Dreamworks: Look at them besties and like siblings🥰🌈

The weapons destroyed and the army vanquished our heroes rejoice! In that moment the dragon warrior and the knight found themselves tight in an embrace.

The tension finially dissipating in the heat of a kiss....

Yet fate hardly stood in favor of the few and was once again twisting in motion. Dawning now was the coherence of reason. Both bears abupty parted.

The realisation sinking in. Heat painted their cheeks. Bashful. Awkward.

Broody teen

Chasing veruca in the dense mud was futile. Slowing the bears considerably.

"Blade you cant keep going like this!"

Their previous skirmish with the weasle left the bear with a sprained ankle. She was determined but reckless. Po offered a reasurring hand. She shrugged it away dejected.

The bear was annoyed. First the pirates and now veruca had the weapons. She trembled. Ire rose and her blood boiled.

The wind howled in anguish. Leaves in tandom fled from their forests. Grey clouds argued and rumbled in protest.

Po shivered. Not used to the bitterness of englands unpredictable weather.

"Well, it couldnt possibly -"

Blade abruptly spat at him.

"DONT YOU DARE SAY IT!"

An icy deluge cascaded the two. Rain fell from the heavens with reckless abandon.

"Worse...heheh"

Blade rolled her eyes.

"Achoo!"

"Humph, Welcome to England po"

"Dont be like that besides i doubt veronica urm veruca will get far. Without this anyway"

He held the storm wheel before thd bear. Blade blinked. Unsure of how he even had it. Reading her expression he continued.

"You travel around with a master theif and your bound to pick up a few things, right?"

The knight in name only sighed. Her deamonor softened slightly.

"Come on. Lets get out the rain before you catch your death out here"

The panda shivered as if agreeing with her.

Not far was a small house. Medieval in its structure paved with wood and stone. Quaint. It bore some charm however.

-----

A fire burnt in the open fire place. Embers splintered and cracked. Warmth enveloped the room offering reprieve from the cold.

Po and blade had dried off. Ate some stew and place the storm wheel out of harms way. Sitting in front of the fire they were comfortable amongst cushions. both had blankets wrapped around them.

Po was still shivering. Fearing he had a fever the large bear sits next to him. Attempting to rid him of the ice still in his veins.

"Its never simple. With all but one of the weapons gone. The whole affair with those pirates. Veruca on the loose...im not so certain anymore...."

A soft smile graces pos features. The crackling of the fire breaking the silence.

"Heyyy hey its gonna be ok. Weve come this far, right? Blade dont fret. Promise well get back the weapons, stop veruca and well do it. Together yeah?"

Blade turned away from him. She wanted to believe in his words, desperately but doubt made her recoil. The panda shifted his weight towards her, wanting to offer reassurance.

"Blade...i....look, i dont know whats in store for us. But regardless were in this together..."

Warmth suddenly pooling in his chest. Her gaze met his. The panda's heart rang in his ears. Their it was again. That bizarre feeling. Invading his senses. Thoughts blurred with a strange notion. His stomach started to cramp.

The tension over the months was impalable. Po was confused with these feelings. Forced them down. Blade simply ignored it. Often storming off abruptly. Avoiding it as best she could.

He couldn't recall when the gap between them shifted. Drawing close. Blade grew hesitant. His nose, despite his anxiety affectionately skimmed her cheek. A nuzzle. Chaste. Blade found herself returning it. Slow. Affectionate.

It was simply primeval. Deep rooted. Nuzzling wasnt something practiced in this time of age. But instinctual blood from ages past beckoned. The nuzzle grew.... intimate. Soft and loving. Lost in the action.

Before long pos blanket had bunched up on his lap. His paw rested on her knee. The nuzzle while soft grew. Blade couldn't help it. His warmth was soothing. Almost addicting.

For a fleeting moment their lips brushed past. Often their noses touched as did the shadow of their lips. Not a kiss but if it continued Blade wouldn't be able to stop. She hated it. Knowing deep down hed have to leave her. To abandon these shores and her. She would not tolerate him cutting her that deep and yet he had done so anyway. She cursed him.

Abrupty she took controll. Ignoring the pain in her chest. Strong and sudden she held his shoulders and pushed him away.

"Dont...please dont"

The panda was confused by her sudden out burst. Before he could offer his apolagies she walked off.not even looking back at him.

"Good night po"

@biayackerman because content. For you.

Blade doesnt give eye contact and po takes her hand and pecks it. Offering a gentlemans curtsy. He feels silly but social convention dictates proper manners.

They start to waltz.

Blade becoming all to aware of the scrutiny from the Ladies of court. Whispers of distain, gazes of iron...

Po however wasnt concerned. His attention was on his posture. Not wanting to offend the royals he kept composed. Blade still not giving eye contact. A blush paints her cheeks due to feeling somewhat exposed.

Picking up pace their rhythm in synce. He flipped blade and she landed gracefully. Quickly spinning back in the pandas arms.

A sweet smile graced his features. She slightly challanged him. He kept composed. A twinkle in his eye Her foot suddenly shifted against his ankle. He flinched seemingly unsteady just for a moment. What was once a waltz was turning into a tango.

The spectacle was an combination of gyrating grace and subtle kung fu.

Did a flash of interest grace the features of the queen?

The panda held Luthera against him as her leg raised on his side. An Intimate sentiment. He weight shifted and he lowered himself slightly. Steady.

Their noses flitting like a butterfly to a bloom. Breathes heavy. He broke the Silence...

"Blade...i

The sudden applause startled them both. Parting abruptly. The queen approached and gently nodded. Silent approval.

The panda and bear shared a glance. Warmth pooled in his chest. He didnt understand but for now he wouldn't question it....
