Why And How Am I In Ninjago!? | Lloyd x OC

Chapter 99: Side Story: The Date 1



[Maturity Warning]

It might not happen in every chapter that it will be 18+, but I will add a small warning whenever a chapter has something mature in it. (if needed)

The warnings I'll put up when a chapter has a mature topic (even if short) in it will be something like this:

[18+ Warning], or [Maturity Warning] or any other "Warning"

[18+ Warning] means that the chapter has a sex scene that will be skipped, of course.

[Maturity Warning] means there will be some spicy stuff happening, but not to the point of there being any sex.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

"For the last time, Nya! I am not wearing that!" Nova's voice could be heard throughout the monastery as Nya had gone on to help Nova get dressed for her date with Lloyd.

But Nova wasn't making it any easier since she refused to wear anything that was a dress or even high heels. That just wasn't her style at all. Nya wasn't going to let her leave her room until she was all dressed and ready.

"Come on, Nova, stop being a baby. You're a woman now, so you should try and dress like one if you are to charm your man," said Nya, placing her hands on her hips while raising an eyebrow.

"Jeez, Nya, you sound like my mother." Nova facepalmed with a heavy sigh. I just want to wear something simple and comfortable, nothing fancy, as I can't stand it."

"Hmmm, or is it because you are too shy to wear something more elegant in front of Lloyd, who is more used to you wearing ninja clothes all the time?" Nya questioned.

Nova's face started turning red as she avoided Nya's gaze. "....No."

A cheshire smile grew on Nya's face as she watched Nova's reaction. "Oh, I see now. You are more of a shy type regarding romance. Well, color me surprised. Who would have thought little Miss Hot-headed is a shy person?"

Nova's face grew more red as she folded her hands together. "Nya, please..... stop the teasing. I'm already very nervous about this date; it doesn't help that you dig into my more personal side."

"Okay, okay, I'll stop. But it at least explains some of your reactions when you're with Lloyd," said Nya, and went on to look at some other clothes. "Well, with this in mind, we can look at something else to help you feel more confident and safe to wear."

"Thanks, Nya," said Nova, sitting on her bed while she let Nya find something to wear.

"Hey, it's not a problem. After all, you two deserve it," said Nya, pulling out some clothes. "How about these? It's nice and comfortable for a date and not that fancy."

"It's showing too much skin for my liking," said Nova as she looked at the clothes.

"Fine, I'll keep searching," said Nya as she returned to the closet. "But you know, I don't think Lloyd would care much about you wearing some clothes that show some skin."

"I don't like having eyes all over me; it makes me feel..... vulnerable, and it doesn't help that we can't have any weapons with us," said Nova.

"Nova, it's a date, not a battle. Besides me, the boys have already told you two. We will take care of any danger while you two enjoy your date together." said Nya.

"It feels like a battle to me..... I'm scared of messing something up and ruining the date, like my anger and random outbursts. Or my habit of stealing." said Nova, tapping her foot as she became restless.

"Hey, knowing Lloyd, I'm pretty sure he should be able to handle it already," said Nya, coming over with some other clothes. "Okay, how about these instead? Comfortable, doesn't show much skin, not the fancy type, and would look very cute on you."

Nova looked at the clothes for a good moment before a small smile grew on her face. "Yeah, I like those clothes."

"Alright, sister, get yourself changed. After that, I'll help set your hair and add the makeup," said Nya.

Nova groans as she gets up from the bed. "Not the makeup, Nya; I just wanna be my normal self without makeup and fancy clothes and high heels." She took the clothes and got changed.

"Jeez, Nova, you're very picky about your looks. But that's fine; it's your date, so I wouldn't push it this time," said Nya.

Nova let out a small giggle as she finished getting changed. "Thanks, Nya."

"Now sit down so I can set your hair," said Nya.

"Yeah, yeah, Mom," said Nova and sat down.

*One hour later.*

"Alright, we're finished! And I must say, you look amazing," said Nya, smiling at Nova.

Nova rubbed the back of her neck, giving a small smile. "Thanks for the help, Nya. I hope Lloyd thinks the same thing."

"Sister, he is gonna be blown away, by you, now come on. I think we've let the boys wait long enough." said Nya, and started pushing Nova out of the room.

*Outside the Monastery.*

"Nya! Would you stop pushing me already!" said Nova as she being pushed until they were outside and saw the others already waiting.

"Took you two long enough." said Kai.

"Wow! Am I seeing things, or is that really Nova? She looks so different I could hardly recognize her! said Jay surprised.

"Damn, Nya, you really went all out on her." said Cole.

"Lloyd, will be in for a surprise when he sees her." said Zane.

Nova started growing shy by everyone's compliments, as she crossed her arms and looked away with a red face.

And talking about Lloyd, he finally showed up. Wear a green hoodie, with some jeans and sneakers as he walked over. But stopped in his pace when he saw Nova.

Nova didn't need to look, to know that he was staring at her, and it was making her more nervous. She started fidgeting the sleeve of her shirt.

"Beautiful." Lloyd didn't know what else to say but that, and it made Nova start blushing.

Kai cleared his throat, getting everyones attention. "Alright everyone, let's get the lovebirds to Ninjago City so they can get on their date, before it gets late."

*After arriving at Ninjago City, the ninjas left Lloyd and Nova for their date.*

"Have fun you two!" shouted the ninjas, as they left them.

"Well, the new Starfarer movie starts in about 30 minutes, so we should probably get moving before it starts." said Lloyd, taking Nova's hand and began leading the way.

"Y-yeah." said Nova as she walked with him to the movie theater, but didn't say anything since she couldn't come up with a topic.

Lloyd glanced over at Nova, and noticed that she seemed a lot more quiet, and nervous. Which wasn't like her at all until now. "Hey, moonie."

"Hm?" Nova slowly looked over at him with a raised eyebrow. "What?"

"You don't have to be nervous, it's just like all the other times we are together. So if it helps, why not see this as our personal ninja mission." Lloyd gave her a reasuring smile, as he squeezed her hand gently.

That got a small giggle out of Nova, as she had to use her free hand to cover her mouth. Wu had giving her a special tea that helped heal her cracks so she wouldn't have to worry about those on the date. "How can a date be a ninja mission?"

"Who said, a date can't be ninja mission with just two people." said Lloyd smiling at her, to which she returned. It wasn't long until they arrived at the movie theater, and thanks to, Lloyd trying to calm down, Nova. She now felt a lot more comfortable and not as shy and nervous like she was earlier.

"You get the tickets, greenie, while I go and get us some drinks and popcorns." said Nova smiling at him before leaving to get them the stuff.

Lloyd chuckles as he watched her more cheerful side having returning. "Alright, moonie." He went on to get their tickets.

After getting the tickets and snacks, they went on to the room the movie will be playing in, and found their seats that was mostly in the middle of the room.

*Soon enough the movie started.*

Nova smiled watching the movie with Lloyd, as she was sipping her drink. "This is nice, my first date ever, and so far I haven't messed up." She went to grab some popcorns, but felt someone else's hand also going for them.

She glanced over and saw that Lloyd had already tried going for the popcorns, she couldn't help but let out a giggle at this. "Two minds, think alike."

"Looks like it." said Lloyd before laying an arm over her, pulling her a little closer towards him.

Nova couldn't help but blush at this action, though she didn't mind it as she went on to grab some popcorns while watching the rest of the movie.

"I didn't get to say it back at the monastery, but I really like your looks. It makes you look very beautiful, and almost took my breath away." Lloyd told her, as he began fidgeting with some of her hair.

Nova's face turned more red as she listened. "T-thanks, I had Nya helping me."

"Yeah, I could hear you shouting at her, about something you didn't want to wear." Lloyd chuckled.

"W-well, she was suggesting outfits that I didn't wanna wear. So it was getting a little annoying." Nova pouted a little.

Lloyd let out a soft laugh at that, as he could just imagine that. "I can see that." He glanced over at her. "But she did forget something."

Nova raised an eyebrow as she turned to look at him. "Like what?"

"I'm not gonna tell you that silly." said Lloyd.

Nova narrowed her eyes at him, and crossed her arms. "Lloyd, tell me."

"Nope, not telling you." said Lloyd, chuckling as he watched her getting more curious, though for others it might seem like she was getting angry, which was kind of half true.

Nova huffed at this, but decided to let it go as she didn't want to ruin their date because of something like this. "Fine."

"I'll tell you later, moonie." Lloyd pulled her closer and kissed cheek.

A slight blush grew on Nova's face, but she didn't complain. As she put her focus back on the movie.

*After the movie ended.*

"That was a good movie, though I've gotta say. The ending was kind of lame." said Lloyd, while wrapping an arm around Nova, pulling her closer.

"Yeah, I have to agree. I mean they were so close to making it the perfect movie, with the ending and yet they went the complete wrong way. Making it boring." Nova pouted a little but cheered up a little when she got pulled closer to him.

Lloyd kissed her head as he started walking with her. "Let's just forget about that ending, and move on to the next part of the date."

Nova nods, walking with him. "There should be a good cafe somewhere in this city, last I checked at least." She looked around until she saw one. "Over there."

Lloyd turned his attention to where she as pointing and gave a smile. "Lead the way, princess."

Nova glared at him. "At this point, I'm starting to think you are just calling me that, to get my attention."

"Am I?" Lloyd had a smirk growing on his face, as he moved closer.

Nova started blushing and turned her head away from him. "You so are, boogers."

"I'm sorry, I don't think I heard that. Could you please turn your head and say it again." said Lloyd.

Nova turned her head to look at him. "I sai—" She was caught off guard, as she was pulled into a kiss.

The kiss lasted a hot minute, before Lloyd pulled away smiling down at her red face.

Nova was blushing like crazy, looking at him but didn't know what to say after that kiss.

Lloyd chuckled at her reaction, and went on towards the cafe with her.

"Jerk." Nova mumbled, but didn't really mind it. She was just caught off guard.

"I love you too, moonie." Lloyd opened the doors to the cafe, walking inside with her as they went and found themselves a table by a window.

Nova picked up the menu, looking at some of the drinks while bitting her lower lip. She didn't want to say it out loud, but she wish the kiss had lasted a little longer.

"I think I'm going for a hot chocolate, what about you, Ocea?" Lloyd looked over at Nova who was sitting across for him.

"I'm gonna go for a milkshake." said Nova, putting down her menu smiling at him.

"Alright, I'll go and pay for our orders, while you wait here." said Lloyd, getting up from his seat and walked over to the counter to pay.

Nova let out a heavy sigh she didn't even know she was holding in. "I can't believe I'm actually on a real date. In all of my life I never thought this would happen." A small smile grew on her face. "I've never felt this happy about something, it's like a dream for me."

Soon enough Lloyd came back with their drinks and sat down, smiling at her.

"That was quick." said Nova.

"Yeah, I said the same thing. Looks like these guys really know when to serve on time." said Lloyd before taking a sip of his hot chocolate.

"Looks like it." said Nova drinking her milkshake happily, enjoying it.

She let out a giggle as she saw him getting a mustache from the hot chocolate.

 "What? What, so funny?" Lloyd questioned, in confusion.

"It looks weird seeing you having a mustache." said Nova giggling.

"Huh, if you find it so weird, why don't you help me get it off?" Lloyd raised a teasing eyebrow.

"No, I'm pretty sure you can do it yourself." said Nova.

"Hmm, I guess I'll just keep it for the rest of the date then." said Lloyd.

Nova narrowed her eyes at him. "I'll shave it, along with your hair if you keep doing."

Lloyd leaned forward on the table, with his head resting in his hands. "We both know it's just an empty threat, moonie. Beside you like my hair."

Nova pouted as she crossed her arms, hating that he was right. "Fine, you win this time, greenie." She grabbed a napkin and began to lean forward to clean it off, but once again she was caught off guard with another kiss.

Lloyd smiled as they kissed, and gently took her hand that was holding the napkin, putting it down as he looked into her eyes. Not breaking the kiss for a good while until they both needed air.

Nova's face was all red, and surprised by this. She had wanted the kiss from earlier to be longer and she got it.

Lloyd licked his lips as he chuckled at her surprised expression. "I think you got something on your lips, moonie."

Nova quickly looked away as she went on to use the napkin on herself instead, while still blushing like crazy.

"How about we finish our drinks and get to the amusement park, after that we can go for dinner." said Lloyd, leaning back in his seat, with a big smile on his face.

"S-sure, sounds like a plan to me." said Nova, playing a bit with her hair as she drank her milkshake.

Lloyd chuckle at her shyness, finding it very cute and added to her beautiful charm. "Nova?"

Nova glanced over at him with a raised eyebrow. "Yes?"

"I love you." said Lloyd giving her a charming smile.

Nova gave shy smile. ".....I love you too."

Lloyd went on to finish his drink and waited for Nova to finish hers so they could go.

After Nova finished her drink, they both got up from their seat and walked out of the cafe.

"That was a nice place, we should come here again some time." said Lloyd, taking Nova's hand as they walked.

"Maybe we could bring the others next time." said Nova.

"Hmmm, or we could make it our personal place." said Lloyd, giving her a wink.

Nova's face instandly turned red. "W-what do you mean by that?"

"What do you think I mean? It's a perfect place, where just the two of us can enjoy ourselves with some drinks, without worrying about danger." said Lloyd.

"Oh, yeah that does sound nice." said Nova giving a smile.

"Did you think I meant something else?" Lloyd gave her a mischievous smile.

"No! Of course not." Nova answered a bit too quickly.

"Hmm, is that so." said Lloyd, as he went on leading her to the park.

"This isn't the way to the amusement park, Lloyd." said Nova.

"No, but it's a shortcut. I found out it was the fastest way to get there without much trouble." Lloyd told her.

"When did you have time to figure that out?" Nova questioned, as they entered the park. She couldn't help but admire the scenery, since she had never really taken the time to check out some of these places.

"When Master Wu was giving you that tea to help with your cracks, I decided to scout out the city for a bit and see what would be the fastest. But also simplest way to get around, without much trouble" Lloyd explained, looking over at her.

"Huh, good idea." said Nova, still looking around at everything.

"If you want, we can hang around here for a bit, we aren't in any hurry." said Lloyd, stopping to look at her and see what she wanted.

Nova looked around her and then up at Lloyd. "Sure, I wouldn't mind staying here for a bit."

Lloyd had a soft look in his eyes, smiling at her. "Then how about we find somewhere to sit and relax."

"Okay." said Nova, smiling at him happy. She took a good look around them, until she saw a bench under some cherry blossom trees. "Over there." She started dragging him with her as she picked up the pace.

Lloyd let out a chuckle, having her drag him along to the bench where to could sit down.

Nova smiled as they got to the bench and sat down to relax and enjoy the view. "This is nice, I never knew that was a park like this one here in the city."

"You've stolen a lot of stuff in this city, and yet you never took a break to just sit back and take in the view?" Lloyd questioned, leaning back in while laying an arm over Nova.

Nova gave a sheeplish smile, rubbing the back of her neck. "No, never." She watched a few ducks, swimming around in a small pond. "I was always wearing my mask, so the law would be after me... and I was scared of you guys seeing me without the mask on."

"But you aren't Delta anymore, and we know that you are alive now. So what's stopping you for just enjoying life?" Lloyd questioned, moving a little closer.

Nova looked down at her hands for a moment. "I don't really know."

"Moonie, look at me." Nova slowly turned her head to look at him. "You don't have to be afraid, I'm right here for you, so you can always come to me with anything."

"I know Lloyd.... it's just not easy for me to be open about things." said Nova.

"Then take it slow, one thing at the time, no need to rush." Lloyd leaned in and kissed her.

Nova blushed, but took it better this time as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Pulling him closer.

Lloyd wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her closer against him as he deeping the kiss. He used his other hand to run his fingers though her hair, and slowly had her laying on the bench with him on top of her.

Nova could feel her heart pounding in her chest as the kissing got more intimate, with him now on top of her. They broke the kiss for a hot minute to catch their breath as they looked into each other's eyes.

Lloyd was looking down at her red face, breathing heavily as he was taking in the view of her whole body under him. "You really are beautiful, moonie." He leaned back down and kissed her again.

Nova couldn't get a word out before he kissed her again, which she didn't mind as she returned the gesture. She had her hands go under his hoodie, and could already feel his muscles and abs over the extra shirt his was wearing.

Lloyd let out a chuckle, when he felt her hands running over his body. He slowly broke the kiss. "found something of interest, moonie?"

Nova grew more red and quickly move her hands away. "N-no."

"You sure?" Lloyd whispered against her ear, sending a shiver through out her body. She began pushing him away, as she sat back up.

"W-we should p-probably get going." said Nova, getting up from the bench.

Lloyd shook his head with an amused smile before getting up. "Okay." He said taking her hand. "We can always get back to this later." He whispered into her ear, before giving it a nibble. Making her let out a squeal and move away.

"C-c-can we just get g-g-going already." Nova pouted with a red face.

"Alright, alright, I'll stop for now." Lloyd began leading her through the rest of the park, until they were out of it. After that they walked through a few streets until they finally got to the amusement park.

Nova's mood changed to more happy when they got to the amusement park. "The place is so big, I'm not sure what we should try first."

"I think I have an idea on what we can start with first." Lloyd walked over and got them two tickets, now walking inside the amusement park.

"Like what?" Nova looked up at him curiously.

"Why don't I show you." said Lloyd, leading her over to one of those games, where you could win a prize.

Nova raised an eyebrow at this, until she noticed one of the prizes they could win was a red panda plushie, which was one of the animals she had mention to Lloyd was her favorite animal.

She looked over at Lloyd who had a big grin on his face. "What do you say, moonie?"

"Oh, I'm so getting that plushie. Whatever it takes." said Nova with a big smirk.

"Then this should be easy for you." Lloyd walked over to pay for five rings each, so both of them had a chance to try.

Nova smiled taking her five rings and looked over at the different colored pins, depending on which color she landed on would give more points.

"Ladies first." said Lloyd standing to the side.

"Why thank you, my good sir." said Nova and threw her first ring landing on a pin giving her two points.

"Looks like your aim are getting a little rusty." Lloyd teased.

Nova rolled her eyes playfully as she was rolling her shoulder. "Don't count your horses yet, hot shot, I'm only warming up." She looked at the other pins and took in a deep breath, before throwing her second ring, landing right in the middle giving her five points.

Lloyd let out a long whistle. "Not bad, though your throwing still need to working on."

"If you think I need to work more on my throws, then why don't you show me how to really do it." Nova moved to the side, giving him the space to give it a shot.

"Alright, watch a master at work, butterfly." Lloyd got in position, and threw three rings into the middle pin. Earning on fifteen points.

Nova let out a huff. "Show off." She pouted, before pushing him to the side.

"You just don't wanna admit that you lack training." Lloyd chuckled.

Nova glared at him before then pulling up her last three rings. "Yeah, right." She focused in on the middle pin, and threw her rings. Two of them landed in the middle while the third landed on the second to the middle pin. Rounding up her points to twenty.

"As I said, lack of training." Lloyd teased, walking over to throw his last two rings, which of course, both landed in the middle. Give him twenty-five points, which was the max.

Nova crossed her arms as she pouted, not happy that she lost to such a simple game of tossing rings.

Lloyd chuckled at her annoyance, but went on to take the red panda and walked over to her with it. Which seemed to cheer her up as she took it.

"Don't be that upset, moonie. If you like, I can help you out and give a few pointers." Lloyd kissed her forehead before taking her hand and walking away from the game.

Nova still pouted a little but a small smile slowly took it's place. "Fine, but only because you are offering." She hold her new plushie close, happy that she still got it.

Lloyd rolled his eyes playfully but let it slide since she was in a good mood again. "Okay, I'll let you pick what we try next."

She took a good look at all of the other rides, until she sound of screaming caught her attention. She looked up and saw that it was a huge roller coaster. "I wanna try that one next."

Lloyd looked at where she was pointing and let out a chuckle. "Think you can handle such a ride?"

"If I can handle all the chaos we go through on our missions, I'm pretty sure I can handle a simple roller coaster ride." said Nova, taking a glance at him. "Unless, the green ninja is scared of a small ride?" She teased.

"Me scared of a ride like that, please, if I was scared of such a ride I wouldn't be the green ninja." Lloyd smiled at her as they headed over to the line, which wasn't that long thankfully so they were able to get on right away.

"Better hold on to the plushie so you don't lose it." said Lloyd.

"Hmm, or I could do this." said Nova as she was able to summon a shadow clone, and gave the plushie.

"Has the pain and cracking stopped?" Lloyd asked.

Nova gave a small shrug. "Not fully, but the tea Master Wu gave me has helped, so as long I don't use too much of my elemental powers. I should be fine."

"That's good to know, but do let me know if you start feeling any pain or see any cracks." said Lloyd, as the ride started going up.

"I will." said Nova, soon enough they reach the top of and then the ride headed straight down at full speed.

Nova was laughing in pure joy, having a lot of fun along with Lloyd on the wild roller coaster ride. Until the ride was finally over, and they had to get off.

"That was so fun!" Nova laughed happily at Lloyd before taking her plushie back from her clone that went back to the shadows.

Lloyd had a soft smile on his face seeing how happy Nova was, she almost felt like a different person by how cheerful and smiling she was.

"What is it Lloyd?" Nova asked as she noticed him just staring at her, as the light from the sun was hitting her just right.

"Beautiful." said Lloyd wrapping his arms around her. "What did I do to deserve you."

Nova's face started growing red and didn't know how to answer him.

He let out a chuckle by how cute she looked when blushing, he kissed her cheek before keeping one arm around her as they walked.

"S-so what should we try next?" Nova asked, while fidgeting with her red panda plushie.

"Hmm." Lloyd looked around and notice the sun was slowing going down. "I know." Before Nova knew it, he had picked her up bride style and started running and jumping easily around the crowds and ride to get to somewhere he had in mind.

"L-Lloyd!?" shouted Nova surprised by this, as she was now being carried around in his arms until she was finally put down.

"W-what the hell Lloyd, at least warn me next time." Nova sighs deeply, before she noticed what ride he had brought her to, which was a ferris wheel.

"I thought this might be the perfect ride before going for our dinner." said Lloyd, smiling at her.

"Oh, I see, but you could have just told me, instead of carring me around like that." said Nova.

"Where would the fun be in that?" Lloyd taunted before taking her hand and walking over.

"You're such an ass." said Nova rolling her eyes.

"Says the person dating this ass." Lloyd threw back at her, with a smirk.

Nova blushed, turning her head away to avoid his gaze.

Lloyd got them a ride for themselves, and went to sit down together as they watched the view.

Nova was fidgeting with her plushie, as she felt herself getting a little nervous on not knowing what to talk about.

"So, what do you think of the date so far, Ocea?" Lloyd asked, noticing her getting nervous.

Nova looked over at him, and gave a shy smile, rubbing the back of her neck. "I think it's going great, better than I thought it would."

"I'm happy to hear that, I was kind of worried I might mess it up somehow, you know since this is also my first date." said Lloyd scratching his head.

Nova gave him a look as she raised her eyebrow. "I know that, but for anyone else they wouldn't believe this was your first date. By how you were acting."

"Acting how?" Lloyd asked.

"Well, you know, kind of taking the lead on everything in this date... and what happened back at the park." Nova tried explaining as her face grew more red when she mentioned the park.

"Hmm, I guess being used to being the leader of our team, it just became natural to me." said Lloyd, before wrapping an arm around her and pulling her closer. "As for the thing over at the park, I guess I just couldn't resist this beauty in front of me." He placed a kiss on her neck, causing her to blush and let out a squeal trying to break free. Not used to this.

"L-Lloyd..." Nova tried to speak but it was hard getting a word out, as he kept kissing around her neck to the point she couldn't resist it anymore and let out a soft moan. She quickly covered her mouth with her hand as her face was red as a tomato.

Lloyd stopped kissing her neck when he heard the sound she just made, looking at her now red face with her hand covering her mouth.

Nova quickly pushed him way, as her face kept staying red and she had to avoid his gaze. "...W-we aren't talking about this."

Lloyd decided not to mention anything, and went on to give her some space to calm down over what just happened.

The rest of their ride went on in silence without either of them speaking, until they finally got off which at this point were already night time.

Lloyd was the first to speak as he cleared his throat. "I already have a place for us ready."

Nova looked over at him slightly and gave a short nod.

"I think you're gonna really like it." said Lloyd smiling at her before once again picking her up bride style. "Hold on tight."

Lloyd started running into the city and getting up on roof until they landed at an abandon bacony covered in hanging lights, a blanket on the floor and all of Nova's favorite things that she had mentioned.

"Whoa, Lloyd... this.... this is-when did you have time to set this all up?" Nova couldn't believe this as everywhere she looked she would find more stuff.

"I spent most of the early morning on this, and then I had some of the guys get the rest, while we were on our date." Lloyd explained before pulling a small box out. "And I got you one more thing."

"What, more?" Nova looked at him in surprise and didn't know what to think anymore.

Lloyd chuckled at her expressions. "Yes, but I'll need you to close your eyes."

"O-okay." Nova said before closing her eyes, getting really nervous on what this could be. She almost couldn't hear his footsteps as he moved behind her, and soon enough she felt something behind placed around her neck.

"You can look, now." said Lloyd smiling at her.

Nova opened her eyes and was surprised to see that he had put a beautiful butterfly necklace on her.

(couldn't find a good purple and green one, so we can just say it changed colors in the light.)

(image)

"L-Lloyd it's beautiful, I-I don't know what else to really say." Nova watched as the color of the butterfly necklace changed from purple to green in the light, making it feel even more special.

Tears began forming in Nova's eyes as this was the first time anyone had ever done something like this for her. She wrapped her arms around Lloyd, hugging him tightly as tears ran down her face. "Thank you so much Lloyd, I really don't deserve all of this. But thank you, I love you so much."

Lloyd smiled as he wrapped his arms around her, holding her close as he was happy she liked what he had planned for her and this date. "I love you just as much, my beautiful butterfly, and I'm glad you like it. You deserve all of it after everything you've been through."

Nova let out a soft giggle. "I knew you had something planning, when you asked all of those questions." She slightly punched his chest as she looked up at him.

"Well, I wasn't lying completely, I did wanna know more about you." said Lloyd giving her kiss before going on to sit down with her. "Now, how about we dig in before it all gets cold."

Nova gave a slight nod and went on to eat some of the pizza, and snacks that was on the picnic blanket, along with drinking some soda.

After they had finished eating they went on to watch the night sky above them.

"This has been the best date ever." said Nova smiling happy.

"It sure has." said Lloyd smiling mischievously as he started kissing her neck.

"L-Lloyd." Nova tried moving away but she was stuck in his arms with her back against his chest.

"Come on, relax a bit Ocea, you've been pretty tense through the date." said Lloyd in between kissing her neck, before slowly up having her turn around and moved up to kissing her on the lips.

Nova wanted to protest, but didn't have the energy for it. She rolled her eyes when he kissed her but returned the gesture as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

Lloyd smiled as they kissed and went to deepen it by letting his tongue run over her lips, until they gave space for his tongue enter her mouth while they kissed. Nova was a little surprised by this but didn't mind it.

Nova went on to have her hands go under his hoodie and shirt, her fingers ever so gently running over his muscles. She knew he was strong, but being able to actually feel his real muscles was so different.

Lloyd held back a chuckle from her fingers touching his skin, as he had one of his hands run over her body, touching ever so slightly before going under her shirt and began exploring the upper part of her body. It sent shivers through Nova's body as a moan escaped her lips.

Lloyd not able to hold it in anymore let out a chuckle as he broke the kiss and stared into Nova's eyes.

Nova's face was red as a tomato but she wasn't all that shy like she was before though still a little nervous.

"We should probably stop here, before we get too ahead of ourselves." said Lloyd, removing his hand from under her shirt.

"Oh, umm y-yes. W-w-whould be hard to explain things to the others if w-we went further." Nova slowly moved away while retrieving her hands. Though she couldn't help but shiver a little.

"Are you freezing?" Lloyd asked, as he noticed her shivering a bit.

"It's just the wind, it's not that bad." said Nova, even though she was rubbing her arms.

Lloyd rolled his eyes before taking off his hoodie, so he was just wearing a plain white shirt. "Here, put this on."

Nova looked at him and then at his hoodie. "But if I take it, wouldn't you get cold?"

"I'm gonna be fine, moonie. I can handle a bit of cold, now put it on before I have to make you." said Lloyd, putting the hoodie into her hands.

"F-fine, but don't come complaining to me if you start freezing." said Nova as she put on the green hoodie, which was still warm from him wearing it and it had his scent, already making her feel more comfortable. She let out a small yawn as all of this excitement had really tired her out.

"Get some sleep, Nova, I'll call the others and let them know to pick us up." said Lloyd, pulling her into his arms.

Nova let out a yawn. "But I could just use the shadows to take us back home."

"I don't want you taking any risk when your powers are still unstable, butterfly. So just get some sleep while I handle the rest." said Lloyd, kissing the top of her head.

"Fine." said Nova, not up for fighting about this, as she closed her eyes and slowly started falling asleep in Lloyd's arms.
