Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon)Part 96

(I suggest you check out parts 1-95 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

The rest of the day was spent watching random people fighting, Nyssa didn’t fight though, but Vinny didn’t mind. He was scared of seeing her get hurt. Time went by painfully slow, before the cameraman fell through the ground again back into the large cell with all the other people.

Vinny quickly went to Nyssa and Tenshi, who already were together. “Dumbass” Nyssa sighed out to the cameraman, clearly talking about his actions while fighting.

“I know” Vinny whined as his cheeks flushed in embarrassment.

“You can’t expect to leave this place if you’re dead” Tenshi spoke as he sat down against the wall, Nyssa sat down next to him.

“I know I know…” the cameraman repeated as he stared out the bars of the cell walking over to it.

“What are you looking at?” Nyssa called out as she cocked her head. Tenshi was just as confused, especially when Vinny didn’t answer. The sky was a little dark, but the cameraman could see faint shimmering in the distance underneath a body.

It was reflecting, a mirror. It didn’t seem like a normal mirror. Could it be? Maybe it was a mirror like Enjis’…if it was then that was their way out. If it was a normal mirror then he was fucked. He really hoped it was that mir-

Vinny humped when he felt a hand on his shoulder, Shit! Sorry sorry” Nyssa chuckled as she stared at the cameraman who almost had a heart attack.

“You scared me…” Vinny sighed out as he rubbed his head.

“Clearly…whatcha looking at?” She questioned as she stared out of the bars.

“Just seeing if there’s a way out…” the cameraman answered, it was half a lie and half a truth, he didn’t want to give them false hope.

“Good luck with that” Nyssa sighed out.

“Is there…any chance that we would all be out of the cells one day, me, you and Tenshi?” The cameraman questioned.

“I uh…yea? Should be like after tomorrow” Nyssa answered, very clearly confused.

“Any chance we can get our tomorrow?” Vinny asked as he stared out the cell, his attention back onto the mirror shard.

“Not really…the only way we can is if you fight again and stay out of your cell, Tenshi can break the bars for himself and me” Nyssa awkwardly answered as she looked back at Tenshi on the ground, who was looking at them with curiosity.

“Good…if I fight tomorrow can you do that?” The cameraman asked, his voice eerily calm as he provided no explanation.

“I can ask Tenshi?” Nyssa answered as she cocked her head, “What’s all this for?” She eventually spoke up.

“I have a plan…it could fail, but it’s probably our only way out” Vinny answered, causing her eyes to widen.

“How? There’s no exit. And we’re in a giant pit. Not like we can climb out” Nyssa sighed out as she rubbed her head.

“I can’t explain it yet…” the cameraman spoke, “I just need you to trust me…”

“Trust is a hard thing to earn in a place like this…” she spoke, causing Vinnys’ expression to soften. “But…if you have a plan then it’s worth a shot” she chuckled out as she patted his back. The cameraman smiled at her softly.

“Can you tell Tenshi?” Vinny asked, receiving a nod from Nyssa as she patted his back once more before walking back to Tenshi, who was trying to interpret the conversation.

The cameraman didn’t bother listening to the conversation and kept staring out the cell. Squinting his eyes harder as he desperately tried confirming that it was in fact a teleportation mirror.

He still couldn’t quite tell, the sky was getting darker by the minute. Vinny groaned quietly as he held onto the bars and rested his head against them.

This plan had to work. How else would he get out? He need to get back to the kingdom. Poor Deity, being the first to notice he’s missing. He had to get back! He had to get back to his friends! He had to get back to Garmadon-

“Fuck…” he whispered to himself as he lifted his head before knocking to back down on the bars. Didn’t hurt as much as he expected.

When he lifted his head once more, his heart dropped and his breath caught in his throat. In the blanket of darkness he could make out two bright orange eyes staring not at everyone…at him…

“Rida…” Vinny spat out with pure malice as his grip tightened on the bars. He was scared of course. But angry too. This whole time he thought Rida was somewhat better than Enji…but no Rida was worse. Enji was his coverup. His scapegoat.

The cameraman grimaced as the eyes kept staring at him, teeth now bared at him. It was too dark to make out the silhouette of a body. But he knew it was Rida…

He squinted his eyes, but the bright orange eyes staring back at him slowly faded away til nothing was left…other than the vivid memory. Vinny clenched his fist in annoyance. What did he want from him? What has he done to deserve this? Why can’t be al-

The cameraman jumped when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He expected Nyssa, and it was her. “I-I uh…Tenshi wants to talk to you…he doesn’t seem happy about the plan…” Nysaa awkwardly spoke as she looked at Vinny with worry, “I calmed him down the best I could”

“Thanks…don’t get yourself into trouble for me” the cameraman answered as he smiled at her before walking off to Tenshi, who was now standing in the far corner of the cell. Vinny could feel the worried eyes of Nyssa on him and tried to ignore it the best he could.

The cameraman took a deep breath, “What’s up?” He asked, nonchalantly.

“Don’t play dumb…your plan is fucking stupid” Tenshi hissed, as quiet as he could. Vinny was gonna speak up, but was cut off. “You can’t just say you have a plan and not tell us!” He scowled.

“I know I know…” the cameraman sighed, “But please trust me” he begged.

“How!?” Tenshi asked with annoyance, “What plan is possibly so good it could get us out of here!?”

“Listen-“ he tried talking.

“You’re gonna get us all killed and you’re dragging Nyssa into this!” Tenshi hissed, “She’s young! She shouldn’t be risking herself!”

Vinny tried talking once more, but was cut off as Tenshi continued rambling. The cameraman couldn’t blame him. It was a stupid plan. And Tenshi was right…he was dragging Nyssa into this, but he wanted to get them both out of here…not just himself…

“You can’t defend yourself! Whatever plan you have will only work if you kill someone!” Tenshi hissed, it was starting to get on Vinnys’ nerves. Or maybe it was just the pent up emotions over the days. He’s had a lot happen. “If we’re seen trying to escape Rida will kill us!”

“Listen! I fucking understand! It’s a stupid plan!” The cameraman snapped, “But we’re never getting out of here if we play it safe! I don’t fucking care about Rida! He can go fuck himself and suck up his ego! And that’s something you need to do!” Vinny hissed as he pointed at Tenshi.

The cell went silent, every conversation that was happening stopped. The cameraman didn’t care, he didn’t even notice. However he did notice the surprise on Tenshis’ face. Maybe yelling at the champion was a shitty idea.

“You’ve been here for 25 years! A little risk won’t kill you! Rida clearly doesn’t want you dead!” Vinny shouted, continuing his outburst. He was so tired. “But if Rida does want to kill us! I’ll fucking kill myself, cause I’m sick of him and this place and I would give up my life just to stab him in the fucking shoulder again! But I won’t let him lay a hand on you two!”

“You’ve what?” Tenshi finally spoke up, anger was evident in his voice though he was trying to control it. Thought it was obvious that Tenshi only processed one thing that was Vinny stabbed Rida before.

The cameraman grumbled in annoyance throwing his hands in the air exasperatedly, before storming off to the other corner of the cell, bar the bars. He ignored the murmuring of the there he walked by, he left Tenshi all confused.

Vinny muttered swears to himself before sliding down on the wall till he was sat. He anxiously stroked his hand through his hair, bouncing his foot nervously. “Fuck…” he hysterically laughed out as he swung his head back onto the wall, letting out a sigh. He was mad at himself, he understood why Tenshi was mad.

The cameraman was caught off guard, by Nyssa sitting next to him. “Do you have a death wish?” She asked quietly.

“Yes…” Vinny sighed out, “What are the chances he goes along with the plan now?” He chuckled out.

“Lower…” Nyssa confessed, “You shouldn’t have yelled at him…”

“I know…just tired” Vinny answered as he smiled at her.

“You’re crazy…” she sighed out.

“Aren’t we all?” The cameraman asked, receiving a soft nod and chuckle from Nyssa.

“Hungry?” She asked, Vinny shook his head. “I’ll give you some alone time you look like you need it…I’ll try talking to Tenshi”

“Thanks…” The cameraman whispered, Nyssa smiled before walking off. What a nice day. Vinny rubbed his forehead, he had a headache. He fidgeted with the Phoenix pin of his cloak, opening and closing it. Time went by quick, soon almost everyone was asleep.

The cameraman reluctantly laid down, using the cloak as a pillow. He wasn’t cold. Vinnys’ eyes grew heavy quickly and before he knew it he was passed out, deep in sleep.

Though maybe deep in sleep wasn’t a good thing, as his eyes fluttered open and now he was in a dark room. He growled and looked around. Where was he? The cameramans’ hand slid to the dagger in his pocket, but he realised it wasn’t there.

“I knew you would do that” a familiar voice spoke, one that made Vinny boil with anger as he whipped around and saw Rida…sat on a chair, fiddling with dagger and wearing the Phoenix mask. This was familiar…just like when Rida first violated his dreams.

“Get out of my head” The cameraman scowled.

“You’re quick to catch on this time” Rida chuckled, before snapping his fingers. A chair appeared behind Vinny as he was pushed down on it. “I must say…that was entertaining to watch, you and Tenshi? No one’s ever dared to speak to him like that, besides me of course” he chuckled out.

“It was an accident” Vinny muttered, he felt guilty about that.

“Sure…didn’t you snap at Garmadon once? I must admit you have quite a temper now!” Rida laughed out sadistically as he took off his mask. Vinnys’ eyes widened as he heard that, guilt crawling up his back.

“Why am I here? Why did you trap me here?” The cameraman asked quietly, he wanted out.

“Your precious Deity didn’t tell you?” Rida asked, confusing Vinny. “Or perhaps she hasn’t realised yet…or old age caught up to her and she’s stupider than ever” he chuckled as he threw the dagger at the cameraman.

“Don’t talk about her like that” Vinny hissed as he caught the dagger, he hated how Rida spoke of Deity.

“Would you stab me again?” Rida asked, “I must say you have quite a harsh stab, you drive the dagger in like you’re eating meat…you are quite experienced in eating flesh aren’t you?” He spoke, his voice silky and sly. Vinny felt a wave of sickness hearing this, he knew what Rida was talking about…Rushifa, that snake…

“Maybe I will stab you again” the cameraman snapped back, trying to sound intimidating but the nausea made his voice sound wobbly.

“Sure…you won’t escape from here” Rida chuckled as he stood up and cupped Vinnys’ cheeks. “I’ve been wondering how this would fit you…” he spoke as he grabbed the phoenix mask and put it on Vinnys’ face. The cameraman didn’t protest, not like he could. Ridas’ grip was strong.

“Take it off…” Vinny muttered.

“Why? It fits you so well…as if you’re meant to work with me” Rida spoke as he smiled sharply at him.

“You wish” The cameraman spat as he pulled his face away and took the mask off.

“Maybe you’ll understand someday…but you won’t leave anytime soon” Rida chucked before putting the mask back on before slowly fading away. Vinnys’ eyes shut before they opened once more as his body jolted awake, he sat up, breathing heavily and looking around. He was in the cell this time and now everyone was asleep.

He couldn’t fall asleep again, Ridas’ words stayed in his mind. Cycling over and over again as he stared out at the night sky.

(I haven’t uploaded in a while, I’ve been so busy and have writers block. But this is a pretty big chapter hope it’s good enough)

that is why you take a break and have a long hard thinking session

Overwhelmed part 14(Vinny x Garmadon)

(might be a little spicy scene of kissing if uncomfortable skip i'll add a warning for that part also check out my new fanfic)

Surprisingly Vinny was the first one to wake up and he was surprised he usually wasn't the first one to wake up but it was usually Garmadon he got up and stretched before kissing his lovers forehead. "I should have a shower..." he thought to himself. Vinny went into the bathroom and turned on the water. It was a warm and comforting shower. ( i ain't describing another shower scene i've already described one today in a new book i made go check it out its lego monkie kid and it's Red Son x Mk)

Once Vinny finished he shut off the water and wrapped a towel around his waist before going into his room, "I'm sure I can change he won't wake up" Vinny thought to himself. Before starting to get dressed. "Mhmm..??Vinny?"Garmadon said out tiredly unaware of his lover who was naked. He stared at Vinny and the two made eye contact, "OH SHIT! Sorry sorry sorry!" Garmadon instantly said before shoving his face into a pillow. The oni was bright purple while Vinny was bright red and he quickly put his boxers and pants on. "G-Garm you can look now I'm wearing pants now" Vinny said out awkwardly.

Garmadon lifted his head from the pillow before looking at Vinny, he was still bright purple who could blame him he just saw his boyfriend naked. "S-sorry..."Garmadon stuttered out, "N-no it's my fault I shouldn't have gotten dressed in here" Vinny replied before moving closer towards his lover. "Garm? Is something wrong you seem a little purple there" Vinny asked before cupping his lovers face. "Mhm y-yea I just didn't expect you to have such a build" Garmadon replied causing Vinny to blush before he smiled at his lover before moving closer to him and kissing him.

(spoicy sceneeee) Garmadon kissed back before bringing Vinny in closer and deepening the kiss, the oni leaned back and pulled Vinny onto his lap and continued to kiss each other Vinny let out small little whimpers and he was still shirtless which Garmadon began caressing his muscles. The larger slid his one of his hands to the smallers' hair before tugging back on it gently earning a soft little gentle moan also causing him to open his mouth which gave Garmadon the perfect opportunity to slide his tongue into his mouth and began fighting for dominance it was pretty sure who would remain dominant and Garmadon pulled away and smirked, "You taste delicious my love~" the oni said out in a seductive way. Hearing this made Vinny look away embarrassingly but his cheeks were grabbed and he was the pinned onto the bed. "Keep your eyes on me~" He told Vinny, Garmadon began kissing down his lovers neck leaving hickeys all over and deep bite marks, "G-Garm~ A-ah~ Gentler..~" Vinny moaned out which the larger obviously listened to not wanting to hurt the smaller. "You look so beautiful like this~" The larger said earning a soft pant from the smaller. (End of za soicy scene)

Garmadon sat up, "You okay?" He asked the smaller, Vinny stared at him, "Yea totally ask if I wasn't just covered in hickeys by my boyfriend who was formerly Ninjagos' greatest villain" Vinny said out in a sarcastic tone before sitting up. Garmadon let out a joyed laugh he probably would've never understood sarcastic jokes before but now he did. Vinny stared at him with a happy smile on his face, "You should laugh more" the smaller told his lover before gently bringing his hand to his cheek making him look at him. Garmadon blushed before looking away embarrassingly and rested his hands on top of Vinnys' hand, "I should?" The oni asked, "Yea you should don't be afraid to show your emotions sweetheart you deserve to show your feelings and emotions you also look beautiful when you laugh or smile" Vinny replied to his lover causing him to turn a brighter purple, "Thank you...I love you so much..."Garmadon said happily. "I love you too my sweet little lion" Vinny added before pressing theirs heads together.

UPDATE

no more updates for the rest of the week really busy

A Fiery Lovestory (part 8 Red Son x Mk)

(Sorry for not posting for a while i've been busy updates won't be as frequent due to private matters) (I suggest you check out part 1-7 if you haven't already)

"M-Monkey King!" Mk stuttered out seeing his mentor in front of him staring wondering why the son of their enemy is here. "I-I can explain" Mk said, "Oh you better explain" Wukong said going closer to Mk and inspecting Red Son. "S-so you see last night I was walking around last night then I bumped into Red Son, it was raining so his fire wasn't working an he couldn't teleport away, so I let him stay here and then he had a panic attack before you came and may have harmed himself" Mk said in like 2 breathes. Wukong stared at him, "Interesting...has he harmed you?" the monkey king asked which the noodle boy shook his head.

"Have you asked him about Macaque?" Wukong asked because of course he asked about his lover dover. "Umm...yea he said he's been friends with Macaque for awhile and Macaque was in he-" Mk was cut off by Wukong grabbing him, "Macaque was in here?" The monkey king said, "Umm yea, he didn't do anything he said he came to check on Red Son" the noodle boy responded. Wukong stared at his student and let out a sigh, "How long is he going to be here?" The monkey said in defeat knowing changing MKs' is a losing game. Mk sat there for a moment, "I don't know maybe he'll leave tomorrow?" the noodle boy responded.

Wukong stared at him, "Did Macaque say....anything about me?" the mentor asked hesitantly. "Umm not that I remember?" Mk responded as he stroked his hand through Red Sons' hair. "Soooo....when I saw you earlier today was the person you like.....him?" Wukong asked pointing towards the fire demon. The noodle boy lit up with blush and nodded slightly, "Damn...." the monkey king said. "H-hey don't act like you don't like Macaque!" Mk shouted causing Red Son to move slightly. Wukong lit up with blush and his tail began wagging, "I-I do not" the mentor said defending himself making Mk stick out his tongue. "Well I gotta go....if he does anything to you I warned you" Wukong said before teleporting off.

Mk let out a sigh before turning his attention back to Red Son, he seemed so peaceful and tired of everything. Mk began thinking about when Red Son really was going to leave, he really didn't want the fire demon to leave and especially after he had a full on panic attack. Mk kissed Red Sons' head and held him close, he wasn't tired and was honestly just worried about Red Son so he stayed up till he eventually fell asleep.

It was the next day and Red Son woke up, it took him a moment to process everything and where he was but when he did he lit up with blush. He was sitting on MKs' lap wearing his clothes and it was embarrassing, but his mind went back to the events of last night and tensed up. Red Son despised the fact he allowed himself to be so weak...in front of his "enemy". The fire demon didn't even know if he could call Mk his enemy anymore, Mk was kinder to him than anyone else other than Macaque. Red Son nuzzled into the noodle boys' chest it was really comforting, "I should leave...." Red Son thought to himself. He wanted to leave so he didn't have to explain himself to Mk but he loved it here he loved how peaceful everything was....He loved Mk....

Red Son slipped off MKs' lap and took off the noodle boys' clothes which were given to him and wore his own clothes which were dry. "I should write a note..." The fire demon mumbled to himself. He rummaged through the drawers and found a paper and and pen. Red Son thought about what he might write and had a idea after many failed attempts:

Dear noodle boy Mk I am thankful for your help while I was struggling even though you didn't have to you did help me. I apologise about the clothes I may have gotten blood on. But my visit is short lived and I have to depart, I assure I am fine and did not get kidnapped or do anything and I did not take anything. Thank you again your help is much appreciated From Red Son ❤️

"Why on earth did I draw a heart...?" Red Son thought to himself before putting the note somewhere obvious. The fire demon opened the window looked back at Mk before letting out a sigh and jumping out he tied up his hair once outside while running before a flame engulfed him teleporting him into his room.

The fire demon let out a sigh and plopped onto his bed. "I missed you bed.." Red Son said to his bed as he hugged it. "Hey kid" Macaque said as he appeared from thin air. "Holy shit! Geez are you a stalker or something!? How the hell did you know I was here!" Red Son said as his hair lit on fire due to fear. Macaque let out a chuckle, "I just know you kid....now tell me....how much do you have a crush on Mk?" Macaque asked sitting down on the bed.

(Hope you enjoy! )

Overwhelmed (Vinny x Garmadon)Part 52

(I suggest you check out parts 1-51 if you haven't already also if you've seen my other post about my own characters,Deity, she hasn't been added yet, but I changed my mind, she isn't 45 and Rida lied about his age in the last chapter, their ages will be revealed in future chapters)

"S-so anyways...what does Enji want from me? He appeared one day and turned my life into living hell" Vinny spoke as he avoided eye contact with Rida, clearly a little startled from his words before. "I think I mentioned this before...but you'll find out in due time...we don't plan on hurting you as long as you don't mess with our plans" The orange eyed man spoke as he returned to his calm state.

The cameraman sighed, "What happens if I do tell someone? Does the ninja know about you two? What about Garmadon or Wu?" He asked Rida, who chuckled softly at the questions, "No no...the ninja don't know about us...and I'm not sure about the other two, they might've heard about me before but not Enji" the orange eyed man replied as he and Vinny continued to walk.

"Why wouldn't they know about Enji?" The cameraman asked as he looked at up the taller. "I have a few things written about me in scrolls" Rida spoke causing Vinny to look at him in curiosity and surprise, "Why? He asked Rida, who chuckled in response and put a finger on his lips, "There is a limit to what I can say" The orange eyed man spoke in a singsongy voice as he gave Vinny a big smile.

The cameraman now confused, whether he should or shouldn't trust Rida. On one hand he seemed kind and trustworthy, but on the other hand...if he didn't want Vinny ask anyone about his past then there clearly is something to hide. "Anyway...should we go to my apartment? I've had enough outside for one day" The cameraman asked, in which Rida nodded.

The two walked to the apartment and made it there eventually. Vinny sat down on the couch and so did Rida. "Nice place you have" The orange eyed man spoke, Vinny smiled in response, before his phone started ringing and he picked it up. "Hey Lloyd...something up?" The cameraman asked.

"Uhh yea... so me and the others and going on a mission, Pixal discovered a high energy frequency so we're all going to check that put, Pixal, my dad and uncle are both staying here in the monastery" Lloyd said over the phone, the cameraman's expression softened hearing Lloyd mention Garmadon. "Alright then...I'll see you later" Vinny spoke before hanging up the phone.

"What did he need?" Rida asked curiously as he looked at the cameraman observing his behaviour. "They're just going on a mission, found some energy frequency" Vinny replied as he fidgeted with the dagger in his pocket. Hearing this caused Rida's behaviour to change, "Energy frequency..." The orange eyed man spoke quietly as he thought.

The cameraman looked at him curiously, "Something up?" Vinny asked, noticing the change in Rida's behaviour. "Nothing...I need to go do something...I'll see you later..." The orange eyed man replied as he got up and left the house, leaving Vinny confused. "Weird...I really shouldn't trust him..." The cameraman mumbled to himself.

Vinny sighed and leaned back against the couch, before looking back down to where Rida was sitting before and noticed a shard...a shard of glass, the cameraman remembered once that Rida told him that he gave Enji a mirror shard that teleported him anywhere. "What the hell...?" The mumbled to him as he looked at the shard and noticed trees in the background.

The cameraman caressed the shard before it starting to swirl. Vinny jumped slightly and dropped the shard, he looked back down on it before picking it up again. He grabbed the dagger from his pocket and carefully attached the shard to it. the shard definitely had some significance and could maybe give some answers later on.

He relaxed slightly and stared at the roof for who knows how long before drifting off to sleep.

I SWEAR YELLOW TUSK IS THE MOST UNDERRATED CHARACTER LIKE HE'S MY FAVOURITE OUT O AZURE AND PENG ,HE'S SO SWEET AND LIKE I UNDERSTAND WHY HE DIDN'T WANT TO BETRAY AZURE HE WAS THE REASON HE WAS OUT OF THE SCROLL AND WE HAVE ALL SEEN WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMEONE "BETRAYS" TH BROTHERHOOD

i've heard multiple people talking about how lego should change Ninjagos' artstyle into monkie kids' artstyle and i honestly don't agree, I'll tell you why. Ninjago has been around for over a decade and has been apart of so many childhoods while Monkie kid has been around for a few years and honestly i love Monkie Kids' artstyle it's fun and creative though you can't expect Lego to change the style of a show that has been around for way way longer

Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon)Part 79

(I suggest you check out parts 1-78 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

The walk to the markets wasn’t anything extraordinary, the two didn’t talk much, Shancai just led Vinny to the markets silently. The cameraman didn’t mind either he was still embarrassed about what happened before and was a little giddy, the kiss reassured him a lot.

Vinny was drawn out of his thoughts, when he accidentally bumped into Shancai who stopped walking. “Sorry” the cameraman apologised as he looked up at the prince, he was just given a reassuring nod.

“We’re here” Shancai spoke, causing Vinny to look out in front, he must’ve been lost in thought to not have noticed the conversations, smell of food and bright lights that tainted the markets. For one thing, the cameraman realised how fucking hungry he was.

“Cool” Vinny spoke, as his eyes practically shone, he seemed to really like this place.

“It is” The prince spoke, “Stay close” he added, as he entered the crowd, the cameraman following close behind. It was almost impossible not to bump into someone due to how busy it was, but it was fairly easy finding Shancai, he towered over the crowd.

As they made it through the crowd, Vinnys’ stomach grumbled, why was he hungry now of all times? Deity was right, he should’ve eaten.

His eyes widened as he smelt a sweet scent, which caught his attention as he turned towards it, he couldn’t really quite tell what it was, it looked like a donut, but not at the same time, either way it looked delicious.

Vinny was caught off guard by Shancai’s voice, “If you’re hungry we can get you something” The prince spoke, as he looked at the cameraman.

“O-oh I’m not” Vinny lied as he smiled at him softly, it felt a little rude to ask for food, Shancai just made a ‘are you serious?’ expression, not buying into the act. “Ok ok…maybe I am a little…” the cameraman confessed, “But I can eat back at the palace…I don’t have any money so-“ he was cut off.

“I’m a prince…money isn’t a problem” Shancai spoke, “And patrol here isn’t anything interesting, best you indulge in your needs” the prince sighed.

“A-are you sure?” The cameraman hesitantly asked, receiving a confirming nod.

“What do you want to eat?” Shancai asked, Vinny awkwardly pointed to that stall with the nice smell. The prince nodded and walked over there with Vinny. “How much you want?”

“O-one?” The cameraman spoke, Shancai nodded and just spoke to the stall owner and our a bunch of coins in the owners’ hand. The prince handed it to Vinny, who shyly took a bite, man it was good.

“Fuck that’s good…” The cameraman sighed, it was so warm and perfectly sweet.

“Willow likes them a lot…I don’t even know what it is” Shancai answered as they kept walking.

“I thought it was a donut at first” Vinny spoke, causing the prince to look at him curiously. “What?”

“What the fuck is a donut?” The prince asked, with genuine curiosity.

“You don’t have donuts here?” The cameraman asked surprisingly.

“I don’t think so, I’ve never heard it before” Shancai spoke, as he turned his head curiously.

“I feel like it would be too sweet for you, it’s like a deep fried pastry” Vinny answered, as he happily bit the food.

“Strange” The prince spoke, there was an awkward silence for a while, before Vinny slowly noticed stares, it wasn’t too him, but to Shancai, this must be what Willow meant about people not liking his appearance. Shancai seemed unfazed or used to this.

“People don’t like you?” The cameraman hesitantly asked.

“They don’t like how I look, or the fact I don’t do magic” The prince bluntly answered, receiving a soft nod from Vinny. The awkward silence appeared again, only laughter and conversations from others around them was heard. “Can we stop somewhere?” The prince asked.

“We can go anywhere you like, I’m just tagging along” The cameraman answered, Shancai nodded and continued walking till they went down an alley sort of way, it was more secluded and quieter. “Where we going?” Vinny spoke up.

“I need to give some people stuff” Shancai spoke, as they entered a darker area, it wasn’t as nice as the upper kingdoms, probably the slums. Four kids ran out and hugged Shancais’ legs. “Hello to you too” the prince sighed, he couldn’t hide the happiness in his voice.

“Who’s this?” A young boy, with short messy hair and a missing tooth spoke, as he pointed to Vinny.

“He’s a guest at the palace, him and his friends accidentally ended up here” Shancai answered.

“What’s your name?” A young girl with curly brown hair and dark skin asked Vinny, she seemed shy.

“I’m Vinny” the cameraman answered, his expression and voice softening as he smiled softly.

“Where’s your parents?” Shancai asked, the kids pointed to a house. “I’ll be back” the prince spoke to Vinny who nodded and watched Shancai walk off to the house.

“You’re pretty” a girl with green eyes and black hair said to Vinny, the cameraman seemed surprised by this compliment.

“T-thank you?” Vinny spoke awkwardly.

“Are you friends with Shanni?” A different boy with blonde hair and blue eyes asked.

“I-I think? Maybe?” The cameraman answered, the kids were about to ask another question before Shancai came back.

“Are you leaving already?” The girl with black hair whined.

“The market’s are extra busy today, who knows what’ll happen” The prince spoke, before giving the kids some coins. “I’ll come back soon I swear”

“You’ll bring him too?” The blonde boy asked as he pointed to Vinny.

“Maybe, I need to get him home first” Shancai spoke, before standing up straight, Vinny was trying to process what was happening. “Let’s go” he spoke to Vinny, receiving a nod.

The two began to walk off, the kids waving bye. “Who are they?” The cameraman questioned the prince, the moment they were out of hearing range.

“Just some kids, they live in a poorer area, I try my best to give what I can” Shancai answered.

“That’s nice of you” Vinny spoke, “They like you a lot” the cameraman added.

“They do…they also seem to have taken a liking for you” Shancai answered.

“Yea…” Vinny sighed, it was quiet as they went back to the markets. They both sat on a rock, “What now?”

“Nothing much, just wait for something to happen, I usually walk, but best you rest your legs” The prince answered.

“It’s nice here…” Vinny confessed as he laid down on the rock.

“It is…” Shancai replied, as he watched Vinny lay down.

“Your mum’s nice…” the cameraman spoke up, catching the princes’ attention, receiving a soft hum of acknowledgment. The silence was short lived as there was a series of scream which instantly caused Vinny to sit up while the prince stood up and looked around. “What’s happening?” The cameraman questioned.

“Not sure” Shancai answered, as he summoned his spear again, “You coming?” He asked, receiving a nod from Vinny as he stood up. The two ran to the sound of the chaos, the prince groaned in annoyance as he saw a heart painted to a rock.

“What’s wrong?” Vinny asked curiously.

“It’s Enji” Shancai confessed, causing Vinnys’ heart to drop, he did not want to see Enji…at least he wasn’t alone…

“Shanni! Baby! It’s been a while since we last saw each other!” A familiar playful voice called out, catching the twos’ attention as they stared up a ledge, surely enough Enji was standing there, twirling a new dagger between his fingers. Vinny was a little curious at Enjis’ nickname for the prince, but that was the least of his worries.
