|| Seventeen || ● Training with Lloyd ●

"You do know I'm skipping school for this, right?"

After cooking dinner last night for your brothers, yourself and your little friends (you had to sneak in some mac n' cheese for them, surprisingly they do need to eat to survive) you had taken a quick shower before flopping back into the warmth of your bed to pass out again.

Though, you thankfully had a dreamless sleep. No terrifying snake towering over you, and there definietly wasn't any sign of Slist and his ugly mug. You would say you had a great night sleep.

When you opened your eyes the next morning, you were greeted by the Green Ninja himself who grinned down at you. You had almost screamed in surprise, nearly throwing the small boy into a wall with how quick you sat up.

You scolded him lightly after you got over your tiny heart attack, but you just as quickly apologized at his disheartened pout.

After those events, you had changed into the appropriate gear and checked the date and time. It was a school day. You nearly forgot your own education. If you thought about it, wasn't saving your universe more important then learning algebra?

"Well, shouldn't you be thanking me then?" Lloyd was quick to retort, sending you a teasing grin which you only snorted to in responce.

Like every battle you had gone through with the rest of the team, you were in your large backyard. You knew your brothers wouldn't be come barging out to spot you two, they had both already got on the bus to school which left you hours before they came back.

"Hey! Shoo! Shoo!" Lloyd waved his little arms at the stray cat in the yard, the taby cat simply titling its head at the ninja with curiosity.

Probably trying to work out if he could eat Lloyd for breakfast or not. You chuckled at your thoughts, watching as the cat quickly scurried off after Lloyd had sent a blast of green energy at it as a warning.

"What're you laughing at over there?" Lloyd huffed out, shooting you a defensive look.

"Oh," You laughed, shaking your head, "It's just the cat. It seems to always jump over our fence whenever you're out here." It was true. Whenever Lloyd seemed to come outside to get some fresh air or watch you put out the wet laundry, that same cat always came to greet him or use its paws to pat him on the head, which made the ninja shout at it to leave him alone.

Lloyd furrowed his eyebrows and looked behind him to try and spot the cat again, only to see it eyeing him off on the top of the fence, it's tail happily swaying side to side in the air.

"Maybe you have a new friend." You chirped with a giggle, watching as Lloyd scoffed.

"Don't let it distract you with it's cuteness, (Y/N)!" Lloyd took a few steps until he was right in front of you, shaking you by your shoulders. "All it see's is food!"

You only laughed and pushed him off you, "Yeah, yeah. Sorry, it's fluffy cheeks got to me."

Lloyd only puffed out his cheeks, "Well, don't let it happen again. Especially when we're in battle!" He raises a clenched hand, his eyes narrowed.

You were really tempted to fist pump him but lost your chance when he took off, running a little bit away from you to get some distance between you both.

"Are you ready!?" He calls out, his hands already sparking to life.

You watched the green mist form around his hands, almost entranced by how pretty it actually looked. You shake your head, snapping your thoughts back to the task at hand.

"R-Right! I'm ready!" You shout back, your arms coming up to prepare for any incoming attacks.

Lloyd sends you an approving nod before the atmosphere went tense. You barely had time to see Lloyd take his first step towards you before his fist was suddenly aiming towards your face.
