(TRIGGER WARNING: IMPLIED SELF HARM)
Mk sat down next to the sleeping fire demon he wanted to keep an eye on him in case Macaque came back, "he's loyal to his parents" those words that Macaque said rang through his ears, Mk felt bad he could really tell Red Son tried hard for his parents and by the looks of it his parents couldn't care less about what happened to their son. Mk let out a sigh before grabbing a spare blanket and falling asleep on the couch sitting up of course.
A few hours later Red Son woke up and looked around. There was a clock mounted on the wall and it read 2:30am the next day, "Fuck I've been sleeping for a while.." Red Son thought to himself before noticing Mk next to him. "Is he asleep?" Red Son thought as he moved closer to Mk "Shit he looks hot when he sleeps....stupid noodle boy..." Red Son added. The noodle boy was out cold which made the fire demon let out a sigh, he really wasn't in a talking mood now. Red Son stood up and got up before going to the kitchen for a glass of water. The fire demon filled a cup before drinking, while drinking, Red Son felt a sharp pain in his chest and clutched his chest. The fire demon placed the cup on the counter and pressed his back against the counter. The pain only began getting worse and he dropped down to his knees.
Red Son began panicking not knowing what to do, so he attempted everything he could do to relieve the pain, he took out his hair, took off the jumper and clutched his chest tighter. Red Sons' tail wrapped around him in an attempt of comfort and he removed his hand then realised he was bleeding. The fire demons' eyes widened and he began breathing heavily, Red Son took off his shirt attempting to see his wounds but when he did the pain hit him again. The fire demon attempted to stand up by grabbing onto the counter but failed miserably causing the glass cup to fall and shatter. Red Sons' eyes darted across the room as tears flowed down his cheeks. He heard a muffled voice but couldn't quite make out what it was saying, he was scared and in pain he began digging his nails into his skin trying to ignore the pain but this didn't work.. He began getting shaken and his hands pulled away which somehow managed to bring him to reality and it was then that he realised he was holding a glass shard and was holding it pretty tightly which made his hand bleed. "What happened...?" the fire demon thought he couldn't remember anything.
"Red Son!? Red Son?! Look at me!" the voice said which Red Son slowly realised that it was the noodle boy, "W-What....?" the fire demon stuttered out he was lost and confused. "Holy shit! Are you alright!?" Mk asked his voice full of worry as he stared at Red Son who was shaking and in tears, Red Son sat there unable to move, still in immense pain, Mk must've noticed this, "H-Hey stay here I'll get things to patch you up with" Mk said in a comforting tone before getting up and quickly rushing to his room. Red Son was left alone there, "W-why'd I? Did I...?" Red Son thought to himself he had one big question Why.....
Suddenly Mk came back and sat back down near Red Son with bandages. "Y-you okay firefly...?" Mk nervously asked as he stared at the fire demon his eyes filled with worry. Red Son stared at Mk for a moment before he hugged Mk and began sobbing into his chest. MKs' eyes widened but he quickly recovered from the shock and began stroking his hand through Red Sons' hair, "Shhh...It's alright firefly...cry as much as you want..."Mk said as he gently kissed the fire demons' head. "Wh-why..?" Red Son whimpered out, Mk stared at him, "Why what?" Mk asked, the fire demon held onto him tightly, "Why are y-you so kind to m-me?! I don't deserve t-this treatment..." Red Son sobbed, Mk grabbed his cheeks, "Because I can, and I will and because I'm not going to fucking let you slowly destroy yourself" Mk replied, hearing this made Red Son cry harder, "Everyone's gonna hate you I-f they f-find out..." the fire demon whimpered out, "Well fuck what they think!" Mk replied.
He's only ever felt a close connection with Macaque, but now he felt it again, but stronger he hated all of this...After around 5minutes Red Son began slowly calming down and Mk noticed, "How about I fix you up? Those hurt a lot, don't they..?" Mk said in a soothing tone as he stroked his hand through the fire demons' hair, Red Son nodded in response, Mk stared at Red Son for a moment, "Firefly are the bandages from the fight yesterday or did you....?" The noodle boy spoke up nervously, "From yesterday...I-I've never done t-this before...." Red Son replied he voice was soft and shaky. Hearing that Mk let out a sigh of relief but was also really confused, "If he's never done this before why would he do it now of all times...?" Mk thought to himself as he took off the old bandages which were soaked with blood. "Did you bandage yourself or did someone help?" the noodle boy asked, "M-Macaque did it...he always does..." Red Son replied as he winced before hiding his face in MKs' chest. "Guess Macaque really does care about him.." Mk thought before snapping back to reality.
"Sorry..."Mk said not wanting to hurt the smaller, the noodle boy began wrapping new bandages around the smallers' body and new wounds he inflicted on himself. Around 5minutes later Mk had the courage to ask, "Red...? Why'd you do this to yourself...?". Hearing this made the fire demon tense up to be honest he didn't know why he did this all he could remember was getting up for water then being in pain. "I-I don't know....I don't even remember doing it to myself..." Red Son shakily replied. Mk stared at him worriedly before continuing to wrap the bandages. Mk began bandaging the smallers' hand gently and once he was down he gently kissed his hand in an attempt to comfort him. Eventually finishing Mk offered to make something for Red Son to each but was denied. He couldn't blame the smaller if he wasn't hungry he was probably shaken up from the scenario.
"You wanna go rest now?" Mk asked as he carefully picked up Red Son. "Not tired..." the fire demon replied as he nuzzled into MKs' chest, "You sure? You look like you need the sleep" the noodle boy asked again, Red Son nodded "I just...want to be close to you..." Red Son said , "W-what are you going to do about the mess...?" the fire demon added nervously, Mk looked at the ground, there blood and glass shards across the floor. "I can clean it later, right now I need to stay with you" Mk replied as he carefully took Red Son into his bedroom and placed him on the bed. The noodle boy went to the closet and pulled out a jacket and shirt for the fire demon. He handed the clothing and let Red Son put the clothes on.
Mk sat down on the bed and pulled Red Son into his arms causing him to yelp out in surprise, "You wanted to stay close to me, didn't you?" Mk asked as he brought Red Son closer, the smaller blushed before nodding and hugging Mk. The two began cuddling while Mk stroked his hand through Red Sons' hair.
Not to MKs' surprise Red Son fell asleep pretty easily but couldn't blame him. The fire demon was on his lap fast asleep so defenceless. He softly kissed Red Sons' head this made the smaller smile softly before his tail loosely wrapped around Mk. "My firefly..." Mk said out softly
(Also MKs' Chinese name will be mentioned in the story "Qi Xiaotian")
