Ninjago stories

Insecurities

Just so y'all know, when I was little, I felt like Jay.
Literally.
But, as I wrote last time, I did NOT stab myself.
Thank you very much.
Anyway, enjoy!
.... I think.

Also, in this story, the first part is a part I role played but didnt want to turn it into a story.

Here you go

" We may have won, but we lost Jay."

Mia, who was deep in thought, shook her head, and ran to Jay. ( Seabound).

" Jay, you're clearly having problems. But you need to turn back, you need to think, you need to hug Ny-" but when Jay just walked past her, she tried to grab his hand, but he pulled.

" No!" She exclaimed. " Don't leave me."

Jay turned. " I have to. What choice do I have? We're on opposite sides!"

" No, Jay. No we're not." Then, she sighed and looked at the sky, then to Jay. She unclipped her necklace and gave it to Jay, along with a paper. He looked at it, confused.

" Don't forget me. It'll make sense soon, I promise."

" But-"

" It'll make sense soon, I promise." Mia repeated. Then, she ran to the edge, faster than ever, and kept down while spinjitzuing.

Okay, now the real story.

Kai stood in the doorway, eyes wide as he took in the state of Jay's room. The walls were covered in scrawled words, harsh and self-deprecating messages that made Kai's heart sink. The sight of it all was overwhelming, and he couldn't hold back his shock.

"Jay, what in the name of Ninjago has happened to your room?!" Kai exclaimed, his voice filled with concern.

Jay, who was curled up on the bed, barely glanced up at Kai. His face was buried in his pillow, and his body was tense, as if he was trying to disappear into the sheets.

"It's nothing," Jay mumbled, his voice muffled and shaky. "You weren't supposed to see this."

Kai stepped closer, refusing to let Jay shut him out. "This isn't nothing, Jay. Look at these walls! This is serious-talk to me, please."

Jay shook his head, his body trembling slightly. "It's just... how I feel. It doesn't matter."

"It matters to me!" Kai said firmly, moving to sit on the edge of the bed. He reached out to touch Jay's shoulder, but Jay flinched, curling tighter into himself. The reaction only deepened Kai's worry.

"Jay, come on. We're your family-we care about you. We love you. You shouldn't be dealing with this alone," Kai pleaded, trying to get through to his brother.

Jay slowly turned his head to face Kai, his eyes red and puffy from crying. "Do you? Do you really? Because sometimes it feels like... like nobody does."

Kai's heart broke at the sight of Jay's tear-streaked face, and he quickly wrapped his arms around him, pulling him into a tight hug. "Of course we do, Jay. We love you so much. I love you so much. You're my brother, and nothing will ever change that."

Jay hesitated for a moment before finally clinging to Kai, burying his face in his shoulder. He started to cry again, the pain and self-doubt pouring out in heavy sobs.

Kai held him close, rubbing his back soothingly. "You're not alone in this, okay? We're here for you, and we'll help you get through it. Whatever it takes, we'll figure it out together."

Jay didn't respond with words, but his grip on Kai tightened, and Kai could feel the raw emotion in every tremble of his body. He knew they had a long road ahead, but at that moment, all that mattered was being there for Jay, reminding him that he was loved-truly and deeply loved.
