based off a reallyyy scary dream I had.
takes place after hunted
(THERES A BRIEF SUICIDE SCENE, TREAD LIGHTLY)
enjoy loves xoxo
Jay's heart broke. She denied him.
Of course he expected it, it isn't surprising really.
He would deny himself too, if he could.
Jay took the diamond with a silver, blue quartz specked band and threw it as hard as he could.
How stupid could he have been? Why would Nya ever want to marry him?
After all - he wasn't much to look at.
Scrawny, short, for God's sake, his own girlfriend was taller and way more toned than he ever would be.
He would never be good enough.
Nya never loved him. She just didn't have the heart to say anything.
Jay was drenched now - sobbing your pretty brains out in the rain can end up doing that to you.
The blue ninja looked up at the rain that he symbolized as his tears and the loss of Nya.
She didn't want him.
She thought of him as immature.
Jay always thought she loved his jokes.
That's why he told them. He adored seeing Nya's gorgeous, heart-melting smile.
But she was faking them all the whole time.
Nya thought he was annoying.
He worked so hard for this moment to propose... and he failed.
Nya said she wasn't interested. That their relationship was all dried out.
Did she realize this relationship was the only thing holding him together?
After 2 years of dating and being happy... it was gone like the cherry blossoms in the breeze.
He can't cry anymore tears, he cried so hard the salty fluid - not an ounce remained.
He leaned against the withered bark of a towering oak, looking up at the dark skies.
Unwanted.
Annoying.
Replaceable.
Jay dry-sobbed, hunger biting at his stomach.
He didn't deserve to eat.
How could he show his face back on the Bounty?
He was rejected, how embarassing.
They were probably laughing at him.
Jay buried his face into his arms, freckled cheeks red from nippy, autumn cold.
Nighttime was falling fast and the cold racked Jay's body woth trembles and shivers.
It was too dark.
How would he ever find the Bounty at this rate?
"Why so glum, sweetheart?" A familiar sweet voice asked.
Harumi.
"Lloyd said you died." Jay murmured, barely making eye contact.
Harumi just cackled and knelt beside him, "No one stays dead forever. But I think I can help you."
Jay lifted his head up as she brought a chalice to his level.
"What-"
"It's poison."
Jay raised and eyebrow, as he looked at the greenish poison and up to the amber-eyed woman. "Why would I?.."
Harumi laughed once more, "Why? Why? You have nothing else to live for! You'll be much happier in the Departed Realm. Nya doesn't love you... She never did!" Harumi gently caressed Jay's cold cheeks.
Jay looked sullen as he stared directly into the poison, wouldn't that hurt?...
As if Harumi read his mind, she purred into his ear. "And it's painless... Imagine being so tired and you fall asleep in less than a minute. That's what this darling would do."
But... Is this right?
"You'll be so much happier, why stay somewhere you aren't wanted? You're a smart boy, or am I mistaken?..."
They didn't care. Nya didn't love him.They never did.
"It won't hurt... Will it? Are you sure?"
Harumi cooed and stroked his hair. "Not an ounce, not even a headache. You have my word."
Jay silently looked at the grass. Something he wouldn't be seeing again for the rest of eternity.
He took the chalice and brought it to his lips.
And drank the whole thing without an ounce of hesitation.
Jay dropped the chalice.
~O~
"Jay!? Where are you?"
Nya called through the woods, using her weapon to slice at bushes that stood in her way.
Jay hadn't returned... and it worried her greatly. After such a cold rejection she gave him, it hurt her to even think of it.
Nya was tied up in one of her antics about equality, and with fans giving her labels about being "Jay's" it frustrated her greatly...
Aaaaaand caused her to harshly reject Jay.
Nya stopped when she saw something shine in the dull overcast skies.
She scooped it up, her grey eyes widening.
Jay's ring.
Nya cursed and shoved it into her pocket, panick striking her like a bus.
"Jay!!! Jay?!?! I know you're out there! I'm so sorry for yesterday..."
She stumbled into a clearing, looking at her feet to be careful that she didn't trip on any stray roots.
The water ninja looked up and her mouth dropped to the floor.
"Oh my God, nono..."
Nya rushed over to him and dropped to her knees.
First, she put a hand to his forehead and quickly pulled it away.
Ice cold.Nya gently shook his shoulder, chewing on her innercheek as he moved limply under her touch.
She studied him some more under her calculating gaze, ignoring the fact that her heart was beating at an unhealthy rate of speed.
Jay's lips were blue and his face seemed to be drained of all colour, the rosy tint to his cheeks... was... no longer present.
He almost looked...
Oh God, please no...don't tell me...Nya touched various areas of his neck.
Nothing.
Her breathing became eratic.
"You idiot!! You damned idiot!!" Nya slapped him hard, a dagger slicing through her chest when he didn't even flinch.
"This isn't funny!! Wake up! Wake up!"
Nya sobbed, her face buried into Jay's chest. The same chest she snuggled into when they cuddled together.
The same chest that wouldn't rise or fall anymore.
He still smelt like lavender.
Jay was gone and he wasn't coming back.
And it was all Nya's fault.
