Summary
Going into the city was a rare occasion for the Monkey King, much less venturing close to Pigsy’s noodle shop since his relationship with Mk’s friends was still rather strained and awkward.
That’s why, finding the stray cat that day was nothing short of a miracle.

Summary
“Soooo,” he dragged the word out. “Do you have any, um, medication? To treat worms?”
“I do have some... but they’re for cats. I’m not sure if I have anything for people– er, monkey demons?”
“Oh, that’s perfect,” Wukong grinned, relieved, before the smile dropped again once Sandy’s words registered in his brain. ”No! What– I mean, it’s not for me!”
“It’s okay, Mr. Monkey King,” Sandy said placatingly. “There’s nothing wrong with having wor–”
“I don’t have worms!” he cried incredulously. Quickly, he ripped out the knot behind his neck to unfold the sling, laying the stirring cat in the empty space between them.

Summary
“Ya wanna use my health card?” Pigsy asked suspiciously. He looked Wukong up and down, as if he could see any possible injuries through his armor and clothes. “I thought you were immortal, can’t just find some mystical-magic healer? I don’t understand why you’d need ta go to a normal hospital for anythin’.”
That wasn’t a ‘no’ yet. Wukong inhaled. Sure it was awkward and uncomfortable and stuffy and he’d rather stay on his mountain and—
And he was doing this for the cat. The pregnant cat that was waiting for him at home, probably with her food bowl half-full because her diet had increased to feed the extra babies in her tummy, and oh Buddha he really did want to see those babies in her tummy.
For the cat. He took another breath, “It’s not for me, per se.”

Summary
“Monkey King is pregnant,” she said, eyes wide at her own conclusion.
“Yep, Monkey King stole my job so I’m free for the afternoon,” Mk greeted as he settled on his bed, leaning back on his hands.
He stared up at the ceiling while he sipped from his water bottle. Mei waited patiently, still a bit shell-shocked herself, as Mk processed her words.
He suddenly spewed out his drink all over the floor with Mei narrowly avoiding the line of fire, “Monkey king is WHAT?!”

Summary
Sandy pursed his lips, his expression was laughably readable, as if he wasn’t even trying to hide his apprehension, as if the wreckage outside was all a joke to him. “Speak,” the Monkey King grinded his teeth. “Tell me the truth, tell me what happened.”
They walked to the other side of the boat and Sandy had nowhere left to back off to, the big man somehow looking incredibly small for his size while caged between the King and the wall.
Sandy folded in on himself a bit, hugging himself as his eyes nervously jumped from Wukong’s face to anywhere else. “Who did this?” the Monkey King seethed, his hand finding itself onto the wall next to Sandy, scraping against the paint job of the metal. “Answer me,” he gritted out.

Summary
Wukong stared at the man in front of him, noodles halfway in his mouth and the chopsticks in hand paused. A few seconds passed with nobody saying anything, and he decided to slurp up the rest of the noodles before fixing Tang with a wary look, “Uh, can I help you bud?”
The aforementioned man was grinning, which did nothing to ease his unrest. He was laid on his stomach, across the surface of the table in front of Wukong with his hands crossed under his chin.
“Hello Monkey King,” Tang's smile stretched impossibly wider. "Do you know what a maternity shoot is?”

Summary
The ground underneath Macaque opened into a mass of wriggling, slithering shadows, licking at his ankles. He looked over his shoulder, past Mk, “Catch ya later, Wukong.” Then he sank through the ground, cackles fading away with him before the shadow portal closed up.
Mk let out a breath of relief. He turned around just in time to see Monkey King put down his middle finger.
“Monkey King!”
“What?!” His mentor shrunk back, like a child preparing themself for a scolding.

Summary
There was fondness seeping from every line on Macaque's face. His eyes gleamed with incomprehensible love and devotion that had always scared the King on some level, but his traitorous heart fluttered hopelessly under the gaze.
He swallowed, throat bobbing with the motion, unsure of what to do other than to gently brush his own fingers across the hand on his cheek.
Macaque pressed his lips on Wukong’s temple. “I would kill for you. I would die for you,” he said, voice worshipful like a prayer.
Wukong clenched his teeth. “You will,” he said as his voice cracked.
