castaside | [Heart Game] From the ashes we can build

Red Son stared at MK for several moments.

Raises an eyebrow. A pointed look.

....he supposed since everyone knew it was gonna be a thing ANYWAY. "I suppose I could use a little grounding," he said.

See how much he loves you, MK? See the mercy he shows?

Mk knew his demon bull prince was merciful and kind. Sometimes. When he really needed it. Mk knew he'd be menaced later. And he would menace in return. Right now? He appreciated that mercy so much. Even with the pointed look.

MK walked over, wrapped his arms around Red Son, and kissed him. He just tried to not think about making out with Red Son inside Macaque's soul. Yeah. Best to not focus on that part.

Red Son wraps an arm around his shoulders and kisses him back.

Pointedly presses close to him, because if he was going to kiss MK for his benefit, he still wanted to know how much he was affected and enjoy it. His hand lightly running through his hair at the base of his skull.

MK pressed back. It wasn't hard for Red Son to realize just how affected MK was. It pressed against his thigh as they made out. His hands wrapped around Red Son's waist and groped his ass. MK was definitely in a good.

Oh, he can definitely feel how affected he was. His leg shifting to press his thigh more against him. There is a small surprised noise at the grope and his hand tugs at his hair. Letting himself melt against him for a minute.

MK ground his hips into the leg and groped harder. He deepened the kiss and let out a small growl. Oh this was getting hot. Well, it always was with Red Son. He broke the kiss and whispered against his boyfriend's lips.

"You're you. You're Red Son. Prince of the Demon Bull Family. Son of DBK and Princess Iron Fan. You're mine. I'm yours. You're a genius. Okay?" MK made sure to check in and remind Red Son who he was. Separate from the universe and the fire. Apart.

There is a soft chuckle against his lips. "Its call lying for your dignity, Noodle Boy. But I appreciate the preemptive assurance," he murmured against his lips, claws lightly scratching his scalp, holding his hips against his. "You gonna be able to hold it together?"

MK blushed and chuckled back. Stupid sexy Red Son.

"What dignity?" He whispered and nodded. "I'll be fine. Thanks for checking in. How you holding up?"

"Uh huh. Then you can just ask for it outright next time," he said and nipped playfully at his lips.

He leans back, arms resting on his shoulders. "Macaque is bullying me and doing his best to make my heart ache. I'm wondering if I should be jealous, I didn't get anything near as sexy happening, apparently."

MK chuckled and gave a chirp in surprise at the nip. His hands stayed on Red Son's hips.

"Hey. You never know if there won't be more. And it was mostly me reacting. To stuff you already have pictures of," MK clarified. So Red Son would know EXACTLY what memories.

"If you ever have to do this for me, you know it's gonna be lots of sexy memories. Anyway. We need to stick together," Right back to business after dropping that. "You wanna go through my door first or yours when we're ready?"

"Ah, I can see why its a memory then," he said. "It was a pretty important moment for him." Letting MK in more, letting him get closer when he was so worried.

"Hopefully we won't had to do this, or at least give me six months. It is a lot," he said, his hold tightening on him a moment. "....yours. We're looking for Wukong feelings, and the bigger chunks will be closer to you than me. Mine might have some of the complications acknowledgement at best."

MK nodded. No more of these games ever, but he knew there might be one. Hopefully not too many more. MK sighed and snuggled a little closer.

"Okay. My memories are almost all about me. There are two I think would work. I felt something in both about Monkey King. I just don't know which is...better isn't the right word. But you get what I mean?"

"What would be most helpful to Macaque," he said. There is a pause. "This is the first accessible place. The one where he has most control. So it might be like...how he would want to decide to interact with you and others."

MK was trying to think. "One of them was about the block. The other...about her and feeling like he was dying again. I think the block might work? It might take us to where the Monkey King feelings are all broken?"

"The block? In regards to you?" Red Son asked.

"Yeah. But I know the block also is the same for Wukong. So if we go there, maybe we can find Monkey King emotions there? In all the blocked stuff?" Mk asked with a tilt of his head.

"It seems like filling the voids is powering up the elevator," Red Son said. "Using the block may give him more control over it....or it might make it harder to overcome..."

He frowned at the ground. "What are the other options?"

MK went quiet for a moment. Okay. He had to...share. He'd share with Red Son. Of course he would. He just felt awkward.

"Well...the sexy memory. That one. ...A memory when he was...with me. He was affected by fairy dust and...it was a happy memory. A real happy memory. He realized something about me. About us. One where he got the idea to make the game he made for me. And the one where Lady Bone Demon threatened to erase him from the world. That was all of them." Mk said with hesitation in his voice to go into detail.

Red Son considered, and he squeezed MK again. Just holding him close. "The game? And what realization?"

He leaned into the squeeze. "He made me a video game. I...I was scared after I realized I was a demon monkey. And he wanted to help me. He taught me only I get to choose who I am and I can choose to do anything I want. That things aren't just one choice or another," MK said.

"He realized...he loves me."

"Oh." He looked surprised at that. "I thought he had known before that."

"I don't know. I just felt it. In the memory," MK said. He was still trying to work out this revelation in himself. It was hard to focus on it right now.

"I know it was powerful. It's in a plushie of the sun."

"That would track," he said. There is hesitation. He knows MK worries about Macaque's feelings for him...

But.

Also forcing feelings on Macaque wouldn't be fair.

But.

Its also MK's choice. Macaque was giving him the choice.

"I'm not sure we should use the block first. I think the implications are there will be more of these pathways we need to build. We wouldn't want to accidentally strengthen it, but if that's the way to go, we can use it later," he said. "I think...the best approach what you think would help with Macaque connecting to the outside."

MK wasn't thinking about what they plugged in would force anything. It was good Red Son wasn't saying that part out loud. It was spiral Mk into all sorts of self-doubt.

"Okay. Okay. So we need a happier memory. If we knew which level the block was on, that would be easier. Maybe there's a hint with the others? What about your memories? Which ones did you get?"

"The most traumatic things I did in Choco's heart that I'm just...definitely not going to use, even if it involves Wukong. Him watching me go off about engineering," he said and then his face gets more red. "And...him realizing that he liked hanging around me after our first time together. And...when I accepted a choker made of shadows from him." Something made of magic around his neck is A Lot. "And talking to him after your talk went badly. He thought I'd reject him because you were hurt and I told him I wasn't."
