(Nya's POV)

I awoke to hear the birds chirping and to my eyes a lovely morning in Ninjago, only something or someone wasn't there to witness this beautiful morning. My boyfriend, Jay Walker.

He always sleeps in but never on a Saturday, he always leaves without anyone knowing apart from when I tell them and when he comes back he says he had a mission to do.

When he gets back I want to get to the bottom of why he always disappears on a Saturday.

I leave my shared room with Jay and enter the kitchen to see Zane and Pixal already up.

"Good morning, Nya." Zane said. "Jay's not here again?" He asked.

"No, I don't know why he can't just tell me what he does, we are a couple and we shouldn't keep things from each other." I sighed.

After our chat Kai come's bursting through the room. "You guys might wanna see this, I guess this is why Jay is always sneaking about." He gave me the phone as I saw the tweet say.

'OMG THE BLUE NINJA IS AT MY GUITAR LESSONS CLASS!!'

I stood there, bewildered. Jay plays the guitar? There was a video of him playing the guitar and I will admit he was pretty good at it. While watching the video, Kai started bursting out laughing while taking his phone back. "I gotta tell Lloyd and Cole, this is golden." I was really annoyed from what he said, I can see why Jay wanted to keep it secret as he probably thought what the other would of thought.

It's wasn't a few hours later Jay would return from his 'mission' and Kai, Lloyd and Cole were all waiting there, trying to contain their laughter. When the saw him, Kai said. "What's up Ed Sheeran, can I get an autograph?"

Jay looked puzzled, then it finally hit him like a brick wall, they know now. He looked so upset as the three boys were mocking him. He then stormed past them and inside the monastery. I looked at Kai and said. "What was that for guys?" The trio then looked at me and their faces turned from joyful to looking rather guilty. "Do you see why Jay wanted to keep it a secret, cause he knew that you guys would do something like this." I then left them there, speechless. In hope I can find Jay.

I looked everywhere for him but was unsuccessful, if he's left I swear Kai's gonna get it. I then hear weeping come from the one place I hadn't checked. Jay's old room.

I opened the door and see Jay, facing the opposite way. Strumming some of the strings of his guitar while quietly crying as well.

I then sit next to him and put my hand on his shoulder. "Just to let you know, I saw the video and you play beautiful Jay."

I then hear Jay say. "I never wanted you guys to know since I knew that some of you would joke about it and low and behold, that's what happened."

My heart sank. He upset because his friends are treating this thing that he loves doing like it's a joke. It's shouldn't happen to anyone, especially Jay.

"Well you shouldn't listen to what they say, you should only care about what you think."

He looked at me with a faint smile, he stilled looked rather upset. "Do you want to know why I play?"

I nod, curious of why he started playing in the first place.

"Well I was just 9 years old, and my grandmother passed away after a long term illness." He then stopped, chocking up while telling me what happened, he then continued. "I wanted to play a song for her at the funeral, I played 'Gone To Soon' by Micheal Jackson, after that I guess I just started to get into it and it became one of my favourite hobbies."

I look at him and ask. "Do you think you could maybe play me a song, well one that you know?"

Jay thought about it and then smiled and nodded.

Music Cue (look at the top for it.)

After Jay finished his song, I sat there in aw. "Jay, that was beautiful." I said to him while he placed his guitar in it's bag.

"That's one of my favourite songs, not just because it's naturally good but it reminds me of you so much." Jay says with a hint of red flashing his cheeks.

I smile at him as I pull him in a light kiss, as we pull away we hear knocking coming the opposite side of the door. "Who is it?" I say.

They don't say a single word but I can't instantly tell it's Kai, Cole and Lloyd.

"Come in." Jay says while also sounding rather nervous.

They open the door and the guilt has flushed all of their faces. "Listen Jay, we just wanted to apologise for what happened earlier, your a talented guy and we are sorry for joking about something that's so important to you."Cole says.

Jay looks at them and smiles. "It's fine. Besides, I've made fun of you guys a lot, I guess I get my fair share of it." He says while laughing nervously.

We then hear Zane and Pixal shout from across the hall. "Guys dinner is ready, it's pizza night so come quick before Cole takes all of it."

Everyone laughed while Cole looked ticked off, but at the same time the three dashed to the kitchen, I then say to Jay. "Think we better get going." I stand up but Jay remains seated. "Uh Jay, it's Pizza night? We have to get there before everyone else takes it." I say to them but then Jay says. "They will most likely leave us a slice, if not we order." I was confused. "What are you talking about?" I asked him.

"Do you wanna hear another song, I'd be happy to play you another." He asked my while giving me a massive grin.

I was reluctant at first, since we'd miss out on pizza, but Jay sharing something he loves doing with me is an opportunity I can't pass up. All I say to him is.

"I'd love too."

—————————

This maybe the most random Jaya Fanfic I have written but I love it non the less, it's so wholesome. Btw make sure to play the song when it's cue, the cover is literally fire.

This idea was based upon me and my friends. I really like to sing and I took music as one of my classes for 3 years but my friends would always joke about it and never take it seriously.

All I'm saying to that is don't listen to them, if you have a massive passion for something, persue it and never let anyone tell you otherwise because at the end of the day, it's your decision and not there's.

I hope you enjoyed and remember to stay safe 👋.
