Lloyd spaced the entire time he was flying on his dragon back to the monastery. His cheek tingled. Did she just kiss him?
He touched his cheek, fingers brushing over the spot that had been burning ever since. His stomach twisted, but not unpleasantly. What is she doing to him?
The kiss felt nothing like the cheek kisses he'd get from his parents, or even that one from Nya when he got her that dope birthday present. His parent's kisses were in parental affection. Nya's was in platonic gratitude (besides, she kisses all of them on the cheek - the others all hate it. Except for Jay. Jay loves it). So why did this one feel different?
Was it because they spent the whole day together? Was it because neither of them denied it when Mr. Robuntusson asked if they were on a date?
The dragon halted midair and Lloyd widened his eyes. Wait.
Was it a date? Did she think it was a date? What if it was a date? What was he supposed to do now? He huffed, closing his eyes and pushing on towards home. He's overthinking it and is just going around in circles. He needs some wise words from somebody he has his full trust in. Somebody who knows exactly what to do.
When he arrived home, he made a beeline to Nya's room and knocked on her door.
"What?" she groaned, opening the door. She had a face mask on and a movie was playing from her laptop.
"I need to talk to you," he said seriously. Nya furrowed her brow, but it didn't really work because of the face mask.
"It's about the girl," he whispered.
Her eyes widened and she yanked him inside.
So that was how he was sat, ten minutes later, with a face mask on. Nya was engrossed in every word Lloyd spoke. It wasn't just because she was a girl that had her full attention. It was because something like this never happens to Lloyd Garmadon.
"Well, if she kissed you, then I'm pretty sure that means she likes you," Nya snorted. "She wouldn't if she didn't."
"So what do I do now?" Lloyd asked, wringing his hands nervously.
"Text her," Nya insisted. "Tell her that you had a good time! Ask when she wants to meet up again."
"Isn't it a bit soon?" Lloyd asked.
Nya shook her head. "She made the first move with that kiss," she said. "It's up to you to make the second. People will say to let it simmer for a bit but honestly, telling them that night that you had fun and want to meet up again is a major thumbs up. How is she to know that you enjoyed spending time with her if she doesn't hear from your for a few days?"
Lloyd hummed. "That does make sense," he murmured, pulling out his phone. He typed out a quick text and showed Nya. "Is this good?"
"Perfect!" she grinned.
Lloyd inhaled deeply, pressed send, and exhaled. "Thanks, Nya," he grinned.
"Anytime, Lloyd," she replied. "Oh, just a heads up but you're in huge trouble with your uncle. You said you'd be back by afternoon training! And you missed patrol."
Lloyd paled.
"Oh, no."

"You were out for a while," Mum noted when she heard me enter the house. I mindlessly walked over to her and she frowned at the blank look on my face. "God, please don't tell me that you almost killed somebody else."
