Zarkon and Elara weren't talking to each other. She wasn't sleeping in the same bed as him after he called her all kinds of nasty names. Zarkon was getting himself ready for bed when he came upon a particular holopad he hasn't seen in a while. Out of curiosity be looked through it, seeing moments of their earlier years, like their teen years, the time Koltor was a tiny little baby, and memories started flooding in.

Memory-

Zarkon, 20, and Elara, 18, are very much a thing and have been a thing for a year now. She's the calm, loving one and he's the intimidating, possessive one in the relationship. They were very in love, it's obvious. Right now Elara was talking to her brother about something in a palace hall and once he left, Elara was checking her very long to do on her holopad.

She didn't realize Sniv around until she felt smack to the behind which her yelp and whip around in surprise.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" She growled.

"Calm down princess! Somebody had to tell your behind looks nice!" He flirted.

"Keep your nasty hands off of me!" Elara yelled.

"It was a sign of endearment."he purred.

"Endearment?" Sniv heard a deep, male voice ask from behind him.

He felt a large hand grip the back of his neck and hurl him away from Elara.

"What did he do to you?" Zarkon asked her, glaring at Sniv with an arm around her waist.

"He slapped my behind." She pouted in disgust.

"He. Did. What?" Zarkon growled, his bottom left eyelid twitching..

"Relax bro it was a joke!" Sniv said.

"It wasn't funny. It was disrespectful for you to touch my woman the way you did." Zarkon growled.

Elara watched her significant other beat a lesson into Sniv. She didn't feel bad at all. When he was done, lovey dovey mode turned on.

"He can't bother you anymore, my dear purple angel." He said as he hugged her.

"Thank Sir tall, dark, and scaly." She chuckled.

He laughed at that and stayed with her to spoil her with affection.

End of flashback-

"You don't deserve her Zarkon..." He huffed at himself.

He realized he screwed up again and needed her back. He started thinking of ways to win her over and lose a few hours of sleep in the process.
