Kion X Vitani: Unlawful Love (On Hold)

Disbelief

[In Priderock]

As both the king and queen walked back towards where they sleep, they were being being glared at by all the lionesses with concern and confusion. Nala looked at Simba with slight smile and nuzzled into his mane. "It will be ok, he's just young and dumb, like we were". She said in her comforting calm voice. Simba then thought back to his cubhood and chuckled slightly though never took away his saddened look.

"That is different, he knew he would of hurt me and my pride, but he still went and head and be friends with her and he even has a crush on her. He better not end up with that bitch". Nala felt defeated into trying to calm him down so she lay down and started thinking. Simba followed as he lay next to her. Simba also started to think on how to get his son out of this situation because he knew the true power of love and when used incorrectly the destruction it can cause. He then got an idea.

"Why not get him betrothed?" He asked Nala to see if she liked the idea. She opened her eyes and looked at him.

"Really? You don't want your own son to have the freedom of choosing who to be his mate" she replied not liking the idea to much. This made Simba determined to convince her.

"Do you really think he should have the freedom to choose when he has chosen that" he said knowing full well this was the best option for him.

"Like I said he's young, he's not gonna make the best decisions and what if he doesn't even like her that way, maybe he just wanted a friend, you know how he doesn't like the cubs here" she replied reasoning with him.

He growled slightly, "He definitely told me she was beautiful, he loves her and there is no doubt about that".

She gave up. "Maybe we could see how he would react to the idea, but the question is who are we going to betroth him with?" Simba sighed.

"Guess I'll have to think about that". They both then said goodnight to each other and drifted of to sleep.

[In the Lair]

Kion was sleeping soundly, underneath his eyelids was wet fur stained by tears. Even though he was trying to get away from the idea of falling in love with Vitani, he couldn't prevent himself dreaming about her. He slept peacefully all throughout the night until morning came when he was awoken by a shouting Simba.

"Kion get up now!". He opened his eyes to be greeted by his mother and father looking at him. He then looked beyond them at the hole in the ceiling, it was barely daytime. He let his head fall back down onto the ground as he whined.

"It's not even morning yet"

"Kion get your arse out of bed now!" Simba shouted loosing his patience, which he did often. Kion then forced himself up and got on all fours.

"Calm down love" Nala said soothingly.

He stretched and sat down looking at his parents preparing for his punishment.

"What you have done has truly disappointed us both and we had expected better from you". Nala started and Simba resumed.

"As a punishment" Simba began as Kion prepared. "I am deciding who you are going to be married to" he finished and Kion couldn't believe him.

"Seriously? You are both going to do that to me. I was just friends with her!" He felt anger and annoyance for his parents punishment.

"Oh Kion, you seriously going to lie! You told me you thought she was beautiful, you either have a crush on her or you are mates with her which says a lot about you! Falling for that someone who oughts to kill me one day, how could you?" he scoffs and turns his head away from him.

"She's not like them, she's different and trust me not a follower of scar". He speaks trying to calm his raging farther.

"She's lying to you Kion" Nala speaks up

"Whatever, I ain't marrying no one" he says.

"You damn right are! And we will tell you who tonight so go onto patrol and accept your punishment" Simba says as he turns his head back towards him after taking a breather.

"I don't believe you two!" Kion snapped as he ran out of the lair. Tears make his vision blurry, he runs for a minute and he trips up on a stick and lands on his back crying.

"Told you he wouldn't be very pleased with it. Are you sure you still want to go ahead with this". Nala asked, now feeling slight guilt.

"Yep, and I know the perfect lioness".

[Kion Pov]

Pain, that's all I can feel. I don't know where the pain is coming from. The fact that I don't have a choice in who I'm going to be mates with or that I will never be able to be with my mate, the one I actually love. Who am I kidding I would have never been able to be with her in secret all my life anyway, they would have eventually found out one way or another. Then my thoughts trailed back to my parents, how they would do such a thing to me, how I dedicated my whole life into protecting the pridelands so he doesn't have to, how my mother would agree to him and how they know the amount of misery this would cause and yet they still don't care. I start to feel a bit of hate towards my parents but not enough to disobey them again.
