NINJAGO ONESHOTS

Bruiseshipping - Birthday Boy

JAY'S POV

I was panicking over my desk. I don't know what to get my best friend for his birthday. Spoiler: Cole's birthday is tomorrow. I'm such a horrible friend. I should've thought about it earlier. But no, the stupid Jay always thinks of something stupid. But I want the present to be something more than just a gift for a friend. I want to tell him that I love him. I've had a crush on him for ages. I didn't tell anyone. I can't even be-

"What are you doing, Jay?" Nya asked, walking into my room. I slammed my laptop shut and laughed nervously. "Nothing."

"Okay... weirdo." She shut the door behind her.

I sighed. "I'm looking for something to get Cole for his birthday. I don't know what to do! I want to tell him that I love him-" And there goes the secret. Why am I like this??

"Awh. You like him!" She whisper-shouted, excitedly.

"I can't bring myself to say it. Every time I try I get distracted by his big muscles and beautiful eyes... Then my chest tightens and I feel ill."

"Okay, you lovesick boy. Try making a present. Or a card. Write a little poem if that makes it easier. Something from the heart."

I thought for a moment. "Hm. I could try. Thanks Nya!"

"Always happy to help." I stopped her just before she left.

"Don't tell anyone, please..."

"You're secret is safe with me, don't worry."

COLE'S POV

I sat outside watching the gradient change from a bright blue, to a bright pink hue. The sun was setting. Kai came outside and sat next to me.

He put his hand on my shoulder. "Hey, Cole. Everything okay?"

"I guess..."

"You don't seem fine. You seem a bit distracted. Is it a love interest? Eh?" He joked, nudging me slightly.

I sighed. "Actually, yes." He coughed in shock.

"Didn't expect that. Well, what's she like?"

"Talkative, sweet, clumsy, loud, sometimes awkward but cracks the best jokes..."

He looked around. "What's her name?" He whispered.

"His name begins with J..."

"Ahhh. Wait. His? Congrats, Cole!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect to come out this way."

There was a small pause. "Wait. J... Hold up, you like Jay??" He whispered.

I nodded. "I want to tell him but I can't find the words. Every time I see him my heart just..."

"Goes 'budum budum' really quickly?"

"And my chest like..."

"Tightens and you can't breathe?"

"Exactly."

"You gotta just do it. Be yourself. Be confident. You can practice on me if you need to."

"I think I'll be fine," I chuckled. "Thanks though."

"Yeah, you're right. You just gotta be in the moment."

"Don't tell anyone, please. I want to come out in my own time. Also, don't tell anyone about Jay. I want to talk to him privately."

"I will respect your privacy, don't worry."

"Thanks..."

JAY'S POV

The next morning came and I had nothing. I mean, I got a birthday card in the shape of a cake. He loves cake. But everyone knows that. Was I not original enough? I mean, I added some orange coloured stickers inside. That's his favourite colour. Not black like everyone else assumes. I'm panicking slightly. Do I tell him now? Do I wait? Do I plan it? Go with the flow? WHAT DO I DO??

The day started off well. We sang happy birthday, ate some cake for breakfast and everything and then we gave the presents. We then took Cole to the arcade and played video games for most of the day. Me and Cole played a lot of those two player games. We had so much fun. That's when Nya ran up to us, all panicky. "Something happened to Lloyd," she said. We ran after her to the back of the arcade. All I felt was a push to my right shoulder. The next thing I know is that I'm locked in a really dark closet with someone else. I heard the rest laughing. "Hey, it's not funny!" I shouted.

"Let us out!" I knew that raspy voice. My heart started racing. We had barely any space between us. I didn't mind, though. Our shoulders were touching. I could feel his breath on my neck.

"So..." I said, chuckling nervously. "This is a great way to end your birthday, isn't it? Locked up in a closet..."

"You know, this reminds me of when we were fighting over Nya."

"Oh yeah! Embarrassing times... I wonder which wire she cut. I'm glad that we sorted it out, though. I'm with me, Nya's with her and you're with you."

"At least we didn't ruin our friendship." It felt hotter in here, his heat was radiating onto my skin.

"Gosh, why are you so hot?" Why did I say that? "I mean, radiation wise not attractive wise. You're not attractive. Who said you were attractive? I didn't say anything. I think you're the ugliest person on earth. Just kidding. I don't think that at all. You're the most attractive person in the world." I spilled the whole secret. To my crush's face. This is so embarrassing. Get me out of here.

"I like you..." I might as well go all the way. But silence filled the room. I guess I just got rejected. "I really-"

I was interrupted. Our lips collided. My eyes widened and my heart raced faster than ever. Is this a dream? It must be a dream. I'm dreaming. I don't want it to be a dream. He brushed his hands through my auburn curls. I closed my eyes and kissed him back, our lips moving in sync. My heart slowed down to its normal heart rate. My hands were on his warm cheeks. We were closer than ever. He gently bit my lower lip and I accidently let out quiet, soft moan. Our lips pulled away, taking a moment to breathe. I sighed.

"I love you, Cole..."

*"Awh, that's really sweet. But remember, I love you moree!" he chucked and ruffled my hair. I nudged him back, playfully. I leant on the door. They suddenly opened.

"WOAH!" Cole stopped me before my face hit the ground. He pulled me up to my feet. Everyone stared at us and giggled.

"You- you guys heard all that?" Cole stuttered.

"Every single word!" Lloyd said, proudly.

"It was obvious for ages that you liked each other. If we didn't do anything, who would've? You two stop breathing when you're near each other," Zane said. "I'm glad that we sorted you two out because before we'd know it, you two would be passing out in front of each other..."

*If you don't know this reference... idk if i had the vid id put it here but i dont :(

its basically an audio between Kirby Morrow and Michael Adamthwaite that they made and they said that basically.

Anyway I hope you enjoyed this one!
