Llorumi Oneshots - NINJAGO Fanfiction

Holding You Tight

I honestly don't care if most of my fanfiction oneshots end up being Lloyd caring about Harumi, because it's damn adorable and if you don't like it you can leave, mwahaha!

Anyways..

••••••

"Harumi- Harumi you've going to fall!" Lloyd called from the bottom of the collapsed boulders and rocks.
"Shut up, Green Ninja! You're going to make me fall at this rate!" Harumi yelled back, seems that she was doing fine at the moment.. But she was only halfway, and considering that she is quite short and the length is long, she's got a long way to go.

"Okay, just- be careful.." Lloyd folded his arms, his fingers digging into his skin anxiously. He watched as Harumi continued to scale the pile of rubble cautiously, until one of the rocks came loose and caused her to slip. She held onto one of the boulders as tight as she could, whining as she cut her hand.
"Rumi!" Lloyd called, getting ready to catch her. Harumi's hand was too weak to hold the rest of her body's weight, causing her to tumble down the steep pile. She hit her arm on the way down before falling into Lloyd's arms, who was able to keep stood after catching her.

"Agh.." Harumi groaned, there being a new, sharp cut along her lower arm. The white-haired female looked around, sighing before quickly inhaling again.
"Let go of me!" Harumi demanded in a panicked speed, escaping Lloyd's arms and going to climb again. She was stopped by Lloyd's grip, wrapping around her waist so he didn't hurt her.

"Harumi, no!" Lloyd kept a firm grip on her as she kicked, "You're hurt already, you don't need to get those wounds infected or fall again!"

"I need to get out of here!" Harumi repeated time and time again, her chest heaving up and down as she panicked. "Please, Lloyd.. I need-" Harumi choked on her own words as tears ran down her cheeks.
Harumi's legs gave in and she sat down on the floor with Lloyd still hugging her. Lloyd had been a Ninja long enough to know what panic attacks and phobias looked like.

Kai used to be like this was with water.

Was she the same with closed spaces?

Lloyd held her close to his chest, which gave her the chance to hide in his shirt, holding onto the material with a small grip.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, so so sorry.."

"Shhh... It's okay, you're alright.. keep breathing."

Lloyd held her shoulders gently, "Follow my rhythm, okay? You can do this.." the blonde quietly encouraged the younger female. Harumi's breathing began to match the pace of Lloyd's, until she looked around and panicked again.
"Hey, Harumi. Hey!" Harumi turned back to him, fear in her wide eyes. "Eyes on me.. Just on me, okay? You're safe with me.." Lloyd said softly as he ran a hand gently through her hair. Harumi shuffled closer to Lloyd, hiding his face into her shoulder.
At one point Lloyd would've been red as hell and squirmed like a piglet, whereas right now, all he was focused on was calming her down.

Lloyd gently ran his hand up and down her back, gently humming into her ear for a few minutes, waiting until he knew she was calm.

"Can I take a look at your wounds please? Oh, and we should check what supplies we have until the others find us.."

"Al..Alright.."

•••••

Lloyd was crouched in front of Harumi as she leant against the wall, looking up at the small gap that was once the entrance to this dead end, thinking back to how this happened just because of their vibrations from duelling.

"Almost done.." Lloyd muttered, focusing on tying the ripped part of his sleeve around her two wounds. "You doing okay?" he asked when he was almost finished, he didn't look into her eyes in the hope that it wouldn't pressure her.
"Yeah.. I'm good." Harumi muttered, staring up at the gap. "Just.." Lloyd looked up, finished. "wondering if this would have happened had I not been so stupid."

"..What?- Rumi we were duelling, that takes two."

"No, I mean- what I've done this entire time."

"Don't dwell on that.." Lloyd muttered, shuffling to sit beside her. "We can't change the past. Only the future's fate." he claimed as he went to wrap an arm around her back to comfort her ... But when he saw the strangulation marks around her neck, he was furious.

"Harumi." Lloyd demanded her name. She turned, looking up at him. "Who hurt you?"
"Hurt me?" Harumi scoffed, "I'm the Quiet One, I hurt people." Lloyd could see she was putting on an act, he could see it in her eyes - he could also hear the overconfidence, after she just expressed regret for becoming the Quiet One.

"We're gonna get out of here. Then you're coming with me."

"Lloyd, I-"

"No buts. That's final Harumi."

Harumi went quiet, looking down at the floor. After a minute or two of silence, she snuggled up to Lloyd's side. Unlike Garmadon, he didn't scold then walk away or slap her, he embraced her, his arm wrapping around her and pulling her closer.
