"I'm going to bring some clothes from my house next time I come over," I announced as I stepped back into Lloyd's room after getting changed into a pair of his fat pants and oversized hoody.
I was absolutely swamped in his clothing, but I couldn't deny the warm buzz my stomach did as I lost myself in the folds of his clothes. I could fit another person in with me. Granted, it would be a small person. Oh! I could fit Raptra in with me.
I really should see her again. Make sure she's okay.
I wonder how Lloyd would handle that information.
The relaxing heat of the onsen still sat pleasantly in my limbs and I found myself growing tired despite it still being relatively early. Lloyd just smiled as I shuffled towards him.
"Aw, but you look so cute in my clothes," he pouted as he pulled me in close. I stumbled over the long pant leg.
"It's a danger hazard," I pointed out, arms pressed against his chest.
"As if you weren't already one," Lloyd snickered. I opened my mouth to retaliate but found that I couldn't.
"Okay, fair, but this makes it worse."
"A price to pay for you to look adorable," Lloyd grinned, bringing the hood over my head. I frowned, face hot and flustered. Lloyd didn't react to my blush but however, I did notice the smug glint in his eyes. "Dinner time? I think they put leftovers for us in the fridge."
"Oooh, yeah, yeah!" I agreed with a happy nod. My phone started to ring and I pouted. "Boo."
Turning away, I pulled out my phone and saw that it was my mother. I pressed answer just as Lloyd's arms looped around my waist from behind. I leant back into his chest.
"Helllloooo?" I greeted.
"Helllooooo," Mum replied with a chuckle.
"HELLOOO!" Dad yelled.
"Papa!" I chirped with a beaming smile. "When are you coming back?"
"Eager?" he laughed. I puffed my cheeks.
"Always!" I replied boldly. Lloyd began twirling a lock of hair between his fingers, listening quietly. "I demand a rematch."
"Of what?" dad snorted.
"Everything!" I exclaimed. "Oh! Lloyd's teaching me jiu jitsu. I'm really good at it."
"You arE NOT-" Lloyd scoffed loudly.
"In spirit!"
"That does not count."
"Oh," dad said slowly, voice dramatically sullen. "Lloyd's there."
I could feel Lloyd's lips quirk into an amused smile against my cheek.
"Hi, Jamie," he greeted, to which he got no reply.
"Stop behaving like a child, for Pete's sake," mum hissed at dad. "I thought you guys were working together now."
"Hey, no," dad argued. "I'm not giving Lloyd special treatment just because he's the green ninja. I don't care who Y/n dates. I'll behave the same."
I sighed slowly through my nose, amused. Lloyd tapped my waist while we waited. It seemed like they were going to take a while.
"Okay, call you guys later, bye!" I quickly said before hanging up. Once dad got started on a rant, there was usually no stopping him.
"Your Mum's in Jamanakai for the weekend?" Lloyd asked. I nodded.
"We can have a weekend long sleepoveeeer," he coed into my ear. "What will it take for you to move in already?"
"AhA maybe more than six months of being in a relationship," I squeaked, cheeks bright red. "Also, detour, where did that come from?"
"Dunno," Lloyd shrugged, arms tightening around my waist comfortably. "This week without you was pretty eye-opening."
I turned in his hold, gaze furrowed.
"How so?"
"Means I might be asking you to marry me sooner than I thought," he said with a boyish smirk as he brushed his nose against mine. My breath caught behind my teeth, strangled purely by his soft-spoken words, and he laughed. "I'm just kidding."
My eyes widened.
"Don't JOKE about that!" I scolded with a whine. "I thought you were being serious! I was having a crisis! I'm only seventeen, you jerk!"
"Sorry," he chuckled. I puffed out my cheeks and crossed my arms, not believing his apology.
"No, you're not."
"Not in the slightest," Lloyd confessed with a chuckle. "Let's go get some dinner. Then we can play the newest Starfarer video game!"
