Enemies to Lovers They Say Pt.2

Part 1   Part 2   Part 3  Part 4  Part 5  Part 6

It was another misty day in the city. Fog and steam covered the windows with thousands of tiny droplets. The air was moist, and plants were full of growing life. As flower buds spread and crept around every corner color brimming from the hidden petals through the beautiful green of the buds. Neon lights shined brightly through the mist like twinkling fairies.

Red Son escaped in the dark blinded by the blanket of hanging droplets. As he ran a clear path grew in front of him the heat from his body evaporating the water quickly so the puddles he left behind boiled on the floor. His glasses were fogged and he couldn't see as he sprinted he tried to remember where he was, and where he was going. He simply went, and with no particular goal, he fled. A dark figure jumped and followed behind him, swift and graceful with each step taken.

Red ducked into a close by alleyway and held his breath as he flattened himself to the wall. Covering his mouth he watched the figure dash past him and disappear into the haze. Carefully the demon poked his head around the corner and saw the neon sign. He didn't know why he ran here, why it was his instinct too but there he was. At the home of the monkey king, the home of his love. He knew he couldn't go back out and try to go home. He knew if he teleported they would see the flames and try to follow him. He knew how embarrassing this was going to be. All the less, he stepped out and entered the growing shop.

When he walked in he was greeted by a tremendous round of aromas. Steak, ramen, chicken, green onions, spices, salty, sweet, and everything in between. He was enticed by the glorious smells and it made him remember that he hadn't eaten yet. He sat down on one of the bar stools and waited to be served. It was an oddly peaceful feeling after being chased, to sit down and enjoy a meal; But Red Son didn't truly mind it at all. As he took out his wallet a familiar face walked up to him.

"What would you like to order?" It was that of Mei. She smiled her hair the same as all those years ago. She wore a yellow apron and a black name tag on her chest with pride pins opposite to it.

"The spiciest noodles you have please," He replied hiding his face behind a menu. Ashamed that he was here, Mei shrugged at the order and went back to the kitchen. The redhead sighed, glad that the dragoness hadn't noticed him. He looked around the shop, it was bigger than before that was for certain. He noticed that a far wall to his right was well decorated with plants but also a staircase. A small white wooden sign hung next to it. 'residents and guests only' read in a bold black font.

Red wondered what would happen if he tried to see if MK was in his room, he didn't feel like testing it, but it was a thought. Red son relaxed and rested his head in his palm yawning. The shop was such an odd contrast to the world outside. Peaceful and slow it was a pocket from the outside world of the city's never-ending work.

Mei had returned shortly with Reds food in hand. She placed the bowl down and took a good look at her customer.

"No way! Red Boy?! Long time no see!" She exclaimed cheerfully smiling at him. Mei was taller than before her bangs parting because of her small horns that protrude from her skin like Red Son. Red gave her a small smile before taking his bowl of warm handcrafted noodles and passing her his card.  

"What brings you here?" the dragoness persists in her futile attempt to start a conversation. He ignores her and eats his noodles. The burning hot of the spices danced on his tongue the flavors bursting with a salty passion. She noted his unwantedness to talk but determined through curiosity she continues.

"You seem tired," She says. Red Son looked up at her, not quite in the mood for a conversation.

"I was chased here." He explained in a monotone voice. His head was looking down at the noodles in his bowl. Red had his hair down, it was shorter than it used to be ending near the shoulders rather than the back swirls of orange and yellow patterned it and today he wore a long-sleeved plaid red blazer. His sleeves were folded up and his arm up to his wrist was open to the air. Reds wrists were covered in scattered small band-aids ranging from purple to red.

Mei was shocked for a moment but soon understood that he wanted to be left alone, She went to tend to another customer. Red left out a sigh of relief and went back to enjoying his meal. As he finished and was getting up to move to a back table MK climbed down the steps. The two boys looked at each other for a moment. MK was wearing his hair up in his signature style, he had a simple white button-up and red pants on. Reds' heart paced in his chest at the sight of the monkey boy.

MK and Red locked eyes for a long while, MK just standing at the staircase entryway watching Red from his seat. MK Was quite happy that Red was there having not seen the demon in a while and wanted to catch up. They smiled breaking the staring and walked over to Red son as the demon looked away.

"Hey Red, haven't seen you in a few weeks, how are you?" MK asks taking a seat next to him and examining Reds' face adoringly. Red son blushed the red dusting his soft cheeks.

"I'm fine," The demon responded looking away from MK. The monkey boy not at all planning to leave anytime soon hums and calls Mei to get him his usual bowl.

"You've been up to anything?"MK asks. Red doesn't really know why the simian was bothering to talk to him. He and Red hadn't seen each other in years and now he's trying to act like they've been friends for years. Not that Red Son minded he just found it, odd.

"Just gardening with mother for the most part," Red replied trying to open up even if it was just the slightest. MK's face brightened at the opportunity of a conversation.

"What kind of stuff do you grow?" the monkey boy questioned.

"Fruits vegetables and a few species, but mainly flowers," Red explained counting them off in his head. MK was so handsome he couldn't focus. One of the biggest changes over the years was his face and the fact that now, the noodle boy had a tail. It waved from one side to the other as MK talked.

"That's cool! Do you like helping out? It sounds like a lot of work but it must be super rewarding once you get to eat it." The noodle boy ranted, his tail tip flicking from side to side.

Red Son nodded, "Yeah, it's sort of me and my mother's thing when my father is busy but we all do it together ever so often." the bull explained starting to perk up from the fears of the outside.

"That's so cool! I bet your garden looks beautiful!" MK exclaimed happily, smiling and tilting his head to the side.

Red son huffed a sigh, tensing back up at the compliment. He turned away from MK's smile which shined like the sun. He was going to reply when the door burst open with a slam that shook the room and cracked the wall. Mei rushed over to see what happened with Pigsy trailing behind her. And there he was, a man in all black a mask covering the bottom half of his face. But there was no need to see it, for Red knew exactly who he was.

It was his killer, the one who would lead to his death.

[smokeypeaches-and-honeyplums]

may I request headcanons for Wukong, MK, Red Son, and Macaque finding out their crush or S/O has a snort laugh that they try to hide?

please and thank you

PLEASE?????????????? GOD I HAVE A SNORT LAUGH TOO AND THIS FEELS SO PERSONAL I'M GONNA BLOW UP

Reader is Gender Neutral by default

MK

S/O

MK absolutely LOVES to make people laugh and you are no different

So when he finds out you have a snort laugh, he REVELS in it

To him, it's a sign that he's doing a really good job and! It's really fucking adorable for him

If you're self conscious about it, he won't push you too much about it

He'd never want you to feel uncomfortable while you're with him, so he'll never push further than he's allowed

He'll always express how much he loves it when he gets the chance to though, don't get me wrong

Eventually, it gets to the point he develops his own and it's a never ending cycle between you two

It feels nice to have a bit more of a positive about your snort, but it does hurt after a while--

MK gets worse when he purposefully does what he knows makes you laugh the most

Your nose and throat hurts by the end of it

If you're laughing especially hard, he'll be grinning ear to ear at just the sound of it

He's glad to have ONE consistency in his life, what with everything that goes on

So if he can listen to your laugh before the next crisis, that's enough for him

(THEY TOOK MY YELLOW TEXT--)

Crush

(darkskinredsontruthertilIdie)

You so happened to slip up one day when Redson heard it the first time around, immediately trying to hide it right after

He didn't think much of it, not in the way you'd think at least

He always associated it as another irritating staple that he loves so much about you and infuriates him that it is

Like, excuse me

How dare you have the most charming, cute and cheeky laugh he's ever heard?

A peasant like you shouldn't be making his heart soar so much and so easily all the damn time

What the fuck >:(

Redson wouldn't trying to fish for it as much as the others, his pride prevents him

But he does savour the moments you do do it, don't get me wrong

However, when he sees you hide it every time right after, a part of him wants to try and ease your worries. At least, that's what he thinks

"You know... you shouldn't feel like you should hide your laugh."

"For all the annoying little quirks you have, this one is..."

"It's... endearing."

Silence.

Silence...

"Redson? Are you going soft on me?"

"NO! No- Do not-"

"D'awwww, you care!!"

"Redson cares for me!!"

"Know what?! Forget I said anything."

Cue the laughter, only this time with a bit more snorting given his reassurance in his own special, Redson way

In your fits of laughter, you miss a small smile growing on the demon prince's lips

In all your teasing, it's worth it to see you like this

Crush

Wukong has a tendency to be cheeky to the tenth degree and then some

So trust and believe he already knows

And he REVELS in it

He likes the sound of your laugh in general, so the fact he manages to get you laughing so much that you start snorting makes his heart do flips

He doesn't like that you try to hide it, but he'd be the last person to talk about not hiding something you're self conscious about

Given the whole shared headcanon of glamour, it becomes pot and kettle

Has that ever stopped him tho?

No

So why would it now?

He tries to get you to feel more comfortable with your laugh because he finds it very important to him

Is it another reason amongst a sea on why he loves you?

Yeah

Will he admit it?

No-

Well?

Not now-

Ahem

Anyways, when he hears your genuine laughter, he's shining like the sun and absolutely BEAMING with joy and whines when you hide it

"NONONO, don't hide it! I love your laugh!"

"Don't hide it please :("

Pulls out the big guns (puppy dog eyes) just to make you agree

"Fine"

Happy Monkey <3

Of course, he genuinely does try to make sure you're comfortable about it and reassures you in his own Monkey King way, so don't be too worried.

S/O

Like Wukong, Macaque is the last person to tell you not to hide something, the scoundrel

Motherfucker is hiding EVERYTHING

Smoke and Mirrors the character™

But, that has never stopped him before

With that established, given how all doom and gloom this brooding monkey is, he finds solace in your laughter, and he's picked up on your snorting even when you try to hide it

He hears all

But, unlike the others, he won't push you or try to convince you to reveal something you don't feel like revealing

He would know how that feels personally

And if Macaque is anything at all, he's self aware. enough

He'll let you get comfortable laughing in front of him to your fullest at your own time, while giving you quiet reassurance now and again

Once you're sure he won't judge you for it and you're fully comfortable, your laughter makes him the warmest he's felt in so long

Who would've thought? The Six-Eared Macaque has a heart!/j
