Sup. Uh-I was looking at traffic stats for this story and my Doctor Who story... And literal thousands of people have have read both of these combined. So like, that makes me famous, right?

Super Shadow 2018: Lol, can't tell if that's a prompt or not, so I'm asking you first.

Prompt: Kai and Zane decide that now that they are a couple, they should have nicknames for each other that nobody else is allowed to call them.

By: Me, but inspired by Nuppa Nuppa.


After coming back from another mission, Zane and Kai pared up as they did now that they were dating. Everyone was supportive and they made sure that the two were comfortable enough to show affection to each other around them. They had yet to kiss each other, and Jay was determined to be there when it happened.

"So like, when are you guys going to kiss already?"

Kai, being the hothead that he is, turned to Jay and glared at him. Zane placed a hand on his shoulder and pulled him away, before stepping forward himself. "At this moment, both of us are not comfortable with that display of affection. I, especially, have been having a hard time since I am a robot-"

"Nindroid, Zane. You're more human than a robot!"

"Yes, thank you Kai. Since I am a nindroid I have struggled with the idea that I have emotions, so I am uncomfortable with the idea kissing. Just recently I was finally able to hug my boyfriend. Now, if you want to truly be supportive of our relationship, you will be supportive of how we decide to pace it."

Jay chuckled nervously, Kai being angry was one thing, but Zane? That was almost unheard of. And both of their angers were directed at him. "Heh, uh-sorry. Uhm, bye!"

Kai wrapped his arms around Zane and put his head on his shoulder. "The was hot, Zane."

"Kai, not now. I get we are together but you do not need to flatter me so often." Zane sighed and turned and hugged Kai properly.

They stood there for a couple of moments, before Kai began to feel uncomfortable and pulled away. He grabbed his boyfriends hand, and pulled him to the sofa and they sat. Kai grabbed the thriller he was reading, The Silence of the Lambs. He read for a couple of minutes, trying to distract himself from Zane, he wanted ask something but was nervous in doing so, like every time he had to ask the ice ninja something.

After ten minutes, he couldn't take the anticipation. "Hey, Zane?"

Zane looked at him, putting down the book he was reading. "Do you need something, Kai. Is something bothering you?"

"Eh, kinda. Just... Should we have nicknames for each other? Like, we're dating and all, so don't you think we should? I don't know, nevermind-"

Zane released a breath. "I was actually wondering the same thing. I mean, this relationship we have is special, so we need special names for each other."

Kai blushed slightly, and nodded. "So what did you have in mind to try? And if you say something like 'honey,' or 'sweetie,' I'm breaking up with you."

"Well, that just eliminates many options, so this will not be difficult at all." Zane responded sarcastically.

"Relic."

Zane had a hurt expression on his face. "Because you think I am an object?"

"Nah, cause you're older than me. And you look like you belong in a museum."

"Is this how we're playing it? Porcupine hair."

Kai was completely offended by this. "My hair is amazing!"

"But it isn't because your hair is ridiculous, it's because porcupines are cute.

They stared at each other for a second before Kai groaned, turned, and leaned on Zane. "Snowball?"

Zane put one arm around Kai, hugging him. "Well, I think it could work. But, I don't want out nicknames to be defined by our powers. How about Smokey? Because you are a protective hothead and it's like smoke comes out of your ears when you get really mad."

Kai laughed. "Yeah, I like that. And everyone is going to think it's cause I'm the elemental master of fire. God, that's clever." He sat up suddenly and turned to Zane with an excited look. "Alright, I want to explain my reason for this nickname, and I won't say what it is until the I'm finished because I swear this doesn't have any ill intent, okay?" Zane nodded in agreement. "Okay, so. When I first realized I had a crush on you, I ignored it because I was only here to save my sister. And then I started to actually get to know you guys and I did want to stay. After, I acknowledged that I had a crush on you, but then I started to actively try and get rid of it. So I did everything I could, but it only seemed to get bigger the more I did. And I thought the crush had finally gone away when we found out that you're a nindroid, but it didn't And it was kind of like I was infected by you in some way. And I wanted to know if it was oaky if I called you Virus because you infected me and I can't get rid of you."

Zane thought about it for a few moments. He initially was hurt by the proclamation of 'virus,' but the description that Kai had said made it feel like that was the perfect way to describe their relationship. Because in any other universe they would not have gotten together. They were complete opposites. "I think it will take some getting used to... But I think I can accept that as a suitable nickname for myself."

Kai smirked kissed Zane on the cheek before getting up to find Nya, probably to tell her about the next step in his relationship with Zane. And, poor Zane, was sat their, a blushing mess, trying to form a coherent thought.


Sorry it's a bit short. Have a lovely day/night!

Zane, at the start of their relationship: I made tea.

Kai, having a bad day, but trying not to take it out on his new boyfriend: I don't want tea.

Zane: I didn't make tea for you, this is my tea.

Kai: Then why are you telling me?

Zane: It is a conversation starter.

Kai: That's a lousy conversation starter.

Zane, finding this to be a win: Oh, it it? We are conversing. Checkmate.

That was a terrible quote and I regret everything. I'm sorry.
