He let out nothing but a sigh of relief as he was finally able to feel your skin against their own. Its finger pads touched your face as if trying to make sure you were really there, and not just a figment of his imagination he made up from missing you so much. But you were real, you were so real. The Monkie Kid was unable to help the dorky little grin that returned to it’s face as they moved their hand against your cheek, then came his right hand which he promptly pulled up to the other side of your face.

“Oh man, I thought you nearly disappeared on me.” It was unable to help itself from frowning at this admission, a nervous chuckle leaving his mouth almost in shame. They just missed you so very much to a point where he felt embarrassingly clingy, though really they were just worried, anyone would be. Pity that your mentor, Macaque, had decided to be extra harsh with you as of recent. Apparently he claimed you had been slacking off and made you do extra training, what an asshole… not that he was wrong though. You had been slacking off to think of MK, what a shocker.

Neither of you could stay for long and you knew that, either one of the monkey demons might come along and find you both getting all romantic with one another, and then likely try to break it up—or worse, condemning and outright forbidding you two from meeting.

MK didn’t want that, he didn’t want you to go. It was unable to help the way it looked down towards the ground, not at anything in particular, but just to think—though he wasn’t exactly thinking about anything good considering his unpleasant facial expressions. There were so many things MK had to worry about, the worry of Spider Queen somehow coming back despite having just defeated her, the worry of other demons uprising and trying to come after them and their friends, and the worry that his relationship would be found out about.

Would all his have happened if he never became The Monkie Kid?
