Love Bug (A Ninjago Story)

Remembering

"At least I think so," I added unsure.

Zane sighed. "You sure you do not remember anything?" Zane asks me to be sure. "I think I do, but it feels more like feelings," I said. Zane smiles. "That is a good place to start. Go talk to Cole and maybe you will get more memories start to surface," Zane said.

I nodded to his advice and stood up going to talk to Cole.

Cole's POV

My back is killing me! I groaned in frustration as I rubbed my shoulders trying to relieve the tension built up in them. I keep turning around wanting to ask Kai for a massage, but then I remember he could not care less about me and I just wallow in the pain.

I never realized how much I had relied on them after training until I no longer had him. I would give up all the cake in the world just to have a few seconds of his practiced hands on my back and shoulders.

I know though he could care less about me though Nya reminds me every chance she gets. Seriously what is up with her? Jay says she is jealous of the lack of attention she's been getting from Kai, but seriously she needs to know when to back down. I swear if I have to hear her say how she was right one more time I am either throwing her off the bounty or burying her in a volcano.

I smiled at the thought of that. I wish I could have Kai and prove to her she was wrong. My heart aches every time I see him or think of him. I grabbed the dragon plushie I had found in the bin and sighed sadly. He does not even care about those moments I was so sure of.....the moments I was sure he was not under anything that he loved me for real.

I go on my phone and skimmed through the pictures. I smiled wistfully at them as I see pictures of me and Kai just doing couple stuff and kissing each other and just having fun like a couple would.

I am starting to wonder if it would have been better if the bug had never bit him. Is this what a addict feels like during rehab? Craving whatever makes them happy? I crave a kiss from Kai so badly I feel as if I am going to go crazy. He promised he would always love me. Where did I mess up?

I put my phone down and sighed than have a weird feeling I am being watched. I looked up and around not seeing anyone around I could swear though I was being-agh!

I feel a immense pain in my back when I turn around to look. God my muscles feel like they are on fire I should have not gone so hard on the course to get my anger out. Maybe I should try using a heat bag?

The pain and a knock on my door distracted me from feeling watched. I groaned angerly already guessing who it was which I guessed was Nya. "Will you shut the hell up and start leaving me alone! I do not need you being a annoying idiotic stuck up attention seeking jerk so leave me alone!" I yelled at the person at the door turning to look at them at my last word with anger and fury. I am sore, I am tired, and I am done with Nya's jealous bullshit!

When I turned though I was horrified to see Kai there instead of his little sister. He was standing at the door eyes wide in shock as I felt horror claw at my heart. Kai's face turned into one of hurt and anger. "Kai wait I didn't mean to," I said as Kai's eyes welled with tears. "Oh I heard what you meant loud and clear. If I am such a jerk than you can forget about me even talking to you for a long time," Kai said leaving. I got up following him. "Wait Kai I didn't," He went into his room slamming the door shut. I wanted to open that door and tell him what I really meant, but to me it felt like my heart just could not take it and I sobbed loudly going back to my room. I want to think I heard Kai sobbing in his room, but that must just be nothing more than wishful thinking.

I was so upset I did not hear my window opening or comparand when I felt something go into my arm. I quickly pulled it out vaguely realizing it to be a sleeping dart through my blurry tears. I was asleep though before I could even see who shot it.

Back to Kai's POV

Cole must have just been using me the entire time I was under that stupid love bug bite spell! The second I had been outside his room I remembered going in there nearly every night and sleeping in the same bed as him. He must have just put it up so he did not look like a jerk to the others. How stupid was I to believe he actually had feelings for me? Just when I felt so sure I had feelings for him real ones and then he yelled that at me. Nya was right in her actions Cole only must have used me as a servant to give him pleasures. God did have sex with me? We slept in the same bed every night and I did basically do anything he wanted from me and I can only remember the moments I actually did feel love for him. I don't want to think he did that to me, but I am scared of the possibly he used me like that even though we have been brothers in arms for years.

I sat on my bed feeling terrible and sick to my stomach. I wanted to understand why I ever felt anything even a sliver of love for him if all he wanted to do was use me as a servant with benefits the second he got a chance. A voice in the back of my mind is saying he would never do that, but I can not be sure if that is true or not. I mean I found his shirt in my room.

I wish I wasn't so confused. I decided to sleep on it.

Kai's dream

I was in a bed I think with a body's arms wrapped around me. I feel lips on my forehead and I looked up seeing Cole there. He was smiling at me for some reason.

"Oh firebird you look so cute snuggled to my chest," Cole coos at me. I don't understand what's happening or where I am is this another memory?

"I like your chest it's strong and comfy," I said clearly still under the potions effects as I breathed in his scent of freshly planted dirt. Ugh! I was such a idiot I must have been acting like a love sick teenage girl from a 1980s movie. Cole giggles at my actions and pulls me in kissing my lips. I have no control over my limbs as my arms wrapped around his neck and his hands settled on my waist.

When we separated he grins at me. "I love you, I love you so much," Cole said to me smiling wide. I saw him look at my mid section still breathless from the kiss and feel him reach down. I mentally prepare myself for the information Cole had sex with me while I was not in the right state of mind. I feel him grab the hem of my pants, but instead of taking them off he pulls something out of my pj pocket and held it up.

"Why do you have a Pocket knife in your pocket?" He asks holding it up. I was surprised, but my past self pouted. "Nya keeps trying to kill you I need to protect you," I had apparently pouted. I suddenly had vague memories of Nya indeed trying to kill Cole. He just laughs at me and put the knife on the bedside table. "Don't need to worry I can protect myself and I will always protect you," He said cupping my face with a comforting smile in the moonlight. I hugged him close because......I believe that. I know he would never hurt or take advantage of me. This time I start the kiss and I know it was no bug bite that started it. "I will protect you too," I promise in a quiet murmur against his lips.

Wake up time

I was suddenly awoken to being violently shaken a million miles per hour as Jay yelled in my ears.

"Kai! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!"

I sat up right and accidentally kicked him hard in the  stomach, but hey I sleep with a knife in my pocket so he's lucky it was only my foot.

"Owwwww," he groans. "Sorry," I said though clearly did not mean it one single bit. "Whatever now get up and meet in the brig now!" Jay yelled at me as I rubbed my eyes trying getting the sleep out of them. "Why? What's the mission?" I asked. "It's a rescue mission," Jay said. "Of who?" I asked.

"Cole he just got kidnapped!"
