It's been a month since that 'wild adventure', as Mk called it, had happened. Y/ns foot was nearly healed, and after the first few days, Mk had brought him a crutch to use to walk around. But he didn't do much of that since Mk didn't want him to.

Tye first few weeks, Mk would bring him an order of noodles, all paid for by Mk, as promised. And when Y/n would be eating, Mk would sit on the couch with him, talking about his weird adventures that would occur with him trying to figure out how to use his 'mystic monkey' powers. Y/n found the weird stories a little entertaining. He had to admit.

Mk told him about how he made so many clones and nearly went bald because of it. Then he told him about how everything went all crazy and everyone was weirdly perfect, which Y/n didn't understand, but nodded along, slurping on noodles. Then, he told him about Meis family and the dragon sword. And about the Spider queen and Y/n found it amusing that Mk was so afraid of tiny little spiders, but he didn't say that.

Mk told him something each time he came over, and every day, Y/n found himself not minding the company. Mks stories were ridiculous, sure, but Mk was so excited each time he came over, chatting his mind off. And Y/n, though he wouldn't say it, was happy to listen.

It's been about five weeks, and Y/ns foot had about two more weeks to heal. Mk was in his house now, sitting beside him as they watched a show about Monkey King on Y/ns TV. It was a weird thing they would do since Mk wanted to tell Y/n more about Monkey King and who he was, and Y/n got confused by each small story Mk would tell him, but he would listen, not wanting to dwindle that fire in Mks eyes.

Right now, Y/n had a bowl of noodles in his lap as Mk ate his own, talking his mind off, not paying attention to the show at all.

"So then Meis mom made us some–" Mk cut himself off, pulling out his phone when Mei called him. Y/n slurped on his noodles, humming.

"Oh, hey Mei!" Mk greeted after hitting answer. Mei looked unamused.

"Where are you!? You're late with our meeting with the mayor! He's at your place right now!" Mei scolded, and Y/n raised a brow.

"Everyone is here but you, Mk!" Pigsys voice cut in.

"The mayor?" Y/n muttered. 

"Aw crap! I totally forgot! I was busy hanging out with Y/n again!" Mk panicked, "I'll be there in no time! Bye!" He hung up on Mei before she could scold him more. Mk scrambled up off of Y/ns couch, tossing off the blankets Y/n had handed him.

Y/n started to fold them back up as Mk put away his dishes and some of the snacks he pulled out of Y/ns cubbords.

"Why do you need to meet with the mayor?" Y/n asked, setting another folded blanket on the back of the couch. Mk turned to him, smiling, putting his thumb against his chest in pride.

"Because I'm the hero of the city! He's going to give me some sort of congratulations or a thank you or something." Mk shrugged, then he gasped.

"Do you want to come with? You haven't been out of your house yet! It'll be fun!" Mk said, holding Y/ns crutch out to him, smiling expectantly. Y/n hesitated for a moment, but Mk was right. It would probably be best to get out of his house and out of the den he created on his couch.
