Jaya Oneshots and Stories

Negligence

"JUST DIE ALREADY, UGH!"

Her eyes shot open, her hand curling into a fist. She quickly flew out of her bed as she grabbed her spear out of its holster on the wall. Adrenaline coursed through her veins as she almost burst through her bedroom door and sprinted towards the source of the yelling which happened to be the gaming room of the monastery.

The door being already open, Nya ran inside, immediately going into her fighting stance. The noises of the clicking of a controller and low, concentrated huffing and frustrated grunting brought the girl back to her senses as she realized her boyfriend was sitting on the huge couch all by himself, wearing his headset and playing a game of whatever the heck that was, she didn't know.

"Is everything okay?" She asked, putting her spear into its holster on her back.

Jay either didn't hear her, or he ignored her due to the fact that he did not respond. Frustrated, she stepped closer to him and sat down next to him, her legs crisscrossed. She looked at the TV screen to see that he was playing one of the shooter games they had in the monastery.

Nya was highly against games that contained this much violence, but in the end, all of the boys except for Zane agreed on buying them. They reasoned they were already used to violence, being ninja, and this wouldn't affect them at all.

And ever since those games entered the monastery, the boys played them at any spare minute they could. And it was more than frustrating.

She tapped on his shoulder, trying to gain his attention. "Jay?"

"Not now." He answered coldly as he wiggled a bit away so that the tapping would stop. His eyes never left the screen.

She glared at him before taking another look at the screen. "Jay, you shouldn't be-"

"I said not now!" Jay repeated a little bit harsher.

"I want to talk to you. Could you please pause the game?" She asked, her anger growing impatient.

He groaned. "It's a multiplayer game, I can't just pause it. Now go."

She rolled her eyes, annoyed. "Then listen to me while you're playing. Can you do that?"

Jay didn't spare her a look, but only nodded slightly.

She sighed. "Look, now that you woke me up from my nap that I was actually enjoying, thank you very much, I did some thinking."

"Ugh."

Nya glared at him, feeling her blood boil. "What?"

"Nothing!"

She narrowed her eyes at him before she sighed. "Jay, we haven't really been on a date in a while."

"Okay?"

The Master of Water felt like she was talking to a wall at this point. "So I wanna go on a date with you. We can go to a nice restaurant, or do something fun together, or-"

"Can't you see I'm busy?" He interrupted her.

"What?" Nya couldn't believe her ears.
