"Well this sucks." Said Po as they hid in a cave from a blizzard. "You think?" Tigress said sarcastically. "We are trapped by a blizzard, miles away from any village, and we are probably going to freeze to death!"
If you are wondering what is happening, basically Tigress and Po were sent on a mission to check on a village, which had an increase in robberies. The path to said village involved them traveling through snowy mountains, which on their way too the village wasn't that bad, but on their way back they were hit with a massive blizzard, forcing them to retreat to a cave.
"No worries Ti, there seems to be some sticks and stuff in this cave, so I can probably start a fire." Po said as he picked up some sticks and rocks. "I would like that." Tigress said while shivering a bit,"Im not really built for this kind of weather." She said with some humor. He saw her shiver some more, so he put the sticks and rocks down, walked over to their travel bag and pulled out a blanket. He then walked over to her and wrapped it around her.
She looked at him, as he smiled down to her. She saw his eyes sparkle, even in this dark cave. They sat there staring for a bit before Po coughed and looked away saying,"Welp I have to go start the fire." Tigress silently nodded as Po walked away.
"What was that!" Tigress thought to herself. Though she was still cold, her face felt like it was on fire.
She couldn't lie, she had a thing for this panda. After the events in gongmen city, she had growing feelings for the panda, who had just created a fire. It was the main reason why she volunteered to go with him on this mission, that and a need to protect him.
She started thinking of memories they shared. Their training sessions, sparring, and late night talks. One late night talk that came to mind, was the night she had gotten rid of a nightmare.
You see after the events of gongmen Tigress had trouble sleeping. Every night was the same nightmare, the one revolving around Po's death. Of course Po lived, but in her dream that wasn't the case. He didnt come back, and the boat made it past the harbor as Shen laughed evilly, taunting her as he made crude remarks about her best friends death. Then he aimed the canon towards her, yelling "fire!" And as she watched the canon ball approach, she woke up. Her heart was pounding, and as she brought her paw to her face It was obvious she had cried, for her cheeks were wet and matted. Before she can lay back down she heard a whisper,"Tigress?" She immediately got up and into to her fighting stance, sternly saying,"who is there?" She heard the person respond,"It me Po, I heard some noise from your room, just thought I should check on you." Tigress dropped her stance as she sighed, opening her door, she was now face to face with Po, who had dawned a concerned look,"have you been crying?" He asked while rubbing his thumb to her cheek. She blushed a bit but proceeded to push his hand off. "Of course not, why would I be crying," "Tigress" he said softly, "whats wrong?" She stared up at him, she saw his eyes full of concern, she motioned him to come inside. She then explained her nightmare, all the while holding back tears. By the end she went silent as Po was processing what he was told. He heard her say,"I know, im pathetic, I shouldn't be crying over this." "No you are not pathetic, that was a scary event for all of us. After all I would be lying if I said I didn't have nightmares either." She looked at him and said,"I know but... It just felt so real, it was... terrifying, and I hate having these nightmares." She started breathing heavy as the nightmare replayed in her head, she was about to break down when she was engulfed by to fuzzy and warm arms. It was Po, he was now hugging her gently,"shhh its ok. It was just a nightmare, Im still here, shen was defeated, and we all saved the day, so there is no need to worry." Tigress shut her eyes as she returned the embrace. After that Po left, much to Tigress' dismay, and they went to sleep.
She never had the nightmare again.
The fire had gone out, and Po was asleep. She didn't realize how much time had passed while she was reliving that moment. Suddenly a cold breeze hit her, she shivered harshly from the cold, not even the blanket could keep her warm. She looked at Po he was laying on his side, snoring softly. The cold didn't seem to bother him. "He looks so warm and cuddly." She thought. She had and idea, but didn't know if she should go threw with it, but as another cold breeze hit her, she decided that it would be for the best. She got up and silently walked over to the sleeping panda. She lied down next to him, she then slid closer to him, lifting his arm and swiftly putting her self against his chest. She nuzzled her head into the warmth of his neck as she smiled. She then felt his arms slightly tighten around her. She looked up and saw him smiling with his eyes closed. She felt relieved that he didn't mind, as she once again nuzzled his neck, where she drifted to sleep, before succumbing to sleep she felt Po kiss her head. Her smile widened as she finally fell asleep in her pandas arms.
