4. Truth or dare (part 3)

– – – – –

Pressure on Kai's cheek woke him up. Kai slowly parted his eyes and tried to lift his head up from the smooth rest. He squinted trying to make a picture of where he was, but his eyes were way too heavy to even recognise the surroundings. The lighting was dim, so Kai blinked his eyes to get used to it. He sharpened his instincts and heard the sounds of birds flapping their wings and whistling morning songs.

So, it was morning. Kai noted.

A sudden hit of a headache made him squeeze his eyes shut in pain. The fuck? Regardless of the aching compression in his temples Kai tried to heighten his torso from the material below him, but his hands felt numb and couldn't properly support his weight. His body collapsed back against the skin with a loud smack.

Hold on.

Skin?

Kai opened his eyes and the harsh truth hit him. He was holding up his head above the bare chest of his friend, best friend, brother... the Earth Ninja.

Now Kai's senses were fully awake. He scampered out against Cole's body, forcing his limbs to support his own body which was now glowering in pain. Kai didn't know if the discomfort was real or if he just imagined his thoughts physically. Either way, there was a bigger problem, mystery, beneath him. What the fuck was he doing in Cole's bed at this time in the morning?

Cole was still asleep, eyes closed and body motionless. Kai realised there was a hand on his waist, had been the whole time. Cole's hand was keeping Kai's body from leaving the bed and the warm body of his friend that Kai was hovering over. Shivers crawled under his skin as he gazed the warm skin beneath him. Kai could even see how Cole's chest went up and down in a steady, calm beat as his heart pumped blood. Cole was wearing his usual nightwear, black sweats with slender strings that he always tied into a bow... But now they were open.

As Kai eyed the waistband of Cole's pants, he noticed how sloppily, hastily they were put on. A rather terrifying thought flashed through Kai's mind, and it didn't help when he looked down at his body.

Shit.

Shit.

Shit.

Kai wasn't wearing anything. Nothing at all.

Under a rush of panic and utter confusion, Kai removed Cole's hand from his waist and carefully placed it beside Cole's body as he didn't want to wake him up. Kai's eyes scanned the bed in a flat spin trying to find his clothes.

Kai located his grey pants lying on the edge of the bed. He grabbed them with a swift move and jumped off of the bed to put them on. For the first time this morning Kai glanced at the other ninjas in the room. Jay's bed was across from Cole's and had a direct view there. But for Kai's fortune, Jay seemed to be still sleeping under the blue bedsheets, his back facing Kai.

The other ninjas were waking up, slowly shifting around their beds and blinking their eyes open. Kai couldn't stay there any longer as he didn't want to be seen around someone else's bed. What would the other ninjas think?

Albeit his other clothes were still somewhere in the bed – at least very likely even if he couldn't locate them – the confused ninja started to make his way out of the sleeping cabin aiming to sneak into the bathroom before anyone could see him.

But just one step and an unfamiliar sting in his backside stopped his movements. His eyes widened in shock, staring at the distant door.

What the fuck?

What had he been doing? He put his hand on his lower back to support his upper body from cracking up. Kai had to limp his way away from the others as the stabbing pain in his ass got worse.
