#blue planet of the apes

[reddesires]

Imagine our boys when their S/O sneezes but not that quiet sneeze, its like the dad sneeze like my soul leaves my body, i think im dying kind of dad sneeze 😭 and then their S/O just looks at them being confused of their weird stares 💀

A/N: I love them. They're goofy in their own individualistic ways. Honestly, I feel they have such vast differences in their personalities that it's really funny to me when you think about their reactions in different kind of situations. This was definitely a favorite of mine.

Caesar:

Mf gives you the side eye. Nothing is said as you look at him with a straight face while he still stares at you from the corner of his eye. Why tf is he even looking at you like that?

"Don't even look at me, you know for damn sure that your folks sneezed too." he slowly looks at you head on. "You sneeze too alike to them. " Your jaw drops at the implication. Be so forreal right now! Is he suggesting that you sneeze like a grown man?!

The horror and offense clear on your face as Caesar goes back to his task, yeah no there's no way you're allowing that kind of disrespect as you jump him from behind. "Take that back fucker!"

Noa:

Noa tries his hardest to hold back the holler of laughter trying to escape him, snot shooting out his nostrils from the effort. You scream in shock and disgust.

"Noa! Ew!" You yell scurrying from beside him, hooting laughter racking through his body "you sneeze like the Elders" You gasp in embarrassed  offense, that was an insult to another plain, between you and the trio, being compared to the Elders there was nothing worse.

You jump up to storm off in the opposite direction of him, determined to get away from him, but he's already chasing after you "No Echo! Don't go!" He's struggling from the amused huffs plaguing him and trying to catch his breath as he throws himself onto your back, your body crumbling from his weight. "Get off, you stinky monkey!"

Blue Eyes:

Poor baby jumps in shock at the booming noise that escaped you, his head slowly turning in your direction as you innocently look at him, your wide doe looking eyes gazing back him. Nothing is said as you two stare back at each other. He bewilderedly looks around before signing at you.

"Was.. that you?" You scrunch your eyebrows in feign confusion at his question."What was me?" He frowns his chin jutting into his neck, the furrow in his brow showing his clear perplexity, you stifle a laugh as you watch him question himself.

Koba:

As soon as the sneeze is out of you, Koba smacks the shit out of you, your head ducking at the force of his palm, you immediately hold the back of your head.

"What the fuck was that for Koba?!" You yell, rubbing the spot his hard ass hand landed upon. "Shut up" he says nonchalantly a shit eating smirk sitting on his face, bruh as if you could control a natural bodily function.

What did you do to deserve this disrespect? You grumble as you massage your sore spot, the glare he directs your way, only making you throw the middle finger at him. "Mean ass fucker."

Noa and Mae + bonding

From Mae taking something important representing the bond between apes and eagles/clan from Noa, to Noa freely giving something important that's representing the bond between apes and humans to Mae.

Some sketches of the characters from Planet of the apes- just watched all the newer movies and absolutely loved them 🫶

[death---dealer]

Berry Foraging. ( Planet of the Apes Imagines. )

Characters below includes: Ceasar, Noa, Anaya and Soona ( The Trio babey. ), Blue Eyes, Koba. Prompt: You've gone Berry Foraging. How would the scenario play out with each characters? Rating: T. ( Some language, primarily in Koba's LOL. ) Caesar.

The sun felt good against your skin now that you had shed your jacket, leaving you delectably exposed to the clean air. Caesar found it difficult not to watch how your shoulders move when you worked, when you shifted next to him to dive inwards towards the blackberry bush in front of the two of you. As simple as an activity it was, and as easy as it was for the Ape King to pin the task on someone else, to have you escorted to the Red Woods to pick berries, he did relish in the mild silence that surrounded the two of you as you intently placed your fingers against a vine and inspected it for ripeness, bringing it ever so closer to your face as your eyes narrowed at it. The way your mouth opened as you muttered to yourself, saying that it wasn’t ready before seeking another vine to inspect… Caesar found it difficult to actually focus on finding his own to pick. Like he would know how. Like he actively came foraging with the female Apes when they came out once a week in a group. Huffing to himself at that, he was careful to watch you.

You were surely faster than he was, deducing that the vine you had turned your attention to was more than good and you began plucking them berries off one by one, placing them delicately into the basket that was between your bent knees as you had crouched down to inspect the berry bush properly. Admittedly… This was something that Caesar had not done for years.

Well, at least since the Colony first took hold and he was demanded to be stationary there in case danger arose. Always easier to be in the same spot than to be missing in action and having tens of Apes out in the woods on horseback looking for their leader. Now, with Blue Eyes coming to age, and with the assistance from Rocket and Maurice, Caesar was able to take in moments like this, laced intricately with his favorite type of intimacy.

“No, no,” Your hands were suddenly grabbing at his own, the touch itself setting Caesar’s calloused hands alight as you grasped at them and pulled them towards you, “Do you see here?” Your pointer finger gestured at a berry at the very top of the vine that Caesar had figured was okay to pick at. Obviously not as you explained to him in a gentle voice, one that he would drown in if he was allowed, “They’re still a little green. Not ready yet.”

Were… Were you… telling him how to do this? Caesar narrowed his eyes, brow pulling in on itself as he looked at you, perplexity written completely over his expression. He chortled at that- At someone telling him what to do, how to actually do something correctly.

“Look here,” Lifting a hand up, you placed it against his bicep as your other hand reached and grasped it considerately as to not place any damage to it, “See how they’re colored? Darker?” Caesar looked at what you were referring to and gave a slight nod. Smiling at him, you squeezed where your grasp was placed on his body before pushing both hands forward and plucking the berries off with content, “That’s the color you want. Otherwise they’re going to be too bitter to eat. I don’t know any Ape who would enjoy that.”

Caesar tried to follow suit, almost mimicking your body language as he fell into a deeper crouch, inspecting the bush for what you had in turn told him to seek.

“Koba,” He said suddenly, the brazen and deep baritone of his vocals drawing you in without any regard for your other senses. He knew you liked to joke, in fact, Caesar found himself more prone to do just that when alone with you and it was a great way to put you at ease, to put you in a good mood - Or, if flirtatious in nature, enough to get you to lay with Caesar. This joke fell into the ‘good mood’ category as he finished his statement, “Koba would enjoy.”

That made you snicker, nodding in agreement. Caesar felt entranced momentarily as the sun caught your hair, giving the impression that you were ablaze as your gaze reached his own and you laughed in return, “Bitter berry for bitter Ape.” Noa, Anaya and Soona.

There were tears very visible at the corner of your eyes. Noa felt a small sense of panic wash over him at the expression, how you looked down at your feet in absolute defeat. Rested right in front of you were the remains of the berries you were so careful to pick, so careful to clean as you placed them in the wickered basket, scattered all along the floor of the woods. Now covered with mud and sediment and you were on the very verge of crying as a result. Anaya hadn’t meant to - He apologized the moment it happened, the moment the basket hit the ground and you let out a rather startling yap. Anaya swore to Noa he was just playing around, hiding behind a tree in a bid to scare you. In fact, your hands were still dangling mid-air out of shock like you were still holding the basket. Soona was silent next to Noa, her eyes looking between the raspberries and you, wondering why you were having this reaction. She then turned her attention to Noa in hopes that maybe he could translate. Unfortunately, for all three Apes, there was no clear translation. The look Noa gave her, the look Noa gave Anaya, biting around the edges but never enough to ruin a friendship, told them to back off slightly. You spoke - alerting all three of them that you were still there, not completely lost in the abandonment the poor berries must have felt being on the ground. “My… rasp… berries….” Shaking in tone, Noa tried to flank you so he could see your face but your chin was dipped and your eyes were now tracing the shapes the berries made. A few of them, in your mind at least, looked like a poorly drawn flower. You swallowed softly and looked at Noa with a distressed gaze, “They’re all gone.” Anaya yipped, “Sorry---” Noa placed a hand on his shoulder and shook his head. Removing his hand just as quickly as it was placed, Noa reached down and grasped the basket in front of you, crouching on all four in front of you to obscure the vision of your now wasted forage. The pads of his fingers lined the wickered basket, catching here and there against the rough nature of his skin as he attempted to hand it back to you, his arm extending before dropping at the crushed visual of your face. The twist in his stomach was incredibly uncomfortable as the basket was placed on the ground and suddenly, Noa was encapsulating your entire vision. He placed a hand to your cheek first, caressing the smoothness of your skin before bringing his head in to rest against your own to comfort you. You didn't move in response and Noa took a step forward in a bid to captivate your attention.  “A… A lot of bushes here, can pick more.” A small sniffle hit your nose as you nodded in agreement, suddenly aware of your mated love’s closeness. Of course there were more. You were in the middle of the woods, your favorite spot in fact, and were surrounded by many bushes, riped, lush for the picking and taking.

You sniffled again, finally breaking the awkward stance you were holding and raised a hand to wipe the underside of your nose before you grasped Noa’s forearms, beckoning him nearer, to keep him close to you so you could have a speckled moment of privacy in front of Anaya and Soona, who were entangled in their own argument about the entire situation. You could vaguely make out Soona telling Anaya to apologize again. “T-They were for you,” Noa’s eyes widened at the declaration and with that, he held you a bit closer, almost to the point where it felt like a headache was forming where your foreheads were cusped. “I picked them for you, you-you really like raspberries and we-we never have enough at dinner and I---” Anaya shifted towards you and Noa, looking at his friend first who stepped aside slightly. Anaya  offered you the basket that was against his back, half full. He never went back with a full one, often picking some out to eat while plucking subsequent berries from the bush and often indulged on the journey back to the Clan. He gave you a gracious smile, extending his arm out with the basket. “Can… can take Anaya’s.” Swallowing gently, you grabbed his basket delicately and gave him a half-hearted smile as he apologized under his breath again, “Th… Thank you.” Noa watched the encounter and softened his gaze at that. Just one more thing; the Eagle Clan leader stepped forward and lightly brought his thumb along the top of your right cheek to catch a tear from falling. You smiled slightly at him, looking down at Anaya’s basket and finding yourself maniacally entranced in laughter. 

“He ate all the raspberries.” Blue Eyes.

Cornelius was so… Small. You tilted your head at that thought, hands full of fuzzy blackberries. You found it difficult at the moment to find a better description. But, it was beyond true. The berries in your hand found a home in the basket in front of you. Incredibly cute and so very small. Fragile, almost. That was not the case at all; if anyone even looked at the baby Chimp with the wrong indentation, Blue Eyes was prone to attack out of protectiveness. Watching with bated breath, Cornelius brought himself to cling a little further closer to his older brother, splatted along his back as Blue Eyes was crouched next to you, Ash on the other side. They had gotten you to go fishing, it was only fair you got them to go berry picking.

The added bonus? Cornelius was under Blue Eyes’ care today, and the little stow-a-way was eating the berries right out of the basket that his older brother was trying to fill. You chuckled at that, watching the small frame dip himself down Blue Eyes arm, onto the ground and then quite literally, into the basket itself. The quaint hoots and small howl at a blueberry warmed your heart, but the absolute chaos of Blue Eyes' gaze on his baby brother was universally known. Wise older brother, annoying little brother who got in the way. It was not more evident than in the moment as Blue Eyes grasped him softly, placing him outside of the basket before Cornelius jumped right back in. A growl escaped the older of the two before he repeated it and signed at his brother, ‘stay’ with one hand. Smiling at him when he made eye contact with you, you were flushed and eager to turn your face back towards the action of your hands.

Funny how that worked. Sibling annoyance was truly known across all creatures. Smiling at the Ape Prince when he made eye contact with you, you were flushed and eager to turn your face back towards the action of your hands. Pulled into a state of lulling day-dreams, you slid your fingers along the vines that held the berries and found a mild prickle sitting at the base of your spine when Blue Eyes’ fingers brushed against yours when you went for the same bunch. You apologized quietly, letting him have his fill, Cornelius’ small eyes watching the berries fall into the basket with intensity. He raised his hands to grab one but Blue Eyes simply ignored it as if it were second nature to deflect the annoyance that rose when Cornelius ended up in his way. Truly siblings, you thought to yourself with a small chuckle.

You were being nudged--- Humming under your breath, your focus turned to Ash who was peering down at your basket with focused intent. You blinked, swinging yourself back into reality, right out of the nice thoughts of Blue Eyes and his baby brother. Wh--- You blinked again, the munching sounds overtaking all of your senses as Cornelius shoved the freshly picked blackberry into his mouth before looking up at you.When did he get there? How long were you daydreaming? There was a mild stare down between yourself and the younger of the two brothers. It felt like you were enthralled in each other’s presence but it was quickly shot down when Blue Eyes finally took notice and pulled his baby brother out of your basket and placed him back onto his shoulder silently.

‘Sorry.’ Blue Eyes signed at you, digging into his basket and placing a few of his berries into your own as recognition that Cornelius had eaten some of your own. His were okay to eat, but yours? Off limits.

Koba.

“Human,” The gruff nature of Koba’s voice was more than grating enough to take you out of the quiet day-dream you had going in your head as your fingers were quick to push blueberries off their twig home and into a basket laying beside you. Groaning to yourself, you dropped your head before looking up at the Bonobo who had been so graciously blessed by Caesar to take you into the woods to forage for berries. He didn't even bother to dis-mount his stallion and rested on it for the last thirty minutes. “Almost done?”

This was the fifth time he asked you if you were ready to leave in the last ten minutes. Your patience felt like it was teetering between an insane breakdown, which you resisted waging that yelling at Koba was not going to earn you any favors, and quite aggravation. You drove with the second choice and smiled sarcastically at him, “Do you think my answer is any different than it was two minutes ago?” Silently, Koba fell back on his saddle, the action in itself rather reminiscent of a child who wanted to leave the grocery store but was placed in the shopping cart of a prison to ride the remainder of the trip in disappointment. Without a doubt, he was going to have words with Caesar about this later, figuring it to be just a punishment for causing mutiny without a abandonment. You laughed at that to yourself, knowing that Koba’s complaints were going to fall of deaf ears.

Bothersome silence ensued beyond your capacity. It felt bubbling, the way that he looked at you with his one good eye. The sweep against your entire body as you moved to another bush, content with what you had foraged from the previous. The glare against the back of your head as you began diligently working the new bush. You quipped sarcastically at him, looking at the berries in your hand before letting them slide down your palms into the basket, “You know what would make me go faster?”

Koba tilted his head in thought, though you knew what he was thinking with reckless care. He’d surely say something like ‘you… to be dead’ or a rather clever ‘Koba… threatening you’. Smiling at the sudden wash of familiarity at the fact that despite his best efforts, you knew how he could respond, the grin you gave him was more than shit-eating as you grumbled, “If you’d get off your horse and help me. I need to fill the basket.”

The narrowing of his expression was something you could write a book on. The tense nature of his muscles, gleaming it seemed as the sun vibrated off his fur, the permanent scowl of his brow and mouth. Koba had to be the metaphorical poster child for ‘human hater’. Not that it was a problem most days, but right now, you wanted to be left in some semblance of peace to pick your berries without having to hear him complain over and over again about wanting to go back to the Colony. Without his absolutely relentless dry inquiries about whether you were done or not. He hummed - deep in his chest and the sound was brutal to your ears. “Koba does not…”

The grimace on his face tempted you to double over in laughter, but you were positive that would be interpreted as a threat and you’d be pinned to a nearby tree with his teeth in your jugular. Bringing your knees together, you bounced in your squatting position and looked up at him, almost asking with your eyes to finish his statement. “Koba… does not… pick berries.” No shit, you wanted to say but refrained. You filed away the response to be used at a moment when you were around others who would ensure your safety. “Just thought I’d throw the option out there. If two of us were doing it, we could go back in like… Ten minutes.”

There was no processing your words, or at least, there was no clear indication that Koba actually considered them. More often than not, they slid right off him and he just ignored them, preferring to sit in petulant silence which was exactly what he was doing. With one more look at the Ape, you proceeded forward and found pleasure in how your fingers moved around the bush to find what you were seeking, all too aware of the heated scrutiny you were now being surveyed under. Looking right into his eyes, you smiled viciously as you popped a berry into your mouth and chewed painstakingly slow. For sure, you thought to yourself with a chortle, Caesar was going to hear about this from Koba.

Which apes do you think are into tits or ass on their female human mate and why?

{Which apes prefer ass or tits}

Love this question!! I found this so fun to do, thank you for requesting this🙏💗

Notes and warnings: female gendered-terms, apes x human!reader, NSFW, Includes: All apes from my character list.

Ass

Rocket: Loves how he can squeeze them tight and help your rhythm when you bounce on his cock

Ash: Like father like son. He finds them so incredibly interesting compared to Apes. So much more rounded, and hairless.

Koba: Just thinks its an incredibly intimate part of your body, because most apes have their boobs out anyways.He loves being able to grope it during sex, it give him a sense on control.

Lightning: He just gives me ass vibes yk? He likes tits too but ass..👌

Tits

Noa: When you finally go naked in front of him his eyes would be staring at it so much. Its so... different with the apes in his clan. Its so mesmerising to him.

Blue eyes: Same with Noa. Also gives him a calm nurturing vibe which he likes.

Sylva: Loves the way it bounces when you run. Just loves how bouyant it looks.

Anaya: TIDDIES!!!

Both

Caesar: He's not really the type to have favourites when it comes to his mates body.

Luca: Just loves the plush of both. They're both so round and soft, he just wants to squish it at all times.

Soona: All parts of you are beautiful, she dont discriminate🙏

None

Bad ape: Way to shy to even think about it. Thats for him and his mate to know.

Maurice: not really interested, looks doesn't matter to him much.

Proximus Caesar: Very surprising I know. Its a curiosity thing when hes up close touching you but its not something he really does pay mind to.

[gamelpar]

so the apes find a haunted house and then koba burns it down

[teojira]

[I look after you.] [POTA headcanons!]

Summary: Random acts of service I think each ape would do for you!

Characters: Caesar, Noa, Koba, Maurice Rocket, Blue eyes, Lake, Cornelius, and Dar.

Warnings: Caesar and Noa's are meant to be romantic. Dar and Cornelius are platonic as well. The others could be read as platonic or romantic, though!

A/N: These are all just random thoughts I've had today. Some will be shorter than others due to just how many characters I tried to include, so bare with me!

Caesar has a sixth sense as to when you're gonna get hurt, it's uncanny.

Humans are clumsy and more fragile than others, he knows as such because of his grandfather and Will, seeing them trip and fall over nothing, stub their toe and curse, it's almost as if they didn't have spatial awareness at times.

His reflexes are faster than his words.

So he knows when you're about to slam your forehead full force into a wooden beam, immediately throwing a hand up to soften the blow.

You instinctually let out an "Ow!" Before realizing you're okay, your mates warm hand against your skin. The Chimp raises an eye bridge up at you, looking towards you and then his hand.

"Oh."

Koba doesn't do anything nice for you without the expectation that you will do something for him in return.

One thing he will do is protect you against yourself, mainly out of pure pity.

Your center of gravity is different than his, and the woods are not meant for you, so get used to Koba yanking you back from a steep drop.

He isn't gentle about it, fist curled into your jacket and roughly dragging you backward, letting out a shrill against his knowledge.

You knock against his chest, his body immediately giving off its warmth to your own.

You're too scared to look up at Koba, knowing damn well he's gonna be glaring down at you, a comment ready to go.

Unfortunately for you, he does it regardless if you meet his gaze or not.

"Should have. Let you fall." He growls, hoping you can't somehow feet his heartbeat pumping out of his chest.

Noa enjoys caring for you, making your life easier by any means necessary, whether it be by learning how to make you tools that help you fish easier, cooking your meat for you, knowing that your anatomy is different, to teaching you to the best of his ability how to hunt more efficiently.

It's his love language, not that he'd be aware of it. It makes him feel like a good mate, and that boosts his ego.

He gets so mad if you try and wave him off, scoffing at the thought of you not needing him.

What do you mean you're fine on your own? Nuh uh.

Has pouted before and got huffy if you get off of your horse without him helping you down, turning his back to you childishly as he sighs as long as possible.

I hate him.

Maurice lets you cuddle into him for warmth. His fur is longer than the others, and he runs warm. He worries for you when the winters get rough. There's only so much they can do other than set a fire up and wrap you with animal hides.

Sometimes, it's not enough, and shivering yourself to sleep isn't fun.

Maurice considers you family, being the first first ape to truly take you in, he'd never turn you away from when you need him most.

Never needing permission, you quietly make your way to the Orangutan's nest, trying your best not to step on any leaves or branches.

Gingerly taking your time to settle next to Maurice, lowering your body down.

Taking a glance at Nova resting on his other side, you don't catch his eyes peering open, a hand coming up to sign slowly.

'Come.'

Lifting a long arm, he allows you to curl into his side, finally granting you a good night's rest.

Blue eyes always makes sure you're apart of the conversation, if he and Ash are goofing around, and you're standing off to the side, he's gonna immediately poke small fun at you to get your attention.

The second he has it, he's gesturing you over to their little circle at the camp fire, asking you what humans think of whatever subject they're talking about.

Baby Blue will shove his shoulder into Ash if he tries to make fun of you, knowing well that you may not take it as friendly banter just yet.

If you're gonna be with the colony, you'll need a protector, and who else is a better, more loyal one than Rocket.

No ape is being disrespectful towards you on his watch, you're important to Caesar and while that was in fact originally the reason he made it a point to keep an eye on you, he's come to love you himself.

An Ape comes up to you, asking something wildly inappropriate?

Rocket gets up in their face, making direct eye contact and puffing out his chest for them to back the fuck off, daring them to make a move, all while making sure you're well hidden behind himself.

Lake enjoys braiding your hair for you, the different texture offering a welcome challenge compared to her own.

She's so gentle and light handed, her fingers weaving the strands to the best of her ability, fingers much too large.

It's a bonding experience between the two of you, her downtime, after working with the little ones for hours previously.

The littlest ape prince is no stranger to clinging on to you at any point in time. Even as he grows older and gets to be too heavy to sit on your lap or climb up your back, he does it anyway. Wrapping his arms around your neck and hiding his face against your skin.

He does it when looking for comfort, but also for when he's being a little shit and his dad is searching for him to chastise.

Cornelius knows that when you're near, you're gonna spoil and baby him, and that's exactly what he wants, hiding behind you.

He is observant like his father, always in tune with your emotions and knows when you need to have company so you don't stew in your own head.

Drags you off to play with the other apes, not taking no for an answer even if you try to. He pulls those puppy dog eyes and it's damn near impossible to deny him.

Taking on a motherly role for you comes with ease, Dar slipping into it once Noa vouches for you.

She makes sure to take you under her wing, teaching you their ways of life in the a view point of an elder, not just Noas.

Please don't imagine that she'd make you your own shawl, matching her own, literally don't bc I teared up.

She'd be ecstatic to see you wear it around the colony, staring at you. She's so proud of you from how far you've come.

Dar will blatantly introduce you to others as her child, no matter what another ape says. Which wouldn't be much to begin with, became who is gonna argue with her? She won't hear a word of it, waving them off.

[ranminfan]

Because I have nothing to post 'cause I'm so busy, and Kingdom just came out, I am giving this fanbase this edit that's been in my drafts for three years.

Blue eyes, I love you, but Caesar though...

Sleeping Positions Headcanons. (Caesar, Noa, Blue Eyes, Anaya, Koba.)

Caesar

You sleep coiled into his side, his arm a cushion for your head. He likes to study your softened features as you sleep, the way your mouth is slightly agape, and the twitch of your brows as you dream. You take comfort in his warmth, the harsh winter months to come blowing full steam ahead and taking hold of your bones and choking out the heat from your blood. Caesar's warmth and the safety of the nest your safety net from the harshness of the climate, he enjoys your dependence on him in your sleep, your vulnerability and softness only encourages his innate need to pull your closer into his side.

Noa

Noa pulls you halfway on top of him, your leg straddling his taut waist and your chest pressed against his pec. He listens to your sleep induced breathing, allowing it to subdue him from the stresses of his long day. His hand will be absent-mindedly soothe your soft skin, and he'll always be on the lookout for the soft contented sigh that escapes you at his touch, your body instinctively reacting to the touch of your mate. He lay with you until finally his mind finally eases enough that it'll let sleep completely enrapture his senses, snuggling his face into your hair.

Blue Eyes

Blue Eyes prefers to be the bigger spoon, completely encasing your frame with his body. His head resting on top of yours, the feeling of his warmth and the safety of his arms causing a love smitten smile to slip onto your lips. His calloused hand grabs on to yours, and he emphasizes that sleep finds him easier when he's cuddled on to you. It's become routine for him and sleep will utterly evade him if your not there with him so when a hunt is longer than expected and he'll have to spend the night away from you, it's absolute hell and he wants nothing more than to have you in his arms and the comfort of the nest surrounding him.

Anaya

Anaya basically sleeps on to of you, his limbs wildly spread out, and his dead weight now the norm for you. He's an abnormal sleeper and he often moves throughout the night but you can guarantee that some part of his body is on you at all times, you'll often lay on your back awaiting sleep to finally take hold of you as you listen to the sleepy mumbles that escape him, it makes you smile but you envy how easy sleep comes to him. You'll sometimes soothe the fur on top of his head, a soft giggle emitting from you as you watch the twitch of his nose and the wiggle of his limbs at your touch.

Koba

You often find yourself falling asleep side by side, close in proximity but not exactly cuddling. It's only when you have fallen asleep that he makes a move. When he's in need of comfort, he'll hug onto your waist, his head resting on the softness of your tummy. Sleep evades him frequently, and he's not exactly keen on asking for consolation, but the openness that you emit whilst in sleep eases him enough to pull himself closer to you. You don't mind it, and you would rather not say anything about it when you wake with him huddled into your tummy. You wouldn't want to chase him back into self isolation. This was something that didn't need to be spoken on.

[samuraia99le]

I miss him 🩵😞

A/N: I must admit I got carried away on that one! I may have stepped away a little bit, but I hope you will still like it! Enjoy your reading 😁

Masterlist.

It was a day almost like any other. You'd made your way into the woods, following the path that would lead you to the undergrowth you were looking for, to pick some wild berries. You never strayed far from the trail. The area was notorious for traps to catch game, and finding yourself upside down, ankle sheared by a rope hanging from a high tree branch, was not in your top 10 favorite activities.

You weaved in and out of branches and bushes, eyes glued to the ground so as not to lose sight of the trail and risk stepping into a trap. Focusing on your steps, you didn't notice that someone was silently following you.

Soon you reached the part of the forest where several fruit bushes were waiting for you. Blueberries, blackberries and raspberries colored the landscape and were already making your mouth water.

Without wasting any time, you set up your bag at the root of the first bush that seemed to contain enough blueberries and began carefully picking the black berries to slip into your bag.

The blue eyes watching you from the high branches of the tree beside you had gone completely unnoticed, and Blue Eyes, who had followed you throughout your journey, wondered how you managed to survive in an unpredictable world like the one Earth had become.

Unnoticed… At least that's what he thought until you held out your hand to him, palm full of blueberries, as an invitation to share your booty. You still had your eyes glued to the brambles, watching the thorns that were just waiting to scratch your skin and defend themselves against your aggression to reclaim their fruit. Blue Eyes hesitated for a moment, and watched as your second hand slipped a blueberry into your mouth, bringing a slight smile to your lips.

"They're delicious, you should try them." you said casually.

It was only after saying these words that your eyes found his, perched high above your head. Your kind smile encouraged him to move and get down low enough to grab the berries you were offering him. His calloused skin was a striking contrast to yours, softer and more delicate, and your smile widened even more when he agreed to eat a few blueberries.

"Have you been here for a long time?" you asked.

You took your time analyzing the signs that Blue Eyes took care to detail slowly to make it easier for you to understand. Sign language wasn't your forte, but with time, you were getting better and better at deciphering the meaning of each sign.

"'Since the trail." And before you could reply, he continued. "Not careful."

These last words sounded strangely like a scold, which drew a teasing chuckle from you.

" Yet I finally noticed you." You tried to tease him, but the speed with which he signed his reply, looking serious, made you feel as if you were being lectured like a child.

"Anyone else and you'd have been attacked before you knew it."

Somehow, you knew he was right. But it wasn't as if you let your guard down in any part of the forest. You knew exactly what territory you were in, and had for a long time been allowed to venture in when you needed to. An advantage you'd gained when you'd been shot in the shoulder instead of the owner of that part of the forest.

At this memory, your hand wandered mindlessly to your shoulder where a scar had found its place. At times, you still had a vague sensation of the pain that had pierced you when the bullet hit.

Back then, the idea of taking a bullet for an ape would have seemed completely mind-boggling, but you couldn't forget the day Caesar stood between you and a bear.

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

Spring had only just brought the first flowers into bloom when you ventured down to the river to catch a few fish for your group. The sun had graciously licked your skin and its warmth spread like a wave through your body, while the river, into which you had sunk your ankles in motionless anticipation of a fish, sent the chill of the winter that had just died away down your legs. The battle of the sun against the river made you shiver from head to toe, but you couldn't move a muscle, your eyes locked on the water, on the alert, ready to bring down your spear at the first movement of a fish that came a little too close.

You'd already caught five. You were particularly known in your group for your patience, which made your task much easier when it came to fishing or tracking an animal. You knew how to wait, and that's why fishing had become your specialty.

Eight fish.

Eight fish was the ideal amount to get back to camp. With eight fish, everyone could eat their fill, so you wouldn't budge from that river until your bag had eight fish in it.

But then, because you were so focused on one task, you didn't hear it coming. The branch snapped. The muffled growl. The guttural breath hitting the air. Your body was so focused on not moving, on almost holding your breath so as not to create any water movement that would scare the fish, that you hadn't even noticed the brown bear that had just appeared on the other bank.

The bear, on the other hand, had seen you. It had smelled the fish and seen an enemy in its river.

You hadn't reacted until it was too late, even with the heavy, lively splash of the water under the bear's huge paws as it crossed the river, and you'd barely had time to look up at the animal before it sent you waltzing through the air with a swipe of its paw.

You landed heavily on the pebbles lining the river and a sharp pain slammed into your back and you gritted your teeth, holding back a groan. You pulled on your arms to get up, but you lost your balance and the bear was already standing on its hind legs, towering over you like a giant. You could already see your life ending between his fangs, which it blithely showed you.

The incessant growls of anger were terrifying you, and even though you wished with all your being to flee, your muscles seemed to freeze, paralyzed by the fear gnawing at your stomach. It was the end, you were sure of it, and just as the bear was about to bring its heavy paw down on you, you saw only a massive shadow being struck and thrown further away from you.

It took you a few seconds to see clearly what it was.

An ape. A chimpanzee, if you wanted to be exact.

Your blood ran cold. You were definitely going to die if you didn't get out of here.

The second you forced yourself to your feet, your spine screamed in pain, sending an electric wave through every one of your limbs, and you could only end up on your knees.

In front of you, the chimp stood upright - his torso puffed out, making him look even more massive than he already was. His hoarse snarl challenged the bear, and the ape's fangs appeared to be deadly with the power with which he held on. His green eyes glared at the animal in front of him, silently beckoning it to approach.

The bear turned away from you bluntly at the chimpanzee's threatening challenge, and you seized the opportunity before it was too late. You swallowed the pain and ran.

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

If he hadn't stepped in, you wouldn't have been standing there being lectured by his son while you picked berries. Taking a bullet was only fair compensation.

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

It all happened in a fraction of a second. Screams, gunfire, screams and bodies, apes and humans alike, running from all sides to catch, flee or fight. It was impossible to say exactly how it had started, or who had started it. All you could see in front of your eyes was chaos. Buildings ablaze, smoke filling your lungs and the barely-there shadows of night making it hard to navigate the besieged city.

The apes were pushing humans into cages, and somewhere, deep down inside, you found a form of ironic poetry in this: maybe humans really only deserved to live in cages. But hidden behind a car, you didn't have time to think more deeply about this question. You had to get to safety.

And safety you found in part, sneaking into the city's underground. There you found Dreyfus and two other men whose names escaped you. They had a plan. A plan to blow up the city tower and kill as many of the apes inside as possible. You didn't know if it was a good plan or a bad one, but at least it was a plan to stop the chaos.

But maybe there was another way.

You lost your security again within moments. A group of apes had just entered the underground, and the guns were already pointed at them.

It took you only a second, a tiny second, to recognize the green eyes that had saved your life a few weeks ago. A gaze so powerful it could pierce your soul effortlessly.

You'd been thinking about that moment for a long time. How this ape had thrown himself in front of you to take that paw for you. And if you hadn't stayed to see the outcome of the confrontation that day, far too frightened of the inevitable fate hovering over your head, you had quickly concluded that without his help, intended or not, the bear would have killed you.

His gaze fell on you, and the step he took towards you gave you the feeling that he, too, had recognized you.

Unfortunately, it was a step too far. For him, and possibly even more so for you.

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

Sometimes you thought the universe had a certain sense of humor. An ape saving a human's life, a human saving an ape's life, while the two species were engaged in a bloody war that never seemed to end. It could have ended there. But it didn't. For some reason that still baffles you today, your path always seems to cross the one of Caesar and his sons.

You remembered the time when his youngest son almost got trampled by a horse because the young one thought it was more fun to climb on his back using the horse's tail. Of course, the horse didn't appreciate it, and the stampede began before you could catch Cornelius, who had fallen between the horse's four legs. You had inherited a hoof kick in the knee, but had managed to pull Cornelius out of the unintentional chaos.

From then on, whenever Caesar or Blue Eyes carried Cornelius with them, he always ended up climbing to the top of your head, tangling his little hands and feet in your hair to make sure no one came to take him away from you.

You'd also noticed that Blue Eyes was crossing your path more often since you'd protected his little brother.

You picked a new blueberry and handed it to Blue Eyes, who still looked angry, a silent apology for your lack of cautiousness.

"I promise, next time I'll be more careful."

Blue Eyes seemed to consider the issue for a moment, then accepted your berry, the features of his face softening.

"Will you help me?" you offered, and without a word, he found himself crouching beside you, digging his hands into the brambles.

You didn't leave until the end of the day. After filling your bag with berries, Blue Eyes suggested you join him to check out the various traps in the area, in the hope of finding a rabbit or a pheasant. With him by your side to show you the secure paths, you weren't risking much.

When you parted, he even made sure to take you back to the trail you were familiar with, to make sure nothing happened to you.

"Say hi to your father." you signed clumsily. "He is already aware." Blue Eyes had answered, oblivious to the fact it was a simple, very human politeness. "It's why I came."

Of course he was aware you were here. Traps weren't just for game. They also served as defensive barriers against humans who were a little too reckless, leaving only a few secure paths like the one you used every day. It was simpler to keep a constant watch on targeted paths than to wander over several hectares. An ape must have seen you coming.

"Be careful. Stay on the track." Blue Eyes put his words into motion before disappearing between the high branches of the trees.

-------------

You went on your way as the sun followed its descending line towards the horizon. Somewhere in the back of your mind, you cursed yourself for having accepted Blue Eyes' offer to accompany him: you might end up having to walk the rest of the way in semi-darkness, if not complete darkness, if you didn't hurry.

A lump of anxiety crept into the pit of your stomach at the thought of finding yourself in complete darkness in the middle of the forest. You considered trotting to the edge of the woods, but the path you were taking was nothing more than an old doe and deer trail, offering only a narrow space between the vegetation. You could easily get your feet caught in a root or trip over one of the stones littering the ground. Even so, you quickened your pace to avoid being caught in the dark when you came face to face with a boar digging in the earth to feed on the insects and mushrooms hidden beneath.

You blinked several times, stunned to come across this naturally large animal. It didn't seem to have noticed you yet.

A good news.

Boars were notoriously unstable and territorial, and despite their size, the short tusks around their snouts were sharp enough to do some serious damage.

You took a few steps back, trying as best you could not to snap a branch or roll a stone that would draw its attention to you.

How were you going to avoid it?

Bypassing it was still a possibility, but that would mean venturing into the undergrowth with a heightened risk of walking into a trap.

You observed the boar. If it had made it this far, then the path it had taken was secure enough, and being, on principle, no dumber than a boar, if you watched carefully where you were stepping, you'd certainly be able to get around it without it seeing you, and then calmly get back on the trail.

You tried to convince yourself of this, but what really pushed you off the path was when the boar raised its head towards you, letting out a muffled groan as if you'd just bothered it.

You automatically raised your hands in front of it, took another step backwards and took a second step to your right.

"Okay, okay. Easy, buddy." You said rather to comfort yourself than to calm the animal in front of you, who had just huffed in annoyance.

The leaves crunched beneath your feet as you slowly sank into the vegetation. The boar followed your movements, always making sure he was facing you. It jerked its head forward, a warning signal that it was not playing around. You didn't let it out of your sight and started to move back again, a few more steps to add even more distance, but you had suddenly come to a halt.

You didn't dare look back, lest the animal in front of you decide to charge you, but the intense hovering presence you felt running up and down your spine wasn't making it easy. Your breath remained stuck in the back of your throat, and you knew that one more step and your back would come into contact with the creature, which clearly had no notion of personal space.

"Stop moving."

The gruff in the voice behind you allowed you to breathe again. His voice was a melody you now knew by heart, and a sense of deep relief swept away the anguish that had seeped viciously into your every pore. At least, until with a simple pressure of the back of his hand against the small of your back, he forced you to take a step forward, following in your footsteps.

"Stepping back only show weakness." His voice sounded as a command.

The boar slammed his paw into the ground, letting out a menacing growl that was just as soon greeted by a deep rumble that you could feel echoing through Caesar's proudly puffed chest.

You knew Caesar wasn't the type to act without thinking, and you'd surely have been frightened if you weren't confident that whatever this boar decided to do, he'd be there to fend it off.

When the animal showed a slight hesitation, Caesar once again urged you forward, and although you wanted to dig your heels into the ground to prevent yourself from moving, your blind trust in Caesar drove you to respond to his request. As you took each step forward, you heard Caesar curl his lips and bravely display his canines in a muffled growl.

You breathed a sigh of relief as the wild boar sped away, having lost the territorial game that Caesar had almost certainly won the second he stepped out from behind you.

Caesar found himself on all fours, a little entertained to see you suddenly crouch down, letting the stress you'd accumulated escape through a deep sigh that you held in spite of everything in your hands against your mouth.

Although he always kept that serious, almost grumpy look on his face, at this precise moment, you could see in the depths of his green irises that he had been having fun during this short encounter.

"I was right."

You looked at his hands signing with pride. Of course he was right, but sometimes you wondered if he wasn't forgetting that, as a human, you didn't have all the intimidating attributes of an ape. You gave him a slanted glance before laughing as your nerves released the pressure.

"Why is it always you when something like this happens?" You joked, catching the breath you'd been missing during this whole little game. "Trouble always gets in your way." Caesar replied bluntly in a couple of signs.

You scoffed at that. 

Caesar stood bi-pedal again, and you accepted without a second thought the hand he held out to you to help you up. Caesar admired the fragility of your skin as he felt your fingers slide into the palm of his hand. Come to think of it, it wasn't all that surprising to see you constantly taking the utmost care with everything around you, wary of the slightest thorn that might come along and scratch your skin. He knew that if he squeezed your hand even a little too hard, he could leave bluish marks.

Leave marks. His marks. On your body.

The idea suddenly didn't seem so bad to him, his tongue rasping the tips of his canines, imagining for a brief moment them coming to grip your skin to remind everyone that he'd be there no matter what, like a protective shadow.

But he buried the thought deep inside when you got back to the safety of the path you walked almost every day. So often, in fact, that sometimes Caesar could still smell you where your body had brushed against the vegetation.

With this unforeseen event, the sun had almost completed its course across the sky, leaving only a faint glow to allow you to navigate between the trees and bushes. You were somewhat comforted to hear Caesar following in your footsteps. He had a much better nightsight and you regained some confidence in directing your steps along the trail, knowing that he was there to put you back on the right path if needed.

"Thanks."

It was the only thing you felt appropriate to say in the comfortable silence that had settled between you.

One more thing you enjoyed with Caesar. Silences. You didn't need to talk for the sake of talking in order to fill the silences that humans hated so much. And that's what made Caesar's words all the more important. When he spoke, you knew he was speaking to be heard.

As you both neared the end of the trail, his hoarse voice broke the silence once again.

"Until next time."

Caesar could see a smile stretch across your lips.

"If I keep track, it'll be my turn to get you out of trouble." You laughed and he huffed derisively. "Never in trouble." He stated in his usual serious tone.

He pointed to himself with his hand, again puffing out his chest as if he were trying to brag, and his green eyes admired the way you laughed, almost gently teasing him.

"My shoulder doesn't agree with you on this one." You joked, graciously earning an amused pout from him.

You glanced out of the forest where you could see the warm orange colors of the sunset that had just begun. Your camp wasn't far away and Caesar didn't immediately understand why your behaviour had suddenly changed from cheerful to a more introverted one.

You gave him a shy but caring smile, along with a hand wave - typically human, he thought.

"Until next time." You echoed his words softly.

He let you go on the remaining part of the trail, knowing full well that it was safe for you to return to your camp.

Yes, until next time. Some other time when he wished, if you were willing to, to share a moment with you in a way that didn't threaten the life of either of you.

[death---dealer]

*sobbing softly* imagine the ape men’s reaction to finding you sleeping somewhere you’re not supposed to be brb adding this to my list of things to write but have some blurbs

Caesar is genuinely unsure of what to do with you when he sees you fallen asleep by the communal bonfire against the slick rocks and he contemplates it before taking you back to your hut by sweeping you into his arms and you feel like it’s all a dream.

Noa watches you for a while when he’s working on something before he finally sets it down and urges you into his arms to take you back tot he shared nest. You don’t want to let him go and he ends up in the nest with you for an afternoon nap.

It’s the first time blue eyes touches you. First time touching your arm to see if you’d actually fallen asleep or not. Your eyes are shut and you’re breathing slowed… and he’s so remarkable hesitant and unsure as he picks you up and carries you to the colony after a fishing trip.

Anaya doesn’t help you back and instead he falls asleep beside you, curled up underneath a mango tree after devouring like 10 of them. True food coma, you nuzzle into him for the warm he provides and you can feel his sticky beard against your skin as he returns the affection.

Koba doesn’t help but he lowkey stays in the area because reckless human fell asleep defenseless AGAIN! Out in the open. You need to be protected and watched mostly because someone else could come attack you when that right was only Koba’s. Only his and you needed to know that.

[uuuhhhmmmmmmmmidk]
