DO NOT INTERACT IF:

Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon part 4)

(This is before Dragons Rising and so is everything else)(after crystallisation but Garmadon didn’t plant Christofern and kept him)

(Go check out 1-3 if you haven’t)(so yea I decided to continue cause I’m invested Yea…enjoy!)

The very next morning Vinny woke up to the sound of knocking it took him a moment to process his surroundings but he quickly realised it was the door. He carefully slid out of Garmadons’ grasp not wanting to wake him up and opened the door.

“Oh! Hey Lloyd”Vinny said surprisingly as he saw Lloyd standing there with Master Wu. “Hi…Vinny”Lloyd responded. “Here c’mon in you two just stay a little bit quiet Garmadon’s sleeping” Vinny said as he welcomed the two into the apartment.

The two entered the apartment and saw Garmadon on the couch fast asleep. “So what can I do for you two?”Vinny asked in a quiet tone, even though Garmadon is a heavy sleeper there’s no shame in taking extra precautions. Master Wu turned to Lloyd only to see him eyeing Christofern, Garmadons’ plant.

Master Wu let out a sigh at his nephews’ stubbornness before turning back to Vinny. “We’re here, because we wanted my brothers’ help, we need Lloyd to get better control of his oni form as he has been in a bit of a…mood I suppose…this has caused his to lash out a few times, and my brother has full control over his form” Wu said.

“I’m not in a mood…”Lloyd mumbled “and I have full control of myself!”he yelled, this didn’t go quite well as his hands had this purplish smoke emitting from it, proving the whole point.

Vinny let out a soft chuckle before turning his attention over to Garmadon who was still sleeping, but now clinging onto Vinnys’ arm. “Well I guess he could teach you, but didn’t the last time he tried teaching Lloyd how to control go horrible and didn’t even work?” Vinny questioned.

“That’s because he didn’t teach me properly, and how do you even know?” Lloyd replied his voice clearly annoyed, while Wu was staring at how calm Vinny was to being held by his brother. “Well after the defeat of the Overlord, he told me everything that happened” Vinny replied

“That is quite fascinating that he would tell you everything” Wu responded he was extremely interested in hearing the relationship between the two. “Well I guess since he came here we’ve grown closer” Vinny replied he was hiding blush on his face from the events of yesterday it was true though they really did grow closer.

“What do you think of him…?”Lloyd fully on asked with no context at all causing both Master Wu and Vinny to look at him. “W-what do you mean?”Vinny questioned. Lloyd was sitting there his arms crossed, wanting an answer.

“I wanna know what you think of my father” Lloyd repeated. Vinnys’ face turned bright red. “I-I uh..well umm..”Vinny didn’t know what to say he was a stuttering mess. “I want an answer” Lloyd said he was getting impatient. Master Wu could easily stop this but he was quite interested in knowing how Vinny thought about his brother.

Vinny was going to say something when Garmadon woke up and yawned. “Oh thank the FSM…”Vinny mumbled. Garmadon turned his attention from Vinny to his brother and son, it took him a minute to process things until he said, “Why the fuck are they here..?”

“Well Lloyd’s apparently losing control of his oni form and he needs your help to control it.”Vinny replied looking at Garmadon. Lloyd wasn’t looking at his father but the opposite direction, “I don’t need his help, I don’t have a choice it’s either that or possibly turn evil” Lloyd said started to lose his temper a bit.

Master Wu really wasn’t going to let Lloyd go about his life when he doesn’t have much control. “Brother I understand that last time you attempted to teach Lloyd how to control his oni form didn’t go as planned, but be as it may Lloyd may become corrupted if he doesn’t learn how to control it…”Wu said.

Garmadon stares at Vinny before letting out a sigh, “Very well I shall help….on one condition though”Garmadon replied. “Whatever your condition is it is accepted as we need Lloyd to control” Wu said.

“Vinny may come and stay with us that is my only condition” Garmadon replied. Vinny turned red hearing this then covered his face he was embarrassed that the only condition was for Vinny to stay with him. “Very well brother” Wu agreed, he was definitely going to allow this as he has seen the relationship between the two, on the other hand Lloyd was confused.

(ayyy hope you enjoyed this part)(Nah bro Wu knows what’s up)

Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon)Part 89

(I suggest you check out parts 1-88 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

As Vinny and Shancai walked down the halls of the palace, the cameraman couldn’t help but feel like a burden was lifted off his shoulders, he no longer felt like he carried the weight of the world.

Vinny still felt some anxiety, but knowing that Wu or Jay understood the situation and weren’t jumping to conclusions, relived him, so he could presume what the others could possible say if they found out about Enji.

“You alright?” The prince asked, snapping the cameraman out of his thoughts, as he looked up.

“Yea…” Vinny sighed in relief, “A lot better now, you were right about them being understanding” he chuckled, as he rubbed the back of his neck.

“Your other friends would understand just as much, don’t worry yourself” Shancai spoke, “We still need to figure Ridas’ plan with you…” he sighed out.

“I know…what could he possibly want from me? There’s nothing special about me, the only significant thing I’ve done is allow Ninjagos’ former warlord into my house and date him…” The cameraman confessed.

“You never mentioned that before…” the prince spoke as he cocked his head curiously.

“Ah right…” Vinny sighed, “Yea…Garmadon was kind of the city’s number one enemy because he destroyed it…not his fault though, he was bitten by this snake that corrupted him when he was young”

“That is pretty major…” Shancai spoke as they continued walking. “Was it…hard to love him?” He hesitantly asked, his voice quietening.

“A little…” the cameraman chuckled, as a somber smile formed on his face, “He was a little short tempered at times, but he’s always interested me” he confessed.

“Do you ever think of what others would think?” The prince questioned, the questions were clearly for something or well…someone…

“All the time, but who cares? The city’s fucked up and so is everyone else…i won’t let judgemental bitches criticise my life just because they don’t approve of it, there’ll always be people who don’t approve…” Vinny sighed as he looked up at Shancai.

“You don’t get uncomfortable from being judged…?” The prince asked his voice barely audible.

“I do, sometimes…but when practically everyone found out Garmadon was living with me they all gave me judgy looks and overtime I got used to it” The cameraman confessed as they made it outside, back to the training area.

“You really love him” Shancai painfully chuckled, he was clearly thinking about someone, and Vinny had a hint as to who that someone was, and Shancai clearly yearned this person.

“I do…I love him so much…” the cameraman sighed as they walked down the steps. “Well that was quicker than expected”

“Yea…” Shancai sighed as he rubbed his temples and stretched.

“What are we doing now?” Vinny asked curiously, he wanted to distance himself from their conversation before, it clearly was taking a toll on the prince. And it only seemed to confuse Vinny about Shancai and Enji, because it was obvious the prince was thinking about him. The guilt and yearning on his face was evident.

“Speed I suppose, you can’t run away from someone if you’re slow, and you couldn’t catch up with Jay” the prince spoke, slightly teasing Vinny.

“N-not my fault! Enji held me down and let Jay get away” the cameraman whined as his cheeks flushed in embarrassment.

“A few laps around here is fine?” Shancai asked, receiving a soft nod from Vinny. “I’ll run with you” he added.

“You’re like a hundred times faster than me” the cameraman joked.

“I might as well be” The prince replied as he handed Vinny his water bottle, “Don’t drink too little or too much”. The cameraman nodded and drank some water, it was good for be hydrated before a run.

“So just around here?” Vinny asked as he pointed to the area. The prince nodded in response as they stood next to each other. Shancai ran first, clearly going slow allowing the cameraman to run at the same pace.

“Breathe in from your nose and out from your mouth” the prince spoke, Vinny nodded and did what was instructed. The area they ran around wasn’t small, but wasn’t large and it was tolerable. The run wasn’t anything significant, they didn’t talk much because there wasn’t really anything to talk about.

They ran around for a good half an hour before sitting back down, the two managed to lap around the area around 8-12 times before relaxing. “That was good” Vinny chuckled as he drank water.

“How so?” Shancai asked curiously, the two were letting out soft pants, were sweating while their cheeks were slightly flushed.

“Just felt nice and relaxing, no problems to deal with at all” the cameraman answered as he smiled at the prince. “Do you ever find training relaxing?”

“Sometimes I guess…” Shancai answered as he drank as well.

“Wanna go inside?” Vinny asked as he leaned back.

“I don’t see why not, best we don’t push you so quickly” the prince answered as the both stood up, the cameraman cracking his back. The two walked back up the stairs, Vinny letting out an exasperated groan, he hated stairs.

“Do you have patrol today?” The cameraman asked as they began walking down the halls once more.

“Yes, it would be better if you stay here this time” Shancai answered, “There has been rumours of some attack” he added.

“Really? You gonna be alright? With your bruise and all you should have a break” Vinny asked, he was well aware of the princes’ abilities of self defence, but he could still be worried.

“I’ll manage, perhaps you could stay with mother? She doesn’t seems to mind your presence while working on things which is rare, she hardly allows others that’s not me or Willow there” Shancai spoke.

“Yea, hey uh…why did you say it like that?” Vinny asked, confusing the prince.

“Say what?” Shancai questioned as he cocked his head.

“Before you used to say ‘my mother’…but now you just say ‘mother’…?” The cameraman nervously confessed as he rubbed the back of his neck and looked away. There was silence for a few seconds as they both stopped walking.

“Never crossed my mind, I just stopped it and it feels right” Shancai eventually spoke up breaking the silence.

“I-it does?” Vinny asked as he looked at the prince.

“Yea, I’m sure Willow would agree…you’re welcome into our family” Shancai spoke comfortingly causing a small smile to form on the cameramans’ face.

“Thanks…” Vinny sighed in relief as they began walking again.

“If you were to ask Willow she would call you our brother” The prince spoke, “And I would call you the same” he added. The cameraman looked at the ground, he was happy hearing that.

“I’ve thought the same with all of you…I’ve kinda of regarded you as family now” Vinny chuckled out.

“We all see you as one of our own” Shancai spoke.

“That makes me feel better, thanks…for everything…” the cameraman spoke as they continued walking down the halls. “You think the travellers tea would work bringing us back here…?” He asked quietly, he really wanted to come back here all the time.

“It’s no issue, we’ll surely find another way for you to come back here, if not travellers tea then we can find something like Enjis’ mirror” Shancai spoke, as he placed his hand on Vinnys’ shoulder.

“You think whatever Rida’s up to is gonna be bad…?” The cameraman quietly asked as he leaned against the prince slightly.

“I…am uncertain of what he is doing, but I won’t, and can’t give you false hope of it being something small…” Shancai confessed.

“That’s what I wanted to hear” Vinny chuckled weakly, “Just the truth…” he sighed.

“Your room’s here, you wanna go?” Shancai asked, receiving a nod from the other.

“Yea…you need to get ready either way and I need a shower” the cameraman answered as he opened the door to his room.

“If you would like, I could possibly give you some of my old clothes, like the ones you’re wearing now…they fit you well” Shancai spoke.

“That would be amazing” Vinny sighed out, “They’re really comfy too, thanks”

“Once you’re done come to me and I’ll give them” the prince asked, receiving a nod from the cameraman. “I’ll be in my room” he added as he began walking off.

“See ya” Vinny called out before stretching and going into his room and closing the door. That was nice, the kingdom was nice, Deity, Shancai and Willow were nice. The cameraman took off his arm bracers and cloak tossing it onto the bed as he felt his back. Man he sweated a lot.

“Not doing anything else today…” he spoke to himself as he stroked a hand through his hair and sat on the bed. The cameraman took off his shirt, allowing his body to breathe for a moment. He had a feeling his muscles were gonna hurt in the morning.

The hairs on his body stood up as he shivered, a cool gust of wind hit him, it felt familiar. Not Enji familiar, but familiar. Vinny began looking around as his hand slid to the dagger in his pocket. He didn’t know why but he didn’t feel alone.

The cameraman suddenly pulled the dagger out and slammed someone against the wall, the dagger digging into the strangers’ arm. Vinnys’ eyes widened when he saw the person, not necessarily saw but recognised…a Phoenix mask…there was only one person with that mask…Rida…

(Vinny being curious about why Shancai stopped saying ‘my mother’ has gotta be the cutest thing ever cause you know he’s all happy about being accepted like this😭)

Me looking for fanfics of my crack ships:

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.

Overwhelmed (Part 15 Vinny x Garmadon)

(Go check out part 1-14 if you haven't really gives an insight also go check out my other book if you're interested in Mk x Red Son from lego monkie kid also Zane can still eat human food it's like the beginning of the series he still ate and i just kept it the same but it isnt needed)

Vinny grabbed his shirt and put it on, "Well looks like I need to wear my jacket" Vinny said staring at the hickeys that wear peeking from his shoulders, "Sorry.." Garmadon said out with a hint of guilt in his voice earning a soft kiss on his forehead and a quick affirmation from his lover. "Wanna go see if anyone's awake?' Vinny asked receiving a nod from Garmadon. The two got up before Garmadon gave Christofern a splash of water and the going out.

"Who do you think is up?" Vinny asked staring at his lover with a curious look plastered onto his face. "Mhm...probably my brother and the ice ninja" Garmadon replied, "Yea I agree, but I also think that Lloyd may be up" the smaller added, "I don't think he'll be up yet" The larger replied earning a smug smirk from Vinny, "Well if I get it right I get to kiss you" Vinny said smugly, Garmadon blushed before staring at him, "Well I certainly wouldn't mind that" the oni replied confidently before grabbing Vinnys' wrists and pinned him against the wall . Vinny turned bright red, "Well I'd like to add one more thing to this deal between us" The larger whispered into his ear. "R-really what's t-that..?" Vinny stuttered out embarrassingly, "Winner gets to do what ever they want with the loser for a day~" Garmadon whispered out seductively . "O-ok!" the smaller responded quickly hoping that he would be the one winning this bet.

"Now let's go before someone comes and sees us" Garmadon said before letting go of Vinny and starting to walk. Once Vinny recovered from the embarrassment of being pinned to the wall he quickly caught up with Garmadon. They both walked and eventually saw Wu drinking tea and Zane making breakfast probably for everyone. "Morning brother" Wu said before Garmadon done the same. The larger stared at Vinny with a smirk on his face. He lost the bet and he could only hope this went well. "I am making breakfast would you like it now or do you want to wait for the others" Zane asked as he flipped pancakes, "We can both wait just wanted to be out early" Vinny replied politely before sitting down with Garmadon.

"Did you both sleep well?" Wu asked earning a nod from Vinny but not Garmadon, "What about you brother?" Wu asked again, "Hmm? Yea I slept well" the oni responded. The four began talking about random things and eventually each ninja came one by one except Nya and Jay cause they share a bed so they come down at the same time. Lloyd was the last one to come to the kitchen and don't worry the kitchen is pretty big so they all fit. "Morning Lloyd!" Kai said out energetically, followed by the rest saying morning, "You're up later the usual sleep late?" Nya asked, Lloyd let out a soft chuckle, "I guess you could say something like that" the green ninja said before smiling at his father. "C'mon bud come take a seat" Kai said patting the chair next to him before drinking some coffee. Lloyd sat down next to kai who was sitting next to Cole. "Did ya at least sleep well?" Cole asked, "Haha yea honestly that was the best sleep i've had for a while" Lloyd replied he wasn't joking he just felt a lot better knowing that his father was happy.

Zane handed out plates of pancakes to everyone, "Oooo pancakes my favourite!" Jay said out excitedly earning a soft chuckle from Nya before starting to eat. The group began eating and talking about their plans for their day while cracking up jokes. Eventually one of the jokes made Garmadon laugh out loudly and honestly everyone stared at him surprisingly and their was this awkward silence. "Well, well, well I bet you guys didn't know the former oni warlord was capable of laughing like that!" Vinny joked sarcastically breaking the silence, relieving Garmadon of the stress and making everyone laugh, "Vinny you really did wonders to help him" Kai laughed, Kai didn't really like Garmadon but he didn't hate him he understood the feeling of being corrupted just the tournament of elements he was corrupted by the staff and almost ended up hurting Lloyd so he couldn't blame Garmadon he at least put effort on changing and honestly seemed like a pretty cool guy.

"Honestly Garmadon I would've never thought of all of us being at the same table ever since we found out Lloyd was the green ninja like forever ago" Cole chuckled with his mouth half full, "Don't talk with your mouth full you idiot" Kai said gently bonking his head, "Yea but honestly Cole has a point and I'm honestly happy we don't have to fight you again" Jay said out nervously. "Jay you sound like the most nervous wreck right now try to sound a little more confident" Nya chuckled out, "Nya is right your blood pressure increased meaning you are nervous" Zane added, "H-Hey! don't out me like that!" Jay said out embarrassingly before hiding his face. Wu and Lloyd let out a sigh at everyones' stupidity, "What they're trying to say is that we're really happy with the progress you have made since well you were brought back" Wu said. "Couldn't have said it better myself" Lloyd said.

To be honest Garmadon was a bit overwhelmed with the compliments and Vinny could tell, "Okay okay everyone, enough with the compliments Garm here seems a bit overwhelmed, he's never had so many compliments before" Vinny laughed and so did everyone the group continued eating and laughing.

They all finished and everyone had an hour before they started doing stuff so Vinny and Garmadon talked where it was all alone, "Don't think I forgot about our little deal~" Garmadon said out in a seductive voice before pushing Vinny up against the wall and kissing him, "You'll get the rest of the deal later~~" Garmadon added before kissing Vinny again and then they began making out.

Overwhelmed(Vinny x Garmadon)Part 69

(I suggest you check out parts 1-68 if you haven’t already, also my ao3 and wattpad for the chapters more organised)

As Vinny finished getting dressed he wondered if Shancai was still awake. He hesitated for a moment before leaving the room and going over to the princes’ room. The cameraman stared at the closed door before taking a deep breathe and gently knocking.

He heard some rustling from inside the room and the door opened, Shancai was awake. “Is something wrong?” The prince questioned, there was no annoyance in his voice.

“Just wanted to check if you were up…” Vinny spoke awkwardly, Shancai nodded in understanding before moving to the side offering Vinny to enter the room, “A-are you sure?” The cameraman questioned, the prince nodded. He didn’t talk much, unlike Willow they were like polar opposites, but they were both likeable.

The cameraman entered the room and looked around, it was more decorated than his room, which made sense he was in a guest room. Vinny noticed that Shancai had a shit ton of hair products, some organised while others just put on the dressing table. The prince pointed for Vinny to sit on the bed, which he did.

“Did you bathe well?” The prince questioned as he went to the dressing table and took off the bonnet, placing it to the side, he made sure to hold up his hair so it doesn’t reach the ground. Vinny pulled out the dagger and began fidgeting with it.

“Yea…it was really relaxing…how about you?” Vinny responded, as he watched the prince start to put other products on his hair, Vinny suspected that Shancai didn’t put them in before, because he had to make sure the cameraman didn’t die in the bathtub.

“It was well…do you like your hair?” Shancai questioned once more, he didn’t seem the best at conversing with others.

“Yep, it’s nice, I was gonna get a haircut later this week…but then I ended up here and it just slipped off my mind…” Vinny chuckled awkwardly, the prince nodded in acknowledgment and continued fixing his hair. “You’re hair’s really nice…” Vinny blurted out without thinking.

Shancai paused for a moment, “Thank you…” he finally spoke up, cussing Vinny to let out a shaky breathe he didn’t even know he was holding.

“Do people normally compliment your looks?” The cameraman hesitantly asked.

“Occasionally…not necessarily my body marks, but mostly my hair and eyes…” Shancai answered.

“R-right…so your body marks…not the vitiligo, the patterned ones…where are they from?” Vinny asked.

“I am…unsure, my mother said I was born with them…I’ve never really…believed it…” Shancai replied, his voice becoming quieter as he looked at his arm covered in those patterned marks.

“Should I not ask these questions? I don’t wanna press on if you’re uncomfortable…” Vinny spoke as he looked at the prince worriedly.

“You are free to do so…it’s not often I’m questioned about myself” Shancai spoke as he looked at Vinny.

“Alright…you don’t have to answer everything if you don’t want to” Vinny spoke before taking a deep breathe, “Was it…hard growing up with those marks? I don’t know much about the kingdom and it’s people…but back in Ninjago people are really judgy…”he asked.

“It was…though I had a friend, he assured me of everything…and he was the closest I’ve ever been with someone I wasn’t related to…. Shancai confessed, the cameraman looked at him curiously.

“What happened?” Vinny asked.

“He…disappeared…” Shancai sighed as his eyes flicked down to the dagger that was in the cameramans’ hand.

“Oh…” Vinny spoke, he was about to say something, but was cut off by the door opening.

“Are you seriously still awake…?” A familiar tired voice spoke as the two turned their attention to the door. Willow…wearing a shirt and shorts as she rubbed her eye from exhaustion.

“Yes I am…” Shancai spoke to Willow who blinked for a couple of seconds before turning to Vinny.

“Are you having a sleepover?” The nature elemental spoke, “I’m hurt I wasn’t invited” she added as he made a dramatic pose, Shancai rubbed his temple while Vinny chuckled.

“We’re not…we were just talking” The cameraman spoke to Willow.

“We should have one, all three of us!” The nature elemental spoke, her exhaustion disappearing.

“I wouldn’t want to intrude and this is your brothers’ room” Vinny spoke, as he looked towards the prince who was putting his hair back in the bonnet.

“It is fine with me…as long as someone actually sleeps” Shancai spoke as he looked towards Willow who smiled sheepishly.

“I’ll sleep I swear!” Willow laughed out as she closed the door.

“Alright then” Vinny spoke as he smiled, Shancai nodded in agreement.

“Shanni! Please I am begging you can we make a blanket fort!” Willow begged her brother.

“Seriously?” Shancai sighed, the nature elemental nodded desperately.

“He wants it” Willow spoke as he pointed to Vinny who was silently laughing at the two siblings.

“Fine fine…” The prince answered, Willow immediately jumped towards the bed and grabbed the pillows and blankets.

“Help me you two” she spoke, the two nodded and did as they were told. Setting the blankets and pillows in ways that made a roof and and soft makeshift floor bed. It took around 10 minutes and then they laid in it.

“I haven’t been able to convince Shancai to do this since we were kids” Willow told Vinny as she relaxed in the blanket fort.

“That’s because it’s childish” Shancai spoke.

“Childish? This will never become childish!” Vinny laughed out, he really enjoyed their company, Willow was the perfect amount of fun and childish while Shancai was the perfect amount of mature and serious.

“See? Even he gets it!” Willow said to her brother who rolled his eyes playfully. “Admit it! You’re having fun!” She begged her brother.

“Alright…” Shancai sighed, “Maybe I am enjoying this a little bit” he added.

“A little bit?” Vinny teased as he laid on his side and stared at Shancai.

“Maybe a lot…” the prince looked at Vinny and corrected himself.

“Yes you are!” Willow laughed before she playfully ruffled her brothers’ hair, only to have her hand knocked away.

“This is the best I’ve felt in a while…” Vinny sighed as he relaxed onto his back.

“With the whole Enji thing?” Willow asked.

“Yea…you two really make me feel better…” the cameraman sighed.

“Well I knocked two birds with one stone!” Willow teased Vinny and Shancai, “You’re both so moody” she laughed.

“Yes yes…” Shancai sighed as he bit back a smile, “Now sleep…mother doesn’t like us staying up” he added.

“Correction…she doesn’t like you staying up” Willow spoke, “Me and Vinny are fine” she added.

“Yea, I slept before” the cameraman teased Shancai.

“Well if we don’t sleep then how would we be able to show Vinny around the kingdom tomorrow” The prince spoke, clearly knowing his sister well. Willow put her hand up to retort, but stayed silent.

“Fine, you win!” She laughed out as she playfully punched her brother.

“Who’s turning off the light…?” Vinny asked.

“Shanni…” Willow instantly spoke, Shancai looked at his sister, before sighing and getting up then turning off the light and laying back down.

“Now we sleep…” Willow yawned as she rolled to her side, the other two nodded and Vinny hugged a spare pillow. “Night everyone…” she added.

“Goodnight…” Shancai spoke in response.

“Night…” the cameraman yawned in response.

Silence filled the room, it was a comforting silence…the sound of the wind gently howling from outside as it entered the room and gently hit against their bodies. Willow was first to fall asleep her soft breathing, then it was Vinny and finally Shancai…

Vinny liked this…he liked this kingdom…he liked everyone he’s met here…they make him feel safe…

(MY FAVOURITE TRIO….these three are meant to be a sibling trio and I absolutely fucking love them…)
