The bright sun shone through the window, waking up Wukong. As he slowly opened his eyes, feeling confused, he realized there was a bit of weight on him. Looking down, he saw Macaque on top of him, sleeping soundly. Wukong's heart skipped a beat as he recalled what had happened the night before. He covered his face, feeling embarrassed, and a bit of regret washed over him.

"Did you have a good sleep?" It was Macaque, who had been awake for a while now. He looked up at Wukong to see his red face and grin. "Okay, get off now," Wukong said when he saw the grin. "But you seem to have enjoyed our cuddle time from last night, though?" Wukong wanted to hit his stupid face, but it was true.

Macaque and Wukong turned their heads to where the voice came from. It was Rumble and Savage standing there. Macaque laughed as he looked at his little babies making fun of them. Wukong stared at the dark fur monkey as he laughed happily. Wukong smiled, seeing Macaque laugh. He missed it dearly. As Wukong continued to admire Macaque in secret, he noticed the bandage was gone. He was about to ask about it, but then Macaque's expression quickly changed. Wukong raised an eyebrow, confused about the sudden change in Macaque's demeanor. Macaque got up, and the two shadow monkeys jumped on his back.

"You're successor here," Macaque said, feeling a bit annoyed that his time with Wukong had ended so soon. He dropped into his shadow and rose back up with new clothes. Wukong remembered that he was going to train with Mk that day and hurried to get ready. By the time Wukong came out, Macaque was gone, nowhere to be seen.

Knock Knock. Wukong had no time to think about Macaque now, and he rushed to the door and opened it. "OH MONKEY KING, ARE YOU OK?" Mk rushed toward Wukong's side to make sure nothing had happened. "Woah woah, I'm fine bud. Why?" Wukong said as he calmed Mk down.

"Well, yesterday--" Before Mk could continue, he saw a shadow figure behind Wukong. It was Macaque. He had a finger over his mouth and was glaring at Mk, signaling him to keep quiet about the visit from last night. And so he did.

"Hmm?" Wukong was curious about what might have happened. "Well, uh, yesterday I thought Macaque might have hurt you." It was true; Mk was worried something might have happened after they left.

"Awww, thanks for caring, bud, but don't worry I'm the Monkey King!" Wukong said as he put his arm around Mk. Soon they headed off to train. A couple of hours later, Mk was sweating and panting, throwing punches at each other. Mk sat down on the floor, trying to catch his breath. Wukong walked over to him as the little monkeys brought water and peaches for them. "Thank you, buddies," Mk said as he took the water and chugged it down.

"Not bad, kid. You're definitely improving. Look at you, taking after your mentor. I'm so proud of myself," Wukong said, pretending to wipe away tears. They both laughed and sat next to each other looking down at the city. "Monkey King?" Mk asked, breaking the silence. "Yea bud?" "About you and Macaque, are you ok with him like this?" "Yea, to be honest, I think it's better if he was like this." Wukong said chuckling as he lay on his back. Mk sighed. "Before all of the amnesia part, have you ever missed his company or just him personally?" Wukong would be lying if he said he didn't. He does really much, his cuddles, smiles, or laughter, how Macaque was always there for him through all the hard time. But he was just too afraid to actually apologize to Macaque thinking he might not forgive him for betraying him and never fulfilling the promised. "I guess having him around wasn't that bad..." Wukong said, closing his eyes. Mk felt bad for his mentor, not wanting it a secret anymore he blurted, "Macaque came to see me last night." Wukong's eyes sprung open, and he sat up. "What..." Wukong's eyes widened as he glared at Mk. Mk chuckled, feeling a bit awkward. "Explain, bud." Wukong said in a demanding voice. "Well, you see.."

"So yea." Mk rubbed the back of his neck, looking down at his feet. Mk heard a sigh and looked up to see his mentor. Instead of being upset, he smiled at him, "It was my fault, I should have known, he had six ears after all." Wukong said, patting Mk on the head. "That's why I'm so special". A chuckle came from behind them. Mk and Wukong turned their heads and saw Macaque standing behind them eating a banana. "Macaque-" "ahh ya kid you just can't keep that little mouth of your shut. Whatever so now you know Peach, I decided not to get involved with your relationship problem with my future self. Macaque finished his banana and threw it in the portal, then crossing his arm. "But anyways I found these fuckers roaming around the mountain looking for something." The two shadow monkeys Rumble and Savage appeared behind Macaque and threw the three demons on the floor. "ARGH, LET US GO." D1 yelled. "Oh shut up." Macaque glanced at him. D2 whispered to D3. "I told you we should not have come back." "Well, I thought you took care of everything after you decided to throw shit at that black monkey." Cough cough. "I can hear you dumbass. Whatever, you two can take care of them, I'm leaving." Before Macaque and his little shadow monkey left, Wukong called out to him. "Macaque!" Macaque paused and told the two shadow monkeys to go ahead first, then turning around. "Yesss Peach?" "I want to talk to you about the things you heard." Macaque sighed and gave Wukong a smile, "Peach, if you're gonna apologize, you shouldn't be telling me that. I'm not the Macaque that you killed; you should be apologizing to the "Macaque" that you backstabbed, or more like eye-stabbed, but oh well, no difference." Wukong looked away; Macaque wasn't wrong. He wasn't the one that got eye-stabbed, at least not yet. Macaque left after that. Now it was just Wukong, Mk, and the three demons. Wukong turn to stared at one of the demon, "Explain what the hell you guys mean by, "I thought you took care of everything after you decided to throw shit at that black monkey." Silence in the air as Wukong walk closer to them. "I don't recommend lying to this guy by the way." Mk said popping his head out behind Wukong.

(I apologize for the delay, I was busy and felt a bit sick the past following days and I was planning on writing more and fix some stuff that might not make sense but that would had taken a few more days so I just rush it😭)
