Home was comfortable right now. Yawning widely, Ahzure was sunbathing on a large, flat rock. His dark coat was perfect for sunbathing. With the winter months coming up the pride felt like it dropped twenty degrees at night. So he had to warm himself up because honestly? Ahzure didn't curl up anywhere near anyone else. Letting his tail flick this way and that the dark male with the brilliant blue eyes looked like he was enjoying life to the fullest. The hunting party wasn't do to go out for another few hours so he had plenty of time to just be lazy and relaxed. Unless of course, someone with a very high position of power made him stop.
Yawning widely, those blue eyes opened a bit more and flipped over to his back, paws in the air. What was running through his mind right now was 'Aw yes, this is the life!' It really it was. But then one of those cold, dusty winds blew and the male was cold again. Shivering heavily he grumbled bout something and snorted, curling up into himself.
"I hate winter."

"Better a chill than an all-encompassing heat," Kovu purred, light on his paws as he approached his hunting captain. Perhaps it was a bit cruel to scare the other lion, but. Well. Their friendship had never been one of reassurances and kindness. Falling back to his haunches, the King smiled in amusement at his head hunter, tail flicking in amusement at the spectacle. Outlanders were a tough breed, yes, but they certainly enjoyed their time to relax.
"Besides, you lazy a**, that's what we have fur for. In case you'd forgotten," he reminded, tone terribly chastising and humored. What good were friends if you couldn't make fun of each other? Or knock one another around? It was good, mindless fun. No worries of kingship and royalty passed Kovu's mind when he was in Ahzure's company.
And speaking of- Ahzure seemed far too relax for Kovu's tastes. While he didn't expect it, the king could get a wonderful advantage on his friend. Slightly unsheathing his claws (not enough to do damage, but enough to startle his friend), Kovu gave him a good whack on the flank.
"How have you been, anyway? I've gotten reports on hunts, but not your personal life. I'm almost offended, Ahzure." He spoke this demurely, as though he hadn't just hit the other.
Yes, this was exactly how friends should get on.

He knew that voice. He didn't bother turning around and then felt the familiar stinging butt slap with claws and shifted to jump onto Kovu's back like he was a cub or something. Rough housing with friends was something he enjoyed. Especially with Kovu because who the hell cared if he was rough housing the king as long as there was no real threat or damage? His teeth went for the male's ear before he rolled to one side and stood on his paws, stretching out almost lazily.
Oh, he was ready for whatever Kovu through his way after this, but right now, he was happy he got an ear bite and a tackle in. "Well, be offended, because there's nothing to update you on! I hunt, I.... hunt and I hunt." He mocked thought at that and gave an almost stupid nod to go with it. "That's pretty much it. No females have swayed me to look at them more than subordinates yet." A grin broke out and something sparkled in his blue eyes. It was the truth. There was no one that'd he would put up with like he put up with Kovu. Everyone else was just boring. Too submissive, to complacent with their lives. He wanted someone outgoing and playful. Someone to challenge him.
Not... some simple minded, happy all the time female. That wouldn't do anything to help them reclaim what was theirs. Argh, females like that pissed him off.
"They're too happy, most of the females, anyway."

Thankfully Ahzure wasn’t seeing how long he could stay on- Kovu wasn’t really at the energy to try bucking him off, and it would have been humiliating. No way was he losing anything to Ahzure! Sure, the pride was used to their nonsense by now, but losing to someone beneath his status… he internally shuddered at the thought. Kovu did, however, growl at the bite, getting one last whack in on Ahzure as he flopped off.
“I’m terribly offended, Ahzure. You wound me,” he teased, chuckling softly. Turning to glance at his friend, Kovu looked him over, and snorted in disbelief. Oh, he knew the trouble with the females here. That was the closest of their similarities, though. The lionesses who kept Kovu’s company sought power- nothing more. He’d learned that much from Nzasi.
“You’ll find a lady-love some day, I’m certain. If I can find someone to spend my life with, so can you.” Kovu paused a moment, seemingly in serious thought, and grinned.
“Maybe you could even warm Nzasi up! Cuddle close to her, Warlord and Head Hunter,” Kovu laughed, a rich and hearty thing. Perhaps it was a bit cruel. But, alas, that was how their friendship worked. His laughter subsided into soft chuckles, and Kovu shook his head in amusement.
“I’m sure you’ll find a regular rotten apple to fall in pace with you.”

Cuddle up to...
He didn't look so amused at that, but he was used to it. Sighing, Ahzure rolled those pretty blue eyes of his and then moved to lunge at the lion, pushing him backwards and laid down on him. Quite comfortably, mind you. The darker male wondered how long Kovu was going to let him stay like that. Bets were not very long at all.
Though the pride was used to them, sometimes the newer members gave them funny looks. He'd heard a whisper that they were gay lovers once. A mischievous grin appeared on Ahzure's face before he put a paw on Kovu's face and rose himself up, rubbing that cheek with his paw this way and that. It made Kovu make funny faces and drew a dark, deep laugh from Ahzure.
"Did you know we're gay lovers, by the way? Heard a whisper on the winds, of sorts. I wish I was aware of it when it happened. I'm afraid I've been a piss poor mate for you, Kovu. What with me wanting a female and all that."

Oh, good. He’d riled Ahzure up. Pleased with his efforts, Kovu allowed himself a moment of relaxation and peace- only to have it overthrown. The second his friend was upon his back, Kovu growled in anger, ears flattening and teeth bared. Ahzure was in for a world of hurt, when Kovu got his claws on him. Maybe he’d leave his friend a few nice scars. That would be a good reminder of who was in charge around here.
The paw on his face, pulling this way and that, was the last straw of his patience. Kovu gave a snarl of annoyance, tensing his legs and then springing upward to buck Ahzure off of him. It was the most effort he would give for the day, however. Even he, the busy and often-worrying king, could take a day to simply relax. Lowering back down, Kovu laid upon the warm rock, and sighed.
“Yes, I’d heard some rumor of that. It certainly explains the looks I’ve been getting.” He chuckled, mood lightening at the subject. His and Ahzure’s friendship, and the conversations it had caused, were wonderfully amusing. Even his father’s stern looks and disgruntled sighs could not shake the humor from the situation.
“It’s left me terribly lonely, you know. The cave gets so cold at night. If only you were there, we could toss one another about like this. Then cuddle. I do know how fond you are of cuddling.”

"I know you know I love to cuddle." He said, grinning from ear to ear. They were idiots. The pair of them and he knew it. Still, once they got going this way, there was little stopping them.
When he was bucked, Ahuzre only laughed again and then let the king get up on the rock he'd previously occupied. That was what Kovu was after, ultimately, it seemed. Hanging his head, he looked up and half pouted at the King. "But, boo-bear, we can't let everyone know my secret!" He moved over to Kovu and petted his mane softly before snorting and letting his tail flick this way and that again. "If everyone were to find out, then I might not be able to sneak in the den and have our guy time."
He was trying not to burst out laughing at this right now. "I can come tonight, though, if you want," he said, grinning as he pushed their faces very close to one another.

“It’s because I know you so well. I’m your…” Kovu stopped a moment, frowning in thought. What was the funnier thing to supply here? He wasn’t certain. Humor wasn’t typically his focus, but with Ahzure, he could drop the continuous worry. Ahzure was relaxing, and easy.
Even if they were idiots, the pair of them. How Tiah and Sukari stood them, Kovu would never understand. They had far more patience than he did. Particularly Sukari! The things they’d gotten up to in their cubhood… Kovu wouldn’t have survived it. And when he had to raise heirs…
“Well.” Kovu continued, shrugging lightly. “I can’t quite think of the appropriate word. But it’s somewhere, I’m certain. Ask me later, I’m likely to have it for you.”
His humor returned at the mention of Boo-bear, and Kovu gave his friend an incredulous look. Of all the ridiculous nicknames he’d received, that one may have been the worst. So help him, if Ahzure used that in front of anyone else…
“Oh, certainly, pookie. I’d love to have you over tonight,” Kovu droned, somehow keeping the amusement from his voice. Rather hoping to out-annoy Ahzure, he licked right along the bridge of his friend’s nose, making certain the fur stuck up every-which way.
“So there.”
