MK is almost definitely suffering misplaced guilt for actions under a heinous status effect. I'm doing damage control and already sent Wukong a message, let him try first, but more eyes on the Noodle Boy in a spiral is better.
So how are you holding up?
[Someone finally both remembered and found his goddamn phone.]
DID WUKONG FIND YOU
DID WUKONG FIND YOU
I need to talk to you as soon as possible. It's about Wukong. I think I know what happened. I owe you an explanation...and an apology.

Once you've been killed everything else is compared favorably. [ Clearly he's fine, and don't you have better things to worry about? ]

Your earbuds is on our coffee table whenever you want to pick them up. We need to do the tests for sounds, but at least you should be able to watch fireworks without a headache.

[Macaque will find a present waiting for him when he arrives at Cole's place this morning. The box is small and wrapped in wrapping paper with little lanterns on it. The bow has been tied into a shape of lotus flower. Inside is a necklace with woven together string made of werewolf fur. The charm on the necklace is a black stone shaped into a cloud. It is shining from the polishing done to it.]
[ Macaque is duly impressed by the presentation. The gift is... nice. Wistful and nostalgic in the right ways. Aspirational, almost. ]
[ It dawns on Macaque after a few moments where this gift got delivered to. And he chuckles somewhat awkwardly to himself. Cat's out of the bag. ]

Hi Macaque-san! I made a list of everything I could think of re: my pendant.
[ She attaches a document ]
Thank you again for offering to help. It means a lot.
Anything Red Son-san knows, he's free to share with you and vice versa.

Can I be selfishly sad about something?
Not related to the surgery.
Nor the kidnapping.
Nor horrifying sad.
Reasonable life sad.
There is no fix, and I don't need guidance or advice, but I can't be selfish with the sadness with Choco or Eve and that isn't my relationship level with Wash.
I don't want to be alone with it.

No pressure.
He would normally look at that image for a truly ridiculously long time before doing anything, but there are factors at play. This is Choco's brother, and he might still be in a bad way... and damn Macaque's soft spot for intense vascillations in how someone treats him.
He texts back "Five seconds" after only about a minute and then a portal opens beside the little arrangement.
Macaque smiles wryly, "A better trap for me could hardly be set."

Spoke to MK.
Is sealing away his monkey form harmful for him?
Is sealing away his monkey form harmful for him?
We're not sure, but probably. He's got no experience with seals like this, and his emotions seem to be dulled. It's like some sick déjà vu.
I tried to talk him into removing the seal but he's afraid he'll hurt someone else. I'm working on it.
What did he say to you specifically? Maybe it'll help with my convincing.

Hey Dad,
I've been doing a lot of thinking this past week ...
While it did help me to have some time to process what happened without worrying about managing other people's reactions, it was wrong of me to make you promise to keep it a secret.
It affects you as well.
You've been fighting so hard to be strong for us. To carry us. Anything we ask, you try so damn hard to give no matter what it does to you. Through that promise, I inadvertently cut you off from being able to seek the support YOU need and deserve. I'm sorry for that.
I absolve you of the promise completely. If you want to talk about it, if you need to talk about it, you can.
I'm going to try to tell Wash-nii today.
And I'm going to work on opening up to Donnie and Eve about it too. Donnie especially deserves to know; he's a target of MK's feelings and behaviour just as much as I am, or more.
It's fine if you happen to tell them first. Just let me know.
Lots and lots of love,
Choco

Hey, babygirl.
Whatever you decide is always okay with me. It wasn't wrong of you to ask me not to spill, you needed time. You deserved time. It wasn't wrong of you to ask for what you needed to get through it.
But I'm glad I can talk to them now. Donnie especially and also Wash, it felt like I was lying. I'll make sure to tell you if somehow I talk to them first, but I'm going to give you time first. Okay?

Neutral to a very mild positive.
Once I go on a violent quest to be rid of residual aggression and make power points for him to endure.
So long as he doesn't royally mess up with Choco and doesn't lie to me again.

You don't have to call me back. But I needed to call you.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry I spiraled. I'm sorry I didn't say anything back. I should have.
I'm sorry you had to get in the middle of your family and me again. I'm sorry I hurt you. I know it's hard for you to keep doing this. And thank you for doing it. Because it would have been so much worse. I was gonna kick his ass.
But you stopped me. I stopped because you were there.
I know seeing that side of me had to be hard. It hurt you. I saw it on your face. But I trust you enough to see it. I just wish...I could have shown it to you differently. Without that short jerk poking at it like that.
I'm going to work on the clone thing. And that thing. And all of it.
But just so you know, I'm going to try and just show my other stuff more. Like when I'm angry. I'm trying to not hold that back anymore. So yeah.
I love you.

[ Well of course he was gonna call back. ]
I love you too. I'm glad you called.
It's okay to spiral, especially when you're faced with someone who's poking all your vulnerable spots. It helps that you can see that I was trying to help. Him attacking you wasn't fair to anyone and I just wanted him to stop and not do it again.
It did hurt when you didn't say anything before you left, but I think I understand. You were trying to be honest with where you were at that moment.
But we do need to talk about you calling yourself a monster because my hand was hurt. That's what got me. I want you to be honest but when you say things like that it's going to hurt me. I don't know if there's any way around that, because my hurt reaction is and honest one too and I don't think you want me to hide it.

[ Continued from here ]
Macaque less guides or tugs Miyuni through the portal than suggests it with a subtle collection of movements, a shift of weight, his hand sliding to the nape of her neck (beneath that glorious mane, his fingers are desperate to bury themselves in it), his expression turning suggestive in a way that's ingratiating rather than something more insistent. He doesn't want to demand anything of this woman, she's doing quite fine driving without his help.
Beyond the portal, if she should bring him through it, is the room that his children designed for him. A large nest of silks rests in the middle, the walls dotted with artwork and pictures of his loved ones, some of whom Miyuni will recognize. There is a set of glass doors leading to a balcony and the aforementioned mango tree, and to another end there is the bathroom where a waterfall can be heard. There are also some seating areas, but the nest seems the best place to get comfortable.
"I hope this will suit," he says, his smile warming by quick degrees. "But I suspect, for my part, anywhere with you would be comfortable."
Macaque's hand moves off the back of her neck and his fingertips trace the shell of her ear, rounding over the tip, as requested. Emboldened by her invitation, he kisses her again (this is less taking initiative than doing as requested), a little less restrained, a little less tidy, a lot more heat.

[ Macaque's subtle suggestions are followed by an equally subtle segue into a dance in minor key: that is how Miyuni chooses to bring the two of them through the portal. It's an ebb and flow of easy, graceful footwork and shifting hands, because why waste time with simple, boring walking when they could have this instead?
Under almost any other circumstances she'd be all over this room, curious to the point of being a nosy menace. Right now she'd rather be all over him. So she sways another dance step, and another and another, and somewhere along the way — slowly, with the same inexorable draw as gravity — Macaque will find himself lifted like he weighs nothing.
He could wrap his legs around her. She hopes he will. ]
It's got you in it, and a — ooh, that is a fantastic nest. [ She hasn't looked away from him. Doesn't plan to anytime soon, and the way her lashes flutter at his renewed attention to her ear does not count. ] More than suiting, s'far as I'm concerned.
[ Her twinkling grin melts against his lips. She hums her approval, happy to take, to claim, and escalate. Kiss after kiss, still unhurried even as it blossoms in intensity. A little more teeth, a lot more spice … and the softness of silk as she presses him down into his nest. ]

I wanted to check on you. See how you are after everything. I hope you are as well as you can be.

Macaque had a lovely time meeting Charlie, she's wonderful. And sweet. He can see where Lucifer got his desire to help people. But that part of the evening is over and done with. He makes a portal and tugs Lucifer through it, which leads to his room, just outside his nest.
"She is a delight. But right now, I don't think I want to talk about any of our kids." He drapes his arms around Lucifer's shoulder and leans in for a kiss. You made promises, you handsome Devil.

Lucifer enjoyed dinner and dessert. Now though, it was time to work it all off. He follows Macaque and wraps his arms around that waist. He grins and kisses Macaque back. He agreed fully. Now is not the time to talk about their kids. He growls as his tongue moves over Macaque's lips, asking to deepen the kiss. No need to hold back now. Lucifer was going to keep every promise he made to his sexy monkey.
