PART EIGHT- A Clay x Macy x Kai Crossover Oneshot

Clay's POV

Ok. I've chosen.

I took a deep breath and stood up. I left the room before I could change my mind.

I hurried downstairs and entered the dining room to see all the Knights and Ninja standing there. Macy was clutching an envelope in her hands and using to fan her face whilst gnawing her lip, and Kai's eyes kept darting around. When they landed on me, he looked away almost immediately.

Huh. They were nervous after all.

I sucked in another breath, and walked slowly over to Macy. She started biting her nails as I approached.

"Macy..." I began tentatively. "It's ok. You don't have to-"

"Clay, I'm so sorry!" Macy burst out. "I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to upset you like that. I feel so guilty when I think about it. I'm sorry!"

"-Apologise..." I trailed off. "But why?" I then asked. "You don't have to be. You have the right to like Kai. It's not like I asked you out myself, or... confessed my feelings to you. You weren't cheating on me or anything like that."

"But I felt like I was," Macy protested.

"Why?"

"Because.... because...." Macy looked at Kai for support. Or maybe it was approval, I dunno.

He nodded at her. "Go on."

"Because I.... I think.... I am in love with you, Clay," Macy squeezed her eyes shut.

"Wha....?" I stared at her disbelievingly, my face slowly getting warmer. It couldn't be true. It just couldn't. If it was, then what was she doing with Kai?

Almost as if she had heard my thoughts, Macy said, "I've liked you for so long. Years, in fact. I first realised this in my second year at Knight's Academy, after we had been friends for almost a year. I guess as time passed, I got used to the feeling, and it got pushed to the back of my mind.
I felt uneasy when I hung out with Kai, for reasons I couldn't explain at the time. I realised after you saw us that it must've been my subconciousness trying to tell me that I still liked you. Kai was just a small crush I had developed. 
I understand if you don't want to, or never liked me or whatever, but... do you want to.... to go out... with me?"

Silence descended upon us I took all this in. Suddenly, a beeping broke the quiet, startling me. The noise had come from a small machine that Jay was holding. (To be honest, I had forgotten everyone else was there.)  

"Um," Jay held up the small box. It was silver, with a few buttons and a dial made out of plastic. A single antennae protruded from the top. "I just scanned Macy with this tried and tested lie detector I made. She's telling the truth."

I turned back to Macy, who was biting her nails again. She looked so fragile, vulnerable, not at all like the Macy I knew. It was like her life depended on the answer I was going to give.

But luckily for her, when I finally spoke she wouldn't be in danger of dying.  

"I do. Want to go out with you, I mean," I cleared my throat, and continued in a slightly wobbly voice. 
"I've liked you for a long time, too. Since just a little after you started liking me. That was the time when I got to know you. I mean, really know you. What sparked your determination. What made you strong, what made you want to collapse. What little, little things made you smile.
I found out exactly what sort of person you were and are. You were- and are- perfect to me- amazing in countless ways. I guess I never said anything because you were a princess, and I thought you would rather date some handsomer, nicer guy with a higher status. And I thought you might have an arranged marriage anyway.
So, yes Macy, I do want to go out with you, because I love you too. I'm so, so, so happy you chose me after all." 

Macy's POV

At first, it looked like the thick silence was going to return, but then I smiled. My smile was so huge that I thought the muscles surrounding my jaw might tear.

"My parents will be fine with me choosing you," I said. Then I shot over to Clay, threw my arms around him and lifted him up in the air. My elation seemed to make me stronger!

I hugged him so hard, I worried for a second that I might break his bones, but he just laughed, and when I finally set him down he cupped my face in his hands and kissed me.

This kiss was different from Kai's. It was deeper, more passionate, more loving. I kissed Clay back, and I hoped it channelled all I felt for the brilliant Blue Knight.

Comparing this kiss to the one in the park reminded me of Kai. I didn't know how he felt, but it probably wasn't happiness.

I gently pulled away from Clay and turned to Kai. But before I could say anything, he smiled at me.

"Macy, it's ok. I'm fine," Kai said. "Really," he added, as I must've looked pretty sceptical. "You guys belong together, and there's plenty more fish in the sea. Hey, we didn't have to use this after all," he held up the envelope, which contained the letter we had written. "The confession was more than enough."

Another beep sounded, and we all turned to Jay. "Everything Kai said was the truth. Um, just thought you might want to know."

Clay looked at Kai, and walked over to him. "Hey. Um... sorry. For... you know. And thanks. For letting me 'have' Macy," he cleared his throat again. "You seem like a good guy. And this seems a bit optimistic, but... friends?" he stuck out his hand.

To my relief, and probably Clay's too, Kai shook it and grinned. "Sure, man. Thanks. And I'm sorry for stealing her from you. If Macy likes you, you must be good."

Clay smiled at that. "Its ok." 

Lance tossed his arm around Clay. "Well... congrats! I'm kind of surprised I didn't get a girlfriend before you, but great job anyway."

The rest of the Knights and Ninja joined in the congratulating. I felt like I was on top of the world, and nothing could ever bring me down.

Then Axl announced that dinner was cold.

THE END (Of this Oneshot)

A/n: Phew! That took a long time! XD Well, I hope you enjoyed that.
My next oneshot is a request from @SoundOfDarknessPL. Hopefully it will be published soon.
If you want confirmation, Macy was only kidding when she said that the dinner being cold ruined her day. XD
P.S. If I accidentally wrote something mature, I didn't mean it. Just putting it out there.
