Kindred Spirits

"COULDN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT YOU

This takes place after crystalized,harumi is living at the monastery after 5 months in prison (they wanted to give her more time there but lloyd had stood up for her)and its like a few weeks of lloyd and harumi building up their friendship.

Harumi and Lloyd were sitting in Lloyds room talking and enjoying each others company. They had agreed to get together every night after dinner and talk or watch movies or play video games whatever else as they were trying to make up their relationship.

In the first week it was awkward , they didn't exactly knew what to say to each other. Harumi tried to make a compliment to Lloyd's eyes but it only made it worse as Lloyd thought she was making fun of him as a reference of the time he lost his powers and had normal black eyes. (don't even ask). Lloyd would try to randomly take her hand or hug her in an attempt to make her feel comfortable which would make Harumi loose her mind and going all red but its not like she'll admit the reason for it...

Whoever for a couple of weeks they've made a really good progress. They started to get really comfortable with each other In a way that they felt able to talk about their feelings. Today they found themselves talking of the way they felt while Harumi and Garmadon were ruling Ninjago. Lloyd opened up to her about his depression. How he will spend the nights having nightmares. How guilty he felt after his friends " death". Hearing this made Harumi disgusted. Disgusted by herself.
-"I'm so sorry that you had to go through that"-Harumi said looking down in embarrassment.
Lloyd grabbed her chin forcing her to look him straight in the eyes.
-"Hey, I didn't tell you this to make you feel bad. I've just kept all these feelings inside for so long and I have to admit it feels good to finally share them with someone."- he smiled softly. That smile.His smile. He's just so caring. He is what started the war in Harumi's head. What made Harumi feel even more guilty than she already did during this 5 months locked in prison alone with her thoughts that drived her insane. They drived her insane right now too "that smile. You don't deserve it. Not after what you did." She pushed his hand that was still on her chin and looked away.
- "Maybe you should consider sharing them with someone else"
That suprised Lloyd. He stood their in shock for a second.
-"I'm sorry."- He said looking down. He was about to say something but he was interrupted by Harumi who sight loudly. She took a breath and looked back at Lloyd
-"Look i'm sorry i didn't mean to be mean. I like the fact you trust me enough to share this with me. But it also makes me realize i don't deserve it."
-"Don't deserve what ?"- he asked
"You". She thought to herself but she didn't said that .Obviously.
-"This"-she said.In more rude tone than she wanted.-"You opening up to me. Trusting me with your feelings. Trusting me enough to have me living under your roof. Trusting me enough to have me in your room at 10p.m without a weapon in your hand."- she stopped trying to resist the tears from falling in her eyes. She wasn't ready to cry. Not now,not in front of him.
- " You showing me more kindness than i ever showed you."
-"Rumi"- Lloyd said after a minute of silence. That make Harumi look at him with a suprise. That little nickname she let him call her when they first met. He haven't called her that in a while. Hearing it again made her feel...strange but she shood that feeling away when Lloyd started talking.
-" Its okay. Really. I know its weird but i don't feel regretful that i told you this. That i open up to you. I trust you with this bacause i know you can relate. "- she looked at him confused- " I mean...you lost your mom,your dad and you dreamed about them or atleast thats what you told me back in the Bounty... You were depressed about it and had to go through it on your own and had no one to talk to about it. I trust you living here and i'm okay with it because i know what it is to have no place to go to."
Harumi was looking at him in awe she didn't knew what to say or what to do. She just stood there staring at his eyes. The eyes full of innocent and care. Care for "her" No one really looked at her like that before it felt...good to have this,to have someone care for you.

Soon enough she realized she was staring and shook her head.
- "I...um...i don't really know what to say."- she said still the look of awe in her eyes.
- " You don't really have to say anything just accept that " i forgive you" and go along with it.
She stayed quite.
- "Oh and about having you in my room without a weapon part... I am keeping it in my wardrobe"- he joked winking at her with a smirk on his face. She smiled back. And it took everything in her to not hug him. She needed to,but she pushed that feeling deep inside were she was usually hidden all of her feelings.

The silence surrounded them but was broked by Lloyd.
- " I-i... um..wrote you letters. When you were The quiet one..
- "oh really?"- Harumi smirked at him.
- " Yeah "
-"What did they say ?"
- "Uhh... Dear Rumi. Is been one week since you and my dad took over the city. Everyone around me is determined and ready to fight. And yet the only thing I can think about when i think of you is how good it felt when you kissed me. "
Harumi looked at him desperately.
- " Lloyd..."- she said as she came close to him
Lloyd looked down in embarrassment.
- " I-I- I'm not expecting anything i'm just..."
He stopped when he realized how close she had come to him. Their faces inches apart. They both closed their eyes, but neither dared to take the step. He could have sworn she ducked, but they both literally jumped away from each other when they heard a door open.
-" Im sorry to bother you bro i'm just-"- Kai stopped when he realized Harumi was there. In Lloyds room. At now 11p.m. And when he saw the awkward look in their faces Kai's dirty mind called.
- " Did i interrupted something ?" - he asked with a smirk on his face.
- " N-No of course not! What could you possibly interrupt ? " - Lloyd asked smiling awkwardly
- "O-oh i don't know some interesting activity that includes you having a girl in your room while everyone is asleep " - Kai responded feeling proud of his lil bro
- " Kaii- I-its nothing like that !"- Lloyd yelled
" Me and Rumi were just chilling t-thats it ! And anyway why are you here ?"
- " Ok ok chill bro i was just kidding. I came to take my headphones i left them here a couple of days ago when we played videogames. "
- "Fine. And now when you found them..."- Lloyd said as he waved at Kai in a gesture to leave the room.
- " Okay i'm leaving." - Kai said but before closing the door said - " Oh and one little advise: Next time when you "just talk" try not to be dangerously close to each other who knows maybe next time you won't go more red than my gi when someone unexpectedly walks in"- and with that Kai left the room.

Lloyd and Harumi stayed silence for a second before Lloyd said - " I-m sorry about that,you know Kai and how stupid thoughts he has most of the time ha-ha "
- " Yeah...i-um-i better go.I-its getting late and i am very tired. "- Harumi said as she stood up.
-" Uhh- yeahh...of course...goodnight then..."
- " Night "
They awkwardly hugged before Harumi left the room. " What just happened?!"- They thought to themselves before going to bed.
