"I know just where to put it in my room." He's going to get a decorative table and put it right next to his nest, where he can see and touch it all the time.
This means a lot, both because he can tell the work that went into this and because Wukong is doing this for Macaque, to make sure that he knows where he stands. It's not easy for Wukong to express himself like this, Macaque knows that all too well.
He shakes his head against Wukong's shoulder. "There's nothing that I'd ever want to change about you. If you can't find the words sometimes, it's okay. I'll find my reassurance in the way you hold me. And in this gift."
It's not something he can wear like the ring Lucifer gave him, but unless his powers are being fucked with, he'll be able to touch that orb from anywhere. Open a portal and see both it and the lovely box, and know that everything will be fine.
Wukong has, and always will be a doing. He's a monkey, so words don't speak as loud as doing. So he chose to do this for Macaque, as a way to express himself. Something he'll never be able to do for someone else in the same way if at all.
He starts to purr. "It's not a big change to make. I just have to remind myself that you don't really think like a monkey. But I'll hold you whenever you need." And even when he doesn't.
"I'm too verbose for a normal monkey," he says with a soft laugh that he breathes against Wukong's neck. "But you've never made me feel like I wasn't one. And that means a great deal, believe it or not."
It can't erase his past, but it helps him heal, little by little.
Macaque peels back to give Wukong a lidded look. "Will you kiss me whenever I need, too?"
