" [ Y/N ] "

★

[ Y/N ] shot his head up, beginning to breathe heavily as he felt his chest pounding and his vision trying to clear up. [ Y/N ] slowly rubbed his chest to calm himself down and took a few deep breaths. He exhaled one last breath as his vision started becoming clearer. "Where the hell am I?"

[ Y/N ] analyzed the room he was in a big circular window behind him with curtains, bookshelves with dusty scrolls and books, plants in different shapes and sizes, a thin carpet below, a comfortable bed, and an orange monkey.

[ Y/N ] shook his head in confusion, then noticed the monkey crawling up towards him, which made him flinch away, giving a hiss that escaped his lips. The orange monkey backed away for a second then came back.

"What do you want? Where am I?" [ Y/N ] spoke towards the monkey, who tilted his head in confusion. While trying to process where [ Y/N ] was. As he was trying to think, he placed his hand on his forehead, which made him flinch from surprising pain in his head.

"What the hell?" [ Y/N ] blinked a few times before noticing a bandage wrap around his torso, forehead, cheek, arm, even his foot. Any movement from [ Y/N ] and his body started to hurt; it felt like hell especially his foot.

"Great, I'm in a random room and can't move." [ Y/N ] groaned, trying to figure out what to do. As he was thinking, the orange monkey rubbed against his leg and climbed on his chest.

"For some reason, your fur looks similar."

[ Y/N ] lifted an eyebrow, wondering. "I should try to find a way to leave-" But was cut off by someone barging into the room.

"OH!? YOU'RE AWAKE?"

[ Y/N ] eyes widened at the sudden figure barging into the door. The orange monkey jumped in surprise and left the room leaving [ Y/N ] and the mysterious figure alone. [ Y/N ] tried to rush out just to feel that sharp pain then fell off the bed and landed face flat on the ground.

"Yikes, Are you okay?" The individual spoke concerned coming towards the [ F/C ] figure.

[ Y/N ] turns his head to view the figure: He had orange almost golden fur, a golden-brown plate over his shirt, gold coattail with red and turquoise trim, maroon pants, a red sash belt, black boots, a red cape, a small-cap with two red feathers, and gold eyes.

"Who are you!? Where am I!" [ Y/N ] snarled as he tried to pick himself up from the ground. The individual stepped away and took a deep breath. "My name is Sun-Wukong and found you near a river luckily you were still breathing so I saved you." He bluntly spoke.

[ Y/N ] ears flatten as if he is ready to attack but steps back analyzing the orange figure.
"I don't know how you are but I'll be leaving-ACK!" Another pain shot back at [ Y/N ] making him fall to the ground.

"Hey! Be careful now!-" The figure was cut off by [ Y/N ] flexing his teeth and snarling. "Don't touch me!" Wukong eyes widened as he viewed him: He looked pretty beat up, shaking, bandages almost all around his body, messy [ F/C ], eye bags under his [ E/C ], tail tucked curled around his leg, and dirty hanfu.

Wukong took a long sigh as he pinched his nose. "Why is he shaking so much? He looks so terrified.." He slowly got on one knee and stared at [ Y/N ] knowing who he was. "Look I can't help you if you won't let me and your wounds won't heal if you keep being stubborn. So if you want to leave I'm not stopping you or stay and heal." His golden eyes narrowed at [ Y/N ].

[ Y/N ] took a hard stare at the orange figure. "Don't do it [ Y/N ]. You can't trust this guy but I can't be alone on my own especially while he's still looking for me.." He let out a groan as he looked down on the floor with embarrassment.

"Fine I will stay but only to heal." Wukong hummed as he got up on his feet and helped [ Y/N ] as he felt stiff as Wukong sat him on the bed.

"..I never said "thank you" but I appreciate you for saving me but don't think that makes us friends." [ Y/N ] tail swifts around as Wukong gave a skimpy smile. "That's cool with me but one rule: you can't leave this temple," Wukong spoke which made [ Y/N ] eyes widen.

"What do you mean "can't leave this temple", huh?" [ Y/N ] raised a brawl at the orange figure. Wukong blinked at the comment and then spoke. "Did you forget your Lunar Monkey? Your species is banned from the land and celestial realm. Duh." Wukong gave a "you're dumb" glance.

[ Y/N ] blinked as he stared at Wukong at what he just said. "How do you know what species I am huh!?" [ Y/N ] backed away but Wukong explained it to ease [ Y/N ].

"Your species is banned everywhere from here because one captain turned every single one into bloody-thirsty man-eating monkeys and I was the one who defeated the one who wanted to challenge the Jade emperor."

[ Y/N ] ears rise as he has a Deja vu of a story his mother would tell him and how that same caption for many years was his father. "So you are the one who fought my father.." [ Y/N ] voice trailed off as Wukong's expression went blank.

"Are you okay?-"
"THAT SAME CAPTION I HAD TO BEFIT FROM MANY YEARS STILL IS ALIVE AND HAS A KID WHO ARE YOU!?" Wukong shouted as he gave a dumbfounded look.

"Yeah, You know a lot about my kind do you?" [ Y/N ] tilts his head questioning. Wukong also noticed that the male seemed calm which is better than a man-eating monkey.

"Well Duh! Everyone including me thought y'all went extinct or died. So it's important to not leave till you're well." Wukong got up and grabbed a small red box. "May I see your arm?" Wukong requested. [ Y/N ] gave a discomfort expression and did it anyway.

"See? Not so bad. Right?" The orange figure gave a small smirk. "Sure," [ Y/N ] had a deadpanned look as he analyzed Wukong taking off his old bandages and putting on some liquid that would help but it smelled overwhelming.

"It's so weird.. this guy letting me into his home even though I'm a stranger. How odd also I don't know if I can trust him." [ Y/N ] thought to himself as he stared at Wukong's figure.

"Since you gave me your name I guess I'll give mine." [ Y/N ] spoke which caught Wukongs attention. "Oh, that's right! What is your name?" Wukong replied. "My name is [ Y/N ]."
"Well, it's nice to meet you [ Y/N ]." Wukong gave a warm smile as he finished up.

"I mean he looks nice and has fluffy fur that almost looks like sunset color." [ Y/N ] stared into oblivion as he wondered what would happen next and if Valerian would find him.
