Request: Ash/Nya

Requested by: DeliciouslyDangerous1, NinjagoRose, ninjagolover14

Warnings: None


Nya walked through the park slowly, her gaze shifting left and right among the trees. She heard a faint rustling to her left, and her eyes followed suit, only to find another bush. She continued to creep forward, a smile playing on her lips.

She wasn't on a mission; her attire of a red sweater dress, black leggings, and ankle boots would indicate that easily. She hadn't told anyone what she was doing or where she was going, but if any of them found out, they would not have let her leave.

Kai would especially be against it, considering who it was she was meeting up with. Nya knew her brother had mostly grown out of his "overprotective" attitude over the past few years, but he still had instances of it. Sometimes he would grow wary of where she was going, especially if she said she would be out for more than a few hours.

She appreciated her brother looking out for her and making sure she was safe, but in this specific case, she almost wished he did not care what she was doing. It would certainly make things easier on her end.

Another faint rustling was heard behind her. Nya whipped around, but could not see anyone. However, she did see a puff of smoke very briefly. She smirked, and leaned back with her hands behind her. She whistled loudly, all while looking up at the sky, where the sun was barely peeking out from behind the clouds.

"Where, oh where, could he be?" she asked out loud. "I certainly don't know! I hope this doesn't mean I have to go home...!"

Just out of the corner of her eye, she saw another puff of smoke, and she turned her head in time to see Ash standing beside her. Her boyfriend's crooked smirk was a welcome sight, and she found herself once again entranced by his narrowed, smoky-grey eyes.

"Found you!" she announced, then sprang from where she stood to tackle him in a hug.

He was faster, however, and disappeared into a cloud of smoke as quickly as she jumped at him. She stumbled forward when she landed, but he appeared behind her soon enough and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her towards his chest. He snickered into the back of her neck, then layered kisses against her skin. She squeaked and giggled, moving her hands down so they were on top of his.

It was just another one of their dates; Ash would text Nya - he could not call her since he technically could not speak - and she would go to wherever he was. She would search for him, and once they found each other, they would merely cuddle in some secluded area of their choosing. Nya adored these dates, since it meant not having to necessarily be in public most of the time.

"You're lucky I wasn't followed this time," she said as he nuzzled the back of her neck. "Last time I almost got caught as soon as I was leaving. I couldn't find anyone today, thankfully." She looked around at the trees surrounding them. "Of course, we could've just made some kind of fog cover."

He turned her around, raising an eyebrow curiously. She giggled at his confounded appearance before explaining further.

"You're the Master of Smoke, and I'm the Master of Water. You can make smokescreens anyway, so if I combine my powers with yours, we could create a fog cover so no one can see us." She grinned. "Wanna try it out?"

He stared at her for a moment longer, before returning the grin and taking one of Nya's hands in his. He held out his other hand to release a dark cloud of smoke in front of him, which was immediately joined by a light spray of water from Nya's hand. Together, a whitish-grey mist was produced, which spread throughout the park area. The mist thickened, and the couple could barely see any further than two feet in front of themselves. With the mist continuing to spread out and surround them in a pale glow, they huddled closer together.

"Kinda sucks that Kai doesn't like you that much, Ash," Nya murmured. "We wouldn't have to keep this so secret otherwise."

Ash sighed, reaching a hand up to comb his fingers through Nya's hair. His other hand was wrapped around her waist, gently tracing circles against the lower portion of her back. She then chuckled again, pulling back to look up at him.

"It doesn't matter to me, though. He can think whatever he wants."

She stretched up on her toes, eyes closed and lips pursed. Ash wasted no time in swooping down to claim her lips with his own, using the hand on the back of her head to pull her even closer. She slowly breathed through her nose as they kissed, throwing her own arms around his neck. At that moment, neither of them cared if anyone they knew saw them. In fact, as far as Nya was concerned, she hoped someone saw them if only to make them envious of their relationship.

"I knew it!"

Of course, she did not expect an interruption to come so soon. Nya and Ash quickly parted in surprise, turning their heads this way and that to see who had spoken. Through the thick mist, Nya could just make out a familiar silhouette, then groaned as Kai came into view.

Her brother scowled at them, but mainly at Ash. He folded his arms across his chest. "I knew you were seeing someone, and I'm totally okay with that, but I was honestly hoping it wouldn't be this guy!"

"Yeah, I get it, he fought you in the Tournament, we all remember the story," Nya said, glaring defiantly at him. "My question is, how did you find us? When I left the Bounty I couldn't find anyone."

"Like I said, I knew you were seeing someone," he explained. "I just kept an ear out for when you would be leaving today, and made my way into the city to keep an eye out for you."

"So you've been spying on me?"

He rolled his eyes. "You call it spying, I call it making sure this idiot doesn't do anything bad to you." Kai made sure to direct a glare in Ash's direction, who simply returned it with a sly grin.

"Ash wouldn't do anything to hurt me," Nya protested. She turned around to look at him. "Right?" Ash agreed with a nod of his head, wrapping his arms protectively around Nya to emphasize it.

Kai looked like he wanted to say more, but he simply gritted his teeth as his hands balled into fists at his sides. He grumbled the words when he finally spoke again. "Fine. If you want to be with the guy who was nothing but trouble for me, then go ahead." He gave an exasperated sigh, then glared once more at Ash. "You better not be an idiot."

Once Ash nodded earnestly, Kai whipped around and stormed back the way he came. Nya sighed, surprised by how quickly her brother had come and gone. She wondered if he truly was as angry as he was letting on, or if his competitive attitude with Ash was simply getting in the way of his common sense.

"Well," she finally breathed. "Now that that's over..." She slowly turned back around, grinning as Ash's hands slowly drifted down to rest on her hips. She placed her hands on his shoulders and leaned forward. "...where were we?"
