Polyninja HC. Did you ever ask yourself how they all became a thing?
Some explanations first:
1. I hc that (before the pilots) Wu found Cole first, then Zane and a few month later Jay. I really canāt remember if there was something like that mentioned but I donāt care (pff, canon, why should we reduce our imagination to canon only? ^^)
2. I ignore Jaya for this. Sorry ^^
So, here we go:
When Cole and Zane met, there werenāt any words needed. They lived and trained together, there were gentle touches and words and tiny intimate moments from the very beginning.
Cole mentioned how much he loves cake and the very next day Zane skipped sleeping and made him the best chocolate cake Cole had ever eaten. Cole on the other hand noticed, that Zane loved listening to calm and relaxing music so he searched for the best songs, modified and recorded them new and gave them to Zane.Ā
They often cuddled together. They werenāt really together but it was all very calm and nice between them. There was no need to label themselves as a couple or anything. But when Jay joined the group he thought they are a couple. He felt really uncomfortable. Not because of them being gay, but he felt like an intruder.
That was the point when it all went down. Cole and Zane didnāt want Jay to feel uncomfortable around them and so they stopped being affectionate with each other. But they suffered a lot from this situation and somehow they had a lot of arguments. Zane was a bit left behind while Jay and Cole became friends.
When Kai joined the team it got worse (you know, they were really mean to Zane in s1). Cole felt his heart break every time he was mean to him but he couldnāt help and nevertheless continued with this stupid behavior.
After Zane learned the truth about himself and found his true potential, Cole couldnāt help but apologize for his stupidity. Zane was still shocked from all the things he had learned and needed his friend so much, that he forgave him everything. They became a real couple this time.
Jay felt so incredibly bad since he finally understand that they broke up (or something like that) because of him. And now he noticed, that he wanted to be the one Cole was that affectionate and kind with. He even thought about leaving the team after Zane and Cole now were together.
Cole convinced him to stay and their friendship grew. Since Jay suffered a lot from nightmares and Cole was there to comfort him, if necessary the whole night, they had a very special bond with each other.
Kai on the other hand didnāt notice anything and started to flirt with Cole whenever he could. At first it was just a joke but he was really impressed that Cole reciprocated his flirty allures and soon they made out in the bathroom (Iām heavily inspired by one of @neko-rina s beautiful lava pictures! https://neko-rina.tumblr.com/post/187472070898/do-not-use-trace-edit-repost-sell-render).
Too bad, that Zane walked in. But he simply said:Ā āKai, you could at least have had the decency to ask me to join in if you were approaching my boyfriend.ā
That was the moment Kai realized Zane and Cole were a thing. He started apologizing. But Zane and Cole simply laughed.Ā Cole kissed Kai on the cheek and said:Ā āNah, itās alright dude. We already talked about this. Itās fine if itās you.ā
Kai was shocked and got angry because he thought they are pulling a prank on him. But no, they were serious and about a week later he started to flirt with both of them. Of course it soon became more than only flirting between the three of them.
Jay on the other hand was really confused about this situation and got really angry about it. But instead of telling the others, he just went quieter and quieter. Cole tried to talk to him, but since he didnāt know what exactly was wrong, he couldnāt do anything.
Jay met a lot with Nya at that time and the others thought he had a crush on her. But they were just friends. Nevertheless atĀ least it was Nya who helped Jay to sort out his feelings for the other boys and the reason why he got so angry about the current situation. He realized, that he wanted to be a part of their relationship and that was the point when he found his true potential.
But still he didnāt find the courage to tell the others about his feelings and they on the other hand didnāt include Jay in their flirts since they thought he was straight and interested in Nya.
Nya was a smart girl and knew that the boys were too stupid to find a simple solution on their own. So she teased Kai a bit. She made a bet with him: He had to steal a kiss from Jay or otherwise he had to do her chores for a whole month. If he won, she would do his chores for a month.
Kai tried his usual offensive tactic and flirted with Jay but he failed badly and Jay was angry at him. Kai lost the bet. But, how Nya expected, Jay started talking to Cole and Zane again. They had a few nights out and were eating at restaurants, went to a funfair and finally, at the top of the Ferris wheel Jay told them that he felt like a fifth wheel in the team and that he just wanted to have what they had.
Of course Cole didnāt get the hint and still thought Jay was talking about Nya. But Zane smiled and took Jays hand. He didnāt say a single word, but the way he looked at him made Jay all flustered. He understood, that Zane gave him an invitation but didnāt want to pressure him.
It took a whole week until Jay gathered enough courage to join in the playful banter between the other three boys and, with a bit help from Zane, they began to include Jay.
It took a while and everyone was careful around Jay but in the end they realized, that Jay really wanted to be a part of their chaotic (but lovely) relationship and so they grew together.
And if you want to know where Lloyd fits in: Nya took care of him the most time and after the boys finally sorted out how they felt for each other, they became great brothers/dads for the little boy.
Nya: I keep a picture of all of us in my wallet. Whenever I face difficulties, I take it out and stare at the picture.
The boys: Awwww-
Nya: And I tell myself "If I can deal with these idiots, then I can deal with anything."
The boys: Oh.
The idea of having Cole be with Pirate Jay in his reflection in the tomb of whatever is cool n all, but I like the idea of Cole still being invisable and having Jay just standing threateningly far in the background more
Ive been cackling at the fact that Cole and Zane went from standing so close that their hands were touching, to going at least 10 feet apart, back to standing side by side staring into the sunrise of a new day
Here is another fusion but this time with Kai and Cole! I see them as a bit of a show off but not as much as Jay & Kai would be. Like to seem dark and brooding but when things go wrong they start freaking out a bit. Though they try hard to stay calm.
