Wukong had grown quite attached to the kid-
And seemingly the kid was really attached to him.
It made Wukong feel important and… like he hadn’t messed everything up-
The kid was currently tucked away in the King’s hoodie pocket, his tail curled around Wukong’s pinky finger as he curled up in his mentor’s palm.
All while Sun Wukong-
The Monkey King!
Great Sage Equal to Heaven!
Was out shopping for groceries.
Yup-
That’s right-
Ever since the Kid partially moved in with him on the mountain-
The Monkey King realized he lacked any mortal food
So now he was out shopping- and of course MK wanted to come with.
Wukong felt so protective over the boy-
He wanted to keep him safe
He didn’t want to fail him…
Again.
As he felt the miniature monkey demon stretch out then snuggle back up in to his hand, the king vowed to himself-
And whatever deity was listening
He wouldn’t make the same mistake he did 18 years ago-
He wouldn’t give his kid up again-
