Usually when someone's asks me,
"Hey! How would you describe the Monkey kid?"
My answer is usually long but I shorten it by saying-
"He's just some guy with a powerful staff."
But in reality, they're so much more. The Monkey Kid (or MK as his friends call him) is a boy, he's not your usual scrawny skinny boy who wears cool clothing. Xe's actually chubby, wearing stupid clothing that somehow looks good on him.
Wearing these bracelets with little designs that represent his friends. Having a couple of moles along his arms, they have three on their right and five on their left.
Surely enough if you look closely, he has freckles. They're not that visible but they're shaped like stars. Maybe that's just me but it really shows how he holds the world. Xe likes to put stickers and draw on themselves when nervous.
Like flowers, animals, and sometimes Sun Wukong. And when you hold their hand, they're the softest and warmest you'd ever touch. They're not rough, usually soft and never dry even. I don't know how xe does it, but he manages to.
Oh, and his hair. How to begin with it? It looks so spiky but once you run your fingers through them it's like a cloud. So silky as well, he only uses shampoo that are colorful, he doesn't like them plain and simple apparently. Most of the time they smell like faint hibiscus with a hint of papaya.
I had almost forgotten his face, I really love it. He has a soft face, so soft that you'd want to squish and caress at the same time. And their eyes, oh their eyes, dark chocolate that even from a far you'd know hold the sweet form of honey. The way xe scrunches up his face when smiling.
Have I said he has a tooth gap? It's there, they don't mind though, even if they hate how they can't whistle. The way he doesn't bother to flash a smile to others when walking by. Or the way xe laughs and giggles when seeing something monkey king related. I'd hate it if someone were to make fun of him for it.
His scars as well, he has some around his forearms and legs. Probably by the many times he's fallen during his childhood and till now. Whenever they get hurt xe always likes to put on Band-Aids. As you can guess, only the monkey king ones. As many as there are he doesn't pay much attention to them, doesn't bother covering them up, as if they're not something to be ashamed of.
I would go on about them, really, but there's so much that needs to be kept now. I can't go on and on about him if he wanted to. I'd be ashamed to say it if it weren't for how smitten I am by him.
I truly do love him.
