Ryan had no fear of the dangers that lurked in the jungles of Álah’kū. Having been raised by wolves and passed the tribal trials at the village, he had matured from a hopeful boy into a confident, fearless, brave, and charming pinnacle of masculinity. A new development that saw him humiliate Shere Khan the tiger, routinely avoid being made dinner by carnivorous plants and tentacled octopi, become almost a coveted prize amongst the female hypno snake population, and channel his primal and savage nature into a new way of life for him. Every lagoon, waterfall, abandoned temple, cave, and clearing was laced with danger, so Ryan knew the correct areas to avoid. And the right ones to explore.
"Won’t she be surprised when I get back." He mused, referring to Kali’s offer of a sensual massage at the village. Above him, an overly friendly stalker, one he took great pleasure in avoiding, followed him through the canopy, camouflaged amidst the thick vegetation. Ryan was making his way to a location that had long been abandoned on Álah’kū, an area where he could feel at peace. And an area his unseen stalker was tracking him to.

Ah yes, the pinnacle of masculinity. Such thoughts were running through Rocco’s head as he stalked and followed Ryan to a hidden, secret clearing that would become not so hidden and secret soon. The jungle man had plans to return to the village in a while but the jungle was full of unpredictability. And Ryan’s day was about to go off the rails!
The creepy boa found the British stud in wandering to an abandoned clearing surrounded by high trees and large boulders, a perfect the stay away from those prying. Unfortunately a pair of those prying eyes had followed Ryan to his hideout, the same eyes that ogled at his thick chest, defined muscular limbs, and cut abs and waist.
“Ryan always loves my games! Let’s start things off slow” Rocco hissed. Picking up a nearby coconut with his tail, he gently dropped it with perfect timing so it would land on the jungle dudes head.

The clearing that Ryan had arrived to was surrounded by high trees and boulders, which shrouded an abandoned temple. One of several dotted around Álah’kū, this was a testament to the island’s mysterious past. Vines and moss covered fallen stone idols, walls were cracked with neglect and decay, and a series of steps led up into it’s inner sanctum. Where hidden treasure was alleged to have been buried in the hallowed halls and unexplored chambers.
"Guess I’ll explore for a little....." Ryan mused, his day interrupted by a coconut landing on his head. ".....Ow!"
The jungle man reacted to the impact of the fruit toppling on his head, reaching up to rub the top of his scalp with his left hand. His eyes glanced up into the canopy, wondering if a pesky monkey had decided, or chosen, the inappropriate time to annoy him.
"Whoever decided to drop a coconut on my head better have a death wish!" He called out, his unseen stalker chuckling silently.

“Ohhh this is too good” Rocco giggling quietly, still succeeding in making his presence unknown to the pissed off man cub. Rocco loved playing games especially when they annoyed others! And the British hunk was his favorite target. Seeing Ryan’s handsome face twist to rage simply made the pesky boas day.
The temple Ryan had been about to explore was one of many that resided deep within Álah’kū. Even the village elders and those that had been born in the jungle knew not what the moss covered idols and ancient, rumbled stones meant. Some say the hypno snake population knew…but those were just myths and no doubt those tricksters would never tell.
Rocco watched the loincloth clad stud take a few bare steps closer to the temple, seemingly already forgetting his threat and the nuisance that lay in the canopy. “Can’t have him entering the temple! Doesn’t that hunk of muscle know he’s got a whole day of fun planned with me?” Rocco mused. Picking up a mango this time, the serpent chucked it at Ryan’s shoulders, waiting for that glorious sound of impact.
*SMASH*

That was all the motivation Ryan needed. As a mango slammed into his shoulders and disintegrated into chunks of fruit on the floor, his temper was pushed over the line. "Alright, that’s it! Whoever is deciding to play tag, you’re dead!" He called out, looking up into the trees for the assailant. A large tree that towered up into the sky caught his attention, and he strode forward.
By now, he had decided not to explore the temple and risk his life with booby traps or tentacled octopi lurking in the abandoned pools of the building. He was more interested in finding the jokester who had decided to piss him off.

Success! Rocco had diverted Ryan's attention from adventures in the temple to an adventure in the trees. The jungle man's bare feet stomped with rage as Ryan's temper was pushed passed his limits, the British man-cub already wound up from his previous encounter with Jake Daniels.
The large tree that towered over the temple and a climbable boulder that caught Ryan's eye, indeed housed Rocco. The pesky boa couldn't help but holler with laughter at the pissed-off jungle hunk! This proved Ryan's suspicions to be correct from the sound of muffled laughter and leaves shaking. Maybe if he got on top of that boulder he could be close enough to the canopy to see his mystery assailant...

A familiar muffled laugh, coupled with leaves shaking in the canopy, made Ryan’s angry expression change. A smirk crossed his face as he climbed on top of the boulder, his strong legs and arms effortlessly allowing him a seamless climb. It was time to call out a snake he was very familiar with. One he had recognised from several unwanted, and at times, amicable encounters in the past.
"I know you’re up there, Rocco! Don’t make out like I’m stupid!" He called out, not threateningly, but jovially.

The playful snake froze in his tracts. Did Ryan know it was really him? Fooey! Still, Rocco wouldn't be himself if he didn't end his plan with a bang!
As the bubbly boa watched Ryan effortlessly climb the tall boulder (particularly eyeing the man cub's strong arm and legs muscles that flexed with every swing) Rocco realized he still had the upper hand. The jungle hunk was trying to locate the snake in the canopy, searching with a determined and stern expression. So, with one final blow, Rocco threw a mushy banana he had found and aimed it....right for the British stud's face!

As the banana flew out of the canopy, Ryan’s reflexes snapped into action. Sadly, his left hand shot out at the wrong moment, the tasty fruit impacting with his face. The jungle man’s smirk dissipated as he wiped away mushed banana from his handsome and chiseled face. He knew that it was Rocco who had been pelting him with fruit to try and either get his attention, or increase his already temperamental attitude regarding his earlier confrontation with Jake.
"Nice try, Rocco. You can stop chucking fruit at me!" He called out, wiping away chunks of banana from his eyes....

Rocco now knew it was time to give up his childish games. Ryan had clearly scouted out his presence, and despite the banana making impact, the jungle man's senses and reflexes were on high alert, meaning another attempt would be foolish and pointless.
But, as the British stud wiped away the fruit from his eyes and continued to yell at the canopy, the playful serpent had slithered his head and upper body down behind Ryan, about to greet the jungle man his favorite way ever.
"Hiya Ryan!" Rocco cheered directly into the man cub's ear for a delightful jump scare!

Ryan briefly jumped out of his skin as Rocco greeted him with a loud and bubbly announcement, hissing it into his ear. He whirled around, greeted by the playful boa and his genuinely interested expression in the jungle man. Not that Ryan minded the attention, but it was a start. He stood on the boulder, regaining his composure as he addressed this well-known pest.
"Do you ever greet me face to face?!" The jungle hunk asked incredulously, small rays of sunlight filtering down through the tall trees.

"Why waste time on boring hellos when you can make a grand entrance!" The bubble boa giggle as he flashed the handsome Ryan with his biggest grin. Rocco always beamed with glee when encountering his favorite jungle man, which Ryan took as flattering...and as a minor red flag that the serpent was obsessed with him.
"Don't you agree?" Rocco giggled as his cartoony shaped head slithered closer to give the jungle man's cheek a nuzzle. That was Rocco for ya, so very forward!

Normally, Ryan would have flinched the moment Rocco nuzzled his snout into his cheek. But something about Ryan accepted it. Like he was in no mood to get angry at the boa. He wasn’t the problem. At least not now, and especially after announcing his arrival by unconventional methods that the hypno snake population were renowned for.
"By hissing in my ear?" Ryan asked, letting the boa finish this display of affection.

Rocco felt Ryan stiffen slightly and take a step back, but he didn't push the overly affectionate snake away. A big step in their relationship! In the past, and especially the first time the pair met, the jungle Brit had labeled the boa a nuisance and pest with whom he wanted nothing to do with. Which was still true to this day, but after many encounters Ryan seemed to tolerate Rocco's touchy behavior and playfully annoying antics. Could the jungle man really be growing fond of the serpent?
"Well, there's no other way to get your attention" Rocco sighed as his tail brushed some banana and mango off Ryan's broad shoulder. The serpent took this as a chance to slide his tail across the jungle man's defined frame and give those shoulder blades a squeeze! "Speaking of which why don't you visit me more often" Rocco whined and pouted. With his tail on Ryan's shoulders, the British stud was pulled rather closer to the serpent's face, though he didn't seem to mind.

Ryan saw Rocco as a pest, a nuisance who couldn’t keep his coils to himself and routinely grabbed him off the jungle floor and into the trees for some unwanted activities that the bubbly boa was renowned for. Usually, Ryan was always let go and developed an intense loathing of this annoying reptile, usually keeping his distance and keeping his guard up whenever he was alone. In order to prevent Rocco from snatching him away into the canopy.
To Rocco’s further amazement, he saw how Ryan looked down at the boa’s tail sliding across his shoulders and squeezing their broad frame. As the jungle hunk was pulled close to the serpent’s face, he didn’t seem to mind.
"You never asked. And I prefer my own company." Ryan admitted, getting this conversation off to a amicable start.
