Dance With You: A Lavashipping Oneshot
Happy White Day!!! I had Cole/Kai A pairing for the @ninjago-valentine-exchange event!
Summary: Kai and Cole go to an LGBT dance and are cute together. Also Kai hasn't told Nya they're dating...
(2,531 words)
“Hey Kai guess what!”
Kai looked up from his phone as Cole came over and plopped down next to him on the couch. His boyfriend’s eyes were bright and he looked very pleased about something.
“What?”
Cole thrust two slips of paper towards Kai, “There's a LGBT+ dance happening at Laughy's Karaoke Bar tonight, and I got us tickets!”
Kai took the tickets from Cole and examined them. They were thicker than he thought they’d be. A glittery overlay shimmered over their surfaces as Kai read the words Admit One: Pride Prom! Food! Drink! Fun! 7:00-Midnight (ID required for alcoholic beverages)
Kai rubbed his thumb over the smooth, shiny slips, doubt in the back of his mind. “Cole, this is… really sweet of you, but you do know I don't know how to dance, right?”
“That's okay, I can teach you some moves! Besides, there's no one right way to dance, you just got to feel the music and let yourself move with it.” Cole let his arms wiggle around as he said that, and Kai smiled despite his initial qualms. Cole was just too adorable to resist.
“If you say so,” Kai answered, then immediately followed up with “Oh shoot, what should I wear?”
“I don't think it really matters,” Cole replied. “I mean it is a pride event, so, something gay?”
“Alright, Kai, something gay, something gay… something…gay…” Kai stared at the jumble of shirts on his unmade bed. So far all he’d found were some t-shirts, old ninja ghis from past seasons, and a sweater vest that he was pretty sure was actualy Zane’s. Despite that possibly being the gayest piece of clothing in the room, Kai didn’t even consider it. It was a bit too dorky for his taste.
Kai sighed and rubbed his chin in thought. Cole had said that dressing fancy wasn’t a requirement, but he’d forgotten one small thing about dating Kai: He was dating Kai, and Kai didn’t go anywhere looking only half his best. Kai turned back to the messy bed, rubbing his hands together, “Let’s do this!”
“Do what?”
Kai’s hands produced a sudden startled spark of flame, and he felt his insides shift as he whirled around to see Nya in the doorway, one hand on her hip, looking at him in curiosity.
“Oh, uhm, nothing! It’s nothing!” He started gathering up the shirts while still maintaining eye contact with his sister, “Just getting rid of some old shirts! Gonna revamp my wardrobe. Can’t have Jay owning more nice outfits than me, amiright?” Kai hoped his unsuspicious smile didn’t look as fake as it felt.
Nya puffed at some stray bangs that had fallen over her eye, “Are you going clothes shopping with Cole then? He mentioned you two were going out later.”
Oh he did, did he? Kai nodded, “Yeahp! Gonna drop off our old clothes at a thrift store, shop around, hit the arcade—bro stuff.”
“Ok, have fun! Jay and I are going out later too, so maybe we’ll run into each other!”
I highly doubt that.
Before Nya could say anything else, Jay’s voice rang out from across the hall, “Nya, have you seen my Miku binder?”
“Did you leave it in my room?”
Before Kai could question why Jay’s binder would be in her room, Nya had disappeared, leaving him alone with his sorry pile of unfancy clothes.
Kai picked up a red hoodie he hadn’t noticed before. The fabric sported a scaley flowery pattern, and there were flame designs going up the back and down the arms. Kai held it up to himself. “Welp, it could be gayer, but it’s the best we got.” Kai pulled the hoodie over his head and checked himself out in the mirror. He looked more cozy than fancy, but Cole was always telling him how cuddly he looked anyways so he supposed it wasn’t the end of the world. Though now that he looked closer at the pattern, he was reminded of one of Nya’s outfits, which gave him an idea…
“I can’t believe you stole Nya’s clothes!”
“Ah—hey, no, I borrowed them. Bor-rowed. There’s a difference, babe.” Kai checked his reflection in the rearview mirror of Cole’s car to make sure his eyeliner hadn’t smudged. It hadn’t and Kai winked at himself, grinning. “What do you think, Cole, Do I look pretty enough for you?”
Cole kept his eyes on the road, “I already told you you look amazing, but yes, Kai,” he stole a quick glance before looking ahead again, “Who knew a boob window would look so good on you?”
“I know!” Kai answered, “And she just had it in the back of her closet! I’ve never even seen her wear it before!” They paused at a stoplight. Daylight was nearly gone by now and the red glowed pleasantly on everything.
“You know,” Cole hesitated, “She probably would’ve given it to you if you’d asked.”
It was Kai’s turn to look ahead. His boyfriend was right, of course Nya would have. But she also would’ve wanted to know what he was dressing up for, and that… He sighed; he just wasn’t ready to tell her. He wanted to. He wanted to tell her everything about him and Cole, about how much he loved him, about the special times they spent together. But any time he imagined telling her there was a weight in his stomach that wouldn’t leave.
The strong warmth of Cole’s hand on his pulled him out of his thoughts. Cole squeezed gently, “It’s gonna be okay, Kai. Whenever you’re ready to tell her, she’ll understand.”
Kai smiled softly and held onto his hand the rest of the drive.
A giant rainbow banner hung above the entrance to Laughy’s, and balloons floated on either side of the doors. The music could be heard from outside and Kai hoped it wouldn’t be too loud in there.
“Fun fact, I’ve never been to a prom before,” Kai said after Cole had turned in their tickets.”
“And I’ve never been to one with a guy before!” Cole replied, eyes shining with excitement.
“Wait, really? Handsome guy like you?”
Cole shrugged, “I wouldn’t have gone at all if Dad hadn’t made me. He’d say that ‘no son of mine will miss an opportunity to outshine potential dance competitors under my watch!’”
"Pfft" Kai knew that Cole’s dad was trying to be better, but stories like these made him lowkey want to fight him.
“Him expecting me to go with girls didn’t help either.”
Kai winced in sympathy. Not there was anything wrong with girls, girls were amazing, cool, and pretty! But it must have sucked for Cole if he’d wanted to ask cute boys out instead.
Inside, the music was even louder, and the bar was decked out in sparkly streamers and colorful, rotating neon lights. There were people in different outfits standing around, dancing, and getting food from the bar. Kai saw Dareth serving drinks and vibing to the music when there was no one to be served. Near where Kai and Cole had entered, there was a photo setup with a cute background and a table to the side that was filled with silly trinkets and accessories to be used as props.
Kai tugged his boyfriend towards it excitedly, “Come on!” Once they were over there, Kai pulled out his phone to take some selfies of them. His breath hitched in surprise when Cole kissed his cheek for one of them., and Kai poked him in the ribs in the spot he knew was ticklish in response. This made Cole squeak at a higher pitch than either of them were expecting, and they both cracked up. Kai then remembered the props and grabbed some fancy glasses. Cole donned a hat that looked like a rotisserie chicken and handed Kai a sign that said “I can't dance” in a silly rainbow font.
After many, many more silly pictures, they turned their attention to the dance floor where a dozen or so couples were throwing it down to upbeat disco music. Cole looked at Kai excitedly and pulled him onto the floor.
Kai was elated to finally be there, but the music was extremely loud and pounded in his ears uncomfortably and he worried that he wouldn't be able to do this after all.
No, you can do this. This is really important to him.
However, the pounding in his skull needed to stop. “Hey Cole, could we move a little further away from the speaker?”
“What?” Cole asked over the noise.
Kai pulled him closer and repeated himself.
“Oh yeah sure!” Kai guided him as far away from the speakers as he could while still keeping them in the dance area.
Once they’d established their place in the room, Cole immediately started busting out moves. Compared to him, Kai felt stiff and awkward. He was still vibing with the music, but he couldn't help feeling eyes watching him from all around.
Don't focus on that, he told himself, focus on Cole. Focus on us. This is our night; it shouldn't matter what others think.
He found himself captivated by the way Cole danced. He did it so naturally, letting his body move to the beat and letting the music flow through him. It reminded Kai of how he looked when he was connecting with his powers, except more elegant and fluid. Cole was one with himself and his movements, and he was beautiful. Kai imagined that it was just the two of them there, and felt himself loosen up significantly.
“Feel the music and let yourself move with it.” Cole’s voice echoed in Kai’s head and he closed his eyes, leting himelf get lost to the current song’s beat.
His eyes flung open again when Cole suddenly decided to grab his hands and spin him around like a top and dip him. Kai found himself supended inches from the ground as his boyfriend’s golden brown eyes stared into his own.
Kai grinned, “Hello there!”
“Pfft, you’re a dork,” Cole responded with a small laugh as he pulled Kai back up to a standing position and held him close.
Kai’s heart melted at how cute Cole looked when he laughed, and he had half a mind to kiss that smile of his. Their faces were already so close… Cole seemed to have the same idea, because his eyes fluttered shut and he and leaned in, his lips parted slightly. Kai was about to meet him halfway, but right before he closed his eyes, he caught sight of two familiar figures entering the bar.
“Cole, there’s a problem,” He whisper yelled, feeling panic claw at his insides.
Cole looked at him in concern, “What, does my breath smell or something?”
“No, Nya and Jay are here!”
“What?” Cole glanced past Kai and his eyes widened in recognition.
Kai squeezed Cole’s hand, “What do we do?”
“Welp, face the music, I guess, cause Jay is waving at us.”
“WHAT?”
Kai’s mind was racing. He had to leave; he couldn’t let Nya see him. He wasn’t ready—oh my gosh they were coming this way…
“…and I mean now that I think about it, if they’re here at a pride event then there’s really nothing to worry about, right?” Kai barely heard Cole’s attempts to reassure him, because he’d locked eyes with Nya, who was giving him an unreadable look. Kai gulped, those looks were always the most worrisome with her.
Jay waved again as they got closer, “Hey, Kai! Cole! Didn’t expect to see you here!”
“Jay, bro!” Cole replied, and fist bumped him. Nya eyed Kai intentionally as their respective boyfriends continued talking, and Kai followed her to a quieter part of the bar, bracing himself for whatever his sister was about to say.
Nya looked him dead in the face, “Why haven’t you told us you two were together? Why didn't you tell me? I'm your sister. We’re supposed to tell each other stuff like this!”
“I dunno,” Kai mumbled, not making eye contact, “I guess I was worried you’d be upset for some reason.”
“Where did you get that stupid idea?” Nya asked, indignantly. “I’ve known you and Cole have been dating for months now, and you are perfect for each other! I’ve been waiting for you to tell me, but apparently you don’t trust me enough! Again, I'm your sister! I support you no matter what.” Nya pulled her brother into a hug, “I want you to be happy, Kai, you deserve it, especially after all we’ve been through. And I’m here for you if you ever need to talk about this stuff.”
Kai felt a bit of moisture in his eyes and returned the hug, holding onto Nya tightly. “I’m sorry for not telling you sooner. You really are the best sister, you know that?” He whispered.
“Oh, I know it.”
Kai snorted in amusement and Nya let go first. Kai then remembered, “I am confused though, why are you and Jay here? Aren't you straight couple?”
Nya looked at him funnily, “Jay is trans man Kai. It's an LGB-T prom, not just a gay prom.”
Kai slapped his hand against his forehead, “I don't know why I keep forgetting that. You are totally right!”
“Also, if you ever steal my clothes without my permission again, I will bust out your baby pictures to show Cole.”
“Oh no, anything but that!” Kai responded, half-jokingly, “but noted.”
A more calming, romantic song began to play, and Kai was suddenly pulled away from Nya and found himself face to face with Cole, who put a hand on his waist and began guiding him through simple dance steps. They swayed from side to side, gazing into each other's eyes. Cole was smiling at him with the cutest look of adoration on his face.
“What are you smiling at?” Kai asked him with a raised eyebrow and a curious smirk.
“Just about how gorgeous you are,” Cole answered.
Kai felt his face flush and he sputtered, “Yeah? Well, you are... really… rockin’?” Kai winced at how lame that sounded, but it just made Cole laugh.
“Oh my gosh that sounds like something Jay would say.” He snorted.
Kai looked Cole in the eyes, “Come on, give me a break. I’m used to being the one saying the smooth pick up lines, not the one getting them said to me!”
“You’re adorable. Hey, how’d it go with Nya?”
“She said she figured it out months ago.”
Cole chuckled, “Of course she did, can’t hide anything from her.”
Kai looked over at his sister—who was totally stealing the spotlight with Jay as they did their special dance routine—and smiled, “She also said we’re perfect for each other.”
“Damn right we are!” Cole pressed a kiss to Kai’s temple, “I love you so much, Kai!”
Kai knew that he would never get tired of hearing Cole say that to him. He pressed his forehead against Cole’s and replied, “I love you too, more than anything.” Then Kai kissed him on the dance floor, surrounded by people just like him, finally unafraid of what anyone would say.
Thank you for reading!!

AU where nothing happened to the Ninja's parents and they're all alive/present at the beginning of the series. For the most part this change is positive. Kai and Nya didn't raise themselves, Cole didn't run away, Zane knows who he is, Lloyd wasn't stuck at Darkley's. But for Jay, this is a negative. Instead of being raised by a loving couple in a junkyard, he's trapped in his birth parent's strained marriage and is absolutely miserable. Also I HC him as trans but in this AU he is definitely still closeted, even in denial about it. Nya befriends him quickly as "the only other girl", which he is uncomfortable with for reasons he can't understand. He's stressed, repressed and depressed and do I enjoy making Jay miserable? A little bit, yes.

i know jay is insignificant to the whole show but him getting on his knees and ripping his shirt open revealing his chest binder and telling little destiny to stab him will never not be iconic
