I apologize, but this chapter is gonna be pretty short.
The sun had finally risen, and an hour had passed and Saka was slowly regaining feeling in his legs, yet he didn't get up. He was just looking in the distance, enjoying that view, it surely was something. The main reason he didn't try to get up, was because he was thinking about Jasiri, but mainly what he was gonna do about Alcuthe. He couldn't take Alcuthe to her, because what if she meant to harm him... but he also couldn't let Thana hurt Jasiri. Suddenly, Saka's thoughts were interrupted.
"Hey Saka." Alcuthe said from behind him in a slightly confused tone. "Did your legs regain feeling?" He asked with a smile.
"Yeah." Saka replied as he got up and stretched out his legs.
"So... how'd it go? I mean, I already know, but I wanna hear your side of the story." Alcuthe stated and chuckled as they began to walk.
"It...umm... I honestly don't know. What did they tell you?" Saka asked.
"Well, Jasiri said the sweetest thing happened to her." Alcuthe started. "She said 'Saka had brought me my second most favorite flower, but he didn't realize the consequences of it and he got paralyzed. But it was so cute.' Her exact words." Alcuthe finished and tucked his ears in a joking, lover way and mouthed 'Awww'. Saka blushed and smiled lightly.
"Oh shutup... Did she say anything else?" Saka asked curiously, and Alcuthe chuckled lightly.
"Not really... other than 'give it to me Saka'." Alcuthe said and folded his lips trying not to laugh and Saka's face turned even redder.
"Shutup Alcuthe!" Saka said bluntly, but smiled and rolled his eyes. He has the greatest friend in the world... and the weirdest.
"So... you didn't even ask her out? You just brought her the flower?" Alcuthe asked.
"Well... one, I didn't get the chance, and two, that was to get her attention, and hopefully impress her." Saka replied.
"Ahh, ok." Alcuthe responded. "Well, did you get her attention? In your opinion.' He asked.
"Well... from what you said and what she did, I think I may have gotten her attention." Saka replied.
"What did she do?" Alcuthe asked curiously.
"Umm... she kissed me... on my cheek." Saka explained, blushing and smiling lightly.
"Awwwww. How precious." Alcuthe replied sarcastically and laughed after Saka lightly hit his shoulder.
Saka and Alcuthe had been walking for a little while and they gotten to Jasiri's and Madoa's place and they were both sitting near their river, looking at Saka and Alcuthe. Saka blushed and smiled at Jasiri and Jasiri raised an eyebrow and smiled back.
"Kiss her back Saka." Alcuthe said, breaking the silence and making Saka blush intensely and fold his lips.
"Wow Alcuthe." Madoa said and giggled.
"What?" Alcuthe replied and put his arms up.
"Yeah Saka, kiss me back." Jasiri stated and made her cheek available, which made Saka's eyes widen slightly. Saka looked at Jasiri, thinking she was just joking, but she had a smile and a face that basically says 'well, go on'. Saka, nervously, and slowly inched his face near hers, but as his mouth neared her face, he stopped and pulled his head back and looked down apologetically. Jasiri smiled and giggled lightly at that, she thought it was adorable. "Still too shy?" She asked. Saka blushed, smiled lightly and nodded his head. "Fine, I guess I'll have to give you another one." Jasiri said and walked over and kissed him lightly on the cheek, on the same spot. Saka began to blush even more and it didn't help when Alcuthe decided to say 'Awww' sarcastically. When Jasiri then turned to walk away, she looked back at Saka. "I expect another flower soon." She said faking it in a stern tone.
"Yes ma'am." Saka replied with a shy smile and him and Alcuthe began to go find some food.
Midday had finally come and Saka and Alcuthe had caught them another zebra and this time, they could enjoy it. They joked about the last time, and Saka was even sitting down this time, which made them both laugh. Thana had been stuck in Saka's head for hours now. He wanted to tell Alcuthe, but he was scared of what would happen to him. Saka would open his mouth to tell Alcuthe, but then close it. He just doesn't know what to do, he's never had to make this scary of a decision, or at least not that many times. Alcuthe was a horrible liar, and he knew it, so he thought up something that he could tell Alcuthe, with out telling him.
"Alcuthe." Saka began, trying to hide the slight fear.
"Yea man?" Alcuthe replied as he swallowed a chunk of Zebra flesh.
"Do you ever plan on having a mate and kids?" Saka said, hoping Alcuthe would take it seriously. This actually took Alcuthe by suprise, Saka could tell when Alcuthe looked at Saka with a confused expression and a mouthful of flesh.
"Well... One, what female will ever let me fuck them?" Alcuthe began, somewhat upset. "I mean, look at me. I'm different looking, and I don't even know why! And two, I would love to, but again... Look at me!" He nearly shouted, from upset to an angry sadness. "If I had kids, they'd look at me, and wonder if I'm even a hyena. And if my kids look like me, what if my mate doesn't want them, or someone picks on them or laughs at them like everyone laughed at me!" He continued, now with complete hatred and rage. "So, I did until plan to until even females would laugh at me, since that day, I knew every female would hate me and none would ever wanna have kids with a fucked up freak like me, so no Saka!" He ended sternly and then noticed Saka's sad expression and calmed down. "Saka I... I'm sorry brother, I didn't mean to get jerky man." He took a quick deep breathe. "I really am bro, forgive me for that." He begged.
"It's alright Alcuthe, It's my fault. I shouldn't have asked." Saka replied, and realized he'll have to try a different approach about Thana.
"No it's not Saka, I just overreacted. I'm sorry man, I love you bro." Alcuthe responded as he gave Saka a slight hug.
"I love you too bro." Saka replied happily knowing Alcuthe is slowly learning to control his anger. As the two remained in a slight hug, Mzingo had been eavesdropping to gain more information about the two.
"Oh, Thana is going to love this." Mzingo mumbled to himself and took flight towards Thana's clan. "And I'm going to love the reward I'll acquire." He finished and licked his lips.
Again, I'm VERY sorry this chapter was a very short one. This isn't something that's going to happen all the time...Hopefully. Next chapter should more than likely be normal length (A lot longer than this XD)
