We Are Just Friends...

LLOYD P.O.V

I rushed around the couch, trying to catch Jay. He was still laughing. 

"So what were you trying to do Lloyd?" he laughed, wiping a tear of mirth from his eye. 

"We were just playing around! I slipped over and I-" I began.

" Oh so you were playing? " Jay choked with laughter. "OkAy"

I glared at him. "I just fell over on the stupid ice okay! "

I had no idea what had come over me when I had slipped and Kai pinned me down. I guess I sort of just went with it. I felt like I could have just kissed him in that moment. It seemed a fine idea at the time, but thinking about it now I felt so embarrassed. I could have sworn Kai had been blushing though, it might have been the cold, but damn he looked so handsome and adorable. I wanted to see him look at me again the way he did when I pinned him down. Oh fuck what am I thinking.

He had also called my smile cute.

what does that even mean.

"Yeah okay, whatever you say." Jay said in a disbelieving voice.

 "Give it a break.. please." I said defensively but my voice became small, making Jay chuckle. I threw a pillow from the couch at him and he squealed as it hit him directly in the face. He picked it up and tossed it back. I promptly caught it. 

"It's okay, your secret is safe with me." He teased. 

"What secret!? ''I exclaimed indignantly. Feeling even more embarrassed.

And when I had rested against his chest, he was so warm, it felt so nice... This is bad. What am thinking?

"You know what I'm talking about. " Jay laughed and winked at me.

 I lifted the pillow to chuck it back at him. But I heard someone behind me and turned to see Cole, grinning evily at me. I dropped the pillow and tried to run but he lifted me up and chucked me to the couch, knocking the breath out of me. I curled up and laughed. Man these guys, I couldn't stay feeling down around them for long. Sure their teasing was annoying and embarrassing, but I loved them both.

"You guys settled down now?" Cole laughed.

" Maybe." I grinned, grabbing another pillow from the couch and chucking it at Cole.

" Woah, greenie. " Cole caught the pillow and placed it back on the couch, sitting down beside me.

" Kai is waiting to watch the rest of that show with you." he said. 

"Oh yeah!" I jumped up. "Where is he?" I willed myself to not look and sound so excited but I failed. Jay choked out a laugh again whilst I glared at him and went to raise another pillow at him, making his shriek and disappear behind the couch once more.

"Just out in the hallway last I saw." Cole replied with a grin.

I chucked the pillow behind the couch at Jay one last time for good measure and then raced out to the hallway before Jay could retaliate. I saw Kai standing at the far end outside his bedroom door. 

Kai saw me smiled at me. "Come on, I'm gonna get my laptop set up" He opened his bedroom door and went inside. 

I smiled back as I followed him into his room. I hadn't been in there for a while. We used to all share the same room until Cole and Jay started dating. They had wanted some privacy so we redesigned the place so everyone had a separate room. As a result they were a little cramped, But there was still enough space to get around. 

Kai had posters of sports cars and half naked women plastered on his walls. My heart sank a little. Kai was very obviously straight. My room was covered with posters too, but most were from my favourite movies or bands. And most were of guys.. 

Why do I keep thinking about this? There's no way he would ever like me anyway, and he is already dating Skylor right? just stop Lloyd. This is wrong.

I noticed that upon Kai's dresser there were a bunch of framed photographs. One was a picture of all of us, that is me, Kai, Nya, Jay, Zane, Cole, Sensei Wu, and my parents. Misako and Garmadon. I had the same picture in my room. It was taken shortly after the battle with the Overlord. We all looked so happy. Finally my family was together, we had helped save Ninjago. It reminded me of a time when I was happy, things were better..

But not for long, I hadn't done enough, the Overlord had come back and I had gone into hiding like a coward. Then he had managed to steal enough of my golden power and the golden weapons, to become strong enough to defeat us, and Zane had sacrificed himself to save us all. 

If I had been a better ninja, that wouldn't have happened... 

"Hey!" Kai said. Jolting me out of my thoughts. He was sitting on his bed, cross legged, the laptop in front of him.

"Uhhhh so.. Cole gave me some movie tickets for the latest Fritz Donnagan movie...We can go tomorrow if you like?" he questioned a bit awkwardly. 

"He did? ! That's awesome! I've been waiting for this movie for ages." I exclaimed excitedly. Cole often did kind things like this. Buying everyone movie tickets, shouting everyone lunch. It reminded me I wanted to get something for him to say a thank you for being such an awesome friend. I wanted to get something for all of my friends actually. Kai especially. I would try to go shopping this week.

"Is tomorrow okay though? When is your appointment?" Kai asked.

"Tomorrow morning should be fine, My appointment isn't until the afternoon." I said. 

"Okay, well.. sounds good. Kai said awkwardly, looking away but not before I noticed his face was red again.

Wait..is he actully blushing?

"I got the show started by the way." he said, his awkwardness suddenly vanishing.

 He patted the bed beside him for me to sit down and join him. 

Once again my stupid heart fluttered. I crawled onto Kai's bed and sat down, I kept a bit of distance between us, feeling a little awkward after Jay's teasing. For the first ten minutes I ended up trying my hardest to concentrate on the show, but was instead extremely distracted. My mind racing with our previous conversations on the deck. I wanted to be close to Kai, I wanted to hug him so badly. I just wanted to be with him all the time. But I also felt so embarrassed and didn't want to be near him at all. It was such a frustrating feeling. So I just sat there, distracted and on edge. My mind racing with conflicting thoughts and emotions. I glanced nervously at Kai. I think he noticed, as he suddenly spoke. 

"You know, you don't have to sit all the way over there, come on, move a bit closer, you will be able to see better." He moved a little away to make it more inviting for me to sit closer.

"Ahh okay." I said awkwardly. I moved so I was sitting right beside him. My heart jumped as we brushed shoulders for a moment and I quickly moved just enough so we weren't touching.

We are just friends. I told myself. My face heated up again. It was wrong of me to like him so much when I didn't really know if he was still dating Skylor. I didn't want to ask him yet. Why should I anyway? He's not going to date me. I'm just imagining things. Besides even if he did, it doesn't matter. I would tell him to find someone better than me. He doesn't deserve me.

We are just friends..
