Chapter Text
Late evening creeps on Megapolis. All the towns people are finally clocking out and heading home after a long day's work. Pigsy grabs his keys from behind the counter and swings them around while giving a playful whistle. Tang closes the book he's reading while returning his bowl of eaten noodles to the sink.
"You better wash that." Pigsy mutters.
"I will, don't worry." Tang hums.
He starts the sink up as Pigsy leans against the counter, waiting for his partner to finish. The pork's eyes lands on the book the scholar was reading:
Legends of the Six Eared Macaque. A forbidden Dimond in the Rough.
Pigsy chuckled and shook his head.
"So, you got your eyes set on Macaque, ey?" He asked.
Tang nearly dropped the bowl in his hand, quickly grabbing it as to not break it in the sink. Pigsy would never forgive him is he broke one of his precious cutlery.
"W-what?" Tang stuttered. "Wh-what makes you say that?"
Pigsy rolled his eyes and walked over to the book, snatching it in his hands.
"First off, this." Pigsy said smugly. "Secondly, he's all you've been able to talk about for a while. Even when I try to get you to change the subject, you somehow direct the conversation back to the guy. It's kinda obvious."
Tang remained silent, only the sound of the water faucet turning off and the clashing of bowls could be heard. He placed the bowl back in its place before sighing and turning to Pigsy.
"He's just...nice." Tang muttered, placing a hand on the back of his neck. "Really, really, nice."
"Well, why not go for him?" Pigsy asked. "If you enjoy him so much, why not try it out? Give it a chance, why don't ya?"
"You sure you would be fine with that? I know this whole polyamory thing is new to you. I don't want to just go and be with another if you're not completely on board."
"Hon, we've talked about this."
Pigsy walked close to Tang, grabbing his hand. He shuddered a bit due to Tang's hand still being wet from cleaning the bowl.
"I'm new to this stuff, yeah but I'm not dumb either." Pigsy reassured. "I know how this stuff works. You still love me and you also love others. Who am I to say how many people you can love, hm?"
"Pigsy, I just..."
"Tang. I'm alright with it. Please don't worry about it."
"You're not lying to me right?"
"Swear on my heart, hope to die."
Tang smiled and rubbed Pigsy's hand with his thumb. The swine quickly pulled away, causing Tang to panic a bit.
"What?" Tang asked frantically.
"Hon, your hand is wet." Pigsy replied.
"Oh, heh." Tang chuckled.
He relaxed a bit as he grabbed a rag Pigsy used to dry the dishes and quickly dried his hand.
"You ready to go?" Pigsy asked, grabbing his keys again and handing the book back to Tang.
Tang nodded and leaned into Pigsy, both in each other's arms as they waddled out of the restaurant. Both laughed as they walked out the door, Pigsy locking up for the night after a long day.
----------------------
Tang locked the door behind him to his apartment. He sighed, relaxing his shoulders a bit after a long day. Pigsy really never stops working, even when MK was training. Having to deal with rude customers, last minute canceled orders, making the food yet being the cashier at the same time, was something Tang will never understand. He'll happily just be the freeloader while helping MK on his missions every once in a while. With all the free food and the lazy nature the scholar emmited, it was a wonder how Pigsy, one of the most hard working creatures on earth, fell for him. Maybe he just had a sort of charm to him.
Tang chuckled and shook his head.
"Charm." He muttered to himself. "Yeah, right."
Tang then began to close his curtains, walking to his living room as he got undressed. A nice bath would do him well after spuing more stories of the legendary Monkey King to the wide-eyed MK. Though, even when he talked about The King himself, Tang always seemed to trail off to...him.
Tang then realized he was still clutching the book he was reading earlier. Half un-dressed, he sat down on his couch and flipped through the pages until his book mark appeared. He smiled to himself unknowingly as he began to continue his reading on the shadow demon.
Something about the creature mesmerized him. The way his teeth poked out as he smiled, his low raspy voice, his calm yet aggressive nature, his mysterious dirty gold eyes; all of this just stuck out to Tang. They were definitely characteristics no book could ever capture.
His curiosity filled him when he first met the demon at the Ring of Light festival. They were able to meet up after all the important events conspired afterwards and talk every now and then. They grew on friendly terms as Macaque would die down on the harsh teasing he did to most people. On rare occasions, Macaque would allow Tang to study his person for research. The most he was allowed to touch was Macaque's stomach and, if he was lucky, his face. Everything else seemed to get to the demon jumpy.
Tang never pressured Macaque to do anything, though he wished he was allowed to explore more of his body in order to finally figure the demon out. Macaque always seemed to keep his gaze on Tang when the scholar put his hands on him. The gaze was always sharp, not letting the scholar's hands out of his sight. Though, Tang couldn't help but wonder if there was more to his look than what meets the eye.
Tang sighed and closed the book with a slam, rubbing his eyes. It was getting late and his body felt filthy from staying at the restaurant all day. Not to mention, the air hitting his exposed chest was starting to get to him.
Tang stood up, stretching a bit before clearing his vision.
Suddenly, he jumps back in fear and surprise. His floor was full of dark shadowy clouds. Tang jumped on the couch, trying to avoid the purple fog pooling on the ground. After a bit of panic, his mind then clicked in realization.
Tang thought to himself. "Purple, shadow-like fog..."
His eyes the glistened with relief as he realized who was causing this.
"Macaque?" He called out.
"The one and only." a raspy, mysterious voice whispered.
Tang whipped his head around frantically, trying to locate the demon. A loud chuckled boomed through his small living room space.
"Calm yourself Tang." Macaque said slyly, emerging from a shadow in the wall. "It's just me."
Tang sighed in relief as he placed his feet on the ground, the fog disappearing slightly. Tang sat on his couch, recovering from the slight scare. Macaque smiled and tilted his head to the side, slowly approaching Tang.
"Did I scare you that badly?" Macaque asked with a tease in his voice.
"No, no." Tang assured, his breath returning. "Your dark clouds on the ground just startled me."
"Ah, good to hear. I really didn't wanna scare ya but, I hate knocking so."
Tang and Macaque chuckled at the demon's jest.
"So uh..." Tang began. "What are you doing here so late?"
"No reason." Macaque said, looking around the room. "I was in the neighborhood and thought I should stop by."
Macaque eyes Tang's pecks, his tail whipping around slightly harder.
"You look nice." Macaque muttered, his eyes slightly hooded.
Tang's face turned red from embarssment, realizing he was shirtless in front of his newly found crush. Tang quietly looked around frantically for something to cover himself with, Macaque's grin widening with amusement.
"Oh! Gods, I'm so sorry!" Tang apologized. "I was in the middle of getting ready to shower and you just so happened to show up. Let me put something on-"
"I mean, I don't mind."
Tang jerked back as he felt Macaque's face an inch away from his. He didn't even notice the demon approach him so rapidly. Tang's heart raced as his face turned even more red. Slowly, Macaque's words processed in his head.
"W-what?" Tang asked, not sure if he heard him right.
"I said, I don't mind." Macaque replied, his voice slightly lower as his eyes preyed on Tang's person. "It's your place after all."
Tang then began to focused on Macaque’s demeanor. The demon seemed...riled up. His tail slashed back and forth, his eyes were lidded while staring at the scholar, his cheeks were pink, and Tang could feel the heat radiating off of his body. He seemed bothered but Tang couldn't figure out from what.
He stood up, Macaque quickly shifting his eyes to meet him as he stood straight as well. Macaque walked closer to Tang, though hesitating with every step.
"Hey Tang?" Macaque asked in a breathy voice.
"Yes?" Tang asked nervously as he noticed drool dripping down Macaque's lips.
"I, uh...I was wondering if you..."
Macaque hid his face in his scarf, looking away from the scholar.
"If you, uh..." The demon mumbled.
"Yes?" Tang asked with eagerness.
"I mean, do you have anything you wanna take notes on about me or...?"
"What? Why?"
"I don't know. I was wondering if you wanted to study me tonight."
Macaque seemed so hesitant. It looked like the demon was fighting himself with what he truly wanted to say. Macaque’s hands shook as his tail whipped around against the floor harshly, his chest heaving with heavy breath. Suddenly, it all clicked in Tang's head; the real reason Macaque was here.
Tang reached out and slowly placed his fingers on Macaque’s waist. The demon sighed loudly in response, only reafirming Tang's theory.
"Is that all you want me to do to you?" Tang asked with a sly tone.
Macaque's eyes were filled with lust, his hands hesitantly reaching for Tang's face. Tang carried on with his talk.
"Why are you really here tonight? Do you want something from me? Maybe more than just a study?"
"Fuck, Tang..." Macaque whispered, his breath so heavy, Tang could feel the pressure against him. "I just...Gods, how do I even explain this?"
Tang went in for a hug as Macaque stood in shock at the sudden embrace. The scholar placed his hand on the back on Macaque’s neck, his other hand drawing large, slow circles on the demon's back. Macaque gritted his teeth as to not make an intimate sound. He didn't want to scare Tang away. Tang merely smiled, enjoying this sence of power he had over the demon. This was the most intimate he's gotten with him after all.
"Take your time explaining." Tang assured. "I'm not going anywhere."
Macaque slowly wrapped his arms around Tang, his tail tieing itself to the scholar's waist.
"Well..." Macaque began as he tried to steady his breathing. "There's this thing that stone primates go through every now and then.
"Mhm."
"And it's where...uh, well...we need to, uh..."
"Don't be shy. Just say it."
"We're we need to... mate..."
Macaque whispered the last word but Tang heard him loud and clear. He pondered for a bit before nodding to himself, preparing for what's to come.
"So it's mating season for you?" Tang asked.
Macaque nodded, gripping Tang tightly. Tang chuckled and moved his head from Macaque's shoulder, facing him.
The demon leaked drool, his pupils glaring at Tang's lips as though he was starved his whole life and Tang was the main course.
"Well, do you want my help to, um...relieve you?"
Macaque nodded harshly, his tail pulling Tang even closer to his chest. Tang grabbed his glasses and tossed it on the table next to them. He quickly grabbed Macaque's face, kissing him passionately. The demon moaned into his mouth, digging his tounge into Tang. Tang pulled out, gasping for air.
"You alright?" Macaque asked.
"Yes, yes, absolutely." Tang assured through his breath. "That just suprised me."
Macaque then placed his lips on Tang once more, guiding the both of them to the couch. Tang felt himself being layed down carefully as Macaque crawled on top of him, his eyes hungrier than ever. Tang quietly winced as he felt Macaque connect his waist with his, continuing their make-out session.
They rocked up and down slighty, Tang's hand gliding underneath Macaque shirt. The demon quickly remembered he was fully dressed and began yanking off his clothes, Tang's eyes admiring his scar-filled body.
Both were now shirtless, Macaque too distracted by Tang's lips to remove his bottom half of clothing. Macaque pressed his lips on Tang's once again as he began to rut himself against the scholar's waist in rhythmic fashion. Tang whined loudly into Macaques mouth, causing the demon to moan in response. Tang then got an idea.
"C-can I kiss l-lower?" He asked, his voice shakey from how worked up he was.
"Yes, please." Macaque huffed. "Anything. Just do anything to me."
Tang smiled as he caught his breath. He pushed Macaque back as he sat up, placing himself in the demon's lap. Both felt so heated, Macaque thrusting his hips into Tang with every chance he got.
Tang placed his hand on the back of Macaque's head, guiding his head to the right to expose his neck. It was littered in scars, entire histories being mapped across his furry skin.
That was another thing Tang noticed. The demon's skin should be rough due to how many wars and fights he's been in. For someone who's been revived from the dead, his skin was remarkablely soft; it was soothing in its own comforting way.
Tang's heart skipped a beat as his eyes admired the rough-looking Macaque. He might have taken too long with his staring as Macaque began clawing into the scholar's back. Tang let out a hiss through his teeth, bucking his hips with Macaque's in response.
"Ca-carful." Tang said, gripping Macaque's arms.
"Sorry, sorry." Macaque breathed out. "Please, just be rough with me Tang. I need you're lips on me, please."
Tang felt Macaque's hand grip into his waist tightly as he begged quietly into his ear; the words, please, please, please Tang, please being repeated over and over again. Tang let out a shuddery sigh as he lowered his head to Macaque's neck.
His nose grazed gently against his skin. Macaque shuddered as he felt soft yet passionate kisses on his neck, licking and bitting soflty into him every once in a while. Macaque moaned louder, his heavy breathing devolving into audible groans. Tang's kisses become more rough as his nips turned to bites, his tounge gratting against the demon's fur. The scholar decended into the demon's chest, biting and sucking on what ever surface he had available to him.
He felt the huge tent form in Macaque's pants as the shadow demon pitifully thrusted and whined for more. Tang had warmed up enough. He needed Macaque. He needed him inside him.
"Gods, let me fuck you." Tang pleaded through his breaths.
Macaque looked up in suprise. His body was drunk with lust yet he was too nervous to ask Tang for anything more. Thank the Buddha the scholar wanted the same thing he did.
Without delay, Macaque gripped the rope he used as a belt and tugged it off, trying to slip his lower body clothing off. As he struggled, he felt Tang's warm hands yank the rest of the cloth off of him, leaving nothing but his bear skin and his dick standing up straight. Pre-cum was already drizzling out of him, the heat in the room only amplifying. Tang was consumed why the lustful aura and began ripping his own clothes off, Macaque assisting him hastily as well.
Macaque then paused when Tang was fully unclothed. Tang, confused, directed his gaze towards where Macaque was looking at. He then remembered-
"Oh!" Tang exclaimed, embarssment filling him.
Macaque had been staring at the area between his legs. There lacked a rather vital genital that Macaque was expecting to find.
"I, uh...I wasn't born a man." Tang stuttered nervously.
He grabbed the back of his neck and looked away from Macaque. Macaque then looked up at Tang's shamed face as he felt the scholar slowly removing himself from his position.
"I-I'm sorry." Tang muttered. "I-I didn't really think this through. I-"
"I don't mind." Macaque assured suddenly.
Tang whipped his head back at Macaque who stared at him with the same lustful look as before.
"What?" Tang asked.
"I don't mind. Dick or not, you're still a guy to me." Macaque joked.
"B-but, this isn't odd for you?"
Macaque shook his head.
"Not at all."
Macaque grabbed Tang's thighs, his tail dragging the scholar back to his original position. The slight friction caused the both of them to sigh and groan. He rubbed his hands on Tang's soft thighs as he gently kissed his cheek.
"It really doesn't matter to me Tang." Macaque managed to huff out.
Tang felt himself collapse in the demon's arms, hugging him close while rolling his hips. Macaque kissed Tang's shoulders, trying to comfort him. Tang kissed Macaque's neck lovingly in response.
"Thank you." Tang whimpered.
"F-for what?" Macaque asked.
Tang pulled back, sitting up in the demon's lap. Macaque stared at his face, his eyes gleaming with a sence of admiration. Tang smiled at Macaque, the demon chuckling and giving back a half smile.
"I thought you'd get mad at me." Tang said, his voice a near whisper. "I've been hurt before when people find out."
Macaque furrowed his brows and shook his head.
"People are monsters." Macaque slured out.
He grabbed Tang tightly, resting his head in his chest while looking up at the scholar. Both eyes felt heavy as their faces grew closer.
"How could someone hurt a gem like you?" Macaque breathed out.
Tang slid his hands on Macaque’s face, kissing him with rigorous passion. Once and a while, the words "thank you, thank you, thank you", were huffed out before they continued to lock lips.
Tang felt Macaque's cock pry at his entrance, the demon practically leaving a puddle of drool on the scholar's lips. Tang looked into Macaque's eyes, the demon silently pleading to let him be inside the other. Tang nodded, kissing him as Macaque slid his cock slowly into the scholar.
Tang threw his head back, letting out a loud mewl as he squirmed in the demon's lap.
"Oh, fuck! Tang!" Macaque cried out, his eyes slamming shut as every lewd sound poured out of his mouth.
Tang layed his head on the demon's shoulder as he bit and sucked on him passionately. He was rough, licking and bitting any part of Macaque's body that his mouth could land on. Macaque squirmed and bucked his hips as Tang bounced in his lap for friction.
"Fuck, Tang! Fuck!" Macaque cried out, huffing with every breath.
Tang moaned and whined into Macaque's ear, giving it a small nip. Both rocked back and forth, wincing and groaning into each other's ears. Tang then decided to do something impulsive. He grabbed Macaque's hair and yanked down, the demon letting out a surpised gasp. Tang quickly let go.
"A-are you ok?" Tang asked in a worry.
Macaque quickly grabbed Tang's face, pulling it to the side as he bit down harshly on his neck. The scholar gasped and mewled as the demon sucked on his bite. A low growl can be heard in his ear.
"Don't you dare fucking stop." Macaque demanded in a snarl.
Tang shuddered in pleasure, his hand returning to the back of Macaque's head. He yanked down, Macaque's letting his head be pulled back as he cried out in bliss. Tang kissed and bit down on Macaque’s shoulder, this time drawing blood. He licked his wound as an apology, the demon huffing and whining loudly.
Tang suddenly felt Macaque's hips buck and grind on their own against the scholar's weight. Tang moaned louder as they both picked up their pace, thrusting and grinding on rhythmic fashion. He felt Macaque's head land on his shoulder, the demon's voice reduced to pure whimpers.
"I-I'm gonna c-cum." Macaque stuttered through his moans.
Tang lifted Macaque's head to force the demon's gaze onto his eyes. He smiled as slammed himself harder into the demon. Macaque's eyes rolled back as his whiney voice only grew louder.
"Cum with me Macaque." Tang whispered. "Come on. Cum with me, cum with me my dimond. That's it, come on."
Macaque and Tang moaned loudly, barley able to hear all the other lewd sounds. Macaque grabbed the couch tightly, his other hand harshly rubbing against Tang's thigh.
"Oh, fuck! Oh, fuck! Oh, fuck, God's, oh fuck!" The demon cried out.
"God's, please Macaque!" Tang groaned loudly.
Both kept getting faster and faster until they reached their limit. Tang threw his head back while screaming out a moan as Macaque came inside of him; filling him up. Macaque cried out as he felt Tang wrap around his member tightly, cuming with him at the same time.
Both huffed as they grinded slowly against each other, basking in the after glow. They both shook vigorously, Tang placing soft kisses on the demons cheeks. Macaque’s voice eventually returned to its normal rasp unlike the whimpering mess he just was. He looked up at the scholar, both wearing a fucked-out look on their faces.
"Gods..." Macaque began. "I just...wow. I didn't think this was how tonight was gonna go."
"Oh?" Tang asked. "What do you mean?"
"Well...I was planning on leaving before the heat got the best of me."
Macaque reached out to hug Tang but retreated quickly.
"I...I didn't wanna ruin what we had." He muttered. "You're a great friend. You're smart, funny, expressive; I love hearing you talk about pretty much anything, even if I don't always get it."
Tang listened carefully as the demon averted his gaze out of embarssment.
"I don't know what's wrong with me. When this time of year hits, I usually, uh...take care of myself. I never needed someone else...until you showed up."
Tang's eyes glistened, his heart pounding in his chest.
"I, um...Gods this is embarrassing to admit."
"It's ok." Tang reassured.
He slowly cupped Macaque's face, the demon nuzzeling into it. He sighed as he continued his story.
"...I just...do you remember that one time we met up on the side of an old abandoned training ground?"
"...Oh! Yes, I do remember."
"Well...you remember how you wanted to do one of your studies on me?"
"Mhm."
"That was, uh...that was when the season just started. I uh, I thought that I could handle it. In my head I was thinking, "We're just friends. It really won't do much to me." But then you did this one motion where you trailed your finger agaisnt my stomach and placed your hands on me while pressing down. That...I don't know why but...you somehow managed to get me... extremely worked up."
"Is that why you left early?"
"Mhm."
"Oh, thank the Gods! I thought you were mad at me."
"What!? No! No, no not at all!"
Tang smiled at the demon. He then slowly wrapped his arms around him, hugging him close. Macaque stood still, not sure why Tang was hugging him. They finished their buisness so why was Tang still embracing him? Did he want to go for another round? What was this?
"T-Tang." Macaque stuttered.
"Yes?" He responded.
"W-why...why are you hugging me?"
"I saw you trying to hug me earlier. Did I miss understand? Do you want me to let go?"
The demon then gave in and wrapped his arms around Tang, his tail curling around the scholar's thigh.
"N-no." Macaque muttered. "Please don't let go. Please."
The last "please" sounded painful. Almost like the demon was holding back tears. Tang furrowed his brows in worry as he drew circles in Macaque's back, kissing his shoulders lovingly.
"Are you ok?" Tang asked soflty.
"...I don't know." Macaque replied. "I don't know why I want you so badly. It doesn't make sence to me. Why do I want to kiss you every day? Why do I want you to be the first thing I wake up to every morning?"
Tang let a huge smile spread across his face as he caringly nuzzled himself into Macaque. It was nice knowing the demon felt the same way for him.
"You're so perfect. You're wonderful. A gem hidden in the sand that I was lucky enough to spot." The demon praised.
Macaque then shot up, cold sweat forming throughout his body. Tang let go of his embrace in suprise and looked at the demon.
"Wait." Macaque said with a sterness in his voice. "Aren't you with Pigsy?"
"Uh, yeah?" Tang replied, confused as to why Macaque would want to know.
The demon's eyes shot wide open with fear. He cupped his face with his hands.
"Oh my Gods. I'm a home wrecker." He muttered.
Tang's eyes widen, realizing he never told Macaque he was in an open relationship.
"Wait, no, no you're not!" Tang exclaimed frantically.
Macaque looked at Tang with a mix of fear and confusion.
"What?" He asked.
"You're not a home wrecker." Tang replied. "I'm polyamorous. Me and Pigsy agreed to have an open relationship. He even told me to go for you!"
Macaque blinked in suprise at the news. He then sighed in relief, his heart rate calming down a bit.
"Oh, thank the Heavens." Macaque huffed out. "You had me terrified for a second."
"Don't worry, heh." Tang chuckled. "Trust me, I wouldn't have let you do anything to me if I was monogamous."
"True."
Macaque looked over at Tang's desk, a particular book catching his eye. He then laughed, Tang looking at the demon in confusion.
"Were you reading about me?" Macaque chuckled.
Tang's face turned red.
"Uh...no?" He said.
Macaque laughed louder, his toothy smile returning to warm Tang's heart. Tang laughed back in embarssment, Macaque hugging him close.
"You're so amazing." Macaque praised. "My sweet dimond. Can I call you that? My dimond?"
Tang felt his heart skip a beat as he nodded aggressively into Macaque's shoulder.
"Yes, absolutely!" He replied with glee.
Macaque smiled as he felt Tang plant soft kisses on his shoulder. It's been a while since he's been treated with such love and care. One could get used to this rather quickly. Macaque purred into Tang's ear, the scholar finding it amusing as he slowly rubbed Macaque's sides up and down.
After a few minutes of this, Macaque pulled back. The both sat in each other's laps, staring at each other with shimmering eyes.
"I, uh...I think I should start heading home." The demon said with a sorrow in his tone.
Tang nodded and looked down. His eyes then widened at what he saw.
"Oh, uh..." Tang muttered. "You uh, you never pulled out."
Macaque looked down and, sure enough, Tang was right. Macaque scoffed in amusement before shaking his head.
"Sorry, heh." The demon said. "Let me just..."
Macaque slowly pulled out of the scholar, Tang squirming and quietly whincing. The demon watched as Tang covered his face and gripped the side of the couch, the sight so lewd that it tempted Macaque to go for a second round. He'd resist though as Tang looked like he could barley handle being teased at this point. Macaque sighed loudly as he felt himself exit the scholar's insides.
He wrapped his arms around Tang, laying him down gently once more. He trailed kisses from his cheek all the way down to his pecks. Tang let out a shuddery breath as he looked down at the demon placing his loving lips on his body. Macaque looked up at Tang, smiling to himself. He moved close go Tang's face and kissed him soflty on the lips, letting it linger there for a moment before pulling away.
"Gods, I'd kill to see you like this every day." Macaque murmured.
Tang smiled and cupped the shadow demon's face, rubbing his thumb against his cheek.
"I would love that." He replied.
"I'm guess there's gonna be a second time then?" Macaque asked, a smirk plastered on his face.
"Oh, absolutely."
"I'm guessing your place again, right?"
"Mhm. Let's do it on the bed next time, alright?"
"That's fine by me."
Tang smiled, looking down sheepishly as he grabbed Macaque's hands.
"I was actually wondering something though." The scholar said.
"Hm? What is it?" Macaque asked.
"I was...um...I was hoping if you'd like to...have dinner with me first?"
Macaque's eyes widen at the request. Was Tang really asking him out on a date? The demon hadn't gone on a date for years. The last person he was with was...no. Macaque mentally shook his head. He refused to remember him.. Not now at least.
He looked at the scholar and stared into his eyes, his pupils shimmering as he waited for an answer. Macaque smiled, letting a sharp fang poke out. Maybe it was time he give the dating life another chance. After all, he trusted Tang enough to know he'd never hurt him. Not like him.
"Uh...sure!" The demon said.
Tang beamed a smile, bouning a bit in his couch. Macaque could only chuckle as his heart melted at the sight of his dimond radiating glee.
"W-wonderful!" Tang exclaimed. "Where? What time?"
"I'm free whenever! And the place...uh..."
Macaque pondered for a moment.
"I...actually don't know any places other than Pigsy's." He said with a giggle.
"Oh! That's fine! I'm actually a restaurant connoisseur so I'd be happy to show you some new places!" Tang said, his glasses fogging up from his excitment.
"Heh, go ahead. Your the expert on food places here."
Macaque crawled off of Tang, forcefully unwrapping his tail from the scholar's thigh. Both chuckle as Tang had to readjust his leg in order for the tail to come loose.
Macaque folded his hands while gripping his tail as he stared at his clothes. They were disregarded during their love making in a disgruntled manner.
Macaque looked back as Tang who was now sitting on his knees, looking absolutely smitten and tired; an adorable mix that the scholar wore beautifully on his face.
"Listen Tang." Macaque began. "Anywhere you take me, I'll go. I'm...gonna take a huge leap here and trust you on this dating thing."
Tang nodded and smiled.
"I'm not about to dump my issues on to you but, I've been, uh...hurt before. But, I know you're a good person. I've been around you long enough to figure that out. So just...let's take this dating thing slow ok? Please don't expect much from me on the first or second date, or whatever." Macaque said, slumping slightly on the couch.
Tang gently rubbed rubbed Macaque's arm, the demon silently purring in response.
"I understand." Tang said. "Trust me, I have patience. Take all the time that you need."
Tang cupped Macaque's face, making the demon face him.
"A gem like you is worth waiting for."
Macaque's face went flushed, a smile creeping up on him. He stole one more long kiss from the scholar before getting up and grabbing his garments. He threw on his pants, not bothering to put his shirt on. He looked down at Tang who was still fully unclothed. He smiled, taking one last glance at him.
"Take care Tang. I'll see you...6 P.M. tomorrow?" The demon asked.
"I can do that! 6 P.M. tomorrow it is! Lets meet at the entrance to the shopping center!" Tang chirped.
Macaque smiled, letting a chuckle out at the joyful scholar.
"Alright. See ya then...my dimond."
In a blink of an eye, the demon was enraptured by the purple mist, leaving the scholar all by himself. Tang sighed, combing his hair with his fingers as layed back on the couch.
"Did that just happen?" Tang thought to himself.
The mess left on the couch was enough evidence. His mind raced with the memories of this recent event, his cheeks flushing as he remembered Macaque's sweet, whiney voice.
"People are monsters. How could someone hurt a gem like you?"
The words played in his head over and over again like a record. His heart skipped a beat as he smiled to himself.
Tang eventually got up, his legs wobbling a bit. He walked over to the bathroom, stealing a glance from the mirror. He looked absolutely wrecked, bite and hicky marks everywhere. Tang smiled and shook his head. He traced his fingers against the marks, humming to himself. The demon was ruthless while leaving marks. It looked like it could take days to heal. Thank the Heavens that Tang's preferred clothing were garments that would cover up most of his skin.
"Wow." Tang chuckled. "This is seriously going to be an interesting journey."
