♡ S A T O R U G O J O ♡
You hear the door open to the apartment you shared with your boyfriend, and you set your phone down on the low table beside the couch, skipping into the hallway to greet the excessively tall love of your life.
“Hello, my honeypot,” Gojo breathed, hands settling on your hips as you reached up to embrace him, allowing yourself to sink into his warmth, nose nuzzling into his neck, inhaling his sugar-sweet scent.
“I missed you, ‘Toru,” you whispered against the shell of his ear, hands working at his blindfold, leaning back to take in the crystal blue of his eyes, before kissing the tip of his nose.
Gojo Satoru did not usually blush, and only you had the pleasure of seeing him in this state, beruffled and blushing. “Not more than I missed you,’ he giggled, and you smiled.
“Of course,’ you returned. “While you were gone, I made us hot chocolate.”
“Read my mind, sugar drop.”
“Go get comfy, I’ll bring it out.”
Taking a moment to appreciate the perfect-ness of his life, Satoru watched you prance into the kitchen, moving to sit on the couch you had just vacated, the print of your ass still on the cushions.
And that was when it caught his eye. The words caught him off guard at first, before he picked up your phone and skimmed through what you had just been reading, the utter filth not shocking him at all — it was strikingly similar to his and your escapades in the bedroom.
“Y/N!” Satoru hollered, and you came in, dewy-eyed and smiling, carrying two steaming mugs in your hand. When you saw your phone in Satoru’s hand, your eyes widened in unfortunate realisation, as you remembered what was on the screen.
Still, you decided not to let it throw you off. “Here you go,” you seated yourself beside your boyfriend. “I made it how you like it, extra marshmallow foam on top.”
“Thank you, toots,” Satoru leaned forward to place a kiss on your nose, just like you had earlier, and the normalcy of the gesture made you lower your guard.
You gasped, and before you knew it, Satoru was on top of you, your faces inches apart, his leg wedged between your bare thighs that were barely covered by short shorts.
“So is this what you do when I’m gone?”
“What?” You continued to act oblivious, but the fevered blush on your face and cleavage had already given you away, you knew it.
“‘He pressed her to the wall-” Satoru began reading out, and you wanted to hide your face away, but he was so close and being caught red-handed was turning you on, for an inexplicable and unfair reason. “-and heat shot through her veins as his length pressed into her, spreading her apart in the most delicious way, pain—’”
“Okay, okay, fine! I admit it,” you shouted, wanting this embarrassment to end, pressing yourself into Satoru’s chest.
“Admit what? Go on, say it.” You could sense the gloating smile in his words.
“I was reading smut!” You shrieked, and Satoru laughed, putting your phone aside, drawing you away from his chest, and meeting your gaze. “Are you mad at me?” you pouted.
Satoru laughed again, a full-bodied laugh of true humour. “Well?” you demanded. “Are you mad?”
“God no, honeypot,” Satoru sat up, pulling you into his lap, and you shivered at what you felt, the outline of his hardness nudging up against the crotch of your shorts. “I think it’s sexy.”
“What?” you deadpanned, not believing him for a second.
“It’s hot,” he whispered and tilted your chin up, pressing a sultry kiss to the hollow of your throat, biting softly, sucking a mark into your skin.
“Really?” your voice faltered under your boyfriend’s ministrations, his hands reaching under your shirt to grasp and palm at the weight of your tits.
“Yes, very,” Satoru exhaled, before biting down hard enough to leave a mark on the plane of your shoulder, a moan escaping unbidden from your mouth. “I’m glad I’m living up to your standards too.”
At this, you pulled him up by the roots of his hair, snorting as he let out a whorish moan. “My god, ‘Toru, you’re such a perv.”
He gave you a rakish grin, intertwining his fingers with your free hand. “I’m your perv.”
“Shut up,” you scrunched your nose, unable to help a girlish giggle, cradling Satoru’s face in your hands and placing a soft, messy kiss on his mouth. “The hot chocolate’s gone cold,” you reminded him, and he groaned.
“Fuck that. You know you’re my favourite treat, sweetheart.”
“Satoru, you’re so cheesy,” you sighed giddily, rising from the comfortable seat of his lap, and Satoru clung to your hand, refusing to let go. “I’m gonna reheat the drinks.”
“Sure,” he agreed, but before you could take a step further, he trilled, “Y/N,” voice full of a familiar cheekiness. You turned to face him, and he pulled you close, hugging your torso, sky-blue eyes looking up imploringly at you.
“Yes?”
“You wanna watch porn together?”
“Satoru!”
♡ S U G U R U G E T O ♡
“Love,” Suguru acknowledged you as you strode out of the shower, towel wrapped around your torso, and you threw him a smile over your shoulder as you opened the doors of your closet. “How was your shower?”
“Refreshing.”
“You gonna get dressed now?”
“Yeah, in the comfy pyjamas.”
“Pity,” Suguru sighed, the falsity in his voice obvious, getting your attention immediately.
“Why? You wanna do something else?” Modesty was just a facade, you had always believed, and following your age-old principle, you dropped your towel, but your boyfriend didn’t so much as blink at your sudden nudity.
“Suguru,” you called pleadingly, taking a step forward. “What’s on your mind?”
At this, Suguru looked you straight in the eye. “Stay right there, darling. Don’t move a single muscle.” His tone was low and dangerous, and it ignited something electrifying in you.
With a predator’s prawl, Suguru walked up to you, and that’s when you saw what was in his hand — a bookmarked page of a novel with highly graphic smut you had forgotten was on your bedside.
“Suguru, I—” you began before he shook his head, effectively silencing you.
“Darling, I confess, I didn’t know your taste skewed this way when it came to books.” Suguru drew close, moving behind you, his breath fanning the bare nape of your neck and his arms encircling you as he opened the book to where you had last left off reading. “Would you read aloud for me, love?”
“Sugar, are you mad?” You asked, your question devolving into a shrieky gasp when he pinched your butt, hard.
“Is that reading aloud, love? I know you aren’t dumb. Go on, read.”
When Suguru was like this, you couldn’t help but feel a shocking thrill. You knew his meanness, his tendency to be merciless ought to frighten or scare you, but often it made you feel especially vulnerable, especially sexy. Being at Suguru’s mercy was an exquisite kind of torture.
Swallowing a nervous gulp, you found a suitable paragraph to begin reading, but your eyes grew unfocused when you felt slender, be-ringed fingers caressing your sides, teasing at the sensitive skin beneath your tits.
“Start right here,” Suguru pointed out a line, and your mouth grew dry. Still, you began narrating, the lewd words feeling especially salacious on your tongue.
As you moved down the page, Suguru’s hands moved up and down your body, grazing soft, dewy skin, circling the tender buds of your nipples, skimming your thighs, caressing the cushiony expanse of your stomach. But where you needed him the most, he avoided on purpose, and your voice grew breathier as you read, dangling on the precipice of desperation.
When his lips landed on the curve of your neck, sucking and nipping, you broke. Words forgotten, your book fell to the floor, and you whined, voice dripping with need. “Sugar, Suguru, please.”
“What’s wrong, love?”
“I… I need you. I want to touch you. Need you to touch me.”
Suguru hummed against your skin, and his fingers traced the goose-pimpled outline of your arms, bringing them to rest at the small of your back, holding you captive.
“In the book—”
“Suguru, please, I—”
As swift as lightning, one of your boyfriend’s hands came to circle your throat, pressing hard enough to make you swallow the pathetic words that rested on the tip of your tongue. His other hand remained, and you were entirely at his mercy.
“Let me speak, darling.” A shiver crept down your spine. “The woman in that book seemed to love being bent in half and stuffed full by her lover’s cock. Is that why you were reading? Is that something you want?”
Oh. Oh, Suguru wasn’t jealous. He was turned on. Risking punishment, you pressed your bare ass into him, and gasped at what you felt, the impressive length of him straining against his sleep trousers.
“Answer me, love.” His grip around your throat loosened ever so slightly, enough for you to draw a quick breath and nod. “Tsk, use your words.”
“Yes, Sugar. I… I would like that.”
“Then, I can’t let my girl down now, can I?”
Just like that, he hoisted you up, and your legs locked around his waist as your lips met in a messy, sloppy, desperate. You delighted in the groan that left him when you pressed your dripping core to his covered dick, and his hands were all over you, fondling whatever he could, a starving man at a bountiful banquet.
Laying you down on your bed, he knelt above you, breaking your kiss with a panting smirk. Fingers under your chin, he tilted your face up to meet his burning gaze.
“Darling?”
“Yes, sugar?”
“Next time, instead of reading about it, I want you to ask me.”
You blushed, hard. “You don’t mind…?”
“Fuck no, love. But tell me, and I’ll put those fictional men to shame.”
♡ M E G U M I F U S H I G U R O ♡
“Come on, you know this, I know you do,” your boyfriend and temporary tutor, Megumi encouraged you, as you gazed frustratedly at the sum before you.
“Ugh! I’m sick of this,” you sighed, pushing away from the table, disturbing the silence in the library, earning yourself a sharp ‘sh!’ from somewhere within the depths of the labyrinthian complex.
Megumi frowned. “It’s fine, maybe you need a break.”
“Maybe,” you replied, desperate to try anything at this point.
“Alright, I’m gonna go get some water. Just do something that’ll help you unwind, yeah?”
“Okay,” you nodded, watching as Megumi left, your eyes on his pert ass, defined so well by the tailored trousers he insisted on wearing. You knew he could feel your eyes on his ass, but hey, he had told you to unwind.
Stretching slightly, you quickly pulled up the novel choc full of smut you’d been reading, settling in before getting to the good part. Unfortunately, you were so absorbed in the story, that you didn’t notice someone sneaking up behind you.
It was only when you felt Megumi’s slow, cool breath fanning the nape of your neck did you jerk up, quickly locking your phone and putting it away. But as you felt Megumi’s hands creep up your arms, dragging his short, manicured nails over your goose-pimpled skin, you knew you were royally fucked.
“What were you reading, Y/N?” Megumi asked conversationally, and you swallowed nervously, mind racing to find a proper answer and drawing a blank.
“Nothing,” you chirped, a bead of sweat forming on your brow. “Just a chapter of a book I hadn’t gotten the chance to finish.”
Megumi spun the chair, so you were facing him now, his warm breath now tickling your nose, and you were stunned into silence by how pretty your boyfriend looked when he smirked, long lashes, breathtaking eyes, a lopsided smile that brought out a secret dimple in his cheek. “Hm, what’s the book about?”
“Nothing that would interest you! Just some silly romance I was reading for the sake of it…”
“Silly romance? Because that’s not what I saw.”
Then commenced a staring contest of a few seconds, which you failed miserably, your resolve crumbling quickly and effortlessly under Megumi’s sharp gaze. “Fine!” you slammed your fists against the arm of the chair half-heartedly. “I was reading smut.”
Megumi quirked an eyebrow as you bit your lip. “Rather graphic smut too.” You said nothing as Megumi ran a finger along the seam of your lips, drawing the one you were biting from between your teeth.
Instead of letting you go, as you had expected of your rarely mean, often kind, boyfriend, he leaned forward, and caught your lip between his teeth, hands slipping under your shirt to rest against your stomach, squeezing harshly as he drew you into a messy, filthy kiss.
“Megs! What’re you doing?” you managed to gasp before he swallowed your words in a feverish clash of teeth, his tongue asking gentle entry into your mouth before making you whine as he grabbed handfuls of your ample flesh, fingers grazing over your tits, and Megumi pressed you to the chair, reducing you to whimpers.
“You’ve never been hotter, angel,” Megumi spoke in a timbre so low it was almost a growl, and slightly confused, you broke away with a gasp, breasts aching from the lack of attention they were getting, a string of saliva connecting your mouths.
“Wait, so you just caught me reading smut… and you’re turned on by it?” You asked, squeezing your thighs together.
Megumi fell into the chair beside yours, stroking the back of your hand as he tilted your chin upward to meet his eye. “Absolutely, angel.”
“Ah,” you managed, distracted by the hand that had come to circle your throat, Megumi’s eyes lit with a feral glow. A moment passed before two things came to you; one, that the two of you were in your school’s library, and two, how fucking wet you were, so much so that you were fearful of leaving a stain on the chair beneath you.
“You wanna take a break back in the apartment?” you breathed, wanting actually to climb into Megumi’s lamp, a noticeable bulge in his sweet, sexy, tailored trousers.
“Sure, angel, but I have a condition.”
“What?”
“Read that book to me, aloud.”

Deep blue, but you painted me golden
the first time you realise you're in love with yeonjun
Pairing: female reader + choi yeonjun
Tags: realisation of love, date in the park, fluff, tooth rotting fluff, LOTS of kissing (self indulgent)
sfw!
the first time you realise you love yeonjun you're in central park for a last minute picnic (that you were not dressed appropriately for- a pair of jeans and a tshirt that you had borrowed from jun). you're setting down your art supplies as you look over to yeonjun who's already begun taking pictures on his film camera ( that you had given him as a present).
Maybe it's the way the sunlight falls on his face or the way he smiles as the breeze touches his hair, maybe it's the way he's always treated you, or the way he is always so gentle when he speaks, to everyone around him- his gentle soul is an all access feature that seldom makes you jealous for he makes you feel special in a million other ways.
He had asked you out twice before you agreed to go on a date with him, too scared to mess up the friendship and lose him if it didn't work out, and he missed no chance to let you know it was the best day ever for him.
Making sure to not overwhelm you (you were, his aura is overwhelming in itself) he prepared a dinner at your shared apartment and laughed wholeheartedly when you accused him of using his fabulous cooking skills to get more than one date outta you, "well my charm has worked once, I'm sure you'll agree for another date if i asked nicely" he had said, silly him didn't know it wouldn't even take asking you twice, you've wanted this for a long long time.
He got himself another date and then one more and a third impromptu one you were currently at. In the 10 days you guys had been going out (in your head anyway) holding his hand and resting your head on his chest is the most physical contact you had initiated. On the second date you had anticipated him to kiss you, with the way he pulled you by your waist but he stopped at a forehead kiss instead, somehow that had you blush like crazy.
Lost in your thoughts you did not notice when yeonjun has already walked towards you and had squatted down near you waving his hands, "earth to y/n. where are you lost?"
"nothing just thinking what to draw" you lied.
"well you can always draw me, but if you wanna draw me like one od your french girl, we'll have to go back to our apartment" he teased.
"you're so annoying" you say shoving him onto the blanket you were currently sitting on.
he laughs as he falls and you stop in your tracks to feel how his laugh rang in your ear like a song.
"and yet you're on a third date with me!" he says cheekily laying on his side.
good god he looks ethereal.
"hello!! why are you getting distracted when im hereee, do you not wanna be here? we can always leave" he says sitting up, trying his best to hide his disappointment and his pout. god he's adorable.
"sorry for getting distracted juniee i was just thinking, we don't have to leave i like it here, love it actually! thank you for bringing me here" you almost have to control the urge to just lean in and squish his face.
you spend the next few minutes drawing the scenery as jun lays on his back with his eyes closed. comfortable silence, you've realised is one of your favourite things that come so naturally with him. You put down your pens to look over at jun and feel your whole body shiver with the way his face glimmers under the sunlight, the shadow of the leaves on his face making up for the perfect shot for a picture.
you grab his camera and click a picture and then another and put it down only to continue staring at him. your hands, with a mind of their own, reach over to his face to move his hair from near his eyes; your body following your hand leans over as your lips take the final call and place a soft kiss on his temple.
yeonjun opens his eyes in surprise with a pink hue covering his pale cheeks. embarassment takes over you as you try to move but get pulled by yeonjun landing on his chest. "my turn" he says, leaning towards you and kissing your forehead, he spends good few seconds staring at your flushed cheeks before leaning again and this time planting a kiss on your temple, and again on the other side and as your heartbeat grows, he caresses your cheek with his thumb as he plants a kiss on the other and continues to stare at you.
"you're staring" you say, body still half on top of him.
"i am" he says, as he continues to stare
"don't" you say
"and why not" he says, putting his finger under your chin making you look into his eyes.
"am i making you uncomfortable?" he asks, ever so gently
"no, I'm just....im just feeling too shy. we've been friends for so long and now suddenly we're going out and we're so close and i feel like i" you ramble on until you realise you might let out words that you shouldn't say so casually.
"hey, hey, breathe. you're getting overwhelmed, that's okay we can, we can take a step back, not go on dates for a while" he says sitting upright and holding both your hands.
"infact we don't have to go on dates at all, I'll never do something you're not comfortable with, it doesn't matter how i feel, you're more important to me than what relationship we share" he continued. you could feel his genuine concern but also the hidden hurt at the possibility of never going on another date again.
you couldn't wait for a perfect moment anymore, not when he was ready to scrap the whole idea just so you wouldn't feel overwhelmed or upset.
"yeonjun"
"yeah"
"i think..."
"i think i fell in love with you"
"no im sure, im in love with you, I've been in love with you...for a while now"
you confess, looking at his soft eyes, which looked like they would jump out with how shocked he looked
"you WHAT NOW?" he says, almost too loudly for others in the park.
"you love me? you LOVE ME??? so more dates?? You'll go on dates with me?? YOU'RE GONNA BE MY GIRLFRIEND?!" one thing about yeonjun, he cannot hide his excitement.
"well not if you don't ask me first" you say in a matter of fact tone, as if you didn't have a whole zoo in your belly.
"oh my god wait wait" he says running to the car, 5 minutes later he's coming back with what looks like a bouquet made from some flowers he picked from the park and wait- boba?!
"the boba's not as cold as you like it but i asked them for a lot of tiny ice for you, anywayy, y/n, you've been my bestfriend for years, my favourite person in the whole world, best gaming partner cause you always lose, and the girl i love for 4 years now, would you please make me the happiest guy in the world by being my girlfriend? I promise I'll get you a better bouquet at our date tonight, if you say yes that is, and i promise I'll never be too possessive and ask you not to hangout with other men, although that dude from uni might catch these hands, BUT anyway, I'll be a good boyfriend to you for as long as you'll have me and a good husb-, a good boyfriend yes" he looks up to see tears streaming down your face and gets worries before you leap into his arms and say 'yes' and repeat it until he hugs you back.
"This is the best thing that has happened to me since meeting you, yes I'll be your girlfriend, i love you so much choi yeonjun" you say taking the bouquet and boba from him, smiling through your tears.
"can i.." yeonjun says and then stops in between
"please kiss me" you say throwing your arms over his shoulders.
"god you make me crazy" he says, in a tone you didn't quite recognise, and which made your legs feel like jelly.
He kisses you softly and then gives you a few pecks as your two break the kiss but he pulls you back and kisses you again, this time more passionately, almost as if you weren't in a park filled with people, almost as if you were adorned in a sundress and not his tshirt. He breaks the kiss and sinks his head on your shoulder as he calms his breathing, making you breathless, he was so close, and yet not close enough.
"wait you said you've loved me for 4 years, that's almost as long as we've known each other!" you ask in astonishment.
he smiles shyly and replies "yeah i kinda fell in loce with you as soon as we became friends, i think it was the moment i saw you at rhat cafe, you were drawing the scenery outside the cafe's window, you looked so bright almost as if no one in that cafe knew the way to light and only you took autonomy of it"
"jesus christ dude you're such a sap!" you laugh trying to hide the loud thumping in your chest, he REALLY had you swooned.
"don't 'dude' me after you just made out with me in a public park!!" yeonjun says loudly his pout too noticeable for you to take his words seriously.
the newly received status of being his girlfriend must've messed up some wires in your brain cause before you realise, you had grabbed his face with both your hands and kissed his pout, "you're adorable!" you squealed.
"oh my god! give a guy a warning!" he exclaims trying to hide how his face had turned red.
the first time you realise you're in love with yeonjun, he tells you he's been in love with you for years.
-fin
.
this was born out of my friend sending me her fab zzn posts and how the pictures above seemed to her like the realisation of love.
i had fun writing it now (at 2 am) but i will be groaning and whining when i read it later and miss him like crazy.
not my first time using a lyrics for the story title but i hope you guys know i associate all bright things with him, he's my sun, my moon,.my everything, literally my daylight.

the last two i'll most likely still be adding songs here and there, but the 1st playlist is complete! i'll add the 1st playlist's tracklist+some lyric excerpts in the read more
black black heart - david usher
Something ugly this way comes
Through my fingers sliding inside
All these blessings all these burns
I'm godless underneath your cover
Search for pleasure search for pain
In this world now I am undying
I unfurl my flag my nation helpless
Black black heart why would you offer more
Why would you make it easier on me to satisfy
I'm on fire I'm rotting to the core
I'm eating all your Kings and Queens
dark entries - bauhaus
I came upon your room, it stuck into my head
We leapt into the bed, degrading even lice
You took delight in taking down my shielded pride
Until exposed became my darker side
dissolved girl - massive attack
Shame, such a shame
I think I kind of lost myself again
Day, yesterday
Really should be leaving, but I stay
Say, say my name
I need a little love to ease the pain
Need a little love to ease the pain
It's easy to remember, when it came
on the bound - fiona apple
You're all I need
And maybe some faith would do me good
I don't know what I'm doing
Don't know, should I change my mind?
I can't decide, there's too many variations to consider
No thing I do don't do no thing but bring me more to do
It's true, I do imbue my blue unto myself, I make it bitter
i think i'm paranoid - garbage
I think I'm paranoid
And complicated
I think I'm paranoid
Manipulate it
Bend me, break me anyway you need me
All I want is you
Bend me, break me, breaking down is easy
All I want is you
symphony - dorian electra
Something's funny when I grab my guitar
Feeling lonely like a dead shooting star
I'm not the only one who's crashing your car (crashing your car)
Need something louder just to drown out the scars
(Make some fucking noise)
Come on, baby, can't you see? (Can't you see?)
I'm gonna need a symphony (symphony)
And I'm gonna need to hear you scream
lecher bitch - genitorturers
I am the Lecher Bitch and I call on all who feed on danger
Taste of the whore. Suffer my seed
Crawl with the heretic and the world outside gets a little bit stranger
the bondage song - london after midnight
Innocent child, how you thought you knew me
Understood my ways, my dark needs
The hunt is not the thrill I'm after
I want the kill, the conquest, to be your master
Wrap your arms around my pale skin, it's too late to back out you're in
On your knees and praise your new lord, deeper now
And here's your reward, take me to bed and rip me apart
mercy - hurts
Fill me with rage
And bleed me dry
And feed me your hate
In the echoing silence
I shiver each time that you say
Don't cry mercy
There's too much pain to come
touch myself - genitorturers
I love myself, I want you to love me
When I feel down, I want you above me
I'll search myself, I want you to find me
Forget myself, I want you to remind me
I don't want anybody else
When I think about you, I touch myself
nihil - 3teeth
Bound by flesh
Freed by blood
this s*it will fcuk you up - combichrist
I am a bitch
How do you want me?
From behind
Or on my knees?
I am a slut
Please hold me down
I'll be your noise
This shit will fuck you up
you spin me round - 3teeth
I set my sights on you
And no one else will do
And I
I've got to have my way now, baby
All I know is that to me
You look like you're havin' fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out, here I come
closer - nine inch nails
(Help me) I broke apart my insides
(Help me) I've got no soul to sell
(Help me) the only thing that works for me
Help me get away from myself
you've seen the butcher - deftones
I wanna watch the way
You creep across my skull
You slowly enter
'Cause you know my room
And then you crawl your knees off
Before you shake my tomb
hey - pixies
Hey, must be a devil between us
Or whores in my head
Whores at the door
Whore in my bed
But hey!
Where have you been?
If you go, I will surely die
And the whores like a choir: Uh-uh
All night
And Mary, ain't you tired of this?
Uh, is the sound
That the mother makes when the baby breaks
hail mary - skating polly
She got hit so hard she just got up from the ground
If she ever hits back, I won't tell
Hey Mary, follow me out and we'll never walk back
Hey Mary, tell me honestly you'd never want that
Hail Mary, trust me, don't look back or it's gonna end badly
if you really love nothing - interpol
When I find my home
The next artery
Splendid I bled my whole life
So it's probably a kiss
Goodbye then
tangled up in plaid - queens of the stone age
Come, lets play along
And let each other lose
A win would cause an alarm
Don't matter to me, don't matter to you
spaceboy - smashing pumpkins
And spaceboy, they'll kill me
Before I'm dead and gone
And any way you choose me
It won't be wrong
And any way you choose me
We won't belong

This is an activity he skipped last year, still too unused to the city to try much of what the Summer Festival had to offer. It feels a little odd to do it now as well (especially the way he plans to do it), but he chalks that up to the usual anxiety around crowds and picks a spot away from everyone else.
There are the four boats one might expect from him, each with a little folded paper version of the person they correspond to. These are easy to let go of - well, easier now - though he still holds one of them to his heart for a moment longer before releasing it into the water.
There is the fifth one, though, that is in his lap now, a blue paper lion sitting inside. Wukong takes it out, holds it in his hands. He should probably say something. It's not like many would mourn the guy, especially now. At least most people in the Mortal Realm wouldn't know what he did and it's not like Azure ever cared what those who live in Celestial Realms think of him, right? He didn't even care what Wukong thought of him, apparently.
"I really wish I had something nice to say about you, bud." He fiddles with a corner, bending it this way and that. "I mean, we had some good times, right? We were friends. At least that's what I thought."
His grip tightens and the paper lion crinkles loudly in protest.
(If Azure was here, he would hold his hands until they relaxed and tell him how strong he is but that kind of strength requires patience and surely someone as amazing as him could spare some for his friend.)
"But you aren't- weren't the kind of person who would leave a friend to rot under a mountain for five hundred years without at least trying to free them. Or, you know, visiting them once. Unless you came by in my off hours?" It's a bad joke but he laughs anyway, a short, abrupt laugh that fades away almost instantly, a sour smile replaced by a tired scowl. "So I guess I wasn't really your friend after all."
The crease at the corner he's been folding over and over starts fraying at the edges, a small rip forming at the point he put most pressure on. After some consideration, Wukong crumples it into a ball and tosses it into the river. Watches it soften as it takes on water and disappears. Pulls out another piece of paper. Starts folding.
"You were brave, I'll give you that. And strong. Dedicated to your goals, even the stupid ones. Especially the stupid ones."
The ground here is uneven and the new paper figure is coming out a little crooked, but it doesn't stop him. The imperfections only make it more accurate.
(If Azure was here, he would laugh at it with that deep warm laugh of his and say something like "Wow, is this really how you see me? I'd like to think I'm more handsome than that." and he would- they would-)
"Should have probably seen the signs in how you'd step over everyone who was in your way, but I was too busy listening to all the praise you'd shower me in." He laughs again and it comes out scratchy and forced, as if his body is fighting against the sound. "Oh hey, here's another one: you were really good at compliments. You'd always sound so genuine, made it real easy for a guy to believe he can do anything. To believe that you actually cared about me outside of what I could do for you."
Folded paper rips in his hands, the almost finished head coming clean off when he pulls at it too harshly. Sun Wukong stares at his hands and waits until they stop shaking.
("Hey," he would say, quiet and soft, as he placed his hand on Wukong's shoudler, strong and dependable in face of someone as turbulent as him, "it was a good attempt. I kind of like it like that, actually. Shows character.")
He inhales shakily and doesn't cry, though a part of him wants to.
"I wish it didn't end like that. I wish you just listened."
But Azure isn't here (and if he was, he'd just try to kill him again and he would-). And he didn't listen, and he wasn't his friend and now he's dead and never will be his friend again. As always, the brunt of growth and forgiveness and grief is for him alone to carry.
Scooping up the two pieces of the unfinished paper craft, Wukong places them gently into the raft and sends it into the water.
"Goodbye, Azure. Wherever you are now, I hope you find peace."
He doesn't stay to see it drift away.
