Been Thinking About Kai And Jay In Hunted Because I’m Rewatching (user Plasmara Thinking About Plasma

been thinking about kai and jay in hunted because i’m rewatching (user plasmara thinking about plasma like who’s surprised) and just realised that kai didn’t even flinch when jay called him “baby”?? not a single reaction??? which leads me to believe that this is not a one-time occurrence. no. this has happened many times before.

ergo: kai is simply used to it by now. and now i’m fully convinced they exclusively refer to each other with pet names. not even necessarily in a romantic way. they’re just Like That.

and everyone on the team is used to it by now too. no one blinks when jay’s like “you good, sweetheart?” after a fight or when kai goes “relax, babe, i’ve got this” before doing something deeply unwise. it’s just background noise now.

and U KNOW WHAT. not that anyone asked for it but fuck it yes okay breakdown of pet name usage, because i have thought about it Extensively now:

jay:

- sweetheart but this is actually used Genuinely

- baby (duh)

- cupcake — only when he’s mad. always said with a fuck-ton of attitude

- darling

- handsome AND HEAR ME OUT ON THIS ONE. only when he wants something. but kai secretly loves it and gives in to whatever he’s asking for

- snookums (but only once because kai gagged so hard he almost threw up. now he threatens him with it)

kai:

- babe — this is his default. he uses it more than his actual name

- honey THIS IS ALSO GENUINE

- dumbass (affectionate). but he also has dumbass (angry) and sometimes jay can’t tell the difference

- sparky

- hot stuff — actually he calls HIMSELF this in front of jay in the hopes that jay will say it to him one day. started as a bit but now he’s committed

- sunshine

OTP Challenge - Day 21 - Dispute

God it was so hard to choose which ship to do for this one oml

After a while, I got it to Plasma.

So plasma it is.

Jay had made a mistake. One step out of line on a duo mission ruined everything. Both him and Kai were noticed. Instead of ambushing, they were the ones being ambushed.

They were attacked and thrown out of the building. And from the door's closing alone, they could tell that the defences were increased tenfold. No way to get in now.

Kai was furious. He stood and glowered at the door for a while, silently fuming. Jay didn't attempt to talk to him. He didn't want the wrath of the fire ninja directed toward him.

After a few moments, Kai spoke. "How did they... How did they even catch us? We were basically invisible to their defences. How?-"

"I did it." Jay murmured, sitting down on the ground, with his back towards the other.

"What?"

Jay sighed, "I made a mistake. I stepped the tiniest bit out of line and they caught us."

"You made a mistake? You made a mistake?" Kai growled, "We were attacked and thrown out, ruining the stupid mission we were assigned and now we may never figure out what we wanted to find out! You sure as hell made a mistake."

"Sorry..." Jay whispered.

"We were attacked!" Kai continued, ignoring him. "Attacked and kicked out into the forest! Their walls are probably stronger now! How we going to get in?"

"I said I'm sorry."

"It's your fault!"

Jay stood and whirled around on his heel. "You think I don't know that?! I knew from the moment we were attacked that it was my fault! I knew I stepped in the wrong spot and that I should have told you I did from the moment it happened so we could escape!"

"Jay-"

"Do you know how scared I was? They could have just kept us in there instead of throwing us out! What would the team think if we didn't come back and then they try to come in here and find out we we captured, maybe dead!"

Kai looked scared. He pulled Jay in for a hug before backing up a bit. "Sorry, just got mad."

"S'okay."

"Also, Jay, you know about your eye, right?" He asked, watching Jay carefully.

"My eye? What about my-" Jay moved his hand above the eye he hadn't realized wasn't seeing anything. "My eye?!"

"Let me grab the med kit, it looks like a scratch only closed it. C'mon."

They made their trek back to their vehicles, Kai retrieving the small med kit. He began to clean off the scratch. "How did this one happen?"

"A knife I think? I dunno?"

As soon as it was all clean, Kai smiled. "Your eye should be fine."

"Good," Jay hummee, opening it slowly. Kai stared at him for a moment before laughing. "What?"

"Look at your wound, please." Kai, who always had one on him, handed him a mirror.

Jay looked at it through the mirror skeptically. "What about it?"

"Look at me."
