Apologies - Short Shadowpeach Fic

Apologies

Wukong was wide awake late at night. He knew Macaque liked to lurk in the shadows around that time. He got out of his bedroom and called out for him. He got a growl in response, but he approached him. He looked tired, with some eyebags showing.

  - What do ya want? I'm exhausted. -
  - I just wanted to settle things between us. Y'know. Serious talk? -
  - Settle things? Ha. Go on... -
  - I'm very sorry for leaving you that day. I regret it, and I should have at least told you before I left. It had been too long when I realized I should have. -
  - Okay. I don't forgive you. -
  - B-but. I said I'm sorry! - Sun Wukong replied, anxiety in his trembling voice.
  - Do you know what I had to go through?! Any idea? It was CENTURIES worth of pain and trauma. Fucking centuries! I even attempted suicide! You say you're sorry and you think all of that is magically fixed?! No. Haha. No. Never. Leave my sight, now. -

Sun Wukong, remorseful, flew away. Macaque, a bit hurt still, faded into the shadows nearby. He needed more time to forgive him.
