(Continued) Kovu smirked. He knew his friend would remember. "Yeah I can say the same to you. You've grown a lot." He tried to smile but it quickly left. Kovu knew he couldn't wait any longer, he needed to know. "What happened? Did Simba keep you under watch after you asked him? You just disappeared after that day." He said somewhat forlorn. "I thought I was never going to see you again."
Kopa sighed sadly “ my father wasn’t happy, he kept me under watch with lionesses everyday. He didn’t trust me, I tried telling him Kovu. I’m sorry but I failed. He still holds a deep grudge against your mother. I really am sorry for not being able to see you.” He said as he lowered his ears before he heard his father rushing up to him “ Kopa! Thank goodness your alright!” Kopa growled at him “ father how could you break your promise? You said I could do this on my own. But I saw a glimpse of Timon and Pumbaa in the bushes.” Simba shook his head “ it’s a good thing I did. I almost lost you, no more hunts for you. Not now not ever.” Kopa was shocked “ but dad! Kovu saved me from ” he was interrupted as Simba snarled at the name “ Kovu?” He looked at the lion and snarled at him by leaping in front of his son to protect him.
Kopa sighed and shook his head “ I don’t really know Kovu. Maybe you saved my life? ” he suggested while shrugging a little “ but anyway I’m glad your here Kovu. It’s good to see you again.” He smiled and hugged his friend.
He returned the hug “It’s good to see you again too. How have you been?” He asked as he started walking.
Kopa smiled and started to walk “ I’ve been alright. Bored because you weren’t in my life. Your my best friend Kovu and nothing will ever change that. I trust you.” He smiled. (Cut posts?)
Kovu tried his best to hide his sadness. Kopa was his friend, how could he betray his trust. but he knew he couldn’t just disobey Zira. Hopefully, if he succeeded Kopa wouldn’t know it was him. “Yeah, You’re more then I deserve really. It was hard, you were really the only thing giving me a reason to power through each day.”
Kopa blinked in surprise “ really? I was the only reason?” He asked. He was surprised to say the least “ and I don’t care what you say Kovu, your my best friend, now and forever.” He smiled and gave him a little playful nudge.
He smiled and nudged Kopa back. “Yeah of course. And you’ll always be my Best friend.” he looked up ahead. “Hey, uh. How much longer till we get where we’re going?”
Kopa smiled as they arrived at Pride Rock “ we have arrived. Why don’t you come sleep in the den with us? ” he smiled but as they made there way Simba jumped in front of Kovu and glared “ he sleeps outside.” Was all he said before heading into the den and Kopa sighed sadly as he looked at Kovu “ sorry Kovu. ” he said as he meant it giving him a quick nuzzle before heading inside.
He shrugged “I expected as much.” He smiled as he walked over and tried to find a comfortable spot to sleep in.
