"Dad!" Simba shouted. He jumped down from the wall and ran over to Timon, almost turning the running hug into a tackle. Timon pulled an exaggerated face as he picked Simba up, then let him slide to the ground again.
"Geez, you're getting too big for me! Pumbaa, take over."
Pumbaa, laughing, swooped Simba up and hung him upside down. With a slightly softer smile, Timon watched them for a moment, then shooked his head.
"Watch out, or you'll shake his brains out. Oh, hello Nala. Nice to see you."
Nala shifted slightly where she sat, but smiled. "Hello, Mr. Poa."
"Please, Timon," replied Timon, pulling a face as if hearing his surname put him off. Nala giggled. "Seriously, Pumbaa, put him down. Say, have you got a lift home for this evening?"
There was something slightly hasty about Nala's nod, Simba thought, but then again it was a little difficult to tell from upside down. He gave a yelp of laughter as he was turned the right way up again and then plonked down. "My Mom's gonna pick me up," she said. "She's just running a bit late, I think."
"Do you want someone to wait with you?" suggested Pumbaa. "I can stay here while Timon and Simba head home."
"No, I'm good, thank you," she replied. "She shouldn't be too long, anyway."
There was a moment pause, then Timon nodded, his smile becoming a little gentler in that way which Simba had come to recognise but still didn't quite understand. "All right, then. Well, have a good weekend, and say hi to your Mom and Dad for me."
"Will do," she replied with a smile, and then Simba grabbed Pumbaa's hand and gave a big wave as they started back down the street to where it was easier to park.
"How does lasagna for dinner sound?" suggested Timon, as they rounded the corner and the sun came out from behind the clouds to paint the whole road in bright colours.

Thank you! ^^ I really enjoyed this because it let me play around with the Disney family set-ups... considered mentioning Aurora's three mothers, but decided against it. I'm glad it didn't feel too issue-y... little kids are just awesome, really.

I love that one of the things that you do is show the differences in families (single mums, single dads, raised by sibling, two dads, mum and dad) as well as sexuality differences, like the remark about Simba not wanting to kiss anyone. It’s nice to see asexuality being alluded to. And I’m repeating what others have said, but I love the mentions of other Disney characters. The idea that they all know each other makes me happy.

This is the best Disney Human AU I've read. I honestly could read more of this 'verse; the idea of Timon and Pumbaa being Simba's dad is lovely and the conversation that Simba and Nala have about sexuality is brilliantly done in a way where it's in innocent, with them (presumably) being kids in this, but yet so accepting. And the mentions of other Disney families made me go all warm and fuzzy.

Simba grinned. "Perfect."
And it was.
