Lloyd's POV
I sat alone in my room, clutching my green pillow tight in my arms. It had been about 6 days since I had to banish my father to the cursed realm in order to save Ninjago. The only thing I thought of now is him. During the day, I just stay in my room with only my lamp light turned on, quietly sobbing into my pillow and hugging the only picture of my father. The only thing I have to remember him. During the night, I cry myself to sleep, always hoping that the next day he would be beside me when I woke up. But I knew he wouldn't be.
The others have all tried to get me to come downstairs, but I always turn them down. I lie and tell them that I'm sick or something. But I think they all know the real reason.
I looked at the picture again. It had my father, my mother, Misako and I on it, all of us smiling and enjoying life.
"Why, father?........I'm all alone.......I-I miss you" I thought to myself. More tears formed in my eyes. I've pretty much given up on trying to wipe them away, knowing that I'll just start crying again. Suddenly, I heard I quiet knock on the door.
"I-If that's you again, Kai, I'm fine! Just have a s-stuffy nose" I said, sniffling to make it sound like I was sick.
"Lloyd. It's me, Zane. Can I come in?" he asked quietly. Now that I think about it, Zane was actually the only one that hadn't tried to get me out of my room. I think it was time to talk with someone.
"C-Come on in" I told him. Then Zane opened the door, his icey blue eyes glowing as he walked towards me. He got onto the bed and sat beside me, crossing his legs.
"The others are worried about you. They really want to see you again" the nindroid said. I didn't say anything as I clutched my pillow tighter. I turned away, hoping Zane wouldn't notice the sad face I was making. But he did.
"Hey, Lloyd" he said as he put his hand on my shoulder. I turned and looked him right in the eye. "Tell me what's wrong. Please" Zane begged.
"I-It's just.......my dad....I......I miss him so much" I whimpered as more tears ran down my cheeks. I tried wiping them away fast, because I was embarrassed for Zane to see me like this. But, surprisingly, he pulled me into a hug and started stroking my messy blonde hair. I started sobbing in his shoulder, but he didn't seem to mind.
"Shhhhh...... It's okay, Lloyd. It's gonna be okay" Zane said, still trying his best to comfort me. "I understand the pain you're going through". I looked up at him.
"Y-You, sniff.....you do?" I asked.
"Yes. I felt the exact same way you're feeling now when my father passed away" Zane explained.
"B-But, when I saw you after he died, you seemed fine" I said.
"Well, that was before you left to go to accept awards for saving Ninjago as the Golden Ninja. While you were away, I barely spoke to anyone, and I spent most of my days in my room, sobbing" the nindroid said. I was very surprised that Zane once felt this way.
"And at night, I cried myself to sleep, hoping that the next day, I'll see him again" Zane finished.
"Sniff, that's exactly what happens to me" I said, sounding like a little kid. Then, I started to feel something on my nose. Then I realized my nose was running. For some reason, Zane noticed.
"Now, you shouldn't let your nose run like that. It's unbecoming of gentleman such as yourself" Zane said. Then he pulled out a clean white rag and held it up to my nose.
"Alright, three, two, one, blow!" Zane said. Then I blowed my nose really hard. Then he folded it up and put it on my nightstand.
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Zane exclaimed. Then I saw him reach over to a plate of food on the nightstand. Huh, I didn't even see him bring it in.
"I knew you wouldn't come down right away, so, I brought you a little something. You haven't eaten in a while, so....." he trailed off. The food was a large cinnamon roll. Probably what they had for breakfast. Well, it was better then nothing. I grabbed my fork and started eating really fast, because I was really hungry. I looked over at Zane a couple of times. He was just smiling at me. There was even one time where he did his awkward chuckle. I smiled back, still stuffing food in my mouth. I then felt my cheeks heat up a little. Was I blushing?
After I was finished eating, Zane took my plate away.
"Now, you ready to come back downstairs tomorrow?" he asked. I nodded.
"Yeah, I think so. Just, I think I should get some sleep. I didn't realize how late it was" I said. Zane smiled.
"Okay. That's all I need to hear" he said. Just as he was about to get up and leave, I stopped him.
"Zane, wait!" I exclaimed.
"Yes, Lloyd?"
"Can you...um.....stay with me?" I asked, uncomfortably. Zane didn't say anything, but smiled again.
"Of course" he said simply. Then he got back onto the bed, sitting close to me. Then I snuggled into his chest. I could tell how madly he was blushing. Huh, for someone made of titanium, he wasn't cold at all.
"Hmm.......you're so warm" I said, sinking into his chest more. Then Zane stopped blushing and pulled up the blanket. He wrapped it around me. The feeling of the soft fabric and Zane's warm chest made me feel safe.
"Goodnight, Lloyd. Pleasant dreams" Zane as he wrapped his arms around me and turned off the lamp. Then sleep overwhelmed me and I drifted off, feeling safe and secure in Zane's arms.
