My Brother Is The Monkey King! (discontinued)

Changing routines

When dawn came, Wukong found the other half of the bed empty, and he started to panic slightly that Mk wasn't there, but then he calmed down only slightly when he heard him through the wall of the room. After hearing the younger monkey, he jumped out of bed and rushed to where he heard the sound originate from.

After following the little voice, he ended up in the living room, to which he saw Mk sitting on the couch with 5 monkeys surrounding him, asking him questions on what happened the day before. Mk tried to answer as many of the questions as he could, but he then got distracted when he noticed his brother standing in the doorway. After seeing him, he waved at him, saying, "Hi Wu. How'd you sleep?" Wukong just walked further into the room and sat next to Mk on the couch, then replying, "Hey bud, and how do you think I slept after what happened yesterday?"

Mk shrunk a bit, realising he was the cause of that, and then he looked away guiltily before saying, "I'm sorry." Wukong was surprised at this then asked, "Why are you sorry. I should be saying sorry that I didn't find you sooner." Mk then looked at him with tears starting to prick his eyes as he said, "No, it's my fault I left the cave whilst you went out, and if I had dried off more before going then I wouldn't have left a trail for them to follow." The tears were now falling down his face as he brought his knees up and buried his face into them, trying to hide.

Wukong now understands why he is upset, slung, and arms around Mk's shoulder, then pulls him into a hug to which Mk melts into, and now the tears start streaming down his face like a dam has finally burst. Wukong uses his free hand to brush through Mk's hair in a comforting way, then resting his head on top of his brothers and making him feel safe and protected. They worked as not long after Mk's tears tapered down to little sniffs and sobs, and he caught his breath and calmed down.

When Mk had fully calmed down, he went to pull away but was stopped as Wukong wouldn't release his grips on Mk, and he tightened it slightly like he didn't want him to leave yet. Mk loved it when he got affection from his brother, but he was also hungry and wanted something to eat, so he huffed and tried to wriggle out of Wukongs grip with no success.

Wukong then held him there for about 5 minutes before he heard Mk's stomach rumble then followed by his own doing the same. So as to not break them up just yet, he asked Mk what he wanted to eat, which Mk replied with a bright smile, "I want peaches. A whole bowl full of them." Wukong smiled softly at his brother, then with his free arm, he put his hand under Mk's legs, and then with the arm around his back, he picked him up with ease.

Mk tried to squirm out of his brothers grip and protesting, "I can walk, you know. Let me walk, it's only to the kitchen." But Wukong wouldn't listen and instead just nuzzled Mk's cheek and took him to the kitchen where he placed Mk on the countertop.

Mk was confused by this, and now that he was free from his brothers grasp he tried to jump down and escape, but when he jumped, he then noticed a tail was wrapped around his waist that stopped him from hitting the floor. The tail then placed him back on the counter, and he then crossed his arms and pouted at how his attempt had failed and how protective his brother had become.

He felt like it was a bit deserving after what happened yesterday, but he thought it wouldn't last too long, so he just had to wait it out and spending more time with his brother might not be a bad thing. Though as long as he let him do some stuff on his own and not just treat him like a baby until he felt safe enough to leave Mk alone for a bit, then all should be good.

Not long after having this thought, Wukong just finished grabbing the Peaches and cutting them up into small slices. He held Mk in his arms and the bowl in his his tail, and they went back into the living room, sat on the couch, turned the TV on, and ate Peaches for the whole morning. Mk noticed, however, when they sat down on the couch, Wukong had him sitting on his lap instead, and when he tried to get off, he held him with his tail. He thought he would just have to get used to this for a while, and so he just relaxed and continued to eat peaches and watch the new Monkey Cop movie.

After a while, however, he was getting tired, and even though it was only 1 in the afternoon, he felt like he hadn't slept in days. Maybe it was exhaustion from the day before? He didn't know why he was tired, but after a while, he could no longer fight it, and he lent into Wukong and soundly fell asleep.

After feeling Mk shift in his position, he looked down to find him falling asleep, and it brought a smile to his face that he felt safe, but the thought still lumed in his mind that he wasn't there when Mk needed him. Whether Mk left of his own accord or not, he should have been there to go with him. He should have been able to stop those demons from even getting close to Mk, never mind catching and tying him up.

He was brought out of his thoughts when Mk started to stir, and he thought that he had quite a small nap, but then he looked at the clock on the wall, and it said it was 5pm so Mk had been asleep and he had been in his own thoughts for 4 hours. After realising what time it was, he heard some chirping at the door and found 4 monkeys sitting at the door, waiting to be allowed to come in.

Wukong gave a soft smile and then nodded so they knew they could come in, and after seeing the sign, they ran in and climbed onto the vouch next to them so they could see Mk, who was just waking up.

When Mk fell asleep, he felt safe safe with his brother and thought about how he had defeated those demons so easily and how strong he was and as much as he loved his brother he also thought that he was a bit too overprotective at times. He knows he loves him and just wants him to be safe after what happened, but he also had to see that he was fine now and he could relax and give Mk some time to himself without being watched, cuddled or even just held in general.

He felt like he was being treated like a little kid. Technically, in human years, he was one, but in monkeys years, he was 24 as one human year was 3 years to a monkey, and he was 8. But he still felt like his brother thought he was weak and unable to defend himself, which he was after what happened, but he had never been in a situation like that before so he was just scared.

After a while, he slowly woke up to the sound of chirping, and when he woke up, he found he was still on his brothers lap, and 4 monkeys had joined and surrounded him and Wu. After seeing that, they were some of the monkeys from this morning, and he opened his arms, and each one jumped in to hug their prince. All the monkeys were just happy their prince was okay and not scared or traumatised by what happened the day before as those demon had been back before and tried to catch them, but there were a lot less of them than last time. However, Mk had never seen another demon outside of the monkeys who lived on the mountain, so it was a day he might not ever forget.

After seeing Mk was awake and hugging the monkeys, Wukong was happy that it hadn't really affected him much, but he still wanted to protect him as best he could so that could never come close to happening again. He also realised that he would need to train Mk to use his powers and to be able to fight hand to hand combat if he couldn't, but he as much as he wanted to keep him safe by himself he knew he Mk would want to be able to protect himself one day and Wukong might not be there to do it himself. So he decided that when he trusted himself more to be able to protect Mk, he would train him.

Also, he wanted to let this drag out a bit longer as he realised this morning that Mk had given in to his overprotection for the time being so he decided to use it as an excuse to get more cuddles from his sweet and adorably fluffy brother.

TO BE CONTINUED....

(I love this chapter. It's also a fun fact that I did search it up, and one year for a human is 3.2 monkey years, I just rounded it to 3, so it would be easier.

Hope you liked it and see you in the next chapter)
