Request: Jay/Nya and Cole/Seliel

Warnings: None

Nya stepped out of the bathroom, smoothing out the wrinkles and creases on her dress. "Well?" she asked Jay, giggling at his somewhat dumbfounded expression. "What do you think? I thought about going for a strapless dress at first, but then I saw this one and thought it'd be better for our date."

Jay stood with his eyes wide and mouth gaping open for a moment longer, before shaking his head, the corners of his lips turning up to form a smile. "I think you look amazing, Nya." The flowing fabric of her dress cut off barely below her knees, and complimented her physique quite well. She wore matching wedge sandals, and a silver necklace with a ruby pendant hung around her neck. Jay would be lying if he said she wasn't the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen in his life, and now he stood by that thought even more than before.

"So, are we heading out?" she asked, reaching her hands up to adjust his tie for him.

"Yep! Let me just grab my wallet and we'll be good to go!" He went to the table of the apartment's small kitchen, noticing that the tiny light on his phone was lit, indicating he had a text. He picked it up and checked the message, humming thoughtfully to himself.

"What is it?" Nya asked, coming over to stand at his side.

"Just Cole," he replied. "He's going on a date with Seliel tonight, and it turns out its at the same place we're going for ours."

"Well, tell him we can meet up at the restaurant then, and we can make it a double date!"

"Really? Are you sure?"

"Yeah! It'll just be you and me, and Cole and Seliel. It'll be fun!" She took his hand and led him out the door, making sure to grab the keys before shutting it behind them.

Jay had to be honest, he was hoping it would just be him and Nya on the date. After everything they'd been through, all he really wanted was some alone time with his girlfriend, or at least as alone as they could be in public. Sure, going on a double date with Cole and Seliel wouldn't be too bad, but he still felt it would be awkward after the whole "love triangle" issue.

Luckily for them, the restaurant was only around the corner from the apartment complex, so Jay and Nya arrived there earlier than they planned. While they waited for Seliel and Cole to show up, Nya rubbed her thumb reassuringly on the surface of Jay's hand, smiling up at him.

"I know you and Cole have forgiven each other and are trying to get used to not fighting for once," she said with a chuckle. "but I think first you need to loosen up a bit! It'll all be fine, don't you worry!"

He shrugged, giving a small smile. "Yeah... I mean, he might've hooked up with Seliel, but you're the best girlfriend anyone could ever hope for."

A smirk played upon her lips. "So... You're worried he might get a little envious because you're dating me?" Nya elbowed him playfully. "And to think, I thought you would be over that by now. I didn't know you were jealous!"

"Wha- No! No, I am not! If anything, I'm one hundred percent over it! I believe you. We are going to have a nice time, just us and Cole and Seliel, on a perfectly normal double date."

Before he could say anything more, a familiar voice called out to them. "Hey guys! Sorry we're late!"

Jay turned his head to see Cole, dressed up in a white button-up shirt and black vest and tie, rushing up to them, a wide smile on his face. Running at his side was Seliel, her blue-streaked red hair flowing behind her as she ran. He noticed how well her strapless navy blue dress suited her, but refused to be distracted by the beauty of Cole's girlfriend; he was here with Nya, after all.

"We got lost on the way here," Seliel panted, her grin matching Cole's almost perfectly. "Tall, dark, and clueless over here misread the street signs."

"Hey, it was only once! We got back on the right track soon enough, didn't we?" Cole protested. "Anyway, thanks for waiting. For a second I thought you guys would go in without us!"

Jay smirked. "Well, someone has to pay the bill, right?" he joked, leading the way into the restaurant.

Once they were seated, Jay beside Nya and Cole beside Seliel, they soon dissolved into casual conversation, discussing what they had done that day, how they had been doing since the last time they saw each other, and generally just exchanging personal stories. Even when their food arrived they were still locked in conversation.

However, Jay couldn't help but notice how much Cole had bragged about the things that Seliel had done back in her home village. He knew the black ninja was trying to make it seem as though he'd moved on from Nya, but at the same time it appeared as though he was trying to make Jay jealous in a friendly manner. Seliel seemed almost embarrassed by the constant praise Cole was giving her, and Nya didn't even seem to mind it, but Jay wanted to show Cole that he, too, had moved on from their arguments in the past.

"In fact, Seliel's basically considered the face of her village," Cole said, looking over at his girlfriend with admiration. "I don't think there's anyone there that doubts her abilities as a fighter, right?"

"Hey, come on, don't flatter me so much," she replied, a slight blush dusting across her cheeks. "But, yeah, I think there may be a few people in the village who actually think I can snap them like a twig. It's both awesome and strange that they think that, in my opinion."

Jay nodded in agreement, taking this as his opportunity to start bragging about Nya. "Yeah. I mean, I think a lot of people around here think the same about Nya. You know, with her being the Samurai and everything." He shot a smug grin at Cole, who raised a bushy eyebrow in confusion.

"Oh, I wouldn't say they're afraid of me," Nya said, a sheepish grin spreading across her face.

"They do highly admire you, though. I'd count that as a win."

Understanding what Jay was up to, Cole frowned and decided to top Jay's bragging. "Well, Seliel is considered a village hero," he retorted. "The villagers don't think they've met anyone like her, and they think she's probably the best thing that's ever happened to them."

"Nya's got her own fan club starting up here," Jay replied, his tone becoming firmer. "It's composed of both guys and girls. Can you believe that? Even the girls admire her as much as the guys do!"

Nya and Seliel exchanged a suspicious look as their boyfriends argued. "Are they always like this...?" Seliel whispered, eyeing them in confusion. "I mean, I know there was some kind of issue between you and them, but I thought Cole said it was over with."

"It's supposed to be," she replied. "But I guess now they have some other issues that they have to sort out first."

As they continued to bicker, Seliel jerked her thumb toward the doorway, raising her eyebrow to suggest that perhaps they should leave. Nya's lips formed a tight line and she nodded, pushing the bill the waiter left for them to the centre of the table as she stood, following Seliel out.

"Seliel is capable of making several different kinds of smoke bombs using multiple chemical combinations!" Cole snapped, not noticing that his girlfriend and Nya had already left.

"Nya is capable of building her own weapons from scratch to use as the Samurai, including making weapons for her mech!" Jay shot back.

The two girls turned to look over their shoulders at their boyfriends, frowns present on both of their faces.

"Boys," said Seliel with a shake of her head.

"I know, right?" Nya replied, walking out onto the streets of New Ninjago City with Seliel following quickly behind.

Just some "my girlfriend's better than yours" stuff between Cole and Jay. And Nya and Seliel realizing they're both idiots. But they're wonderful idiots.

Thank you Guest for requesting these pairings (and for the idea of a double date)! Stay tuned! Trust me, the next pairing is one I'm sure many will love ;)
