Always and Forever (Lloyd x Female Reader)

Previously on Ninjago:

"The Great Devourer," Harumi hissed. "It was too strong." She slowly pushed Lloyd onto his back. "Too big for you and your friends." She laughed, the sound calm and soft. "Oh, Lloyd. You aren't so naïve to think no one got hurt that day, did you? After all, your own fiancée should be proof of that."

He glared at her and got up, throwing her onto the ground.

"It wasn't until the almighty Lord Garmadon saved the day!" Harumi continued, getting back to her feet. "But he couldn't save my family." She looked at the ground, eyes sad. "It was too late. I died that day, too." She closed her eyes, remembering that fateful day.

"Rumi, you don't have to do this," (Y/N) whispered. "You can be good, like me. I, too, lost family that day, you know that."

Harumi kept her face away, and (Y/N)'s heart broke. Lloyd nodded at her, and she sighed, lifting the mask out. He summoned a ball of Energy, getting ready to shoot.

"Give me one reason not to say goodbye to it right now," he said with a hard edge to his tone.

Harumi whipped back around to face them. "I'll give you two. You want to see your father again!" Lloyd looked at the ground. She smirked, her eyes full of nothing good. "And you love (Y/N)."

Game of Masks - Part 2

(Once again, mention of blood)

The Silver Ninja arched an eyebrow, and Lloyd paused, staring at her across the gap in equal confusion. What was Harumi trying to say?

Harumi pulled out a dagger behind her back and threw it toward (Y/N). Realising the point of contact would be her heart if she didn't move, she dived to the left, and the dagger dragged across her hand instead before it fell into the void. She hissed in pain, dropping the mask as blood began to pour out of the gash on her palm.

Lloyd's eyes widened, and his heart jumped into his throat. "(Y/N)!" The Energy ball in his hand dissipated, and he headed in her direction, but Harumi jumped in front of him, another dagger in hand.

"Ah, your emotions," she mocked, and his gaze flickered to (Y/N) behind Harumi, who knelt on the ground as she clutched her wrist, trying to slow the flow of blood. "You can't get rid of them. It's hard to think, isn't it?" They circled each other, watching their opponent's movements with careful eyes. "I felt those feelings, too." She smiled at Lloyd. "We truly are kindred spirits."

With a yell, she swung the dagger at him, and he spun away. He jumped back at her, kicking her, but she blocked him with her arm. She tried to hit him with the dagger again, but he grabbed her wrist and used it to keep her at bay. He held her at arm's length and used Spinjitzu to throw her away onto the other side of the pedestal.

His eyes flickered over to (Y/N), who struggled to get to her feet, blinking her eyes to clear her daze of fuzziness because of the blood loss. She zeroed in her eyes onto the mask before she shut them again, trying to regain her senses amidst the world spinning around her.

Lloyd's gaze returned to Harumi as she got back up, letting out an evil laugh as she approached him with the dagger still in hand.

"You helped put the bug on the ship," Lloyd said, glaring at her. "You caused the crash."

"A calculated risk!" Harumi snapped. "Your friends were so close to the truth. I couldn't let them stop me."

"Feeding the poor, acting scared?" Lloyd asked, voice rising with each word. "It was all an act?"
