(So i was supposed to work on this earlier but was out for awhile and I don’t think I can upload a new part for my other story but I made time for this story as it is my main)(check out part 1-8 if you havent before reading this)
Garmadon went over to the library where his brother was. “Good you came, i wanted to ask a few more questions regarding you and Vinny”Wu said as he saw his brother walk in. When Garmadon heard this he blushed, “What do you mean..?”He asked trying to knock off the question. “You and Vinny have an interesting relationship and you act somewhat of how you acted around Misako”Wu replied smirking slightly. Garmadon stared at Wu, he hated these questions. The ice ninja and water ninja probably know the most. “I know what you’re suggesting brother and I assure you that there is nothing going on between the two of us”Garmadon replied acting oblivious to the question. We let out a sigh, “I am just saying if you feel like you can trust him and feel differently about him maybe try”Wu said, he really was oblivious the two were together the water ninja knew and she was correct about Wu catching on. “Is that all you called me here for” Garmadon asked. Wu shook his head and pulled out some scrolls. The two began talking.
With Vinny and Nya, after Garmadon left Vinny changed and went to find Nya. The two began talking and eventually Nya started asking questions. “Soooo…how long you two been together?”She asked this sudden question made Vinny blush, “L-like two days..”He replied embarrassingly. This answer surprised Nya, “Only 2 days?and you two are already all on each other”she laughed out. “How long have you liked him?”She asked, “W-well I think I started to notice it around 7months ago though I think a little before that”He replied, “How’d you confess?”Nya asked again. “Ehhh..he confessed though I’d rather not talk about that”Vinny replied which Nya nodded too not wanting to overwhelm him with uncomfortable questions. Nya wrapped an arm around Vinnys’ shoulder, “I’ll help you through this entire relationship”She said comfortingly. “I honestly never thought someone could be so accepting of someone being with Garmadon”Vinny chuckled out. Nya stared at him, “Well I think it’s nice you gave him another chance and I can tell he likes you a lot especially with how much he listened to you yesterday when he was training Lloyd”She replied happily. The two began talking for awhile as Garmadon was still busy with Wu and everyone else were doing something else.
A while later Garmadon found Vinny still hanging out with Nya. “Hey Garm!”Vinny said out happily making Garmadon blush. He didn’t respond but instead sat next to Vinny and pulled him onto his lap. At that point he didn’t care Nya already knew about this and she said she wasn’t going to tell anyone. “You two are honestly adorable”She said as she stared at Vinny who was blushing not expecting this to happen. “G-Garm is something wrong?”Vinny asked curiously. He didn’t respond but turned Vinnys’ head to face him before giving him a kiss making him blush even more. “G-Garm not with her watching..”Vinny mumbled out embarrassingly. “Aww no it’s fine this is adorable”She said before looking at her phone which just got a message. “The others are coming back you two might wanna stop being so touchy with each other especially if you wanna keep your cute relationship a secret”She added which made Vinny try moving out of Garmadons’ only to be kept down. “Garm…”Vinny said as Garmadon nuzzled his neck gently not enough to tickle him. Eventually soft purrs could be heard coming out of Garmadons’ mouth. “You never told me he could purr”Nya said she was honestly amazed at how calm Garmadon was, “I-I never knew he could…”Vinny said out embarrassingly his face was a bright red. Vinny eventually managed to squeeze out of Garmadons’ grasp earring complaints from Garmadon but stopped when the ninja finally came back.
“Wow sis never knew you would hang out with Vinny and Garmadon”Kai said out curiously “Who else was I meant to hang out with all of you were out”She replied "and honestly they’re both fun to hang out with especially once you get to know them” she added. “Whatever you say”Lloyd said out curiously before going to his room with Jay to read the new Starfarer comic. They all began talking about their days. And Cole brought up how close Vinny and Garmadon were which Nya said was just because Vinny gave Garmadon another chance after everything he’s done. Thankfully everyone believed it and the two felt relieved knowing someone could lie to the ninja for them

Willow finished eating a got up, “I’m gotta leave now” she sighed out, causing Vinny to look up at her sadly. “Don’t look at me like that I already feel bad” she chuckled.
“If I don’t get to see you again before I leave here I will die” The cameraman spoke, earning a louder laugh from the nature elemental.
“Don’t worry I’ll come” She answered, “Someone just needs to tell and if he doesn’t I will never forgive him” she continued as she stared at her brother, clearly talking to him.
“Very well…”Shancai sighed as he continued eating.
“If anything happens tell me” The cameraman spoke to her.
“Obviously” Willow laughed out, “And you need to tell me stuff too…I need relationship updates” she added, receiving a soft nod and chuckle from Vinny. “I’ll see you all in a few days” she spoke as he began walking off.
“Bye” The cameraman spoke as he waved, while Shancai just waved. They watched Willow slowly disappear and then just ate in silence. Shancai finished eating first though and got up, approaching the training equipment, “Whatcha doing?” Vinny asked curiously.
“Just fixing this” The prince answered as he tightened something on the spinner equipment. the cameraman nodded as he finished the rest of his food and drank some water. Shancai signalled for him to get up which he did. “You’ve seen this right?”
“Yep, they have a lot of this stuff in the monastery” Vinny answered as he watched the prince do some stuff that the cameraman had no idea about.
“You know about about fighting?” The prince questioned.
“I can punch and kick things that’s it…I punched Enji once” The cameraman answered, he smiled at the memory of punching Enji.
“Let’s start with this” Shancai spoke as he went to the spinner equipment, it’s that one thing Nya broke in Seabound when Kai was worried about her. The cameraman paid close attention as the prince, spun the equipment. “When it spins around you’re gonna hit here and here” he pointed to two of the wooden logs pointing out.
Vinny nodded in response, “You’re gonna block with your arm for this one, only way you can hit it is if you’re fast enough” the prince added, as he pointed to another small log. Shancai did a demonstration as it spun around, he punched the logs and blocked one.
As the cameraman watched, something shiny caught his attention from the corner of his eyes. As he looked at a box filled with weapons…but there was something a mix of gold and silver. Vinny walked over to the box and looked in it. He pulled two matching things.
“What you looking at?” Shancai asked as he walked over crouching next to Vinny. The cameraman held it up, “Arm bracers, I don’r use those” the prince answered, the arm bracers were pretty nice, a nice leather with a mix of gold and silver as well as a red gem that definitely wasn’t ruby.
“It’s nice” The cameraman spoke, as his eyes practically lit up and he admired it.
“You want them?” The prince asked cashing Vinny to look at him surprisingly.
“I-I couldn’t…” the cameraman spoke, he felt a little guilty at taking so much.
“I don’t use them and neither does anyone else” Shancai spoke as he took the arm bracers and Vinnys’ arms as he began putting them on. “And you clearly hurt your arms a lot” he added, causing the cameraman to blush embarrassingly.
“N-not my fault” Vinny defended himself, as he allowed the prince to put the arm bracers on. “They’re really nice…” he spoke up.
“They are…I’ve never been able to wear them without discomfort” The prince answered, receiving an understanding nod from the cameraman. “You’re welcome in our kingdom you know that?” Shancai asked curiously as he continued putting the arm bracers on Vinnys’ arms.
“Y-yea?” The cameraman answered confusingly.
“You have guilt when you’re given stuff…” The prince spoke, “My mother and sister trust you…I trust you, and you’re not seen as a guest to us, you’re seen as family” The prince added, Vinny smiled softly hearing that, he saw them as family just as much.
“Thank you…” The cameraman sighed, “You’re all just constantly giving and I have nothing to give back…” he confessed.
“You’ve helped us…knowing what Rida and Enji are doing where we can’t see them is more than enough…especially after what you’ve been put though…” the prince answered, as he soothed Vinnys’ concerns. Shancai tightened the arm bracers, “Done…”
The cameraman stared at his arms, he really liked how they looked and they felt really nice, “I like it” Vinny spoke happily as he smiled at the prince.
“Good, now they’re yours” Shancai answered, as he watched the cameraman turned his arms and admire the arm bracers.
“Thanks” Vinny spoke happily, if he had a tail it would be wagging.
“You like the cloak?” The prince asked, as he brought up the topic of the makeshift cloak.
“Yep! It’s really comfy and the pin keeps it together” The cameraman answered, as he stood up with Shancai.
“That’s good…” the prince sighed, “How’s your wound?” He questioned once more.
“It hurts a little, but it’s just like stinging pain nothing much” Vinny answered, “How’s your stomach?”
“Fine” Shancai quickly answered.
“Don’t bullshit me” The cameraman spoke.
“It’s a little swollen…” The prince confessed.
“Show me” Vinny spoke, causing Shancai to sigh as he lifted up his shirt and undid the bandages. The cameramans’ eyes widened as he saw the bruise, it was a large bluish, purplish bruise than covered most of his stomach. “Fucking hell…that looks painful…”
“It’s fine, I’ve had worse before” The prince answered.
“Yea well that doesn’t change the fact that it definitively hurts” Vinny sighed as he rubbed his temples.
“Are we training or not?” Shancai spoke, as he lowered his shirt, he clearly didn’t like talking about his well-being.
“Alright alright” The cameraman sighed, as they went back to where they were training before, Vinny trying his best to lessen his concern for Shancai. The two kept secrets from others, more specifically when they got hurt. The cameraman didn’t tell Garmadon while Shancai didn’t tell his family.
They were an interesting dynamic, but got along. As Shancai continued to demonstrate the actions to the cameraman, he eventually gave Vinny a turn.
(I suggest you check out parts 1-86 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)
“We can continue in an hour” Shancai spoke up as they began walking down the halls, “You’re not in the best mood at the moment” he added in an understanding voice.
“T-Thank you…” The cameraman answered quietly as he leaned closer to the prince, who was Jay gonna tell? Nya? Wu?
“Enji wanted to be found, he clearly knew Jay was there…if he didn’t want to be found he would’ve told you sooner” Shancai spoke comfortingly as he watched Vinny stare at the ground.
“I’m scared…” The cameraman managed to squeak out as tears began rolling down his cheeks. The princes’ expression softened as they stopped walking and he stood in front of Vinny, placing his hands on his shoulder comfortingly.
“I know…” Shancai began as he tried making the cameraman look up at him, “You have every right to be scared, you don’t need to pretend with me…” he added.
“Why do you do it…?” Vinny whispered as he looked up at Shancai, his eyes glistening with tears. The prince let out a shaky breath hearing this, he hadn’t expected a question like this. There was silence for a few minutes and it was deafening as tension filled the air.
“I…” Shancai spoke as he lowered his gaze, the cameraman clearly didn’t mean to ask that question, but he did and wanted an answer. “I haven’t opened up to someone in years…last time I did was Enji…” he confessed quietly, as guilt and shame tainted with his voice and expression.
“You said you were friends before…how close were you two actually…?” Vinny hesitantly pressed on as he listened intently, while rubbing tears from his eyes.
“Close…I was closer with him than anyone, I trusted him and I lo-“ the prince cut himself out, as his voice quietened.
“Can we go to that room I told you about?” Vinny spoke up, receiving a nod from Shancai, as the cameraman began leading the way. It was a fairly long walk, Vinny hadn’t realised how much he ran after Jay till now. As they reached the room he could practically feel the princes’ guilt grow.
They both entered the room, still as dusty as before. “Why would he come in here…?” Vinny asked curiously as he looked around.
“I am…unsure…” Shancai answered, though it was a lie, but the cameraman didn’t push on as they both searched the room. Vinny noticed a picture on the ground, must’ve fell from the photo book, he grabbed it and shoved it into his pocket, he didn’t know how the prince would react.
“Can we leave…?” Shancai asked shakily , discomfort evident. The cameraman nodded as they both left, closing the door behind them.
“Sorry…for changing this up so quickly…” Vinny apologised, he felt bad, Shancai tried comforting him before, but he just flipped the whole conversation into an interrogation session.
“Hey you two!” A familiar voice called out, Kai? They both turned around, instantly changing their attitudes.
“Hey Kai!” Vinny answered as a smile, plastered its way onto his face, the fire ninja came over.
“What you two up to?” Kai questioned.
“Wandering” Shancai bluntly answered.
“Yea pretty much it, he’s also helping me fight a little” The cameraman added.
“Cool!” Kai answered, “You think one day I can spar you?” He questioned curiously.
“Unless I have a death wish, no” Vinny chuckled, causing the fire ninja to fake pout. “Anyways what are you up to?” He asked.
“On my way to the dinner hall, everyone else is going since it’s like lunch or something” Kai answered, the cameraman looked up at Shancai, they were both silently communicating. The idea of everyone being there made Vinny uneasy.
“Have you seen Jay?” Shancai spoke up.
“Uhh yea…I saw him running, though he didn’t even talk to me” Kai answered, with confusion.
“Right…” The cameraman sighed out.
“You two should come eat” The fire ninja added, Shancai was about to say something, most likely a protect, but was cut off.
“Sure” Vinny answered, causing the prince to look at him curiously.
“I’ll see you two there” Kai answered with a smile as he ran off.
“Are you sure?” Shancai asked the cameraman when Kai was out of hearing range.
“No…” Vinny whined, “Better now then later…Enji wants something from me and I won’t let the others get hurt, because I’m keeping secrets…” he added, guilt continuously gnawing at him.
“Very well…but what he told everyone?” Shancai asked.
“So be it…” the cameraman answered, “They’ll know the truth, they’ll know why I’m fucking crazy” he added as he clenched his fists and stared at the ground.
“What if they don’t ask?” Shancai questioned.
“I’ll try to push off the questions, avoid them, but if it’s more persistent then I’ll tell…” the cameraman replied, as they both began walking down the halls.
“I miss my sister…she’s better at this…” the prince sighed.
“I don’t mind…you’re good at this too, if I want more emotional talks she would be better, but right now I need someone to keep me calm…either way I enjoy talking to you about this stuff…” the cameraman answered with a smile, Shancai looked surprised for a moment.
“Thank you…” The prince spoke up as a small smile appeared on his face.
“Alright then, if Jay hasn’t told everyone and he tries asking me questions I’ll tell him later, explain everything and try making him keep it a secret” Vinny spoke as he tried reassuring himself.
“That sounds like it could work” Shancai answered, receiving a soft nod from the cameraman, “Best we be off then?” He asked, receiving another nod as they continued walking.
The two eventually made it to the dinner hall and entered, thankfully the room didn’t go silent when they saw Vinny, only Jay and Wu were quiet, and they were sitting next to each other. It would make sense for the lightning ninja to tell Wu about this. The cameraman could only hope that Garmadon doesn’t know.
“Hey you two!” Cole spoke with a smile as he signalled for them to sit down next to him. Vinny smiled in response and sat next to him, Kai was on the other side of Cole. Shancai obviously sat next to Vinny, who was trying to ignore Garmadons’ eyes that were fixated on him, with worry and curiosity.
“Where have you two been? I haven’t see you around the palace?” Nya asked as she ate.
“I’m teaching him how to fight” the prince answered, causing the group to look surprised.
“Really?” Lloyd asked curiously, receiving a confirming nod from Vinny.
“Yep, just was a bit curious, and it won’t do anyone harm if I learnt how to defend myself properly, especially in our city” the cameraman chuckled out, it wasn’t a lie, Ninjago was very dangerous and it seemed like there was a new villain every month.
“That’s cool” Cole laughed, “Hey Shancai, I’ve been wondering something” he added as he turned his attention to the prince.
“Go ahead” Shancai responded with a nod, while Vinny tried to ignore the fact that Jay was staring at him, while talking quietly to Wu.
“Would there be anyway to come back to the kingdom after we’re sent back to Ninjago?” The earth ninja asked, “It’s just this place is amazing”
“I suppose there could be a way, though it might take some time to actually make it properly” The prince answered.
“Like what?” Kai asked.
“You may have heard of it, travellers tea” Shancai spoke, receiving an understanding nod from the others. “I can ask my mother if you wish and I doubt this would be the last time we see each other” he added.
“That would be great” Wu spoke up, “Does the kingdom count as a realm?” He asked curiously.
“Not necessarily, it’s just isolated and I assume your city isn’t close” The prince answered, receiving another nod.
“Does the mirror Enji has work?” Vinny muttered, he knew it probably did, but he just wanted to confirm his suspicions, Shancai silently nodded to the cameraman.
“Hey Vinny…?” Jay spoke up, his voice full of reluctance. The cameramans’ heart dropped, try to play it off was the only thing he could do.
“Yea?” Vinny answered shakily, while the others listened intently and Shancai stared at the cameraman with worry.
“Who’s-“ Jay was cut off, by Vinny kicking his leg under the table, desperately trying to signal for him to stop. The lightning ninja looked at the cameraman looked like he was on the verge of a panic attack. “Who’s taking your place at work? You’ve been gone for awhile” he thankfully changed the topic, catching the hint.
“Not sure…” Vinny answered, as he let out a soft sigh of relief.
“Won’t you get fired?” Lloyd asked.
“Maybe, maybe not…” the cameraman spoke, “I’ve worked there for years mainly for Gayle, she’s really pushy and others don’t really stay with her, i’ve done a lot of things that would normally get me fired but didn’t” he added.
“That’s funny” Kai chuckled, “Why don’t you quit?”
“Finding a job when living in a city that gets destroyed every other month is hard” Vinny answered, receiving an understanding nod from the others.
The rest of the time was spent with making jokes and eating, nothing too serious. Eventually Shancai and Vinny left and hanged out in the halls, it wasn’t late but not early either. Afternoon.
“That went better than expected” the prince spoke to the cameraman.
“Yea…I kicked Jays’ leg under the table” Vinny answered, “And thankfully he understood what I meant and changed the topic”
“Your work life sounds interesting” Shancai confessed.
“It is…” the cameraman chuckled in response as they began strolling down the halls.
“Vinny!” A familiar voice called out, right…Jay really wanted to have that talk…the cameraman and the prince stopped turning around. Jay and Wu were coming over, so the lightning ninja definitely told Wu.
“Hey…” Vinny spoke awkwardly as he balanced on the balls of his feet, and rubbed the back on his neck, avoiding eye contact.
“An explanation would do well” Wu sighed out as he watched the cameraman slowly be eaten up by anxiousness.
“Right…” Vinny sighed out.
“I suggest somewhere more private” Shancai spoke up, receiving a nod from the others as they began walking, following the prince.
(I suggest you check out parts 1-27 if you haven't already no promises for as frequent updates I had an 8 page essay I did yesterday about fucking climate change and I finished it and I separated this part into 3 other parts as it was WAY too long)
Vinny stayed sitting up in bed trying to figure out who or what those people were. "How would they get in here...why are they after me?....Why'd I stab them...they just pulled it out...why did they want me to stab them...?" the cameraman thought and began coming up with ideas but none too crazy.
Eventually around 30minutes went by, "Vinny? How long Have you been awake?" Garmadon asked as he stretched and looked at Vinny. "O-oh umm...half and hour" the cameraman said as he looked at his phone. "You have? Did you need something?" The oni asked curiously as he sat up and pulled Vinny into a hug nuzzling into the crook of his neck. "And your voice sounds a little strained as if you were yelling" the oni added. The cameraman tensed, he completely forgot about how he was yelling at the reflection.
"Hmm? No....just couldn't sleep and my voice probably took a while to set in" Vinny responded as he hugged his lover back stroking his hand through his hair. "You were tired before, something bothering you?" Garmadon asked, Vinny shook his head as he tried to make it look believable there was no way he wad going to tell him what happened with that weird figure outside in the hallway and the weird reflection. "Promise..?" Garmadon asked, wanting to believe what Vinny said.
"Promise" Vinny responded in his normal sweet tone, "I'm not that tired anymore......I need to talk to your brother..." The cameraman added bluntly, earning a confused look from Garmadon, "Why?" the oni asked curiously as he looked at Vinny. "I...just do" he responded quickly, he wasn't going to abbreviate on this at all. "Are you sure you can even walk, or move properly?" Garmadon asked earning a nod from Vinny.
"I suppose you can go see him now....but I'm going to wait for you" Garmadon said out in defeat, he really didn't want to upset Vinny. "Alright then" the cameraman said as he stood up wobbling slightly. The oni stood up too and helped his lover balance. Vinny smiled at him before beginning to walk and Garmadon following behind as he gave Christofern a spray of water.
Nya was with Jay and Lloyd and saw the two together going somewhere. "Give me a minute Jay" She said to the lightning ninja before going over to Garmadon with the green ninja. "Now shouldn't he be in bed resting?" Nya asked curiously, the oni nodded, "Yes....but he wished to see my brother and talk to him about something" Garmadon responded as he looked at Vinny who continued walking unaware of his surroundings. "He did?" Lloyd asked as he stared at his father. "It seemed quite urgent" The oni added.
"Okay?" Nya said confusingly before going back over to with Lloyd Jay as Garmadon caught up with Vinny. "Vinny...are you alright? You seem a little more tense?" The oni asked worriedly as he followed Vinny, "I'm fine..." The cameraman responded as he itched his hand nervously, "Is something wrong with your hand?" Garmadon asked as he noticed the itching immediately, Vinny looked at his hand and an idea popped in his head, "Oh yea, it's just really itchy and I kinda want to see if he has anything for it" Vinny lied wanting the oni to stop asking questions.
The lie worked and Garmadon nodded before grabbing Vinnys' hand and kissing it softly. The cameraman lit up with blush as looked away embarrassingly before continuing to walk which made Garmadon chuckle. Eventually the two made it to where Wu was which was the library he was organising scrolls. "Garmadon...sweetheart can you wait here please?" Vinny asked, the oni was a bit sceptical but respected Vinnys' wishes and nodded receiving a kiss on the forehead from the cameraman.
Vinny knocked on the door, "Come in" Wu said from inside, Vinny looked back at Garmadon and smiled softly before going in. Wu looked happy and surprised to see his brothers' lover here. "Ah Vinny, what brings you here?" Wu asked as the cameraman went closer, "I-I umm I need to tell you something..." Vinny said, Wu could tell something was up, the cameraman wasn't in a bright or happy mood, Wu signalled for Vinny to sit down on the floor as he wasn't sure what could be wrong.
(I uploaded the other two parts of this as well so I don't keep you waiting)

As Vinny continued to throw up, hunched over the toilet bowl, his body ached. He couldn’t get rid of the snakes’ touch on his body, it just lingered there and he hated it. His mind spun as he gagged once more, he knew he’d vomited everything up, but he couldn’t stop himself. The taste. The touch. He couldn’t get rid of it…
Vinny sat on the ground for a few more minutes, making sure he didn’t have to vomit once more, but after he was sure he stood up, his legs trembled beneath him as he leaned against the wall for support. The cameraman weakly walked over to the sink before grabbing a toothbrush, he hoped this would get rid of the coppery taste.
As he brushed his teeth, having the taste of minty toothpaste was somewhat relieving as it overpowered the coppery taste in his mouth for a short time. Vinny let out a shaky whimper as he finished brushing his teeth, the taste was still there, but mixed with the mint it was more bearable. His body however felt disgusting, he wanted to scrub off that snakes’ touch, so that’s what he was gonna do.
The cameraman turned on the shower, before stripping his clothes and getting in there. His life was miserable, he was miserable and someone enjoyed him being miserable. He let out a content sigh as the warm water flowed down his aching body.
It was perfect…it was so comforting…Vinny began to scrub his scalp with shampoo, the vanilla scent comforting him, as he tried his best to ignore Rushifas’ touch lingering on him.
As he finished washing the shampoo out of his hair, he quickly put conditioner in, it really softened his hair. Once he finished with that he began scrubbing the parts of his body that the snakes’ touch lingered.
Vinny started with his thigh, harshly scrubbing it till it was red, as much as he wished he could scrub his cheek red, someone would easily notice it and pressure him with questions, so he stuck to less exposed parts to scrub red. He grimaced as the sight of his raw skin, his thoughts flickering to the flesh he was fed, he held back a gag and hunched over instead.
He sighed to himself as he continued to think of his friends…he hoped they weren’t upset at him for snapping. Vinny quickly finished up the shower, wrapping a towel around his waist before going out of the bathroom into the bedroom. The cameraman grabbed a his pajamas he wasn’t gonna do anything else today, he wanted to cry and sleep.
As he finished getting dressed he went back into the bathroom and grabbed the dagger out of his old clothes pocket, before dropping onto the bed. “What does everyone want from me?” He groaned to himself as he thought about Enji, Rida and that snake. He didn’t want to call say her name, he hated her more than Enji at the moment and kinda missed Enji.
It was twisted, Vinny knew that, but Enji wouldn’t force him to eat that, that snake seemed used to eating human flesh, Enji was still a human however a very fucking annoying human, but Vinny knew Enji wouldn’t make him do that. His mind flicked to Rida…he knew the least about him, he was dark and mysterious.
Rids and that snake weren’t friends, but they asked for favours and that snake said that Rida told her not to hurt Vinny. Did Rida know he was here? Did Enji? Everything was confusing and it caused Vinny to let out an annoyed groan as he stuffed his face in the pillow and kicked his legs.
What was he meant to do? He couldn’t protect himself. Couldn’t tell the majority of his friends what was happening. And was being haunted by two people and one snake he didn’t even know existed until recently. “Is all this worth it? Maybe I’m the problem…” Vinny spoke to himself out loud as he rolled onto his back and stare at the ceiling.
“What if it all gets worse? What if-“ Vinny was cut off by soft knocking at the door, was it Willow? Maybe Shancai? Nya? He didn’t want to answer, he wanted to be left alone. The cameraman just sat there, hoping the person there would leave, but the knocking persisted, causing Vinny to let out a defeated sigh before getting up and grudgingly walking to the door and opening it.
“Please, I really wan-“ The cameraman cut himself off as he saw the person there, Deity. She seemed worried, Vinny instantly shut up, he didn’t want to worry her.
Vinny quickly noticed her outfit change, a whitish blue floor long see through mesh shawl that trailed behind her, the ends like clouds? Not fur, quite literally clouds. She was also wearing a dark blue and silver dress, he also noticed she was wearing small rhinestone head chain.
It didn’t look bad at all, and it didn’t seem too uncomfortable, it seemed soft and warm. The dress also seemed like a substitute night gown, something formal yet informal at the same time.
“S-sorry for bothering you dear” Deity spoke up, her voice hinted with guilt and worry, “Willow told me you might want some alone time, but I heard what happened and had to at least check on you” she added, as she looked away anxiously, Vinnys’ expression softened as guilt creeped up his back.
“N-no it’s fine! I’m fine! Honestly…I’m just a bit snappy” The cameraman answered quickly, as he tried to reassure her.
“I was just so caught off guard when I was told what happened…Are you sure you’re alright dear?” Deity questioned once more.
“Y-yea…I wasn’t gonna go in the forest, but I assume Willow told you why I went?” Vinny asked, receiving a soft nod from her.
“Did anything happen?” Deity asked him, before letting irl a soft sigh as she noticed Vinnys’ expression saddened as he looked at the ground, “You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to dear”
“I…sorry, I’m just…shaken from what happened” Vinny replied quietly, “B-but I really should talk about it to someone at least before it eats me up…” he added as he looked up at her, giving her a soft smile.
“Would you like to come with me dear? We can talk like last time” Deity offered, Vinny nodded. He did need to talk to someone about what happened. How would Deity react? Deity began walking expecting Vinny to follow which he did as he closed the bedroom door behind him.
The walk there was silent before Deity pushed open the door allowing Vinny in, before closing the door. They sat down on the ground like last time, it was still as comfortable, felt like a cloud. The cameraman sat next to her, it was easier to say stuff when he wasn’t directly in front of someone. “T-thank for this” Vinny spoke.
“No problem dear, you have a lot on your mind” Deity spoke before she took off her head chain and rested it on a circle like thing, “You can tell me whatever you’re comfortable with” she added as she looked at Vinny, her expression holding comfort and love.
“R-right…” the cameraman sighed before taking a deep breath, “When I went in that part of the forest I just heard some hissing…I thought it might be a Serpentine, but which one? I didn’t expect her to come out…” Vinny began explaining as Deity listened intently.
“She-she just appeared out of no where and wrapped me in her tail!” He added as the memory of the snake sprung back into his mind. Vinnys’ breath hitched as he continued to think about what happened.
“Take your time dear…I have no issue waiting” Deity spoke affectionately as she rested her hand on Vinnys’.
“She called me Ridas’ new plaything” Vinny sighed out, Deitys’ eyes widened, but Vinny didn’t notice, “Her and Rids are just on occasional favours basis, right?” He asked.
“Yea…” Deity replied, “They have a hate for the kingdom, which is why they both work somewhat together” she added as she let out a sigh.
“She wanted to know why Rida had his eyes set on me…I told her I didn’t know!” Vinny continued as he hugged his body, the snakes’ touch lingered the more he thought of it, “S-she came behind me and put her head on my shoulder then wrapped her hand around my neck…” Vinny confessed shakily as he voice quietened.
“O-oh dear…” Deity whispered in shock as she looked at Vinny worriedly.
“S-she put her h-hand on my thigh…” he whimpered out, “She asked m-me what Garmadon would think about him seeing me like this, did I mention that Garmadon wanted a break from our relationship?” Vinny asked as began to grow hysterical, Deity shook her head before pulling Vinny into a hug pressing the side of his head against her chest.
“You don’t have to keep going if you don’t want to dear…” Deity spoke softly as she kept Vinnys’ head there in order to comfort him.
“N-no it’s fine…I need to tell this to someone…” The cameraman shakily spoke, as he tried to hold back the tears that welled in his eyes.
“Very well…” Deity sighed.
“S-she grabbed m-meat off a human corpse and told me to e-eat it…” Vinny confessed as his voice broke, as he held onto Deity tightly.
“You didn’t-“ Deity began before cutting herself off as she saw Vinnys’ face, tears beginning to stream down his face. “Oh you poor angel…” she whispered softly as she stroked her hand through his hair.
“I-i hated it…I hate her…it was d-disgusting and I can’t g-get rid of the taste, i-it just lingers” he began to cry softly as he allowed himself to be comforted by Deity.
“As you should hate her…” Deity spoke softly as she took off her long shawl and wrapped it around Vinnys’ body.
“W-when I ate it…she just dropped m-me to the ground and when Willow and t-the others came she k-kissed my cheek and just left to c-catch them off guard…” Vinny confessed once more as he trembled in her arms.
“And you haven’t told them…?” Deity questioned hesitantly.
“H-how can I? T-they’d probably think I’m fucking p-pathetic that I can’t protect myself” he cried in response.
“Your friends love you Vinny…they’d understand…but I also understand why you don’t tell them and I would so the same…” she whispered comfortingly as she continued to baby him.
“I’m so fucking done with this…” he sobbed weakly, “I want it all to stop, I wanna fucking die…” he whimpered our weakly.
“I know dear, I know…and I don’t blame you, but think about who you’ll leave behind” Deity says to him in an attempt to affirm him, as he just laid there in her arms.
“I-I can’t do this anymore…” he whimpered quietly, Deity drew comforting circles on his back and continued to stroke his hair.
“I know…just let it out…” She spoke softly, Vinny continued to cry. He couldn’t control himself, Deity was so motherly and comforting. Before Vinny knew it he was knocked out, fast asleep, due to how exhausted he was. Deity let out a soft sigh and leaned back onto a pillar behind her, allowing Vinny to rest.
“Poor angel…” she whispered to herself as she looked at Vinny, his eyes were puffy, he’s had a hard day.
(I WROTE A LOT!!! and we obviously have our Mother Deity)
(I suggest you check out parts 1-48 if you haven't already)
Vinny was in his room for the rest of the day talking to Rida, no one really bothered him sure there would be the occasional knock and offer of food, other than that no one came. It was now night and Vinny let out a tired yawn, truth was he really needed a goodnights sleep, Rida let out a chuckle, "Looks like you should get some rest" The orange eyed man spoke out.
"Y-yea, I guess I should...Enji's been messing with me, I haven't gotten a good sleep for a few days..." The cameraman replied as he stretched out, "Then I'll leave you to it...and no need to worry Enji won't be coming today" Rida spoke calmly as he stood up and helped Vinny off the ground. The cameraman smiled clearly liking the fact he won't have to deal with Enji and could get some sleep.
"I'll be seeing you tomorrow, right?" The orange eyed man asked as he looking at Vinny intently, "Yea...9:30 here..." The cameraman replied as he took off his jacket and ran his hand through his hair clearly sleep deprived. "Very well sleep well..." Rida spoke before disappearing, Vinny was a little surprised at the way Rida just disappeared but he shrugged it off he was too tired to think.
"Fuck...a shower would be nice..." The cameraman mumbled to himself as he got sat on the bed. Vinny sat there for 10 minutes thinking about literally nothing. Eventually the cameraman snapped out of it and stood up he got some clean clothes ready and walked into the bathroom closing the door behind him. Vinny then stripped of his clothing and turned on the shower. Before he entered he took off the bandages on his hand and foot and remembered to take the dagger out of the pocket of his pants.
The cameraman then entered the shower and let out a sigh of relief, the water was warm and comforting Vinny wanted to sleep in there but he knew he couldn't. The cameraman reached to get something, but noticed his hand, a stab wound and burn marks. "I'm surprised I haven't lost this hand yet..." Vinny mumbled as he winced slightly in pain at the water touching his hand. "I should get this checked out...probably by Zane..." He added, the truth was his hand looked like shit and the cameraman was worried it might get infected along with his foot.
Vinny decided to keep his hand out of the water as much as he could, but went he started to shampoo his hair the soap on the cuts hurt like hell, "God damnit..." The cameraman hissed in pain, he was trying his best to bare with it but it was becoming unbearable. "This shit needs stitches..." Vinny thought as he leaned against the wall, of the shower, the steam on his body felt nice, it fogged up the shower and mirror of the bathroom as well. The mirror being fogged made the cameraman feel better, it was probably, because of how many times Enji came out of it. Rida told Vinny, Enji wouldn't come but he was still a little paranoid.
Vinny felt a little dizzy and put his hand on his head. "What the hell...?" The cameraman mumbled, it was no surprise Vinny felt dizzy he was sleep deprived and probably hasn't had a proper meal. The cameraman quickly finished the shower, if he was going to pass out there was no way it would be in the bathroom. Vinny dried himself off and put on his clothes, he was wearing shorts and a shirt. After getting dressed Vinny lied down on his bed and groaned, he was so tired and worried about Garmadon, he probably was safe but Vinny was still worried he wanted his love next to him.
The cameraman tossed and turned trying to fall asleep but he couldn't after an hour of this he eventually drifted off.
(Ayyyyyy new book, this takes place after season 7 and Acronix wants to try and change though he came out of a vortex his brother no where to be seen soooooo yea enjoy!)
A mysterious vortex opened up in the sky and a figure came plummeting to the ground, “Fuck!”the figure shouted out in pain as he landed on the ground a sickening crack heard throughout the forest. The figure managed to brace his impact by keeping his arms and legs bent. His arms and were fine though he stared at his right leg which was emitting with pain. The figure lifted off his hood revealing his long black hair and green markings(not permanent markings)
Acronix let out an annoyed sigh before he carefully grabbed a small pocket knife from his pocket before he carefully began cutting the fabric of his pants. He finally managed to cut off the fabric and kept his attention on his swelling leg. “Great just what I fucking needed!”He shouted not knowing where he was and not caring at all at the fact he was in a forest. Acronix looked around hoping he could find somewhere that looks somewhat familiar, but no luck.
“I could just try walking with one leg and see where the hell that gets me I’ll probably die sitting here either way” Acronix thought to himself. Without caring anymore he grabbed two sticks that looked sturdy enough and positioned them on the side of his leg before grabbed the piece of fabric he ripped off and tying it around his leg. He wasn’t a complete idiot he could at least take care of himself. “Fuck!” He hissed as he tightened. He let out a sigh before standing up and grabbing a large stick that would work well for a walking stick.
“Stupid ninja make get stuck in another fucking vortex and break my goddamn leg…”Acronix mumbled out as he started walking in a random direction. He found a small lake and sat there. He looked down at the water only to see his reflection the green marking on his face were there and he put his hand on it, “Should wash this off if I find some civilisation they might recognise me..”He thought as he carefully used water to wash it off. Acronix stood up again as soon as he was done he grabbed a hair tie off his wrist and tied up his hair.(Yes Acronix does have hair ties on his wrists to me at least)
He continued to limp around until he finally saw civilisation he let out a sigh of relief, “now the hell do I explain this to somebody so that they’ll help me…?”Acronix thought to himself. He found this black hoodie just abandoned on the ground in an alleyway he put it on, It was a little bit oversized but it was perfect it could conceal his identity more. He was going to move but his leg throbbed with pain, he hissed out then slid down the wall.
“Hey…are you alright?”A familiar voice asked. Acro is looked up only to see the very person he kidnapped. His eyes widened and he looked away from Cyrus, “Y-yea I’m fine..”Acronix mumbled out he wanted help from anyone but Cyrus he’s smart enough to figure out sooner or later who he was. Acronix looked back up at Cyrus to see him staring at his leg. “Your leg? What happened?”The inventor asked his voiced laced with worry. “I just fell from a high place, and plus I can still walk” Acronix said as he attempted to stand up only making it halfway up before falling back on the ground this caused the hood to come off his head revealing his face. It took Cyrus a moment to process who he was but when he did his eyes widened, “Acronix!?”Cyrus shouted in surprise. Acronix let out a tired sigh, “If someone hears you shouting I’m literally gonna die…”the previous master of time sighed out before putting his hood back on and swung his head back. “Listen I’d appreciate you not telling the ninja about this, I’m not even planning anything and don’t know where my brother is, so you be on your way now…”Acronix said staring back at Cyrus. It took the inventor a moment but he realised what Acronix meant by falling from a high place. “You fell from a time vortex, didn’t you?”Cyrus asked. Acronix nodded then attempted to stand up again he let out a hiss of pain but managed to stand on one leg.
“You should come with me”Cyrus said. The previous master of time let out a sigh before saying, “Listen I already told I’m not planning anything and I don’t want shit to do with the ninja”. Cyrus stared at him did he really think that he was gonna be taken to the ninja. “I won’t take you to the ninja but I want to help with your leg you’re struggling to move at all on it” Cyrus replied. Acronix stared at him obviously not trusting him, but even if he did tell the ninja he’d probably be taken to prison and that’s better than being out here with a broken leg. “Fine…”Acronix mumbled as the two began making a careful journey back to Borg Tower.
(Wooooo first part seems like it has a good future so I hope you guys enjoy I’ll try my best to upload daily for both of my stories)
(I suggest you go read part 1-5 if you haven’t already)( also I ship Kai and Cole don’t come harass me!)( guys forgive me they’re eating in this chapter but I don’t know if it’s accurate so yea)(Vinny wears a glove on his right hand btw and also the purple oni smoke that comes out of Garmadons’ hands burn in my au my rules)(I’d appreciate if you check out my new book it’s Cyrus x Acronix)
“W-what was that for!?”Vinny exclaimed though it was muffled due to him shoving his face into the mattress. “What, am I not allowed to kiss you?” Garmadon replied in a snarky tone. Vinny didn’t respond and kept his face in the mattress he didn’t mind Garmadon kissing him but it was surprising to think of the fact that the dark lord has fallen for a cameraman.
Garmadon let out a sigh before sitting on the bed and picking up Vinny the putting him on his lap. The larger began nuzzling the smallers’ neck causing his to laugh out, “G-Garm stop t-that it tickles!” The smaller giggled out. Garmadon obviously ignored his pleas to stop because he loved seeing the smaller laugh he just seemed so pure.
There was a knock at the door and Vinny jumped out of Garmadons’ lap and went to the door, it was Kai and Cole, “Hey you two, Master wu told us to come here and tell you Zane made food so come out if you want and that after you can train Lloyd” Kai said before grabbing Coles’ hand and walking away. “Do you wanna go?” Vinny asked which to Garmadon nodded and stood up walking towards the door and Vinny following behind.
The two made their way to where the ninja was sitting they had to add some space for the two but that was quickly dealt with. Cole was already stuffing his face with noodles and dumplings while Jay and Lloyd were eat puffy potstickers. The smith siblings were drinking miso soup and Wu was eating some pie and tea. Garmadon and Vinny began eating whatever (no more describing food) “So Vinny I haven’t seen you since like after the end of the overlord, how’s everything going?” Nya asked trying to be friendly because it was awfully quiet at the table. Vinny looked up at Nya, “oh honestly everythings’ been amazing “he replied.
Jay hesitantly asked, “S-so umm…has G-Garmadon ever hurt you…?” After Jay asked that he received a bonk on the head from Nya and literally everyone stared at Jay. “Why would you ask a question like that?” Vinny asked he was looking down at the table and so was Garmadon they really didn’t like this at all. “I-I’m just curious…I mean maybe like when he first came to your apartment and he didn’t know how to act”Jay replied at this point everyone at the table was giving Jay a death stare while Lloyd on the other hand was curious just like the blue ninja.
“It’s fine you can tell them…”Garmadon whispered quietly to Vinny. The smaller looked up at him with a concerned looked before nodding. “There…there was one time..” Vinny said. At that point everyone focused their attention from Jay onto Vinny, they knew it was rude to talk about but they were so curious. “Just like you said it was when he first came to my apartment he was…adjusting..”Vinny said, Garmadon hated remembering it but, he knew Vinny forgave him he’s apologised a thousand times already.
“So one time he didn’t necessarily understand human culture at all and well that made him angry…..he well….grabbed my hand and you know the purple oni smoke….well it kinda burnt my hand….accidentally of course”,Vinny said looking at his right hand which had a black glove over it. Jay felt really bad asking that question now apologised for the sensitive topic. “Is that what the glove is for?” Zane asked to which Vinny nodded. Garmadon didn’t want to speak he felt guilt all the time about the event and now it felt worse.
“Honestly, don’t feel too bad about Kai burns us nearly all the time in training and he accidentally burns himself sometimes” Cole said trying to brighten the mood and wrapping his arm around Kai. Nya and Jay laughed, “Yea that is true, and Cole only trains with him because he wants to spend more time with Kai!”Lloyd laughed out, Kai and Cole turned a bright red as the others began teasing them. Master Wu let out a sigh of relief to see that the attention has been focused away from his brother and Vinny.
Garmadon felt a sense of relief as well but he was still stressed which to Vinny grabbed his hand and began using his finger to trace circles. Wu and Zane both noticed this causing Zane to become confused and Wu to feel happy for his brother. The group eventually finished eating and moved on from making fun of Kai and Cole turning this back into a normal dinner with the group.
“Shall we go and train Lloyd now?” Wu asked the Garmadon then looked at Lloyd. “Very well, but I shall go do something first” Garmadon said before getting up and going back to his room. Vinny began to worry and stood up he was going to take his plate but Zane told him he’ll take it in. Vinny thanked Zane then went after Garmadon to find him sitting on their bed in their room.
Vinny let out a sigh walked in and closed the door before sitting down next to him. “You feeling alright…?”Vinny asked before gently grabbing Garmadons’ hand, “Yea..”he responded. Vinny turned Garmadons’ head to be facing him, “You and me both know that it wasn’t your fault you had no idea what happened you were just angry and confused, I’ve told you already that I forgive you….”Vinny said before pulling Garmadon down and resting the largers’ head on his chest.
“It was ages ago”Vinny said gently kissing Garmadons’ head repeatedly and stroking his hand through his lovers silver hair. The larger sat up the stared at Vinny before kissing him, this caught Vinny off guard and made him blush. “You could’ve asked me for a kiss” the smaller said. “I know but…it’s better to do it when you don’t expect it” Garmadon replied.
The larger stood up the grabbed the smallers’ hand before kissing it the walking over to Christofern and using a spray to water him, “We shall go to have me probably fail at teaching my son at controlling his oni form” Garmadon said before going down to where the ninja were.
“You two shall make an attempt to listen to eachother” Wu said to his brother and nephew
(I suggest you check out parts 1-50 if you haven't already)
(With Garmadon and Wu this takes place before Vinny left in last chapter)
It was the morning and Garmadon just woke up, he felt slightly miserable, who could blame him, the man he fell in love with is keeping secrets as well is having random stab wounds. The oni was just thankful his brother managed to get him a separate room to Vinny, after the cameraman wasn't in the best of moods. When Wu showed the room to Garmadon, he was curious as to why his brother didn't give the bedroom to begin with so he and Vinny weren't sharing a bed, but Wu laughed out saying he did that on purpose since he suspected something between the two, making Garmadon more paranoid at how obvious the two are in a relationship.
Garmadon managed to drag himself out of bed and out his room where he saw his brother, Wu, "Good Morning brother, sleep well?" Wu asked as he greeted his brother, the truth was the oni didn't get the best sleep, he missed Vinny, he missed hugging and holding onto him as he slept. "Not the best" Garmadon replied to his brother who didn't seem to surprised. "Worried about Vinny?" Wu asked earning a nod from the oni, the long bearded man pulled his brother and began walking, Garmadon was a bit surprised but followed Wu.
"Vinny...is a normal human brother...and some have issues that you wouldn't expect humans to have...though I do understand your concern as he hasn't went anywhere...and the wound on his hand" Wu spoke, as Garmadon listened, he hated this, he knew Wu was right but he didn't want Vinny to have issues he wanted him to be safe and happy. "I know they have issues, but whatever's happening is affecting him mentally and physically you've seen the wound on his hand...I asked him about it and he said he cut it with a razor" Garmadon spoke out his voice not filled with anger but with worry.
The two made it outside of the kitchen, "I can tell...and I'm sure the other ninja can tell too...maybe it's best you don't ask him about it...Vinny needs ti-" Wu was cut off by Vinny walking by quickly, "Morning...I'm going to work..." Vinny mumbled as he rushed off. The oni felt slightly hurt the cameraman didn't acknowledge him more, but after the fight they had I doubt either of the two truly wanted to talk to each other unless they were on good terms.
"Give him time brother...he'll eventually tell you..." Wu spoke in a comforting tone as he placed his hand on his brothers' shoulder who was looking the way Vinny walked by. "I know he will...but I'm worried that when he does it'll be too late..." Garmadon spoke.
(Back with Vinny and Rida go read last chapter for more info on what happened mainly Vinnys' POV)
Vinny and Rida began to jog around, they were near a pretty large park, "Mind if we go run around there?" The cameraman asked the orange eyed man who chuckled out, "You don't have to ask me about where we can go...and you aren't afraid of all the stares you'll get when people see me" Rida asked as he pointed to his scar filled face.
"I don't really care if people stare or not..." Vinny replied as he stopped just before the park, "I'll go if you're comfortable" he added, causing Rida to laugh softly, "I don't remember someone being so worried about how I feel" The orange eyed man said, causing the cameraman to look at him curiously, "So Enji doesn't care? I've kind of wondered what you two are for a while...he seems scared of you" Vinny asked curiously as he stretched out and went to this small stand selling water bottles.
"Enji? Oh he does care about me...and frankly we're both just friends though he's an absolute idiot and flirts...he does it to annoy I'm not particularly attracted to anyone in general...he isn't really afraid of me, he knows his limits and boundaries and not to cross them" Rida spoke as he followed Vinny who gave him a bottle of water.
"That...makes sense I guess...quick question how old are you?" The cameraman asked as he walked back to the park with Rida. "Guess" Rida spoke, Vinny paused for a moment and thought, "36?" The cameraman said curiously ."36!?I'm 29...and Enji's 24, you are?" Rida said clearly looking offended, "I'm 24...and wait you're 29? You don't look 29 and Enji's 24...he acts like he's 9" Vinny said surprisingly. The orange eyed man nodded in response as he followed the cameraman who entered the park.
"I wasn't even close..." Vinny said causing Rida to look at him, "That's so far off..." The orange eyed man spoke causing Vinny to chuckle. "Sorry sorry" The cameraman chuckled out, as the two began to jog. As the two jogged multiple people stared, the two weren't that fazed by it.
"Rida...what's Enji doing for you? You said he wasn't gonna be here because he was doing something?" Vinny asked causing Rida to stop in his tracks and Vinny too. "Now why would you want to know?" The orange eyed man asked as he looked at Vinny with a sweet smile. "I-I'm just curious..." The cameraman responded.
"Enji's just getting something back that belonged to me" Rida spoke, "A-and what's that?" Vinny asked
"An artifact..." Rida spoke, the cameraman could've sworn he heard the orange eyed man's voice become deeper as well as his eyes glow a brighter orange. "R-right..." Vinny replied his voice quiet as he felt a little nervous.
