All he could see was red for a few minutes, making the remainder of his dreams unsettling until he realised the sun was shining onto him.
In their exhaustion, yesterday no-one had though to close the blinds on the bedroom porthole window and typically the warming sunlight was shining directly into his eyes when the cloud had finally uncovered it.
Jay opened his eyes, a mad panicked feeling giving him butterflies. He turned his head to the side looking at the small electronic alarm. "Phew thought for a minute I'd slept in….wait why didn't anyone wake me?" He mumbled and rubbed his bleary eyes, sitting up to avoid the sun that was blaring right into his line of sight.
"No sunrise exercise then….score!" Jay smiled, it spread across his sun-kissed face as he stood and stretched.
He took a glimpse at his bed and quickly pulled the covers back on, straightening out the covers so they looked like new. He took a quick glance at Cole's bed and shook his head, it looked like the master of earth had been fighting a rhino in his sleep. Feathers were strewn here and there, and the poor pillow was flattened.
"Oh First Spinjizu master, Cole what the heck man, what did you do to your pillow….sheesh." He smirked.
He had seen the master of earth punching the crap out of it on a nightly basis before falling asleep but now it was mostly just a sack of wind and only the scantest of downy feathers remained intact.
Jay got up and washed, as was his usual routine, brushing his teeth and washing his face. A good comb of his hair, with a little gel to hold it in place considering the flight he would be soon to take, flying on a dragon was sure to make anyone's hair at least a little windswept.
He looked at himself in deep thought and took a mouthful of minty mouthwash until a thought came to the forefront of his mind….flowers? He spluttered and stared at himself for forgetting.
'Oh sugar honey iced tea, flowers I need flowers.' He thought and quickly spat the blue mouthwash out wiping himself dry, whilst practising his most cheesy yet dazzling smiles in the mirror.
"Whoops, one thing I kinda forgot hehe…" He grabbed his wallet and phone from the nightstand and quickly dialled a number, immensely thankful to hear the dial tone and the comforting tone of the phone call being answered promptly.
He jumped back into the shared bathroom and locked the door behind himself, not wanting to be disturbed. Jay cleared his voice, "I'd like to order a hand tied posy for same day delivery….price is no concern, the only stipulation is..." He paused, mentally chastising himself that he had almost forgotten.
"Can it be delivered today and before 1pm?"
"Of course. What type of flowers sir, colour variety and where are they to be delivered." A female voice queried.
Jay rubbed his jaw and leant over the sink, staring at everything to get any other flower name to come to his mind. All he could think about was the same old carnations, roses and lilies. "Do you have any blue ones?" Was the only thing he could think of saying.
"The only flowers that are truly blue are very difficult to get hold off and they really are not worth the price because they are too delicate…."
He tucked a strand of auburn hair behind his ear and smiled at himself. "Well, what are they then?"
"Poppies…." Came the quick reply.
Jay mused over the suggestion but then remembered that poppies seemed to be wafer thin, kind of pathetic for a posy as they'd be withered before Nya would even get them. "Err no, something a little stronger. Yeah no weak flowers, something with more strength and resilience…"
"Okay, how does this sound, although it is more of a pale blue? A posy made with giant blue hydrangeas with the addition lavender sprigs, white sweet pea flowers and roses? We can send you the image." She suggested helpfully, obviously trying to get a good tip from him in return being as money wasn't an issue.
"Nope, I trust you, it sounds perfect to me. Just finish it off with a royal blue ribbon, she loves blue ya know, it's her favourite colour…." Jay said and smiled at the image they had sent anyway. To him it looked perfect, she was sure to love it and he hoped that whatever she wore that the posy would complement her.
"A message on the card sir?" The female asked timidly because not everyone wanted the additional tiny card that came attached.
'What the hell, why not, she can keep it as a keepsake from our proposal.' He thought and smiled to himself thinking about how she might retrieve it to show their children at a later date, maybe every anniversary or when their children have children of their own.
"To my love, my life, the woman I want to call my wife. Nya please join me and stay by my side." Jay smirked at the cheesiness of it but it was the first thing that came to mind. He hadn't really had enough time to think about the message but the one that had just come from the heart seemed to fit the bill perfectly.
He grabbed his wallet and retrieved his credit card giving the exact address of the restaurant and the time the flowers were to be delivered, he rolled his eyes when he was given the price and did an apologetic look to the ceiling as if to say sorry to his dearly departed father for wasting such an exorbitant amount of money on flowers that would be dead within a week.
The price for same day delivery of a hand tied posy was extortionate and it wasn't even St Valentines day. He still paid though because he knew how far they would have to travel to deliver the flowers if he hadn't left it so late he might not have had to pay quite so much in carriage and delivery in the first place.
But in the grand scheme of things it didn't really matter, it was a small price to pay, metaphorically speaking anyway. He just wanted to make her as happy as she made him on a daily basis.
A gentle rapping on the door disturbed him, "Hey, Jay you finished in there yet bro? Breakfast is ready…." Came the gravelly undertones of Cole.
Jay looked to the locked door at his right, "I'll be out in a second Cole, oh and thanks."
He heard the main bedroom door close gently, now Cole had gone, he needed to get himself ready at least for a small breakfast. There was no point in gorging on breakfast items if he was going to be dining out in four hours.
Grabbing his usual casual clothes the master of lightning quickly dressed and left the sleeping chambers he shared with his brothers, closing the door behind him gently. He strolled into the kitchen and let the smells of coffee and freshly cooked pastries waft into his nose, stimulating his keen olfactory senses, sending them into overdrive.
His course now diverted from sitting down, he wandered hungrily into the kitchen and saw Nya cooking breakfast pastries. Some had been cooled artificially by Zane of course and were now being iced like the professionals you see in the bakeries.
Jay just stood and watched as Zane meticulously applied the exact amount of icing to each one, waiting for his chance to take one when he wasn't looking.
Zane was aware he was being watched so he stopped momentarily. "Take one if you must Jay, they will not last long once Cole and Kai gets back in from training." He said with just the smallest hint of an upturned smile.
Jay took that as his cue and quickly swiped one from the cooling rack, the icing was still gooey, just how he liked it. "Morning Nya…" Jay chuckled and brushed past her gently. She smelled like heaven to him, vanilla, raspberry ripple, cherry, spring flowers, all the beautiful things he could think of.
He kissed the back of her neck as he brushed past and felt her shiver as his warm lips ghosted her skin, she let out a giggle and Jay smirked. "Thanks for yesterday Nya." He mumbled into her ear.
It was almost as if he could sense her legs buckling, he really did make her feel weak at the knees, but then she too made him feel the same, it was like they were made for each other. Well according to the scribes in the cloud kingdom they were, simply put the whole thing with Cole wasn't actually meant to happen.
It was eventually revealed that the true match machine had been tampered with by none other than the Overlord and General Cryptor. The cruel idea behind it, was to split the ninja team and drive a wedge between them weakening them. And true to form, it had done just that.
Lloyd had been captured, Jay and Cole were conflicted with each other and Nya wouldn't choose. The whole thing had put an enormous strain on Jay and Cole's brotherly relationship and it had eventually torn them apart.
But that was in the past now, they had all moved on now, years had passed and all had matured somewhat. Everything and everyone had settled back into the routine of being a ninja, a trained ruthless assassin when needed, a spy, an infiltrator and an experienced warrior to protect Ninjago when the time called for it.
Jay walked with his iced pastry and his coffee, sitting down at the breakfast bar watching Nya as she expertly wrapped each pastry into the flattened circular shapes, making the perfect cinnamon rolls, before whacking them into the hot oven. She stood back and wiped her brow motioning to Zane to watch them and take them out within ten or so minutes, he nodded in response and watched her leave before continuing with his own tasks.
Zane put the piping bag down, "So I understand you will not be joining us today….?" He asked.
Jay stopped eating and looked up." Yep remember, I've got other plans today, can't get out of them either sorry tinman. But hey you'll still have Cole, Kai and Lloyd, much stronger than I am." He laughed and bit into a piece of his roll.
"Well we could still use your speed and agility Jay, do not be so quick to write off your own elemental abilities…"
"You always seem to be exceptionally fast in reaction speed which is where you exceed, you only lack in strength because you are not focussing fully when you fight."
'Really ya think because everyone seems to think I'm just a glorified hacker and repair man, like my skills are wasted, but sure I'll play along.' Jay thought but bit his tongue at what he actually wanted to say.
He did sometimes feel undervalued as a team member but he stayed because this was his family and family stick together through thick and thin, riding out the rough with the smooth.
"Gee thanks, Zane, didn't really need a critical analysis on fighting when I'm eating. Gahh you'll give me indigestion…haa haa." Jay teased and laughed, he was never any good at taking praise even it was double edged.
"Look, you all have this covered today, you don't really need the lightning bolt when you have Lloyd and besides, I always get knocked out of the comps first. So like I said enjoy your little tournament as a team of four but I, for one can't contribute to it. Reason being is that I'm busy and I've got plans that I can't divulge." Jay smirked and stood up with his empty plate and cup.
Zane fixed him with a look of confusion, he tilted his head and replied in his usual friendly tone. "Enjoy your time off Jay and good luck with whatever your endeavour may be."
Jay stared at the clock and back at his metal brother who was wearing his striped chef's apron. "Thanks, Zane, see ya later." He said and walked off onto the open deck with a visible skip in his step.
He spent a few minutes on the deck thinking of the best things he could say to Nya because in only a few short hours he would be trying his hardest to propose. Jay looked wistfully up into the never-ending blue depths of the sky above, the odd fluffy cumulonimbus cloud hovered in the troposphere giving the sky some definition to the otherwise pure blue stretch of skyline. A solitary airliner flew above the stratosphere, the jet engines searing two fine scars onto the otherwise beautiful ever expanding expanse of blue.
Again he took in his immediate surroundings, he could have almost been at peace, a state of nirvana if he didn't have something else on his mind.
The Bounty was stood against a backdrop of green lush woodland, the greenery of the trees mixed with the fluttering falling petals of white and pink blossom, gave him the feeling like he was staring at a real-life oil painting.
Behind him he could hear Cole and Lloyd sparring, fighting with the wooden training swords and both wearing their respective uniform and armour. Jay knew Zane was still in the kitchen taking the pastries from the oven whilst clearing up. Kai was as yet unavailable, he had gone strangely quiet as had Nya.
He looked down at his phone and his stomach did a proverbial back flip, the butterflies came back in full force. He had been standing on the wooden deck for almost an hour staring into space and now it was time for him to get ready.
Today was the day, the day he would be proposing to the woman of his dreams, the woman who made him feel like he could conquer his fears.
"Kai, I don't understand, why won't you just tell me why I need to dress up. I mean no one else is dressed smartly, you're still in your gi, so is Lloyd, Cole and Zane…." She replied as she looked at the dress he had given her to wear.
Kai clasped his hands together momentarily and approached her, he held her hands gently within his own. "Nya please, you trust me right?"
She looked into his amber eyes and tilted her head to the side. "Of course I trust you, Kai, just wish you'd tell me why I need to wear this." She replied and held the new blue gown up for him to see like it was something he had never set eyes on before.
"I hate secrets Nya, but this was a promise that I can't break, he'd kill me….." Kai muttered and blushed.
Nya took the blue dress with a raised eyebrow, "Fine, but you've got some serious explaining to do later…"
Kai saw a faint smile appear as she took the dress, it was blue that was a pretty big clue, but then it was her favourite colour other than red. She always seemed to wear a red cheongsam and occasionally a kimono dependent on her mood, so the blue one was a welcome surprise.
Nya held the dress against herself, "How did you know what size to get me?"
He looked away and retrieved her original red one that she thought she had lost a few days ago. "Sorry I had to get exact measurements so I kind of borrowed it…" He grinned sheepishly and gave it back with a cheeky giggle. "Hey I took care of it and uhm, it's still in one piece."
Nya stared at the new blue cheongsam and stroked the embroidered fastenings, her fingers grazing the silk patterns and the dragon print down the back. It was mostly blue stiffened silk taffeta with a silver edging to it, finished with a delicate silver organza shrug to cover her arms.
She tried the organza item on first and smiled, but then turned back to her brother again with a look of 'what are you playing at Kai?.'
"You've got good taste Kai, you'll make a great husband one of these days." She said and smiled again twirling. "So, what time have I got to be ready for?"
Kai stood up and tightened his gi ready for his training session on the deck, "11.00 be on the deck and then your transport will be ready." He smirked and left her to get ready without revealing any further details. He could tell she was still slightly confused, she was still staring at the dress when he left her in her room.
Kai left her room, closing the door behind him. The master of fire raised his fist into the air, silently fist pumping, he had managed to get her to dress up without actually telling her why now all he needed to do was calm Jay down. Because he could almost sense electrical activity coming from the room next door, due to the build-up of static he felt when he walked past their shared bedroom.
"*knock*Knock*, Hey Jay can I come in, you're decent right?" Kai said and opened the door anyway to see Jay pacing around. The master of lightning was already dressed in his smartest clothes.
A smartly tailored black suit complete with a royal blue tie and cummerbund, a stark white pressed shirt just like he had worn all those years ago for a meal out which ended up being an impromptu date at the Mega Monster Amusement Park thanks to the serpentine.
But now Jay looked even better than he did all those years ago, he had matured somewhat, yeah he was still lacking in confidence, relying a little too much on humour to calm his nervousness. But he was still Jay the lovable ninja of lightning who would do anything for his team and the woman he loved.
"Kai….I-I'm nervous…" Jay eventually choked out and sat on his bed flustered.
Kai smiled in sympathy, he joined Jay's side and sat on his bed. Something snapped and loosened in his heart, a feeling of brotherly pride was making itself known. Jay looked completely vulnerable at that moment, which to Kai looked like Jay wasn't entirely sure that Nya would say yes.
He wrapped an arm around his younger brother in his smart suit. "Jay, you've got this okay. Just remember what she said all those years ago and what she says to you all the damn time." He smiled keeping a firm arm on his now shaking brother.
"You are the best you and that's all I'll ever need, just be yourself because I love you for who you are not what you are…." Jay mumbled and wiped a tear away.
"There ya go see, now just try to control those emotions, Jay, I mean it's great that you're a sensitive soul but you can't start blubbing when you propose so take a deep breath, recompose yourself and get out there." Kai soothed finally before standing up and offering Jay his hand to raise him up off the bed.
Jay, of course, took it gratefully and stood to straighten himself, pulling his suit jacket back into place and straightening his attire. "Thank you, Kai, forever grateful to you for this…" He smiled and looked up to Kai's brilliant hazel eyes.
All Kai could see was Jay's bright blue sapphire orbs, "Go and get on the deck and I'll send Nya in a few minutes, oh, and good luck Jay." He whispered as Jay walked past him to the bedroom door.
"Oh before you go, you'll need this…." Kai said and passed Jay the jewellery box that he knew Jay had kept in his top drawer for the past month.
"Thanks again Kai, I'm sure one of these days I'll be able to catch you out haa.." He replied and took the ring box before giving Kai a tight brotherly embrace, one that he had never had before from Jay. It was almost the hug one would expect from an actual family member and a close one at that.
Maybe Kai was slowly coming round to the idea that Jay did indeed look up to him as a brother now more than ever. After all, Jay had respected him enough to ask for his permission to marry Nya. As far as Kai knew even Cole wouldn't think to do that, he'd just propose, take the bull by the horns and just go down on one knee, the hell to everyone else.
"Go on Jay, you got this bro, you have my blessing." Kai smiled and patted him on the back as Jay walked out of the shared bedroom with his head now in the air.
