A/N - For @-stupidbish-

You stare intensely at the TV, eyes locked at the client speaking. "You shouldn't be shy around boys like that! Boys like that brave and sassy attitude." You watched as the client yelled at a timid lady. You sighed,"This client doesn't understand what it's like to be shy." You were shy, but not so shy where you would isolate yourself from the whole world. You lean your head back in frustration, you were planning to ask Lloyd to be your boyfriend, but you were too shy. You closed your eyes and massaged your temple. "I wish this could've been way more easy." "What could've been more easy?" A childish voice chimed in. This caused you to open your eyes and quickly turn off the TV in a panic state. You glanced behind you to see the green ninja.

You blushed in embarrassment and threw the remote on the couch you're seating on. "W-What did you hear?" Lloyd smirked at your flushed face. You avert your eyes to the vase because apparently it was interesting. "Well I just heard you talk to yourself." Your face flushed even more. Your god damn crush heard you talking to yourself! He probably thought you were crazy or something. You stayed silent as you folded your arms across your chest. "You didn't answer my question, (Your Name)." You look up at Lloyd in confusion,"W-W-What do you mean?" "What could've been more easy?" He gave you a charming smile causing you to melt in the inside.

You decided to tell him your situation, but you won't tell him who the person is. "W-Well I-I have this one person I like, but I don't know how to ask him out." Your voice ended strongly which surprised you. You didn't understand why you even bother to open up to Lloyd. Lloyd place a finger on his chin and stroke it, acting as if he had a beard. "You should try to get to know him more and maybe you should try something daring. I mean he would be an idiot if he didn't notice your feelings." You muttered quietly to yourself,"Then that means you're an idiot." Lloyd gave you a look. "What did you say?" Your face turned into a tomato once he said that.

You quickly shook your head and waved your hands frantically. "N-Nothing!" You mentally hit yourself since you kept stuttering over and over again. Lloyd shrugged his shoulder and left you to think about your plan. Well maybe I should just tell him. Maybe I'll just be really blunt about this. You smack your face on the palm of your hands and groan in frustration. Your face was dusted with a deep red blush. You stood up and snatch your (Favorite Color) purse which was sitting on the glass coffee table. "Might as well just buy some gifts to woo him." You grumble under your breath as you walk towards a fancy store known for selling the best chocolates.

"Chocolate? Check. Bouquet of Roses? Check. Banner? Check. Candles? Check. Petals? Check." You bit the inside of your cheek, probably making them swollen but for now you didn't care. This was going to be the biggest moment of your life. You had ask all the ninja to help you prepare for the proposal. They all agreed with excitement visible in their eyes. Cole and Jay were scattering scarlet petals across the room as Zane place the flickering candles so they would be in a straight column. Nya tape the "I love you" banner on the wall behind you and Kai went to get Lloyd. You fidget around in your red silky lace dress, make up was plaster on your face and you were currently holding the bouquet of roses and box of chocolate. The anxiety was eating at you. Was he going to say no? Will you screw this up? Nya scoff as she saw your nervous state,"C'mon (Your Name), you're sweating like crazy right now." You shrunk from her voice and mutter out an apology.

"Alright, everything's in place. We just need Kai to bring Lloyd over." Cole said as he scatter the last of the petals. Jay flicker off the lights as they all stood at the sidelines, secretly admiring their handiwork. And as if on cue, you heard the chattering voices of Kai and Lloyd. Beads of sweat drip down your forehead, you used the back of your hand and quickly wipe it off. A slight click came from the door along with Lloyd's childish voice. "So where's the new gam..." Lloyd jaw drop slightly from the sight of you in a dress for the first time. You gulp in the nervousness and made your way to Lloyd's stunned figure. The flames flicker as you left your small circle of petals. You thrust the roses and chocolates in his face and turn your head slightly to the left to hide the growing blush. "I-I was w-wondering if you w-want to go out with me." You lower your head expecting him to reject you.

Suddenly you felt rough hands cup your face. You look up at Lloyd in confusion only to feel a pair of lips smash against yours. You gasp in surprise, but nonetheless match your lips with his. Cheer erupted from the background, but you ignored it. After a few seconds, Lloyd pulled back, much to your disappointment, and lean his forehead on yours. "Of course I'll go out with you." Tears prick from the corner of your eyes due to the overwhelming happiness. You wrap your arms around his neck and hug him tightly. He chuckle and wrap his arms around your waist in return. A grin was plaster onto your face and it seems as if only you and Lloyd existed. You let go of him and he took this opportunity to intertwine his fingers with yours. "You know, I love the way you have the confidence to ask me out."
