Explainations Through Experience -103-

With a groan, Wu put a hand on his forehead. "I know. But we can't risk something like that happening. The fate of Ninjago rests upon Lloyd being in top shape."

As you popped another scoop of jello into your mouth, you frowned. "He's not just a weapon. I think you forget too often that Lloyd is a person as well." You glanced at Lloyd, a pitying smile dawning your face.

"I can go out, you said I could go out at the 3 week mark, and that's now. I'm 20 for the Master's sake, I'm not a little kid anymore. I understand you just want me to be safe, but I don't think there's a situation right now where I'm in danger." Lloyd explained, trying to not be rude to Wu.

Wu sighed, standing up. "Alright. But you will be in charge of anything that happens. I'm not sticking a neck out for you this time. Misako?"

Shaking her head, she walked towards the door. "Nice seeing you son." She smiled, following Wu out the door.

The two other people at the table stared in silence, though KoKo was the first to speak up.  "Is the boss fucking your mom?"

Lloyd's face formed into a worried expression, before his head hit the table. "I fucking hope not."

Mindlessly running a hand through his damp curls, you sighed. "Come on, let's play the new board game I got. KoKo, you in?"

She nodded, grabbing the box out of the shopping bag. "Rummikub? What's a rummikub?"

Shrugging, you opened the box and looked at the long list of instructions. "Guess we'll find out."

Lloyd picked up the bag of Jokers, laughing at its goofy face. "What do they do?" He asked, pulling the instructions out of his hand.

Furring your brow, you elbowed him and snatched it back. Stepping off of the stool, you taunted him by shaking the paper.

With a roll of his eyes, he went to the living room and started darting back and forth trying to grab it. You could faintly hear KoKo rooting for you in the background.

Running around the couch, you laughed watched him start to sweat. "Wow, off your game, huh?"

About to make a snarky remark, Lloyd clipped his leg on the side of the couch. He came tumbling down, bringing you down with him.

Holding your head, you stared up at him as he loomed over you. Fuck. Think of a shitty thing to say. "Damn, how many times can you fall for me, green boy?" Too shitty..?

His face quickly flushed red, his eyes focused on your lips. Maybe not too shitty.

"Okay! Stop flirting in my living room! I'm still here!" KoKo yelled, pulling Lloyd off of you.

Scoffing, Lloyd flopped onto the couch. "Hey, I never pointed out your hickeys, should I tell Y/n about Yōko?"

Her face also flushed a light pink as her hand went to cover the mark on the back of her neck. "Y/n doesn't need to know about her!"

With a raise of your eyebrows, you sat next to Lloyd, resting your legs over his lap. "I'd love to hear about this Yōko. Who has captured the heart of the ever so fearless warrior of KoKo?" You rebuked, dramatically putting your hand over your forehead.

Holding her nosebridge, she groaned. "You guys are like two sides of the same coin. Stop being so- so- so mischievous!"

"But I love a little mischief." Lloyd pouted, obviously playing into KoKo's annoyance.

As she grabbed her keys, she laughed."I'm heading out. Have fun you two, don't do anything stupid."

As she was closing the door, you called out to her, "Have fun with Yōko!"

She stuck her middle finger through the crack in the door, before closing it.

Locking eyes with Lloyd, you stared at each other in silence, before bursting out with laughter. "Is she really seeing someone?!"

He nodded, flicking tears from his eyes. "I heard them flirting in the living room while they thought I was out with you. Yōko is definitely a catch. I see what KoKo sees in her."

"Damnnn, won't even give your girlfriend a compliment. You really are the worst. Shaking my head." You laughed, a fake pout on your lip.

Smirking he pushed you down along the couch, straddling your body between his legs. "Should I praise you? Constantly tell you how you are a goddess in my life? Explain how I would give my life up for you? Whisper my love for you?"

Your face hot, your breath held, you stared up at him. You didn't have any words to say, as he held your hair between his fingers. Bringing your hands up, you weaved your fingers through his golden curls. Pushing his head down you locked your lips into his, melting into his touch.

He laughed into the kiss, his arms locking on either side of you. Pulling away, he panted, lost for breath. Lloyd allowed himself to fall beside you, holding you close.

Pressing your forehead to his, you stared at his eyes, he beautiful eyes. Wrapping your arms around his, leaning to his ear. "I love you."

"I love you too." He mumbled, glancing to the side. "Will you tell me now?"

Tell him what- Oh. Your family. Sitting up, you leaned against the arm of the couch. "I- Yeah. I can tell you now. As long as you listen."

He kneeled on the cushion, facing you. "I'm all ears. And I'm not forcing you to, but I would like to know what happened when you were there. Feel like I kind of ruined the mood.."

With a sigh, you held onto his hands, trying to prepare yourself. "Before you left, actually- on the day of Nya's funeral, I called my mom. We talked for a bit and she helped me calm down from my anxiety attack. When you.. left.. I contacted her and moved in to her husband's penthouse. It was a nice enough home- but when my mother came home, I realized she had a son. A six year old son. A son she had with Louis -her new husband- and hid from me and my dad since I was 13."

Lloyd squeezed your hands, noticing the shaking. He kissed your knuckles, nodding to you to continue.

"I didn't bother her about it, but she and I argued during dinner about something.. I think about just how she left me, and so I ran into my room. I don't think I talked to her for.. a month or so..? Then one night I got lonely, and went on a ride outside. I met up with Skylar, and we had drinks at her place. When I came home-"

Your voice broke, and you continued shaking. It was only one time, why were you so upset? You had gotten beat up much worse. "When I came home.. she was waiting at the door, and started fighting with me. She called me immature, I called her immature for cheating on my father... and then- then.. then she slapped me."

Lloyd sighed, pulling you into his lap. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so fucking sorry. It was a mistake to leave, I made a mistake. I'm sorry."

Taking breaths, you nodded. You sobbed, but unlike before, when it felt cold, and lonely, it was warm, and someone was here for you. Lloyd was here for you.

You never needed to fix yourself. You just needed someone there for you.
