Someone Like You (Lloyd x Reader)

Chapter 14 - Birthday Bombs

"Ugh," A Venomari pants from running for so long. Then out of no where, a white ninja then walks in front of him, blocking his path. The white ninja then drops his Golden Shurikens which release ice that covers anything it touches. The Serpentine then consequently slips on the ice while trying to run away from the white ninja.

The next ninja then shows up is surrounded by lightning from both his Golden Nunchucks and the power lines above. The blue ninja finally makes his appearance and whacks his nunchuck around with both talent and dangerously. Once again, consequently, the Serpentine is almost shocked by the lighting being whipped so close to him so he runs off in another direction, leading into the alleyway.

The red ninja is next to make his appearance as the Venomari Serpent trips over a few old wooden crates. The red ninja swipes his Golden Sword around making a flame scaring the Serpent as if it were even more possible.

The Serpent then runs back out of the alleyway and back to where he came from until another ninja decides to their appearance. The small silver ninja comes out of thin air from using her Golden Bow and Arrow to cause this effect. But even though she is so small, the Serpentine takes no chances and runs the other direction only to bump into the last ninja. The black ninja.

With his Golden Scythe hanging onto his back, he stands up strong to intimidate the Venomari which surely enough, works as he stays laying on the ground.

"Going somewhere?" The black ninja asks as the other 4 ninja then begin to circle the Serpent making sure he is unable to escape.

As we fly through the night clouds, we continue to explain to Sensei Wu, and the others what we had found out about the last Fang Blade.

"We better head to the bridge and see if that snake is telling the truth," Nya says as everyone gets up from previously having one of Zane's amazing dinners'. Unlike the others though, I stay seated, not wanting to go anywhere or even move for that matter.

"You okay kiddo?" I hear Cole's voice ask as I slump my head against the table.

"Fine. I guess," I reply plainly turning my head to face him while still on the table. "You know, you're gonna have to try harder then that to convince me."

I sit my head back up as Cole takes a seat next to me. "I'm good! How are you?" I reply again this time more cheerily.

"Y/n," Cole warns in a stern tone as I slump my head back into the table. "It's apparently my birthday today I just figured out," I begin, letting out a sigh I didn't realise I was holding in. "And I- I've never celebrated my birthday before, considering I've been on my own most of my life. And even if I did, I wouldn't remember because I would've been even younger and smaller then I am right now. I just, uh. I want to tell everyone that I'm finally a year older but I don't know how. Plus we have the whole Fang Blade and stopping the release of the Great Devourer situation right now so there's no time for celebrating." I sigh closing my eyes, wanting to fall asleep.

The Earth ninja keeps quiet as he's probably unsure to talk or not. Or he might just not know hat to say, you can never read a Ninja's face. Especially when your eyes are closed.

I then feel arms wrap around my small abdomen and pull me bag into a strong, muscular chest. So now my heads off the table and I'm sitting on a lap and chair. It's actually quite comfortable though. And for once in my life, I don't try to push anyone away, or Cole in this case, instead I slightly hug him back feeling his body warmth radiate onto my body as it chases away my goose bumps.

"Thank you," I manage to whisper out which Cole replies with a kiddy smile.

Then brushing him off of me, I jump up and try to pull the 50 tonne ninja off of his seat so we can walk over to the bridge. It takes a while, but I eventually get there and then we then begin to walk over to the bridge. But Cole seems to have other plans as he scoops me up, off of my feet, and places me on his shoulders. I don't decline the childish activity as we continue the rest of the walk across the Bounty with me on Cole's shoulders.
