Jaya Oneshots and Stories

Table For Two

"Table for two, please," Jay told the waiter who greeted them at the door of Golden Chopsticks, a Chinese restaurant in the heart of Ninjago City. "Under the name Walker."

After the waiter checked their reservation information and nodded for them to follow him to their assigned seating, Jay and Nya walked after him in a respectable distance, his arm casually but possessively wrapped around her waist, keeping her frame close to his.

The two had decided that Golden Chopsticks would be a great restaurant to celebrate the last few hours of Nya's twenty-second birthday in, and so far, everything in that establishment screamed elegance and sophistication.

The walls looked incredible. The intricate mural of a scenic view of cherry blossoms gliding through the air was plastered across the left wall space, and on the right one were traditional paintings and words and phrases in the logographic writing system Han.

The waiter placed two menus on Jay and Nya's assigned table and left shortly after, only offering them a polite smile to indicate he would return later on to get their orders. The ninja made sure to thank him before he left.

Jay stood behind his girlfriend and grabbed her coat around her shoulders, letting her arms slide out of the sleeves. He went to hang it on the back of her chair before pulling the wooden piece out so that Nya could take a seat.

"Have I told you that you look absolutely beautiful tonight?" he asked her with a cheeky smile on his face as he walked around the other side and draped his own jacket over the back of his chair. Then he sat down and pulled his chair closer to the round mahogany table, his eyes solely set on the woman across from him.

Nya let out a pristine chuckle. "Only three hundred times."

She was wearing a gorgeous baby blue kimono, both her and Jay's favorite color. It was a deliberate pick. Her hair was down and her makeup was done moderately. She wore her half of the Yin-Yang pendant on a silver chain around her neck, fully on display for anyone to see.

Jay had his on as well, showing anyone who dared to glance in his direction that he was in it for the long haul with the love of his life.

The two would usually wear their pendants under the many layers of their ninja gi, but since they were not required to wear anything ninja-related during their well-earned date, their limits in clothing choices were endless.

"Then I shall make it three hundred and two by saying it again," He let his eyes roam across her upper body, unashamed of coming off as a hungry man, "because you look stunning. I truly am an unworthy partner, but can you blame me for sticking around?"

"Who are you asking that?"

"Myself."

Nya's laughter sounded like music to his ears, a fine tune only he could elicit correctly. He let his chuckles weave into her voice, both of them creating a harmonic melody together.

"Such a charmer," Nya said with a smile, her hand, delicate but supporting a few scars here and there, reaching for the menu book.

Jay copied her actions and opened his own menu book, his eyes immediately inspecting each and every meal the restaurant had to offer. His mouth salivated upon glancing at the pictures on every laminated page and his stomach churned in the best way possible.
