Review replies (back by popular demand):
Angel: So you like cute things... hmm... and yeah, I read Second Wind. Mostly because Morro's in it. And I try to ignore the greenflame too. I would be fine with it if it weren't classified as "romance". Cause seriously it could be platonic. As for True Grit, it used to be better. :/ I'm not as interested in it now because it's just so tragic. It doesn't even feel like a Ninjago fanfiction anymore, it feels like a whole new story.
Samantha Rutledge: I saw it, but I don't know what it means! :/
Guest (1): Doing it? Doing what? Beating him up?
Guest (2): That sounds intresting. What other ghost do you mean? Are you the same as the other guest?
Windy: One of the reasons I look forward to the weekend now is because I know you'll be reading my stories. :) And I haven't forgotten that. I'll be writing it either tonight or tomorrow. ^ ^
So I looked up the word Ronin the other day, and apparently a ronin is a wandering Samurai with no lord or master. Which pretty much sums Ronin up. Funny, isn't it?
Ronin: That's my name, don't wear it out!
Me: Nah, that line is overused. Away with you!
Jealousy - Rated K+ - Hurt/Comfort/Humor
Summary: Lloyd feels left out when Morro spends most of his time with Indigo. NOT A YAOI~
Takes place: A little while after the end of RttCR (a lot of these are for some reason)
Jealousy
Lloyd ducked a projectile as it came at his head, rolling to the side. Gotta stay focused, he reminded himself. One bad shot, one misstep, and it would all be over. He jumped to the left as another shot flew by, spinning around to face his attacker. But it was too late. The next shot hit him squarely in the stomach, sending him flying backwards onto the floor.
"Ow..." he muttered, sitting up with a groan.
"Ha! You okay, Lloyd?" Jay called, grabbing another ball and flinging it at Kai, who ducked just in time. The residents of the monastery were playing "Ninjaball", a crazy, hyped-up version of dodgeball. They had started playing dodgeball a while ago, but kept changing the rules until Kai declared that it was a brand new game, which he dubbed Ninjaball. It was now one of their favorite training games.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Lloyd called back to the blue ninja. They had been known to accidentally injure each other while playing this game, so the traditional "you okay" was more of a necessity. Since he couldn't get back in the game until someone smacked Jay, Lloyd sat against a training dummy and watched the others play. Kai, Zane, and Ness were down, and were cheering for those who got them out to get hit. Jay was doing pretty well, due to his bouncy personality and hyper reflexes. Cole and him appeared to be locked in a death match, raining each other with a hail of balls that never seemed to find their target. Sensei Wu and Lloyd's dad were standing at the edge of the room, occasionally whacking balls back that flew at them, and Tellen and Anna were running around throwing balls at anything that moved. But Morro and Indigo were winning by far. Lloyd let out a frustrated sigh as his bright green eyes locked on the pair on the other side of the room, who kept throwing balls, oblivious to his staring. Indigo seemed to have mastered a new aspect of her powers, which was using momentum as energy. She sidestepped any balls that came at her and touched them as they went by, effectively stealing their energy and causing them to stop. She then picked up the ball and, with the extra energy she had just obtained, threw the ball back at her attacker hard enough to knock them down. As for Morro, nothing could hit him. Half the balls that came at him Indigo grabbed, and the other half he either diverted with a gust of wind or caught. But it wasn't their skill level that bothered the green ninja. It was the fact that they were fighting together. They were always together now. Training, eating, playing, hanging out, even sleeping. Lloyd had come across them one night recently snuggled up in Morro's bed together. Morro never had any time to hang out with Lloyd anymore. The blond ninja stared at the floor dejectedly, his mood ruined. After seeing that no one was watching, Lloyd quietly got to his feet and left the room.
Jealousy
"That was epic!" Indigo cheered as she left the training room with Morro. "They didn't stand a chance against us!"
"You know we're not supposed to team up, right?" Morro asked with a smile.
"Yeah, yeah. Lloyd said we could have "unspoken alliances", though. By the way, do you know where he went? He kinda vanished in the middle of the match." Morro hesitated for a moment, thinking back to the game, before shaking his head.
"No. I was paying more attention to not getting hit in the head with a ball." he smiled at her, but his smile faded when he noticed that she had stopped and was frowning. "Are you alright?" he asked, stepping back to stand next to her.
"I think he's mad at me." she murmured.
"Lloyd? Why?"
"I don't know. But recently he's seemed grumpy when I'm around, and I tried to talk to him yesterday but he just grumbled something an left. I haven't seen him acting like that around you or the others. Did I do something wrong?" she stared at the floor, not meeting his eyes.
"I don't think so. " Morro put an arm around her shoulders. "I'll go find him, okay? Do you want to ask him about it?" Indigo shook her head.
"I don't want to talk to him if he's mad at me. Could you ask him about it?"
"Of course." he nodded and she gave him a thankful smile as they walked back to her room.
Jealousy
Morro knocked on Lloyd's room door, wondering if the younger boy was inside. After leaving Indigo in her bedroom, the ghost boy had searched the monastery for almost ten minutes before hearing from Kai that the green ninja was in his room.
"Yeah?" Lloyd's voice came through the door in response to his knock. "Come in." Morro opened the door to see Lloyd lying on his bed, a comic book lying next to him. The young ninja's face lit up at the sight of him.
"What's up?" Lloyd asked, sitting up.
"I wanted to ask you something." Morro crossed the room and sat down on the bed. "Indigo says you've been acting strangely around her. She says you're mad at her. Is something wrong?" Lloyd's smile died at Indigo's name and he frowned.
"Sort of. I guess it's not really her fault."
"What isn't?"
"You. Both of you. You spend so much time with Indigo that you never do anything with me anymore." Lloyd looked down at the floor dejectedly. Morro raised an eyebrow.
"Are you jealous of my girlfriend?" he asked with a smirk.
"What? No! I mean, kind of, but... agh." Lloyd groaned. "I'm not in love with you, if that's what you're asking." he glared at the ghost, who was chuckling. "You have a dirty mind."
"Maybe I do. Seriously, though." Morro let the smiled on his face fade. "I'm sorry. I confess I've kinda forgotten about you." he admitted, averting his eyes. "I've been thinking about her too much." Lloyd didn't answer, just pulled his knees up to his chest. Morro's heart sank. He hadn't realized that he was hurting Lloyd like this. Lloyd had every right to be mad at him. "It's not Indigo's fault, though. It's mine."
"I understand that you wanna spend time with her." Lloyd said, staring at the floor. "She needs it more than I do."
"Maybe she does. But that doesn't mean I should ignore you." Morro closed his eyes. "I-I guess I just thought, with the other ninja here to keep you company..." he trailed off, his excuse wasn't good enough. "I'm sorry." it was a few moments before Lloyd replied.
"It's okay." Morro felt a hand on his shoulder. "I forgive you." he opened his eyes to see Lloyd smiling slightly. "Just remember to have some time for me, okay?"
"Sure." Morro mimicked the gesture, putting a hand on Lloyd's shoulder and squeezing it gently. Lloyd responded by letting go of him and hugging him, which Morro was glad to return.
"Just out of curiosity, how often do you and Indigo sleep in the same bed?" Lloyd asked innocently.
"W-what?" Morro felt himself blush. "What do you mean?"
"Ah, don't play dumb. I've seen you." he could hear a teasing tone in Lloyd's voice. "What were you doing with her, anyway?"
"Nothing- we weren't- agh." Morro groaned. "What?! You and I slept in the same bed when we were rescuing your father!"
"We're not dating." Lloyd pointed out.
"Indigo has nightmares sometimes." Morro defended himself. "Just like you and I do."
"But are you doing anything with her?" Lloyd leaned back, raising an eyebrow suggestively.
"No! And you say my mind is dirty." Morro grumbled as Lloyd began to laugh.
"Revenge." he snickered. Morro reached over and ruffled the younger boy's hair, making him yelp and fall off the bed. The green ninja smoothed his hair back down and jumped to his feet, mussing Morro's hair and jumping back before the ghost could stop him. Morro jumped up and tried to grab the young ninja, who dodged and fled through the open door. Morro chased him through the halls, stopping short as he spotted Indigo standing in the hall.
"Lloyd's not mad at you." he told her breathlessly. "He was actually mad at me."
"Why-" she started to say, but Morro cut her off as he spotted Lloyd again.
"I'll explain later!" he took off down the hall again after Lloyd, Indigo's laughter following him.
Creepy Indigo laughter confirmed.
Well that was cute. I hope Lloyd's okay, though.
Lloyd: HELP! MORRO'S CORNERED ME IN A CLOSET!
Kai: I'LL SAVE YOU!
Morro: GET OFF ME!
Me: I should probably go stop them... that is, if I weren't so mad at them for having dirty minds. lol. Well, bye!
