MK
ᯓᡣ𐭩 Right by your side the second you wake up. Very physically affectionate all day, giving you little kisses and crushing hugs wherever he can squeeze them in. Keeps checking his phone nervously though, which makes you a bit worried... you try to put it aside
ᯓᡣ𐭩 Goes all-out with tacky gifts. Chocolate hearts, flowers, plushies, you name it! He gives you at least a two months' supply of candy, each present having a sappy note and doodle of the two of you attached. You both stay in for most of the day, but come afternoon MK's anxious checking gets more frequent
ᯓᡣ𐭩 Before you can finally ask about it, he's quickly getting you out the door. He insists it's nothing, but he's an absolutely horrible liar when it comes to you. Still, you do your best to just trust him, and accept the awkward cart ride down the streets of Megapolis, watching the sky slowly deepen its hues into the forming dusk
ᯓᡣ𐭩 Once you start stepping out the cart, you're surprised to see a picnic blanket set out. You swore you could hear someone quickly driving off as MK cheers under his breath. He wraps an arm around your shoulder, gives you a big cheek kiss, proudly announcing your surprise stargazing picnic date. It's still quite a while before the stars are visible, so he works on preparing the food as you sit right next to him. Turns out there was no reason to worry after all
Mei
ᯓᡣ𐭩 Way too excited to wait and wakes you up early. She rushed a messy breakfast for the two of you, your whole home now being covered in cheesy Valentine decorations. Her favorite novelty for the holiday is those heart candies with little messages on them, which she offers you as soon as you're fully up
ᯓᡣ𐭩 Takes you on a ride on her bike! You have a helmet, of course, but she can't resist the urge to show off some new tricks she'd been practicing for you. Takes your arm wherever you two walk and makes a big show of opening doors for you as you re-visit all your favorite hangout spots
ᯓᡣ𐭩 You get to wear her jacket for the whole day, which makes Mei really giddy. It's cliché maybe, but seeing you walking around in it feels like all those trashy romance movies come to life. The easiest way to make her swoon in return is to play into her over-the-top antics, especially if you return some of the gestures
ᯓᡣ𐭩 By the time you're home again, you're both pretty worn out. Mei sleepily promises you she'll take down the decorations, but falls asleep in your lap the second you two rest on the couch for a minute. You pull up a blanket and drape it over the both of you, resigned to the fact that it would have to wait until tomorrow. Sleep catches up with you soon after
Red Son
ᯓᡣ𐭩 You wake up on your own time, but Red Son has obviously been anxiously awaiting your presence. You get handed a small mountain of presents before you're even done with breakfast, ranging from handmade to totally-not-stolen expensive ones. He gets embarrassed if you give him a gift in return, no matter how small it is
ᯓᡣ𐭩 If he's in his classic villain days, he'll offer to literally burn down anything you want. No matter the demand, he'll get it done for you. He'll scorch your name on the street if you let him. If he's more into his hero arc, he'll instead offer to take you out for a drive in one of his cars (as you came to learn, he's built several for himself)
ᯓᡣ𐭩 Whatever you do he'd prefer it be outside because his parents will not stop teasing you two. Every time you're near each other they joke about what a good couple you make, or how well you handle their son's temper. It's all in good fun, but it's also deeply embarrassing for Red Son, so he gets out the lair quick
ᯓᡣ𐭩 No matter what you choose to do, the day is ended with a romantic dinner. You're practically swamped with presents by now, thinking about where you're going to put them all. Red Son can barely focus on the food. He's too busy thinking about what led to you two getting to this point, almost worryingly quiet with contemplation. He's oddly shy with holding your hand on the walk back to the vehicle
Wukong
ᯓᡣ𐭩 Most likely the one sleeping in. You decide to gently wake him, planting soft kisses around the pink mask that circles his eyes. He wakes slowly, pulling you with him until you're trapped in his arms. It takes some playful back-and-forth before he finally gets up for the day, but he comments that spending the day lazing around in bed sounded pretty perfect to him
ᯓᡣ𐭩 Honestly if he does somehow wake up early he might think it's funny to try and pretend he forgot. Acts all clueless when you look confused at everything being exactly the same. This crumbles quickly though cause he hates seeing you upset and gives up on the surprise the second a disappointed frown crosses your face
ᯓᡣ𐭩 Picks a bunch of vibrant flowers from around Flower Fruit Mountain and presents them to you at breakfast. From there most of his gifts are small trinkets, little things you can carry with you all the time. Tries to act all smooth for the whole day and keeps his tail wrapped around you at all times. Will 100% hand-feed you chocolates from one of those heart boxes
ᯓᡣ𐭩 His idea of a perfect date is one at home. You could do a movie marathon of anything you want, or maybe take a stroll around the mountain. Coming from such an... 'exciting' past, he feels comfortable doing simple and domestic things with you. Dips into being sappy, reminding you just how much it means to him that you're here
Macaque
ᯓᡣ𐭩 Waits patiently for you to wake up. He gets everything ready in the meantime— nothing big, but the home is clean and all the little chores are done so you have the whole day to focus on each other. Greets you first thing with a soft forehead kiss, and reveals early that he has a surprise for you. But, of course, you have to wait to see it
ᯓᡣ𐭩 All his gifts are handmade. The one that stands out the most being two small yarn mandarin ducks, which he was the most nervous to present. They're a symbol of long-lasting love and devotion, the perfect subtle show of how he feels without him having to struggle to put it into direct words
ᯓᡣ𐭩 He keeps saying you didn't have to give him anything, but you did anyways. No matter how hard he tries to fall back on his mask of being aloof, you take time to make sure he feels just as loved as you do. It's one of the many, many reasons he fell for you. Not the greatest at showing appreciation in the moment, but he'll hold on to anything you get for him for ages
ᯓᡣ𐭩 The surprise comes at the end of the day, where he takes you to an area of the home he set up to have very dim lights. You watch as he twists around the shadows, morphing them into different shapes for you. Your favorite animal, images of the two of you, anything to see that sparkle of awe in your eyes. He tells a story of the once forgotten warrior finding a new purpose in another, detailing how they built their home together
Chang'e
ᯓᡣ𐭩 Like so many mornings before, you wake up to the smell of something cooking. There wasn't much to do on the moon, so Chang'e kept herself busy with inventing recipes for audiences to follow at home. You shuffle into the kitchen to see her wrapping up a Valentine's Day special for her show, many trays of treats setting out to cool. As soon as the cameras are off, she skates over and spins you around in a greeting hug
ᯓᡣ𐭩 She happily let you know that now that the special was over, you could eat all you wanted! Upon scanning closer, you realized something— she'd made all your favorite desserts specifically. When questioned, she just gave you a wink, taking a bite of one while saying it must have been a coincidence
ᯓᡣ𐭩 After that, the two of you go skating. You have a pair of shoes similar to Chang'e's, allowing you to glide across the moon's surface without getting stopped by craters or other bumps. She holds your hand as you skate by her side, occasionally adding little spins as you orbit around each other like the many planets that surround you
ᯓᡣ𐭩 To end it all off, the two of you take a moment to sit back and look at the stars. Her robotic helpers surround you both, sitting comfortably around you two. You watch the stars as she watches you. Years in isolation with nothing but baking to keep her company had been hard, even if she often deflects from admitting it. Having you there at all, especially right next to her, made her chest feel full with affection and gratitude
love how in the pilot Red Son is like "only those *deemed worthy* can wield it (Monkey King's staff)" when in the novel it's just Really Fucking Heavy like so heavy *dragons* couldn't lift it and Monkey King just happened to have the correct level of inhuman strength to lift it
