Well I decided it was time for some downright fluff! This is based partly around the short Ninjago clip from what I think is season 10 shown at this years San Diego Comic Con, so if you haven't seen it you may be a bit confused and this is definitely a spoiler for you if you haven't seen it...You have been warned!

Thank you again for the reviews, so glad to see people enjoying my little ramblings :)

Final warning, this is definitely fluffy and, ahem, a little heated... Enjoy!

Who likes fluff? We do!

It had been a total coincidence that he had gone to visit his parents on the exact same day, and near enough at the exact same time, that Jay had also decided to go. Although it took a lot of persuasion for the latter to believe that that is exactly what it was; no Kai had not been stalking him or plotting some kind of disruption to his plans. But that is what happened, and the look on Jay's face when Kai strolled up the stairs to the flat above Four Weapons, whistling and loudly announcing he was home, was absolutely priceless. And then suspicion hit Kai like a train hurtling towards him at break neck speed. Why was Jay sat with his dad whilst his mom was busy in the kitchen making them some tea? Why was Jay sitting in his mom's armchair, looking red and flustered? Why was Jay…wait…

"What are you doing in my parent's house?" Kai looked around, bewildered. He knew Nya wasn't here; he'd just said goodbye to her as he set off, like, half an hour or so ago in the workshop.

Jay rubbed the back of his head, nervously looking from Ray back to Kai, then back to Ray again.

"Heh, eh…well that's a funny story, err…"

"Ok, well I'm waiting." Kai's eyebrows knit together, arms folded, those dangerous amber flecks starting to swirl in his eyes... Jay gulped and then started squealing.

"Ok, ok. I was just here, asking… asking your dad…" Ray leant forward in his armchair, looking at Jay intently as the blue ninja squirmed in the chair opposite him.

As Ray turned to meet his son's eye it crossed Jay's mind how similar they both looked to each other, mirror images, peas in a pod just one being older than the other. Both spikey haired, both filled with fire…Oh! He was in the process of potentially upsetting one current and one previous master of fire… And both were now staring at him, waiting…two pairs of dark eyes, narrowing…

"Yes…?" Ray this time, eyebrows also knitted together… Ah shoot!

"I wanted to know if it is ok if I, I mean… to ask your permission to…ah dammit! Can I ask Nya to be my yang?" The last sentence came out in a superfast, high pitched, typical Jay squeal, and as soon as he said it he covered his mouth with both hands, eyes wide. He took in deep, gulping breaths...

Ray and Kai looked at each other, turned to look at Jay, who was now on the verge of hyperventilation, and then looked at each other again. Ray leaned forward, stroking his facial hair and looking deep in thought. They all heard the teapot in the kitchen being put down gently and the soft, gliding footsteps of Kai's mom, Maya, as she came and stood with the trio. She squeezed Jay's shoulder and looked at her two spikey haired, for once silent, men in her life and rolled her eyes.

"Come on you two, give the poor boy a break." Jay looked up at her, eyes silently thanking her, and then dragged his eyes to meet those of the now stood up Ray.

"So, err…"

Kai suddenly spun round to Jay, the sudden movement making Jay inadvertently flinch. Oh no… and then gasped as his brother swept him up onto his feet and wrapped him in a huge hug. He could feel the extra heat generated by Kai's body radiating through him, comfortingly, and he felt himself flop with relief against the fire ninja's taller body. Of course it was Nya's dad's permission that Jay had come to ask for, but this unspoken permission from her super-duper, stupidly over protective older brother meant so much more, and he hugged Kai back, burying his face into the bright red gi and ignoring the fact that Kai was now ruffling his hair.

"As long as you continue to protect her, as I know you have done, then you have my blessing." The deeper tones of Ray's voice rang like music in Jay's ears as he slapped the master of lightening on the back, Maya moving over and standing next to her stocky and definitely slightly foreboding husband, taking his hand.

"And mine" her smooth, reassuring voice purred. That was it. Jay was overcome, bursting into tears.

"Ah come on Jay, you're getting me all wet!" Kai laughed, brushing him off then landing him with a fist bump, before putting his hand over his eyes in mock exasperation.

"Oh FSM, I'm going to end up with Zaptrap as a bro in-law…"

This had been a few days ago, and despite reassurances and some mighty fine coaching from himself on how best to do so, Jay had not yet done the deed and asked her to be his yang. Kai was made up for his little sister; they had been together long enough, Nya and Jay, and he had grown to be fond of his little auburn haired, lightning mouthed blue clad brother. He admired the way that Kai's overprotectiveness had not deterred him from pursuing his sister, even if Jay had tried to become subtler and sneakier about it all after the perfume incident. Kai smiled to himself, thinking back. He was more than fond, and he knew Jay and Nya were good for each other; they were happy being geeky together. Although she was definitely starting to get suspicious of the way her big brother kept on smiling and gazing at her in an "even dorkier fashion than normal" she had put it when she had challenged him and then stepped back with a soft "Oh!" before Kai had had a chance to think up an excuse (she had decided that his being in love was doing some strange things to her brother, and although she thought it was a bit, well, disconcerting, there were definitely worse things he could be doing to her to wind her up!). So he had just grinned at her, shrugging and walking away. Let her think that, he grinned... Jay would do it, in his own unique Jay way, and in his own time. But hopefully he wouldn't take too much longer. Smiling Kai rolled onto his back on his bed, bringing up the screen on his Borgphone and skipping past the music track which had just begun to play from his playlist. The opening chords of OneRepublic started up, Burning Bridges. Readjusting his earbuds he started to hum to himself; he loved this track, pressing the little button on the buds to turn the volume up higher. He could hear Zane and see him looking at him disprovingly, telling Kai that listening to music at such volumes would undoubtably damage his ear drums. Sorry Zane, he thought, some music simply cannot be played any other way.

Despite the volume of the music in his ears, Kai was starting to drift off when his phone buzzed, startling him and nearly making him drop the phone which was resting on his chest. Lifting it up and squinting at the brightness of the screen in the dim room he smiled immediately as he read the notification screen.

SKY: Hey Fireboy, you still awake? x

It was getting late, already getting dark outside, but yeah, he was definitely awake now. Propping himself up against his pillows he quickly replied,

KAI: Sure am beautiful. Whatcha doing?

SKY: … … …

He watched the screen patiently for what seemed like an age, the dots flickering as she typed. Finally,

SKY: Missing you :(

His breath caught, it had only been a couple of days since they'd seen each other last. But yeah, he missed her too.

KAI: Miss you too... x

Looking forward to the weekend. I think…

She was threatening something to do with water but she wouldn't tell him exactly what she was plotting. But she was promising, insisting, that it was something positive and that he would definitely enjoy himself. He sighed, looking at his bedside clock. 8.39pm. It was starting to get on. The buzz brought an immediate smile to his face as he refocussed onto the cracked screen of his phone.

SKY: me too. Can't come quick enough x

KAI: You not working this evening?

Sky: No. Finished early for the night. Perks of being the owner you know?

Hmm, a thought passed through his mind and his eyes flicked back to his clock. It wasn't that late, not really, and he could be there within, hmm, 40 minutes, give or take. Quicker if he took his energy dragon part of the way…

He leapt up, grabbing his hoodie and shrugging it on, almost tripping over the wire where he had his phone connected up to its charger. Scurrying out of his room and flicking off the lights, near enough taking the stairs two at a time so making Lloyd and Jay (eurgh, still not done it then Jay?!) jump, looking over from the film they watching on the sofa.

"I'm off out guys."

"Now? What about training?" Lloyd lifted an eyebrow at the hurrying master of fire, then turned and grinned knowingly at Jay.

"I'll be back for training in the morning." He threw his shoes on and a smirk crossed his lips, reaching for his phone and sending her a quick message.

KAI: Night sweetheart, I'm off to bed x

"Don't do anything I wouldn't do." Jay called out to him as he exited the building. Plenty of chance of that, he thought to himself, nimbly avoiding all of the training equipment in the yard and closing the main gate behind him, quickly summoning his elemental energy dragon, Flame.

"Hey boy." He murmured as the magnificent beast shimmered into life and stretched its wings. Kai swung up onto the warm, scaly yet smooth back and they lifted up into the night.

It didn't take long to get to the outskirts of the city. Once they reached the more congested streets Kai dismounted whilst they were still airbourne, landing neatly on his feet and allowing Flame to disappear, not particularly wanting to draw attention to himself. Besides, her apartment building wasn't far from here. He walked through the bustle of the bars on the main avenue, blinking at the bright lights and stepping round the merry makers, giving the occasional high five and fist bumps to the city's residents who recognised the red ninja. He politely stopped for a couple of selfies with some fans, trying to keep going on his way as quickly as he could without offending anyone. He stole a quick look at his phone, feeling a small pang of guilt as he read her disappointed reply

Sky: Oh. Ok. Night then x

Then he brightened as he thought about the look on her face when he got there, quickening his step and nearly sending a couple coming his way flying as he turned the corner to her street with a little too much blind haste and enthusiasm.

"Sorry!" He called over his shoulder, barely breaking pace.

Luckily, someone else was leaving her building as he got there, so he managed to scoot in through the main door without having to buzz her, meaning he could get even closer before revealing his presence. The lift seemed to take forever to get to him, but the doors slid open just as he started to think about going through the door to the stairwell and taking the stairs. He stepped to the side as a young couple climbed out, almost making him groan out loud with longing as they gazed at each other. He quickly punched the button for her floor and sighed with relief as the doors slid back closed and the lift started its impossibly slow climb up to the eight floor. Finally the doors reopened and he practically bounded out, taking a breath to compose himself as he walked down the corridor to her door. Tugging his shirt down and running a hand through his hair, Kai suddenly realised he hadn't even checked his appearance before leaving, and momentarily hesitated outside her door. But then it was too late, her door opened and she was there, clutching a bag of garbage for the chute and wearing her baggy, comfy slacks with a vest top, hair scraped back into her signature high pony tail. Perfection. Her mouth dropped open and she dropped the garbage, managing to utter a surprised "Kai!" before his arms wrapped around her, one hand gently ruffling up into her hair and the other pulling her waist into him as his lips met hers firmly, intently and with an unbridled passion which immediately made her gasp. Using a foot to blindly nudge the dropped garbage bag out of the doorway, not able or wanting to break away from his embrace, Skylor pulled her master of fire into her corridor, leaning against the wall and smiling up into his eyes when they finally broke away from each other, both breathless.

"Well this is a surprise." She whispered into his ear, arms wrapped around him and nuzzling his neck sweetly.

"A good one I hope." Kai pulled back, staring into those deep green eyes with nothing but love. She smiled and kissed his neck, right next to his throat, forcing him to moan softly.

"Absolutely" she softly murmured as she pulled him further into the apartment, pushing the front door shut firmly behind her with her foot.
