Hi guys so this is an amalgum of different requests from RealtreeGal, RandomDragon2.0 and KAI IS THE BEST
I also threw in some glacier shipping and a couple of other more serious topics like depression and LGBTQ stuff
After the incident with the SOG and Harumi, the ninja were home and everything was back to normal, ish. Zane had decide to buy a sheep to enter into the Jamaikai county fair and was almost always in the pasture he had created taking care of it making sure he'd win first prize, a blue ribbon and the cash prize of 10 grand. Meanwhile the other ninja were trying to entertain themselves. One morning Cole was hiding in the cabinet re labeling all of Kai's favorite spicy snacks. Zane refused to buy processed snacks so all of the ninja's personal snacks were homemade, like kai's habanero popcorn, Cole relabeled it as regular popcorn and the regular popcorn became kai's habanero popcorn. Cole climbed out of the cabinet and hid as he watched Kai grab what was labeled as his popcorn, when he took a bite he spit it out
"ALRIGHT WHO SWITCHED MY POPCORN!?" yelled Kai, Cole fell out from under the table laughing
"Why you little.." said Kai right before tackling Cole. Lloyd walked into the room and grabbed the popcorn container that said normal popcorn, took a bite, and basically turned into a fire breathing dragon for a minute in his mad dash to find milk
"Oh yeah we're out of milk, Zane said he'd buy more at the market later" said Cole smirking
"Hot hot hot haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttt" cried Lloyd trying to fan his tongue
"Oh and we're also out of bread" said Cole. In a desperate attempt to cool down his mouth Lloyd ran out of the room in an attempt to find Nya, he bumped into her in the hallway
"N'a, hahahathahaaht, watterrrrrrr!" cried Lloyd, Nya shot a ball of water into Lloyd's mouth where the green ninja immediately looked as if he was on cloud nine. Nya walked into the kitchen leaving a very happy Lloyd on the hallway floor
"Alright who made Lloyd try that damn popcorn again, especially since we're out of Milk and bread" said Nya
"Dirt clod here decided to be funny and switch the popcorn labels" said Kai
"Well you can get him back for it later, right now you need to help Jay fix the cable antena, Zane called and he wants to watch platinum gals later tonight (basically Zane wants to watch the Golden Girls, had to change it because it doesn't exist in NInjago) with Misako" said Nya
"I thought he was spending all day with that stupid sheep of his?" asked Kai
"For one thing Kai, he's only entering it into the county fair to win that prize money so we can actually afford stuff around here" said Nya
"It's his fault we can't afford anything, he's the one who bought the sheep" said Kai
"The sheep was 10 bucks cuz it was the runt of the flock and always causing the shepherd trouble" said Nya
"Alright you two thats enough, look Zane hasn't bothered us about the sheep, and to be honest a pet really is the best thing for him to have right now considering how depressed he's been" said Cole, immediately covering his mouth after the last bit
" Zane is depressed? Why the heck hasn't he told us?" asked Kai
"Look forget i said any alright, he didn't want to drag any of us into his problems, we don't have a ton of money right now because he's seeing a therapist, and please don't say anything to him because he made me promise to keep this a secret, i hooked him up with my dad's old therapist and my dad manage to get a good rate for Zane" said Cole
"And how do YOU know all this?" asked an angry kai
"Because I'm His husband damn it" shouted Cole
"WHAT!?" coroused the others
"Look Zane and I have been dating for a while now, we've been officially together ever since we got him back at chen's island, we got married in secret shortly after Morro was dealt with we've been keeping it a secret for over a year now and well I was going to tell you earlier but the everything with Morro and the hands of time and just recently the SOG, the only reason my dad managed to get a good rate was because he used the family discount" said Cole
"But neither of you wear any kind of wedding band and I've never seen Zane with any kind of engagement ring?" asked Nya. Cole pulled a long chain with a ring at the end out of the neck of his shirt
"We wear them on these necklaces to keep things secret from the crazy fans and paparazzi" said Cole
"Why wouldn't you tell us?" asked Kai softly
"Because not everyone approves of relationships like mine and Zane's, ok, I know Jay's parents don't and sensei always frowned at the demonstrations on TV, so I know he didn't like it" said Cole
"Is that why Zane is depressed? Because he feels that he can't be himself around anyone except you?" asked Nya sadly
"exactly , it's legal for us to be married but i don't want to receive any hate and so we can't go public with our marriage, Zane's sheep won't be sold at the fair because it's Zane's therapy sheep" said Cole sitting at the table
"Cole? If I may ask, how do you know that Jay's parents are against those kind of relationships?" asked Nya
"Because everytime we're over there I always see that stupid paraphernalia that the anti gay protesters give out and protest signs" said Cole putting his head in his hands
"I'm going to go ask Jay what he thinks and if he can do something about his parents, you and Zane deserve to be happy and deserves to be able to be together without being in secret" said Nya kindly
"That would be great, can you also ask Misako how she feels about it, I just don't want to come out fully if everyone in this house isn't approving of this" said Cole
"Sure" said Nya walking out
"I need to go let Zane know that you guys know about us now" said Cole
"Alright" nodded Kai as Cole walked out. Lloyd walked back into the room
"So how are we going to get him back?" asked lloyd
"Make him eat his own chilli but we'll do that later, right now I need to ask you something really important" said Kai
"Sure" said Lloyd
"How do you feel about the Lgbtq community" asked Kai
"I've got nothing against them, heck one time I caught brad and gene kissing in the closet, the only problem I had with it at the time was purley the fact that it was kissing and eight year old me thought kissing of any kind was gross" said Lloyd, Kai let out a breath he hadn't known he was holding in
"That's great Lloyd, you have no idea how happy I am to hear that" said Kai
"Why? Are you gay or something?" asked Lloyd
"Nah, I'm straight but Zane and Cole are married to each other and have been keeping it a secret for a while now " said Kai
"Really? Thats awesome, honestly I was wondering when those two would get together, seriously those two are soul mates, every time i try and use either one of their elements the other one practically throws a fit in my core not want to be separated from it's mate, hence why i don't use earth or ice all that much, causes a migraine if I try" said Lloyd with a small chuckle
"Is your mom cool with it?" asked Kai
"Heck yeah, I have two aunts, my mom's only got one sister, no brothers" chuckled Lloyd
"Thats a big relief" said Kai
"Should be, the only thing mom is going to be mad about is not being able to spend months planning a wedding" chuckled Lloyd
"Great now to get back at Cole" said Kai
"There's a whole tub of his chili in the fridge, heat that up and set it on the table with a note" said Lloyd
"Great" said Kai grabbing a bowl and using a bit of flame to heat it up then he wrote a note while lloyd answered a phone call.
"That was Zane, he won first prize today do now we have a check for ten grand, they're getting bread and milk now, and will be home in 5 minutes" said Lloyd
"Great the note is finished how does this sound?
Dear Cole,
Sorry for trying to choke you earlier I made you some chilli to say sorry
(P.S Lloyd helped)
-Kai" asked Kai
"Great, now we hide and wait" said Lloyd
"Hey you two, so Misako is totally cool with it apparently her sister is lesbian so there is absolutely no animosity on her part, and Jay stormed out to go yell at his parents for being discriminating, apparently Jay is bi" said Nya
"Cole and Zane will be happy to hear that" said Kai
"Yeah they will, and can one of you get Wu off the couch, ever since he's become a teenager he won't stop watching rascar and eating potato chips" said Nya
"I'll go deal with it" saighed Lloyd. When Cole and Zane got home they went into the kitchen where Cole saw the bowl of chili and the note, he took a bite of the chili and promptly spit it out
"KAI! LLOYD!" shouted Cole, Zane giggled before resting his head on his husband's shoulder and letting out a sad sigh
"Something wrong love?" asked Cole
"Just tired, I really don't want to keeping hiding our relationship but with Jay's parents and Wu, I'm just scared of what could come if they were to find out" said Zane, Cole wrapped his arm around Zane
"Well according to Nya Jay never knew that his parents were even against it and now he's pissed at them because he's bi and doesn't want to be an outcast in his own family and misako is fine with it, her sister is lesbian" said Cole
"That's a relief" said Zane
"Come on, let head to bed, now that all of our 'brothers' know about us, I see no reason we can't finally sleep in the same bed" said Cole lifting Zane into his arms and carrying him to the bedroom kissing him passionately. Zane smiled finally truly happy.
