MORTAL KOMBAT SCENARIOS

raiden

|your point of view|
electric love

it was peaceful in the teahouse despite you being there at such a late hour—that time usually being its most popular hour—but you wouldn't have noticed anyways as you were so deep in thought...

you couldn't believe that only a little while ago you were fighting to save earthrealm and now you were sitting happily with your friends, enjoying their presence and random conversations...you can feel a little smile grow on your face at the thought of them...

a hand suddenly waves in your face and you slightly shake your head as you look to the person, your eyes lock with johnny's, "glad to have you back, what were you thinking about anyways?" you don't even get a chance to respond as the man slightly smirks, signaling that he was about to tease you... "maybe...you were thinking about raiden?"

you feel your face instantly heat up at the allegation. "w-what? why do you think that?" "i mean you were looking at him while zoned out, so i just assumed." you just look away as you cross your arms and sulk to yourself, not wanting to bother arguing with the man.
"alright fine, i'll leave you alone about it."

he—surprisingly—does just that as he turns his attention back to the others, talking once more about his movie and the various locations he found to film at...

while he's talking your eyes wonder over to raiden and find him already looking at you, but instantly he turns his gaze back to johnny upon being caught...you hoped he didn't hear anything johnny said only moments ago...

you turn your attention back to johnny at the mention of you all having parts in said movies, kung lao instantly jumping at the opportunity, "us? on screen?" "i mean they're cameos...but like they say, there are no small parts."

before kung lao can even get another word out, raiden speaks for him, "thank you johnny, but we must decline." "but raiden-" "the new initiates arrive tomorrow, we must return to the wu shi to begin their instructions."

kung lao sighs to himself, "they'll have you and y/n though-" "we all have something we can teach them, kung lao." you notice kung lao slightly slump down, accepting his defeat, "of course. you are right." you smile to yourself witnessing their bantering as johnny continues asking the others if they'd want to fulfill their parts—resulting in both lui kang and kenshi to decline the man...

lui kang abruptly stands and announces his leave, resulting in you all to bid him goodbye as you continue with your discussions until madame bo returns to you with your bill...

after more bantering, johnny ended up paying the bill and the rest of you spilt off from eachother. kenshi leaves to tend to his business regarding the downfall of the yakuza, johnny going off to finish with screen-writing for the movies, while you leave with kung lao and raiden to the wu shi academy.
———————
training the new initiates was tiring. you awoke early every morning and stayed up late as you worked hard to train your students well...

at least today was an off day, giving you a chance to actually focus on yourself and rest as much as you needed...that was until you heard a knock sound on your door.

you currently had your face in your pillow as you felt the need to scream. all you wanted was to relax and sleep in—you abruptly stand and march your way over to the door, ready to tell whoever was there to leave you alone, but that plan quickly fell apart upon opening the threshold...

you came face to face with raiden...a small, nervous smile on his face as he politely bows his head to you, "i hope i'm not disturbing you." you feel frozen for a moment, quickly blinking and coming back to reality as you fix your posture, "of course not- um did you need something?" you nervously chuckle... "well...i was just wondering if you wanted to go out later?"
