So this is another scene from the RP that me and Charlee are STILL continuing with- despite my recent inactivity on any of the sites.
I can honestly say that this is probably the first time that Kobee's smile is 100% genuine. Normally he uses a smile to hide behind the constant pressures and doubts that he has. But not this time. Yay Kobee! Although if you haven't noticed, he's not facing Kiana whilst he is doing it, he's shy!
Here's an update for those who are at this point confused about the Kiana and Kobee scenario.
Kiana and Kopa have recently split and both Kiana and Kobee have both indirectly admitted to having feelings for each other but NEITHER is willing to make a move. Below is a little piece of our RP. Top one is my part, and then there is a divider (~~) followed by her part!
----------------------------------------
Kobee watched as Kiana looked down at herself. He took advantage of the moment and appreciated her slender yet athletic body. Her beauty was entrancing and without noticing, a dazed look spread across his face. The warm weather soaked into his skin and complemented the cool water beneath him. However he snapped out of his own thoughts as soon as he heard her speak. He shook his head at her, his face moulding back into a calm expression.
“What a gorgeous lioness.” Kobee corrected her firmly, he met her eyes as he spoke and the intensity between them flickered away. Chemistry wove up his body and settled into his chest as his heartbeat grew louder. Kobee refused to break the eye contact, he allowed what he had said to sink in, he allowed his gaze to fall from its intensity to a now calming glow.
After a few moments Kobee looked away, he felt his cheeks grow warm but he kept it well hidden and instead dipped his head down to lap up some of the water that was rippling around his torso. His claws extended out into the sand and he clawed at the ground below, the rough texture against his paw pads was soothing and he closed his eyes.
Flashes of the past few months played in his mind. He couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed as he realised what had been happening. Here he was, the once abandoned cub, adopted by a stranger. He grew around one other lion his whole life and ever since the passing of Kima he had grown into the lion that was standing next to Kiana now. He couldn’t believe it. Part of him felt as though he had betrayed his whole family by falling for Kiana, but the other part felt relieved. They abandoned him and he had to remember that, why did the family who didn’t want him deserve his loyalty.
Kobee scowled at himself for having such thoughts. Nala was a beautiful mother and he was grateful to have her in his life and he honestly didn’t feel bitter about what she had done. He was grateful for his childhood with Kima, he was grateful that he had had the opportunity to grow into the lion that he was. But even though he appreciated all of that he would never again deny himself from his own feelings. He loved Kiana and he wasn’t going to let his overpowering respect for his family stand in the way again.
~~
The silence was consuming the oasis once more, and it was making Kiana feel a bit uneasy. Perhaps it was because of the words she let linger in the air a little too long.
Kiana had been trained her entire life to be able to speak in front of others regally. Yet with Kobee, it seemed her words were always lost -- SHE was always lost. It was something she both loved and hated.
Kiana looked to Kobee, she watched him moved. Watched him lap up the water and enjoy it. She could tell that his mind was somewhere else, and she so desperately wanted to know where. But, she didn't want to push him - not when he was just getting comfortable again.
Kiana moved forward, submerging her belly in the water, and finally became neck to neck with Kobee. She was right beside him, and she could feel his warmth.
She looked to his eyes, and was lost in them for a few seconds. Then, she looked away with embarrassment.
But something caught her eye.
The reflection of the two of them together, standing side by side in the sweet oasis.
Kiana looked down to their reflection. He looked peaceful, calm. His body was much bigger than hers, and he practically towered over her. And then there was her. So petite and graceful.
Both of them were radiant, the sun reflecting off their fur beautifully. And their eyes shone bright, full of content.
Kiana couldn't help but blush at the view, yet she couldn't draw her eyes away from it.
"Wow.." she managed to mumble under her breath. It was astonishing to Kiana. Almost as if she has never seen the reflection of herself before. The concept was so new to her.
