Finally got the courage to ask something, how do you imagine the wedding between king red and MK would go? would mk try to make a move to escape? would it be something more private or more of a big celebration so king red can show his beautiful MK? How composed would King red be? would he be snuggling by MK's side the whole party?
sorry if those are a lot of questions😅
I love your work! writing or art-wise 💖😊
Thank you!! I love getting these questions about scenarios in my various AUs, it's really fun to answer them :D
As for the wedding itself, Demon King Red would definitely pull out all the stops for this event. It's a celebration of MK and his love for him, so of course he wants it to be extravagant to show that off. Also, he's a king now, so he wants to use the celebration as an excuse to flaunt that power as well. All his allies are invited, of course, and he's excited for the demon lords to meet the man that he built this court for in the first place. He's got a grand ceremony in store as well as an amazing banquet and party afterwards. The whole day (and day before honestly) he's absolutely giddy and can't seem to calm down or stop smiling for a second. Marrying MK, to be bound to him forever in that way, is the one thing in the world he wants more than anything, and when it's finally close he can't contain his excitement. He catches on fire a lot in the hours leading up to it just out of sheer anticipation.
As for MK, he absolutely tries to escape. He's been trying the whole week he's been stuck with Red to find a way out of there, but the immobilizing bracelets he's been outfitted with will stop him in his tracks if he leaves the boundaries of the palace. Not to mention they also activate when he tries to fight, and Red can even activate them remotely with the push of a button for whatever reason he chooses. MK has never been the planning type, so he is having a really difficult time coming up with a way to get out of there.. plus, the whole week before the wedding, almost every second of the day is spent being dragged around the palace by King Red as he fawns over him. He wants to spend that time plotting or looking for a way to get out of this situation, but he finds it hard to focus while that's all going on. It makes MK sick to his stomach to have to bear the affection of this demon who literally kidnapped and tortured him.
Since he's having such a hard time getting out of it through force, he tries several times to make Red understand that he does NOT LOVE HIM. And frankly, Red doesn't even really know what love IS! But things are definitely worse off than even in MK's previous imprisonment- Red Son wasn't exactly stable before, but it's made clear pretty quickly that Demon King Red has completely lost his mind. Nothing MK says to him will convince him to call off this wedding.
When at last the day arrives, MK realizes with a dawning dread that he's out of time. His friends haven't found him, and he's no closer to getting out of this than he was the first day he arrived in the palace. In his terror he fights every second he's able.. servants come to dress him for the day? He struggles until the bracelets activate, and he drops to the floor, unable to pull his wrists and ankles apart. Even then, he doesn't stop wiggling and trying to make it as hard for these demons as possible to get him ready for this nightmare of a day he's about to have.
So, he spends most of the day like that, immobilized as servants come in and out to get him ready and poke and prod him to make him presentable for their king. MK wants to cry (and does, a lot) but nobody will listen to his pleas for mercy.
Finally, MK is brought to the ceremony, already in progress (at least he managed to delay enough with his passive resistance that he was a bit late) and he's still immobilized from struggling before, so he has to be literally carried in... though it's on a beautiful golden palanquin so at least it's not totally undignified. Red pulls him off the conveyance and sets him down in a kneeling position in front of the altar. He begs Red one last time, face streaked with tears, to please not go through with this... the king just looks at him with a dreamy smile, his own eyes look almost unfocused. He hasn't heard a word MK said. Or if he did, he's made up some excuse for it in his own head, because he just leans in and takes MK's hands in his own, telling him not to be nervous and they're going to be so so happy together... Forever!
Before MK can decide what to do next (he is deciding between screaming until his lungs give out and waiting to be handed his tea cup for the tea ceremony and then throwing it on Red's family shrine) that becomes irrelevant, because finally, mercifully, Sun Wukong arrives and crashes the wedding.
