instead of posting anything in my drafts I wrote a small father and daughter moment with Macaque and Bai He (lbd's host)
Macaque felt tugging at his scarf in a way that suggested that the culprit wasn't trying to rip it off. He turned his head to the side but could not see who it was. Though the giggling that followed confirmed it was Bai He currently clinging to him.
When the girl had first started to be around him more, something encouraged by MK to get him to interact with the others, he thought he would've gotten annoyed.
Now, Macaque resisted the urge to grin as he made a faked noise of confusion. "Hmm.. well it seems like no ones there.." he loudly said, making sure he sounded mildly puzzled. Which granted him another tug to his scarf and giggling.
Then he swung around, catching Bai He around her torso. She yelped but otherwise sounded delighted as she was lifted up and spun. The suprised noise turning into happy laughter.
"Aha! Gotcha!" he swung around with her, unable to keep the smile off of his face this time.
Neither noticed Wukong nearby leaning against a wall with his arms crossed. A fond smile on his face. He missed seeing Macaque's smile.
Sorry it's short, writers block sucks and it has me in its hold
