Battle scars-Lloyd x reader

My heart sunk to the very bottom of my chest. In fact it felt like a bottomless pit. It sunk further and further with each passing second. I sat there, on the ground. My love bleeding out in my arms. I held him tightly, securing him in place. His breathing heavy, short of breath. He clutched his abdomen where he bled out. Closing his eyes. Trying desperately to breath. The pain must be unbearable.

I still couldn't process what was happening. It felt like a fever dream. This whole situation was so unreal, yet so real at the same time. I held back tears, convinced he would be okay. At least I hoped. It's good to always stay positive, even in the worst situations. I think.

I struggled to breathe, tears welling my eyes. I wish I could share his pain. That way I'd feel a little less guilty. I did nothing wrong, I know that. I just couldn't bare the thought of the person I loved most in the world suffering before my eyes. He was bleeding out. Breathless. In pain. While I was here perfectly fine. I wish it was me instead, I'd bear that a lot better. Lloyd didn't deserve this. I sure did tho.

He protects this city, risks his life everyday and this is the thanks he's given. It's not fair. Not for him, not for me. Nobody even cares, they don't notice. Never even batted an eyelid at poor Lloyd. A single tear rolled down my burnt up cheek. As I ran my thumb over every one of his scars and wounds. His battle scars. It's just not fair.

I begun to cry, rubbing my eyes to try and stop the tears. Time running short. He'll be okay, right? He has to be. He's the green ninja, destined for greatness? He'll make it.

"Please be okay," I merely whispered out

I wanted him to say something, just a sign that he was going to be okay. I needed the reassurance. I couldn't bear the thought that this could be the last time I held him. In my arms. Tightly. Conflict all around us. This can't be it. It can't just end like this, can it? I know Lloyd, he's strong. Isn't he?

I clutched his hand with all my might. Squeezing it. Holding on like my life depended on it. I felt his hand tremble. Shaking uncontrollably. I attempted to steady it. His hand closed around mine. Holding it back softly.

"Y/n.." he breathed out. Weak. Eyes still closed.

My eyes widened upon hearing him speak. He was okay! At the moment.. I let out a relieved breath of air, I didn't even realise I had been holding it in. Gripping his hand tighter, reassuring him.

"Shh I'm here Lloyd, I'm here," I whispered out, letting him know he was safe. Sorta.

"I-" I cut him off with a finger to his lips, hushing him.

"Save your breath love," I smiled. Placing a gentle kiss upon his forehead. I saw his eyes flutter open. I rubbed his head, his soft hair brushing against my fingers. Wiping my wet face with my sleeve. he smiled. Slowly opening his eyes, fully.

My smile grew seeing him. His beautiful face smiling up at me. He looked so drained. Mentally and physically. Still bleeding out. I sighed once again, relieved he was ok. He looked down to his abdomen, seeing all the blood. He was covered. He let out a broken laugh. I looked at him confused. Why was he laughing.

"Hey look, I got a new battle scar,"
