“ Yes!! I win again! I never lose in Mario kart!!” Jay exclaimed as loud as he could, jumping up from the couch and onto the table before stumbling, catching himself before he collapsed onto of the tv. Kai and Cole both grumbled, glaring up at the boy.

“You obviously  cheated. I saw you tinkering with your controller earlier!!” Cole retorted, pointing at the console in jay’s hand.

“ Relax, dear Cole… it’s called being a sore loser ! ” He responded before turning his head away to prevent the two from seeing his shit eating grin.

“Whatever, Jay, let’s just play again. I bet we can beat you this round,” Kai scoffed, smirking.

“Kai, what are you doing? He’s won the last three rounds. If he wins anymore, he’s just going to continue gloating-!” Cole tried to reason with the cocky fire ninja, who simply put a finger on Cole’s lips.

“Shhh, I have a plan,” Kai whispered, winking, before sliding away from Cole, who lazily rolled his eyes, slipping back to his own place, allowing Jay to take his seat back in the middle.

“Sure, I’d like to see you two lose again, it’d be nice,” Jay chuckled, his ego going through the monastery’s roof. Fine, if Jay wanted to see someone lose, he would.

“Yes, yes! One last lap and you two are goners !” Jay announced, his mischievous grin almost reaching his ears. Kai turned his gaze to Jay, shrugging his shoulders, and tossing his controller away. “Oh well, I guess it’s come to this,” Kai sighed, cupping jays cheek. “What’re you-?” Jay voiced, before Kai leaned in, Jay making a loud squeak as their lips touched. Cole turned over at first, bursting out into laughter, but quickly focused on the game.

Jays console was long forgotten at jays feet, hands on Kai’s shoulders, Kai’s on his hips, their body’s both completely twisted to face the other, while Jay put his weight completely on Cole’s side. Still, the earth ninja stayed focused. It wasn’t easy. “C’mon, so close!! Almost there…” Cole muttered, his tongue slipping out the corner of his mouth through his concentration. 

Kai smirked against Jay’s lips, gently grazing the other’s bottom lip with his teeth, Jay’s hand rubbing Kai’s neck before tangling itself in his boyfriend’s spiky brunette hair. Then—

“I WON !!!” Cole’s voice broke the tension as he stood up, cheering. Kai slowly broke the kiss, smirking. “Told ya’ we could beat you,” he whispered, revelling in the way Jay’s recently dazed eyes widened.

“You-! You cheater! You big fat stinking cheater!!!” Jay yelled, squeezing Kai’s shoulders so hard he yelped and pulled away. Cole ruffled Kai’s hair before turning to Jay.

“Sounds like someone’s being a sore loser …” Cole taunted, Jay pouting immediately. “I’m gonna get you back, Kai. I’m going to get you back good…” Jay grumbled, shooting daggers at the boy who leaned back into the couch, smugly resting his head in his arms. “I’m not too worried, bluejay, you’ll probably forget about it tomorrow,” Kai relaxed into the couch. Jay didn’t forget. Not while eating dinner, not while brushing his teeth, not while getting dressed into his pyjama’s, and definitely not while cuddling into Kai’s arms, and nuzzling into his neck

He had already started plotting.

Jay grumbled, his eyes baggy and dark. He still hadn’t forgotten about the stunt his previously loving sweet amazing boyfriend had pulled on him. Most people would simply allow their partners to do small little jokes, but they didn’t lose their winning streak in Mario kart either, so who’s to say he was going to do the right or wrong thing? 

“You awake, bluejay?” Kai groggily mumbled, eyes fluttering open, full attention on his lover. Jay nodded, head resting further into the crook of kai’s neck. What to do, what to do… he could try pull the same trick Kai did, but it’d never work. He would recognise it. Game recognises game after all… he could distract him with his totally awesome flirting? Nope, Kai was the master at it, all he would do is embarrass himself. Stupid Kai, and his stupid cockiness! He thinks he controls everything just because he does. Well, guess what, Kai? He was going to climb back up the ladder. Nobody messes with him except for…him. He had no idea how to embarrass Kai! The man practically embarrasses himself everyday when he complains over someone ruffling his hair, or ruining his eyeliner, or leaving marks on his skin-

…

Jay’s face lit up. Kai was right where he wanted him. He could barely contain his excitement. Jay pulled away slightly, bringing his hand to Kai’s hair, slowly running his fingers through it. Kai hummed in response, looking down at the other boy. “You good there, hummingbird?” Kai asked, chuckling, Jay rolling his eyes playfully at the nickname. “Yep,” he replied nonchalantly. Then, leaning underneath Kai’s chin, he kissed the sensitive skin. Kai flinched, hand instinctively going to Jay’s hair. 

“Jay-!” He yelped, gulping, his Adam’s apple bobbing. Jay continued, making sure to suck on the flesh, teeth grazing over his boyfriend’s tanned skin. He teased, his hand on Kai’s hair pulling it back just enough to allow more room. “Jay- anh..!” Kai’s face reddened, hands trembling. Jays other hand slipped down the sheets, resting on his boyfriend’s waist, slipping under and into his shirt. He pulled back for a moment, his confidence skyrocketing as soon as he saw the marks slowly start to form. He dived back in, sucking on Kai’s collarbone while relishing his quiet whines.

kai bit his lip, a single bead of sweat dripping down his forehead, breathing a sigh of relief as Jay finally pulled back, and released his hair. “What was that for?!” He complained as jays eyes slowly returned their gaze to his neck. His eyes widened. “No…” Kai quickly pulled himself up, touching his neck. “Did you-?!” 

“Boys, breakfast!” Zane called out from the kitchen. 

Jay burst into a fit of giggles. “Gotcha!” He announced proudly. “That’s for cheating in Mario Kart,” he added, standing up calmly.

”I’ll see you at breakfast, hotshot!” Jay winked, sticking out his tongue before turning away and leaving Kai sitting in bed, wondering what the hell he was going to do.
