Chapter Text
Mk and Wukong had just finished training, and now you're sat between a panting Monkie Kid and a chattering Monkey King. You didn't pay much mind to the immortal's words, your attention and focus was drawn by the warmth coming off of him.
It was... Nice, comforting, it reminded you of something... Or someone? You just have no clue what or who it reminds you of. Whatever it was, you don't care anymore, you just wanted to soak up the feeling of warmth coming from him.
Your body instinctively leans towards the stone monkey, but you quickly realize what you're doing and jerk away. Fuck, that's embarrassing! You barely know the guy, you shouldn't do that!
"I'm gonna go get some water." You quickly lie and get up, of course Mk asks you to get some for him too, which you readily agree too. You walk to where your bag is and then you realize that it's starting to get super dark out, so it's gonna be hard to get back to Megapolis, and you refuse to let Mk carry you in his eagle form over a large body of water, just the staff ride here had you shaken.
You grab three bottles of water, the third you got just to be nice, and returned back to where Wukong and Mk were sitting.
You have to pause when you realize that Mk was knocked out on a rock, with Wukong nearby talking to some monkeys in a language that consisted of chirping and cooing.
He looks up at you, and you silently pass him a water bottle, not looking at him but instead staring directly at the sleeping Mk.
"That was fast." You comment, and Wukong just hums in confirmation, unscrewing the cap of the water bottle and taking a sip. You sit beside Mk, tapping your foot as you wait for him to wake up.
A few monkeys jump on you and climb you as silence falls over the mountain, the sounds of nature are a quiet background noise. You can feel the warmth Wukong lets off even from here, and you hate the fact you can't get any closer.
"Sooooo, you're a Seer, right?" Wukong drawls, his voice teasing and cheeky. You spare a glance at him, your expression stoic, but inside you desperately wanna quite literally steal his warmth and you are so jealous that you cannot.
"Yeah, I'm surprised Mk didn't tell you before." You shrug, acting as if this was perfectly normal. Wukong hums, his tail slowly flicking behind him as more monkeys pile around both you and Mk, mostly you, weirdly enough.
"It's weird, you don't have a Seer's scent, I've met a couple in my lifetime and none of them smelled like you." Wukong continues, and you mentally swear like a sailor in your mind. Of course he noticed you don't smell like a seer, Redson did the same thing!
"I have my ways~" You drawl, as you did to Redson, and he tilts his head curiously, eyes glowing a light gold. You feel a warmth spread up your spine, and your heart rate spikes when you realize that he's using gold vision on you. Fuck, what if he sees that you're not a seer or something?
He stares for a moment, and you quite literally have to poke his side to snap him out of whatever daze he was in. He jolts very briefly, and the warmth on your spine immediately snuffs out.
"Anyways! Any future knowledge you'd like to bestow upon me~?" The sage dramatically leans closer to you, a teasing tone to his voice. You don't care about the tone at all, you're more focused on the fact that now he's closer, you can feel the warmth he lets off even more.
"None that I'm allowed to." You respond to quickly snuff out his hopes, and he frowns.
"Boringgg, that's what they always say!" You hide your genuine surprise and just roll your eyes, mentally relieved that what 'other seers' say tracks with what you just did. That should help your case, hopefully.
"Yeah yeah, consequences suck and all that." You respond, and then feel Mk shift beside you. He stirs awake and you internally sigh in relief. Finally! You don't have to continue awkwardly chatting with someone who is technically considered a god!
He drowsily waves at you and hauls himself up, obviously tired. While getting up, he ends up unintentionally moving off some of the monkeys, who then scurry over to you.
Why are there so many around you?? You can barely see! There's literally one clinging to your chest! Is what you would think if you actually minded the position you were currently in.
The monkeys were SO FUCKING ADORABLE, you wanted to pet them so badly! But you held back because you don't know if that would be considered rude or not.
"Mmmmm, I think we should start heading back..." Mk's hoarse voice suddenly announces, and then you realize that if he does his staff thingy over the ocean while half-awake, he may actually drop you in the ocean.
Yeah you're not moving from this spot.
"Orrrr~! Since I can tell you're obviously tired, you two can spend the night!" Mk perks up, that familiar shine in his eyes. That wouldn't be such a bad idea!
"Oh my great sage- YESSS!!! We can watch Monkey Cop and play some Monkie Mech and-" Mk starts listing various things that the three of you could do, each of which Monkey King just nodded at and added on.
The three of you began heading to Wukong's hut with you in the middle, leaning a little more closer to Wukong because wow he was fucking warm as hell, you absolutely love it but refuse to say it out loud.
Mk sets up the T.V. while Wukong gets some snacks, most likely hair so you're not gonna be eating it anytime soon. You sit on the couch, not really sure what you should do since you weren't really given any task.
The Sunburst Duo finally returns, and they settle on either side of you. Wukong was munching on some snacks, while Mk turned on the T.V.
Wukong was right beside you, and it took ALL your might not to just plop onto him right then and there. You have no idea why you're so drawn to his warmth, and you don't know it you love it or hate it.
Monkey Cop plays on the T.V., you don't really pay attention to it since it's literally just Monkey King being a police cop but more chaotically, not exactly a show that caught your attention.
Your eyes slowly felt heavier and heavier, and the next thing you process is the warmth pressed against your side. Your heart drops when you realize that you're leaning against Wukong.
But at the same time, you don't want to move. The warmth is so nice, much better than the chill that usually clings to your skin.
Fuck it.
You go completely limp, practically your entire body pressed against the sage. You feel him tense very briefly, before relaxing a moment later. His tail flicks against you, and you take it as a win that he doesn't say anything or hasn't pushed you off.
You hear him chirp and coo, as he was doing earlier, and then a few small balls of warmth settled around you, a couple of them curling against your chest and one settling onto your head, their tail covering your right eye.
You fall asleep a few minutes later, a small, content smile on your face.
You wake up a few hours later because Wukong snores like a fucking lawnmower. While you are annoyed, you didn't complain since you just wanted his warmth, even if it costed your eardrums.
