Requested by: Guest, Savanah, GUEST (Cole/Jay), DivingHydra (Kai and Nya sibling stuff)

Request(s): Cole/Jay, Kai and Nya sibling bonding

Warnings: Yaoi

Nya never expected them to actually get along. Even though the love triangle issue was over, she didn't expect them to put aside their differences so quickly, and go back to acting as though nothing was wrong in the first place. Not that she was complaining, of course. It was nice to go back to when Cole and Jay were actually friends.

They were spending time together at the theatre that day, having just seen a movie Jay was looking forward to seeing. Nya expected Cole to argue with him the second the idea was brought up, but to her surprise, he was in full support of Jay's suggestion.

Now they were walking home, and Cole and Jay were wrapped up in a conversation about the movie, paying close to no attention that Nya was walking behind them.

"And that part where the guy nearly had his head ripped off by that zombie?" Jay laughed, a wide grin plastered across his face. "It was so cheesy, but it was probably the best part of the whole movie!"

"I know! And the special effects sucked, there were explosions every five minutes!" replied Cole with a snort. "But I guess that's what you'd expect from a movie called 'Invasion of the Robot Zombies'. Why did you wanna see it, anyway?"

"I wanted to see it because it sucked," he replied. "That's the whole reason I see those kinds of movies in the first place. They're so terrible, they're awesome! Ask anyone!"

Cole laughed, elbowing his arm playfully. "If it makes sense to you, Zaptrap, then I won't argue."

"I thought you weren't gonna call me that anymore," the redhead whined.

"I still think it suits you."

Nya smirked at their friendly banter, feeling better knowing they were getting along much better than they were before. At this point, however, she decided to try and join in the conversation.

"Yeah, it was a pretty crappy movie," she spoke up. Neither of them seemed to notice her speaking, still caught up in their own conversation. Nya frowned and cleared her throat. "Guys?" Still no response. "Hey!"

Cole and Jay immediately stopped talking, and turned around to look at Nya with the same bewildered expressions. The corner of Nya's mouth curved upward, and she felt greatly amused by their near-identical reactions.

"Oh, hey Nya," Jay said, smiling sheepishly. "Sorry about that, it's just really exciting to talk about this movie and all..."

Cole shook his head. "Jay, I don't think that's really helping here. Sorry again, Nya."

Nya shrugged. "Whatever. I'm just happy you guys are finally getting along again." The two ninja exchanged a proud glance upon hearing that. As long as Nya wasn't struggling with her feelings between the two of them anymore, they were just fine with what she had to say about them.

It wasn't long before they reached the apartment complex, cars lazily driving past as the sky darkened into night. Once they opened the doors and headed up the stairs, Nya spoke up. "So, what're you two going to do now? Just go back to your apartment rooms?"

"Probably," Jay answered. "Why? Where are you heading off to?"

"I just want to talk to Kai about something," she said. "Nothing too big, just...personal stuff."

Cole nodded, taking Jay up the next flight of stairs with him. "We'll leave you to it then. Goodnight, Nya!" he called.

"Goodnight!" she echoed, opening the door leading to the second floor's hallway. She walked down the rows of plain white doors until she reached the one with "205" printed along the top. She knocked, hearing a muffled "It's open" before turning the handle and going inside.

Kai was sprawled out on the couch, the television remote in his hand, mindlessly pressing the buttons, moving from one channel to the next. Nya smirked at him before sitting down on the floor. He turned his head to briefly return the smile before going back to his aimless channel surfing.

"So, I went to the movies with Cole and Jay today," she finally said.

"And how did that go?" he asked. "Not fighting over you again, are they?"

"No, they called some kind of truce after that happened, it's all good." She hesitated a bit before continuing, unsure of how to word what she wanted to say next. "And I don't know if it's just me, but...they seem a bit different now."

Kai raised an eyebrow, sitting up straight. "How so?"

"I don't know, they just..." She looked away, searching for the right word to describe it. "... I guess they just seemed closer than they'd ever been today. Kind of like it was more than friendship. I don't have a problem with it, it's just that after they've been fighting for so long, this just seems...strange."

Kai patted a spot on the couch beside him as an invitation for her to sit down. When she accepted, he said, "Well, it would all be thanks to you, wouldn't it?" he asked. "You convinced them that what they were doing was stupid and immature. I think now they're trying to make amends or something." He frowned. "But it being closer than friendship... I mean, we've always been a pretty close group, so it might not be what you think."

She smiled. "You're right. And even if something did come of it, it'd be fine by me. They're pretty much perfect for each other. Jay's funny and cute, Cole's strong and would keep Jay out of trouble. They'd balance each other out."

"You got that right." He handed the remote to Nya. "Anything you feel like watching tonight?"

"I could go for a movie," she said, flipping through the channels just as he did. "I'd like to get that awful movie we saw out of my head. Not because it was scary, it was just terrible."

~o~o~o~o~

Cole poked his head out the door, looking left and right before ducking back inside the apartment room, shutting the door quietly behind him. He went to sit beside Jay on the couch, throwing an arm around the redhead's shoulders.

"Nya's gone?" Jay asked, leaning into Cole's side and resting his head on his broad shoulder. "She's not hanging around in the hallway somewhere?"

"Nope," he said, leaning in to kiss Jay's forehead. "We're good. I don't think she suspects a thing."

Jay looked up, blue eyes sparkling with worry. "But she did notice the way we were acting with each other earlier, didn't she? She probably thinks something's up, right?" He gulped. "What if she thinks really badly of us? What if she starts to think she's not good enough for either of us because we chose each other? What if-"

Cole shut him up with another kiss, directly on the lips this time. Jay's eyes were still wide as the kiss carried on, but his shoulders soon relaxed again, and he sighed against Cole's lips. There was something about the kiss that made all of Jay's worries and anxieties fade away, as though they had never existed in the first place. How could Cole be such a serious person, but also be so gentle at the same time?

When they finally parted, Cole gave a lopsided grin before he spoke. "It'll all be fine, Jay. Trust me on that, okay? Besides, Nya's not the type of girl to think something like that."

Jay opened his mouth, about to deny it, but realized Cole was right, and returned the smile. "Okay. I trust you." Just before Cole could do anything else, Jay raised a finger. "But you better not break that trust...Dirtclod."

Cole smiled wider at the affectionate use of the nickname, and pulled Jay into a tight hug. "Wouldn't dream of it, Zaptrap."

I decided to merge the Cole/Jay and Kai and Nya bonding requests together because I felt they worked well together :3

And I have a feeling "Invasion of the Robot Zombies" was directed by Michael Bay. Y'know, because explosions.

Thanks to those who requested everything in this oneshot! Stay tuned!
