I Am Here (Pixane) (Ninjago Valentine’s Week - Day Six)
Day Six: Favorite Canon Ship
I’ve grown to be a huge sucker for Pixane, and, honestly, MotO put me in a huge Pixane mood, so my current favorite Ninjago ship is most definitely Pixane. This one isn’t sad necessarily, more of Hurt / Comfort. Also, I have literally never written for Pixal before, so there’s the possibility that this could be wildly out of character, but I tried! Speaking of, I headcanon that Zane actually gets irritated / angry extremely easily, but he’s able to keep it in his head and then let it cool down, so that kind of plays into this. But, um, yeah! Enjoy!

(Takes place after The Fall)
It was safe to say that Pixal knew Zane better than most people, especially considering she had lived in his head for a few years.
She knew all of his doubts and fears, all of his darkest and most hidden inner thoughts. She knew about all of his quirks, all of his weird habits and strange behaviors. She knew each and every single gear, wire, or piece of Zane inside and out.
She also knew that he can have quite the temper. Especially when he’s upset.
As Zane angrily marched away from Lord Garmadon, Pixal knew immediately that she had to follow. She shot a glare at the Dark Lord for both his lack of empathy and the way he had stereotyped Zane, before retreating after him.
Zane had walked fast, far faster than she had expected, and by the time she had left the deck, she had lost him.
But, Pixal knew nearly everything about Zane, so she was nearly certain she knew where he was.
Her educated guess had proved to correct as she stepped into the ninja’s room and saw Zane sitting on Cole’s bed.
Her love’s eyes were closed, one arm propped on his knees so his head could rest in his hand, the other hand desperately clutching the black bed sheets. She stood in the doorway, observing him for a moment, before she ever so softly entered the room and closed the door.
He didn’t look up at her as she sat beside him and began to gently rub his back. A soft, pained, sigh fell from his lips, as she did so. It was then that she realized that he was crying.
“Zane,” she whispered, her fingers gracefully dancing across his back. “Are you o-”
“I am not okay, Pixal,” he snapped, remaining motionless as he spoke. “Cole is gone.”
“I am… sorry,” she said soothingly, choosing to ignore the harsh tone in his voice. “I have not spent as much time with him as you have, but I know he was a good person.”
A sob elicited from him then. “He was.”
“You know that… that I am here for you. I am here,” spoke Pixal uncertainly.
Zane took a deep breath before slowly opening his tired, sad, now tearless, eyes and gazing into hers. “I know, Pixal,” he replied. “I am sorry for lashing out at you. I just… I cannot stop thinking about him. That moment. He did not scream. He did not yell for us. He just fell.”
Pixal’s eyebrows furrowed with sadness as he spoke.
“He looked scared, Pixal,” he continued. “He looked terrified. And all I could do was watch him fall.” His eyes were filled with tears he was trying so desperately not to let fall once more.
And Pixal knew Zane. She knew him well enough to know how he was feeling, how he felt through that little he had expressed to her.
“This was not your fault, Zane,” she told him, removing her hand from his back and placing it over his hand that was now almost embedded into the bed. “There was nothing you could have done.”
“I am a nindroid, Pixal. I was built to protect those who cannot protect themselves. I have failed in protecting Cole,” argued Zane. “I just stood there and stared. I could not move. I could not think. All I could do was stand there.”
Pixal sighed, wrapping her fingers around his and squeezing gently. “You are mistaken. You just told Garmadon that you were not thinking logically, and you are not. Cole was on the ladder. You were on the ship. There is nothing you could have done to prevent this from happening,” she bluntly stated.
She made sure their eyes were locked before adding, “He is dead, but not because of you.”
That did it.
His tears began to fall as ugly sobs wracked his body. Pixal helped shift his position so they were laying across Cole’s bed, her back resting against the bed frame as Zane desperately clung to her. His head was pressed tightly against her shoulder, his hands and frame shaking.
She said nothing. She just held her love, rubbing her fingers on his palm, allowing his tears to fall onto her. A few of her own fell as well.
They stayed like that until Zane’s tears did not fall as violently, until he felt comfortable removing his face from her shoulder and allowing his head to fall there instead.
“Thank you,” he whispered to her, tilting his head upwards to kiss her cheek.
She smiled, allowing herself to slip down the frame until she was at completely laying down like Zane. She leaned in and pressed a kiss upon his lips. “I love you,” she said to him. “And I will always be here for you, my love.”

I kind of wanted that t be longer but, too late, I suppose. I’ve been working on an annotated bibliography for my AP Literature class when I realized I hadn’t written this one yet and I still have twenty minutes left of the thirteenth, but this seemed like a good place to end it!
I hope you all enjoyed, because FSM knows Zane was (well, neither was anyone else) not okay after the fall. I mean, did you see the way he just stared at the darkness afterwards? In the shot right before Kai runs to the wheel he’s just… staring. He seemed like he couldn’t move and I wish we had gotten to see the group mourning more and, well, Pixal followed Zane so hurt / comfort fluff we never got!
I agree, I love Ninjago Confidential, It was the best,
ninjago confidential made me laugh a lot 💕
That was my favorite part in season 8

Instead, it is summer, yep for me I have an Aussie Christmas, I live in Australia, I wished it snowed on Christmas. But hope you enjoy ya Christmas day! Season Greeting from Sassy Ninja 🎄😊.
No POV
Four days till Christmas Day
All the ninjas including Pixal woke up.
Pixal and Zane went to get the Christmas things when everyone was waiting for them to return. They saw Pixal bringing in their Christmas tree, and Zane behind her bringing a stack of boxes.
As he put them down, he helped Pixal put the tree up, everyone else helped put up decorations around the monetary.
When Pixal and Zane finished putting up the tree and decorating it, they saw all the ninjas finished too.
Later Nya placed her big speaker in the lounge room and began to stream so Christmas song.
Pixal decided to call Skylor if she could come and join them to celebrate Christmas (upcoming Kailor), Lloyd asked her if he can go to the never realm and asked Akita to join them too.
She told him to let the others know about going to the never realm,
When he went he got home after a few hours.
He introduced Akita to them,
"This is Akita, she hasn't visited Ninjago so this is her first time," he told them.
Pixal POV
Some reason this morning because there were five days only left to go until Christmas day,
All of us woke quite early just to get ready.
Lloyd just arrived from the never realm with Akita,
She looks nice, she was excited to come and celebrate Christmas.
Later Skylor blurted through the door which made me jump,
Kai went over and gave her a giant hug.
"Ohh, who's this?" She asked me as she pointed to Akita,
"That's Akita, it's her first time at Ninjago from the never realm," I told her.
"Well, we got a new girl for our girl gang," she told us as she plopped down next to Akita.
"It's nice to have friends around," Akita said,
We all began to tell her about the monetary and what missions we went on.
Later Akita and Skylor had to share a room for the night, they were fine with it.
Three Days till Christmas Day
This morning everyone went to the supermarket to get things for the big dinner we would be having on Christmas Eve.
We are also getting presents for our Kris Kringle we'll be having on Christmas Day,
The whole day was so busy,
I did cooking with Zane.
For some reason, I could see Zane staring at me when I was helping him cook.
When I turned and looked at him he turns his head back on to what he was doing.
We managed to do one-quarter of the feast we will be having on Christmas day, after we were done we stored the food in the fridge.
When we went to the lounge room, we saw everyone who came back from the shops sleeping.
We both decided to do the rest of the decorations outside the monastery, after that we made dinner.
Surprisingly everyone blurted into the room, they may have thought the dinner might be ready.
"Is dinner ready?" Lloyd asked us,
"You just in time," Zane told him.
"Yay!" Everyone cheered, normally everyone loved Zane's cooking.
When we served dinner everyone snarfed down their dinner, for some reason I ate so slow.
When I finished eating I realized that nearly everyone has left the dinner table, the only person who was with me was Zane.
I grabbed my plate and Zane said that he will do the night chores, I decided to wait for him.
But it was taking so long for him to do all that, I waited a whole hour, but he still didn't come out from the kitchen.
Hell, I was tired that I fell asleep on the couch, although it was getting cold, I began to shiver.
Zane POV
I was just doing the night chores in the kitchen, it took me a long time than normal.
Maybe because of how me and Pixal did dinner plus did some of the festival food for Christmas Day.
When I was finished I went to the lounge room to watch something on the TV, I normally did this when I didn't feel like going to sleep.
But when I went to the lounge room I saw Pixal asleep on the couch, she was also shivering a lot.
She must be cold I thought,
I cuddled her, her shivers stopped.
I ended up falling asleep with her on the couch.
Two Days until Christmas Day
This morning I woke up to find Pixal gone, I also felt a fluffy blanket over me.
I stretched myself and got off the couch, I went to the kitchen counter and found Pixal, Nya, Jay and Lloyd there.
Pixal and Nya were on the high chairs near the kitchen counter (pls don't think High chairs are the ones for babies, I just don't know how to say those chairs that are tall and you can make it go down and up. They also are at the kitchen counter, so yeah I can't say what they are).
Lloyd and Jay were making pancakes, they weren't bad at making them, I joined with Pixal and Nya.
"You slept in," Pixal said giggling,
"Uh, yeh," I said kind of blushing.
My eyes then went over to Jay who was going to flip over the pancake, I saw something on the handle of the pan.
That's when I realized the time yesterday Lloyd accidentally broke the handle off the pan and I decided to put some glue on it hoping it would stick.
"Uh, Jay doesn't use that it's....." I was going to finish my sentence when he was going to flip the pancake over.
Just then the handle fell off and we all heard a pop noise from the pan, the other part of the pan which contained the pancake fell on the floor with a Bang!
"Broken" I finished,
Nya began laughing,
"Well at least that didn't hit your foot," Pixal said to Jay.
"Yeh, it doesn't matter that was the last one and there was less pancake mix on it," he said.
Lloyd then brought a plate out from near the stove, a tall stack of pancakes showed,
He divided them up and placed them on plates.
Later he called out everyone for breakfast,
We all grabbed syrup, butter and other sweet stuff for our pancakes.
I saw Nya have hers with butter, syrup and some marshmallows,
Kai having his with Nutella (Nutella is a delicious chocolate spread, you got to try it),
Lloyd was having his with ice cream and chocolate sauce,
Akita was having hers with butter and syrup,
Cole was having his with Nutella and chocolate chips,
Skylor was having hers with, ice-cream and Nutella,
Pixal was having hers with just syrup,
Jay was having his with........ (#here it comes) Lotta syrup, chocolate chips, chocolate sauce, ice cream, marshmallows, candy and big dollops of Nutella.
And I had mine with butter and syrup,
During the day, Jay might have regretted having so much sugar by the fact he had a three-hour sugar rush with also a sugar crash.
"ooh, my stomach" he groaned as he clutched himself,
"Sweetie, you shouldn't have had that much sugar, that was too much," Nya said cuddling him. (that reminds me of how I was making a gingerbread house at school and we used lollies for decorations and I was half putting the house together, half eating all the lollies and I had a sugar rush and crash during the whole school day)
Me and Pixal managed to get about half of the festival dinner done for Christmas Day.
Later during the night after dinner, I spotted Kai and Skylor hanging up mistletoe around the monetary.
Is it just me or am I just staring at it for no reason,
"Well looks like the whole place would be full of them tomorrow," Pixal said as I turned to see her on the couch with me.
"Yeh, there gonna be lots of kisses wouldn't it," I said, she slightly blushed at what I said.
"I'm pretty sure tomorrow Jay might get the celebration horn at 5 am and wake us up," she told me.
"Yeh that is quite accurate," I told her, then my eyes travelled to the window, it was snowing.
"What is it?" Pixal asked me and then turned her head to see what I was looking at.
"It's snowing," I said to her,
"yeh," she said,
All of sudden, Pixal curled up on me like a kitten and pulled herself closer to me.
I immediately blushed a dark blue, she gently grabbed my hand.
Her hand felt warm and soft, I just pulled her closer to me.
She just looked up at me with a soft smile, I smiled back.
After a while, it was getting late so I got off the couch and went to bed and Pixal decided to do the night chores.
Christmas Eve
Pixal POV
As expected Jay, this morning got his horn and yelled to wake up,
"WAKE UP, IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE!!!!!" He yelled through our doors.
What was so annoying was that he also banged on the doors like crazy
That's when I heard Kai in the hallway yelling so loud at Jay to "Shut The Hell Up"
When I went to the kitchen I saw the time on the shelf, it was 5 am.
During the morning we streamed Christmas songs and some of my friends including my sister Nya sang along.
Me and Zane did all the festival food for tomorrow which was Christmas Day.
I went over to Borg Industries to go and see my father Cyrus Borg,
When I went to the floor he is normally in which was level 100.
When the doors of the elevator opened I gasped, the whole room was filled with lights, tinsel, small baubles and on the corner there was a big Christmas tree which was full of presents underneath it.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" Cyrus said,
"Yeah, it is," I said as I walked up to him.
He wheeled over to the presents underneath the tree, he grabbed some of them and checked the tags before handing them to me.
"This is for you and the ninjas," he said
"Thank you," I said as I put the presents down and ducked my hand down one of my pockets in my jacket.
"That's yours," I said as I pulled out a small present and gave it to him,
"Thank you," he said as he pulled me into a hug.
It's very nice to have a father I thought,
When we pulled away I took the presents my father gave me and walked to the monastery.
I placed the presents under the tree,
Some of the presents had a sticker on the top saying "Don't open til Xmas".
I still don't know why some people use the name Xmas instead of Christmas (me neither).
During the evening it began to snow again, I never seen it snowing for a while.
But it's hard to live when it is cold, that is why all of us wear a lot of layers of clothes including me and Zane.
During the night everyone played more Christmas songs, which made some couples dance except for me I don't know how to dance.
The whole time I sat on the couch with a fluffy blanket around me,
I looked out the window, it was still snowing,
Without anyone knowing I pulled on my coat and went outside.
I went outside the monetary and sat down on the bench behind the small tree as I looked up at the sky watching the snowfall,
For some reason when I sat here it reminded me of how I and Zane got our photo taken here.
I smiled at the memory,
Suddenly I felt an arm around me, this made me jump for a second.
I looked and saw Zane with me also looking at the sky seeing the snow,
I lean on his shoulder with my head.
I could feel a cold breeze brush against my metal skin which made me shiver,
That's when Zane took off the scarf he was wearing and wrapped it around me.
I looked up and smiled at him, he smiled back,
He gently took my hand and pressed it to his chest.
I pulled myself closer to him,
My eyes gently closed as I could feel his warmth against mine.
Zane POV
I could feel some weight on my shoulder,
When I looked down I saw Pixal asleep.
I shook her a bit to wake her up but she wouldn't,
I signed and carried her bridal style and took her inside to her room.
I decided to do the night chores tonight after the dancing party which took up until midnight,
This mainly made everyone tired after.
Christmas Day
In the morning I woke up and made breakfast,
Everyone began to come from the kitchen door at the same time at 7 am.
I noticed that Pixal wasn't with them,
"Where's Pixal?" I asked them.
"She might have slept in," Nya said,
I nodded and served them breakfast.
Later when the others were opening their presents I walked fast to Pixal's room.
I knocked on her door a few times, she didn't answer.
When I opened the door she was still asleep on her bed,
I walked to her and kneeled to see her face on the pillow.
I placed my hand on her cheek, she seemed to sink into it.
I began to think of a way to wake her up making her not annoyed.
Pixal POV
I still remembered how I fell asleep on Zane's shoulder,
Just for a second, I was sleeping peacefully, when, something was tickling my head and cheeks.
I began giggling as I woke up, I held up a hand to whoever was making my head and cheeks ticklish.
I opened my eyes to see Zane close to me,
"Good morning Pix," he said to me.
Suddenly he pulled me into a hug and kissed me on my head,
"And Merry Christmas to you," he said as he stared into my green emerald orbs.
"Same to you," I said,
I got up and wrapped the covers around me from how cold the room was.
Zane gave me a cuddle which made me warm,
Then Zane left the room for me to change into my comfy warm clothes.
When I went to the lounge room which had the Christmas tree, there were lots of presents under the tree.
I walked over to the others who were opening their presents, I checked the present that had my name on it and opened it.
There was a purple cloak inside, immediately tried it on it was very comfy and warm.
After we all opened our presents, we all headed out to the snow.
I sat on the bench, I was thinking of what I can do,
I saw Nya, Skylor and Akita going up a hill and playing with their sledge.
I saw Kai and Cole were making a snowman,
"Pixal, why don't you come and join us" Nya called out to me.
I smiled and joined them up the hill, as we all sat on the sledge.
Skylor began pushing the sledge down the hill as she joined in with us.
We all began to squeal as we all raced down the hill,
Although there was something in the way.
It was Jay, Cole, Zane, Kai and Lloyd, uh oh.
Then as we reached them, they saw us and huddled up screaming,
Then we crashed into them.
We were all on the snow,
"wow" Nya said,
"Let's..." Skylor said,
"....Do it...." Akita,
"Again," I said as I joined in their conversation.
I and my friend later went to get some hot chocolate,
We kept on talking in the monetary.
Zane POV
I was talking to my brothers with hot chocolate in the lounge room,
"are you going to do it now?" Jay suddenly asked me.
"No, not now," I said, what Jay was talking about was that I have got something to give Pixal but I need to wait for the right time.
Later we had Kris Kringle,
We had numbers on our presents,
I got number 5 and I got a tracking device that helps me to contact other ninjas.
After we had Kris Kringle, I went with Pixal to the kitchen to help me out with placing the festival food on the table.
After we were finished setting the table up, everyone came in and grabbed plates to serve themselves food.
They must have smelled the food I thought,
Me and Pixal went last to serve ourselves food.
After dinner, Pixal asked me if we could talk in her bedroom, which she wanted to talk to in private.
When I finished washing the dishes I headed to her room with her,
We both sat on her bed.
"I got something for you," she told me,
"Ok," I said, she pulled out a box with an icy blue bow on the top.
"Thank you Pix" I smiled, when I opened the box, I saw a fluffy scarf.
When I pulled it out and on the edges, it had icy blue and purple writing on it,
I peeked down at the words, then I realized it was words we said nicely to each other.
The purple ones were spoken by Pixal and the blue ones were from me,
I looked at Pixal, who was smiling at me.
"I love it," I said as I pulled her into a hug,
"Did you make this?" I asked her.
"Yeah, my dad taught me," she told me,
"I got something too," I said as I pulled out a wrapped box from my pocket.
She gently took it from my hands and opened it and smiled,
"Oh Zane I love it,"she said as she pulled me into a hug.
We stayed like that for a while,
"Come on, let's go and see the others," I told her.
She nodded and we both headed to the lounge room where everyone was.
We stopped in the entrance in the lounge room,
"Where were you two?" Kai asked us. We both blushed slightly,
"Don't think about it we were just talking about something ok?" I said not to make Kai tease us.
"Pixal why don't you come over and sit with us," Nya said as she made room.
Pixal was about to go to them when someone said,
"Hey, your missing something," Skylor said.
"What," she asked, then Skylor pointed at something above her.
I looked up too, it was Mistletoe, she looked at me blushing a dark purple along with me blushing a dark blue.
She walked up to me and I cupped her face looking deeply into her eyes,
She smiled softly at me, just as our lips connected, I couldn't help but smile.
We heard the others cheering and whistling, as we pulled away we began giggling softly while our heads were touching.
Authors Note: The was a twist, but wait there it is few questions of what you think you can answer from me so,

Comment your Answers
Hope you have a Merry Christmas 🎄
Hell I’m crying *wahhhhhhhh*
MERRY CHRISTMAS/ HAPPY HOLIDAYS GUYS!
Finally finished this. Was kind of difficult to decide what to do for Pixane. I also used Zane’s movie/ns8 hair..looks funny somehow.
(I can do this for other fanon-ships too, if there is any interest)
That is beautiful
Ninjago: Zane’s Christmas Wish
Written for: @ninjagofluffytrashbin - Merry Christmas, and here’s my Secret Santa gift for you!!
“Eggnog, anyone?”
Twinkling lights filled the room, ambient Christmas music played softly, and each member of the team was decked out in holiday spirit. It was the perfect mood for eggnog, but maybe not from Cole.
Cole, who was wearing a sparkly Santa hat, rolled his eyes at the grumbling crowd as he held two glasses of creamy drink. “I promise, straight out of the carton. I didn’t touch it up at all.”
After that remark, people began to accept drinks. Lloyd passed one to his mom and Ronin, only glancing at Dareth who was snoozing on the couch. Jay and Nya took theirs and clinked them together with a smile. Borg turned his down, but Kai and Skylor took theirs with a grin, only to quickly hide them behind their backs and sneak some brown liquid into each of theirs. Cole raised his eyebrows towards Zane, but he politely declined.
“What does eggnog taste like?” the familiar warm voice only Zane could hear asked. “I think it tastes like creamy milk,” Zane responded. “But I have never tried it. It’s very bad for my body.”
PIXAL giggled, making Zane smile. He loved that sound. “I’m sure it’s bad for their bodies too.”
It didn’t seem like it as the team all downed their eggnog quickly. Jay gagged instantly. “COLE! WHY DOES MY EGGNOG TASTE LIKE CREAMY SOUP??”
The room burst into laughter, jolting Dareth awake, but also making the room more joyful than thought possible. “Oh, you got that one?” Cole called from the kitchen.
This year was the first annual Christmas party in the new headquarters for the ninja, the Temple of Airjitzu. They could finally host a fifteen foot tree in the main floor of the temple, which was covered from head to toe with fruit-colored tinsel (one for each ninja color), multicolored lights, and ornaments of all shapes and sizes. On the top of the tree sat Master Wu’s hat, mainly in memory of his spirit, since he was still lost in time.
Zane loved Christmas because not only was the environment constantly gorgeous to look at, but all of his friends just seemed happier. It was also PIXAL’s favorite holiday because she was curious about all the traditions and wonders of the season. It was always a joy to explain some little detail of Christmas to the curious mind of his love. However, the one thing he desired most was unobtainable for him. I was only a damper on his spirit though, he did already have everything he wanted smiling at him in his head.
Jay was still spitting and gagging from his pranked drink while the room was still chuckling at his silly reaction. “I’ll go get you some water, Jay,” Nya patted his leg before walking through the doorway to the kitchen. Unfortunately, she bumped into Cole coming back out with two glasses of eggnog at the door. They both froze when their shoulders collided, both of their faces going pale.
A collected gasp rose from the room, then everyone went silent. Even Jay swallowed his disgustingly flavored spit to gawk at what just happened.
Cole and Nya stared at each other before slowly looking up at the small green plant hanging above them.
“I hate mistletoe,” both Cole and Nya said under their breath in unison.
They awkwardly looked over at the group, who were all awkwardly looking back at them. “Uh,” Cole spoke out-loud, then tried to take a step away from the doorway.
A cry rose from the party forcing Cole to freeze. “That’s the mistletoe, Cole!” Kai snickered next to Skylor. “It’s sacred! Remember when I got stuck under there with Jay?”
“Let’s not bring that up ever again,” Jay wheezed on the couch. His cheeks were crimson red.
Dareth began to dig into his pocket. “I’ve gotta get a picture of this,” he muttered. Ronin and Lloyd nodded, each with a grin.
“I love mistletoe,” PIXAL whispered to Zane. He hesitated before agreeing.
Cole and Nya slowly looked back at each other. “This is embarrassing,” she whispered.
“You’re telling me,” he whispered back. Without trying, he felt his eyes drag towards Jay.
“I’m sorry dude, but it’s the Sacred Mistletoe,” he called to Jay.
“I hate you!”
“I know.”
Dareth was getting his camera pulled up on his phone. “Crap,” Nya hissed when she saw him. Without hesitation she grabbed the front of Cole’s sweater and pulled him down into a kiss.
The room burst into cheers. Nya turned away and vanished into the kitchen. Cole dropped both the eggnogs he was holding.
“Oh, uh-“ Cole jerked away from his trance. “Still getting used to my new hands. I’ll uh, clean that up.” He backtracked into the kitchen to grab a rag and a broom.
Dareth stuffed his phone back into his pocket disappointed in missing the best photo while all the others were back to excited buzzing. Zane sat in silence with a smile, mostly because he was watching Jay try to silently hold back his resentment for Cole.
Nya stormed out of the kitchen with a cup of water; her face was still crimson. Kai gave her a quick whistle, but she had other plans. She put the water down on the table and then pulled Jay into a long passionate kiss.
“OH GROSS!” Kai gagged as he spat out his sip of eggnog. “Give me a warning before you do that!” The room was once again filled with laughter as Nya sat back down and took a quick swig of water. “Sorry about that,” Nya told Jay as she handed him the water. For a moment he stared at her without moving, his entire face now crimson red.
Finally he took the glass. “Are you sorry about the thing with Cole because it’s totally cool now,” Jay answered her. She giggled and then leaned her head on his chest. Zane could tell from her expression and the expression of Cole as he walked back in after cleaning the mess, that they both enjoyed the kiss but will never admit it.
Cole sank into the seat next to Zane. “Never use footage of that kiss, you hear?” Cole muttered into Zane’s ear.
The robot smiled sourly. “Of course.”
The black haired ninja noticed Zane’s expression. “What’s wrong buddy?”
Zane paused, his eyes glued to the mistletoe. “Nothing,” he responded, which was a lie. He could never say his desire out-loud because it was silly and impossible. “Just a thought.”
Cole nodded then took a sip of his eggnog.
“Go under the mistletoe.”
PIXAL was quiet for so long, he almost flinched when she talked. “But-“ Zane began, worried that PIXAL might of misunderstood the meaning of the mistletoe.
“Trust me. Go stand under it.”
He didn’t want to argue with his love, so he slowly stood. Nobody really acknowledged him until he came to a stop under the doorway.
“Uh,” Ronin called to the nindroid. “Who are you wanting a kiss from in this room?”
“Nobody,” Zane answered simply. “I’m curious myself why PIXAL wanted me to come stand under here.”
“Stand still for a second,” PIXAL instructed. Zane tightened his gears, but he was still confused.
“Seriously, Zane-“ Cole started, but he was interrupted with a flash of blue light coming from Zane’s eyes. One second, the doorway was empty, the next, it was filled with a blue hologram.
“Oh my,” PIXAL spoke, but instead of inside Zane’s mind, she was now being formed as a life-size holographic image using Zane’s eyes. “I seem to of run into you under the mistletoe.”
Zane was speechless. The room was quiet, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Kai and Skylor exchange a smile as they looked on.
“PIXAL, you are brilliant,” Zane grinned at his love. He reached out his hand and she instantly took it, as if she knew he was going to reach out to her. “And I love you so much.”
The female robot smiled back. “I love you as well. Now we can uphold the Sacred Mistletoe like Cole and Nya, and Jay and Kai.”
Zane laughed, followed by the room. As the holiday cheer filled the space of family and friends, PIXAL leaned over and kissed Zane, granting his only Christmas wish.
Fun fun drawing!! Its for @/raspberry_wiskey 's dtiys on instagram! (Make sure to check them out their art is super swag) 🐠‼
Pixane time baybee! Beloveds
Hell Pixal would be flustered alot if she saw that
Pixal secretly saw this and was absolutely shocked and flustered, but she's never brought it up to him
She was at a loss for words
I have been thinking about them,, again
Thinking about how guilty and ashamed Zane feels because someone took advantage of his nindroid nature to manipulate him really badly ...
... and Pixal is freaked out by her dreams and thinks she messed up because of her human emotions ...
... and how there would be some awkwardness between them after his return from the Never-Realm until they eventually manage to talk things out and comfort each other.
(I was going to write a one-shot about this but got totally carried away, so it became a long-ish, emotional story which you can find on AO3: Ending the Long Winter.)
True they take some many risks
Show writers: They're nindroids, they can take a lot.
Me: Noooo! But they have feelings!!!
(My way of coping with this: write angsty fanfic and add a last chapter that is all fluff and comfort to satisfy my emotional needs.)
That was beautiful :)
Whumptober Day 14: under pressure (crush injuries, force)
Oh shoot I haven’t hurt Zane much uhhhh *spits this out*
———————————————————
Mountains of debris lay covering Zane, a huge metal beam leaving only his left arm and head uncovered.
The rest of him was entirely pinned.
He wasn’t entirely sure his legs were even intact or not: he couldn’t feel them at all. Hopefully he wouldn’t need new ones. Zane blinked, and his eyes lit the area he was in with a soft blue light. Without them it would’ve been pitch black.
He was glad he was the one who had run into the building while it was actively collapsing. He’d gotten the little boy and his mother out, and if he had hesitated a second longer they would be in the situation he now found himself in. They’d likely be paralyzed now, or even dead, and Zane would gladly take on such a fate in order to spare others from it. With his titanium body he would be okay, as long as he wasn’t crushed beyond repair which he wasn’t as of now (he hoped).
He began wriggling his torso, attempting to remove himself from his stony prison. If he could get himself free, then he could work on digging up and out. He pushed against the metal, and a twinge of pain ran up his side. Something creaked loudly above him, dust falling atop his head. Zane stilled and the creaking stopped.
It seemed the rubble was more precarious then he thought.
His communicator crackled with static, and Zane tried to turn his head in order to fix the reception. He had trouble twisting it, but managed to pick up some faint chatter.
“...ane...ane...opy?”
Zane then twisted his arm around and lightly twiddled with the communicator, wincing as it crackled loudly in his ear.
“...lo? Zane, Zane do you copy?”
He’d recognize that voice anywhere.
“Yes Pixal I copy.” he said with a cough. “My reception is spotty, so I may be cut off.”
Pixal sighed in relief. “Oh thank goodness. Zane we thought you had been completely crushed!”
Zane looked around the small pocket he was trapped in, then back at his pinned body. “...you are actually not that far off in your assumption.”
Pixal was silent for a moment. “Are you all right?”
Zane quickly took stock of himself. His head and left arm were undamaged, and while he couldn’t move his right, it was operable. His legs though...
“I’m stuck underneath a large portion of the building, and moving seems to make the whole thing shake.”
He heard a crackle from the line, then some muted conversation.
“Zane?” That was Lloyd now. “Can you see anything from where you are? Any light?”
Zane shook his head, then remembered they couldn’t see him. “No. I’m in total darkness. It is likely I’m several feet down.”
More muted talking.
“Okay. Just sit tight and we’ll work on finding you okay?”
“Roger.”
The radio went silent, and Zane turned his head towards the ceiling of his prison. It looked like multiple support beams stacked together, with large chunks of brick and stonework filling in the gaps. It seemed so tightly packed, he was surprised it shook so much when he moved. Perhaps if he turned at a different angle...
Zane twisted his chest, pushing at the metal with his free arm. It’s working! he thought with a burst of hope. He felt looser then he had mere moments ago, and the metal-
The beam he was bracing himself on shifted abruptly, and a loud groaning sound came from above. Suddenly building material was falling on top of him, hitting his face and arm with loud smacks.
“Zane! Zane what’s going-!”
The radio cut out, and all Zane could do was let himself be buried and desperately hope he hadn’t just doomed himself.
Eventually the rubble stopped falling, but Zane barely noticed. He was dented all over, and multiple systems were damaged, or down completely. One of his eyes had been shattered, and something in his arm was sparking.
He was now completely buried, and wherever he looked, he was met with only building remains. It’s a good thing I’m not claustrophobic,he thought somewhat hysterically.
Suddenly loud crackling sounded at his ear, and voices were once again filtering in.
“...it working again! Zane! Zane are you okay?”
That was... Jay?
He coughed. “My s-systems are heavily d-damaged... I am afraid-“ he coughed again. “... afraid I may s-shut down soon.“
Worried talking filtered faintly through the radio. “Zane?”
“Pi-ixal?”
“I’m here Zane, it’ll be okay. Just keep talking, we’re coming for you.”
Right. Talking. He could do that.
“Tell me about... about your falcon?”
Zane smiled faintly. “My falcon... I have not checked in with him in a v-very long time, but I’m confident he is happy, wherever he is.”
“Good, tell me how you met him again?”
And so it went. Pixal asking him questions she mostly knew the answers to, and Zane answering them, even as he was forced to shut more and more of himself down in order to prevent greater damage.
He cut off mid-sentence at one point, due to his vocal systems acting up. He didn’t have the energy to resume.
“Zane are you still there? We’ve figured out your location, it’ll only be a little while longer.”
“...”
“...Zane? Please answer.”
“Ppppppixal...“
“Zane?”
A large spark shot from his broken eye. He thought it almost looked light sunlight.
“Initiating emergency shutdown.” he whispered. He had no other choice.
“Zane wait, I can see you!”
Shouting echoed above him, and Zane heard metal creak. Sunlight suddenly poured onto his face, bright and golden, and he heard footsteps run up.
“I’ve got you Zane.” a voice said, and he saw warm green eyes right as his own closed.
