Tell me how we're not alike
But we work so well
And we don't even know why
Funny how the stars crossed right
Cause we work so well
And we don't even know why
You can call it fire and ice
But we work so well
And we don't even know why

Kai grasped the redhead's hands in his comparitively warmer ones. He held them closer to his chest as he gazed into the girl's deep, blue eyes. Silence was the only sound passing between them, filled with a suspense so overwhelming, it could make a mountain crumble to dust.

At least that's the severity Kai thought he felt.

"Skylor, I really, really like you but this is something I have to disagree with you on."

The Master of Amber pouted, the hopeful twinkle in her eyes going out quicker than you could say 'Ninjago'. She gently tried to pull her hands away from Kai's chest. The brunet didn't let go but lowered their hands just to comply to her tugging.

Skylor gazed up pleadingly at the hot-head. "But I thought you said we would always support each other's decisions, respect opinions and allow preferences."

Kai sighed, regretting his choice of words without giving them a second thought. "I know what I said," he muttered, trying not to sound like too much of a statement-changer, "but that was before I knew what your preferences actually were."

The girl scowled, successfully retrieving her hands and folding her arms. "Well, that's what happens when you rush things. Although, cats shouldn't be that much of a problem."

Consequently, the two of them glanced down at their feet where a furry, white feline was padding about them, eventually coming to rub itself against Kai's ankles. The boy flinched, shifting away. The cat mewed its displeasure and turned to Skylor instead who only smiled lovingly at it.

Kai winced. "You don't understand. I hate cats!"

Skylor looked offended if not horrified. She immediately crouched down to pet the cat as if Kai's words had somehow physically hurt it. "Anyone who hates cats is a monster, Kai. You are a monster."

The brunet frowned. His face twisted in disgust when the cat began licking Skylor's hand, its fluffy tail flailing about in delight. "Ew! Sky, don't let it lick you!"

The redhead rolled her eyes. She caressed the cat's white coat of fur affectionately while glaring at her admirer on the contrary. "Stop calling her 'it'. Her name's Silverbell."

"You already named it?" asked an incredulous Kai who was of the opinion that animals should never be named because they were incapable of caring for anything beyond eating food and bringing chaos.

"She needs a fitting name if she's gonna be going to the cat shelter," Skylor replied distractedly, much more occupied with the cat's playful paw swiping.
