The Lion Guard: Brotherly Love

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Nyani Grove.

"How's Mari?" Fuli asked.

"She's fine." Kion said.

Kion glanced at Ono.

Ono nodded, and took to the sky.

He returned a moment later, and settled down on Beshte's back.

"It's all clear." Ono said.

"Thanks, Ono." Beshte said.

Kion cleared his throat.

"I need to go. Kovu wants to see me." He said.

Fuli nodded.

"Have a good time." She said warmly.

Kion turned, and bounded off.

When he reached Pride Rock, he saw Kovu settled down outside the den.

Kion padded forward, and stretched to nuzzle Kovu's cheek.

"Hi Kovu." Kion said.

Kovu's expression softened.

"Hi Kion" Kovu said.

Kion crawled into Kovu's paws, and nestled against him.

"How was your patrol?" Kovu asked.

"It was fine." Kion said.

He pressed himself against Kovu's pelt.

"I love you." Kion said.

Kovu rubbed a paw against Kion's cheek.

"I love you too." He answered.

“Can we hunt together tonight?” Kion asked.

Kovu nodded.

“Of course we can.” He said warmly.

Meanwhile, Nita had met up with Rafiki at his tree.

She was helping him sort borage leaves.

"How is Mari?" Rafiki asked.

"She's fine" Nita said.

Nita moved closer, and leaned against Rafiki's side.

"I love you." Nita said.

Rafiki's expression softened.

"I love you too." He said.
