Never mind

Back with some Lloyd Garmadon angst

Y/n used once

I don’t think this is characterised well but whatever

—————

It had been a year since the break up.

It ended over text. A simple ‘I can’t be with you anymore’ and blocked.

You never knew why. You hoped he had his reasons.

As you wiped the table of the cafe you worked at, the bell at the top of the doorway jingled—well, as much as a long rusted bell could.

You looked up—

Oh no.

Oh no.

No, no, no, no, no.

Familiar colourful gis entered.

You knew their walks all too well.

Kai strutted in, Jay bounced on his feet, and…

Lloyd.

Lloyd walked with his back hunched and his head down. He walked with an air of profound sadness yet strength.

You ducked out of the way, catching snippets of their conversation.

“I can’t believe the Mechanic escaped again!”

“He mentioned something by ‘bout Fugidove…”

Turning to your colleague at the counter, Charlotte, you whispered, “I’ve… got to go to the restroom, I’ll be right back.”

In, like, twenty minutes.

You scurried over to the restroom as fast as you could.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t fast enough.

“Y/n?”

You recognised it.

Slowly turning around, you inhaled deeply, hoping to prepare yourself as much as you could.

“Lloyd.” You breathed.

He looked you up and down before saying, “I haven’t seen you since…”

“Since a year ago.”

The world seemed to disappear. You didn’t know what the other Ninja were doing. You didn’t quite want to know.

“Can we take this somewhere else?” Lloyd mumbled.

“Do they know… what you did? To me?”

Glancing at the others, you spotted puzzled looks. You scoffed.

“I guess you didn’t. Couldn’t tell them you dumped me, huh?”

“You what!”

Sounds of outrage and confusion filled the cafe. Thank goodness there was no one else there.

“Why?” You asked, voice straining not to break. “I thought you loved me.”

Lloyd refused to meet your gaze. His face was angled down, his fingers twisting in worry, a nervous habit of his.

“I did… and I still do.”

“Then what? What is wrong?”

Lloyd finally looked up at you, eyes brimming with tears.

“I was terrified, of losing you. I can’t let you get hurt because of me. What if one day, our enemies go after you as revenge? I can’t bear the thought of that happening.”

He sank into the nearest chair, the other Ninja suddenly finding the restroom extremely interesting.

“Oh… Lloyd…”

So he did have a reason. But still…

“Charlotte… I think I’ll clock out early today.”

Grabbing your jacket, you rushed out the door before anyone could say anything.

Angst

Reader is jealous of Harumi

Set at the start of Season 8

Sorry if this isn’t canon compliant, I haven’t watched S8 in some time after Netflix removed it

—————

You saw the way he looked at her.

Harumi.

The way his eyes sparkled, and the way he blushed, the way he stumbled over his words.

You wish he looked at you like that.

You and the rest of the Ninja were being shown around the palace, meant to protect the Oni Mask from the Sons Of Garmadon.

Why won’t he look at me like that? We’ve known each other for years, he’s known her for 2 days. Psh.

Cole placed a hand on your shoulder.

“You okay? You seem pretty… out of it.” He asked.

You brushed his hand off. “I’m fine. Just tired.”

“Alright…” Cole muttered as Jay continued to tease him about his ‘my body is a temple’ mindset.

That night, when everyone else was sleeping, you lay in bed, tossing and turning.

You had stuck with Lloyd through thick and thin. He couldn’t possibly be replacing you… right?

Just then, you heard quiet footsteps outside your door.

You knew Lloyd long enough to know that those were his.

Waiting for the footsteps to become softer and then peeking out the door, you spotted Lloyd heading down the hall. Despite every bone in your bone saying no, you followed him.

To Harumi’s room.

Of course.

Strangely, she wasn’t there. As Lloyd went to look for her, you trailed after him. You followed him all the way until he found her.

Harumi was gorgeous, you had to admit. White hair tied in a bun with absolutely no strand out of place, charming personality, slim figure…

Yeah.

And she was giving food to the poor. You found her unbelievably perfect.

The rest of the night was them interacting with thick romantic tension and you stalking along like a creeper.

All you wanted to do was pull Lloyd away from her and kiss him. Kiss him til you couldn’t feel your lips.

But this princess prevented that.

As your mind was left blank, you heard a tap at the window.

“Open up.”

You knew who it was even before you spun around to face him.

“Neil,” you whispered, pulling the window open. “Neil, I told you if you get caught—”

“I’ll get expelled and your dad and my dad will most likely kill me, I know, I know.” He climbed into your room, grinning. “But I just had to see you.”

You exhaled. “I’m scared for you. I’m scared of what will happen if you get found out.”

“I won’t. I promise.” Neil wrapped his arms around you, kissing your nose. “I love you.”

Ever since he had unlocked his dragon form, he acted like a cat.

How many true potentials does he have? Was what you thought when you first found out about this.

“Get off the fridge.”

He still acted like a kid sometimes, which, was reasonable, considering he missed out on most of his childhood.

“Why should I?” He asked. “It’s comfy here.”

Why do you complain?

When a farmer harvests their crop

Alright, you may not like it, but you can say it respectfully

You don’t have to me rude

I trust you enough to tell you I hold it close to my heart

I didn’t ask for your opinion

Is saying something sucks gonna make me think it’s bad? Probably not

Is it gonna make me feel guilty for liking something? Yes
