Ninjago: Unexpected Emotions

"Morning!" Jay yelled waking everybody up.

"Morning Jay..." Kai yawned, He then felt eyes burning into him. Everyone was staring at him. "What?"

"Nothing...it's just we all heard you singing to Lloyd last night..." Cole said.

"Yeah, reminded me of my childhood." Nya smiled.

Kai scratched the back of his head. "I only did it to help Lloyd sleep."

"Oh yeah, thanks" Lloyd said.

"No problem pal!" Kai reached down and ruffled Lloyd's hair.

"Hey! No one messes up my hair!" Lloyd climbed onto Kai's ladder and ruffled Kai's hair. (A/n: If anyone can tell me where I got that quote from gets Cookies! And a personal notes of what I think about their previous reviews and if not I'll do something they ask me xD)

Kai chuckled. "No one messes up my hair!"

Lloyd laughed. His heart pounded quickly. He jumped off of the ladder. He smiled slightly.

"You guys are so childish..." Nya complained.

"We know." They both said in sync.

"Ah...boys." Nya shook her head.


After everyone got back into their usual clothes they all headed to the living room.

Garmadon and Wu were already there.

"Hello." Garmadon greeted them.

"Hi dad!" Lloyd smiled.

Wu bowed to them. They all bowed back.

"I dibs the video games!" Jay ran to the sofa.

"Hey no fair!" Cole ran with Jay.

"I want to play too!" Zane whined going along with them.

Kai and Nya exchanged looks and shook there heads, then they laughed a little.

Nya went to watch the other boys play.

"You wanna play after?" Kai asked Lloyd.

"No thanks."

"Okay." Kai huffed. "Last night you really worried me." Kai's voice became serious. "I felt sorry for you, don't find me rude but why are you scared of storms?"

"When I was little...and wore that stupid black robe. I was left alone in the dark, the first time I was alone there was a storm, one that knocked down a few things. I was left out in the rain, I was scared. No I was terrified. The thunder now brings back bad memories." Lloyd explained.

Kai rested his hand on Lloyd's shoulder. "It's okay, I'll make sure nothing will happen to you. I promise." Kai smiled at him.

Lloyd smiled back. His heart pounded really quickly. He felt warmth rising on his face. He quickly looked away.

Kai removed his hand. "You okay?"

"Y-yeah.." Lloyd walked away slowly.

Kai was confused. He brushed it off though he went and watched the others play.

Lloyd went up to the upper deck of the bounty nobody else went up there anyway.


Lloyd got to the top deck. He like to watch the clouds or the stars. He lied back on the deck with his arms by his side.

He looked up and watched the soft clouds pass by, covering parts of the sky and then reveling them again. He found out this is a good way to clear his mind. He smiled to himself. He closed his eyes and listened to nature, the wind blew through his hair, the birds that flew past tweeted their own songs, and the grass which wasn't to far below swayed. Lloyd took a deep breath in and then he exhaled. He opened his eyes slowly, staring up at the clouds again. He mind slowly drifted to Kai. 'His eyes glow a little at night, Kai is different, his eyes are red, he was born with them...' Lloyd felt heat rising on his face again. 'Kai's always so nice to me...'

Lloyd sighed lovingly.

"Lloyd?" Kai's voice came from behind Lloyd. Lloyd sat up and turned around.

"You come up here too?"

Lloyd nodded. "You can...join me if you want."

Kai walked over and sat next to Lloyd. "Everyone wondered where you went, after we couldn't find you I left I told them I needed to clear my head." Kai lied down.

Lloyd slowly lied back down next to him, they both had their arms down by their sides. Their arms were touching. The feeling of having Kai next to Lloyd made his heart pounce inside.

"It's peaceful isn't it..." Kai watched the clouds.

"Yeah,it is." Lloyd smiled.

"Do you come up here often?" Kai asked turning his head to Lloyd.

Lloyd turned his head to Kai. "Yeah,I do."

"That's why you go missing all the time?"

"Yup." Lloyd nodded his head slightly.

"I only come up here to clear my head." Kai admitted.

"Is there something on your mind?" Lloyd asked.

"Yeah I guess you could say that." Kai turned his head away from Lloyd.

Lloyd found this strange. "Do...you want to talk about it?"

"Well..I don't know." Kai sighed. He looked back at Lloyd.

"If you don't want to it's fine." Lloyd said quickly.

"Okay, I'll tell you parts of it." Kai took a deep breathe.

"It's more of a someone, that's been on my mind." Kai's face became a slight tone of red.

Lloyd noticed. "Do you like this someone?"

Kai nodded slowly. "I have for a while now." Kai's face became more red.

"Is it Skylar?"

"No..." Kai turned his head away from Lloyd.

"Okay. I'm guessing I don't know them. I won't ask anymore." Lloyd yawned,

Having Kai close to Lloyd, still, made Lloyd's heart race even faster. Kai could hear his heart pound.

"Are you okay Lloyd?" Kai turned his head back over to Lloyd. Lloyd nodded.

"Uh. Yeah."

"I can hear your heart racing." Kai said. "Are you scared of something?"

Lloyd blushed lightly. "No."

Kai saw his blush. He smiled mischievously. "Does Lloyd have a crush?" He teased.

Lloyd's face glowed red. "No..." He lied.

Kai chuckled. "Oh really. So, why are you blushing?"

"I'm not!"

"You are!" Kai teased again.

Lloyd groaned. "Fine yes I do."

"Can you tell Kai who your crush is...?" Kai put on his puppy eyes.

Lloyd stared into them. "It's..." He almost gave in. "Someone you don't know." He lied.

Kai smiled. "Okay!" Kai then winked at Lloyd. "You're secret is safe with me!"

Lloyd blushed even harder when Kai winked at him. Kai sat up. "I'll talk with you later. See you at lunch!"Kai got up and went back down to the lower deck.

Lloyd sighed with relief. 'That was close...but when he winked it was kinda cute...'

Lloyd sighed. He had butterflies. He closed his eyes, he once again listened to the nature.


It was lunch time. Everyone was at the table except Lloyd.

"Where is green machine?" Cole asked.

"I am not sure." Zane said.

"Neither am I." Jay and Nya said."What about you Sensei Wu?"

"I have not seen him since earlier today." Wu admitted.

"Same goes for me." Garmadon said.

"Kai?"

Kai looked up. "I think I know where he is.I'll go get him." Kai stood up and left the kitchen.

He began walking to the upper deck. 'Why hasn't he come down yet?' Kai opened the hatch to the upper deck.

He saw Lloyd lying on the deck floor. He sighed.

"Lloyd?" Kai got no response.

He walked over to Lloyd, he had his eyes closed. He could hear soft snores. Kai smiled. "He fell asleep."

Kai got on his knees next to Lloyd. He shook him gently. "Lloyd you peanut wake up!"

Lloyd slowly cracked his eyes open, "Huh...?"

Kai chuckled, "You fell asleep."

Lloyd sat up. "Sorry." He yawned.

"Lunch is ready." Kai got up and then helped Lloyd up. "Come on."

Lloyd took a deep breath. "Kai wait. I need to tell you something..."
