"Kai, you can calm down now. Look they're both back..." Cole grumbled, his gravelly voice mumbling somewhat as he took another bite of his sandwich, motioning to the elemental dragon that had just appeared.
He watched with interest as the red ninja stood, a smirk hidden behind the doughy snack he had purposefully placed in front of his mouth.
Kai, the master of fire stood and puffed his chest out as Cole had expected him to do upon Nya's return. "Remember they are a couple, Kai!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah...I know." He mumbled and walked off to greet and congratulate the happy and newly engaged couple, having successfully kept their proposal dinner a secret.
His eyes narrowed as soon as he saw Nya disembarking from Jay's elemental dragon. It was true that both the loved-up couple looked somewhat windswept. Jay's hair was sticking up on either side of his face and Nya's hair wasn't much better. If he had given it too much thought, he would have said that they stopped off somewhere and rolled around in the grass because that was what it looked like.
It wasn't far from the truth either.
Kai noted that Nya was shivering possibly due to the lack of sunlight and Jay looked mildly apprehensive. He had lowered his dragon down onto the grass and helped her off before the dragon became a fine mist of blue. Kai was there with a smug grin on his face, eager to hear of the proposal but he noticed that his sister wore no ring on her left hand.
Jay looked sullen, his mood seemed sombre and his trousers were ripped.
Kai suddenly frowned and thought of something else to say rather than the obligatory 'congratulations.' He had a thought that Nya had quite possibly said 'no,' that in itself would explain the stressed and aggrieved look on Jay's pale freckled face when Nya wasn't looking.
'I'll ask about that in a bit...'
"Good meal Nya? Take it you guys had some fun then?" He queried, relieved at seeing them both back. He smiled when Nya walked up on the deck with a huge grin on her face. She instantly began to regale him of the events whilst waiting for Jay to join her side.
Once, both smartly dressed ninja and kunoichi had arrived back on the Bounty, they were given the same looks of confusion, notably from Cole and Lloyd who were busy eating their own lunch, it didn't look as appealing as the food they had just consumed.
Lucky for them, it had been Cole's turn to cook the lunch and he had made a fairly easy one of just sandwiches with a nondescript filling of his own design with a large bowl of salad to accompany. Lloyd was slowly and painfully taking a bite of doorstep sliced bread with a large gulp of water to mask the odd sandwich filling.
"What filling did you say this was?" Lloyd asked as he opened the sarnie to peek inside, instantly wishing he hadn't.
"Oh it's like steak tartare, thought that, ya know, what with those two swanning off for fine dining we could experience it too. Rare beef steak, gherkins, capers and shallots...It's good right?" He mumbled and took a huge bite, groaning into it.
Lloyd hastily swallowed the last morsel, hoping it would stay down for longer than the last meal had. "Yeah, great..." he replied without the same enthusiasm.
Jay had joined Nya's side and had led her into the galley, arm in arm. "Home sweet home, are you feeling any better?" He asked, feeling genuinely concerned after her earlier fainting episode. Maybe thinking it could have been wine induced but not deducing that it wouldn't be something else entirely.
He took on the role of a mother hen and directed her through to the inner rooms of the Bounty. Kai was hanging back a little, just watching them both for clues.
"Seriously, I'm fine Jay. Stop worrying." She replied and squeezed his arm. "You surprised me, I admit I was completely stunned by this whole day and the fact you only told Kai." She said as she stood outside her room.
"Well ya know, it took a lot of planning, I uh, had to be extra sneaky, then of course I wanted to do it the right way so I-I had to ask Kai first but then he wanted to know all the details and then he said that if I didn't give them to him, he wouldn't allow me to ask you properly. Then he told me to change the time of the booking and made me promise to keep my word to him and I think I did, well, except for when we went to the lake and then, well ya know but that wasn't my fault haa haa..." He finally got out in one breath with a blushing countenance that radiated pure warmth.
"And that, is why you got lumbered with zaptrap as a nickname..." She teased and kissed his burning cheeks.
"Besides, after all that, even Kai didn't tell me, he just supplied me with a new dress, which as you can imagine I was sceptical about but he's my brother and he gets me things all the time, well he used to! And I didn't really question him, still, don't. Jay, I love you, you know that right?"
He bit his lip and nodded, he couldn't stop himself. He leant forwards and kissed her, it was a kiss of longing. He wanted to do right by her standards, to please her and to make her happy.
His proposal had been rehearsed and practised when he had been working alone. And he was damned if he was going to say the same thing again tonight. She knew his true feelings, the words in his proposal were strong and meaningful and he meant every word of it.
She closed the door on him but didn't see his face drop to the floor when he turned his back. He stalked back to his room, his bright blue eyes looking sad and emotional.
'That damned stuck up waiter ruined everything, sticking his nose in and being rude. This whole day was a disaster that and my over emotional proposal...gah, what is wrong with me!'
He walked back to his room in the hopes of finding it empty, just so he could lie on the bed and shout at his pillow. Kai was sitting on his bed when he entered, he cast Jay a look of sympathy and motioned him over.
"Come on tell me everything, what did you guys get up to?" He asked eagerly but with trepidation, he was probing carefully because of Jay's lack of enthusiasm and his general body language.
Jay flopped on the bed and said nothing, his shoulders slumped forwards and he took a deep shuddering sigh as he loosened his shirt buttons.
Kai persisted and scooted closer, "What did she say?" He draped an arm around Jay's shoulder, giving a firm squeeze.
He watched as a tear rolled down Jay's face, he gulped nervously.
Jay sniffed and wiped the tear away in embarrassment before finally speaking "She didn't say...anything." He mumbled and threw his blue tie and cummerbund to the floor, quickly followed by his shirt.
Jay took out the ring box opening it for Kai to see, before putting it securely in his top bedside drawer for later.
The master of fire only glanced at the shiny ring for mere seconds, not really concerned about the token of love but more about the newfound emotional state that the master of lightning was battling with. Kai knew from experience at how sensitive Jay could be, he was easily the most sensitive soul aboard. He had been the same when Nya refused to choose between black and blue or when he saw her hug Cole instead of Jay on the day that Zane sacrificed his white ninja life.
"She is still gonna give you an answer though?" He whispered, it was an uncertain question.
"I-I guess so after dinner maybe! Ahh, who am I kidding she could say yes or no and again I'm none the wiser...I hate all this uncertainty, just thought she would say yes, but then what with everything that happened I reckon she'll just laugh ."
"Well, tell me what happened then? at least then I'll know. Jay I meant what I said, I'm here for you, I've got your back." He got up from the bed and allowed Jay to carry on changing into his ninja gi.
Jay span into it easily and discarded his ruined trousers into the nearest trash can.
"We had a great meal, lovely wine, service was pompous but ya know it was fine dining." He sighed again. "We had our food, Nya started laughing because I got hiccups, the management told me off and said in no uncertain terms that I needed to control her behaviour or we'd be asked to leave." He picked up his kunai blades and tucked them into his belt.
"Anyway after all that, I got the flowers for her, gave her a posy of her favourite colour and then got down on one knee, gave her my heartfelt feelings, proposed to her and showed her the ring..."
"And then?" Kai asked with a hint of excited anticipation.
Jay sighed again, "Then she fainted, and I caught her, stopped her from hitting the ground, ripped my trousers in the process and then we got thrown out. The end! No answer, the ring is still here, the whole day was a failure of gargantuan proportions. Why did I ever think she would say yes?"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa...Jay calm down, Nya fainted?" Kai shook his head. "Look that doesn't matter okay, you know how she feels about you, she loves you no matter what, the fact that you two have been together now for three years just goes to show it. Don't you remember this talk we had this morning? no matter the outcome you know how she feels about you and I know you feel the same about her."
"Jay, bro...just give her some time, I'm sure she'll tell you late," Kai reassured with the same brotherly hug.
He had walked over to the bedroom door seeing Nya walking past in her gi, he could tell she was looking for Jay. He whispered back into the room, seeing Jay at the mirror wiping his face and recomposing himself. "You think you're up to some sparring yet? Looks like someone may be looking for you." He said with a wink and stood back allowing Jay to scuttle past at breakneck speed.
'Lovebirds hehe.'
"Had a good time then?" Came a disgruntled gravelly voice, distorted by the wedge of bread he had bitten into.
Jay could see Nya just ahead in her ninja gi, his eyes then adjusted to the plate of food in front of both leaders. "Actually, it was pretty good, the location was spot on. Great venue, you'd love it Cole, just your environment. It was well appointed, tastefully decorated, blah blah blah. It was a lovely sunny day with great views of the Mountains of impossible height."
"Plus..." He said with his nose turned up at the sandwiches. "The food was also delicious, the wine was good but the service was...well, let's just say...I didn't leave a tip! Haa!"
"You don't look like you made it to the restaurant, bro!" Cole raised an eyebrow, his arms folded across his chest.
Making assumptions based on their appearance did nothing for Jay, Nya had already shrugged it off and ignored him, walking through and onto the deck.
Cole walked up to Jay with a smug grin and ruffled his hair. A few stray cherry blossom petals fell to the floor.
"Whatever! Look, think what you want, I took her for a meal and that was it." Jay skipped the proposal part, chalking it off to an experience he would rather forget unless her answer later, just happened to be 'yes,' in which case he would likely laugh about it for years to come.
He sidestepped Cole in the kitchen area and grabbed a glass, filling it with cold water. "Wu said something about training time, although we can't really do all that much on a full stomach, so I'll just be warming up for a bit, see how I feel."
"Either way, I'm glad you two had a good meal out, you looked like you enjoyed it...I think?"
Jay nodded and walked away with a smile. He saw Nya sitting under a tree practising with her blades, Jay turned slightly, Lloyd was reading a book on the deck, the cover still hidden. Kai and Zane were mid sparring and Cole had just picked up his scythe to attack a mannequin with.
Jay did a full 360-degree turn and finally spotted his sensei sitting atop the Bounty, drinking his tea, winking at Jay.
His sensei's face was solemn and knowing, he knew that today would possibly be the last for one of his ninja...on this realm.
Ta da
Oh btw this then leads on to 'A Whole Other Realm' where this story carries on with a twist. Yeah I know a shameless plug.
This is also on FFN, but tamed down somewhat because of rules and such.
