"Hey, Peaches.." Macaque said in a worried tone.
"Do you really think we can fight the Jade Emperor? Maybe we should stop while we can-"
Sun Wukong would cut him off and wrap his arm around his shoulder.
"Cmon Bud we totally got this we have the whole brotherhood on our side nothing can stop us and of course we have me"
Sun Wukong would have a smile on his face which brought hope to Macaque because maybe the future can be changed perhaps it will turn out fine and they will come back to flower fruit mountain and eat peaches forever and settle down. Maybe he'll be able to tell Sun Wukong how he feels finally. He could tell him how much he loves him.
"Are you worried about something?, You have seemed worried about this whole fighting thing for a while." Wukong added, looking directly at Macaque.
He had looked rather sarcastic than worried. In which made Macaque a little flustered to speak.
"Well, I guess I am just worried about us not making it.. I.... I want to say something to you. I do not feel like it is proper to say now, or ever.. but.... Wukong.," Macaque spoke as he looked to the ground, in the last moments of his little speech he looked into Wukongs eyes.
He paused as he saw the confused look on Wukongs face. Realizing that Wukong might not understand. I mean why would he?
"Wukong.. I like you." Macaque blurted, he looked to Wukong with a awkward look as his ears were back and he was red.
"I mean.. I like you too bud?" Wukong smirked to Macaque.
"No, I.. I love you..." Macaque suddenly murmured, cutting off Wukong slightly.
A long awkward silence was between the two, just intensive staring as Macaque was uncontrollably red and Wukong was stunned.
"I mean . . . I do too." Wukong said causally. Macaque looked to Wukong stunned, his ears suddenly lifted as he almost looked offended.
"What." Macaque raised an eyebrow
"Yeah, I do too." Wukong said casually again, repeating the same words and tone from the previous sentence.
Macaque continued to stare at Wukong, blinking for a long time frame. Suddenly, Macaque let out a blurted smirk as he started to quietly laugh. Wukong smirked once again, matching Macaques quiet laugh except soon bursting into laughter. Wukong wrapped his arm around Macaque once again as they both cackled loudly. Uncontrollable laughter swallowing the both of them.

Macaque would be laying on the ground seeing the blood oozing of his face. He felt his life slowly leave his body and those eye's that once held so much hope and joy are now looking down at him with hatred and disgust. Why did everything good have to come to a end?
"Wukong......I-I l-loved y-you....." Macaque would say as the blood quickly came up and out of his mouth and he would lay there with lifeless eyes looking up and the sky with a tear going down his cheek.
"MACAQUE! WAKE THE FUCK UP!" Wukong would yell as he was still mad at Macaque.
He soon realized that he wasn't breathing and that the Simian's chest was not rising anymore. He heard a small whisper come from Macaque, but he couldn't completely hear it he was still in disbelief. He looked down at his staff and saw the end of it covered in blood. He would throw the staff to the side and rush to Macaque.
"M-Macaque.....Wake up please" Sun Wukong would go to his body and try to lightly shake him to wake up, but he was cold to the touch.
Wukong would start to shake Macaque as tears fell from his eyes. He couldn't believe what he has done. He killed his best friend. His moon. The love of his life. He was in front of him dead.
"M-Macaque I-I am s-sorry come back to me please" The monkey king started to cry harder.
"PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME I AM SORRY I AM SO SORRY!" His screams filled the air. Everyone on Earth and the celestial realms could hear his cries. The rain started to come from the sky as Wukong held Macaque close crying...
