This is a filler chapter on what happened with Jay and Crim because I knew you guys would want it.

(Jay's POV)

I stumbled back, "H-hey, get away! I need to find my friend!" I yelled, and Crim just laughed, grabbing my arm. He tripped me, causing me to fall to the ground. I felt something tie around my hands, and I saw that he had tied me up with rope. "What the heck?!" I yelled, panicked.

He sat beside me, starting a small fire. "We're taking shelter for the night." He replied, and I groaned.

"What do you want with me? Let me go!" I yelled. Where were the others?

"Nope." He said, resting his hands over the fire. I squirmed, trying to break the rope, but it wouldn't work. After nearly half an hour of silence, I spoke.

"So... Where are you from?" I asked, curious. He looked at me with a raised eyebrow, and I felt my cheeks turn red in embarrassment.

He sighed, sitting up all the way to look at me. "Ninjago City. I was born there. Raised there." He replied. I nodded, listening. "My mother and father weren't that educated, and they didn't have a lot of money, so I didn't get to go to school often."

"Really? Me too! I was homeschooled!" I said, gasping in excitement. He smiled a little bit at my enthusiasm.

"Yeah?" He said, and I nodded. "I moved out when I was 16 to go find work. At one point, my dad got really sick. He couldn't support the family anymore." He explained, "And he ended up dying when I was 17. My mom died soon after." I frowned, feeling bad for the guy.

"I'm really sorry," I apologized, sympathetic of the guy. He just shook his head.

"I've had a long time to get over it. After that, I met Lotus, and she sorta became my new mom in a way." He explained. I stopped to think.

"Wait, so is your name actually Crimson?" I asked aloud. He laughed, shaking his head at the random question, and I smiled.

"Nah." He answered, "It's Xavier. I prefer Crim though. Crimson. It's the color of my eyes. Lotus came up with it." He replied, smirking slightly. I felt my heart flutter.

"Xavier..." I mumbled, and he ducked his head down. I noticed a pink blush on his cheeks. "I like it. A lot."

"You do?" He asked, looking back up at me. I made eye contact with him, my bright blues meeting his dark reds. I smiled, feeling as if my heart had taken flight into the night.

"Yeah." I said, nearly breathless, "I really do." I was enchanted by those eyes, almost as if they were hypnotizing me. I loved the color. Red was always my favorite. I had gotten tired of blue after a while.

He looked away, and I snapped out of my thoughts. "Why did you do all that to Cole?" I asked suddenly. He looked back at me, regret flashing in his eyes.

"I don't know." He answered, "It's been my job for so long. It didn't feel any different to what I usually do until-" He suddenly stopped, shutting his mouth.

"Until...? I questioned, and he blushed.

"I, uh... I regretted it when I met you." He admitted, "You... Remind me of something I once had." I blushed, my heart pounding in my chest.

"What..." I whispered before raising my voice, "What do I remind you of?" I asked, biting my lip slightly. He looked at me, leaning in closer.

"You make me happy, Jay." He whispered, staring right at me. My eyes widened, shocked. "You remind me of how happy people should be." He said, glancing down at the ground. I took the pause to lean in, kissing him, feeling his whole body stiffen up before he relaxed into it. I had never felt something so real, so meaningful. Though the time we knew each other was short, it felt like what he said was true. I was willing to try. I always was.

We pulled away after a moment. He reached over, untying me. "Go kick Cole's ass, Blueberry." He kissed me on the forehead, "I'll come back for you." He said, and got up. "I have to go take care of something." He ran off quickly, and left me. Heart beating, cheeks bright red.

I was in love.

Okay yes, they're a cheesy couple, but it's just cute crushes and hope for love, okay? I SHIP THEM ALRIGHT?!
