Lonely Foreboding

A/N: The fill that this prompt was inspired by (http://disney-kink.livejournal.com/361.html?thread=1067113#t1067113) is definitely an inspiration and influenced to this fic, but I’d imagine that there were other influences and whatnot. And that scene with Yoda as Order 66 is carried out in Revenge of the Sith (Star Wars), was also on my mind. Enjoy!
From the moment that Rafiki got to hold Mufasa and Scar as newly born cubs in his arms, he loved them both the same amount. He did not love one more than the other. There was no such differentiation in his mind. They were both the King’s sons and he loved them both. They were both deserving of love and care to him; regardless of anything that would happen in their later lives.
As the years passed by: as both reached adulthood, as Mufasa became the King of the Pride Lands, as Scar’s envy was getting more and more apparent there were a few things that Rafiki began to realize.
Rafiki reached the very heartbreaking realization that he was the only one who loved both Scar and Mufasa with equal measure. The lion pride and the animals living in the Pride Lands primarily focused their love of the former King’s sons on the current King, and did not notice or care about Scar. As far as he could tell, Scar’s only defender was Rafiki himself. And this realization was both lonely and distressing.
He had a horrible sense of foreboding that hurt him tremendously as he thought about it one day inside his baobab tree: that made his heart ache deeply, that hurt him in such a profound way that it was hard to express. That the lack of attention and care towards Scar combined with the obvious jealousy that Scar carried with him towards his own brother… it was not going to end well for the Pride Lands.
