A Journey that change's everything

Ch 21: Shower (part 1/2)

MK'S POV: "WHAT!!! HOW- I UM-" I Couldn't muster up anything I was so embarrassed I couldn't even look at him in the eyes! "PFTT! HAHAHA DID YOU FORGET THAT I CAN HEAR EVERYTHING ON EARTH?!! HAHA!" Macaque laughed his ass off while my face became hotter and hotter as I looked at the floor, unable to make eye contact 'AH! I DID FORGET! OH MY CHELISTAL REALM THIS IS THE MOST EMBARRASSING THING EVER!' I thought as I glanced up at him. "Hehe sorry for laughing it's just this happens everytime I say I heard someone do something inappropriate or stupid and in this case it was you but you gotta admit that it was funny." Macaque joked, I grumbled in response. "Great now take me to another bathroom." I took a breath in and then out. "Okay just don't tell anyone about it okay?" I begged, Macaque smirked. "I wasn't planning to but okay sure. Now lead the way." I did as he told me and lead him to a bathroom "here it is-WOAH- What happened here?" There was pieces of glass on the floor because of the broken mirror and there was some blood on the floor as well. I looked at Macaque and he looked away looking nervous. "I-I um- good question but um... thanks for showing me the way." Macaque sputtered looking back at me. "If it will keep your mouth shut about what you heard then no problem. Also what is that? Did you do it?" I asked pointing to the tub that had some bubbles spilling out. "Yeah that was me I just didn't remember where this bathroom was." I walked up to the tub and scrunched my nose. "What's up with the strong lavender scent?" I mentioned as I turned around, away from the lavender scented tub and blushed Madly "W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!" "I'm dressing him?-Oh." Macaque gave me an evil smirk. "What? Can't handle seeing Redson shirtless~" Macaque teased, letting out a chuckle. "WAH- N-NO!... BUT-I'LL-BE-ON-MY-WAY-BYE" I yelled quickly. I ran out of the room and slammed the door behind me. I felt my face burn more at the images of him. "Omg omg omg OMG OMG OMG AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!"

MACAQUES POV: Mk slammed the door causing Redson to wake up "ngh.... Macaque?" He blinked harshly, rubbing his eyes. "Hey Redson your mother asked me to give you a bath." Redson flinched at the name mother but I pretend to ignore it. Redson looked around his surroundings as I turned around, looking away from him. "Once your fully unclothed and ready step into the tub." I started "I hope you were okay with the fact that I took off your shirt." I said, making some shampoo appear out of my shadow portal. "Oh yeah... I'm fine with that I trust you. You've given me shower's before no worries." I heard him remove his clothing as he I think folded it neatly, placing it one the counter. Then he removed something else that I have no idea what it could be, maybe it was the wrap around his wound 'hmh I wonder how it's going.' I thought as I heard him entered the tub. "You can look now." Redson stated. I turned around and tried not to look at any of his bruises or scars that were littered all over his body but I failed miserably. I gave a small awkward smile and walked forward opening the bottle of mango scented shampoo. Redson looked at it curiously. "What is that?" He asked. "Your mother didn't give me shampoo for you so I got the shampoo I used from my shadow portal." I said, removing his black rubber band from his hair as his red hair flowed down. I cupped water in my hands and dumped it over Redsons head. The fire demon yelped and I stopped and looked at him. "Hehe- sorry... continue." Red assured me. "No, no tell me is the water to cold? Do you want to change it? Did I hurt you an any way?" "No it's fine I'm just being complicated." Redson mumbled as I put the mango scented shampoo in his hair "Redson your hiding your emotions again. Remember I'm here for you, don't feel like your being a bother. Talk to me." Redson sighed causing some bubbles to fly everywhere. I just started scrubbing the shampoo in, waiting patiently. "Hey while your at it tell me, what's up with all of this blood? And are these... claw marks?" I moved one of my hands down to his back and touched one. "*sigh* My Mother did those and the reason I flinched was because if you don't remember I have a wound on my head because of you know... and this soap is stinging into my bruises. But it's okay I don't really mind." Redson promised. "Okay if you say so... just tell me if it gets worse okay?" Redson nodded and stayed silent. I moved both of my hands back up to head and started scrubbing his hair properly. "Heh your filthy Red." I joked as I lifted his arm. "How in the buddha did you get this one?" I pointed to a almost new looking scar. "I...um I did that one." Redson admitted, he looked unesay. I nodded in acknowledging. "You know... I have a lot of scars to?" Redson looked at me surprised. "Really?" "Yeah! It's just that my glamor hides them" Redson smiled "that's nice to know." He looked less tense with that new fact about me. I finish scrubbing his upper body and got up wiping my hands. "You can do the other half right?" I asked "oh- yeah." He mumbled. I was about to leave when Redson stopped me. "W-wait can you scrub my head again?" I immediately turned around and gave him a small reassuring smile. "Okay Red." I grabbed the shampoo bottle out of my shadow portal and walked up to Redson. I squirted a good amount of shampoo in his hair once again. "Mhm this is nice..." Redson mumbled, he started to lean into my hands. He looked so tired and calm at the same time. It was a nice calming quietness before I broke it. "So do you like Mk?" I asked looking at him. "I-I don't know... you know what he did to me and you know how it feels to be left behind-" I growled at the memory. "So you tell me do you love Wukong?" Redson closed his eyes and let his head rest in my hands. I froze 'do I love him? He hurt me- but we were getting along to...' I looked at Redson. "Okay smart guy way to play it... Redson?" He had fallen asleep- how do I know this? He had become lighter and his breath had slowed down "Man kid you fall asleep really quick." I continued to scrub his long, wavy red hair until all the shampoo was out of it. While doing so, half way through when I was about to find he started crying? "He must be having a bad dream..." I started to rinse the remaining soap out of his hair but he started twitching and shaking, looking frantic. "Redson?"
