Monster Inside

A smirk slowly spread across Kovu's lips as he noticed her blush before a laugh left his lips when she squeezed his hand. Her response made his smirk turn into a grin and he just nodded before reluctantly letting go of her hand to climb back out of the tree. Part of him knew he could easily jump out and tuck into a roll, but he'd rather not have her be pissy with him so soon after he'd just gotten to kiss her again. Waiting at the bottom for her, he nodded his head before speaking. "I agree, I'll walk you back to your room. I call driving, by the way."

Arriving in Sydney

Feb 6th ‘15 — Sydney, Australia

 Opening his mouth again, he shut it before shaking his head. "Never mind. Actually, I was going to ask if you wanted to come back to my room, seeing as, this," he motioned to the tree and the height before speaking again, "is a little unconventional but I want to do this right, so would you like to go out to lunch with me?" The tips of his ears were bright red and he couldn't help that his face was flushed as well.

Of course, that was thrown to the wind when he decided to leap and nearly fall straight to the ground. Jane couldn't help but yelp, eyes glued to him as he scrambled up beside her. As soon as she decided Kovu was safely seated, Jane smacked him-- lightly, because she would NOT be the cause of him falling-- on the arm. "You could've hurt yourself!" she exclaims, trying her best to give him an angry look. "You could've fallen and then-- and then forget ever getting any prize, because you'd be too hurt! And-- and then you would've missed..." She swallows, the hand gripping the branch white-knuckled. "...This." And then, cupping his cheek with her free hand, Jane kissed Kovu, heart hammering ten-thousand beats per minute.

 One of his hands sought out hers before tangling their fingers together as he pulled away, his chest heaving slightly before leaning back in to press a soft, short kiss to her lips, once, twice, three times. Eventually, he stopped and leaned his forehead against hers before saying softly. "You're mine and I'm yours." Looking into her blue eyes, he knew that he didn't just mean it romantically, he meant it in every way, shape and form. She meant everything to him. "Always."

An idea pops into her head, one spurred on by their close proximity and the unavoidable glee radiating between them. Jane starts climbing. “If you can reach me at the very top,” she calls over her shoulder, heart hammering, “you get a prize.” Thankfully, since Kovu was now far below her, he couldn’t see the blush reddening the tips of her ears. Once she reaches the very top branch that was able to support her, Jane leans back against the trunk, legs swinging beneath her. “Don’t hurt yourself while trying, though!” she calls to him in a moment’s worry, peering down with wide eyes, a smile flickering back onto her face when she caught sight of him.

As he got higher and higher, he was getting tired but he figured he might as well freak her out, it was what he was best at. Standing up on the next to last branch, Kovu jumped forward into the next one, grabbing it with one hand, barely managing to hang on before pulling himself up and over, leaning back against the trunk next to her. Slightly sweaty and really out of breath, he grinned, his hands hurt but he really didn't care. "So, a prize?"
