Ellie’s face lit up more when met in return with Nuka’s smile and laugh. Seeing friends of hers feeling better or more cheerful in her company was one of her favorite parts of visiting them. She looked as Nuka sat up slowly, taking in the markings all over his frame. While she wanted to ask about their origin, she knew that it would be better if he revealed them at his own comfort. “I can only imagine. I’m sure they were so happy to see you too! And were you able to visit friends back home as well?”

He noticed her eyes wander quickly over his frame, like a curious person who wanted to know but knew it wasn’t right to stare. “I like to think they were.” He said with a smile. “Hopefully as happy as I am to see you all.” A smile stayed plainly as his eyes lit up a bit more. “Oh yes, it was wonderful to see them again as well. Though, knowing what it’s like to be human makes it a little strange. It’s hard to relate to a lot of things when you’re not a lion most of the time. And when they hear about me being friends with a mouse, they just laugh. Though I really don’t mind.” He gave a small chuckle. “I have to admit, I’m really happy I’m back though. I like it here in my home with you guys a lot more. So tell me, what adventures did I miss?”

“I’m not certain yet, all I know is I want to be able to help people. I’d quite like to learn all there is, from first aid to surgery, just in case I need to use any of those skills.” Maya explained, moving to lay beside him. She moved closer, laying beside him like a sister would lay beside her brother, caring, protective and protected. “I’ve really missed you Nuka.”

“Well I know you can do it. Though all of it takes quite a bit of time to learn. If that’s what you want then I support it fully” He said with a small smile. “Besides, maybe you may even go into a section deeper and find that’s what you love most and specialize in it.” Carefully, he lowered his arm around her as to keep her near and safe. Maya had always been the tiny puppy that was always strong and yet fragile at the same time. “I’ve missed you too Maya. Don’t worry, I won’t be leaving again anytime soon.”

Ellie had heard that Nuka had returned from home, and was anxious to see her friend after such a long absence. Her holidays had been spent in a sort of bubble, with the time being spent around family distinctly. And while family was wonderful to her, friends added a glimmer of magic in her life that she had been missing. Asking around with several people as to Nuka’s home address, Ellie finally made her way to the boy’s house, hopeful she wasn’t catching him while he was out and about town. Knocking at the door, she beamed when she heard his voice yell from within.

Entering, Ellie saw him sitting up and grinned as she walked over. “Nuka!” She said with a giggle, coming over to sit on the foot of the bed. “I feel as if it’s been ages since we’ve talked, and I just had to come and see how you enjoyed your time back at home!”

Nuka couldn’t help but chuckle at the bubbly demeanor of his friend. Instantly, everything seemed to hurt a little less. “Hi Ellie! It’s wonderful to see you! I’ve missed you quite a bit!” He said with a smile. Nuka sat up carefully, careful not to bump into himself. “Home was a lot of fun. It was wonderful to see family again.”

“I didn’t get into the art college I wanted to, but I’m looking at training to be a nurse now.” She smiled. “I like the idea of helping people.” Maya stood carefully, finishing off her sandwich and heading over to wash her hands. “I still haven’t been home, I miss my brothers though.” She sighed, heading back over to him. She sat back down on the bed beside him, her fingers tracing the wounds. “Is there anything you need?”

“What kind of nurse are you looking into?” He asked amused. Maya hated seeing people in pain. Nuka knew this well, hell, she hated seeing people upset in any way. A kind, sweet soul. Shaking his head, his eyes followed her fingers as they traced the markings ever so slightly. “No, I think I’m okay. It’s not really the scars that hurt. It’s more the bruising and only time will help that.”

Maya pulled away gently. “I was hoping to see you before Christmas but I could never find you. I’m sorry I couldn’t get you a present.” She sighed, pulling away and taking a bite from her own sandwich. “Do you mind me asking what you’ve been up to all this time?”

“I’m sorralllyy Maya, mom and I left pretty early for holiday. Don’t be sorry, I’m actually really happy you didn’t get me anything because I didn’t get many people things this year either.” He said before taking half his sandwich into his mouth. “Umm not much. Just been meeting new people and helping mom out. Not much has happened before break and now I’m back and a bit wounded. Nothing I can’t move past though. What about you?”

Maya nodded in understanding. She knew now that he hadn’t changed at all, he was still the same kind-hearted prince she remembered him to be. Suddenly, out of the blue, Maya leaned into him, wrapping her arms around him and hugging him gently. “I’ve missed you Lion King.” She told him. They had so much they needed to catch up on but right now she was just happy that she was back with one of the greatest friends she ever made. “I’ve really missed you. You’re the only person who really gets me.”

Nuka winced lightly from the slight pain of her hug, knowing she didn’t mean to and was trying her best to avoid it. Slowly, he let out a sigh of relief and wrapped ihs arms around her as best as he could. “I’ve missed you too Maya.”

Maya smiled softly, heading towards the bed cautiously, and going into her bag to pull out one of the two bacon sandwiches. “I brought you something.” She whispered, handing him the wrapped sandwich. She carefully sat beside him on the bed, letting her eyes wander over the injuries as well as the new markings. “What is all of this Nuka? Why are you hurt? What are these markings?” She asked, looking him in the eyes, sadness flashing over her own at the thought of him being injured. And the new markings had put Maya a little bit more on edge, worried he had joined a dangerous cult or tribe or something.

Nuka wasn’t exactly sure why she was whispering. They were the only two within the room and he was sure their voices weren’t going to disrupt anything around them. Reaching out, he smiled wider as he took the sandwich from her and inhaled its aroma. “Mmm, bacon! You remembered, thanks Maya.” He tried not to watch her as he took a bite, feeling her gaze fall over every part of him. It was something he wanted to just ignore, but with her questions he knew it was going to be a topic he was going to have to explain quite a bit. “Don’t look so sad Maya. They are just scars. I was playing with the cubs back in the Pridelands and well, a lightning storm came from nowhere. Unfortunately a tree was struck near us and I did what needed to be done to protect my pride.” His mind flashed to the open land, the cubs scared as he seethed with pain. Flashes of family coming to help and Rafiki tending to the wounds the best he could. Nuka looked away from the girl, knowing no matter which direction a part still could be seen. They darkened from the ash that was used to help heal him, leaving them stained across him like tattoos. An image that made him look almost exactly as his father did, and his great great uncle. A look that he knew made it hard for his mother to look at him without heartache. Nuka turned back to Maya, knowing now, there was no escaping it. Father like son. In almost every way.

Maya hadn’t seen Nuka since she had returned to Disney Town, every time she had tried she could never seem to find him. She had made a couple of bacon sandwiches in her room before placing them in her bag and heading to where she remembered her friend slept. Slowly, as she arrived at the door, Maya pulled at the sleeve of her jumper nervously. What if he had forgotten about her or didn’t remember her? What if he was happier because she was gone? What if he hated her? She didn’t know why any of those things would be true but she didn’t have anytime to question their appearance in her head as she heard a tired voice call out that the door was open. She didn’t even noticed that she’d knocked. With a deep breath, Maya pushed the door open softly, closing it behind her and looking around into the room. As she looked over to the bed, she spotted him buried beneath the sheets but looking up at her. Maya smiled nervously, she had become so nervous that she was shaking as she stared at the bruises and cuts that covered his skin.

Nuka could smell the savory scent of cooked bacon stream in with the person that carried them. To his surprise, it was Maya. A friend he didn’t even know had returned to the town. Giving a small smile, he tried to sit up even further and hide the look of surprise that seemed to wash over him. It wasn’t his Mouse, but still a friendly face he missed. “Hey Maya! Long time no see!” He said quietly trying not to shock her even more than she already appeared. Surely a lot had happened since the last time they spoke, as well as a few new markings. He thought about the dark lines that seemed to streak his skin and hoped they didn’t frighten her.

Nuka walked, beaten and battered still from the accident back in his mothers home land over the holiday break. Pain seemed to shoot through him but he gritted his teeth and pushed past it, being the strong lion he was. All he wanted was to rest and see his friends once again. To be back in his home town made everything better. To him, the only thing that could make everything perfect was seeing his Mouse again. She was the one person who he constantly kept his mind on to help battle through the seething pain when the tree fell onto him as he was playing with the cubs back home. The bark burning from catching fire moments before when a sudden lightning storm overthrew the valley. People seemed to stare as he passed, Nuka didn’t blame them. The strange dark lines that scared his body were something strange to behold. Still, the lion smiled the best he could with his eyes.

Climbing up the stairs to his dorm, he came to the familiar door and slipping in his key unlocking it with ease. His mother must have had someone tend to his things already as he spotted the few bags stacked neatly in the corner near his bed. With a deep sigh, he was comforted by the smell of home as he shuffled over and layed down on the cool sheets. Trying his best not to move any more than he needed and cause further bruising. As his mind started to drift, his body relax, Nuka heard a faint knock at the door. “Come in, the doors open.” He shouted as he sat up slowly, curious to who was wandering in.

#distown: start #hi everyone!

Oh Dear.....

“Lucky enough for you, kiss ass adventures are kinda my specialty. You got a deal. The pleasure is all mine Brin. So, what brings you to Disney?”

Well you know me, I can never sit still for too long. Always finding something to do and all. [chuckles] You study? Awe Mouse, you don’t need to study. I’m pretty sure you already know most of it. Oh! I almost forgot. Merry Christmas Mouse. I know it’s a little early but I couldn’t wait any longer. [gives her a big wrapped bow with a candle and book collection in it as well as a separate small wrapped box]

#ignore text #even though those are some feels for her lol #Amie

Oh Dear.....

[Nods and grins] All three seem like a lovely present to give. A perfectly cozy night in by the fire. That sounds like a picturesque night to me, I’ll be sitting jealously while you give the gift to her. [Thinks for a moment] Perhaps you could write one? I would be more than happy to help, since writing is what I find myself doing at all times when not reading. And something missing… [Looks up as they pass a store window and gasps, grabbing Nuka’s arm to stop him] That necklace! Look, it matches her eyes exactly! I know it’s a lot for one gift, but if you really want something extra, this seems perfect!

Awe Ellie, there’s no need for envy. [chuckles] I’m sure you will receive gifts just as wonderful and perfect to you. [stops quickly trying not to trip over her] Ellie! It sure is perfect! Come on.

Oh Dear.....

Not a bad idea. Though, it’s not really who I have to shop for where the problem lies, it’s what to get them.

Oh Dear.....

[chuckles at her enthusiasm and walks quickly with her] She’s an amazing person, I can’t see how someone couldn’t love her. Umm well that’s a bit difficult. A lot comes to my mind. The time we went to the beach, out secret spot, adventures late at night, they way we talk about absolutely everything. I think of the color of her eyes when they light up when she laughs or the smell of a fire that we seem to find ourselves sitting by together late some nights talking about the world and stars or laughing at the books we read together. There’s so much, I don’t know where to begin.

[Smiles with her eyes lowered] Well that’s more than a fair place to start. Amie is very lucky to have someone like you in her life, I think. [Glances up to see his reaction] Now then, I have a few ideas. You mentioned her eyes, perhaps clothing or a scarf that matches? Or fire, a nice candle or perfume that reminds you of the smell? Then books, my personal favorites so I am a bit biased towards giving them as gifts, what is the book you two enjoy the most? Any of these ideas could work, I believe, now it’s up to you to choose what to do for her.

[smiles] Thank you, though it is I who feel to be the lucky one. Perhaps all three? A candle that reminds her of the smell of a fire in a library where we played hide and seek with a few first edition books. Umm I’m not too sure. I already gave her my favorite book a long time ago, but she seems to love fiction stories. Maybe a personally written story? And a scarf to bundle up with as she reads in comfort. Its all great but I feel like I’m missing something, something really special.

[chuckles] I just hope it listens when we do. [smiles admirably at the thought of mouse] Amie? Well she isn’t very hard to gift for. Amie is a sweet and fun loving girl, she is always happy and loves anything someone gives her. With her, it’s the thought that counts but I want to get her something really special.
