#wukong gets very excited about mac being there alot and it just slips out and mac never corrects him so everyone thinks theyre married

[yamiiwaii]

i also realized i actually gotta tell yall my world building that i dont plan on writing full fledged fics about so let me. actually do that AJCKSKCJ

so the thing with mac and wukong right is everything leading up to their big break up is the same in squashed apricots. what happens after is where things change. wukong kills mac and sends him into hell for a bit, mac stays there for as long as the journey is before hes brought back. (by who ?? i havent figured that out yet) mans is absolutely devastated and also rightfully full of rage and he spends a few years getting use to being alive again. he travels around causing mischief in an attempt to cope and also spends alot of that time training and trying to push the limits of his powers. this is where smokes (his kaiju) kinda starts playing a bigger role but i’ll elaborate on that some other time maybe.

after blowing off a bit of the bigger steam, mac goes to look for wukong to get revenge for leaving him and betraying him. he finds him, it wasnt hard ajcksk, and he torments the king constantly. (he like, shows up to ffm to pick fights with wukong or to start arguments but he never actually tries killing him because he knows his limits) eventually he gets fed up with this same old routine, wukong isnt giving him the reactions he wants anymore so he decides “you know what? im trying something else out) so he stops bothering wukong and goes to permanently stay in his dojo where researches different job options (thank you human internet) and even considers therapy.

fast forward some years, the dbk vs wukong fight doesnt actually happen in Squashed apricots (i’ll elaborate on that some other time too) and mac is much calmer and actually on his way to properly healing, he picked up medicine and gets demon patients at his dojo quite frequently, he even been thinking about moving and trying out human patients too. he grew out his fur and all that and its all fine and dandy, until he remembers wukong. and their break up. and the gold bracelet he still wears sometimes. so he decides “ah fuck it” and goes to visit wukong again, this time to actually try and work things out. wukong agrees, albeit a little hesitantly, and they start hanging out a bit more. as they get a bit closer, wukong suggests mac move in with him again so its easier to hang out and mac agrees (after alot of thought).

its only been a few days since mac moves in when wukong finds baby mk on his island (im writing this out so i wont elaborate muuuch) and they keep the baby for a year to see if hus parents come looking for him, when they dont the monkies decide to fully adopt mk. their (wukong and mac’s) relationship doesnt start going back to its romantic nature until mk’s about 2 ish ?? mac starts letting wukong be clingy and affectionate when mk’s 1 but they dont officially put a label on it until mk’s like 2/2 and a half. all throughout this point these two have not had a FULL on serious talk about the break up yet. mac has mentioned it a few times here and there, or alluded to it because sometimes something will trigger him and he’d spiral but wukong would dodge any serious serious convos about it. (smokes would sometimes alluded to it too through his behavior around wukong). wukong notices mac kept their wedding bracelets all these centuries and tells mac he kept his too, and tells him that he [wukong] would like them to get remarried when the time is right. mac agrees and they leave it at that.

fast forward to when mk’s 6, they finally have that serious talk and all that and theyre well into dating by now but they dont ever get ‘officially’ married until mk’s older (mostly because wukong forgot). wukong honestly just likes calling mac his husband and mac never corrected him so when they call each other husband in the new update its mostly because they like the implication of being married again and they havent officiated anything yet. mac still isn’t entirely ready for that commitment with wukong just yet
