[The Wound You Helped Me Heal//SpiceyNoodles]

Sneaking out of bed, Mk quietly made his way to the stairs. His tail swung behind him contently. Hearing his phone buzzing on the table in the livingroom, Mk picked it up and answered. "Hello?" He asked quietly, minding Redson sleeping upstairs. "Hey Mk, I was just wondering if you and Redkid wanted to go on vacation with me and Macaque." It was Wukong. Sighing and looking down at the blood seeping through his shirt, Mk walked to the bathroom to replace his bandages and walked back out to the livingroom to answer the call.

Mk thought about it for a second, before answering his dad. "I'll ask Redson-" "Ask me what, Noodle Boy?" Mk jumped and turned around. "Ah! Monkey King was wondering if we wanted to go on vacation with them!" Mk exclaimed happily to the sleepy male infront of him.

Redson hummed an approval before making his way to the bathroom. "Redson said yes, so... we'll be coming with you two then!" Mk exclaimed happily. "Great! I'll let Macaque know. We're leaving next week, and we're going to the Bahamas. We're staying for two weeks." Wukong said before ending the call. As Redson walked out of the bathroom, Mk was already off of the call and heading upstairs to pack. "Where are you going, Noodle brain?" Redson asked, stepping into the livingroom. "We're going next week, so we have to pack!" Mk exclaimed, rushing up the rest of the stairs he had left.

Redson followed, his hair in his face and his eyes drooped from how sleepy he still was.

"My dad said that we're going to the Bahamas and staying there for two weeks, so pack cooler clothes." Mk spoke, grabbing a suitcase out, his tail swaying happily behind him. He's never been on vacation before. "Okay, but you've got a check up tomorrow." Redson said, grabbing his bag and shoving a couple more pieces of clothing inside of it.

Mk whined while he packed some clothes. Closing the suitcase, Mk shoved it into the corner of his room.

Walking downstairs, with Redson following, Mk went to the kitchen to get breakfast going. "Can I make it this time?" Redson asked, walking right next to Mk and towering over him. "Do you really want to?" He asked, tilting his head to the side. "Yes, I do, please?" Mk nodded, walking to the sink and starting on the dishes they've used the past week.

Silently, the both of them thought of ways to confess their love to one another as they did their task. Only for breakfast to be finished and they needed to start eating.

The next day arrived, and it was time for Mk to go see the doctor. Currently, both Mk and Redson were in the car, listening to Barbie Girl and whining.. well, the whining bit mostly went to Mk, Redson was trying really hard to hear the music.

"But.. I don't need to see the doctor! I've been doing fine on my own Red!" Mk complained, pouting. His tail twitched angrily in the air to match the young monkey's mood. "I do not care, Noodle Brain. We need to make sure that injury of yours isn't infected." Redson bit back, his tone telling Mk to back down.

"Fine. But no needles!" Mk exclaimed, "Let the doctors do what they need to Mk, or I'll hold you down and make you stay still." Redson said, unlocking his car and stepping out to go to the passenger side. "Out." He said, opening the door.

"No." Mk childly said, crossing his arms and sticking out his tongue. Redson sighed, grabbed Mk, lifted him up, and closed the door. Mk squeaked as he was picked up and help onto Redson tightly. "Hey! I can walk you know!" Mk pouted, "I'm not risking you running away." Redson said, opening the door and walking up to the front desk.

Whispers filled the room as Mk was seen by people. "Is that the Monkie Kid?" Some whispered, "Is that the Monkey King's son?" The others asked.

"I have an appointment for Mk." Redson said blandly, looking at the nurse behind the counter. The nurse typed in the name, "I don't see an, 'Mk' in our system." Sighing, Redson placed Mk down and watched as the smaller male looked at the nurse. "Renshu." He said, his voice dipping down to a hateful tone. "I can change that for you, hun." The nurse said, smiling kindly at Mk.

Mk's eyes brightened up, smiling he nodded. "If it's not too much trouble for you." He said, watching as the nurse typed away. "Alright, Dr. Dingleberry will be with you in a couple of minutes, you can take a seat." The nurse smiled, grabbing the phone that started ringing next to her. Redson walked over to a double chair and sat down, watching Mk as he sat next to him.

"Renshu?" A male voice called, Mk's eyes filled with hurt and annoyance as he stood and walked over to the doctor, Redson following close behind. "What are you in here for today?" The doctor asked, walking down the hallway with the two younger males following behind. "Well, Mk here has decided that he wanted to get hurt and not tell anyone about it. So we're here for a check up." Redson explained, walking behind Mk and gently placing his hand on the monkey's shoulder.

The doctor looked at Redson, sighing, and nodding. "You're fortunate enough to be able to get her here, she never comes on her own." The doctor said, opening the door to his room.

"Please, call Mk a boy. He is a male, and he would like to be called and treated like one." Redson said, waiting for Mk to sit before he sat himself. "My apologies, he hasn't been here since his days in the orphanage.." Redson looked at Mk with a questioning look. Mk, who's eyes were wide with hate, was staring at the doctor.

"Please remove the clothing necessary to see what you needed me to look at." Mk sighed and took his shirt and bandages off. His chest surgery coming in handy. "There." The doctor looked at the injury and hummed. "Looks like it was reopened."

Mk nodded, "I originally got it in 2021, but then about four months ago, it was reopened." He said, his voice slow. The doctor nodded and noted it down. It doesn't look infected, but it may be helpful to get stitches." The doctor said, inspecting more of the wound. "Would you like to get that stitched up?" Dr. Dingleberry asked, looking at Mk and Redson. "Uh no, I think it'll be alright for a while." Mk said, looking over to Redson.

The remainder of the time they took retracting Mk's torso and doing a regular check up. "You're all up to date, come back soon for your shots!" The doctor said, ushering them both out. Mk just wanted to go home and chill out

As soon as Redson and Mk got home, Mk unlocked the door and head towards the shower. After the shower, Mk went downstairs to Pigsy's with Redson and decided to get some noodles for dinner.

"Hey Mk! Haven't seen you in a couple of weeks, kid!" Pigsy said, smiling at the younger man's presence. "Hey Pigsy! Can I have a bowl of noodles?" Mk asked, smiling happily at seeing his other father figure. "Sure, does Red want some too?" Nodding and watching the pig start work, Redson sat down at a table.

Man, Mk hates to admit it, but he misses working for Pigsy and seeing him everyday.

As soon as the boys were done eating, Mk and Redson payed and left, saying their goodbyes. "Bye kid, see ya later!" "Yep! By Pigsy, thank you!"

Mk and Redson decided it was time for bed as soon as they got home. Changing into pajamas, they both went to Mk's bed and layed down. Cuddling eachother and falling asleep contently with each other's presence.
