Work Text:
Wukong was finished collecting peaches with his baby monkies on Flower Fruit Mountain. And was carrying them in his arms. He also found so bananas and plums for Macaque.
Speaking of Macaque, where was he? He hasn't left the shack yet and he was usually minutes up after Wukong.
Sure they made up, but they were still on the basis of trusting each other. Wukong had a bed while macaque was content with sleeping on the couch. However, Wukong had made a comment about Macaque could join him in bed if he was "cold".
'Its fine Wukong'
Maybe Macaque is oversleeping and he was really tired? Maybe Macaque used too much magic during training? A lot if things could've happened could be reasons why Macaque isn't awake.
But what if he even isn't awake? What if someone happened to him that was fatal?
Maybe these were just 'excuses' so Wukong could see Macaques peaceful nature when he sleeps.
Wukong pulled out a hair and made a basket to put the peaches in. And then he made his way back to the hut.
When he walked in, he noticed that Macaque wasn't on the couch. Ok..maybe he was in Wukongs bed.
Wukong also looked at his rooms door being wide open. 'This is really weird' Wukong thought as he walked slowly to his room.
He slowly stepped inside and heard whimpers and grunts, noticeably coming from his bed.
Then he saw the shadow monkey he was looking for, Macaque cradling himself and hasn't even been under the covers yet.
Wukong got really worried, "M-mac? You okay, bud?"
Not wanting to touch him without permission, he kept a well distance.
Macaque didn't respond, only a whimper again. Wukong then tried to go on the other side of the bed where he could actually see macaques face.
Macaque's eyebrows knitted furiously with his teeth gritting and his eyes were shut but on the verge of tears. It's also noticed that his six ears and scars were on display.
Wukong didn't know what to do? What happened to Macaque? Was he having nightmares? Or is it that time of the m-
Oh.
Wukong had these menstrual cycles as well, sure his cramps did not bother him at all, all he would get from it was a little headache.
But Macaque was different. Macaque had really bad cramps which made him have a bad attitude. Wukong usually helped with cuddling him and basically comforting him.
However, Wukong can't really do that because they just got used to talking to each other without trying to kill each other.
So.."umm..Macaque? Do you want me to get you water orr?"
Wukong saw Macaque's ears twitch, which meant he knew he heard him, and Wukong was suddenly pulled closer to Macaque.
Wukong saw as Macaque tore his arms from his own stomach around Wukong himself.
"Mac?!" Wukong got red from Macaque surprise-hugging him. Macaque pulled Wukong in further and got him laying on the bed. Macaque's grasp tightened around Wukongs waist.
Wukong didn't know where to put his hands. Should he cradle macaques face, put his arms around his back or just stay put?
Just awkward silence feels the room.
"can you relax your heart for like 5 minutes"
Wukong looked over at the person he was now in bed with. His eyes were slightly open and he didn't seem to be in much pain as before.
"Oh, you're awake!"
"..yea"
"...."
"Are you uncomfortable?"
..
"No."
Wukong then put his arms around Macaque and entangled his limbs with his.
Macaque then nuzzle Wukongs face and put his face near his neck.
"I feel like shit"
"Yea I could tell, … you sure this isn't a ploy to get 'closer' to me?" Wukong said jokingly.
"You're so annoying, you know that?" Macaque said dryly.
"So when did you come into my bed, cause I didn't quite see you"
"I came in here after you left to go outside"
"And you've just been suffering quietly in here, without calling for me or anything"
"Well, I don't really trust you yet"
"And yet you 'surprised-hugged' me"
"That's not even a word."
"Whatever, my point still stands."
"...well your point is invalid"
….
"Soo you gonna let me go so I can get you medicine for your cramps or?"
Macaque showed discomfort for letting him go and buried his head more into Wukongs neck.
"ugh" Wukong decides to summon a clone to get the medicine as well to text mk that he will not be available for training
Really good side to this is Macaque still trusts him, even if he doesn't like to admit it.
…
'He trusts me?'
