#1 of When male lions play

Well, I am back.

I have brought to you this story, it is vey late at night where I am and my computer is playing up, it doesn't want to type properly, so I have decided to write this in a few parts. I have checked this as best I can to assure that it is readable, my keyboard is enjoying fucking up. I try to type something and it types something else.

This section of the story has no yiff, however there is a very cute relationship developing. The next chapter I promise will be full of sex, and it will be detailed.

Hopefully I will have that written within 48 hours.

Just a new look at a relationship between two wonderful male lions that I have loved since I was only a cub.

Anyway

love you all

Happy reading.


"I love you daddy"

"I love you too Kiara, be safe"

The King of the Pride lands, Simba purred, nuzzling his daughters shoulder, feeling her head brushing through his great mane. Her hunting trip would take Kiara away from the Pride lands for a few days, Herself and multiple of her pride sisters were leaving to follow the migration of the herds.

Simba stepped back from the young lioness, stepping aside to allow another young lion through, Kovu lowering his head in a small bow to his mate, Kiara leaning in to him and nuzzling his mane, as she had just done to her fathers.

"I will miss you" is all the young male said, a small amount of fear in his voice, since he had joined the pride, Kiara had never left for more than a few hours, but now she was leaving him for three days minimum.

"I will miss you too, but its only a few days" Kiara licked across the young felines muzzle then turned to look at her father, the look on her face was all to familiar to Simba. Her sweet yet concerned look that said 'please be nice to him'.

Simba just chuckled lightly

"You will be alright Kovu" putting a paw on his shoulder and rubbing softly. Kovu slightly surprised by the kings comforting.

Kiara smiled, then turned around, slowly walking away, she took a deep breath, hoping her father would get along with her mate whilst she was away. Simba had actually been fairly good after the battle against the outsiders, allowing Kovu to re-join the pride and be her mate. Never had Simba argued or protested anything about the younger male since then and never had he tried to prove himself dominant, probably because he was a much larger lion than Kovu, also Kovu had never tried to seem dominant, he always acted in a very submissive manner around Simba and all the other lioness.

"Its only a few days" she told herself.

"Plus, mum is staying, as well as a few older lioness, he will be fine" trying to lower her nerves, hoping her mate would be okay.

Kovu and Simba sat watching Kiara and twelve other lioness walk into the distance, after only a few minutes they were just black silhouettes on the horizon, the sky turning a deep orange and purple as the sun set in the west. Its heat still covering the land.

Standing, Kovu turned to walk back towards pride rock, he and Simba had fair welled the hunting party from a small hill no more than 100 metres from the rock. As he started to pad his way back, he heard the kings voice, soft and somewhat different than usual, as if concerned.

"Kovu"

"Yes, your majesty?" the young lion delaying his return to the rock, turning towards the king, tilting his head down slightly in a submissive manner.

the king chuckled "Please, call me Simba," then in a more concerned tone again,

"Are you alright Kovu?"

"Yes, I am, thank you" speaking softly, Kovu didn't understand why he felt that he needed to, but whenever he was around the king, he always felt intimidated.

Simba stood and turned towards the younger male, the hunting party could no longer be seen and the sun had almost disappeared. Walking towards Kovu, Simba nudged him gently with his forehead then turned to make his way back to Pride rock.

" She will be fine, come on, we better head back, its getting dark"

Kovu simply nodded and followed the king back to the rock, padding up the side of the alter and up the ramp that lead towards the den. Waiting at the entrance, Nala smiled, nuzzling Simba and giving him a light peck on his muzzle.

"Love you"

"Love you too" the king rumbled warmly.

Kovu nodded towards Nala, acknowledging her then continuing into the cave. Simba looked back outside and sighed, the stars staring to appear in the sky. A gentle breeze blew around his face, his mane swishing in the brief air current. He smiled towards his fathers star, nodding and smiling.

"Good night dad" he chimed, turning to Nala again and leaning in to her, pressing his lips gently against hers and opening them in a passionate kiss, pushing his raspy tongue into her muzzle and feeling the insides of her cheeks. Nala moaned and returned the kiss, giving the same treatment to her mate. Slowly, they both parted, Simba pecking her on the nose before smiling.

"Why am I so lucky, to have a mate as beautiful as you"

Nala laughed, "because your father arranged our marriage"

Slightly upset at the unromantic response, the king whined "My father was long dead by the time we fell in love, in the jungle, remember."

"Oh yes, and your two gay foster parents watched us whistled we fucked and they sang a song" Nala continued to tease, loving it when her mate got all defensive of himself.

"There is nothing wrong with them being gay, plus they were great parents to me, really they were friends to me, brothers who cared for me." becoming quite emotional, Simba turned to walk away, Nala put a paw on his shoulder, trying not to laugh, knowing it would only upset her husband more.

"I'm sorry darling, I was just teasing, and yes, Timon and Pumba are great members of this pride, they are so kind, I was just having fun with you, I didn't mean to upset you."

"Its okay, It's just. I haven't been feeling great lately" the king replied.

"You like him don't you?" Nala asked, she had seen it in the way Simba looked at Kovu, it was the same way he had looked at a few other males that lived in the pride. A look of cheek and desire, his cubbish smile whenever he saw the young lion, it was obvious to her that Simba was attracted to Kovu, and why wouldn't he be. The younger lion certainly had great physical qualities, he was well built, had a very well established mane for his age, and the way it flicked at the fringe gave it a really hot look to it. Not to mention Kovu was a very kind lion, Nala had seen him around Kiara, always making sure she came first and that she was okay. He was quite the gentleman.

Simba went wide eyed at his mates question, he knew she would not care if he liked Kovu, she was perfectly okay with him being bisexual, She knew he loved the company of a male lion and was in fact quite submissive around certain males, but that was a secret. The reason Simba was wide eyed was not because of him worrying she would care, but more the fact that she knew he liked Kovu, was it that obvious? was that why Kovu always seemed so shy and uncomfortable around him? Did Kovu know? because that would be a very bad thing, he did not want Kovu to know that he liked him.

"You do, don't you?" she insisted

sighing, the king dropped his shoulders.

"I do think he is kind of cute, the way he smiles and just...."

"Its okay Simba, I am fine with it, if you want to pursue it"

"NO!" Simba blurted out

"Why not, I'm sure Kovu would be honoured that you love him"

"What if I scare him, what if he doesn't like me back"

"Simba, I have watched both you and him, the way he acts around you is very different compared to how he acts around the other males in the pride, with you he becomes very submissive"

"I think that's because I scare him, I am the king and about and extra half bigger than him"

"Well, why don't you just talk to him, he seems a bit upset that Kiara is gone, go comfort him, I am sure he will appreciate it, if he likes you, he will tell you, if he doesn't, then it doesn't matter, her will see your comforting as an act of kindness"

Simba looked down at his forepaws, "I don't know Nala"

Padding from the darkness behind them, they heard a voice, "I couldn't help but over hear your conversation"

Sarafina approached the couple, smiling and sitting in front of them.

"In my opinion Simba, I think Nala is correct, plus the poor boy is laying down in the corner alone and shivering, it is the perfect time to go comfort him, cuddle up for the night, keep him warm and talk to him, he doesn't seem the slightest bit tired, he wont sleep without comfort."

"Thanks Mum," Nala smiled, Sarafina smiled back then turned and walked back into the cave, finding her usual bedding spot, next to Vitani and Sarabi.

"I don't know Nala, If I get close he may suspect I like him"

"Simba that is ridiculous, all us lioness sleep huddled up, but we are not doing it in a sexual manner, its not seen as lesbian, no one thinks we love each other anymore than sisters. You have slept with males before, and it never meant anything romantic. Kovu with see it as nothing more than a kind gesture"

"You think so?"

"I know so, come on, its getting late" Nala turned, Simba followed as they both walked into the den, the air was cool and quite bitter, the suns heat had not penetrated the cave, leaving it almost icy.

Nala smiled and nodded towards Kovu.

"Go on, nothing bad can come from it" She whispered, urging Simba to accompany the younger male, Nala then walked over to her brother Mheetu and laid down next to him, he raised his fore paws and greeted her with a hug, embracing each other they drifted off to sleep.

Simba stood in the middle of the den, looking around, Nala was now unavailable to sleep with, the only available being was Kovu, and the cave was far to cold to sleep alone.

"Ahh fuck it" Simba cursed to himself. Looking over at the young auburn male, the king padded over and stood above him. Kovu really was shivering and was that sobbing he could hear coming from him? Simba leaned in.

"Kovu?" he whispered

The young lion jumped, not hearing the king approach him. He then turned his head and looked up at the older lion. A tear running down his face and over his muzzle.

Seeing the tear, Simba put a paw on Kovu's shoulder,

"Why are you crying?"

"I miss her, and" he sobbed again "I'm afraid"

"afraid of what Kovu, your completely safe here." Simba rubbed his paw up and down the young lions shoulder.

"I'm afraid of being alone and unwanted"

"Unwanted?"

"After you got attacked, no one really trusts me and I don't know how I can prove to you that I am not what I used to be"

"Oh Kovu" Simba laid down next to him, wrapping his paws around the sobbing lion and pulling him in close.

"I trust you Kovu, you don't have to prove anything"

Kovu stuttered, surprised at the kings embrace.

"What are you doing?"

"Its a cold night and you were alone, I thought you might need some body warmth" the king smiled and nuzzled Kovu gently.

Kovu's heart warmed, never had someone been like this to him, yes Kiara was, but she was his mate. But having Simba hug him, that was an entirely different feeling. He felt so soft and caring.

"Relax Kovu, I just want to make sure you are okay, you seemed pretty down" Simba's previous nerves had dropped, Kovu seemed to be taking things well.

"Thank you, Simba. It means a lot. I. I didn't think you liked me"

"Nonsense, Kovu you are family now. I love you you"

As soon as he said it, Simba's face froze, had he really just said that out aloud, to Kovu. 'fuck'

Kovu stared up at Simba, shocked at what the king just said.

"You love me?" Kovu started crying again.

"Kovu I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." Kovu interrupted him

"No Simba, don't apologize, its just, no one has ever told me that they love me."

Simba was in shock once again, the poor lion boy had never been loved, this was too much for him, he had to tell him.

"Well, the thing is, I do love you Kovu, I think you are a very nice young lion"

"Really?" Kovu couldn't believe it, he was loved by someone. But Simba was a male, was this right, was this ok?

"Kovu, you are my family know, and I love my family"

Simba continued talking, but Kovu stopped listening, his mind was to occupied with a new issue. He was raised by his mother to take the pridelands and then be with a lioness for the rest of his life, she had never mentioned if a guy and a guy could be together, was that even a thing. How would males mate each other. Simba stopped talking and looked down at the young male.

"Kovu, would you like to go some place private?"

Kovu looked at him puzzled.

"Why would we go somewhere private?"

"Well I thought you and I might like to sleep somewhere else, where no one will see us"

Kovu realised what Simba meant, he wanted to mate with him, but how did he know he wanted the same, what would give Simba that idea. The king shifted his position slightly and all of a sudden, Kovu understood why Simba thought he was interested in mating. When Simba moved, Kovu could feel his own erect cock brush through Simba's fur, he hadn't noticed it until now. It must have been the naughty thoughts of what he and Simba could do.

"Kovu?"

"Ummm, can we have a chat first?"

"No problem, whats the problem?" the king asked eagerly.

"Uhh, I know nothing about males loving each other, I didn't know it was possible"

Slightly confused Simba explained.

"Two males can love each other, I have been with multiple males, but if you do not feel comfortable with it, we don't have to"

"No , Im fine with it"

'Score' Simba thought to himself.

"I just, don't know what to do" Kovu admitted.

"Follow me, we can go somewhere private, I can teach you a few things" Simba chuckled, standing and then walking deeper into the caves of Pride rock, Kovu stood and followed him, feeling rather nervous.

'I have been having these strange feelings' Kovu thought to himself, 'feelings that I desire something.... between me and Simba. Maybe this is it'

After walking for a few minutes, the two stopped in a small private area within the caves, Simba turned to Kovu and smiled.

"are you sure you want this"

"Im not exactly sure what to expect or what we are doing"

"Well, we are both pretty tired, so for tonight we can just cuddle and sleep together, but tomorrow we can try a few things"

"Umm, okay then,"

Simba laid down and signalled for Kovu to join him, the younger lion walked over and slipped down into Simba's embrace.

"Don't be shy Kovu, let your paws roam wherever you want them to"

Kovu just nodded, reaching around Simba's waist and hugging him, resting his head into the kings mane, he could hear the big lions heart beat, the deep beating pulsing through him. Simba began to purr lightly, the gentle rumbling soothing Kovu. For some strange reason, he no longer felt anxious around Simba, As if a sheet of fear and shyness was lifted off of him. He began to rub his paws around the kings back and he looked up at Simba, who only smiled and then leaned his head down, softly touching muzzles, they made their first kiss.

It began quite shyly, lips rubbing and making small pecks on each others chins and cheeks. Then Simba placed a paw on the back of Kovu's neck pulling him in softly, their lips touching for a few seconds then pecking again at each other, Kovu's confidence jumped and he extended his tongue and ran it across the kings muzzle. That was enough to unleash the animal inside Simba, pulling Kovu's muzzle against his, he lathered the young lions lips with his tongue. Surprisingly, Kovu returned the kiss, the homosexual kiss became an all natural feeling for him. He parted his lips and allowed Simba's tongue to roam the insides of his maw. Suckling on the kings tongue slightly, eliciting a moan from the majestic beast.

Countless minutes went by, their tongue wrestling lasted for at east 15 minutes, Simba was the one to break the kiss, licking across Kovu's lips then drawing back, chuckling slightly.

"You really got the hang of that quite quickly, your actually a pro."

"Thank you Simba, tonight really meant a lot to me"

Simba ran his paws through Kovu's fur and grabbed his rump.

"Tomorrow, we can get to know each other a bit better, but for tonight, I think its best we just cuddle "

Kovu smiled, leaning in and resting his head on Simba's chest, Tomorrow would be a experience that Kovu would never forget, and he could not wait for the dawn to come.

As Kovu drifted into slumber, Simba held him tight, for tomorrow held a day neither of them would ever forget.
