asked if she was planning on spending the day with Blue Eyes she shook her head Caesar looked puzzled before she sighed

"With my mother today" he nodded before setting about finding some food to eat.
