League's bloody valentine
Disclaimer: I don't own neither League of Legends nor the characters in this story. If I did, I would have brought back URF long ago. Really missing Helicopter-Hecarim ...
Author's Note: After a really long time I forced myself into writing again, so my writing style might be a bit clumsy. Moreover, English is not my native language, so sorry for all the typos and grammatical nightmares. Anyway, please R&R.
I got the idea for this story on Valentine's Day, when the discussion of League's cutest couples started. Let's just see how our beloved champs act out of combat, when there is time for fluffy moments 3
Chapter 1: Let's get this party started
"As if we'd need a party to drink", burped Gragas with his barrel right beside him. "Right, Jaxy?"
"Unlike you, I have to get fed instead of drunk during the matches", Jax answered with a smile no one could see. He had tossed his lantern aside and exchanged it with a huge cupe of wine.
"Oh yeah, getting fed? Heard the enemy Cho ate you whenever his ult was up last game." Gragas bursted out into laughter.
"Bet that tasted purple", commented Lulu who rushed over to the table where the drinking buddies were seated. Dressed in her Winterwonder outfit, she put her tiny hands to her hips and looked at them through narrowed eyes. "You two could have dressed better. It's a Valentine's party, how do you hope to get girls like this?" Her eyes stopped at Gragas' belly which was ... well ... worlds apart from a sixpack. "Don't worry, Graggy, I'm here to help." The yordle girl used her polymorph on Gragas and put him into his purple suit. A big silver clock was now visible at his wrist while his stomach was well hidden.
"You can thank me later", Lulu laughed and then ran over to the buffet where Cho'gath and Trundle had a heated discussion. Gragas and Jax just shrugged at each other and continued drinking.
It was February the 14th, and the champions held a little party in a barn close to Summoner's Rift, where old items like Philo's Stone and Runic Bulwark were stored. A sobbing LeBlanc was sitting on the ground, next to a blue-ish rod that looked suspisciously like Deathfire Grasp.
The barn's door swung open, and the last missing guests went in, coming right from their last battle in the rift.
Talon felt his mood lighten up as he eyed the redhaired woman who walked in front of the other nine champions. She seemed to be verbally fighting with the blonde girl next to her, and he had the urge to rush over and assassinate the stupid Lux. How dared the girl to quarrel with his stepfather's beautiful daughter? Goddamn Demacians, he thought but kept sitting. Two of the other chairs at his table were taken by Zed and his shadow. They played 'Rock-Paper-Scissors' for some time now and didn't seem to get bored by it nor did they notice the angry glare Shen shot at them.
"You've only beaten me because of my Summoner. He was lagging like hell", Kata growled angrily.
"Laaags", Lux giggled. A brown cougar caught up at them, than changed back into her human form and added: "These lags seemed to get worse whenever I ganked you. You really caught every single spear, didn't you?"
"Oh, just shut up!", Katarina sighed. A "Reported for offensive language" could be heard behind her, but she didn't bothered to turn around and find out who had the guts to make her even angrier. Probably her former jungler, Udyr, who had given his first double buff to the enemy's Toplaner and didn't get a single dragon. He had entered the barn in his Spirit Guard outfit, all high and mighty.
Lux' face became serious again. "It's just sad that my brother had to be in your team. It hurt to kill him over and over again. Poor boy."
Suddenly, Kata got an idea.
"How about a contest?" She swung her red hair back.
"What kind of contest?"
"A contest who can catch most of my spears", Nidalee suggested. "That wouldn't be fair, though, since Kata has lots of practice in it."
"This is a Valentine's party", Katarina went on, ignoring the brown-haired girl completely. "We should find out who of us is most popular with the boys, wouldn't that be fun? Let's give it an hour to find a party companion. The one with the more attractive one wins."
"Who decides which one is more attractive?", Lux asked increduosly.
"A jury. We need some people who are equitable. Like Soraka. Or Braum."
"Or Lee", Nidalee laughed. Again, Kata ignored her and asked: "What do you say, Lux? Are you in?"
"I don't know ..."
"Are you scared?"
"No!" Lux let her eyes wander through the barn. Following her gaze, Katarina saw Ezreal in his Pulsefire outfit, chatting with Taric in his unmanly armor. Ezreal could be a problem, but Kata was not aiming for an attractive catch. She just came up with the perfect plan to get back at Lux.
"Only fools hesitate", she teased the other girl.
"I'm in", the blonde mage finally said.
"Me too", Nidalee grinned. "But I need to change my outfit first."
"I'll come with you", the Noxian girl followed Nidalee who was already on her way to the girl's restrooms.
"Don't you dare to change into Kitty-Kata. It hurts my feelings", meowed Nida, changing back into her cougar form. Katarina rolled her eyes. If she were about to flirt with Rengar, said outfit would be here best choice. But right now she needed something to make her look tough, like the strong warrior she was, because that was what he liked best about her, she was sure of it.
Let the bloodshed begin.
