Gears twisted in his stomach and oil levels were high enough that he thought his wrist was leaking.

Zane was nothing short of nervous.

The more he felt his feelings, the more it tended to confuse the young nindroid. Whenever she was around the same feelings would occur.
Nothing made sense.
When she was gone, the feelings left with it slowly. When she entered the same room as him, it started again as if it had never left. Sometimes him thinking about her would make the feelings come back slightly as well. Zane was not familiar with it and that is what scared him. That is the reason behind his mainframe malfunctioning.

After a talk with the team he was able to find out what was going on with him.

He did not like the answer at all.

"You're in love, buddy," Jay had said first, not even looking up as he was currently designing the next vehicle as Wu wanted something made for a project. Silence filled the room and the white ninja sat with the thought. They were in the garage with the vehicles, keeping Jay company as well as doing the monthly maintenance for the place. It was their bonding time; or as Kai said, "bro time". The rest just called it hanging out.

"Are you sure?" Zane would trust Jay's judgment as he was the only one in a serious relationship, so he had expertise in the field. However, the white ninja hated the answer so much he wanted a second opinion.
More like he was waiting until he heard the answer he wanted.
Hint: it would have nothing to do with love or romance or anything of that sort.

Cole jumped in, a sheen of sweat on his forehead from moving the cars to different locations since they weren't allowed to drive them in the garage. He had to move them because cleaning was apart of the maintenance so he needed to move them to clean under them.
"You just said that you get nervous around her, find her appealing to look at, have a need to spend more time with her, and even thought about kissing her. And you're still doubting your feelings?"

It was like the lost puzzle piece was found and joined the rest of the pieces and things started to make sense. He recognized his patterns the same way Jay felt about Nya, and Kai with Skylor. The heart shape eyes, the admiration they held, the longing to be with them. Of course, Zane would naturally distance himself from Y/n out of fear. He didn't know how to say his feelings right.

This has never happened before.
And that made the empty pit in his stomach a bit deeper than before.

"So what are you gonna do, tin can?" Kai asked after he welded two pieces of metal together for Jay to use as a model concept for the drawing. He intertwined his fingers and stretched his arms forward to relieve the tightness he had been feeling in his shoulders. Zane wasn't really contributing much at the moment since he was supposed to check the garage security system and see if it was still up to par. With the thoughts from the past weeks and maybe even couple of months, he couldn't contain his thoughts anymore.

He looked at his hands and his brows furrowed at Kai's question. "What do you mean?"

"You're going to confess right?" The fire ninja replied, pulling his arms over his head and behind him, his fingers still intertwined. Cole cringed at the action and faced himself away.

"You mean letting Y/n aware of what I am feeling as well?"

"Duh. Who knows, maybe she feels the same way?" Jay said to him with a shrug. He completed his drawing and put the pencil he was using on top of his ear.  He rolled up the sheet and put it in his back pocket. "Can't avoid your feelings forever." He then picks up the metal model and inspects it.

"That is what I am confused about. How do I have feelings? When I found out I was a nindroid, I assumed that I couldn't attain feelings for someone else." The other three ninja then began to view his problem. They couldn't exactly give him an answer as Zane was a very unique being. Unlike Pixal and the rest of the other droids, Zane was made with very unique materials and how Dr. Julien did it was a mystery. Especially for the times they lived in.

"Wish we could tell you, but we don't know either," Cole spoke up above the silence that began.

Kai crossed his arms with a slight roll of his eyes. "Who cares? You have feelings for her and you have two options. Bottle them up or let her know."

•••••

Zane didn't actually have two options.

He had one and it wasn't the former but the latter. Forced wasn't the word to even describe how he felt about his friends pushing him to confess, disregarding the outcomes. Lloyd slipped a note under her door, telling her to go to the training room immediately. Luckily, Nya was in there with her to keep her occupied. When she walked into the room, she was more than shocked to see the nindroid holding flowers with a sheepish grin on his face.

She gave a confused smile back, walking towards him and stopped when she was about a foot away. Placing a hand on her hip, she furrowed her brows, speechless to say the least. Before she could get a word in, the flowers Zane held were shoved into her arms. She breathed in the fresh scent before looking up to the master of ice once more.

"Zane-"

"Please," he cut her off, "let me speak first." Knowing this is not his usual behaviour, she agreed with a nod. Now, the white ninja didn't have a digestive system but if he did, he would've thrown up.

Multiple times.

"When you are around me I feel different. I feel happier, odd, and confused. Whenever you are gone, I wish to be by your side. When we get paired up I feel elated to be sharing time with you. What I am saying is that I like you, Y/n. Or as Kai said: I like like you." With a heavy chest, Zane let out a breath. Hypothetically.
Y/n wanted to smile but she couldn't. With her past experiences she wasn't sure about jumping into another relationship.

A frown rested on her face with a small brow raised. "How do I know you are serious?"

"I want you. I have wanted you for so long but never realised my feelings. But now that I know what they are, I want to be with you. I have never felt this way for someone before and I want you to be the only person I feel this for. As you are my first and I hope for you to be my last."

Tears flooded her eyes in happiness, feeling the sincerity and love behind his words.

"Maybe it's a good time to mention that I like like you, too."
