Heaven Met Earth With A Kiss (Reuploaded From an Older Account)

Stolen Dreams

One incredibly awkward purchase later, Jay was relatively clean after taking a quick wash up in Masque's, thankfully onsite, bathroom. No thanks to Cole, who tried to break in after the blue boy locked the door. Even though he couldn't see the earth user, Jay could hear the pout in his voice when he said, "I just wanna help." Yeah right. Despite popular opinion, the lighting user did, in fact, have some common sense. He knew if he let Cole in, he wouldn't be getting clean at all. That man was insatiable, and he wasn't finished with Jay yet.

As much as he craved the heat, Jay figured the employees wouldn't appreciate them getting frisky on the sink. Their jobs were hard enough, customer service sucked. He was honestly baffled at how nothing got on his skirt or Cole's pants. He would've been mortified if the cashier put their hand in something less than savory while bagging their items. Just thinking about it painted a radiant flush across his freckled cheeks.

There was no way they weren't going to get the costumes, especially after what they did in them. Subjecting someone else to buying the ensembles was just plain wrong. Even if the other patrons weren't aware. Besides, after the animal themed regalia caused such an intense reaction, they couldn't very well leave without them. Jay doubted they'd find anything else that'd make Cole look more tantalizing. Maybe something just as good, but nothing better than the wolf costume currently folded up in one of the fluorescent red shopping bags.

Cole insisted on carrying the bags. They weren't heavy, it's just what a gentleman did. And Cole was nothing, if not a gentleman. And a horn dog. Jay just let him do as he pleased, it meant his hands were free to point out different shops. They passed a cute, high-quality plush shop, which Jay just had to go in. Grown man that he was, the blue boy just loved stuffed animals. Cole had ended up buying him an adorable bear to keep Mr. Cuddlywomp company.

It was a chubby thing, with glass green eyes and made of black velvet. It had a powder blue pinstripe top hat and matching vest with silver buttons. It was overstuffed with microbeads and foam that made it soft and squishy. The very moment he laid eyes on it, he wanted it. Thus Cole Bear was born. Because really, what else was Jay going to name him? He did look like Cole in teddy bear form. There was also the fact that the bear was a bit on the huge side. While holding it at eye level, the bear came down to Jay's waist. It was big and soft, just like the original.

Pressing the bear to his chest with the hand not occupied with Cole's, Jay indulged in the snuggliness of his new gift. It was nice to have his boyfriend buy things for him, especially things that catered to his quirks. Jay's insecurities overwhelmed him on occasion. Sometimes he believed he really was too much of a child to have such an important role. What ninja slept with stuffed animals? Jay was happy Cole didn't seem to mind, he just accepted it. It wasn't uncommon for Jay to embrace Mr. Cuddlywomp while Cole spooned him from behind. Now there was a new addition to their little snugglefest, courtesy of the earth wielder.

They walked around, both looking for a place to sit and eat. Apparently, heavy petting made them hungry. Cole spotted a quaint cafe nestled in between a yoga fitness gym and a bookstore. His grasp on Jay's hand tightened as he led the brunette over. Something about the sign spoke to the ebony haired boy. A multi-colored leaf sat above the awning with the word 'Hue' embedded in the colorful background in white. He wondered what it meant, as Cole felt himself get drawn into the pastel shades. The door chimed when they walked in and over to the register, signaling the cashier to come to the counter. A fresh faced teen looked up at them with wide eyes, no doubt starstruck that two of Ninjago's saviors were standing right in front of him.

"W-Welcome to H-Hue, what can I get you to d-drink?"

Jay almost cooed at him, that was way too precious. He knew that if he ever had the chance to meet Fritz Donnegan, he'd be the same way. Being a celebrity meant Jay ran into die hard fans from time to time. Some were quite literally insane, and tried stealing his underwear. Others were pretty chill and didn't even ask for autographs. The latter would just nod and tip their heads to Jay in recognition. They understood that even with all the fame, everyone needed to be treated like a human being once in a while.
