again, if you aren't in the first gen, please do not be alarmed. there will be a second gen after the healing series.

hope you have an amazing day!

I knocked on the door.

Sighing, I was very confused. It was very rare for Kai to text me out of the blue and say that he needed to speak to me. The last time he did so was months ago and that was for my opinion on a shirt that he bought. Which I thought looked really good. Once I told him what he needed to hear, he thanked me and I left.

Now, it wasn't as if Kai and I never spoke to each other. We did, loads. We were friends but weren't best friends. We still spoke comfortably with one another and it was never awkward if we were left in a room together. As much as my brother, Cole, doesn't want that. It was just the fact that he never texted me out of blue when we were still in the monastery. When either of us were on patrol?
Yeah. Just never at home.

I knocked in a pattern that we both used for each other, however, I believe that Zane is catching on but I am going to go about my day thinking he doesn't. The door opened hastily and his hand grabbed my arm and pulled me inside almost immediately. The force took the wind out of my lungs and my foot fell in front of the other, if I wasn't a ninja, I would've fell, but luckily I caught my footing. Although, my confusion grew and so did my irritation. Furrowing my brows, the words of anger were on the tip of my tongue but they never made it into words.

My eyes found his and the look of curiosity and innocence made me hold back. My heart skipped a beat at his gaze and the way he looked at me with adoration. There was probably something on my shirt that caught his eye. I shook it off in my head, trying to steady my brain and my heart.

With a deep sigh, I asked him the question that he failed to explain earlier, "why'd you call me? You okay?"

The red ninja licked his lips and flattened his hair on the sides, his hands travelling behind his neck. I looked at him at a slight angle as I tilted my head. Why was he nervous? I could tell he was. When the majority of his personality was confidence, his nervousness shone through like a flashlight in a dark forest. It pointed to the obvious and to what people don't see of him.

"Uh..yeah-" he cleared his throat. "I..I am fine." I smirked a little at him, amused by his emotions and his shyness.
"I wanted to tell you something." He then passed me and sat on his bed that was after me. I turned in bewilderment, asking myself what was so nerve-wreaking that he was sweating to tell me. If it was the fact that he was using my gel, then I already knew.
Truthfully, I didn't really care. It had to be used somehow. Thinking that was the thing he was going to confess about —if it was a confession— I sat beside him calmly, letting him know that he could tell me anything.

"So....what is it?" I gave him the softest and heartwarming grin I could muster, trying to make it easier for him. He never had this much of an issue telling me something. Even something as bad as burning my birthday cake.

His eyes were closed shut and the wrinkles around his eyes formed in result.

"I like you. Like...like like you."

The words were songs in my ears, playing an amazing tune. The words he sung were something I have always wanted to hear. Everything slowed for a moment and I felt the tip of his fingers graze over mine, finally folding them with each other. My heart raced as my smile grew.

"Would it be crazy if I said that I like you too?" I chuckled softly and I saw the small blooms of blush grow on his face. Spreading from the apples of his cheeks to his nose. His other hand held my face, pulling me forward and I knew what was happening. We came into close proximity and I felt the heat of his breath fans my lips. My need to connect our lips grew.

"Would you mind if I kissed you?" He didn't need to ask me twice.

I only nodded and without wasting a second, he closed the gap and held the back of my head. But before anything more could escalate we were kind of rudely interrupted.

"Hey Kai, did you eat my cake? I thought Y/n took it but I can't-" The door just opened without any knocks and there was Cole. I seperated myself from Kai immediately from the sound of his voice and I rushed my hands to his face, trying to play it off as if I was popping a pimple. 
"What in Ninjago is going on? Kai you're kissing my sister?! Y/n you're kissing Kai?!" I guess us being friends wasn't enough proof that we were capable of liking each other.

The disappointment was at least shared between the both of us.

I looked back, with a watery smile and it was accompanied with a poor of an attempt of playing it off. "I was just...popping a pimple." Kai raised his brow at me. I didn't see it, I just knew. He was definitely gonna ask me about it later.

Cole gave me a dry glare, not buying my bullshit. For once could he be oblivious? Like a stupid older brother?
"He has a twelve step skin-care routine. You really think I would buy that?" He came over but I tried to fight him off which didn't work. He threw me over his shoulder. I hit my fists against his back, demanding to be put down.

"Let me go you big boulder!" I did not appreciate this at all. I finally gave up and he turned around so I was facing the red ninja. I flipped him off and he only smiled at me. He was no help, but we both knew better than to fight with Cole. All he did was blew me a kiss and I helplessly caught it, bringing it to my chest acting as though it was in my heart.

He waved me a see you soon.

Soon meant in a couple of hours when everyone was asleep because there were things to talk about and our kiss was at the top of our list.
