Request: Kai/Jay

Warnings: Yaoi


The pale light of dawn filtered in through the bedroom window, and Kai had to squint to be able to see properly through the brightness. He felt around his bed for his red hoodie, pulling it on and zipping it up when he found it. He sat on the end of his bed, leaning back and looking up at the ceiling as he wondered what he was going to do that day.

Maybe I could train, he thought. Then again, there isn't much to train for... Maybe I could catch up with Zane? Wait, I did that yesterday... He looked at the door, hoping someone would come through to invite him somewhere, or who would at least give him an idea. It usually happened on days where he had nothing to do.

At that moment, Jay burst in, slamming the door behind him and flopping onto Kai's unmade bed, pressing his face against the blankets. Kai raised an eyebrow, staring at him with a bit of frustration that he didn't knock first. He didn't understand what Jay was doing or why he was...crying?

"Jay?" he asked, putting his hand on the blue ninja's trembling shoulder and shaking him lightly. "What's wrong?" He didn't answer. Kai got up from the end of the bed, only to go around and lie beside Jay, turning his head to face him. "Come on, Jay," he coaxed. "What happened?"

Jay looked up, his freckled face blotchy and streaked with salty tears. "I don't wanna talk about it," he sniffed.

"Then why did you come in here?"

"Isn't this my room?"

"Not even close."

"Oh." Jay shrugged, turning his head again. "I guess that's just another thing I keep screwing up. What are the odds, huh?"

Kai narrowed his eyes, flipping Jay over so the crying redhead was facing him. "What do you mean by that?" he asked. "Can't you tell me what happened?"

Jay looked away momentarily, as though contemplating whether he should tell him or not. He took a shaky breath and wiped his eyes before he spoke again. "Y-you know that Love Tester thing Nya used a while back? And how she had to choose between me or Cole?"

"Yeah?"

"Well...she chose. And it wasn't me." He paused, another set of sobs wracking his lithe body. "I just... What did I do, Kai? What did I do wrong? Why didn't she choose me? Was I really that bad of a boyfriend to her?" He hid his eyes behind his arms, letting the tears stain his sleeves. "Did she ever love me...?"

The brunet couldn't help but feel bad for Jay, but felt that something had to be said about the situation, something he noticed for a long time since they first found out about the Love Tester. "Jay... I know you're upset that Nya didn't choose you. But this was her choice, not yours."

"I know, but-"

"And I know you're looking for some kind of comfort right now," Kai continued insistently. "But I really can't give it to you because you and Cole have been putting a lot of stress on her to choose, and that's really unfair to her."

Neither spoke for a while after that, and Kai watched Jay's face as realization sunk in, the redhead's eyes widening in shock and disbelief with himself. Jay let out another loud sob, shoving his face against the covers of the bed again.

"No wonder she hates me!" he cried. "I'm so stupid! I'm such an idiot! No wonder she chose Cole over me!"

"Hey, come on, now," soothed Kai, awkwardly wrapping his arms around Jay and lifting him into his lap, sitting up in the process. "Jay, don't blame yourself. I mean, I know you didn't treat her that great when you found out about the Love Tester thing, but like I said, this was her choice. Maybe she felt she needed to move on." He settled himself on the bed, holding Jay in what looked like a cradling position. "And maybe it's time for you to do the same."

Jay looked up at Kai's face, who was smiling down at him. He hadn't realized until now, but Jay liked it when Kai smiled. Not like his signature smirk, but a real, genuine smile. It was always warm, welcoming, and it seemed to make his worries melt away. Jay felt an unusual calmness settle in him, and he shut his eyes, leaning his head on Kai's shoulder.

"And, you know..." said Kai, getting the blue ninja's attention again. "I wouldn't mind it if we decided to...date, or something."

All Jay could do at that point was smile back at him. He realized that it wouldn't be too bad of an idea to date Kai instead of Nya. Was it because they were related? The siblings didn't have too much in common, but he did notice similar features between them, the smirking being one thing, their thin eyes being another.

"Then I guess in that case...I'll definitely move on from Nya," he murmured. "I mean, just as long as you don't find it awkward that I'm basically dating my ex-girlfriend's brother, 'cause I totally understand it if you do."

Kai shrugged. "It happens."

"Besides, I always did kinda like you," Jay admitted, blushing and looking away. "In fact, that's why I came in here, I knew this wasn't my room and I wanted to tell you how I felt and...stuff."

"Then in that case, I'm happy it was me you visited, because I think I've liked you from the start, too." The smirk returned. "So I hope you don't mind if I do this..."

He leaned down and gently pressed his lips to Jay's, in an attempt to show that they were now dating. He felt a bit surprised with how Jay responded, by tugging on the front of Kai's hoodie to bring him closer and to deepen the kiss. Their mouths moved in sync with each other, Kai giving a surprised gasp when Jay bit his bottom lip to get his mouth to open. Feeling a bit hesitant, Kai obeyed, moaning into the kiss as Jay's tongue dipped into his mouth. Jay blushed upon hearing Kai's sounds, and threaded his fingers through his spiky hair to make the moment more intimate.

The kiss abruptly ended when Kai pushed Jay away gently, his face bright red. "Okay, we might be dating now, but...how about we slow down just a little bit?" he panted, giving an amused smirk.

Jay laughed in embarrassment. "Right, sorry. Just got a little carried away."

Kai shrugged. "Don't worry about it. We just have to take it slow for now. We haven't even been on our first date yet."

"Well, how about we go somewhere tonight?" he suggested. "I heard about this nice restaurant not too far from here. We can go there."

Kai smiled again, happy that he found himself loving Jay, and that he finally had something interesting to do that day. "I think that sounds great," he said, hugging his boyfriend close.
