What if Y/N gets jealous of a girl who around Monkey King Or calls him a cutesy Nickname in public.

(Lmk Wukong) He was hanging with Mk and the gang again at Pigsy Noodle shop until he heard your voice from outside.

Monkey Queen (Y/N): Sunflower!!! 🌻

He froze no no you did not just call him that. He turned his head towards MK and the rest who were trying to hide their giggles even Pigsy was fighting off a smile.

Monkey Queen (Y/N): I know you're busy but I want to let you know. I brought more peach chips from the store. I'm gonna put him in a cabinet at home So if you want some stop by my mountain. I still have some errands to run I'll see you later love you sunflower 🌻.

And with that you ran off to the market down the street. As soon as you left, everybody burst out. Laughing hysterically to the point where some of them could even breathe. Wukong's face was so red you would think he was on fire.

Macaque: Sunflower 🌻 huh???😏😏

Sun Wukong: Ok number one shut up an number two when did you even get here?!?!?😡😡😡😡

(Nezha Reborn Wukong) He was at the workshop with Li Yunxiang help with his motorcycle. Until he heard you come in

Monkey Queen (Y/N): Fluffy you Left you toolbox at my house again!

This made him spit out the water He was drinking just now as Li awkwardly stood next to him.

Monkey Queen (Y/N): I'm gonna leave it by the door I have to go to work so I'll see you later.

You then ran off as your running late and need to catch the bus.

Li:.......um😥

(NR Wukong) Breathe a word of this to anyone and I'll kill you myself👿☠️

Monkey Queen (Y/N): Sourpatch!!! stop fighting those two little girls right now Your trashing the place!!!!!😡😡😡

Everybody in the area froze at the sound of your voice. As a female monkey with snow white Fur and Piercing navy blue Eyes glared into her husband from down below. You then stomped pass Master Tang and down the hall to calm down. Wukong was Not only disrespected but also embarrassed by you once again. That's what he gets for getting worked up over nothing.

Guards: Did she just call us little girls😟😟😟

(HIB Wukong) Since his release from the mountain prison Buddha put him in he had went to try and find you, but the children were asking a billion and one question. As he was getting more and more Irritated a soft voice called out to him

Monkey Queen (Y/N): Ah, grouchy Bun, I thought you were dead. But we both know that's impossible now isn't it😉😉😉

He froze seeing his Wife from across the Field beautiful As the day he left her, but he wasn't fooled by her gentle tone she is Furious with him and he has a lot of making it up to her to Too bad that didn't distract him from the giggling children behind him Something else he was going to have to explain😥😥😥

(Netflix Wukong) He was spending time with Lin bragging about How he recently saved the village from another demon when,

Monkey Queen (Y/N): Ok chestnut that's enough Bragging for today now come home and have dinner with me

Wukong's face lit up a bit before Muttering a yes dear and said bye to Lin trying to block out the Her giggles.

Feel Free to Reblog😇👍

Anything hmm... how about this? Headcanons about Wukong and Macaque with a fem!S/O that got isekai'd from the Pokémon world! How would they react to a regular human mortal commanding powerful beasts who treats them like they were her family.

As for what Pokémon she has, I'll leave that up to you. Whatever sparks your imagination!

Bonus points if she acts like a mother-figure to MK while also making him picnic lunches for when he goes training.

Hope this will be fun for you to write! Thank you! 😊

Yup. This one's long so bear with me lol. I hope I did it right like you wanted

Wukong;

- Where. Were. You?

- All you remember was falling asleep with your Eevee next to you and then you're... Here?

- Luckily, your Eevee was still with you so you were not all that lonely.

- You wandered around this strange mountain, trying to figure out where you are and why your arms looked like a block and why THERE WERE NO WILD POKEMONS???

- And you ended up panicking when you realized you were trapped. How great.

- Luckily, you end up being found by Wukong who just happened to run into you

- He immediately got on defense mode because why would there be a stranger in his mountain unless they were looking for a fight?

- It did take a bit but he realized that you weren't a threat

- You explained your situation to him and the Monkey King listened closely, despite the far fetched story he seemed to believe your words.

- After the explanation he agreed to help you out and try to find your way back home

- He was honestly completely clueless as to what to do, so he just brought you somewhere else to chill and talk while you two think of a plan.

- When he first met you, he just wanted you off his mountain. But when talking with you and learning more about your world and you, he seemed to take a great appeal on you.

- Especially when you'd crack a joke, it made him laugh so hard

- You were also fascinated by how this world worked and that there are no Pokemons but instead demons.

- Talking with you never made Wukong this happy and it never made him laugh so hard, last time he laughed this good was when he was friends with Macaque and well... That was a long time ago.

- Before you knew it, it was already late and you two just wasted your time talking instead of figuring out a plan.

- Your Eevee was already asleep beside Wukong on his cloud and snuggled close to him, Wukong didn't seem to mind at all.

- Well, since you had nowhere to go now Wukong allowed you to stay at his place until you figured something out.

- Days and days passed, tho you enjoyed Wukong's company you eventually got bored sitting around and doing nothing, Wukong could tell by the way you seemed less and less cheerful each day

- You two still haven't figured out anything, because you didn't know how you got here in the first place. The best you could hope for was to go to sleep and wake up back in your realm.

- Wukong was a bit saddened that you were still worried about going home, he thought you liked it here and maybe would even consider staying with him ... But he should've guessed you probably have your own family and friends back home, you don't need him...

- To make it up to you, Wukong took you away to show you some places he knew of, he'd show you the Megapolis city too but you two never really went there because someone could recognize Wukong.

- Where you did stop though, was at a beautiful forest full of sunflowers.

- Seeing you so amazed by everything made Wukong happy, you looked so excited he couldn't help but be amused and tease you about it.

- Then, you don't know what happened, but as you two were talking you accidentally tripped and Wukong caught you

- Instead of letting you go and back away, he kept you in his arms

- The next thing you know, you two were reaching closer and closer to each other's face, looking at each other's eyes, then lips and eyes again...

- Just inches away from kissing, something made a crashing sound causing you two to get startled and snap out of the situation you were in

- You realized your Eevee was caught up in vines, and stuck, so you went to help him immediately, but also you were completely red by the whole situation.

- Wukong was red as well, he can't believe what he almost did. He just met you a few days ago, for god's sake!

- But his tail wagged happily when he looked back at that moment you two had just a second ago.

- Well, after that, as usual you hang out quite often.

- Wukong always cuddled you whenever he could, even if you met a few days ago he was quick to get affectionate with you and you didn't mind.

- But your Eevee was a bit jealous when Wukong wanted to cuddle with you instead of him.

- Your Eevee LOVED and adored Wukong, it's almost like Eevee loved him more than you 😭

- Then you met Mk.

- You two immediately bonded very well and Mk invited you to visit Megapolis with him so you don't get lost.

- Wukong allowed you to go but you could see he was a bit sad by it, so to make him feel better you kissed him on the cheek which did in fact, make him instantly happy, his tail wagging rapidly with a huge grin on his face.

- Going to the city with Mk was pretty nice, and you were very grateful for him for showing you around, you also met his friends! They're very nice and kind as well.

- Whenever Mk visited Flower Fruit Mountain, you'd always bake a peach cake or peach something (cause there were only peaches in this mountain) for both Wukong and Mk to feast on when they finished training.

- Wukong would eat way too much of those, he loved your cooking- especially if it included peaches in it

- When Wukong left you all alone on the Flower Fruit Mountain, he said he'd by away for a few days- and more importantly, away from Mk too, you weren't happy but respected his choice but didn't argue.

- After you found out about everything and where Wukong really was? Oh, boy, you were FURIOUS that he left Mk like that with such a stupid reason and you two had a serious talk.

- At least everything was alright after that.

- Then finally, after about two months figured out a way to go back to your home!

- Wukong was happy for you but he also felt deep loneliness and hurt in his heart, he didn't want you to leave.

- After thinking you left, he just went back to the Flower Fruit Mountain. The monkeys around noticed the sudden change in their King's mood and knew what happened.

- Wukong just sat on the tree in silence, he felt his heart empty as it usually was before he met you. He knew it would hurt yet he opened himself to you.

- After a few minutes, Wukong was surprised to hear you calling out his name and he immediately jumped down from the tree.

- "What happened? Did something go wrong?" Wukong was immediately confused and concerned as to why you were still here, Eevee was on your shoulder too.

- After you explained to him you wanted to stay with him, he was SO FREAKING HAPPY

- He hugged you so tightly and spun you around, which caused you to let out a laugh, you weren't expecting that

- And what you weren't expecting more was for Wukong to kiss you on your lips once he put you down on your feet, he still held you close to him.

- That night was beautiful and probably a moment that will forever stay in your memory and make you smile when you look back at it.

Macaque;

- Umbreon? I know, I'm very uncreative.

- When you found yourself in a different world, you immediately began to explore with your Umbreon close by you.

- You could only guess you somehow ended up in a different realm, but you weren't sure exactly how that happened.

- A lot of people around looked at you and your pokemon weirdly as you passed. You ignored their looks of course.

- Honestly you'd probably be wandering around for a few days until you met Macaque.

- It was by accident, you accidentally bumped into him once and when he saw you again a few days later, he did get a bit curious.

- Especially that weird looking creature with you, he could probably take it away from you and figure out how that thing works.

- So, first thing he did was meet you.

- You didn't trust him at first but after a few hours you explained that you weren't from this world.

- Macaque thought you were joking but when you explained everything to him he was a bit shocked and silent.

- He agreed to let you stay with him since he saw you had nowhere to go.

- Mostly he wasn't at the dojo, he'd be somewhere wandering around and hiding in the shadows.

- You didn't mind, you and Umbreon were still trying to figure out a plan of how to return home.

- When Macaque one night arrived injured, you were completely shocked and slightly concerned.

- Macaque thought you'd be sleeping right now so that's why he returned at night, but unfortunately he was wrong.

- He tried to tell he was okay and refused to let you bandage him up, but you weren't letting the topic go so he snapped at you.

- What he wasn't expecting was for you to snap back at him and pull him to the bathroom by his scarf.

- He couldn't do anything but let you bandage him up, he wasn't expecting for you to shout back at him and honestly he was a little impressed.

- But what he didn't understand more is why you were helping him with his injuries.

- When he asked you why, you replied "You let me stay here, and I want to return the favor. Even if it's something small like helping you with your injuries I'll do it. Plus, you shouldn't leave yourself to bleed like that, if you need me to help I will."

- And oh, god, the soft look you gave him caused him to have butterflies in his stomach and his mouth immediately closed before he could respond, his cheeks warm.

- That was the night he caught feelings for you, only he didn't realize it yet.

- Honestly, he was planning to bandage himself without you knowing or looking, but after that incident, every time he got in a fight and was injured he would let you bandage him.

- Of course, he knew how to treat his own wounds, that was just a excuse so he could be closer to you.

- And you definitely knew it but kept quiet about it.

- Macaque was originally going to steal your pet away from you but after spending some time with you and the way you'd do small gestures, whenever that be placing your hand on his shoulder he couldn't bring himself to do it.

- Your pet was weak anyway to be honest, and useless to him.

- So yes, he actually decided to help you and he'd stay with you up at night to figure out a plan with you.

- But due to that, he wasn't sleeping and you noticed by the way he seemed more sluggish than usual when you weren't looking and by the dark circles under his eyes.

- You'd usher him to bed despite his protests, and watch over him until he fell asleep.

- When he fell asleep, you started to read a book with Umbreon on your lap who was also taking a nap, but then you heard a whine.

- You looked down, it wasn't Umbreon, he was snoring quietly.

- But when you looked at Macaque, you realized his body was tense and his eyebrows were furrowed as he grunted, you could tell he was having a nightmare.

- You put Umbreon away and let him sleep on the chair while you hesitantly walked over to Macaque, you didn't want to wake him up since he just fell asleep after 30 minutes or so.

- Instead, you placed your hand on top of his in hopes it would soothe him.

- What you weren't expecting was for Macaque to grab your wrist and pull you harshy towards him until you were laying on top of him while he was hugging you.

- You were completely stunned, but he seemed to finally have calmed down and had a much more relaxing look on his face so it was worth it.

- After a few unsuccessful attempts of trying to escape his grip, you gave up and eventually fell asleep too.

- Oh boy, when macaque woke up he was blushing like crazy when he saw that he was holding you in his arms

- After that none of you address what happened and pretend like you never cuddled in the first place.

- You two spend a lot of nights together, Macaque would be close by your side and rest his head on your shoulder while you two looked through books to find something useful.

- Simple acts like that would end up being much more as days come and go, he'd be very hesitant but he'd wrap his tail around you too, and you'd rest your head on top of his. He did fall asleep like that once.

- He was so desperately touch starved but also didn't want to make the first move to hug you so you'd do it for him.

- After about a few months, you end up finding a way home and Macaque is really happy for you! Or so you thought, he's a good actor and he only pretended to be happy for your sake.

- You couldn't help but feel sad though, right as you were about to leave you hesitated and realized you wanted to stay here.

- Umbreon agreed to be with you too, he was taking a liking in Macaque as well.

- When you arrived back at the dojo, you immediately hugged Macaque leaving him stunned.

- You explained the situation and that you wanted to stay with him.

- Macaque was happy by it, though a sly grin was on his face, he truly was happy on the inside.

- What you weren't expecting was for Macaque to kiss you.

- You kissed him back of course, but the kiss grew heated and the next thing you know your back is pressed against the wall with your hands and legs wrapped around him while you two make out.

- Needless to say, you had a pretty... Memorable night you'd never forget.

S o b

I don't think I'm doing this right, it's like I'm writing a scenario, not a headcanon 😭

It's 2.4k words long 💀

[sunsage]

He's in the kitchen, as he often is, making lunch for himself when the eclipse starts. It's hardly an unusual occurrence in this city (he's used to them too, despite sleeping through most). There shouldn't be a feeling of dread settling over him as the sky darkens or the oh so familiar pang of loss when it clears.

There shouldn't be. And yet.

He finishes lunch first. Eats, despite how heavily food settles at the bottom of his stomach. Then stares at the locked screen of his phone, finger hovering over it for a while. (His lockscreen is still a group photo from the New Years, with all of them waving awkwardy into the camera. It's kind of bad, objectively, but he likes it).

There's no point in dragging this out. And yet.

His list of favourite contacts is two names short. The chats he had both with Macaque and with Gabriel are gone as well. It feels almost cruel, that the Stars would take both of them at once, but he doubts it was personal. It's just bad luck. His luck. Just like that, grief settles over him in a heavy, suffocating blanket; though he is familiar with its weight by now. He knew it was coming, that it was only a matter of time before one of them (both of them) was sent back. They even talked about it, briefly, in hushed voices as if talking too loud might jinx them. And yet, Wukong still hoped it wouldn't be today. Hoped that somehow, this possibility will always stay somewhere in the far away tomorrow. Stupid of him.

(At least Macaque would still be waiting for him at home, but would he remember being here with him? Would he remember their late night texts, or how he held Wukong in his arms as he was slowly dying?

Would it be better if he didn't?)

Sun is still high in the sky when he pushes away from the table and heads out. There are things he left in both of their apartments that he'd rather check for before new residents show up.

(He knows what it sounds like, but he's not trying too check if they are still there. He knows better. He should know better.)

Fibonacci residential district is about as lively as it usually is, which is to say not at all. Wukong pulls the hoodie tighter over his head - doesn't want to be recognised or talked to right now - and heads to what used to be Macaque's house. Nezha's not home, which is probably for the best. The room, as expected, is empty. None of the clothes that Macaque "borrowed" from him are there either.

(Later he will find them in the back of his own closet, still smelling like Macaque, and find no relief in it.)

There is a dusty paper monkey in a corner of one shelf, the only off thing in an otherwise spotless room. Reluctantly, Wukong picks it up and puts it in his pocket.

Moving on.

Gabriel's house is farther out than most. Wukong is pretty sure the ones that are past it are currently vacant, and Gabriel himself didn't have any roommates, other than-

-He hears her before he sees her, the desperate meows as she claws at the front door. There is a box of all her things and a pet carrier with an open door sitting on the porch next to her but Curry ignores them, trying instead to get inside a house that used to be hers. Wukong swears and hops the fence, startling her into a hiss and an arched back.

"It's okay, Curry, it's just me." Her fur settles (she still doesn't like him much but she knows, at least, that he's not a threat) and she turns back to the door, looking between it and him again expectantly. Wukong inhales, ignores the ache in his chest. "He's not here. Come on, you can stay at my place until we find you a good home."

He crouches, opening his arms for her. The cat stares at him for a moment and turns away, pawing at the door and meowing insistently. He tries again. "You can't stay here, he's- he's gone."

His voice breaks at the last word. Wukong takes a deep breath- tries to, though it stutters on the way in. Not now. Not here. He just... he needs to take her with him and go.

Curry wails, high-pitched and desperate, and presses her face against the door as if that might make it open.

He gets it, really. She's young, unused to loss, and she lived here for the most of her life. She doesn't understand yet that her home was the person that lived here, not the house.

She doesn't understand yet that sometimes people just leave, and don't come back.

"Alright, if I open the door for you and you make sure there's nobody in there, will you go with me?" She looks at him and meows again. Fair enough. That's probably the only response he's going to get.

Wukong doesn't have the key but that hardly matters. With one strong push and quick pull, the lock breaks and the door opens. Curry runs in immediately, bounding up the stairs to what used to be her room.

(It's not, anymore. And it never will be again).

Wukong lingers on the first floor for a moment. The place is spotless. And empty, in a way that houses that have people living in them aren't. The little tells that someone uses the space (dishes sitting in the drying rack days after being used, a single winter coat hanging near the entrance, little paper figurines he left around the house) are all gone.

Wukong swallows past the lump in his throat and follows the cat.

The room is clean as well, almost sterile. Gabriel was never one for making messes or having too many personal items, but compared to how it looked before it feels almost barren now. Curry stands in the middle of the room and sniffs the air, looking lost. (It doesn't smell like him either). She turns back to Wukong and meows a question that he has no answer to.

"I'm sorry." He says, and adds, "It's not your fault. He didn't want to leave you."

She looks around the room and cries again, nothing like her loud meows before, just quiet and sorrowful in a way that almost breaks Wukong's heart (if he could, he'd cry out too). She doesn't resist when he picks her up now, tucking her face into the bend of his arm. He wonders if she can smell Gabriel on him.

"I'm sorry." He's not sure what else to say. How do you comfort someone who just lost the most important person in their life? (He wouldn't know.) "I should have some of his stuff back at my house. You can have it while you're there."

He can't keep her: doesn't know how to take care of her, doesn't think she'd like his house. But he won't leave her here alone either. Finding her a better home is the least he can do.

It's the only thing he can do.

He shuts the door behind him for the last time, hand lingering on the doorknob for a moment too long. He will never come back here again. There is nothing here to come back to.

He hopes, despite how little he knows about Gabriel's world, despite all the things he does know being so profoundly sad, that his the angel is happy where he is now.

He hopes, though he will never know.

He doesn't turn around for a last look as he shrinks all of Curry's things and tucks them safely into his pocket. It's just an empty house, after all. Still, he lingers, unsure if he should say something.

(He doesn't want to. He wants to go home and sleep for a very long time.)

Words stick to his throat, unwilling to be said when there is noone here to hear them other than a cat that doesn't understand. Wukong turns his head, looks up at the sky. The day is sunny and way too warm.

Sun Wukong holds the cat with no owner a little tighter to his chest, and flies back home.

[starsfic]

I also have request for an Ep9 bad end. Though the big difference is Macaque pulling MK wholesale into the giant shadow beast instead of just stealing his powers. More mental manipulation for MK(like getting to experience Macaque’s own confusing feelings on The Monkey King),more ways for Macaque to hurt Wukong. And more angst for Wukong. Everyone Loses!

He should've known.

The minute he had gotten up onto that rooftop and realized that this other monkey wasn't his mentor, he should've realized. The minute he told him he was a weapon, he should've realized. All the signs were there. All he had to do was look.

Well, he realized as Macaque smirked up at him, it was too late now.

Then Macaque was gripping his wrist. Hard enough to bruise.

The staff was too heavy. He released it and Macaque swung before he could realize that was exactly what the dark-furred monkey had wanted him to do. Xiaotian didn't scream as he fell, too shocked and horrified to even manage a wheeze.

Underneath him, the shadows twisted and shifted, until the giant shadow monkey peered up at him, twisting open its jaws.

He fell in, barely only hearing a familiar cry of "KID!" A flash of gold coated his eyes.

And then the world went dark.

Xiaotian blinked. Once. Twice. Finally, his eyes adjusted to reveal... nothing. Just a void. A dark, empty, void.

Where was he?

He tried to speak. Nothing came out.

Someone else spoke instead. "Golden like the sun..." It took a moment but... that was Macaque. Macaque, sounding absolutely fascinated.

Macaque spoke again before Xiaotian could wonder what was golden. "Yes, my King!" He sounded excited, hopeful.

My King?

Like... Monkey King?

"I need to tell him."

Tell him...?

Was Macaque trying to show him something? Something about his mentor? Well, whatever it was, Xiaotian didn't want to hear it. It was probably going to be another lie.

He tried to speak again, but a "I love you!" made him pause. Then a quiet "Wha...What do you mean, you don't feel the same?" Oh boy. If this was true, that meant Macaque had been rejected.

Xiaotian couldn't blame Sun Wukong.

Silence.

Was it over? Right. He needed to focus-

"WHY! I'm your equal! Doesn't that matter more than whatever you have with them?!" Fury made him clap his hands over his ears. "No! No no no no- I'm more important to you. You need to know that!"

Ah.

[purble-turble]

I really love the hatred between Red and Dad Macaque and how it gets worse when Shan is born so... Angst 6, trying to have a quiet argument where Shan can't hear and repeat the bad words

For some reason everyone else seemed completely blind to the fact that the Six-Eared-Macaque was an absolute bastard.

He had managed to charm MK so much that he even slipped up and called the monkey "dad" sometimes. Not to mention Sun Wukong, the one Red had hoped he could rely on to join him in his hatred, had also fallen for his tricks. His parents were of no help, since they were old friends with Macaque anyway. Even MK's friends, including the Monkey King scholar who knew of the villain's history, didn't seem to have a problem with the shadow monkey being so close now.

Red Son had only tried to bring up his distrust with MK once. He had wanted to express how Macaque was still a villain and was definitely up to something. Before he had a chance to properly explain himself, MK had interrupted him and insisted that it was fine. Macaque used to be a villain, but now he genuinely cared about MK and that got him to stop being a villain. When Red tried to argue, MK just pointed out how it was exactly what had happened between the two of them. If Red Son could be changed by his love for MK, then why couldn't Macaque?

What was he supposed to say to that? He could try to point out how that was different- they were in love, and it was a partnership, but with Macaque... well, his version of love wasn't the same at all. When he cared about someone, he wanted to possess them, to have them all to himself. Red Son could have said something like that to MK... but he knew he would just bring up the fact that Red had literally kidnapped him and kept him all to himself for about eight months until their kid was born, and Red just knew he wouldn't have the composure to explain how that was different!

In any case, it wasn't as if he had any solid proof. He just knew. He knew Macaque was furious that he and MK were together, but until he actually made a move, Red wouldn't be able to do anything about it. All he could do was try to be prepared... and keep Shan as far away from him as possible.

Luckily that didn't seem to be a problem. Unlike the baby's other grandparents, Macaque was wholly uninterested in trying to spend time with her, and in fact seemed to avoid it as much as he could. MK was still blind from the monkey's charm, so he hadn't noticed this.

That's what he had thought, at least.

Turns out MK had somewhat noticed that Macaque didn't spend much time with her and decided unilaterally that he would fix that problem. That's how Red Son found himself standing in their penthouse's living room across from Macaque, exchanging a tense glare. MK was in the other room getting ready for their date- their first one in a long, long time, considering they hadn't gone out together during their secret pregnancy, and they certainly hadn't had the time for it once Shan arrived... Red had actually been somewhat looking forward to the idea when MK brought it up. He only wished he had mentioned who he got to babysit before it was already too late.

"So, date night, huh?" Macaque did a poor job of concealing the contempt in his voice as he smirked at Red Son. His tone was clearly on purpose since he did a perfectly fine job of concealing it when the others were around. "Sounds like fun. It's great how you and my kid spend all your time together."

Red felt himself bristle at the sound of the monkey's voice, but he managed to reign in his temper enough that his hair didn't start sparking like it wanted to. "Cut the crap. Don't think I'm not onto you," he said in a hushed whisper so MK or Shan wouldn't overhear from the other room, "I don't know what you're planning, but if you lay a single finger on my daughter-"

"Oh please," Macaque interrupted him, dropping the false smile he had a moment ago but matching the hushed tone, "I'm not about to do something to MK's kid. Especially not when I'm responsible for her. You think I'm that stupid?"

"All I know is you clearly don't like her, and that's enough for me to be suspicious of your motives."

A dark frown appeared on Macaque's face at Red's words. "You dumbass... you think I wanted to babysit your stupid spawn so that you can spend the night making out with my kid in some movie theater? This is my worst nightmare."

Macaque offered a quiet shrug as he continued, "But, MK asked me to babysit, and I couldn't exactly say no, could I? Gotta let him know I'm a team player."

"What does that mean?"

"It means I'm going to put up with this for tonight, but one of these days I'm going to make sure MK doesn't need you anymore," Macaque took a step closer to loom over Red Son who had to fight off the instinct to shy away from the overpowered monkey. "He's already getting sick of you after being stuck with you for nine months. You knock up my kid and then trap and isolate him and I'm supposed to be the bad guy? How long before he realizes how stupid and useless you are and moves on?"

Red Son flinched at the words. "It wasn't like that at all!"

"Yeah yeah, I know your excuse of keeping him safe from your messed up family or whatever." Macaque finally leaned back out of Red Son's face. "You can't fool me, though. You loved it the whole time... you'd go back to that set up in a second if you thought you could get away with it."

"You're wrong!"

"Am I?" Macaque's smirk returned.

It took every ounce of Red Son's restraint not to reach out and try to slap it off him. Instead, he turned away so he didn't have to look at him. As if this bastard shadow monkey didn't piss him off enough, he had to go projecting like that onto him. He didn't want to isolate MK... he didn't! He had just been following his protective instincts to keep him safe. Macaque was just projecting. He's the one who wanted MK all to himself.

"Forget it, you're a fucking asshole," Red Son grumbled at last, "and this conversation is over."

Just as Red Son finished speaking, MK came bustling into the room with a squirming little bundle in his arms. "Here she is!" he called.

The atmosphere in the room shifted immediately as Red and Macaque both turned to face MK with bright smiles on their faces. Shan was quickly handed off to Macaque, who pulled her close in a hug saying something in a sickeningly sweet voice about how they were going to have so much fun together. Red Son fought to keep the smile on his face as he watched the clearly (at least to him) fake affection take place. It made his blood boil, but he didn't want to upset MK who was absolutely beaming at the sight of his father figure bonding with his daughter.

Red Son did his best to focus on MK as he grabbed him by the hand and led him out the door. He also tried to have fun with his husband on their date... but his mind kept drifting back to Macaque. He'd figure out a way to get MK to see the truth.
