When the others had caught on that Lloyd and Kai were going to sleep together that night, they very lightly made fun of them.

"HAHAHAHA YOU'RE GOING TO SLEEP TOGETHER, THAT'S WHAT THEY ALL SAY, HAHAHAHA!!!" Jay burst into laughter.

"JAY!!" Cole hit him round the head but started laughing as well. "He isn't wrong though,"

"Aghhhh, guysss," Lloyd groaned, covering his face with his hands in embarrassment. Kai crossed his arms and shook his head in sarcastic disapproval. Nya giggled despite her attempts at not joining in with Cole and Jay.

"Don't be... too loud, if you know what I mean," Nya winked, and couldn't hold back her laughter when Lloyd started buzzing with embarrassment, Cole and Jay fell to the floor wheezing. Even Kai had to blush at that one.

"Oh come on you guys, you're so immature," Kai rolled his eyes, patting Lloyd's head trying to calm him down.

"I don't understand, how could they be loud if they are sleeping?" Zane's innocence made all of them laugh harder, even Kai joined in, but Lloyd shrunk back even further.

"Oh man, Zane, buddy, we're not talking about sleeping," Jay finally managed to say after regaining his breath. Cole was still bent on the floor, half-coughing, half-laughing. Zane stood in thought for a moment, the others all waiting for him to understand in an expecting silence. Lloyd was gently tugging at Kai's sleeve, having recovered from his head-throbbing embarrassment.

"Oh, wait," Zane looked over at Kai and Lloyd. "Are you going to have--" Zane wasn't able to finish his sentence as Jay and Cole burst into more fits of laughter.

"Zane!! Not you too!!!!" Lloyd was so hot with embarrassment his voice came out in a squeal, making Nya, Zane, and even Kai laugh too. Lloyd pouted and turned away. "Well then forget about your cuddles, Kai," Lloyd remarked sarcastically.

"Wait what!? Noooo! I'm sorry Greenbean!" Kai stifled his laughter and hugged Lloyd from behind.

Lloyd waved him off.

"No no, too late for apologies, good night." Lloyd walked off making a show.

"Lloyd!" Kai played along and ran after him, the others all still laughing.

"Seriously though, make sure you go easy on Lloyd!" Cole called after them.

"GOODNIGHT TO YOU TOO!" Kai yelled back, more laughter ensuing. Lloyd took Kai's sleeve and dragged them to Kai's door.

They stood for a moment calming down, giggling together at the mess of the teasing, and finally sighed, getting their breath back.

"Ok, I'm going to go get changed in my room, and you should take a shower," Lloyd was the first to break their silence.

"I would say I'm insulted but I actually want to rinse off, so I'm not arguing," Kai chuckled and kissed Lloyd on the cheek before going into his room. Lloyd smiled.

"Good, I'll be waiting in your bed."

When Kai got out of the shower, he noticed his face in the mirror and stared. From all the fuss with the nurses, he knew that his scar and bruise were pretty bad, but... maybe it was just the heat from the shower, but he looked terrible. No wonder his scar had stung so badly. Along with his eye bags and empty eyes, it all made him feel like he wasn't staring at himself.

"Kai? You good?" Lloyd spoke from the other side of the door. Kai quickly put on his pyjamas.

"Uh, yeah, I'm-- I'm fine I just..." He zoned out again, about to put on his shirt, when he noticed his chest now that the mirror was clearer.
