-Sleepy POV-
Something is wrong. I don't know what it is, I can't sleep I keep seeing him everywhere.
Macaque is dead so why do I keep seeing him? In my shadows I see his outlines in the window I see his silhouette I can't tell if he's looking at me or at Mk.
Maybe it's us both
But he's dead it can't be him watching us. Even if he where alive he'd come find me, right?
I stare at myself in the mirror, what could possibly be different ? Everyone is saying that I look tired or sad but I look the exact same in both forms. Shaking my head I walk out going back into my human form
"Morning sleepy!" Mk calls out "you coming to flower fruit mountain with me? " he asks, I nod "yea sure! When we leaving? " he beams. Ever since last week he's been trying to get me and wukong to at least be in friendly terms rather then just a greeting and ignoring each other
Waiting for Mk to go to the mountains I see it again.
Macaque he's staring straight at me. I freak out and take a step backwards, it's hard to breathe the Macaque's face contorts from a smug grin to a worried frown. I trip on something with tears stinging my eyes I stare at it, it walks up to me holding a arm out as if to grab me.
I blink away the tears and it dissapears. "Sleepy..? " Mk's voice comes from behind me, looking over at him I stand up "you ready to go? " he looks at me with worry, For good reason too I probably look petrified. His shadow is not him it's Macaque.
Ignoring the fact that my old friend is practically haunting me "c'mon Wukong is probably waiting for us" I summon angel petting her before getting on top of her and pulling mk up with my tail
I sit still as the monkeys continue messing with my horns and tails, I yawn, I haven't exactly been sleeping well which is odd because I can sleep for days on end hell, Ive slept for a few centuries! Not sure what's different now
Getting pulled out of my thoughts from Wukong offering me a peach, I take it and look at him confused. We stare at each other for a while "Woo lunchtime!! " yells a excited Mk running into where me and Monkey King are abruptly stopping and staring at us "am I interrupting something? " he asks awkwardly
"Nahh you're good bud just giving ol'Sleepy here some fruits" Wukong explains relaxing on his cloud, Mk looks at me and I shrug taking a bite of the peach
Eating and listening to Wukong and Mk talk about many different things, they both turn to me "Why don't you join us in training Sleepy? " Mk asks with a smile on his face "Huh? " "Yea why not? I'd like to see how you'd approach-"
"Oh oh!! I know I know!! Why don't you and Monkey King train with eachother!! It can be like a cool bonding experience!! " the both of us look at Mk judging him "don't look at me like that!!! C'mon would it hurt to just be friends!? "
Sighing I shake my head about to speak "it really wouldn't hurt! " Wukong says "but I don't think fighting is the way to go with this huh Fishy? " Wukong looks at me and I nod shrugging "what's up with you and wanting us to be friends anyway? "
Mk smiles "I just want my mentor and Best friend to get along that's all!! " Me and wukong look at each other before looking back at Mk smiling
Going home I'm greeted by Macaque watching tv. He's relaxed with a blanket over him and everything. I stare at him and he notices me patting the cushion next to him wanting me to sit there.
I stand there not sure what to do, he looks so real. But it can't be him, he's gone. Shaking my head I walk up to the couch and stare at Macaque for a bit
"Take a picture it'll last longer" he says startling me
"Macaque...? " I reach out to him grabbing his cheek and caressing it "is that really you..? " he smiles at me pulling me into a hug "the one and only how have you been syren? "
