A hand gently caresses mk’s cheek with adoration and love. He wrinkled his nose and slowly cracked open one eye.
There stood the monkey king in all his might with a soft smile and an intense look in his eyes. He was crouch down beside the bed.
“ m-monkey king? “ mk croaked out while sitting up and rubbing the sleep off his eyes.
He didn’t know why his mentor was in his room in the middle of the night. He turned his head towards the clock.
3:24
Why is the monkey king in his room at this hour?.
“ Sorry for waking you up bud “ the monkey king said with a grin while standing up and sitting on the edge of the bed.
Mk yawns and owl blinks at his mentor “ nah man it’s okay. But why are you in my room…at 3 am? “ he asked.
Monkey king expression darkens before changing into a smile “ just wanna check on you “ he replied before wrapping his tail around mk’s waist.
Mk suddenly felt nervous and tense “ o-oh okay. But don’t you have other things to do? “.
Monkey king scoffs.
“ what trying to get rid of me? “
“ WHAT! NO NO. I- “
“ Relax, kid I’m just messing with ya “
Mk swallowed his saliva and saw as the monkey king crawled beside him and rested his head on the pillow.
This whole interaction made him confused and tense. His mentor didn’t act like this.
Monkey king yawns, showing sharp fangs.
Mk felt the tail that was wrapped around his waist pull him down.
He yelped and stayed tense. His mentor closed his eyes and folded his hands behind his head.
Mk guessed he was gonna sleep like this. He gulps and slowly untense his body, now laying limp.
He looks up at his mentor while nuzzling into the pillow. He has never seen the monkey king so relaxed and calm.
He hums as tiredness settles in. He slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep. The monkey king cracks open one eye and smirks.
He turned on his side and pulled the boy closer to him. He gently tusks mk’s head under his chin.
The monkey king couldn’t help but let out e rumbling pur at the feeling of finally having his cub in his arms. He yawned and fell asleep.
______________
Mk laid on his bed with tired eyes and a small headache. He groans and rubs his eyes. He so badly wants to sleep but unfortunately can’t for some reason.
He turns on his side and closes his eyes for another attempt to sleep. Few minutes turned into hours. He stuffs his face into the pillow and screams in frustration.
He felt tears rolling down his cheeks. He sniffs and wiped the tears away with the back of his head. Mk heard a small knock on his window.
He snapped his head towards the sound and hopped off the bed. He opened the window and saw macaque waving at him with a small grin “ heya kid “ he greeted.
Mk smiled back and closed the window when macaque went inside. “ having trouble sleeping? “ macaque asked with a lift of his eyebrow.
Mk slowly nods and sat down at his bed “ is there something you want? “ he asked, a little confused as to why he’s here.
Macaque shook his head “ just wanted to check up on you “ he replied back before sitting beside mk.
Mk hums and leans back, now laying on the bed. “ Any advice on how to sleep? “ he said while sighing.
Macaque smirked “ of course “ he responded before laying beside mk and pulling him close. Mk yelps and struggled against his hold
“ MACAQUE WHAT THE FU- “
“ shush “
Macaque stuff mk’s face into his chest and lets out a deep purr. He wrapped his tail around mk’s waist and nuzzled his cheek against the young boy's hair, gently scenting him.
Marking him for others to not mess with his cub.
Mk gulps nervously and tense up when macaque chirps at him. “ Relax, kid you wanted my advice right? I’m giving it to you “ macaque said with a grin before pulling the sheets over him and mk.
Mk sighs and moves a little closer the warmth macaque provided him was so pleasantly sweet. He hums and slowly closes his eyes.
Macaque grins and pressed a kiss against mk’s forehead. Mk flinched “ w-what was that for? “. Macaque chuckled and pressed more kisses onto mk’s forehead and cheeks.
Mk whines in embarrassment and hides his face into macaque’s chest. He nuzzled into the warmth and huffs.
Macaque smirks and places his chin on top of mk’s head with a purr. Mk slowly closes his eyes and lets out a comfortable sigh before falling asleep.
Macaque chirps and croons down at the boy in his arms. His cub is finally in his arms!. He wanted this for so long. Macaque sighs happily and he pressed a last kiss onto mk’s scalp before shutting his eyes.
His dreams were filled with mk and him laying on the grass looking up at the sky full of fluffy clouds with wukong laying beside them.
Just a few more days and his cub will finally be home. Mk will finally be theirs.
