6- Making fun of one another
Thank you so much for reviewing!
She stretched her arm as far out as it would extend, but she still couldn't reach the cup on the top shelf. She cursed under her breath and stood on her tippy toes, but to no avail.
Nya sighed. "Challenge accepted, cabinet." She pulled herself onto the counter, using the edge as a handhold. She stood her knees and finally was able to reach the cup. She grabbed it, then slid off of the counter.
"Finally." She muttered, blowing her bangs out of her face. She filled the glass with water, then she turned around-
-and screamed, dropping the cup. It shattered on the floor, its contents spilling everywhere. Cole was on his knees in front of her, clutching his stomach from laughing so hard.
"Overlord, COLE!" Nya yelled, guiding her bare feet around the broken glass, and walking over him to slap him playfully.
Cole inhaled sharply. "Your face...that...oh my overlord...that was funny."
Nya huffed, then bent down to pick up the broken glass. When Cole finally settled down, he helped her pick up the remains of the cup. They dumped the broken pieces into the trash, then Nya retrieved a towel. She wiped up the water.
"Why were you on your knees?!" She asked.
He shrugged. "I wanted to see the world from your point of view. Everything is so big."
Nya slapped him, her face red. "Shut up! You don't have to make fun of me. I know I'm short!"
Cole looked up at Nya, still on his knees.
"This must be how I look to you." He teased.
"Shut up!" She yelled, getting irritated. Cole stood. He was a good foot and a half taller than she was. He stepped around her, then traveled to the fridge, opening it and pulling out a piece of his beloved cake.
Nya smirked, an opportunity for revenge rising. She stepped towards him and poked him in the stomach. "If you keep eating like that, then your going to lose those gorgeous abs of yours." She poked him again.
Cole huffed. "Whatever. And it would affect you more than it'd affect me."
Nya cocked an eyebrow. "Do you want me to be sad?"
He shrugged, biting into the cake, not even bothering to get a fork.
Nya tried to get a cup again. The cup was further back in the cabinet this time. Nya gritted her teeth and tried to reach it.
She could feel Cole's smirk plowing into her shoulder blades.
She heard a clink behind her. Nya tried her climbing-on-the-counter technique. She squeaked when Cole snaked his arms around her waist and pulled her off. She flailed in his arms, laughing and squealing.
"Put me down, weirdo!" She yelled. The earth master carried her to the couch and set her down there. Nya yelled in surprise again, then she poked his stomach again. He retaliated by giving her a kiss. Her lips conformed into a smile as she pulled the earth ninja on top of her.
He radiated heat off of his skin. Pinned under him, she put her hand to his cheek, stroking his cheekbone with her thumb. He pressed her hand to his cheek and closed his eyes. He gave her hand a squeeze, then opened her eyes. She found herself caught up in the sea of swirling greens in his eyes.
"Your eyes are beautiful, Cole." Nya said. "They're so green!"
He smiled. "Your eyes are pretty, too. They're a weird mix of silver and hazel. They're...unique. Beautiful." He thought for a moment. "You know, for someone so short, you fit in my arms perfectly."
"Destiny." Was all Nya said, then they fell asleep.
