A Story Idea

An idea about a gay boy at Darkleys who had a crush on Lloyd, he loved him more than anything and would regularly spy on him at lunch, class or breaks but doesn't have the courage to tell him in fear of what his classmates would think. And like this boy is hella gay for our future green ninja, stuttering and blushing whenever he's around Lloyd and hiding his face shyly when Greenie asks him to borrow a pen.

One day he would pluck up the courage (after like two years of hiding his love) to tell Lloyd about his crush, so he got ready early, made Lloyd a card and his favourite candy (every 8-9 year olds dream) and prepared to tell him in private at lunch about his feelings.

However, when he takes his crush aside to tell him, this is where it goes south. He admits his feelings his heart pounding and his hopes high, while Lloyd's friends, Brad, Gene and whoever else are listening in.

Before Lloyd could say anything his friends burst out into laughter and run up to them and starts making fun of the boy who feels ashamed and looks at Lloyd feeling hopeful.

Unfortunately... Whether it's due to peer pressure, the fact that Lloyd wanted to be like his father or just generally because he was young, Lloyd joins in with his friends and sneers at him calling him homophobic names and scoffing at him saying that he'll never be loved because of what he is.

The heartbroken boy ran away from them, tears streaming down his face feeling embarrassed and beyond betrayed.

A couple years go by, Lloyd had left Darkley's claiming to follow in his father's footsteps, and the boys bullying never stopped, he was constantly harassed and made fun of for his sexuality making him want to hide away, sometimes it got violent and one time in particular he ended up with a scar going up to his cheek from his chin, he couldn't escape and was eventually put into a adoption center leaving Darkley's at 12 years old because he became orphaned.

When he heard about Lloyd becoming the green ninja, he felt hurt still, tracking every location and achievement Lloyd gets sourly, his mind feels corrupted and he turns to petty crime, it gets worse, hearing words of the Ninja's "heroism" and "kindness to all" he doesn't realize or think about how Lloyd has changed all he can think about is what happened all those years ago, as he gets older he doesn't move on it stays with him and he's definitely the Harumi-revenge-type.

It builds up to more severe crimes, but he's careful to avoid the ninja, rather being caught by the police, when he's old enough he leaves the adoption center and then starts plotting, plotting to become a villian, one that will get him noticed by the ninja and cause problems, one that will make the green ninja pay and for Ninjago to know what Lloyd is really like.

I haven't figured out everything out, like what kind of villian he would be, how it would work, but at one point there would be a reveal to Lloyd, and it would be all emotional as the boy (now man) let's out his feelings and bitterness of the day Lloyd rejected him, blaming him for the bullying. Of course deep inside, the reason the boy kept his revenge on Lloyd was because over all...he still loves him.

Lloyd won't be homophobic as the green ninja he probably realized his mistake when he grew older and he is NOT a bad person (as in the show's he's very accepting) apart from when he was younger this is just from the boys perspective, and Lloyd will be sympathetic, but his past will obviously cause problems as breaking someone's heart and homophobia does not mix well at all and is not acceptable.

What do you guys think? Idk I'm just letting out what's in my head after a similar experience

So in a Nutshell:

Lloyd gets pushed into bullying gay boi and gay boy becomes villian as revenge and to get Lloyd to pay more attention to him, and also to try and expose him, Lloyd feels guilty seeing him and stuff I haven't planned happens.

Feel free to imagine endings or events.
