So, it's based off of this by Dr. Fluffmuffin: s/12614578/1/Under-the-Rug . It's so heartbreaking and I really like it, so I decided to write a second part.
It had been an hour after Garmadon's outburst, and he only wanted to talk to his son. He made his way over to his room. His door was shut. "Lloyd?" he quietly asked as he opened it. "Can I?"
"Sure." Lloyd smiled softly, watching his father come and sit down next to him.
Garmadon let out a sigh. "I'm sorry... I never meant it to escalate that far."
"Dad..." Lloyd murmured. "Cole was trying to be friendly, he never meant to make you upset..."
"I know... Son, there are things from my past I am not proud of, but I have no regrets. Misako saw past my looks, she knew I had gone through so much, but she didn't let that stop her. We became as close as ever..." He blinked back tears. "And then we had you. Lloyd Montgomery...you were our miracle child... Never in a million years did I even think anyone could love me as much as she did... But...it was that same night when the venom fully took over... I fell... And just like that, you were torn away from me..."
"You don't have to tell me this if you don't want to." Lloyd embraced his father close.
"No Lloyd. I do need to share this. After what happened on the island that first time, it's about time that I told you the full story. I longed so badly to see you, but I just couldn't. The moments when I was alone were the only times within the realm where I could truly be myself. I soon managed to escape, and went to the Realm of Madness, having gained enough power to have four arms." Garmadon placed a hand on Lloyd's shoulder, gazing into his eyes in a sad, but loving way.
"But Wu told me you were in danger. I had to help, only to have our family torn apart once more... I didn't want to harm you...one of the serpentine suggested legitimately destroying you, and..." He started to tear up in anguish. "I-I just wanted to rip him apart... I wouldn't let him take you away from me. But on the Dark Island, that was when my feelings toward you really started to become stronger. Although I was constantly tempted, I just couldn't lay a hand on you. I love you far too much to let you leave me again. I'm so glad you saved me."
Lloyd let out a soft cry. "F-Father..."
"It's okay, son." Garmadon embraced Lloyd tightly, beginning to tear up as well. "I'm here now... I'm not going to leave you anytime soon... Everything will be alright."
"I love you so much..." Lloyd sobbed.
"I love you too, my dearest... That's what made our battle so difficult... Besides that, although you appear to be older, you will always be my child at heart... You're only ten...and yet you've come so far... I couldn't be more proud of you..."
Lloyd smiled. His father loved him unconditionally. They were together at last. "Heh," he chuckled. "Better late than never."
"I couldn't agree more..." Garmadon lightly kissed his forehead.
"Dad... I don't want to sleep alone...can you stay with me?"
"Of course..." The sensei's voice dropped to a faint whisper. He sat down next to Lloyd, making room before he lied down, arms around his only child. He started to softly sing, he rarely did, and it was so beautiful. "'When this world is no more, the moon is all we'll see. I'll ask you to fly away with me, until the stars all fall down. They empty from the sky. But I don't mind. If you're with me, then everything's alright. If you're with me, then everything's alright.'" ("Everything's Alright" by Laura Shigihara)
Lloyd had already fallen asleep by then.
Sighing softly, Garmadon looked down at his son. "I love you so much... I wouldn't have it any other way."
