Hope you like this one, probably my favourite one to write yet ;)

As the laughter subsides, Lloyd takes a moment for introductions. "Y/N, meet Kai," he gestures towards the guy. Turning to Kai, he repeats the formality, "Kai, this is Y/N." Kai offers a casual "Yo, what's up?" while I respond with a shy "Hey." Despite my usual shyness, the atmosphere with Lloyd seems different, and I catch Lloyd's intrigued gaze observing our interaction. I brush it off, attributing it to his unfamiliarity with my reserved side.

"Did you hear Ninjago has a new ice rink?" Kai asked, to which Lloyd, intrigued, shook his head and said, "No, I did not." My excitement bubbled up; I'd never been ice skating and the idea thrilled me. I whispered to myself, "I want to go," and Lloyd, catching wind of it, casually responded, "Let's go, then." My eyes sparkled, and I jumped up and down in excitement. While Kai provided all the details to Lloyd, I was lost in my own daydream, imagining becoming a pro at ice skating.

As Kai offered his parting words and whispered something into Lloyd's ear with a mischievous wink, he left us in a slightly awkward yet amusing situation. Lloyd, caught off guard by Kai's comment, turned into various shades of red, his brows furrowing in confusion. Unable to contain myself, I couldn't help but giggle at the adorable and flustered expression on Lloyd's face.

Breaking the moment, Lloyd quickly regained composure and looked at me, asking, "Ready to go then?" His voice held a mix of excitement and a hint of bashfulness. I couldn't resist the opportunity to tease him a bit, so I responded with an exaggerated nod and a playful grin, "Absolutely, let's hit the ice!" The atmosphere lightened up, and we started making our way to the new ice rink, eager to embark on a new adventure together.

As we strolled towards the ice rink, Lloyd engaged in conversation, "So, have you ever been skating before?" I shook my head, a playful sparkle in my eyes, "No, but I'm so excited to go! I've always wanted to, but the opportunity never presented itself. How about you?" Lloyd responded with a confident smirk, "Oh yeah, I'm quite good at it. I've had my fair share on the ice." I couldn't resist a bit of friendly banter, so I challenged him, "Just watch, Lloyd. I'm going to be a natural on the ice." He hummed back with a twinkle in his eye, "Is that so?" I replied with unwavering confidence, "You bet. Watch and learn." The playful exchange set the tone for our impending adventure on the ice, each of us eager to showcase our skills.

I'll take back everything I said; turns out, I was not a natural or a pro on the ice. The moment I stepped onto the slippery surface, my feet betrayed me, and I found myself landing ungracefully on my backside. Lloyd couldn't contain his amusement and chuckled, extending a hand to help me up, teasing, "A natural, you say?" I sighed, "My skills aren't cooperating today." Lloyd, with a smirk, replied, "Whatever you say, doll." My heart did a joyful flip – that was undeniably attractive.

Undeterred by my less-than-stellar ice-skating debut, Lloyd extended his hand once more, leading the way as we glided across the frozen rink. Lost in my daydreams about how cute we must look together, I momentarily lost my balance again. Bracing myself for a painful fall, I was surprised to find myself caught in a pair of strong arms. Looking up, I found Lloyd, my unexpected hero. I offered an awkward grin, and in return, he smirked, a subtle twinkle in his eyes adding to the charm of the moment.

Determined not to give up, I decided to try skating on my own, slowly getting the hang of it. However, my attempts were overshadowed as I turned to see Lloyd effortlessly execute an axel – maybe my newfound skills weren't as impressive.

Observing the admiring glances from others, I couldn't help but appreciate Lloyd's multifaceted charm. His handsomeness, kindness, and hidden talents intrigued me, leaving me excited to discover more about him. As our eyes met, I offered a cheery smile. Skating back to me, Lloyd teased, "Like what you see? It's not the first time you've been checking me out, and my skills just add more charm." He accompanied his words with a playful, magical rainbow gesture. His accuracy made me burst into laughter, responding with a mock gag, "Your ego is too far up your ass." We shared another round of laughter, enjoying the light hearted banter.

The ice rink buzzed with activity as skaters of all ages glided across the frozen surface. Amid the lively atmosphere, an unexpected collision occurred. Unbeknownst to us, a young boy accidentally bumped into Lloyd, sending him careening in my direction. Suddenly, our laughter turned into a scene straight out of a romance story.

Struggling under the unexpected weight of Lloyd's fall, I too found myself cascading onto the icy surface. In a bid to regain his balance, Lloyd's hands instinctively sought refuge on my shoulders, their impact reverberating through the frigid surroundings. Our faces were now just inches apart, a synchronized blush reflecting the unspoken tension of the moment. The palpable awkwardness hung in the air, but within that discomfort, an unexpected intimacy emerged, sending shivers down my spine.

As one of Lloyd's legs awkwardly positioned itself between mine, the scenario took on a peculiar and undeniably charged nature. Amid the disarray, an unexpected heat suffused the air, catching me off guard and leaving me momentarily breathless. Thoughts raced through my mind, recognizing the allure of the situation—I couldn't deny that having him on top of me felt undeniably hot.

Noticing the charged atmosphere, I couldn't resist a playful move, daringly wiggling my eyebrows. Lloyd, initially taken aback, couldn't help but respond with a smirk, the shared realization of the unexpected allure of the situation lingering between us.

As we both managed to stand up, I couldn't ignore the sight of Lloyd's bleeding hands. Without hesitation, I gently took his hands into mine and assessed the injury. "Does it hurt?" I inquired, to which he responded nonchalantly, "Nah, I've had way worse, haha." Unconvinced, I insisted that we skate back to the hub for proper care.

Once there, we utilized the disabled hands for cleaning. Lloyd winced slightly as I added soap, delicately scrubbing away any potential bacteria. I then pulled out a handkerchief, patting his hands dry. Lloyd observed attentively as I reached into my bag, retrieving antiseptic cream—a precautionary measure I'd adopted after a previous incident. He teased, "Didn't know you came this prepared, huh?" I chuckled while applying the cream, explaining, "Yeah, had a mishap recently at night, so now I carry some aid with me." He smiled in acknowledgment, commenting, "That's good."

To infuse a touch of playfulness, I concluded our impromptu medical session with a Hello Kitty band-aid. A laugh escaped Lloyd when he noticed it, and I blushed, offering an apologetic, "Sorry, that's all I had." He dismissed my concern with a casual shake of his head, responding, "No need to apologize. If it weren't for that mess, you wouldn't be taking the time to help me." I reassured him with a smile, "It's okay, Lloyd. I genuinely enjoy helping." As I spoke, Lloyd gave me a warm hug, expressing his gratitude, "Thank you for taking care of me, my doctor." Giddily, I replied into the hug, "Of course, my patient."
