Prompt | inspired by the  Cold

Ninjago

❄️- 🍁- ❄️

Patrolling in the winter sucked. It was cold, it was miserable, and to make it even worse the hot chocolate had run out and Kai was too lazy to go out and get some more.

So yeah, pretty sucky!

After nearly freezing his toes off covering for Jay, (who cares if Jay has a suspicious mole! If changing the appointment means Kai doesn't have to go out into the freeze-a-thon then so be it!) Kai snuggled up on the couch with all the blankets, his fire ninja plush, and a mug of boiled water because they also ran out of tea. He had no idea how that happened since Wu was addicted to it.

The old man must have a secret stash somewhere. Kai grumbled to himself, burying deeper into his cocoon. Now that he was defrosting there was no way he was getting up from this spot. No matter how much Nya yelled at him! He swears to the first Spinjitzu master that nothing can make him move!

"Kai, are you ready to go?"

So that's how you want to play, huh? Kai cursed Lloyd's grandfather under his breath as he peeked over the back of the couch to look at his girlfriend.

Skylor came in, wearing a thick burnt orange sweater and a tangerine scarf. A matching beanie was perched on her head, dusted lightly with snow. She placed her hands on her hips when she saw the brunette.

"Kai!" Skylor scolded. "We're supposed to go skating in five minutes!"

Kai snorted, turning around pointedly. "Yeah, right."

"Hey!" Skylor strode around the couch so he was facing her again. "You promised! I participated in that stupid Christmas haunted house with you!"

"That wasn't stupid!" Kai gasped. "We got to be murderous elves!"

Skylor rolled her eyes. "Yes, that was always my childhood dream. To be a part of Santa's little killers."

"Okay, fine, it was lame, but it's cold out Skylor! I'm a literal popsicle!" He whined.

"For the last time! You don't smell fruity! I don't know why that man thought you were ice cream!" Skylor threw her hands up in the air. "Maybe it's the hair!"

Kai scowled. "I'm not moving from this spot!"

"Oh yes, you are! You're keeping your word mister!" If Skylor was a cartoon smoke would be coming from her ears.

Kai shook his head stubbornly, tucking his chin to his chest and glaring at Skylor over his blankets. Skylor paused for a moment, unsure what to do because she hadn't thought that far. Then she grabbed Kai by his socked feet and tried to yank him from the couch.

"What the heck?" Kai yelped, struggling and falling off of the furniture. He rolled into Skylor, causing the girl to topple on top of him.

"Stop wiggling, you idiot!" Skylor whacked him lightly on the shoulder as she fumbled to stand up again. Kai groaned when her knee slipped and ended up banging him in the unmentionables. With a few rushed apologies and an elbow to the face, Skylor finally made it back to her feet. A wince on her face as she watched her boyfriend roll over in pain on the floor.

"Tell you what," she said after a moment, a grimace on her face. "If you forgive me for kneeing you in the crotch then we can stay here."

"Sounds good." Kai wheezed.
