As the sun began lowering towards the horizon, the sky turned a pinkish orange. Two silhouettes sitting on a cliff watched the sun beginning to set. 

A sigh coming from your right made you turn to look at the Monkey King, his relaxed expression staring blissfully at the sky made your smile curve further. The butterflies in your stomach fluttered as Wukong turned his gaze to catch yours. 

"Hm?" Wukong rose a brow as you looked away. 

"Nothing, nothing," You replied. "It's...just so nice up here." 

"Yeah, no wonder why Mk wanted you to come over so badly," Wukong chuckled as he leaned close enough for your shoulders to touch. "Why did it take so long to convince you to come? Scared of me or somethin'?" 

"No! Nothing like that, I just..." You felt a strange sensation on your cheeks as you leaned away from him. Your heart threatened to leap out of your chest as you fiddled with your fingers. "I get kind of nervous around you, I'll admit...but that's because you're so cool! And I...didn't want to bore you or anything...I mean, there's nothing interesting about me, I'm just-" 

Your shoulders slumped as you stared at your palms, "-regular ol'[Y/N], the human who hangs out with a bunch of powerful people." 

You yelped when you were grabbed and Wukong's head slammed against yours, "Hey, hey! None of that on this beautiful day! You gotta stop beating yourself down for silly things like that! You're plenty of fun to be around! Why else would these 'powerful' people hang out with a cutie like you?" 

"C-cute?" You whispered as your eyes widened. Wukong leaned back, almost a bit shocked at his own words as he sheepishly smiled, "Well, yeah! Anyway-...don't talk about yourself like that anymore, it does no one any good!" 

You settled the thump in your heart as you nodded, "Yeah...yeah! You're right!" 

"Always am," Wukong flipped his imaginary long hair. 

You laughed at the display before peeking over at the Monkey King once more. It had been a few weeks since you'd known him, actually got to know him through Mk and his pushy attitude for the two of you to meet. Ever since you met him, you've felt things you hadn't felt in a while. Though, the realization of these feelings terrified you to no end. I mean, confessing to the Monkey King? What kind of idiot would confess to someone as great as him? 

This fear is the reason why you kept your distance for a while. Your heart squeezed when Mk mentioned that his mentor missed you, which is why you were here now. 

 "Then...can I tell you something?" You spoke up. 

"Yeah, what's going on, bud?" Wukong glanced over at you with a raised brow.
