Overwhelmed (Vinny x Garmadon) part 37

(I suggest you check out parts 1-36 if you haven't already)

Vinny went back to his room and sat on the bed before beginning to drink his second cup of coffee. The cameraman looked around then down at his hand which was wrapped in a bandage, he was wearing socks on his feet to cover the bandage there. He let out an annoyed groan before carefully taking off the bandage. Vinny stared at the wound in his hand and grimaced,

The cameraman wrapped it up again not wanting anyone to see it, "Can't tell anyone anything..." he thought to himself as he drank more coffee. Garmadon came in the room catching Vinny off guard. "You...feeling okay...?" The oni hesitantly asked, the cameraman nodded in response as he hid his hand. "How much sleep did you get last night...?" The oni asked as he sat on the opposite side of the bed, "Enough sleep..." Vinny responded before getting up, he walked up to the dresser and looked in the mirror, "I don't look that bad..." The cameraman mumbled.

"You're limping...did you trip...?" Garmadon asked worriedly as he stood up and walked closer to Vinny. "Yea...last night when I was showering..." The cameraman replied obviously lying and avoiding eye contact. "Did you sprain your ankle? Or did something stab you?" The oni asked clearly noticing the bandages hidden under the socks. "Stabbed..." Vinny replied as he looked away.

"What stabbed you?" Garmadon asked, "A razor..." Vinny responded, the oni looked at his lover, "You're lying...the only way you could be stabbed by one is if it is taken out of the handle...what really stabbed you?" The oni asked more concerned. The cameraman looked away and kept his hand hidden as well. "Did something happen to your hand too...did the razor somehow manage to stab it?" Garmadon asked noticing the bandages.

"Nothing happened..." Vinny responded as he attempted to walk away. "You're not leaving this room" Garmadon said protectively. "Why?" The cameraman asked as he tried to find ways to leave the room. "You may be able to get past me with your lies but you look like you haven't slept at all" The oni said desperately wanting Vinny to get some sleep.

"I'm not lying! And who's to say I haven't gotten any sleep?!" The cameraman responded starting to get protective of himself. "Yes you are! You've been hiding things from me and think I wouldn't notice!" Garmadon responded his tone sad and filled with worry. "Can I not keep things to myself every now and again!?" Vinny responded angrily, he body tensed up.

"Not when it's impacting you physically and mentally!" Garmadon responded, this pissed Vinny off and he looked at him, "You're not normally like this...I know you..." He added sadly.

(I've been in like the most depressing mood so here's another depression chapter)

Overwhelmed(Part 11 Vinny x Garmadon)

(You should check out parts 1-10 if you haven’t already, yea guys I’m uploading again I think it’ll be a little longer and hopefully better than part 10 cause like I had no idea what to write for that part and I was extremely busy but I care about ya’ll so I made time)

After that little outburst at Misako, Garmadon just stormed off to his room went in, “Garm..?What’s wrong..?”Vinny asked knowing something was off. There was no response instead Garmadon just stood there. Vinny placed his book to the side. “Sweetheart…come here…”Vinny said holding out his arms inviting Garmadon into a hug. The larger was hesitant but hugged his lover and hid his face in Vinnys’ chest. “Do you wanna talk about it…?”Vinny asked which Garmadon mumbled no.

Vinny held Garmadons’ hand which was repeated by the larger. “Did you get into a fight with someone…?”Vinny asked, the thought of what just happened stressed Garmadon out and he squeezed Vinny’s’ hand tightly. Since he isn’t necessarily human his grip was much tighter. It hurt Vinny and it didn’t help that it was the one that is burnt, Vinny thought his heart is pure he didn’t say anything not wanting his lover to be upset even more. Vinny used his left hand to stoke Garmadons’ sliver hair. “Was it Lloyd..?”He asked which Garmadon shook his head. “I won’t ask you anymore questions I don’t want to make you uncomfortable”Vinny added.

There was a knock at the door, it was Lloyd and Wu. The two had heard the whole argument between Garmadon and Misako, they both felt a sense of guilt. “May we come in?”Wu asked which Vinny nodded to. They both walked in and sat on the bed. Lloyd was staring at how Garmadon was holding onto Vinny he wanted to hate it but he couldn’t he has seen how the two act and can help but think the two make a good couple. “Do you know what happened..?”Vinny asked, Wu nodded in response. Vinny gently lifted Garmadons’ head, “Can they tell me what happened…?”He asked calmly if his lover didn’t want him know then he wouldn’t know no matter how curious he is. Garmadon nodded before nuzzling Vinnys’ chest. “Ok so what happened?who the fuck made him upset?”Vinny asked his whole attitude changed from aww my poor sweetheart to I’m gonna fucking kill someone. Lloyd and Wu could really tell Vinny was serious. “Ok so what happened is…” (I’m not explaining that go read the other parts and find out)

After they finished explaining Vinny looked flustered at the fact Garmadon said those things about him and pissed off he looked like he was gonna go kill Misako. Garmadon was quiet he didn’t want to think about it so he said nothing and continued to cling onto Vinny. “When I get my fucking hands on I’m gonna…”Vinny whispered looking away but clearly not quiet enough as all three of them heard him. Garmadon felt flustered at the thought of Vinny being protective of someone who could very much protect himself. “We understand you’re angry but please try to avoid Misako I don’t need anything else happening”Wu said.

Garmadon looked up at Vinny before gently kissing him and saying, “I love you..”then going back to snuggling him. Vinny turned this bright red and stared at Wu and Lloyd who were just as surprised as Vinny. “So I was right”Wu said causing Lloyd to turn to him. “What do you mean you were right?”He asked, “Did you not see their unusually close bond”Wu said, Lloyd was gonna say something else but said, “Fair enough”. “Well you know now, the only person that knew about it was Nya, she walked in on me showering Garm in kisses”Vinny said. “I’d appreciate it if you don’t tell anyone else”He added causing the two to nod in agreement. “I want to know everything, more so on the lines how the fuck did you confess”Lloyd said.

(ok I don’t have anymore time I think I’ll upload tomorrow I’m sorry for anyone wanting the redemption story to have a new part I’ll try to upload for both tomorrow there’s just so much family events and drama happening sorry for any spelling mistakes I hope you enjoy this chapter is longer but I don’t think it’s that great I think I like the other chapter more)

Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon)Part 61

(I suggest you check out parts 1-60if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

Vinny turned his attention to the door as Pixal walked out, Zane quickly noticed her, “Is something wrong?” The ice ninja asked, as everyone came around,

“Sadly yes…the key from yesterday is missing, I’ve checked the cameras and the man you all met as well as a masked accomplice were on it” The female nindroid spoke, Vinnys’ eyes widened hearing that, they were bound to find our eventually, but it still scared him.

He did feel some relief when Pixal said to was a masked accomplice, that meant Enjis’ illusion worked. “How’d they get in? The scanner only has a few people registered” Nya spoke as worry creeped on her face.

“I am unsure…perhaps a mask or some sort” Pixal replied.

“Well this is great…we have to deal with that guy and someone else” Kai groaned before receiving a comforting pat on the back from Cole. The cameraman felt terrible, but he constantly reminded himself this was to protect them.

“Did the cameras show anything else?” Wu questioned, the others looked at Pixal, curiously.

“Yes, the man seemed to have vanished after he used a mirror of some sort” She spoke, causing everyone except Vinny to turn their heads in confusion.

“A mirror? Most likely enchanted then” Garmadon spoke, hearing this made Vinny take a sharp breathe. He knew the others were smart, but he didn’t want them to guess it so accurately.

“That would make sense” Pixal replied.

“What time was it when it happened?” Vinny questioned, he needed to ask questions, would be less suspicious that way.

“Around 2:30” The female nindroid replied.

“I got up for water around that time…didn’t see anyone” Lloyd spoke, catching the attention of the others.

“Perhaps they hid” Zane spoke, receiving nods from the others.

“This sucks…” Jay groaned in annoyance.

“Agreed…as much as I enjoy battles, this is too much, that chest and key seem pretty dangerous” Cole added.

“Pixal, is there any chance you could track the energy signal of the chest again?” Wu asked.

“I have already started that, though the odds of finding it again are low” The female nindroid reply.

“I say we train…nest time we see that guy we can defend ourselves better” Kai spoke as he formed a fireball in his hand. Wu nodded and pointed the ninja to the training course, they all went back to training except Lloyd, he sat next to Vinny.

The cameraman let out a shaky breathe he didn’t even know he was holding, when he saw the others leave. Though anxiety returned when Lloyd sat next to him.

“This is a bit crazy, eh?” Lloyd spoke as he leaned back, Vinny just nodded. “Man…this guy’s annoying me…” he added.

“Agreed…causing problems for everyone…” The cameraman replied.

“I’ll go train a little then come back, alright?” Lloyd asked, receiving a nod from Vinny.

The cameraman was left alone again, he reluctantly took the wrapped mirror shard out of his pocket and observed it again. He made sure Wu and Garmadon weren’t looking, they seemed more focused on criticising the ninjas fighting ability and seeing what they could work on.

He continued to stare at the shard, turning it to stare at its sides, it was definitely broken off something due to its sharp and jagged edges. Though it did have a nice colour tone to it, a extremely light orange and red with a sort of metallic finish.

He took a shaky breathe as it began to warp again, the orange and red becoming darker as it spun around instead turning to a blue and purplish colour. He was curious as to what would happen, when it happened last time he dropped it on the ground and it went back to normal.

The warping continued before it zapped Vinny slightly causing him to drop it in the ground…but when he did…it didn’t stop like last time, it kept going causing Vinny to throw the cloth on it to try and hide it.

To the cameramans’ surprise…the ground beneath everyone turned the same purple and blue colour…“What the fuck!?” Kai shouted as he stared at the ground, everyone was confused and slightly terrified, Vinny was freaking out. If the others found out this was his fault he was fucked.

Without warning…they fell through…they all shouted as they fell from the sky…Garmadon, Wu, Zane and Pixal weren’t there…but they did fall through…that was the least of his worries as they free fell from the sky, Nya managed to hold onto a tree branch before she plummeted towards the ground.

She caught Jay’s hand and held him up, while Cole formed a rock ledge beneath him and Kai…Lloyd on the other hand got it easy and just landed in a bunch of vines.

Vinny however was not so lucky…he wasn’t close to the others so he just fell…and fell and fell…hitting against tree branches as he groaned and winced in pain, before he got stuck in some vines.

“Holy fuck! Vinny are you alright!?” Cole called out from above as he stared down from the rock ledge at where Vinny fell. The others were just as worried as Nya pulled Jay onto the tree and they slowly climbed down all together.

“Yea…” was all Vinny spoke as he just laid in the vines…his left arm hurt…Kai immediately ran over to Vinny as they made it to the ground. He and Lloyd began tearing the vines that trapped him away.

“What the hell happened!?” A very confused and pissed off Jay spoke as he clutched his shoulder which was just hit very hard.

“You okay?” Cole asked the cameraman, he just nodded as he winced and clutched his arm.

Nya gently grabbed Vinnys’ arm and lifted up the jacket sleeve. All their clothes had cuts in them. “If you broke your arm, then so help me” The water ninja sighed, as she squeezed Vinnys’ arm causing him to wince.

“Take off your jacket…we don’t know if it’s broken, but we can make a temporary sling to somewhat help it” Lloyd spoke, Vinny nodded and took off his jacket. Lloyd carefully wrapped it around the cameramans’ neck and kept his arm in there.

“Now we have that done…” Nya spoke, “Where the fuck are we?” She questioned as she and the others looked around, trees and mountains stood tall around them as birds flew by.

Vinny couldn’t careless where they were…he wanted to know if Garmadon was safe…

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❤️❤️)

Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon)Part 58

(I suggest you check out parts 1-57 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised: Criolla_Star)

(Someone’s been blessed by motivation)

As Vinny and Enji walked in the hallways, Vinny couldn’t shake his anxiety, on one hand he wanted to do everything to protect his friends, but on the other hand he couldn’t help, but think this was also a mistake…a fork in the road each with their own problems…

“Why’d you cut Cole…?” The cameraman asked quietly, breaking the silence as they walked.

Enji chuckled, “Because I just had to be safe…I wasn’t taking risks with the chest” he replied to the cameraman arrogantly as he wrapped a arm around his neck.

“Rida said that you were finding something that belonged to him…was the chest it?” Vinny questioned once more as he tried avoiding the other mans’ touch.

“Yep, and he’s going to get his way one way or another” Enji replied as he tied up his hair using a hair tie on his wrist.

There was that awkward silence again, it was taking longer to get to the elevator mainly, because they didn’t want to risk waking anyone.

“Do you-“ Vinny was cut off as Enji pulled him into a different corridor and covered his mouth. It was clear Enji didn’t want to get caught. The cameraman stared at the other, confusion evident on his face until he heard soft footsteps.

Vinny peaked slightly and saw Lloyd going towards the kitchen, once he was far enough Enji dragged the other quickly to the gaming room. “Thanks…” the cameraman mumbled, he knew he shouldn’t be thanking him, but if Lloyd saw him and the key was missing there would clearly be some suspects.

“I take my work seriously” Enji spoke, still sounding as arrogant as ever as he pushed Vinny, pressuring him to use the elevator. The cameraman rolled his eyes before carefully putting three shurikens in the dartboard causing the TV to lift as a elevator with a scanner was revealed.

“I think there’s cameras down there…” Vinny spoke as he looked at Enji.

“I’ll deal with them” he spoke before pushing the cameraman in front of the scanner. Vinny looked at the scanner and the elevator opened.

“Ladies first~” Enji teased as he bowed and signalled for Vinny to enter the elevator. The cameraman groaned in disgust as he entered the elevator.

Emoji entered after him, and Vinny took a sharp breathe as the door closed, “No going back now…” he thought to himself as he anxiously itched his hand.

Before he could take another thought the doors opened again as they made it down. Enji walked our first, strolling in like he owned the place, Vinny hesitantly followed behind, slightly sweating due to how nervous he was.

“Where is it?” Enji asked as he looked around.

“N-not sure…I put it there before I left” Vinny replied as he pointed to the table. The other man sighed before going through drawers, cupboards and anything that you could hide a key in.

Eventually his eyes landed on a small compartment in the ground, it was a loose slab, “Bingo~” Enji spoke as he crouched in front of the slab and lifted it, there it was…the key…

“W-what about the cameras?” Vinny asked, he was terrified of being caught, who knows what they all would say about this.

“Relax~! I used my illusions to change how you look to the cameras…so everyone just thinks you’re some random accomplice of mine” Enji chuckled, “You’re so tense” he added as he cupped Vinnys’ cheeks.

“Oh…let’s go back up…” The cameraman replied, as he pulled away from the others’ touch and began walking to the elevator again.

Enji rolled his eyes before grabbing the enchanted mirror from his pocket and grabbed Vinny closer, before throwing the mirror in the air. The cameraman helped slightly and saw the mirror came back down, it expanded and closed around them, he shut his eyes tight quite literally wondering what the fuck is happening.

Vinny opened his eyes and looked around, they were in this room? More so a tunnel…different mirrors, tall, long, short, small, all types of mirrors.

The cameraman hunched over once Enji let him go, he felt a wave of nausea wash over him, whatever that was, messed with Vinny.

“W-Where are we?” Vinny asked the other man through heavy breathes as he looked around the purplish, blue tunnel.

“I don’t even know what it’s called…but it’s how I get around” Enji replied as he dragged Vinny down the tunnel.

“If you just used the mirror, why couldn’t you use it to get down here?” Vinny questioned, annoyance evident as he was dragged by the other.

“Because there’s barely any mirrors there…and any in the vehicles are covered” Enji replied before he threw Vinny through a mirror, one identical to the one in he bedroom.

The cameraman yelped as he was thrown through, expecting an impact he shielded his face. He wasn’t greeted by the cold mirror glass, but instead the floor.

Vinny winced as he sat up on the ground, a hand on his head due to the impact. It wasn’t a hard impact, but it still stung. He looked back at the mirror and groaned as he saw Enji smiling at him devilishly as he waved.

“See you buddy!” He spoke to the cameraman.

“W-wait!” Vinny called out, he had a question about the mirrors, Enji groaned as he heard the others’ voice and reluctantly stuck his head out of the mirror.

“What?” Enji asked, clearly wanting to go to bed right now.

Vinny got up and rushed to the bedside table grabbing the mirror shard that Rida had accidentally left behind the previous day. “What’s this?” He questioned.

Enji took it from Vinnys’ hand and observed it, “A shard like my mirror…this one doesn’t word properly though and it’s old, I used it one time and I fell from the sky” Enji replied as he handed it back.

“You’re not gonna keep it or anything?” Vinny asked as he took it back.

“Rida would’ve came back for it already if he thought it was important and I quite frankly have had my share of bad experiences from that” Enji replied before retreating further into the mirror.

“Alright then…you can go” Vinny mumbled.

“Bye buddy~!” Enji said happily as he tugged on Vinnys’ hair pulling him to the ground before disappearing all together.

The cameraman groaned and winced in pain as he put his hand on his head, “Asshole…” he spoke out loud, just in case so Enji could hear.

He sat back on his bed, putting the shard on the bedside table. He could only hope no one would find anything suspicious about himself.

He was lost in thought before being snapped out by a soft knock, Vinny immediately got up about to open the door, before stopping. He should wait a little before opening it…whoever’s there won’t know he was awake…He also messed up his hair a bit more.

The cameraman waited at the door for a moment, two more knocks heard, he opened the door as he heard the third knock, he stared at the person who knocked with a fake drowsy expression.

Garmadon…great…just what he needed…

Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon)Part 81

(I suggest you check out parts 1-80 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

The walk back to the palace was just as quiet as to the markets, Vinny tried to ignore the stinging from the cut on his arm while Shancai showed no emotion. “Hey…can I ask you something?” The cameraman eventually spoke up, breaking the silence.

“Go ahead” The prince answered as they continued to walk along the path.

“It’s about you and Enji…” Vinny confessed, “He acts…different around you, I’ve seen how he acts with Rida and last time when he attacked my friends, he flirted with Cole once from what I was told, but with you he’s more persistent” the cameraman continued, causing Shancai to let out a shaky sigh as his spear disappeared.

“I’ve known Enji for years, longer than Rida, he tends to be more playful with me to mess with me” The prince answered, there was slight truth in his words.

“When did you two meet?” Vinny hesitantly asked.

“I was 10” The prince answered.

“How old are you now?” The cameraman questioned once more.

“Me and Willow turned 25 four months ago” Shancai replied, as they walked out the stairs of the palace.

“Wait, you just turned 25?” Vinny asked surprisingly as they entered the palace, he received a nod from the prince. “Geez! I’m older! I turn 26 in three months!” He added.

“You’re 26?” Shancai asked, “I thought you were younger” the prince added, causing Vinny to laugh out.

“I wish!” The cameraman laughed, before the silence returned. The silence didn’t matter as they exited through a different door into the training area, Vinny seemed confused, but it was short-lived as Shancai pulled out this small box, a first aid box.

The prince signalled for Vinny to sit down on the wooden platform which was elevated from the training grounds. The cameraman sat down and watched Shancai sit next to him. “Tell me if I hurt you” the prince spoke, as he began undoing the makeshift bandage around Vinnys’ cut arm.

The cameraman held back a wince of pain as the fabric was pulled away from his bloody arm. He hesitantly stared at the cut and grimaced at the sight, it was a clean cut, he’ll give Enji that, he had good ass aim. “Is it…bad?” Vinny spoke up, as he noticed the prince staring at the cut, his expression unreadable.

“It won’t need stitches” Shancai answered, causing the cameraman to let out a soft sigh of relief, he still had the stitches on his hand, he should ask the prince about it later. “It’s not far off from a normal cut from a kitchen knife and it didn’t cut a muscle or vein, a normal bandage is fine” the prince added as he grabbed a few things from the first aid kit.

“It’ll heal fine?” Vinny questioned.

“Might leave a small mark, I’m gonna wrap it up, and you can go shower, I’ll wrap it again after” Shancai answered, receiving a soft nod from the cameraman.

The prince disinfected he wound, causing Vinny to jerk away and hiss in pain, “My apologise” The prince spoke, as he grew more cautious.

“I-it’s fine” The cameraman answered, as he smiled at Shancai softly. It didn’t take long for the wound to be bandaged and the prince and Vinny both went to have a shower.

“I’ll come get you after I finish” Shancai spoke, as they went to their rooms, and Vinny nodded before entering his room and locking the door.

What a interesting day…the cameraman looked a little surprised as he noticed all his old dirty clothes, folded neatly, and seemingly as if they were never cut or torn, he also noticed that they seemed to be there since yesterday, he really needed to start paying attention.

Vinny entered the bathroom and stripped of his clothing, he threw the makeshift cloak from Shancai on the bed before with the dagger. Man he needed to be careful, he had a broken arm and now a cut on the other arm.

The world was just out for him. The shower was quick though, nothing different, it felt like a normal shower, unlike the previous days when it felt heavenly. He occasionally let out a wince as the wound stung more. But he quickly finished up and got into white tank top and loose blue shorts before dropping on the bed.

Vinny laid there for a while, he wondered what was taking Shancai so long, then again, he did have long ass hair, so Vinny couldn’t really rush the prince. He was snapped out of his thoughts as there was a knock at the door.

The cameraman quickly got up and opened the door. Just as he thought it was Shancai. The prince was wearing his silk emerald green pajamas as of last time. “My apologies for taking so long” The prince apologised.

“Nah it’s fine” Vinny answered with a soft smile as he followed Shancai back out to the training ground. The two both sat back down, and the cameraman allowed the prince to undo the cover of the wound. It was cleaner and bleeding significantly less than before. But it still hurt so Vinny bit the inside of his cheek to hold back a wince.

There was the silence again, other than their soft breathing, crickets chirping and the wind howling, it was somewhat late at night. “Do you…ever wish you could fight?” The prince spoke up, snapping Vinny out of his thoughts.

“I guess…” the cameraman answered, “I wish I could protect myself, protect my friends…” he confessed as he watched Shancai let go of his now bandaged arm. The bandage was revealed by the tank top, but Vinny would be sure to cover it around others.

“Then you and I are alike…I taught myself how to fight to protect myself, my family and my kingdom” the prince confessed as they both stared at the training course.

“You taught yourself?” Vinny asked, receiving a soft nod from the prince. “It was worth it, you’re amazing…” he added, causing Shancais’ expression to softened as he seemed surprised by the compliment.

“You have potential…” the prince spoke, “You have a desire to watch the ones who hurt you suffer…” he added reluctantly, causing Vinnys’ eyes to widen and his breath hitch.

“I…I do, I’ll admit it…” The cameraman confessed as he looked away.

“Don’t be ashamed of it” Shancai spoke comfortingly, “Everyone wishes the same, I do as well, it’s natural for all” he added.

“Hey…” Vinny began, catching the princes’ attention, “Would it be alright, if you were to…train me of some sorts?” He continued.

“That was what I was insisting” Shancai spoke.

“I know” The cameraman chuckled as he smiled softly, “But that wasn’t a yes” he teased.

“Very well” the prince sighed, as he rolled his eyes playfully.

“It doesn’t have to be anything too much, just basic stuff” Vinny added.

“Nonsense” Shancai answered, “I am mentoring you so I’m teaching you everything I know” the prince continued, as he stood up, which Vinny did the same.

“Sure thing, if you expect me to do backflips and stuff, I’ll sadly shut that down” The cameraman laughed out, as they entered the palace again.

“Whatever you say” Shancai answered.

“How’s your stomach? Enji kicked quite hard” Vinny questioned.

“Should be fine” the prince answered quickly.

“Sure thing” The cameraman answered, “Where’s the kitchen?” He asked, Shancai cocked his head to the side, before pointing to a direction. Vinny smiled smugly before grabbing the princes’ hand and beginning to drag him that direction.

“What are you doing?” Shancai questioned curiously.

“We’re getting you and ice pack” The cameraman answered, causing the prince to sigh.

“I don’t need one” Shancai spoke, only to be ignored by Vinny as they continued to walk that way. As they made it to the kitchen the cameraman shoved the prince down on chair.

“Unbutton your shirt or something, I need to put this on” The cameraman spoke, in a tone that could not be argued, as Shancai unbuttoned and took off his shirt, placing it to the side. Vinny grabbed an ice pack from the freezer and a paper towel before wrapping the ice pack in it.

The cameraman sat on a chair next to the prince and pressed the wrapped ice pack against it. “Fucking hell…it’s bruising already, at least you had your armour on” Vinny spoke, as he stared at the swelling abdomen.

“Now think if he hit you” Shancai spoke, trying to make the cameraman feel less guilty about this, “You weren’t wearing armour plus you’re smaller than me, meaning it would’ve hurt you way more than me” the prince added.

“Ok ok geez I get it” Vinny chuckled as he jokingly rolled his eyes. The awkward silence was there again, as the cameraman kept the ice pack pressed against the princes’ abdomen.

“I can hold it myself” Shancai spoke up, breaking the tension.

“I know…but this makes me feel less guilty about you getting hurt” Vinny answered, receiving a understanding hum from the prince.

“We can…both agree not to tell anyone about this, right?” Shancai questioned as he looked at the cameraman.

“Oh definitely” Vinny instantly answered, “Last thing I need, is everyone even more worried about me…” he sighed out.

“Agreed…my mother would over worry about me, she dislikes me going out late on patrols” The prince confessed.

“To be honest you do go out late” Vinny answered, “Does she care when Willow goes out?” He asked.

“Yes, but Willow stays in the forest most of the time, my mother is used to her being absent, but she makes sure Willow checks in with her before she rests” Shancai answered.

“That’s nice…” The cameraman spoke.

“Speaking of Willow, she needs to go back to the forest tomorrow, she can’t leave it unguarded for so long and with Rushifa growing braver with her attempts, the forest needs someone more familiar with what it contains other than a few soldiers” Shancai answered.

“That’s a shame…she’ll say bye at least?” Vinny asked, receiving a soft nod from the prince, the silence came back as time flew by, twenty minutes had gone by and the cameraman removed the ice pack from the princes’ abdomen. “Should we bandage that up or something?” He asked.

“Yes, there should be some bandages up there” Shancai answered, as he pointed up at a cupboard. Vinny nodded and went to the cupboard, opening it and finding a box.

“This it?” The cameraman asked as he showed the box, receiving a nod from the prince. Vinny came back and sat down, opening the box. Shancai reached for the bandages, but the cameraman gently knocked his hand away. “I’m doing it” he spoke.

“Very well” The prince answered, slightly amused by Vinnys’ attitude. The cameraman unrolled the bandage roll slightly before watching as Shancai sat up, getting his back off the chair, allowing the cameraman to have clearer access to the whole abdomen.

Vinny began carefully wrapping it around the princes’ body, he still couldn’t get over how nice the vitiligo and body patterns were. “Geez you’re jacked” The cameraman chuckled softly, it wasn’t a joke Shancai did have muscles, made sense, he was pretty strong and clearly trained a lot.

“Thank you” The prince answered, he seemed surprised by the constant compliments from the cameraman. As Vinny finished wrapping the bandage around the princes’ body, he sat up properly.

“Is that good?” The cameraman asked, receiving a nod from the prince.

Shancai stood up before filling two bowls of food and putting them in the microwave. “I’m not-“ Vinny was cut off.

“If you’re not hungry then I’m not taller than you” The prince spoke.

“B-but you are taller?” The cameraman answered.

“Exactly” Shancai answered as he leaned back against the counter slowing the food to heat up.

“Okay okay, you win again” Vinny chuckled, hanging out with Shancai was nice, he was calm, relaxing, he made the cameraman feel safe, Willow, Deity and Shancai, all made him feel safe…they felt like family…

Vinny was snapped out of his thoughts as the prince handed him the bowl of food, which he took happily. “Thanks” the cameraman spoke.

“We’ve had a busy night, best we eat and rest, then in the morning we can talk about me training you” Shancai answered, as he received a nod.

The food was nice, he was able to eat, he didn’t feel as sick when he ate, he didn’t think of Rushifa as much and the human meat taste was overwhelmed by the different rush of flavours from the food he was given. It felt heavenly.

Shancai seemed to notice how much Vinny was enjoying the food, it was probably the big happy and content smile on his face. “I thought you weren’t hungry?” The prince teased.

“Oh shut up” The cameraman laughed out, “You know I was lying” he continued, as he ate more. Shancai let out a content sigh as he continued to eat.

They both finished eating eventually, Vinny had insisted on doing the dishes despite the princes’ retorts. After the cameraman finished washing the dishes Shancai put his shirt back on. “You can be very insistent at times” the prince spoke to Vinny as they began walking down the halls.

“Is that a problem?” The cameraman joked, Shancai shook his head in response, before they both made it to their rooms. “I’ll see you tomorrow” Vinny spoke to the prince.

“Try to rest up, I wake up early tomorrow” The prince spoke before opening the door, “Good night” he spoke once more, before closing the door. Vinny smiled to himself, Shancai felt like the brother he never had.

The cameraman entered his room and kicked off his shoes, before entering the bathroom and quickly brushing his teeth. He dropped on the bed, staring at the makeshift cloak with the Phoenix clasp. It was nice, he should wear that more often.

Vinny let out a soft content moan as he nuzzled the pillow and pulled the blanket over himself, before slowly drifting off.

(I wrote a lot my stars, so eat up, also Shancai and Vinny isn’t anything more than brotherly, I can feel people think that it’s a bit weird how much Vinny compliments Shancai, but it’s just that Vinny can appreciate a pretty man, Vinny loves Garmadon)
