Cole: What were you thinking!?

Jay: That my best friend would appreciate my help!

Cole: No jay, that was dangerous you could have gotten yourself killed!

Cole: Well it's not like it'd be the first time! If you haven't noticed we aren't exactly in the safest profession here!

Cole: I just can't believe you'd risk your life like that!

Jay: It ended fine!

Cole: What if Lloyd hadn't been there? You would have been stabbed jay!

Jay: But you wouldn't have! Listen, Cole, I get that you're upset but if I hadn't jumped in front of you, you'd -

Cole: Jay walker, if you died because of me, I'd never forgive myself for it.

Jay: It was my choice.

Cole: It was a stupid choice.

Jay: Whatever.

Cole: Why would you do that?

Jay: Because you would have been stabbed!

Cole: No I mean, why didn't you just yell at me to duck or something? Why'd you have to put yourself in danger?

Jay: Because you're part of the team and I'm a good team player.

Cole: jay, please.

Jay: I care about you. A lot. You know that.

Cole: Of course, but you can't just sacrifice yourself every chance you get just because you care about someone.

Jay: It's more than that.

Cole: Hm.

Jay: I mean it. And it's not like I do this every chance I get.

Cole: Well it feels like you do. Whenever we're training as a group, you always jump into the action when I'm struggling.

Jay: well duh! that's what we're supposed to do. Help out where help is needed because if we don't someone's gonna get seriously injured.

Cole: You don't get it.

Jay: I guess I don't.

(very long pause)

Jay: Do you want me to leave?

Cole: No. That's the opposite of what I want.

Jay: Listen Cole, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you upset.

Cole: I'm not... I'm just... Scared. Every day I'm wondering if I'm even gonna make it to sleep in one piece, or if something's gonna happen to any of us. Like I've died technically, and so have Zane, and a lot of us have come pretty close. I know what we do is important but... it's not exactly worry-free...

Jay: I didn't know that's how you felt.

Cole : well I'm supposed to be the strong one.

Jay:That doesn't mean you can't be afraid.

Cole: Hm.

Jay: Can I ask you a question?

Cole: What.

Jay: Why me?

Cole: What?

Jay: literally all of us risk our lives like, every day. Why are you most scared of me risking mine?

Cole: I'm scared of everyone risking their lives, not just you. You just do it the most.

Jay: Pft, now that's a lie if I ever heard one. Have you even met Zane? He's died like 4 times.

Cole: well I worry about him just as much as I worry about you, the difference is that he can come back.

Jay: Still...

Cole: Can I ask you a question then?

Jay: Sure.

Cole: Why did you risk your life for me?

Jay: Honestly I have no idea, it's kinda just a natural reaction.

Cole *chuckles*: Yeah because I'm someone who definitely looks like I need protecting.

Jay: You know that's not what I meant.

Cole: Mhm. So what's the actual explanation then?

Jay: I don't want you to get hurt, duh.

Cole: See that I understand, it's the same reason I'm scared when you risk your life to protect me, but if you do that then you get hurt. Either way someone gets hurt jay.

Jay: Well I guess we'll never fix this then. It's just gonna have to be a cycle of me trying to protect you and you trying to protect me.

Cole: Yeah, sure.

Jay: Hey it's not all bad. I mean at least we're both talking about this.

Cole: Yeah, wouldn't want a repeat of what happened with you and Nya, would we?

Jay: That was different, me and Nya had communication issues and we couldn't handle it so we broke up, this is a bit easier to deal with.

Cole: I suppose.

Jay: And no, it's not easier because I cared about her more because we were dating, it's just more natural to have this conversation.

Cole*Beginning to smile*: I suppose that makes sense. So if you and Nya aren't a thing anymore who's the new crush?

Jay: How did this conversation become about my love life?

Cole: If I recall correctly, you were the one who brought it up.

Jay: uh huh, well since we're on the topic of love life how's yours going?

Cole: I think you mean repressed love life.

Jay: Mhm so who do you have a crush on?

Cole: Why should I tell you if you won't tell me your crush?

Jay: Pwease bb.

Cole*laughing and playfully pushing jay away from him*: agh no

Jay: fine. I guess you'll never know mine either.

Cole: I bet I'll figure it out eventually, you're not the most subtle.

Jay*gasping dramatically*: how dare you!

Cole*sarcastically*: Oh I'm terribly sorry.

Jay: I forgive you. And it's only a little obvious.

Cole: Ohoho, so my hunch may be correct?

Jay: Depends on who your hunch is.

Cole: hm it's someone we know

Jay: Well duh

Cole: One of us ninja

Jay: Maybe.

Cole: And maybe someone who'd rather you not get yourself killed for him?

Jay: ...maybe that too.

Cole: So does this count as a confession then?

Jay: Only if you want it to.

Cole*laughing*: jay, I'm in love with you.

Jay:what!?

Cole: I said I'm in love with you. I have been for a while.

Jay: Seriously?! Why didn't you tell me?!

Cole: It wasn't plot relevant.

Jay: Cole!

Cole: Fine fine! I didn't want to make things weird.

Jay: Oh come on we've been a group together for a hell of a long time I highly doubt a confession like that could make things weird.

Cole: Well now you know so, did it make things weird?

Jay: Hell no this is amazing

Cole*laughing*: So then are we, you know..together?

Jay*smiling and laughing as well*:I'd love that

Cole: You're still not allowed to get yourself killed trying to protect me though.

Jay: I will do my best.
