Just some random ideas that popped into my head. All clean but thre will be some trigger warnings. Other than that enjoy and this is fanfic. I also do requests. Some I don't know enough about to write but if I do I will gladly do so!
I watched Junjie do his Slug Fu routine again. This is the fifth time I've seen this same one over again. "Junjie do you ever shake things up? Just let loose?" I asked crossing my arms and leaning on a nearby tree.
"I have my path to follow and I do not need to'shake things up' This is a proven method." He replied not stopping his routine.
"Okay I get it. Tried and true method. But it's also very predictable, and it might actually help your opponent win." I broke to him. He looked at me with a spark of confusion in his warm brown eyes. "I do not understand." He spoke. I hatched an idea. "Give me the blasters and I'll teach you how to get lost." I said holding my hand out to him. "They are my ancestral weapon, I do not ned to use anything else." He smiled at me.
Geez he's stubborn. I guess I'm doing this the hard way. I took his blasters off his wrists and put them in my satchel. "Give them back." He told me. "I will. When you get lost." I negotiated.

"I am not going to get lost. I know these caverns well enough not to." He added. I laced my fingers behind my head. "I don't mean 'get lost' literally, I mean you gotta shake things up a bit. Do something...unexpected, creative." I explained. He didn't move an inch. I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose. "Look, you want your blasters back?" I asked. He hummed in agreement. "Then you gotta get lost! Get creative with your tactics." I repeated. He held his hand out for the blasters. "Looks like the eastern champion doesn't know how to think on his feet." I smirked. "I do not need to think on my feet. I plan ahead." He looked at me expecting me to hand over the blasters.
"You've been stuck on this path such a long time Just fading, wading through the fears This one old gets real old, my friend So come real close I'll let you know How you can get out of here" I sang with a smile. Junjie looked at me like I was crazy. "What are you up to?" He questioned. "You want to protect the eastern caverns?" I asked. He nodded. "Then you gotta be able to think on your feet and adapt on the fly." I explained to him. "And how would I do that?" He questioned once more. "I'll show you but you gotta trust me." I looked at him with a smile.
"Get lost, cut loose, and lose your way There ain't no fun in holdin' back, pal You gotta enjoy the thrill of livin' dangerously You've got a long, long way to go Keep playin' safe, you'll never know The rules are ours to break Come on, Junjie It's time to get lost"
I ran away from him and made a break for the trees, I climbed up and landed on a branch just as he caught it up to me. He followed me on the ground. "You can do that, or you can get inside my head and do something unexpected." I taunted playfully. "World's not always fair or black and white, it can be gray or even blur the lines between right and wrong. You can't always have a plan for everything, you have to be able to make decisions based on what the world throws at you." I explained once again.
"Take a look around Not right and left, but up and down 'Cause on the edge, it's all about Living bold and free Expand your mind to see And put your trust in me" I sang again. "Because you've got potential to travel the distance I've been existential and lost to existence And there is no map to your destination No explanation to solve this equation"
"We gotta get lost, cut loose, and lose our way There ain't no fun in holdin' back, babe You gotta enjoy the thrill of livin' dangerously You got a long, long way to go Keep playin' safe, you'll never know The rules are ours to break"
"Don't you know how good you have it? You're all that's stopping you For me, I'm stuck like static Can you imagine A life this deep in the gloom?" He replied, and I saw the pressure he was under, not just with his job but also the amount he's putting on himself. I simply smiled at him.
(Junjie POV) "You've got a chance, so take it I know you're scared, but life's unfair It's full of choices, big and small But trust the fall and you can have it all" she spoke putting a vine in my hand and closing my fist around it.
"Get lost, cut loose, and lose your way There ain't no fun in holdin' back, Junjie Enjoy the thrill of livin' dangerously You got a long, long way to go Keep playin' safe, you'll never know The rules are ours to break"
I finally caught up with Nina and I even placed a quick peck on her cheek. As I walked away I realized what I just did and turned bright red. "Why do you have to be so wonderful?" I questioned the mental image of Nina.
"Get lost Oh, get lost Whoa Get lost" I heard her humming.
