(Nya's POV)

It had been a rough few weeks for Nya; The Sons of Garmadon, Garmadon himself, and believing Kai and Jay were dead after the Bounty got destroyed, only to find out he was trapped in another realm. After the defeat of Garmadon, they deserved time off.

Right now, she was relaxing in the living room of the newly rebuilt monastery, taking in all that has happened. As she got lost in thought, she started focusing more on Jay, her love, her Sparky. They have been through so much together, and It seems that every big adventure they go on; everytime they go fight another villain, they never know if it would be their last. And this last adventure made her realise that more than any other.

Two weeks.

Two. Agonising. Weeks

Two weeks since the rest of the ninja, minus Lloyd and herself, were transported to the First Realm, the realm of the Oni and Dragon, and she thought that they were all dead.

When she found out that they were actually alive, she went to sleep that night much, much happier than the previous nights, however she still had doubts. Yes, she found out they were alive after the bounty was crushed, but for how long? They could have died in the first realm and they would have never found out, stuck waiting for them, for them to never arrive.

After every battle that we have had, there has always been lasting damage - Kai gets temperamental sometimes, Cole has a cake obsession: almost an addiction, Lloyd feels as if he has failed as a leader sometimes, Zane, feels regret for not helping P.I.X.A.L with a new body for herself, and leaving her while he was in the First Realm, and Jay...

Jay feels as if he has failed as a boyfriend for leaving me alone in this realm, and he has had endless anxiety about pretty much everything- villains, his friendships with others, and his relationship with me. No matter of convincing to him that I will always stick with him can change that for him. He also gets nightmares often, I should know since I have to wake him up from them. He won't tell me about them however. I have never pushed him to say, as if I came off as too clingy, however I need to have a talk to him soon about it.

And me, Ever since Nadakan, and the Pirates, I have had nightmares about that day, that unforetold day where I died, and Jay saved me. Jay has always comforted me through them, like I have for him, however when they left, I was left alone with my thoughts, and they got worse and worse. Me and Jay have not had an opportunity together since he got back, and I need to find out where he is.

That comes down to the other issue however. Ever since he left, I never realised how much I relied on Jay to keep me company. Don't get me wrong, Lloyd was very understanding, but his comfort was nothing like Jay's. While he was gone I seem to have gotten an obsession over him? It's more of a "I want to make sure nothing ever happens to him again," or a "I want to be with him all the time to ensure he is safe" sort of obsession. Maybe I should talk to him about it.

"Hey Nya"

(Cole's POV)

Cole was wandering around the monastery, looking for his beloved cake. He had no idea of where it was, and seemed to be determined to find it at any cost. He had checked most of the rooms, including the bedrooms in case someone had the audacity to take his beloved from him. He just had to check the Living room now.

As he entered the room, He noticed that Nya was sitting on the couch facing away from him, looking down at the floor. Cole decided to abandon his plan of cake for the time being, to see what was wrong. He maneuvered around the room to stand in front of Nya, in which he could see that she wasn't staring at the floor, rather her hands. She wore a worried look on her face, and seemed as if she was in another realm. He decided to be brave.

"Hey Nya."

Those two words seemed to shake Nya from her trance. Slowly, she looked up to see Cole staring at her with worry. She put on a smile for him.

"Hey Cole, what's wrong?"

Cole stared at her, knowing that the smile she had on her was fake, however he decided not to confront her about it, rather giving a different excuse.

"You seen my cake?"

It was a two sided question, both as a distraction from reality, but also general curiosity. He did want to find that cake today.

"No I haven't. You seen Jay?"

How she mentioned Jay's name evoked a strange feeling for Cole, as if she was getting possessive over him. He wished it wasn't the case.

"Nope. I'll let him know you're looking for him" Cole replied.

"Thanks"

With that, Cole left the room, drawing a negative for the cake in the living room.

As he was passing the bedrooms, he looked into Jay's room, seeing him sitting on his bed staring back at Cole.

"Hey Cole, Whats up?"

Cole stared at Jay, finding the correct words.

"Just passing by, have you seen my cake?"

Jay shook his head. "No idea."

Dangit. Where is it!

"Alright, thanks." Cole starts walking to the door. "By the way, Nya is looking for you."

"Nya is looking for me?"

Cole turned back to Jay, seeing his best friends face contort into panic. Worried about Nya, I guess. Cole thought.

"Yeah, in the living room" Cole replied.

Without another word spoken, Jay got up, walked out of his room, then down the hall. Cole watched him turn the corner.

Right, back to looking for my cake.

(Nya's POV)

Is it healthy to have an obsession over someone? It's normal, right? Especially since I've nearly lost him so many ti-

Nya was pulled out of her trance by two arms holding both her shoulders. She looked up to see Jay staring back, a worried look on his face. She softened her face, looking right back into the deep pools of eyes her boyfriend wore.

"Hey Jay, whats up?" She attempted cheerfully, trying to distract him, however the serious look he gave told her he wasn't buying it.

"Nya, what's wrong?" Jay pushed, trying to get a response from her.

"Whaddya mean? There's nothing wrong." Attempt two of trying to distract failed as well. Jay decided to sit down next to her, still facing her.

Jay's face softened, choosing his words carefully. "Nya," he begun, taking it slow, "I know there is something wrong, and that you don't want to tell me straight away, but I will always be here whenever you need me, and even if it takes a day, a week, or even a month to tell me, just know that I will be here, and I am here to stay. No matter what." As he ended, he pulled Nya into a hug. That finally broke her, and she started sobbing into his embrace. Jay immediately became alerted.

"Nya, what is wrong?" He attempted again, getting more success than the previous time.

"It just feels so nice for you to be back" She conveyed between sobs. Jay knew she was holding back, but decided not to press for now. Like Nya, he had missed her the last two weeks, leaving her in a realm which was in the process of being taken over, not knowing if she would still be alive by the time he got back. When he heard her over the transmitter as they were flying over the remains of the city, so much relief had washed over him, knowing that she would be there to fight another day.

After a few minutes of soothing by Jay, Nya was calm enough to start speaking again. She pulled back and looked Jay in the eyes, "While you were gone, I had no idea that you were alive, and when I found out you were, I- I"

Jay cut her short by pulling her into a deep kiss, in which Nya gladly responded. She had missed his lips on hers. She felt that she could continue for eternity. But there were more pressing issues for the two. Like oxygen.

Jay pulled away first, leaving Nya disappointed. She decided to tell Jay about her new found issue now, before she left it too late.

"Jay.." She vocalised, Jay getting suspicious of what was about to happen, "if I told you I had an issue, what would you say?" Jay was put on edge.

"An issue," he paused, "what sort of issue?"

"You" she stated plainly. Before Jay could get a word in however, Nya continued, "While you were away, I stopped to realise that after everything that we have been through: The Final Battle, The Overlord again, Nadakan, The Sons of Garmadon, and now this? There is only so much I can take, and nearly losing you has shown that to me that I need you in my life, and I cannot go on without it. I don't want to lose you ever again. Call me clingy if you want to but I don't want you to leave me again. Ever".

She gave Jay a moment to process the information. After a few seconds however, and in much shorter time then she thought it would take, Jay pulled her into another hug, in which she gladly accepted. She enjoyed his warmth.

"Nya, I would never call you clingy, even if you are, as it doesn't matter. I will never leave you again, and for everything that is worth, I am clingy towards you too." Nya knew he never always knew the right words to say, or that his anxiety can flare up at any point, but he was trying his best, and she loved him for that. "But you should know that I will never judge you no matter what; no matter the positives or negatives you have, I will always love you for who you are. You are the best you." She smiled at those words - the same words she had used on him all those years ago to convince him, have had the same effect on herself. I should listen to myself more, she thought.

"Thank you." she whispered into his ear. Tightening the hug.

"Ow!"

That one word put Nya into shock. She pulled away quickly to see Jay holding his side in pain, although trying to hide it from her. Then it hit her.

How could she be so stupid? How could she have not considered that they could have been hurt badly in the First Realm, or in their last battle? She had only been thinking of herself, and Jay came to comfort her. She was alright on the most part, but that led to the question, a question she had not thought about, and was dreading to know the answer to..

How hurt was he?

Welp, there you go, another oneshot for my story collection, or would it be a twoshot? Well maybe this may be a part one of the story, maybe not. Who knows? As is now custom to me, tell me what you think about this, and if you have enjoyed, you can submit an idea for me to consider? (I have a very short list at the moment)

I have an idea to start a "Ninjago Texting" Series, but I may leave it until I have a few oneshots to ground my head into the whole "Fanfiction thing", but for now, Later. Alligators!
