[ Hooboy. Okay. He offered, now he has to follow through. ]
Red Son asked for me to give him a courting gift. Or rather, he wanted me to make a claim on him formally. My first thought was for you, what you'd think of that. So...
[ He reaches through a portal and then hands Wukong a little, white box. Inside is a pendant of woven shadows, the light bent so that the piece shines gold and red, in the shape of an intricate crescent moon cradling the brilliant sun. It's attached to another piece of woven shadow, this one in Macaque's inky purple, which serves as a strap. Being made of shadows it's adjustable without much effort and can be used for attaching it to whatever one likes. ]
I wanted to offer a claiming token to you first, so that you never doubt your place in my life or whether someone else is my priority. A piece of my magic for you to keep. And wear, if... you want to. I know that you have MK now and he comes first, I wouldn't ask you to change that. And even if you don't want to wear this, you'll know that I offered it to you first, and that's meaningful to me.
It's always been you first for me. It always will be.
And I still want you to mark me again, if that's something you want too.
[Wukong stares at the pendant, taking in every little detail. It's never not impressive, what he can manage with his shadows, or what he thinks to do with them. And this is just a prime example.
Before he gives a response, he loops it around his tail several times before adjusting the fit snugly. That way it's always visible since his tail always is, and also basically the safest place it can be.]
I love it. I would have accepted you courting him first, or MK...or whoever. But, I'm glad you chose me first.
As for MK, it's not that he comes first. He just...isn't only my mate, he's my responsibility. There are things he needs from me that you don't. That maybe one he won't. [He takes Macaque's face in his hands.] Besides, you're the person who gave me a specific person to care for first. Nothing will change or lessen that. I love you just as much. And I always will.
And I would mark you as mine a million times. So of course I still want to.
[ Macaque isn't sure what to make of the staring, but his nerves sure know exactly what to make of it because they kick up annoyingly. Then Wukong puts the thing on and Macaque lets out a breath that he hadn't been aware he was holding and finally cracks a smile. ]
It could never be anyone else first, Wukong. [ He can't and won't claim a favorite among his mates, it would feel wrong, but he never doubted that Wukong would have a chance to accept or reject his courting first. ]
[ Macaque doesn't say anything even as he slips his scarf off and starts unfastening his shirt until he can expose the place on his shoulder where Wukong had marked before. ] Good. I want you to. I want you to redo it anytime you feel shaky about where we are. As often as you need to.
