My Celestial Roommate (Monkie Kid Fanfic)

Chapter 8

Mk, Mei and Ne zha stood outside of the aquarium  as they waited for Sandy to picke them up. The sun had barely started to set  many visitors had left already.

Ne zha stood by a light pole as Mk and Mei sat down on the curb.The lotus prince was somewhat tired from all the walking they had done, he had even gotten hungry. It had been a while since he felt his stomach rumble like this. Ne zha watched as Mk showed off the key chains he had bought. He gave a green one to Mei. The raven haired girl squealed at how pretty the chain was, taking a picture of it before putting it away in her pocket. Then the monkie kid got up and walked over to Ne zha.

"This one's for you!" Mk chirped as he offered a pink jellyfish to Ne zha. The brunette took the gift, he held the chain up. It glisten under the sun, created a hue of pink. "Thank you Mk." Ne zha smiled at monkie kid. Mk returned the smile and stood next to Ne zha. Mei join them, leaning into the light pole.

They stood in silence a while, listening to the crashing waves against the rocks. The noise made Ne zha a little drowsy. As well as nostalgic. He had sneaked off so many times to see his friend when he was younger. They talk about everything and nothing, played a couple of games and even slept together holing each other close.

"So what's the deal with you and my brother?" Mei questioned. Ne zha blinked at her pulling him away from the past, "what?" He squawked. The raven head girl just rolled her eyes at him. "You know what I mean, Mk asked you the same thing earlier."  She remarked.

"You're brother is a good friend."

"Dont give me that!" Mei huffed. "You two act all lovey dovey every time I see you two." She made a heart with her hands, and pursed her lips. Ne zha blushed.

"Isn't that how all friends act?" He stuttered. Both Mk and Mei looked at him. "Everything besides sitting on their lap." Mk retorted. The blunt answer caused Ne zha to choke on air. "T-thats not true! Some friends sit on each other's lap!" He declared.

"Yeah but not straddled to their lap! Would you like to see evidence." Mei puffed. She opened her phone and pushed the device to Ne zha.

It was slightly blurry, but you could see Ne zha sitting down and holding the railing behind him with one arm while the other arm was wrapped very tightly around a certain blue haired man's waist. While the latter wrapped both of his arms around Ne zha's neck and his legs wrapped around his legs. The lotus prince covered the others eyes, completely embarrassed. The monkie kid struggled to pry off the hand.  "Seriously!? I'm 23!" Mk protested.

"Okay I can see why that look bad." Ne zha admitted. "But thats because he kept slipping off!"

Mei groan, "Oh my gosh! You are in such denial!" She dragged her hands down her face. "Why are you acting so weird about the fact you have a crush on my brother!?"

"I don't-" he paused for a moment. Did he have a crush on Ao bing? Well, he is attractive. But that wouldn't be the main reason he'd like him. Ao bing was kind and cared about him a lot that he makes sure to eat. He always tries to make Ne zha feel comfortable, and sooths him. Even brushing his hair. He had a pretty smile too- whenever Ao bing looked at him, he'd always give him a gentle smile making his eyes shine a bit brighter. It made Ne zha feel warm. But he just assumed he felt this way because no one had cared about him in a long time.

"I think you broke him." Mk stated. Standing next to his best friend as they watch the lotus prince stand still with blank stare towards the ground. Mei shrugged and placed her hands on her hips. "Its not my fault he doesn't know his own feelings." She sighed. They looked back at Ne zha, standing perfectly still. Not even blinking.

"Should we do something?" Mk asked. Mei just waved it off. "Nah he'll snap out of it."

"Excuse me."
