@clicktogether asked: " let me get this straight -- you had the option to rid us of sun wukong for all eternity... and you chose to keep him ? " sheng looks almost dumbfounded. like mk made an incorrect choice. still, a moment goes past before a hand is placed on mk's shoulders. " thank you. for stopping him from making a poorly thought decision. and thank you... for coming back. "

▬▬▬ ☁      There isn't much for MK to say. The entire ordeal was just another piece of trauma for him to add to the pile, and he was exhausted. But he hears Sheng out, unsure of where this was going. It took him by surprise when he was thanked and that was written all over his face. Despite the way he tensed up at the contact, he didn't move.

                              ❝ I couldn't let him leave you guys behind.. Not after everything you've all been through. ❞

                              MK's life was much more expendable. Not that he would say that out loud. He knew what everyone would say about it. There was no need to fuss over him. He'd sacrifice himself again if it meant the safety of the people he cared about.

                              A beat of silence before MK actually meets Sheng's eyes. He has no good way to respond past that statement, but it means a lot to know the other one cares.

you mean a lot to me. i hope you know that. / from mei ! / @clicktogether

▬▬▬ ☁      Without a doubt, Mei was MK's best friend. He would do just about anything for her. He should be able to talk to her about anything && yet. He remained silent. About everything. But that wasn't just toward her. Still, he was doing it because of how much he cared. No need to worry everyone he loved! He'd be alright. Looking up && smiling at her, MK nodded.

                              ❝ Yeah, I know, Mei. You mean a lot to me too! ❞

@clicktogether SAID: ❝ red son ! ❞ mei exclaims a little too loudly as she makes her way to the red boy faster than he process the situation. before he can blink, she was in front of him, wrapping her arms around him, nearly picking him up with happiness and relief, ❝ we got you back ! you don’t know how happy i am to see you again ! ❞

Unnngh… his head is throbbing, his insides feel like they're on FIRE ( and in the worst way ). That's Red Son's main thought process as he reaches a plane of normalcy, something to which he's slow on the uptake when Mei's voice reaches him. For a minute or two, he didn't seem to recognize she was even there… because it's all so far-fetched. Why would she come for him? Why would ANYONE come for him…? A worthless son pretending to be this all-powerful force he's not… and a monster, nonethless. Then her arms wrap around him, and he stiffens, find placeholder in reality again. She's real… she's… here. He'd thought this another forsaken nightmare, TO REMIND HIM OF HIS WEAKNESS TO RIP HER AWAY AGAIN. But… the flame is doused. It's over. Right?

He feels so pathetic in her grip, but he's barely recovering strength, let alone that to fend off her affections or yell obscenities.

❝ D-Dragon girl…? ❞

   @clicktogether​ foretold :  this isn't a family , it's a repressive regime . / sheng to his mother ( @/clicktogether )

   ❝ i thought i had made it clear, before : ❞  She begins, looking over mid-paint as she held a small statue in her hands.  ❝ we agree to disagree. ❞

         There is no malice, nor is there an implication of a lecture being hurled towards Sheng, though her grip on her paintbrush is visibly tightened.  

         Iron Fan knows why her son may think that, and he also knows why she thinks the opposite ; there is no doubt in her mind that it likely has something to do with his views of his father.  Or, as he often reminded her  --  sometimes joined by Red Son  --  the lack of the simian to call a father figure.  Raven-haired beauty remembers those years too well, along with the Monkey King’s fear of his heir during the few times he would visit his wife ; and Sheng likely witnessed the shift in the atmosphere more times than she likely knows...

         Former celestial also remembers how long it took him to find himself in her good graces again, nearly rivaling the period of time it took to finally win her favor, where she separated herself from the ashes of her marriage with the Demon Bull King.  Iron Fan doesn’t want to be angry for so long again, not after stewing on her well-concealed rage after so many years in that excuse of a relationship.

         Setting the statue and paintbrush to the side, she turns to give Sheng her full attention, poised and prepared for the confrontation of her second-eldest.

   ❝ what brought this up again, Sheng ? ❞

@clicktogether asked: ❛  have you considered trying something else?  ❜ / from sheng !

                              ❝ hAvE yOu CoNsIdErEd TrYiNg SoMeThiNg ElSe? THAT'S WHAT YOU SOUND LIKE! ❞

[newdleboy]

@clicktogether asked: ❛ they say you’re gifted, well i just see a scared kid.  ❜ / from sheng !!

▬▬▬ ☁      Alright, enough was enough. Ever since day one, Sheng had been awful to MK. It felt different than the way the rest of Monkey King's kids were toward him. They teased him, sure. But he never felt like they ever truly hated him. It wasn't like MK even asked for any of this -- Not that he wasn't enjoying this new adventure in his life, either. He just didn't understand why Monkey King's oldest hated him so much!

                              ❝ What is your problem?! I didn't do anything to you! You're so mean all the time && I just - What could I have possibly done to make you hate me so much? C'mon, Sheng! Tell me, I'd love to know! ❞

                              That was more harsh than MK intended the question to come off, but there was no going back now!

" On second thought... Lets form a blood pact. I bet Monkey King won't be able to handle it. " don't ask why he's disguised he doesn't know either.

@clicktogether asked: ❝ are you serious, mk ?! ❞ mei speaks, holing his wrist to expose the command seals on his hand. with a groan, she drops the wrist before putting hands on her hips, ❝ do you have ANY idea what you’re getting yourself into ? ❞ she says in a hushed whisper, thankful that her servant isn’t around, ❝ you need to leave this war NOW. ❞

▬▬▬ ☁      MK shrugged at Mei, his expression still almost stunned by everything that had happened just the previous night. He almost died! Or did die. He didn't really know. But whoever did it had come to finish the job. But he'd been fortunate enough that he'd been saved. Now he had this.. servant? But no clue what he was doing!

                              ❝ No! I really don't know what I just got dragged into! That's my problem! I don't even know how to leave! What is going ON, Mei? ❞

@clicktogether said: the young macaque looks almost nervous to be talking to his older self -- but he's excited to be given this opportunity. ❝ what about wukong ? do we still fight together? ❞ he asks, really hoping the answer is yes. i hear his voice from the past, when there was still a future.

He wishes this was some kind of sick joke. That, he would have been better equipped to deal with. But no. It very much was a younger version of himself standing in front of him. Talking to him. Asking him questions. Asking about his future. Their future. Hah. This Macaque hailed from before! Oh. You have two working eyes. Aren't you lucky? Does he take it for himself? Or scream at the younger Macaque to run away and never look back?

He remains frozen in place like a statue, paralyzed by memory. A stark contrast to his younger self's excited inquiring about his yet-to-be discovered future. He wants to laugh at that question. He wants to laugh and laugh and laugh. And maybe then cry. Because the dramatic irony would be delicious in any other circumstance.

" ......... " The older Macaque is silent, staring unblinking at the other. He knows those eyes. They are hopeless. So hopeless. Hopeless because they are so full of hope. You doomed thing. His voice is low, almost robotic. Strange for someone who was usually so expressive. " ... You're gonna love him until the day you die. "

❝ wait, you weren't supposed to... ❞ dark eyes blink as sheng is staring at the kid with the staff in his hands. there's a confused look as his gaze goes back and forth between mk and the place where the weapon once stood. ❝ how did you --  ❞ / @clicktogether​ 

▬▬▬ ☁      Honestly, this probably wasn’t  a  good  idea.  There  was  no  way  he  was  actually  gonna  be  able  to  lift  the  Monkey  King’s  legendary  staff.  No  one  could.  That  was  the  whole  entire  point!  Still,  he  was  going  to  try.  He  couldn’t  help  it -  having  been  goaded  into  this.  Mentally  preparing  to  make  a  fool  of  himself,  MK  stepped  up  to  where  the  staff  was ---  on  a  side  note,  THIS  WAS  SO  COOL!!!!  --  but  then  the  staff  ....  moved?  No  way,  this  couldn’t  be  real.  Of  all  people...  Did  he  just  remove  the  staff?? 

                             ❝  Uhhhh.. oops? That... was definitely not supposed to happen-  ❞

[newdleboya]

❝ no, don't ! ❞ mei says as her jacket is stuck on the hook. hands wave the other off as she noticed something approaching them in the distance. it was too risky -- and this was her first time on the hook for the moment. ❝ get out of here, mk ! i'll be okay for the time being, but you need to go ! ❞ / for u know what / @clicktogether​ 

▬▬▬ ☁      When he realized Mei  was  being  hooked,  of  course  he  was  going  to  help!  He  couldn’t  leave  her  behind  -  they  had  to  stick  together.  But  she  was  telling  him  not  to.  Maybe  he  probably  shoulda  listened,  but  that  wasn’t  how  he  did  things!  Despite  her  warning,  he  dashed  forward,  reaching  for  Mei  to  get  her  off  the  hook.  Good,  he’d  done  it.  However,  when  he  turned  around,  he  was  face  to  face  with  the  killer.  Letting  out  a  surprised  shout,  he  started  to  run.  

                             ❝  DON’T WORRY ABOUT ME, MEI! I GOT THIS!  ❞

@clicktogether SAID: ❛ how about a kiss before i go? ❜ / from mei ! :3c

❝ A kiss? ❞ the fire demon scoffs lightly, looking over to her with a mock expression of incredulity. My, my, she's asking a LOT from him, isn't she? Tucking his hands into his pockets, he leans against the wall, eyes darting elsewhere as he THINKS about it. Many time ago, he would have lit up like a firework, spouted disgruntled cries of disgust. But UNFORTUNATELY, he's gotten used to her -- though even that throws him off sometimes… Red Son simply can't fathom she's gotten past friendship level one ( and even he didn't think that existed! ). ❝ We're very demanding today, aren't we? ❞
