Teenage Crime Affairs (Ninjago Mafia AU)

Chapter 12: Drama

~Dareth's POV~

It's been an hour ever since we played that game, and everyone has just been quiet. Well except for Jay.

"Was it really that bad?" I ask patting Jay's shoulder. Nya, Jay, and I were sitting in the bedrooms, on the bed like before, supporting Jay as tears fell from his eyes. "That's not the point Dareth. The point is Kai wouldn't leave us alone until he did it.." Jay sniffed as Nya and I watched his face get even more red and wet from crying. "I feel terrible for Cole. He probably hates me, oh gosh what if we never talk again, all because Kai wouldn't shut up and leave him alone." Jay coughed out a sob as he cried harder. I couldn't bare seeing the poor fellow like this.

"Maybe you should talk to him?" I question. I'm not really good at this stuff, every time I think Ronin is pissed or upset with me I kinda just duck off somewhere other than where he is. I hear Nya sigh and I look over as she sits on the other side of Jay, wiping his cheek over again with the sleeve of her gi, "Cole doesn't hate you, you're his best friend he could never. He's probably upset with Kai or really shy the fact you actually kissed him." I hear Nya explain softly and I nodded my head in agreement. I'm really lost for words I guess, wish I could do something more.

"Y-you're not mad at me for doing it?" Jay croaked out, still crying and Nya hummed, "I really didn't like the fact you went along with it despite the fact we're together, but I understand where you're coming from." I raised a brow as Nya spoke and wrapped her arms around Jay's neck and snuggles into him. "I-I'm not leaving this room.." Jay sobbed as he hugged into Nya and I sighed. "I'll go get Cole for you, okay?" I asked as I got up and left the room to the kitchen. Cole, Zane and Pixal was there, lounging, sitting in the chairs. Zane and Pixal was having a conversation and Cole had his head down on the kitchen table, "Hey, Cole. Jay wants to talk to you." I spoke out. Zane turned his head towards me, "Is he doing okay?" He questions and all I could do was really shrug my shoulders.

"He's not coming out. He wants Cole though."

I waited a few moments before I saw Cole sit up and get out the chair, simply walking past me to the door I previously left, and I followed right after him.

As we walked in I hear Jay crying louder than before, but turned his head as our footsteps were heard. "C-cole?.." Jay said lowly as he started wiping his face and sniffling. I sat on the bed across from Nya and Jay, and Cole sat next to Jay, where I was previously. "Why are you crying, Jay?" I hear Cole speak up as Jay let's go of Nya and faced Cole. I think I should stay out of this conversation, I don't want to screw something up and make everything worse like I always do.

"I-I'm sorry.." I hear Jay croak out barely, "I-I've n-n-never kissed a b-boy b-before. I didn't want Kai to keep harassing you, but me just k-kissing you m-m-made it worse. I'm straight but Kai's gonna keep saying I'm gay or something a-and..." Jay trails off as he started sobbing hard again, having short breaths in between, making me frown and shake my head slowly. "Jay, you're gonna have a panic attack, calm down. Take a deep breath and breathe slowly." Cole said softly but with a frown, "You don't have to clarify anything. You're with Nya, Kai's a asshole, and I'm your best friend. You were just trying to clear the situation."

"Y-you're not m-m-mad at me?.." I hear Jay sniff, his face even more red before.

"Of course not."
"You..you don't hate me?.."
"Jay, hating you is kinda impossible at this point."

A small smile appeared on my face as one appeared on Cole's, making Jay started taking slow and deep breaths until he could breathe normally, and tears were no more. I then watch jay pounce on Cole, wrapping his arms around his neck, giving him a big tight hug. Jay whispered something in Cole's ear that I assume Nya couldn't hear, but I definitely didn't hear. Cole wrapped his arms around Jay and whispered something back, not knowing what they said but I smiled anyway, "You see? That wasn't so hard, right?" I chuckled as Jay sat back down off Cole.
