#MK's Perspective MQR

[that-guy-sleepy-miles]

We've seen the list of things Redson isn't allowed to do, but what about a list of things he IS still allowed to do (if there are any, which I'm guessing there either isn't, or there are a few but he's only allowed to do so when supervised)

Oh, wow, this is a new question. Hm... I've never really thought about this in depth before now, but I've written down a few things that MK would think about. He would be very confused about you asking what his partner is 'allowed' to do and say Red's allowed to do whatever he wants, but if you convinced him to answer the question...

Oh, also, this is written in code. Have fun! Trigger warning for forced affection and implied domestic violence.

Red is encouraged to give affection to MK! (And to It. It doesn't have any care for the affection itself, but It likes feeling in control.) MK loves kisses from his partner, even if they're the chaste, little ones that his wife gives him after one of his days when he's stuck in his head. He's fighting so hard against The Curse he's barely keeping Red safe from it. Honestly, those chaste kisses are a blessing on those days. A reminder of how lucky he is that Red is staying by his side. It must be so scary, when he gets lost in his head. Does he just go blank entirely?

Red is allowed (barely) to keep flowers! He loves flowers, but they have to be fake. He'll cry if they're real, but MK's forgotten that. He has what seems to be a million vases full of fake flowers, they line every hall of the castle. Red loves them so much, so MK... MK doesn't like it, but he knows Red cares about it an awful lot so he designated an entire room of the castle to be the flower room! Anything for his partner.

Red is allowed to tend to his own wounds. Red is so silly sometimes, and he breaks his vases on his own and hurts himself, which makes MK panic and feel awful and want to throw up, so Red patches himself up. MK doesn't even have to ask or see or know, which is really nice of Red. MK feels awful, not being able to comfort him, but he knows Red would come to him if he needed it, because he does. His wife loves him forever, always, right next to him.

Red is allowed to spent time next to MK. Usually he's just sitting there while MK's doing something which is a bit weird, but MK doesn't... MK doesn't question it because it's perfectly normal. That's just how Red and him are, other people wouldn't get it. MK still draws, he loves it, and Red sits and watches. Red brushes his hair with his dainty fingers, because he won't touch his comb anymore (and that's good), while MK works on a sketch. As they settled into marriage—what a thought, HE married RED SON—he'd learned Red was far quieter than he had any right to be. He's quiet, meek even, and it unsettles MK a fair bit. And he'll be sat there, in his absolute silence, until a voice (that's still too loud) says "Your art keeps getting better, N- My Love. How do you do it?"

Red is encouraged to go to MK for comfort. MK notices that Red does this once every couple of months, and when he does this he does it for weeks at a time. It's nice. Night after night, curled up with his partner, soothing whatever worries he has. MK couldn't know what worries he has, Red never tells him, and Red doesn't have any royal duties, MK doesn't think, but he knows it's (not important) all he can do to hold Red and cuddle against him until he feels better. Sometimes MK asks and Red starts to tell him, but then Red remembers his place and shuts his mouth.

I've got two quick questions about your Monkey Queen Red AU.

1. Why Mk doesn't like that Red loves his fake flowers?

2. Which one(Mk or It) is happy that Red doesn't touch his comb anymore, and why?

MK doesn't like it... MK doesn't like it... wait when did MK say that? That really doesn't sound like him! And he'd know if he said something.

(It is quite happy Red doesn't touch his comb, because it means It was right. Red Son is weak.)
