Kinda forgot I’d started writing this but have this adorable little fic of Sleepy Lloyd
Inspired by this post
Kai couldn't remember who actually started the game it had been going on that long. But it was a good game. And he was totally going to win.
Lloyd, the dorkiest kid he had ever known, could, would and has fallen asleep in some of the most random places. He was continually being found snoozing in the crow's nest. He'd been caught at least once a week up there, but Kai would put money on it happening way more often. The kid was like a cat.
Nya had shown him a picture of Lloyd curled up on top of the dining table. Why the kid thought that was a good idea was beyond either of them. Kai had shown her a picture of him laid out across the seats underneath the table. Zane had chipped in one of him in the cupboard with a cookie in hand.
Jay had half a dozen pictures of Lloyd curled up on the training deck, curled up at the base of one of the dummies. Cole had topped all 6 versions of the photo with a picture of him asleep curled up on the top of the dummy. Kai hadn't been able to resist knocking them all over with a picture of the kid folded in half, hanging over one of the dummies 'arms'. Jay had been mildly horrified.
Everyone had at least a dozen or two of the green ninja curled up in the hallway, or in the wrong bed. And if your vehicle had two seats? Lloyd had to drive if you didn't want him napping. Zane had two pictures of Lloyd asleep in the bathroom, one in the bathtub and one on top of the sink. And if those instances weren't weird enough, Kai could also think of least 5 times that they'd all searched for him only for him to wander into the room with a yawn. Who knew where the kid had curled up.
And so the game continued.
Lloyd had been found in a wide variety of places, from on top of bookshelf's, to curled up on the top shelf of various cupboards. The kid had been found napping on his dragon mid-flight. How that was even possible was anyone's guess. So far the winner was going to be Cole, who had a picture of Lloyd sleeping standing up leaning against his sword. Kai was determined to win yet.
Heading into the room the ninja boys shared Kai dropped down on his bunk. Reaching behind his mattress he searched for the candy bar he'd hidden from Jay and Lloyd. Searching blindly with his hand he glanced around the room double checking for unwanted eyes.
Kai Froze.
No way.
How had the kid even gotten up there?
Abandoning his search for the candy, he fumbled for his phone and snapped a quick picture and dashed out of the room.
Crashing through the various rooms, he finally found the majority of the ninja in front of the TV cheering as Nya obliterated Jay in video games.
"You'll never believe where I just found Lloyd napping! Heck, I barely believe it!" Jay threw down the remote.
"Anything to distract from my imminent and total defeat!" he declared standing up.
Nya chuckled as she landed a final and devastating blow to Jay's prone character.
Flicking from his camera to his photo album Kai brought up the picture of Lloyd. "That should not be possible," Zane commented mildly.
"Is that in our room?" Cole asked grabbing the phone and looking carefully. "Is it decided that the kids in-human yet?" Jay queried.
"What's going on?"
The boys jumped as Lloyd wandered into the room with a yawn.
"Nothing!" Kai helped.
Kai snatched back his phone and quickly locked the screen. Mya chuckled at the boy's antics. Kai shot her a betrayed look.
"Oh. What was with all the crashing about then?"
"Uuuuhhhh I was looking for... Jay!"
"And that couldn't be done like a normal human?"
"I thought he stole my candy bar?"
"The one you hid under your mattress?"
"Yea- wait. How did you know about that."
".....I'm a ninja?"
"... You have three seconds to start running kid."
Lloyd didn't need further prompting.
The remaining ninja sighed.
And then winced as a crashing noise came from the kitchen.
Reluctantly Cole stood up.
"I guess I'll go pull them apart. Again."
It just wasn't the bounty without stuff getting smashed.
Or Lloyd falling asleep in the weirdest of places.
