Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon Part 9)

(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

(Ehhhhh this chapter is shiiiiiiit sorry I was writing this on the train I wish I had more time that’s why I can’t upload for my other story I’ll try to upload two parts tomorrow though I hope you guys enjoy❤️❤️)

A Fiery Lovestory (Red Son x Mk Part 7)

(part 7 already wooooo anyways check out part 1-6 if you haven't already also Red Son is shorter than Mk)

(TRIGGER WARNING: IMPLIED SELF HARM)

Mk sat down next to the sleeping fire demon he wanted to keep an eye on him in case Macaque came back, "he's loyal to his parents" those words that Macaque said rang through his ears, Mk felt bad he could really tell Red Son tried hard for his parents and by the looks of it his parents couldn't care less about what happened to their son. Mk let out a sigh before grabbing a spare blanket and falling asleep on the couch sitting up of course.

A few hours later Red Son woke up and looked around. There was a clock mounted on the wall and it read 2:30am the next day, "Fuck I've been sleeping for a while.." Red Son thought to himself before noticing Mk next to him. "Is he asleep?" Red Son thought as he moved closer to Mk "Shit he looks hot when he sleeps....stupid noodle boy..." Red Son added. The noodle boy was out cold which made the fire demon let out a sigh, he really wasn't in a talking mood now. Red Son stood up and got up before going to the kitchen for a glass of water. The fire demon filled a cup before drinking, while drinking, Red Son felt a sharp pain in his chest and clutched his chest. The fire demon placed the cup on the counter and pressed his back against the counter. The pain only began getting worse and he dropped down to his knees.

Red Son began panicking not knowing what to do, so he attempted everything he could do to relieve the pain, he took out his hair, took off the jumper and clutched his chest tighter. Red Sons' tail wrapped around him in an attempt of comfort and he removed his hand then realised he was bleeding. The fire demons' eyes widened and he began breathing heavily, Red Son took off his shirt attempting to see his wounds but when he did the pain hit him again. The fire demon attempted to stand up by grabbing onto the counter but failed miserably causing the glass cup to fall and shatter. Red Sons' eyes darted across the room as tears flowed down his cheeks. He heard a muffled voice but couldn't quite make out what it was saying, he was scared and in pain he began digging his nails into his skin trying to ignore the pain but this didn't work.. He began getting shaken and his hands pulled away which somehow managed to bring him to reality and it was then that he realised he was holding a glass shard and was holding it pretty tightly which made his hand bleed. "What happened...?" the fire demon thought he couldn't remember anything.

"Red Son!? Red Son?! Look at me!" the voice said which Red Son slowly realised that it was the noodle boy, "W-What....?" the fire demon stuttered out he was lost and confused. "Holy shit! Are you alright!?" Mk asked his voice full of worry as he stared at Red Son who was shaking and in tears, Red Son sat there unable to move, still in immense pain, Mk must've noticed this, "H-Hey stay here I'll get things to patch you up with" Mk said in a comforting tone before getting up and quickly rushing to his room. Red Son was left alone there, "W-why'd I? Did I...?" Red Son thought to himself he had one big question Why.....

Why was he letting himself seem so weak? Why did he do this to himself? Why did he want to cry so badly? Why was Mk so kind?...Why was he still here...?

Suddenly Mk came back and sat back down near Red Son with bandages. "Y-you okay firefly...?" Mk nervously asked as he stared at the fire demon his eyes filled with worry. Red Son stared at Mk for a moment before he hugged Mk and began sobbing into his chest. MKs' eyes widened but he quickly recovered from the shock and began stroking his hand through Red Sons' hair, "Shhh...It's alright firefly...cry as much as you want..."Mk said as he gently kissed the fire demons' head. "Wh-why..?" Red Son whimpered out, Mk stared at him, "Why what?" Mk asked, the fire demon held onto him tightly, "Why are y-you so kind to m-me?! I don't deserve t-this treatment..." Red Son sobbed, Mk grabbed his cheeks, "Because I can, and I will and because I'm not going to fucking let you slowly destroy yourself" Mk replied, hearing this made Red Son cry harder, "Everyone's gonna hate you I-f they f-find out..." the fire demon whimpered out, "Well fuck what they think!" Mk replied.

Red Son hated this he hated MKs' kind personality he hated his idiotic voice he hated.....he hated how loved he made him felt.....

He's only ever felt a close connection with Macaque, but now he felt it again, but stronger he hated all of this...After around 5minutes Red Son began slowly calming down and Mk noticed, "How about I fix you up? Those hurt a lot, don't they..?" Mk said in a soothing tone as he stroked his hand through the fire demons' hair, Red Son nodded in response, Mk stared at Red Son for a moment, "Firefly are the bandages from the fight yesterday or did you....?" The noodle boy spoke up nervously, "From yesterday...I-I've never done t-this before...." Red Son replied he voice was soft and shaky. Hearing that Mk let out a sigh of relief but was also really confused, "If he's never done this before why would he do it now of all times...?" Mk thought to himself as he took off the old bandages which were soaked with blood. "Did you bandage yourself or did someone help?" the noodle boy asked, "M-Macaque did it...he always does..." Red Son replied as he winced before hiding his face in MKs' chest. "Guess Macaque really does care about him.." Mk thought before snapping back to reality.

"Sorry..."Mk said not wanting to hurt the smaller, the noodle boy began wrapping new bandages around the smallers' body and new wounds he inflicted on himself. Around 5minutes later Mk had the courage to ask, "Red...? Why'd you do this to yourself...?". Hearing this made the fire demon tense up to be honest he didn't know why he did this all he could remember was getting up for water then being in pain. "I-I don't know....I don't even remember doing it to myself..." Red Son shakily replied. Mk stared at him worriedly before continuing to wrap the bandages. Mk began bandaging the smallers' hand gently and once he was down he gently kissed his hand in an attempt to comfort him. Eventually finishing Mk offered to make something for Red Son to each but was denied. He couldn't blame the smaller if he wasn't hungry he was probably shaken up from the scenario.

"You wanna go rest now?" Mk asked as he carefully picked up Red Son. "Not tired..." the fire demon replied as he nuzzled into MKs' chest, "You sure? You look like you need the sleep" the noodle boy asked again, Red Son nodded "I just...want to be close to you..." Red Son said , "W-what are you going to do about the mess...?" the fire demon added nervously, Mk looked at the ground, there blood and glass shards across the floor. "I can clean it later, right now I need to stay with you" Mk replied as he carefully took Red Son into his bedroom and placed him on the bed. The noodle boy went to the closet and pulled out a jacket and shirt for the fire demon. He handed the clothing and let Red Son put the clothes on.

Mk sat down on the bed and pulled Red Son into his arms causing him to yelp out in surprise, "You wanted to stay close to me, didn't you?" Mk asked as he brought Red Son closer, the smaller blushed before nodding and hugging Mk. The two began cuddling while Mk stroked his hand through Red Sons' hair.

Red Son hated how pathetic he felt but He loved it at the same time, He loved how close they were. He loved.....Mk....

Not to MKs' surprise Red Son fell asleep pretty easily but couldn't blame him. The fire demon was on his lap fast asleep so defenceless. He softly kissed Red Sons' head this made the smaller smile softly before his tail loosely wrapped around Mk. "My firefly..." Mk said out softly

"MK? What the hell?" A voice called out which Mk instantly darted his attention to.

(Also MKs' Chinese name will be mentioned in the story "Qi Xiaotian")

Overwhelmed (Vinny x Garmadon)part 49

(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.

what does happen?

so in helluva boss there’s the 7 deadly sins okay so but like what if they had siblings and they were stronger then their older siblings? Were the weaker cast out and rejected? Or did they not just have siblings?? This has been on my mind for a whole week I need answers!

Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon)Part 88

(I suggest you check out parts 1-87 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

The four entered this room, one in there Shancai shut the door and locked it. They weren’t taking risks of being found. There were seats placed, two next to each other and two in front. The cameraman and the prince sat next to each other while Wu and Jay sat next to each other.

“Ask your questions” Vinny sighed out as he leaned back into the chair. He couldn’t care less about Enji at the moment, he was too tired to deal with him.

“That guy, what’s his name? And how long have you known him?” Jay asked curiously.

“His name’s Enji” the cameraman answered as Wu and Jay listened intently. “I’ve known him for a week or so? Longer than you that’s for sure” he added.

“You’re not working with him?” Wu asked, he clearly didn’t believe his question either, he just had to hear Vinny confirm it.

“Never” Vinny answered.

“Who knows about him?” The lightning ninja questioned.

“Me, my sister and mother” Shancai spoke, receiving a nod from the others.

“That’s because he’s an enemy of the kingdom” Vinny added, clarifying it more.

“How’d you two meet?” Wu questioned, the cameraman let out a painful chuckle.

“Remember that guy I told you about? The random hallucination one?” Vinny asked.

“Yes?” Wu spoke, while Jay looked confused. Wu seemed to be realising where this was going.

“Yes it was him…and he’s made my life a living hell” the cameraman grumbled as he looked at the ground.

“Didn’t you say he-?” Wu was cut off.

“Yea I did…he was threatening everyone, I didn’t know what the ruck to do. Hell I almost told Garmadon about him once, but Enji fucking threatened him too!” Vinny laughed out, though it was clearly forced and the memories were painful.

“Breath…” Shancai spoke to the cameraman softly as he placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.

“Oh right! You and Garmadon are fucking dating?!” Jay suddenly asked, causing Vinnys’ cheeks to grow bright red.

“Yes…” he answered embarrassingly, “We’re on a little break though…” he sighed out, Jays’ mind turned off as he tried processing this.

“So Enji’s the reason you’re like this?” Wu asked, receiving a nod from the cameraman. “Do you know anything about him?”

“Yea…remember when you came back from the mission and I said his powers were like illusions?” Vinny asked, receiving a nod. “That’s cause he’s the elemental master of illusion” he spoke.

“Seriously?” Jay asked, “Anything else he can do?”

“He knows some magic, sometimes when he creates illusions he can turn some into actual objects” Shancai spoke, “And he works with someone named Rida”

“Is Rida worse?” Wu asked.

“It’s…complicated…” Shancai spoke, causing them to see what Vinny would say.

“Very complicated…” The cameraman sighed, as he pulled his dagger from his pocket, “This dagger was Enjis’, but Rida gave it to me for some reason…and so far Rida’s been kinder to be than Enji, but I can’t trust him, he’s unsettling” Vinny spoke.

“Tell them about the key…” Shancai muttered to the cameraman, causing him to tense.

“What key?” Jay asked.

“The key you got back from the mission that disappeared” Wu sighed to Jay, understanding what it meant.

“I…may have helped Enji get it…” Vinny quietly confessed as quilt crawled up his back.

“What?!” Jay spoke as his eyes widened.

“Not by choice! He came to me at like 2am in the fucking morning and looked like if I didn’t do it he would kill someone” The cameraman spoke.

“What’s the significance of it?” Wu questioned, as he nodded in understanding, he understood why Vinny would do such a thing.

“Not sure” the cameraman lied, Deity told him the significance and told him to keep it a secret so he was.

“Me neither” Shancai spoke as he sighed.

“Has Enji hurt you?” Wu asked.

“He stabbed my hand and foot” Vinny spoke bluntly as he held up his hand which had stitches, “So I thankfully had Zane and Pixal stitch it up, i think it was a few days after, but I didn’t want it get infected” He added.

“So the other day, back at the monastery, when you were eating and you just yelled for no reason was it because of Enji?” Jay asked.

“Yea…” the cameraman chuckled painfully, “He’s an asshole I know…” he sighed.

“The person he works with, Rida, is he one we should be wary of?” Wu asked.

“Not sure…Enji listens to Rida and respects him, so I think yes…” Vinny answered.

“Definitely…Rids tends to be the brains of the two, Enji’s smart, but he’s sent out to do plans” Shancai spoke.

“Does Rida have powers?” Jay asked.

“Dark magic or well the dark arts” Shancai spoke, “He’s well in it as well” he added. Wu and Jays’ eyes widened.

“I thought he did normal magic” Vinny spoke as he looked at the prince.

“Rarely, there are things you can only do in those, so he tends to lead into the more destructive path” Shancai answered.

“That’s not good, how long has he been after your kingdom?” Wu asked.

“Perhaps seven years?” The prince spoke.

“Doesn’t Garmadon know more about magic? Maybe he knows counters and stuff?” Jay asked.

“Perhaps, though my brother most likely distanced himself from those things” Wu answered.

“He has…but he still knows stuff” Vinny spoke up, “I asked him about all that stuff” the cameraman continued.

“He answered you?” Wu asked.

“At first he was a bit hesitant, but he eventually didn’t mind telling me about it…he told me all about that stuff, elementals, powers and magic, he definitely knows about it” Vinny answered.

“Perhaps I can ask him?” Wu spoke, receiving a nod from the others.

“Quick question…how does Enji get around, one moment he’s here the next he isn’t” Jay questioned.

“An enchanted mirror, it’s a small shard that teleports him placed, mostly places with a mirror, though sometimes it can take you other places” Shancai explained. “In your case, you were dropped for the sky by one”

“Shanni they don’t know how we got here…” Vinny sighed, he still felt guilty about bringing everyone here.

“You know how we got here?” Jay asked.

“Yes…sort of my fault too…” the cameraman awkwardly spoke.

“Not your fault” Shancai spoke, as he looked at Vinny, not liking him blaming himself.

“Anyways!” Vinny spoke, “I had this fucked up enchanted mirror shard then we dropped from the sky” he sighed out.

“This is all so strange” Wu spoke.

“Trust me…I know” The cameraman chuckled.

“You can’t keep these secrets” Wu sighed, while Jay nodded.

“I know…” Vinny spoke, “It’s just hard…he threatens everyone and sometimes I know he’ll act on those words…”

“We won’t tell the others?” Jay asked.

“Please don’t…” The cameraman begged, receiving nods from Jay and Wu.

“Best we be off then…the others might get suspicious” Wu spoke as he got up.

“Yea…” Vinny spoke, as he watched them go to the door, he relaxed more into the chair.

“If anything else happens tell us” Wu spoke, receiving a nod from the two as they both walked out. Shancai and Vinny were left alone in the room.

“That went way better than I anticipated” the prince spoke up.

“I know” the cameraman laughed out in relief. “That could’ve went so wrong in so many ways” he sighed out.

“I told you, you’re friends are understanding” Shancai spoke as he patted Vinnys’ back.

“I know…I was just overthinking” the cameraman sighed, as he stretched. “Should we go back and train?”

“If you want to” the prince answered, Vinny happily nodded so they both stood up and began making their way back out. They could only hope nothing else happened…

Sorry guys most likely no updates for a while I've been procrasinating on this stupid essay for a while

sooooooooooooooo...about your other ocs what's their personalities and is there a set place for them being introduced in the story???

Shancai, Deity and Willow is who I'm talking about also do they have powers and in another post you said you did concept art is it alright if you upload them, I would love to see how you envision your characters.

good question

The set place is called the Ivory Kingdom...a little place I made up and they live in the Ivory Palace that's all I'm saying.

Also Shancai and Willow are twins though their appearances aren't really close. Also WIllow and Deity call Shancai, Shanni. and Willow sometimes Sunny, or sunshine to make fun of his grumpy attitude

Shancai is very very serious and is more soldier type as well as smart and strong. He guards the palace with his life and has trust issues. Uptight and takes rules very seriously, main weapon is a spear and is extremely agile. ALSO he has vitiligo.

Willow is really laid back and kind, she doesn't really live in the palace and spends most time outside in forests. She might seem like she trusts you but that's to get you to trust her. Big fan of animals. No a fan of her brothers' uptight personality and how he will threaten trespasses or lost people with prison.

Deity the mother of the two twins and really calm and collected, the queen of the Ivory Kingdom, an absolute saint, loves BOTH her children equally. Really peaceful and keeps Shancai from taking the law too far, the punishments aren't bad but Shancai will take it a bit far. Will kill you if you harm her children really dangerous when she wants to.

They have powers but not what you think, other than probably one, won't talk too much about that.

The concept art? Maybe I'll upload it but I'm not the best artist and I have yet to draw Rida, due to complications with that STUPID FUCKING PHOENIX MASK AND ROBE also Shancai, Willow and Deity all have black scleras which is the white park of your eyeball and they all have gradient arms meaning they start one colour and fade into normal skin colour.

Shancai and Willow are both 24 and Deity is 45 and looks fucking amazing for her age

Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon)Part 68

(I suggest you check out parts 1-67 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

Vinny began to stir awake mumbling incoherent words as he did. As his eyes fluttered opened he stared out the window, it looked late maybe 11pm or something. Why was he up? How did he get to bed? Where’d Deity do? When did he sleep? Questions ran through his mind, but it faded when he realised how fucking thirsty he was.

The cameraman sat up in bed and brought his arm up to rub his eye, but as he did so he realised he had the cast on. “Forgot about that…” he spoke to himself before stretching and getting out of bed. Maybe he could find a servant and ask for water, he put his shoes on and left his room, the door clicking as it was shut.

The halls were lightly dimmed and isolated, just the faint burning of some candles and the wind blowing outside. Vinny began walking down the hallways, dehydration continued to catch up to him as he licked his chapped lips. As he continued walking he began admiring the paintings on the walls unaware of what was in front of him.

He let out a grunt as he bumped into something, more someone. “Sorry…” Vinny apologised as he realised he bumped into someone, his gaze going up as he went to look at the person, Shancai? Why was he up? The prince looked down at Vinny, he was still wearing his full suit of armour and had his spear out.

“Why are you up?” Shancai questioned the cameraman who was just as confused as he was.

“Uh r-right, I’m thirsty…was trying to find some water…” Vinny replied awkwardly as he balanced on his heels, “What about you…?” He added, he wanted an answer, but didn’t make it seem too forceful.

“Just returned from patrol as well as my room being this way…and as for your thirst I can guide you” Shancai replied.

“Thank you” Vinny spoke with full joy, “Patrol? It’s late, are you usually gone this long?” He questioned, as he began following the prince who walked down the hallways.

“Depends…I usually have shorter patrols, but when I found you all it cut it short…and since you mentioned Enji, I wanted to make sure he wasn’t going to attack the kingdom! Shancai answered as he closed his hand tightly on his spear and it disappeared.

“R-right…guess that makes sense, how does your spear…do that?” Vinny questioned once more as he pointed to the princes’ now gone spear.

“Enchanted…my mother said it belonged to my father” Shancai answered, “Unlike my sister, I’m no elemental and unlike my mother I’ve never taken interest in learning magic” he added, Vinny nodded in understanding.

“Did Willow come to find you?” The cameraman questioned.

“Yes…did my mother tell you?” Shancai sighed.

“Sort of…Willow took me to your mother and she just told her to find you” Vinny replied, receiving a nod from the prince.

“Did you and my mother speak? She helped your arm, correct?” Shancai questioned as he went down a shorter hallway into a larger room which seemed to be a large kitchen.

“Yea…we spoke for a while, she’s really nice…” Vinny answered as he watched Shancai grab a glass cup from the cupboard, “I think I fell asleep there and she took me to bed” he added.

“Any reason you slept?” Shancai questioned as he filled the glass cup from a tap, more specifically a filter.

“I opened up a bit…must’ve started crying…” The cameraman sighed as he gave the prince a small smile as he was handed the cup of water.

“Your friends are elementals, correct?” Shancai asked, receiving a nod from Vinny, “Are you not one?” He added.

“Thankfully no…I would never be able to handle that…” the cameraman confessed as he drank the water quickly.

“Then you and I are alike…” Shancai spoke.

“Not really…you seem like really fucking good at fighting and really brave” Vinny replied awkwardly as he filled up his glass again after Shancai allowed him.

“Skills don’t determine one’s alikeness” the prince spoke, “You’re brave for putting yourself in the frontline of death with Enji” he added, that’s what Vinny constantly heard…but it sounded different from everyone…Shancai’s was a praise, Willow’s was a comfort and Deity was lovingly, he loved it all though…

“It’s…just what I need to do…” Vinny sighed.

“You’re in a relationship with one of the, correct?” The prince asked.

“Willow told you?” Vinny chuckled, Shancai nodded, “Your mother asked me the exact same thing…and I’ll give you the same answer, yes I am…the last one that was with me” The cameraman added, pain constantly tainted with his voice.

“I’m not one well with relationships…he worries for you?” The prince asked as he grabbed a spare metal bottle and filled it up from the filter.

“Yea…so does everyone…” Vinny answered, he’s had this conversation like two other times with Willow and Deity.

Shancai just nodded as he closed the metal bottle and handed it to Vinny, he didn’t seem to press on with questions. “Best we off to bed?” The prince spoke, receding a nod from Vinny as he took the bottle.

The two silently walked back to their rooms, before they stopped at the doors. Vinny was relieved they were right next to each other and that Willow was there as well. “You are aware the closest contains clothes?” Shancai questioned as he pointed to Vinnys’ messed up hair and clothes.

“T-they do?” The cameraman spoke, clearly surprised.

“Yes…go have a shower, I can bring you something to cover your cast” Shancai answered.

“Ohhhh thank you thank you” Vinny repeated, “You’re the best…” he added, he was really grateful, Shancai seemed surprised by the comments.

“It’s…no problem…” the prince spoke awkwardly, he didn’t seem used to to praise, but he quickly went in his room and grabbed a plastic bag of some sorts and came back out. “Would you like help putting it on?” He questioned, Vinny nodded happily and Shancai quickly put it on.

“Thank you…” The cameraman sighed once more before going in his room.

“I’ll most likely be awake once you finish, you may come see me if you need anything” Shancai spoke before walking into his room, Vinny waved bye and closed his bedroom door.

He stated towards the closet and opened it, there were different types of clothes, more modest ones for going out, cozy ones and then there were silk pajamas that looked so fucking comfy. Vinny had never worn silk before so when he felt it he immediately was gonna wear it.

As he entered the bathroom he was jaw dropped, it was huge. A large bath and a sheer with a rainfall shower head and a normal one. What else did he expect? It was a kingdom after all. He stripped, making sure to take the dagger out of his pocket and put it on the sink. He then spent the next 5 minutes debating if he should bathe or shower…the bath seemed so fucking comfy….

“Screw it…” Vinny chuckled to himself before turning on the bathtub. He was gonna spoil himself he fucking deserved it, anyone that disagrees is an ass. As the tub slowly filled up, Vinny stared at the different bath salts and oils. When was the next time he was gonna get an opportunity like this? He read the instructions of how much to use of the lavender oil and bath salts and put it in.

He got into the bath and almost let out a soft moan at how relaxing it was. If he ever done this again it probably wouldn’t feel the same…cause hopefully he wouldn’t have fallen out of the sky, had a broken arm, and was being haunted by some man.

Vinny made sure to keep his broken arm out of the water, it was a shame he would’ve loved to have his whole body in the water, but beggars can’t be choosers. He cameraman shut his eyes and inhaled the soft comforting scent of lavender.

He jolted up by knocking against the door, his eyes were droopy, did he fall asleep? “Who is it?!” Vinny called out.

“Shancai…wanted to make sure you didn’t drown” the prince spoke from the other side of the door.

“I’m fine! Thanks for checking!” The cameraman called out.

“May I come in?” Shancai requested, Vinny was weirded out by this request, but sighed.

“Uhh…sure?” The cameraman answered awkwardly as he sat up properly and closed his legs

The door opened and there Shancai stood…he definitely showered as well, he was wearing dark emerald green silk shorts and button shirt. Vinny noticed how much of his vitiligo trailed across his body…but he also noticed other marks, patterned marks that moved all over his body. The patterns were like flowers, but very intricate designs.

“My apologies for the intrusion” the prince spoke, Vinny looked up at him and had to hold back a laugh, he was wearing a bonnet…not that it was bad it was really fucking funny.

“N-no problem” Vinny answered as he stared at the prince.

“You are aware you’ve been in here for an hour and a half” Shancai added.

“W-wait really?” The cameraman answered, he was clearly surprised maybe he did fall asleep in here.

“Yes…your hair’s a mess…” the prince sighed as he grabbed the dagger from the sink, “Would you mind if I cut your hair a little?” He added.

“Uhh…not really? I doubt it can get worse than this…” Vinny replied awkwardly, the prince nodded and came over turning Vinnys’ head to the side as he used the dagger and cut of pieces of hair.

Vinny was nervous, but his hair was an overgrown mess. Before he could think of anything else, Shancai was done, he put the dagger back on the sink, “Finish up…I would let you stay in here longer, but if you fall asleep again I don’t trust you not to drown” the prince spoke as he left and closed the door.

Vinny nodded even though Shancai left, he quickly washed up and got dressed and damn were those pajamas comfy. He looked in the mirror, Shancai did a good job cutting his hair. Vinnys’ body hurt less, his muscles ached less and everything seemed better.

Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon)Part 64

(I suggest you check out parts 1-63 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

(With Garmadon and the others)

They all just followed Willow, she occasionally brought down tree branches and ate fruit from them. Her was a white and silver like colour with black tips.

“The Ivory Kingdom has never been mentioned in any of my scrolls, it sounds a lot like Shintaro” Wu spoke, as he broke the deafening silence.

“Shintaro? I think I’ve heard that before…but the Ivory Kingdom’s is in it:s own secluded area, my mum’s said it’s been a secret place for years” Willow replied as she looked back at them.

“Your mother…she sounds like an important woman, and you said she could get us back, does she possess of any powers?” Garmadon questioned, he did seem quite curious about this place.

“She’s amazing! Power wise she does magic, and it’s where me and my brother got our eyes and the mark” Willow replied happily, she seemed to love her mother a lot.

“Magic? Dark magic?” Zane questioned.

“No silly! Normal magic, she doesn’t do anything bad unless it’s for a good reason” Willow laughed.

“What’s her and your brother’s name?” Pixal questioned.

“My brother’s Shancai while my mum is Deity” The nature elemental replied as they all continued walking.

Wu and Garmadon were exchanging thoughts through their expressions, still silently talking about the magic part.

A shiver ran down their back as they passed a darker area of the forest…vines blocking the entrance…dead shrubs and trees while a repulsive smell caused slight nausea. It was like night and day between the sides…the lush and lively side compared to the dark, and rotten side.

“What’s…there?” Wu hesitantly asked as he pointed to the area, Willow’s expression hardened as she stopped walking and stared into the dark side. Vines began to cover more of the entrance as she let out a shaky breathe. The change in her behaviour created uneasiness in the others.

“That…is where my enemy lives…” Willow eventually replied, her lively and friendly expression gone replaced with a cold, and fearful expression.

“Your enemy? What’s this enemy like?” Garmadon questioned.

“A snake…part anacondrai and hypnobrai…but she’s blind so can’t really use hypnotism” Willow confessed, her voice feigned with malice and annoyance for this snake.

The rest of the group looked surprised, anacondrai and hypnobrai…that’s a dangerous combo…”This snake…is there anything else important about her?” Zane spoke.

“She has the voice of a siren…listening to it is basically just as worse as a hypnobrai…” She grumbled, “Blind as a bat…her name’s Rushifa…”

“She sounds…interesting…” Pixal spoke.

“But don’t worry! All you have to do is stay out of that area and cover your ears if you here singing…she will eat you” Willow spoke a little awkwardly.

“She doesn’t come out from there?” Wu questioned.

“Not really…she stays in the forest that’s for sure, but there’s idiots so she gets a free meal…” Willow spoke before she began walking again, expecting the others to follow. The others did follow and quite quickly as well.

“I don’t know how I feel about this place…” Garmadon whispered to Wu.

“Me neither…on one hand it seems nice and then there’s places like that…” Wu responded.

“Let’s just hope the others landed somewhere safer than us…” the oni sighed as he thought about Vinny.

“Agreed…I’m sure Vinny’s safe, the others have taken quite a liking to him” Wu spoke in an attempt to comfort his brother. It was true though, the ninja really did like Vinny, who could blame them?

(With Vinny and the rest of the Ninja)

As Vinny trudged next to Shancai, occasionally looking back at the others, who were staring at him worriedly wanting to pull him away from the man, but didn’t. Shancai seemed like a strong person, one that they didn’t know the full potential of yet.

“I’ll have a look at your arm at the palace” Shancai spoke to Vinny, there was no emotion in it, he seemed good at remaining stoic. The cameraman just nodded, he seemed a little relieved to have his arm taken care of.

“Lloyd tell me you have a bad feeling about this guy…because if you had a bad feeling about Vania and not him then there’s something up with you” Cole shouted in a whispered.

“Geez okay, I really don’t like him…” Lloyd confessed quietly.

“He scares me…” Jay whispered.

“He looks…very unique…in a good way” Nya spoke, “But what does he want with Vinny?” She added.

“How are we meant to know? Vinny happens to have the worst luck ever…” Kai sighed, looking at the cameraman with sympathy.

“Which is sad cause he’s a great guy…” Cole chimed in, receiving nods from the others.

They continued walking down a path before entering two large gates…made out of an interesting stone. “Woah…” Vinny spoke quietly as he stared at the gates that towered over them.

A man looked over the gates, “You’re back early Shancai!” The man spoke from above as the gates began to open.

“There’s some people that need to see my mother” Shancai plainly replied as he walked through the gates followed by the others.

“Must be important if you decided to accompany them” Another man spoke from above the gates as well, Shancai just nodded before he continued walking.

They walked through an area which seemed to be the slums, young kids and elderly people waved towards Shancai, and he gave them a warm smile and nod, the only emotion he seemed to show so far.

“So he can show emotion…” Jay muttered, receiving a gentle hit on the head from Nya.

Vinny seemed surprised as they walked through most likely the markets, stalls upon stalls stood next to each other as people held out their merchandise while buyers attempted to bargain with the owners.

Everyone seemed to have some jewels with them, whether it be diamonds, emeralds, sapphires or rubies, everyone in the market seemed to have one…though there was something that was used to buy merchandise…is was a red gem…not quite a ruby. But it was a currency, and it seemed familiar reminding Vinny of the gems on Shancais’ spear.

The cameraman was a bit surprised as he bumped into Shancai’s arm which was in front of him, stopping him from walking. Vinny was going to question him before he saw a bunch of kids run by with what seemed to be a new kite.

“This place is amazing…” Cole spoke happily as he laid his eyes on a food stall, only then did he realise how fucking hungry he was, so did the others. Especially Vinny, he regretted skipping breakfast this morning.

“Once we get to the palace and inform my mother of your predicament, I’ll have some food prepared” Shancai spoke as he continued walking.

“A-are you sure? We couldn’t possibly, it’s nice enough you’re helping us” Lloyd spoke, as Cole, Jay and Kai glared at him, they really didn’t want Lloyd ruin their chances of food.

“It isn’t necessarily a problem” Shancai spoke, “I am unaware if my mother can even help you get back, though the palace would be open for you all to rest” he added.

“T-thanks…” They all spoke.

Shancai reached a palace…and hell was it pretty…large black tinted windows occasionally placed, multiple guards protecting the place and as they entered long hallways, with white and red curtains draped across the windows while the same colour palette for the carpets. Rooms upon rooms, as what seemed like servants chattered happily as they worked.

“This place is huge…” Kai spoke in amazement, his voice echoing in the halls.

Vinny was just as amazed and occasionally looked up at Shancai, he would sometimes receive a nod of acknowledgment before his eyes flicked back down to Vinnys’ arm.

“Does it hurt?” Shancai questioned Vinny as they walked.

“A little…only when I move it, I can’t really straighten it without pain…” The cameraman responded.

“Most likely a fracture then, keep it still just incase, if it snaps then it’ll be much worse” Shancai responded, receiving a nod from Vinny.

As they entered a room…a woman…sitting on the ground…scrolls thrown across the floor as she read over things. She was quite beautiful…floor long white hair that flowed down before fading away at the ends, black scleras and silver irises just like her son, she had the Yang sign on her right cheek, while she worse a robe with clouds and stars on the end of it as her hair covered her body.

“Mother…”Shancai spoke softly, affection and worry tainting his voice as he bowed down.

Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon)Part 67

(I suggest you check out parts 1-66 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

(With Garmadon, this is after Deity and Vinny spoke)

Garmadon couldn’t get Vinny out of his mind, his concern just etched itself into his mind. He laid on his bed thoughts plaguing his mind as this whole situation grew more bizarre by the day.

Maybe he just needed some fresh air…and that’s what he did. He got up from the bed and left the room, closing the door behind him. The halls were fairly quiet, other than the few occasional chatters of the servants, discussing their guests.

The oni walked down the long hallways, strangely he didn’t receive any weird looks. Back in Ninjago people would stare at Garmadon with fear and disgust…here though, they seemed used to it…it did made sense, Deity, Shancai and Willow had unique appearances not that they were bad.

As he strolled down, he was trying to find his way back to that garden from before, but it was difficult the halls led in all sorts of directions, not that he minded it was nice exploring more of the palace.

He paused as he saw Deity walking by herself down the halls, “Should I approach her…?” He thought to himself, but before he could decide on anything she noticed him and gave him a soft smile before walking over. It was weird…seeing someone taller than him…

“Hello dear, are you looking for something?” Deity spoke softly, Garmadon shook his head, “Ah, so just wandering?” She added, receiving a nod from the oni.

“Just needed some air…I was trying to find the garden” Garmadon spoke.

“Walk with me” She spoke as she began walking, the oni nodded and followed after her, he didn’t know if he should trust her, but she seemed kind so far.

“How are you and your friends faring here?” She asked.

“Well from who I’ve seen” Garmadon spoke, “Mostly surprised by this place” he added, causing Deity to chuckle.

“The kingdom is a bit exotic” She answered, receiving a nod from the oni, “Say, I have a bit of a question…my daughter brought it up before and I was just curious” she added.

“Go ahead” Garmadon replied, he was curious as to what was brought up.

“You and…Vinny, are you close?” She asked.

“I…I thought so…but now…I don’t really know…” He confessed, his voice becoming quieter as he looked at the ground.

“Oh…did you two have something going on?” She questioned, there was hesitation in her voice clearly not wanting to overstep boundaries.

“Yea…” Garmadon sighed, he didn’t know why, but he trusted Deity…everything about her was comforting, “We’re dating…” he reluctantly added.

“Willow was right” She chuckled, receiving a confused look from the oni, “She told me that she thought there was something going on between you two, guess she was right” she added, clarifying it more.

“Is it obvious?” Garmadon questioned.

“A little…but she’s good a spotting things out like that…I spoke to Vinny not long ago” She replied.

“Is he alright…? His arm?” The oni questioned, concern etched on his face.

“His arm’s broken, but I put it in a cast and now he’s sleeping…we spoke for a while” Deity replied, Garmadon let out a shaky sigh of relief, at least Vinnys’ arm was cared for and he was resting.

“Did he eat?” The oni questioned.

“Yes, gave him food while I checked his arm” She answered, this really comforted Garmadon, knowing Vinny was being taken care of.

“Thank you…for taking care of him…he hasn’t been well lately…” Garmadon spoke as they continued walking.

“It’s no problem dear, I noticed he wasn’t well…I’ll make sure to take care of him for you and Willow and Shancai are making sure he’s well as well” Deity answered.

“Is…there any reason for how he’s acting?” Garmadon questioned, he desperately wanted to know what was happening to Vinny.

“I am unsure at the moment…” she lied, “But I’ll tell you if I find out” She added, this was also a lie. She would only tell if Vinny let her.

“Am I…doing something wrong…? At first I didn’t think much of his attitude change…but then he had a stab wound on his hand…he was physically and mentally drained…” Garmadon began speaking as they exited the palace and into the garden.

Deity’s expression softened, “I understand your concern…I’ve seen my fair share of lies in my kids…though I also understand the pain of love…scared of everything that could happen to them…” she spoke softly, “And I’ll speak to you not from my mother side…but the part of me that was the wife to someone long ago…” She added.

“I…” Was all Garmadon could say, no one’s really opened up to him before other than Vinny.

“Seeing someone you love suffer silently is terrible…the best you could do is make sure they don’t die…” Deity spoke softly as she stared out from the staircase onto the garden and saw Willow there laying in the grass.

“Your husband…you lost him?” Garmadon asked hesitantly.

“I…I don’t even know, he just disappeared he’d show up with bruises and one day I went in our room…it was a mess…the window was open and everything had been thrown around…that was 7 months after our kids were born…” she sighed.

“I’m sorry for that…” Garmadon spoke.

“You and Vinny are alike in many ways…” Deity chuckled, Garmadon stared at her curiously, “One day you’ll understand…if you wish to talk you know where to find me” she added before walking back inside the palace leaving Garmadon outside.

The oni stared out into the sky, the Sun retreating beneath it’s covers while the moon slowly awakened, he turned his attention to Willow who was still laying in the grass, looking quite peaceful.

He looked back up at the sky and sighed the wind hitting against his face was comforting…make sure they don’t die…those words rung through Garmadons’ ears, it was smart…Vinny clearly wasn’t going to say anything anytime soon.

The oni rested his head against the railing, hunching his back as he stroked a hand through his hair and groaned, why does everything just get worse…? What was he meant to do? They have a new villain and potential allies here and whatever seemed to be happening was dangerous.

Everyone seemed concerned about Vinny and could you blame them? His mental and physical health declined in the span of like a week, “this idiot…I love him…” Garmadon thought to himself.
