Hey everyone! Today's prompt is sleeping in. I had to work around it a little bit since I'm really not sure what the yin yang relationship status means (btw, all of these take place shortly after moto) compared to real life, and as always, I try to keep my stories true to what I believe, but I think it worked. Anyway, enjoy!
Jaell: Sorry, but Ollie is going to stay dead.
Joey: That's what I was going for since moto was an emotional rollercoaster. And yes, may be rest in peace.
Jay wasn't one for sleeping in, but the team had spent the last night watching movies together, and they'd been up really late. Early on, Nya had fallen asleep leaning against him. This wasn't a surprise really. She had the unique capability to fall asleep anywhere in any position, regardless of the noise level. To top that off, Nya was a movie sleeper, not a movie watcher.
It was more of a surprise that Jay had fallen asleep. He never could get any shut eye unless he was comfortable. Sharing a couch with six other people was definitely not comfortable, regardless of if one of those people was his yang with whom he enjoyed snuggling this closely. He also loved movies, and he considered it his responsibility to tell Nya what the ending was when she asked the next morning.
He wouldn't be this morning though. He opened his eyes to discover sunlight streaming in through the open game room window, and quickly squinted them closed again. Jay almost freaked out when he discovered he wasn't in his bed. And then he saw Nya was still curled up right beside him, and he didn't want to wake her. Someone, likely Kai, had draped a blanket over them.
Jay listened to Nya softly inhale and exhale for a while. He played with a wisp of her hair waiting for her to wake up.
She eventually did, squinting in the bright morning light equally as disoriented about where she was.
"Hey," Jay smiled and kissed her, "Good morning."
"Good morning," Nya replied. She was grinning, but that quickly faded as realization swept over her face, "Kai's going to kill us! And we didn't even do anything, we just fell asleep on the same couch!"
"Relax, Nya," Jay tugged on the red fabric of the blanket they were wrapped in, "I'm pretty sure he already knows."
Nya seemed to relax more and got comfortable on the couch again. Jay glanced at his watch. It was actually only seven. Late for them, but early for the rest of the team beside Zane. Jay could already smell the beginnings of whatever breakfast Zane was making this morning.
Nya clicked on the tv, and they sat there together watching Saturday morning cartoons. Jay put an arm around her, and Nya snuggled closer.
Jay smiled to himself enjoying the calm of the morning. All around them, they could hear the rest of the monastery getting up, but Jay and Nya remained in their blissful bubble not quite ready to join the rest of the world yet.
I hope you enjoyed! This one was actually pretty hard to write, but I think it turned out okay. Thanks for reading, and I'll see you all in around 24 hours.
#God's Not Dead!
