Hi!! I wrote this for fun and I wanna share it but have nowhere to do so! So here u go tumblr! Lmk ur thoughts and critiques!

The Dreamer

They took his wings. His hopes, his dreams. Everytime he tried, they did nothing but knock him down. And he was beautiful. His mind was beautiful. I had never seen a more beautiful mind. His head was full of stories, of creation. It’s all he ever wanted to do. To create. To share his ideas. But he couldn’t. There were too many rules. Too many ways to cross the line. He couldn’t have that. But one day, he met a girl. She had fair skin and long, shiny hair. Her eyes glistened in the sunlight, reflecting every color an eye could be. Sky blue, seafoam green, chocolate brown. God, he could stare into her eyes for eons. But there was something special else about her. Not only was she the most stunning girl he had ever seen, but she was just as creative. They both shared their ideas together, falling deeper in love. Together, they ran in the garden, spreading their dreams throughout - through the bushes, the flowers, the fruit trees. Their combined minds were the most impressive ever heard of, neverending ideas to fulfill. Then they found out. They told him to stop seeing her, but they couldn’t tell him what to do. Could they? This was the most free he’d ever felt in his life, he couldn’t just throw it all away. They said if he didn’t listen, there’d be consequences. But they say that all the time, what’s so different today? He went to find her. They could run away together. They could go far away, to another garden, and grow their dreams there. As he approached the garden, he felt a weird presence. A quiet impression was left on it. It was chilling compared to the lively atmosphere he was used to. He stopped in his steps, a rock in his throat, eyes widening. He felt like throwing up. In front of him lay her, throat slashed and blood everywhere. Her long hair stained, her eyes cloudy and dull. Her blood had spilled onto the cobblestone pavement of the garden. It was the most gruesome scene that had ever lay before him. He swallowed the rock in his throat, tears streaming down his face. He bent down and picked her up, laying her on his lap. If only he had come earlier. His tears dotted her face, rehydrating the dried blood. He tried to wipe his tears off her face, only smearing blood onto his hands. He leaned down, forehead to forehead. If you listened closely, you could almost hear him whisper “I’m sorry.” His hand was placed on her cheek as he got one last look at her, his golden and red eyes contrasting her half opened and now gray. In another universe, they would’ve had more time. But for now, he needed to find who did this and fucking kill them.

He ran into the courtyard, demanding to see everyone. He needed to know why, but deep down, he already did. All he ever wanted to do was find someone who cared as much as he did, but they just hated everything he loved. Even if it didn’t involve them, they always thought they had a say in it. Before, he dealt with it. But now? After what happened? He’d never deal with it again. Even if he was hated, he was still powerful. People needed to remember that.

As they all stood before him, they told him she was wrong for him. Too outward, too ambitious. They told him what they did was for his own good. That was enough for him. He snapped. It wasn’t fair. Why wasn’t he allowed to control his own life? What makes them think they could take her away from him? But alas, his power wasn’t nearly enough. His anger and despair clouded it, and he didn’t stand a chance against the others. It was one against all. A destined failure from the start.

They beat him. Of course they did. One man against an army? How did he ever think he could win? It never mattered how strong his emotions were; he was still young and naive. He couldn’t do it anymore. It was too hard to handle, too painful to stay there. So, he did what he thought was right.

As he watched over the sea, he thought of her. She would’ve loved the water. The deep blues and greens mixing together, the sun warming everything up. As he bit into an apple, he thought of how she used to harvest fresh fruit in the garden. As he stood against the wind, he thought of her long, shiny hair and how it used to blow in the breeze. He looked back down into the water, its waves glistening in the late afternoon sun, just as her eyes once did. No matter where he went, he thought of her. No matter what he did, he thought of her. There was no escape. So he took one last breath before he closed his eyes and fell backwards. Soon, he’d see her again. Soon they’d be together again. Together forever, with no one to bash their ideas and to take her away. In every other story, they took his wings. But today, he took his own. His back hit the water, his body submerging into it. Soon he’d be happy again. Free again. He saw her in the light, her fair skin and long hair. It’d been so long. He got closer and closer, reaching out his hand for her to take. But, just as their fingers touched, he was pulled back. He fell deep into the water, below the surface and all that's ever been known. Deep down, he knew this would happen. No matter what he did, he could never really escape them. He was destined to be alone, his ideas left on the earth. Left to rot. Just like him.

[sketchyslushies]

I heart Milo Manheim

ALSO FOR CLARIFICATION BC SEVERAL PPL HAVE ASKED ME: YES KAI IS WEARING AN EARRING NO ITS NOT A TEABAG OR PRICE TAG! /nm

It’s a charm, used in many Asian cultures to symbolize different things! For example, my family (I’m Asian duh) wear charms that fend off bad spirits when we go to gravesites. I drew Kai wearing a charm that has the Chinese symbol for fire, 火. Think of it like kou minamoto from TBHK!

[sketchyslushies]

“She was my SISTER.”

Kai snapped, his eyes glaring straight at Jay. A silence fell over the ninja, none of them really knowing what to say. They’d never admit it, but they were useless without Nya. The team had struggled to stay civil in the beginning, and the cracks were starting to reform. It was only when Nya had become a ninja when they started realizing their groups potential. Kai’s stare stayed sharp on Jay, Jay looking back with his nervous yet persistent eyes. Kai just didn’t understand. He didn’t care. He didn’t know Nya like Jay did. He didn’t love her like Jay did. No one did. The others had gone back to normal life, albeit separated. But Jay, he stayed behind. He waited for her to come back. He knew that she would.

Jay would never know this, but Kai cared about Nya more than he cared about himself. If he really thought about it, he had practically raised Nya. She was his little sister, the reason he kept going when he had lost everything else. She was his light in the dark, the reason he even became a ninja in the first place. But he was too proud to say that, too arrogant to admit it.

“You didn’t even cry at her funeral.” Jay said, his electric eyes finally looking away from Kai’s. The other ninja all glanced at each other, stuck between interfering and letting Jay and Kai settle this themselves. It had only been a year since they all last saw each other, yet you’d assume they’d never met before. Tension spread throughout the room, thick enough to cut it with a knife. “It’s like you wanted her dead.”

“Jay, that’s enough.” Cole said, stepping in front of Kai to try to stop any more discourse. Jay was even dumber than everyone thought if he was purposefully egging Kai on. “We all miss Nya, and fighting about it won’t bring her back.” Jay looked away from Cole, scoffing, but backing off. Even he knew he was going too far.

“Whatever,” he said, shoving his hands in his pockets and walking away. “I’m going back to the lighthouse, it’s not like we’re doing anything anyway.” Jay reached for the mechanical door’s button, a hot flame burning his hand. “Ow! What the hell?!” He turned around to see Kai, his aim still good as ever. “What was that for, asshole!?” Jay sneered, not noticing Kai’s obvious anger rising. He walked up to Kai, pushing Cole out of the way. His words came out in a jumbled mess. “I seriously don’t get your problem, Kai. You didn’t give a shit about her when she was alive, and you clearly don’t care now that she’s gone. You’re just upset someone’s finally pointing out the fact that you only care about yourse-“

“Do you ever just shut the fuck up?!” Red screamed, punching Blue in the face. Jay fell to the ground, unable to react quickly enough before Kai threw in a few more punches. “You have no idea,” he shouted, “no FUCKING idea how much I care about Nya! Shut your stupid ass up before you say something you don’t know anything about!” Kai’s stature towered over Jay. Sure, he was only a few inches taller, but he was stronger and Jay knew he wouldn’t be able to do much held down to the ground. The other ninja wanted to step in, but couldn’t help but feel like Jay deserved this a bit. They really did all miss Nya, they just didn’t mourn like Jay did. He just didn’t get that. Kai’s fist would meet Jay’s bloodied face just a few more times before Kai paused. Just as he was about to land another punch, he stopped himself. Something he’d never done before. Jay looked up at Kai, noticing a difference in his expression. His dark red eyes were watering. His face stuck between anger and sadness. Jay felt a droplet of water fall onto his face. Was Kai…crying? That can’t be right. Kai’s never cried before. Was there even enough water in his system to do so? The team kind of just assumed his body heat had been too hot to manage water, but never really questioned it. Jay quickly scurried away from under Kai, leaving him still stuck in a punching position. He wiped his eyes, but the tears wouldn’t stop coming. “I loved Nya more than anything in the world, Jay. I did. She was all I had for YEARS. Do you know how much it destroyed me when she left? How much it bothered me when everyone asked how YOU were doing? How YOU were handling her death? No one asked me how I was feeling with my sister dying,” he sniffled, rubbing his eyes and looking towards the ground. “I had to keep it together. If not the team, but for me. I was the face man, the cool one. A little loss wouldn’t do much to me, they said.” His voice warping in and out of a whisper and a sniffle. “I would do anything to get her back, Jay. You don’t even know how far I’d go for her.” Jay had never seen Kai like this. None of the ninja had. The fire ninja, the most dramatic of them all, looked so small in this moment. So vulnerable. His tear stained face was hardly visible to the team, yet everyone could tell exactly how he looked.

Jay stood up and stumbled towards Kai. His bruised body was staggering, struggling to keep upright. He kneeled by Kai, getting to his level. Cole and Zane carefully kept close, just in case Jay was about to get his revenge. Instead, he positioned Kai’s shoulders up to get him to sit upward. He got a really clear view of Kai’s face, his eyes and nose red, his tears smudging the dark eyeshadow he swore he didn’t have on. Jay wiped his tears away, before punching him back in the cheek. Cole practically ran up to Kai. After all, he did always have a soft spot for his firecracker. But, before he could stop Jay from hitting him again, the smaller boy pulled the bigger one into a hug. Blue’s arms wrapped around Red, a small voice muttering out a simple, “I’m sorry.”

Eyes wide open, Kai was surprised. Before he could say anything, he subconsciously tightened his grasp around the curly haired ninja, digging his face into his dark curls and letting his tears fall.

“I hate you.”
