So I switched up my writing style for this little glacier one-shot. If you don't like it let me know and I won't write like this again because it was a pain in the neck, if you do want more like this I can try to do more like this.
He never thought about it when he did it, the words simply left his mouth on their own, two little words
"I'm fine"
And no more attention was paid.
Those two words grew to be an assumption on everyone's part.
...
"We are no longer compatible, we are two different people now, it's over Zane, I'm sorry,"
"Hey man are you ok?"
"I'm fine"
Lie
….
"May I be the first to announce Mr. And Mrs. Lloyd and Pixal Garmadon,"
"Zane are you ok?"
"I'm fine,"
….
"I'm leaving to spend more time with my parents, the world is peaceful and they are getting older and need me,"
"I'll go with you,"
"Jay If anything happens to her you know I'll kill you,"
"Obviously,"
Laughter.
…
"My parents need help in the shop so I figure I'll help, will you guys be ok here?"
"Duh,"
"We'll be fine,"
"What Pix said,"
"Yes"
Lie
…
"I'm worried about you,"
"Why?"
The Earth Ninja's gaze was too intense
Look at the floor
"Zane, look at me,"
Eye contact
"Don't you dare say you're fine,"
"Why?"
"Because it's a lie,"
"Why does it matter?"
"Because I care about you, we all do,"
"Then why does everyone leave?"
"I'm still here,"
"Not forever,"
He suddenly remembers how a hug feels.
Tears
"Do you want me to call the others and have them come back?"
Guilt
"No, let them live their lives,"
"Zane, they care about you too,"
"Their lives are worth more than mine,"
Cole's glare
"Don't you dare say that again,"
"Why?"
"Because it's not true and you know it,"
"I wasn't lying,"
Confusion
"Zane, you matter to me more than anything in the world,"
"Why?"
"Because I love you,"
The hug tightens, Zane buries his face in Cole's chest.
"I love you too, I-I don't want to lose you,"
"I'm not going anywhere,"
"But what about-"
A finger on his lips
"We will find a way to go together,"
"Really?"
"Yes,"
Truth
"Now, tell me, are you ok?"
"I'm-
Pause as he struggles not to lie again
"No, but I think I will be, just...don't let go,"
"I won't"
truth
