Never Leaving Your Side -|| Lloyd X Reader||-

45

The sun was shining bright on the City at seems to always be in danger. Thankfully, today was quiet with crime but loud with happy citizens. Kids playing in the park, people shopping, going to eat, hanging out with each other. Today was happy.

Today, we were happy. I was happy because Lloyd was happy and Lloyd was happy because I was happy. We were happy and today was going to be spent happily. " So which comics are you going to get?" " No clue. I don't really read them anymore." I dramatically gasp and turn my whole body to Lloyd. " Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon doesn't read comics anymore!? Who are you and what have you done to my Greenie!?" 

Lloyd laughed and pat my head, " I know it's weird. I must get back into my comics" " You have to. It's the law of being you." Lloyd laughed again and called me weird once again. We made it to Ninjago Doomsday Comix. Lloyd held open the door for me like the gentleman he was. " Why thank you," I smile and walk inside, Lloyd right behind me.

We walked through the store and up to the counter. " Hey, Mother Doomsday," " Yo Doomsday," Lloyd and I greeted. " Lloyd, (Y/n)! Well isn't it a treat to see you." Rufus smiled at us. " It's been a while, haven't seen you since the Grundle incident. How's it been?" Lloyd asked the older man.

" It's been good, business is still good. How are you two?" Lloyd uh-ed. I chuckled, " It's been a rollercoaster." I answer the man. " How bad has it been?" " Extremely." Rufus cringed a second. " Being a Ninja is rough?" " Oh extremely." Lloyd rolled his eyes and laughed.

" What's happened recently?" Rufus asked, intrigued with our lives. " Greenie got possessed," I stated bluntly. Rufus's mouth fell open. I started to laugh and Lloyd had to explain what happened.

" I'm sorry to hear that happened to you Lloyd." Rufus felt bad for the boy. " Meh, it's in the past." Lloyd shrugged. I glance at Lloyd damn well knowing that it wasn't in the past. My boy still has nightmares. " Well, we're going to look at some comics," Lloyd mentioned, noticing that a few kids wanted to buy some comics. " Well be back." Lloyd took my hand.  I gave a small wave to Rufus as we walked away, allowing him to help some other customers.

" I heard there are new Starfarer comics," I mention as we looked through some comics. " Wait when!? Why haven't I learned this?" Lloyd walked to the Starfarer area. " You were too busy being possessed." I snicker, making a joke of the past. Lloyd rolled his eyes once again. " Yeah yeah. Shut it." Lloyd picked up the comic books that were missing from his collection. Some of them were the last ones available.

I looked at a comic that was based on the past and other realms. The main character was a sorcerer who traveled to different Realms and tried to bring peace to others. The timeline is set in this year but the main character can time travel. I took the first few books and walked back to Lloyd. He had like 8 books in his hands. 

" How many is that? 8?" I ask, looking at what comics he got. " Hm? Oh yeah, starting a new series because it looked interesting. I see you have some as well." Lloyd mentioned, looking at my hands. " Mmmhm, it looked interesting so I wanted to read them." I smile. " Shall we check out?" Lloyd nodded and we walked to the front.

We paid for the comics and talked with Rufus for a little bit before saying goodbye and leaving. " Hey, I wanna stop by the flower shop before we go see the kids." Lloyd mention, taking my hand. " Oh? Why?" " Because I just remembered that Brad likes to plant flowers. And he was the only one kinda nice to be so I want to get him some flower seeds." " Aww, you got a favorite student?" " I was never a teacher there so no." Lloyd gently flicked my nose. " Rude."

We made it to the school that was changed back to Darklys Boarding School for Great Children since Wu doesn't run it anymore. The school had previously closed down during the Overlord's return but opened up once again. The school building had changed slightly but mostly stayed the same. We told the person at the front counter why we were here and they let us in. 

I first knocked on the door of a classroom and the teacher came over and opened it. I explained while we were here and told them that she could take a break. She thanked us before walking away. She seemed tired.

" What's up kids," I nonchalantly say as I step into the classroom.  "Ms. (Y/n)!" A few kids got out of their seats and ran over to hug me. I smile and bend down, " What's up kiddos! Hey, it's been a while." " Are you coming back to teach us?" A student asked. " Sadly not." There were a few sad aw's. " Hey, I'm a Ninja. I need to protect all of you." " That is true. She, and the others, need to protect." Lloyd added, stepping into the room.

Kids got really excited to see Lloyd. He's the checking Green Ninja for crying out loud. " Lloyd!" A certain student named Brad got up and went over to Lloyd. " I still can't believe that you're older than us." Lloyd chuckle and this. " Yup. No more fire ants in my bed." " I said I'm sorry." " Wait? That's Lloyd?"

Ah, Mr. spits when he talks. Gene. " How do you not know that was Lloyd?" I ask Gene who came over. " I thought he was still like us!" " No Gene. I'm older than you know." " Physically, not mentally," I add jokily. " (Y/n), shush." Lloyd held his hand up to me for a second.

" Gene have you not seen the news or any media?" Brad asked. "No..." Gene looked down. He felt dumb not knowing that Lloyd was older. " Hey, now you know Gene." Lloyd ruffled his hair. Gene looked up at Lloyd upset. He fixed his glasses. " Hey, Ms. (Y/n)!" A student named Sally.  

" Yeah Salls?" " Are you and Lloyd still dating?" She asked, holding my sleeve. " Mmmhm, expect that to never change." " What about Ms. Nya, Mr. Jay, and Mr. Cole? What's going on with them?" Oh yeah, she was one of the girls that saw what happened with that perfect match machine. " I'm pretty sure Cole is off the table. It's either Jay or someone else. But I'm putting all my money on Jay." I wink at her.

" I hope so! Mr. Jay and Ms. Nya just seem perfect. I don't know why the Perfect Match said her and Mr. Cole were perfect." Sally picked at her nail. " Well, people could seem perfect for each other, but not like each other. Someone could love someone else but not be perfect for them. I wouldn't trust a machine to determine your lover." " But you and Lloyd are a perfect match." " That's, that's beside the point kid." " But-" " Shhhh"
