[I'm rearranging the timeline a little. Haben and Noah's reunion maybe just happened a week or so after he got back from the month long trip. Does that work? Lol]

Haben, Robin, Sullivan, and Austin had been back at the Haven for a couple of weeks. The appearance of Noah had been surprising, but welcomed. Haben had managed to avoid Africa entirely on their travels, even though Robin had wanted to see where Haben had come from. He wasn't ready to own up to who he was, but Noah's presence was making him start to face the reason's he'd run away in the first place.

He was sitting by the water, feet dangling over the edge of the makeshift dock that jutted out into the small lake on the territory. Looking over his journal, he slowly paged through it, making notes here and there about the sketches he'd done of the memories he'd had.

Noah was on his way back from a shift, his jeans on, but his shirt had gotten lost. It was an expensive shirt, but he wasn't too upset about it. He headed over to the deck where he saw Haben sitting, and he smiled he went over to his friend.

"Hey," he greeted. "What're you looking at?" he asked as he settled down and rolled his jeans up to put his feet in the water as well. "Where's your bff, Julian?" he teased with a gentle bump of his shoulder against the other lion.

Noah always smelled so good after a shift. As much as Haben didn't want to go home to the turmoil of his country and the responsibility of his crown, he still could enjoy the familiar scent of a fellow lion. Turning his head, he leaned over to press his nose to the other boy's bare shoulder. He inhaled deeply, appreciating it unabashedly.

"Hmm, I don't know. Probably inside singing something to someone," he muttered good naturedly against Noah's skin. "And this is my travel journal. Some guy gave it to me and said I should write about my life in it." It had been one of the people who'd helped him--but had used him too. Haben had run into a lot of those people and even though he'd been far, far too young for the sorts of things they'd done together, he never begrudged them.

	Noah looked at the pictures, and he smiled softly. It was nice to know that Haben had thought about him that often, and written to him. He turned his head and brushed a kiss against the other lion's cheek before he laid back on the deck and looked up at the sky. "You really don't miss home at all?" he asked after a moment.

	"By the order of you?" Noah repeated, arching a brow as a grin of amusement tugged at the corners of his mouth. "You're terrible at ordering people around," he added as he opened his eyes before he closed them again and relaxed. "Do you think I'll ever find someone like Robin to love like you do?" he asked after a moment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Noah tipped his head back and watched Haben walk away for a moment before he got up to follow after him. He gently caught the other boy's elbow and tugged him back before he slipped a hand into Haben's. "You just think what?" he asked after a moment with a frown. "It's okay, you can tell me."

	Noah lifted a hand up to allow his fingertips to move along the side of Haben's arm in a silent tip toe. He wet his lips as his head tipped to the side, and a quiet sigh escaped him. "I don't know if I'll ever go back. Without you there, what's the point, really? I'd like to go back to Africa one day, but not to the Pride, no." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Haben laughed at the very notion of a pride of lions taking orders from a wolf. But when Noah asked his last question, Haben's laughter died off. "You would want to?" He didn't think Robin would react well to such a request. Then again, the time away had done wonders for all four of them--or at least it had in Haben's optimistic opinion.

	"Yeah, if you and he wanted to," Noah said after a moment as he opened his eyes to stare over at the grass. "It gets lonely on my own sometime. I miss the way we'd all pile up together back in Africa sometimes, you know?" It'd felt safe, secure, and Noah had felt wanted. Now he didn't really feel any of those things, and it made him frown.

	"You smell good to me," he said with a laugh, but he did let him up, not wanting to give in to the sudden temptation to just ask if he could join him. He got to his feet, pushing his hair out of his face. There was mud on his feet from being damp and walking in the woods. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Noah laughed softly, though when Haben pulled away he felt all of the mirth sink out of his bones. He got up and dusted himself off as he shook his hair out of his eyes, wondering if he'd ever feel something for someone else like he did for the other lion. He wasn't so sure, and it was fucking depressing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	[I like the second one, too! I think Noah took off when he was about 16ish, maybe he got picked to be some dbags mate and he was like eff this and took off to find Haben on his own, and he hasn't talked about it with Haben at all because he doesn't really plan to go home so he doesn't see the point?] (Reply to this)(Parent)
