Got some coffee gayly the other the evening <3

Sensei Garmadon ss feels bad because of everything he did to his family and others. Misako tries to comfort him, but it's hard. Sometimes words can't erase the guilt.

Tell me what you want and feel free to request.

"Come on, son, just one more and we're done," Sensei Garmadon said to Lloyd as he took a defensive stance, waiting for Lloyd to attack.

Lloyd swiftly moved towards him, and Garmadon raised his staff to avoid the strike. Suddenly, Lloyd lunged at him with his powers.

"Easy, son," Garmadon calmed him down. "We agreed, no powers in our monastery."

"Sorry," Lloyd said embarrassingly and yawned. "I'm tired. I don't know what I'm doing."

"I know," Garmadon gently replied. "How about we finish it for today?"

"Sounds good!" Lloyd exclaimed, happy to finally get some well-deserved rest. "Goodnight, dad."

"Goodnight, son," Garmadon smiled and started to walk slowly towards the bedroom he shared with Misako.

He had a family, everything he had ever wanted.

'And what he had before,' his mind reminded him.

'And what he discarded for power.' He shook his head, not wanting to think about it now. But he couldn't help it; guilt consumed him from the inside.

He sat on the bed to clear his mind. He was to blame for everything. He had tried to kill Lloyd, Misako, Wu, and everyone he knew.

He nearly destroyed Ninjago. How did he deserve to be forgiven? Tears blurred his vision. His head was so full of guilt that he didn't even notice when Misako entered the room.

"Garmadon?" she asked, surprised to see him crying. "Are you okay?"

"No," Garmadon replied shortly and buried his head back in his hands. She sat beside him.

"Garm," she softly said as she gently touched his chin, trying to turn his face towards her so she could look into his eyes.

Garmadon resisted her soft touch and turned his head to the other side to hide his tears.

"Why don't you tell me what's wrong?" she asked even more gently as she lightly stroked his face.

"How can you still love me?" He suddenly turned his head towards her.

"I don't have an answer." Misako shrugged. "I just know that I love you and I can't help it."

"Even after everything I've done?" Garmadon asked her, confused. "How can you, Lloyd, Wu, or anyone else still love me?"

Misako was about to say something, but Garmadon interrupted her.

"Just don't tell me it wasn't me, I've had enough of that. I made the decisions myself and I'm to blame."

He could feel a new stream of tears rolling down his face.

Above all, he wanted to bury his face in Misako's shoulder for comfort and to hide his tears from her.

He knew he couldn't, now he had to talk to her face to face, no matter how much he longed for her reassurance.

"It's true that you made the decisions yourself, but you can't claim to be the same. After you fell into the underworld, you were not the same person in essence, you can't deny that. Are your decisions now the same as when you were poisoned?"

"Fair enough," Garmadon noticed. "But that doesn't diminish the fact that it's my fault."

"It doesn't diminish it," Misako admitted. "But it changes things. And as for how we can still love you after everything, well, if you love someone, you're willing to forgive them a lot. Without the poison, you're a great man."

"If you can forgive me, why can't I forgive myself?" Garmadon asked.

"Honestly, I don't know," Misako helplessly replied. "But I know one thing. Time heals all wounds."

"Not this one," Garmadon said hoarsely. "Not yet."

"First, you have to understand that not everything is entirely your fault, that you can forgive yourself," Misako said. "Lloyd, me, Wu, and the ninjas will still love you. I'll be there for you."

"I know," Garmadon murmured, relieved to have some form of comfort. He rested his head on her shoulder and let the tears flow again.

"There will be more days like this," Garmadon suddenly said with certainty.

"We'll be there for you," Misako told him as she ran her hands through his hair. "But you'll have to heal. It's in the past, no matter how painful. You have changed."

They didn't say anything else when they lay down. He just pulled her into his embrace and buried his head in her hair.

"I love you," he told her as he held her closer.

"I love you too," she said, wrapping her arms around him. "Remember that time heals all wounds. The further you go, the easier it will be, I promise."

He sighed. As much as Misako reassured and comforted him, she couldn't remove the terrible feeling inside him.

She couldn't remove everything he had done or the fact that he was guilty.

However, she had lightened the burden so much that he felt like he could breathe again.

There would be more days like this, he knew. He just hoped that tomorrow would be better.

Suddenly, Misako turned in her sleep and buried her head more firmly against his chest. He held her tighter to soothe her.

Garmadon laughed. Whatever happens, it will get easier as time goes by.

He has his family whom he loves and who loves him. He couldn't ask for more, nor did he want to.

He kissed Misako on the forehead again, causing her to relax a little in his embrace.
