~💜🍑Ask #9🍑💜~

This ask is from Elliboom on AO3!: OH OH OH *raises hand* I have a couple of questions for Wukong and Macaque:

1) If one of them was kidnapped, tortured, cursed, injured, poisoned, used as a pawn by the celestial kingdom, nearly dying or mind-controlled, how would the other one who remained unharmed react?

2) If it wasn't for LBD who revived Macaque, would he still be in Diyu or would Wukong have saved him at any moment and gotten him out of there?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Both Macaque and Wukong were currently relaxing in the hot spring on Flower Fruit Mountain. 

The said hot spring sat hidden among the fruit trees and sakura trees that surrounded it in a perfect ring, with the only entrance being covered by flower vines that grew purple and gold flowers.

They were softly chatting together when the screen appeared floating above the water with new questions on it, causing both monkeys to fall silent as their eyes scanned over the questions.

Both their eyes narrow once their eyes finish going over the first question. Small growls rumbling in their chests as the question sunk in.

They answered the question in perfect, scary, unison twin growls twisted within their tone.

Wukong & Macaque: I'd take care of my mate's injuries before hunting down the fucker who dared to hurt my mate and kill them without hesitation regardless of any witnesses!

Then they both gained evil smirks.

Wukong & Macaque: But not before torturing them the same way they did to my mate first. Because nobody hurts my mate and lives to tell the tale!

The second question had them calming down considerably, though now Macaque was feeling uncomfortable and Wukong was just plain nervous.

Wukong rubbed the back of his head nervously.

Wukong: Uh, yeah, about that~

He gave a nervous laugh.

Wukong: So, funny story~ I actually DID go to the Diyu after the journey to drag Mac out of it and back to the land of the living myself! But...

Macaque becomes shocked at the confession, not having known Wukong had done that.

Wukong took a steady breath.

Wukong: But I couldn't FIND him! It was like something was HIDING him from me so I couldn't bring him back!

Macaque frown slightly.

Macaque: Seriously? Why didn't you just come for me right after you killed me?

The Monkey King started to actually SHAKE as tears started to form in his golden eyes.

Wukong: I tried! But master wouldn't let me leave! Do you know how hard it was for me to wait literal YEARS just to go and drag my mate, who I KILLED with my OWN HANDS, from the Diyu only to not be able to find him when I FINALLY got the chance to!? I went to the Diyu and...

Wukong blinked, and the tears started to silently fall, rolling down his furry cheeks.

Macaque now looked at his precious mate in worry.

Macaque: Wukong?

The golden-furred monkey balled his fists as his body started trembling more and his teeth gritted.

Wukong:  I COULDN'T FIND YOU MACAQUE! I-I TRIED but I-I just COULDN'T find you!

Lifting one of his arms from the steaming water, Macaque placed his hand reassuringly on Wukong's arm.

Macaque: It's ok, Wukong. That's in the past now. I'm here now, even if it WAS due to the Lady Bone Bitch.

Wukong shook his head and brought a hand up to cover the one Macaque has on his arm.

Wukong: No it's not Plums. I...I could HEAR you but I couldn't find you! An now...

He looked at Macaque with a small frown.

Wukong: Now, I think it was BECAUSE of that bitch that I was unable to find you in the Diyu no matter HOW long I spent following your voice, following your screams. 

Wukong suddenly looked up at the darkening sky with a pained look.

Wukong: God, the screams. I'll never forget those screams I heard echo in that place.

Macaque watched his mate, unable to think of anything to say to help comfort him because he had LIVED in the Diyu for YEARS, centuries even! 

He knew the torture of the Diyu. 

Had been one of the ones being tortured!  So there wasn't anything he could say to comfort his King. All he could do was grab a cut-up peach from the forgotten plate at the edge of the hot spring and feed it to Wukong to help distract him, which worked because IT was a peach and HE was Wukong.
