Writer's Note: It's been a long hiatus since I have came back, and it feels good to be writing again! This time I decided to write a story and featuring the newest champion Neeko. Riot confirmed that Neeko's love for Nidalee is unrequited, but hey, hopefully the chameleon can finally score her own date in my story! :P

As for now I am waiting for the "Neeko" tag to be usable. Once available, I will gladly put it up and ship it together with the Bestial Huntress!

Chapter 1: A New Year

Hmm...I wonder if she likes such a gift...?"

Neeko thought, her hands holding a small pink box containing a pair of plain silver pearl bracelets, with an ornate pink heart right in the middle. The chameleon lady sighed softly to herself before closing back the box and placing it back to her purse. She slowly glanced in all directions, looking at groups of people sitting around her, with waiters walking around the restaurant busily taking orders and serving food. Wearing a single piece pink layered frilly dress, Neeko constantly checked her own appearances to make sure she was well dress and at the same time, looking as humanly as possible.

The new champion of the League had made a reservation here a week ago, with her date none other than the famous Bestial Huntress and Neeko's closest friend, Nidalee. Truth is, is that the feisty girl had harboured a huge crush on the cougar woman for a long time, ever since they knew each other back when Nidalee took her under her wing in the Kumungu Jungle. All the time they have been through as allies and then friends, Neeko did not had the courage to confess this strong feelings for her, for fear that the beautiful primal lady might be put off by that notion, and lest risking the friendship they have fought hard to built and blossomed together.

Fortunately, it was Ahri that encouraged her to give it a try, her first and good friend that Neeko had made when she first set her foot into the League Academy, the most prestigious school in Valoran, housing numerous champions and summoners like, and to facilitate developing talents and using them to be great assets to the world. Despite being curious in nature, the shy chameleon had not been great at making friends, with the exception of the beaming class chairman.

Throughout the time as friends and classmates, the Nine Tailed Fox gave advices as well as her past knowledge and experiences of being with women, something that the little chameleon was keen on knowing. Even the hearts of the pair of pearl bracelets that were carved with Nidalee's and her own name were ideas suggested by the Ionian lady.

Neeko smiled briefly, thinking about the time Ahri had help numerous times, giving her the resolve she needed to pour her feelings to Nidalee. And that day was today. The chameleon could remember how she was squealing in delight to herself when Nidalee agreed to go on a 'date' with her, during the New Year's Eve. Reservations, presents, and places to go after meal, Neeko took days to plan it all. Right now, all that left is the arrival of her date. Anxiously, Neeko took out her handphone again and viewed her own reflection one last time, trying her best to eliminate any obvious flaws that could hinder her important date…

"Beep!" A new message had flashed itself on the screen, and the sender was none other than her good friend Ahri herself! The curious chameleon slide through her phone screen and viewed the text…

"Miss Universe! No need to check yourself every few minutes. Your face ain't peelingdown. Besides, Nidalee doesn't like vain girls. Have confidence, or at least have faith in my makeup skills."

"How you know I was doing that? Are you looking at me? Where are you?"

"Behind you, at the corner of the restaurant."

Neeko turned around in confusion and anticipation, just in time to see her fox friend in navy blue elegant dress with deep C-cut cleavage standing around the corner, waving at her. The Chameleon wanted to stand up and greet her friend before asking what she was doing here, but soon a young and buxom woman with mid purple length hair wearing a plain black T-shirt and blue jeans entered her field of vision.

With her back facing Neeko, the woman pounced her body towards Ahri, hands grabbing the fox's waist and hips before kissing right in the lips. The whole scene greatly surprised the chameleon. However, that wasn't the end as Ahri happily reciprocated, and the two women now locking their lips firm and hard. Neeko craned her neck just to see who was Ahri's mysterious lover, but unfortunately the purple hair woman wore a black cap and sunglasses which partially obscured her face.

For obvious reasons, tt seemed that the couple had began to garner quite a bit of unwanted attention. Realising that, Ahri began to lead the woman into the nearby restroom, their hands still around each other's waists as they slowly staggered inside. A few moments later, Neeko received yet another message.

"Just need to know I always got your back girl! Don't worry! Rmb what I teach you. Definitely can ace it! Brb, have to settle my woman first. She's a little needy and pissy now! O.o".

Neeko chuckled and shook her head for a moment, before placing her phone back to her purse. Curiosity began to set in the chameleon's mind regarding the identity of Ahri's possible partner, but she was more concerned on her date as of now.

"It's half past nine now…" Neeko glanced at her watch, her heart palpitating anxiously as though the sound of the second hand ticking had increased its magnitude exponentially. The worrywart only stopped when a familiar touch to her back jolted her back from her restlessness.

"Hey my little Camy…" Nidalee purred right beside Neeko's ear, instantly sent another shivering jolt of pleasure down the girl's spine. 'Camy' is the nickname that the Bestial Huntress gave to Neeko, and the only one that gave and called her that. And how much she loved it whenever she being called with that nickname! There would always be a chill down her spine whenever Nidalee called her that, and not without her signature sultry, wild tone.

The chamaeleon turned to gaze at her partner's appearance in anticipation, ears twitching in the direction towards the person who called her name. Her excitement was heightened as the most alluring woman in the world to her, dressed in an enticing black knee-length and sleeveless gown.

Neeko took a good look at her date, while subconsciously lowered her eyes to the cat's lips. Nidalee donned a faint pink colour lipsticks, and with her creamy chocolate complexion complimenting them in contrast, they made them looked plump and soft and… kissable. The Bestial Huntress isn't only blessed with a alluring face; her body was voluptuous and well hugged by the outfit she was wearing and actuated her hourglass hips as well.

Neeko let out a soft gulp down her throat as she allowed her eyes to travel further below, down to a pair of curvaceous and alluring breasts that almost jiggled out from tight dress were wearing. Under the restaurant's bright lights, Nidalee's assets shimmered with light, amplifying the highlights all for the 'poor' Neeko to direct her eyes at...They reminded the Chameleon of...pillows! Fluffy pillows at her dormitory! Oh...She couldn't wait to sink her hands into it, to feel the softness and bouncy texture…

"Camy?"

In a trance like state, Neeko continued to let her lower jaw hung agape despite her name being called for the umpteen times. It was only when Nidalee decided to place her hand on top of the chameleon's, the warmness and soft tingle allowed the girl to bounce back to reality.

"Huh? What?" Neeko shook her head, feeling the sudden rude and perverse gaze she gave just earlier slowly dawned on her. Immediately, she bounced back in embarrassment, feeling the adrenaline reddening and blazing her cheeks. A slow dread moment entered Neeko's mind as she feared and that she may nailed the coffin from all the shameful ogling she did earlier. Instead, all she ever received was a round of soft giggles and meows from Nidalee.

"I'm so sorry. Purr…" Nidalee covered her mouth to contain her laughter. "Has my new wardrobe surprised you that much?"

"I...Er...No!" Neeko blurted, picking up the glass of water and hastily drank all its contents. "I like it!"

"Thank you." Nidalee answered, with a bright smile. She then picked up the menu, slowly scanning the types of food that the restaurant had to offer. "I haven't eat here before. Is there any dish you can recommend?"

"Happy New Year!" Neeko stopped herself but it was too late to realize her follyness. She decided to cover herself by continuing her sentence. "Oh wait, there are still a couple of hours left before midnight…Ha-Ha...Ah yes the food..."

"Damn it! Why did I say such a thing? Stupid Neeko…" The Chameleon scolded herself silently, feeling the cringiness slowly seeping into her skin. In an attempt to cover her shame, she surreptitiously held the menu up and obscured her flustered face, leaving only puppy eyes as she stared at her date for any negative reaction.

"And Happy New Year to you too, Neeko." Nidalee replied with a smile, seemingly unperturbed by her friend's weird reply. Instead, she reached into her handbag and took out a handheld size crimson coloured box before giving it to the chameleon. "Here's a belated Christmas gift for you. Sorry, have been busy during the weeks."

"N-No no! It's okay. Erm thanks!" Neeko clasped her hands and beamed in delight. Upon receiving the present, the girl immediately shook it in exhilaration and placed her ears on the sides, guessing the contents inside. Nidalee giggled in amusement, reminding her of how she would hunt the jungle and gathered materials such as rare minerals ores and bundled them assortative ways with leaves and bamboo sticks before giving to her younger relatives. Looking at each of their exhilarated smiles and glittering eyes told her that the hunt and find was worth it. And now to her, Neeko was just like any other child, anticipating gifts in a similar adorable fashion.

It only took a few minutes for Neeko to realise that her unruly behaviour attracted too much attention from other patronages in the restaurant. She slowly surveyed around, receiving numerous pair of dumbfounded eyes in return. Blushing in embarrassment again, the chamaeleon gave a sheepish smile while slowly lowering her present underneath the table and hidden from view. She casted a worried glance towards Nidalee, expecting her date to be astonished as well. However, all she saw was the cougar lady resting her head on both hands, looking at Neeko with her eyes intently in interest.

"S-Sorry...I got too excited there." Neeko gave a controlled grin, rubbing back of her head in earnest.

"Hmm…" The cougar smiled. "Don't apologise. Seeing you getting that excited makes me happy as well! Want to open it?

"Sure!" Neeko unwrapped the box and checked the contents, and immediately she let out a soft gasp. A intricate wooden hairpin with a small ruby crystal sparkling at the tip. "Oh wow! A hairpin! Looks beautiful."

"Glad you liked that. Come, let me put it on for you." Nidalee stood up and donned the hairpin on Neeko's head, to which the girl closed her eyes briefly and grinned in pleasure. "Suits you, Camy."

"Thanks, I love it! And oh yeah..." Neeko exclaimed, taking out her own gift from her purse. She then handed it to Nidalee. "I too have one for you, do open it. Erm, and Merry Christmas!"

The cougar lady arched one of her eyebrows high at Neeko in bemusement, before opening the cover slowly. "Oohh! A bracelet... How lovely! A-and, it even has letters on it. N x N…What does it mean?"

"Our names!" Neeko chortled. "Nidalee and Neeko. I find that our names are so matching. You like it?"

"Yes I do agree our names are quite complimenting, and I do love the design of the bracelet. Thank you, Camy!"

"I also have one too!" The chameleon wore her own bracelet with identical initials as the gift to Nidalee. She then thought to herself, finding the courage to tell her date that she got the pair of bracelets from the famous accessory shop down the city square, known for their variety of presents for couples and lovers. With this, Neeko felt that she was one step closer to confess her feelings to Nidalee, telling her that they could evolve to more than being just friends…

"Now we are truly matching! Like BFFs!" Nidalee covered her mouth and let out a soft laugh.

"Eh? EHHHHH!"

"Best friends forever! I have seen many girls wore identical things such as rings, watches and phone straps. Prr... It's so cool, we could be like them too."

NO NO NO! That was totally wrong! The chamaeleon could felt something as heavy as stone sunk deep down her gut, not expecting the kind of answer her date would give. Best friends? That was not what she meant, or intended. She had to explain to Nidalee regarding the intention of the bracelets as well as her feelings towards her, however the chamaeleon couldn't find her way to explain. The words from the Bestial Huntress shot through her heart like an arrow, rendering her speechless. As she tried to speak, she could feel her words were being drown in silence.

"I…"

"Hi. May I know what are your orders?" A waitress appeared in front of the two women, her hands holding a tablet and a pen.

Hidden behind the perfectly guised menu, the little chamaeleon growled softly in annoyance. It must had been her own sudden exclamation attracted both the looks of patronizers and servers unfortunately. And clearly, the waitress had to arrive the moment as she had to do the damn explanation! Humans, how they confused her!

"What are your signature dishes here?" Nidalee asked, her eyes remained down as she nonchalantly flipped the menu pages without looking at the waitress. The unfazed expression that always struck Neeko with awe. The cougar's maturity in both her appearance and body actions were what the chamaeleon had wanted to learn and mimic. To Neeko, Nidalee was both her crush and a person to idealized on.

"Seven spices steak from Ionia. We are quite well known for that."

"Alright, I would like to have one. Add on with the soup of the day. And the drink...Get me a glass of red wine, please."

"Noted." The waitress nodded her head while tapping on the tablet with dexterous fingers. She then casted a glance at Neeko, who is still shielding her face with the menu. "What about you, miss?"

Neeko lowered her gaze towards the vivid pictures of food, eyes l excitement as she was overwhelmed by the numerous pictures of their signature gourmet dishes all in the paper she was holding. On one hand she would like to try the roastmary turkey that Ahri had recommended to her, but on the other the salmon and the steak looked pretty delicious too. To make the matter worse, her tummy was rumbling loud as though it was rushing her to make a decision as quick as possible. Argh!

"I-I...Erm make it two sets."

Neeko wasn't sure whether steak was a right choice for her or not, but perhaps ordering the same as her date would get her to "warm up" towards Nidalee.

Once the waitress took the order and left the table, the Bestial Huntress leaned herself forward, eyeing Neeko with an arch eyebrow. In the process, her caramel bosoms were subconsciously rested on the table, enunciating her cleavage even further to the young girl.

"Purr...I didn't know you can handle alcoholic drinks."

"Just some juice isn't it?" Neeko replied, now albeit surprised of her own choice previously. She was unsure what the wine would taste like as she had never experienced it before, however at this point she had already chosen it. She couldn't back off now. "No problem, Nidalee. I am a grown up now, I can handle it!"

Nidalee smiled, but did not continue with the topic. Instead she talked about the current affairs of both the League Academy and her hometown the Kumungu Jungle, something that Neeko liked to listen about. Neeko found herself able to crack jokes and discussed about the new things she learned during these few months she spent interacting with the humans and the city, while Nidalee would gladly listen and chimed in whenever possible. Even after the meals were served, the ladies continued to chat happily under the festive lights and surrounding joyful crowds as the year 2018 slowly dwindled down, with the new year inviting itself in just about a few minutes.

"A-and just like that...I managed to disguise myself as a toddler, able to pass through things without paying and Hick! Get freebies…" Neeko said proudly with a tipsy tone, her face reddened like a tomato.

"I think you had too much, Camy." Nidalee giggled as she slowly savoured her wine. Neeko had already drank all of her wine while hers was barely half, it was no wonder that the chamaeleon was inexperienced with drinking.

"N-No I'm not. Hick! I am still pretty awake. Look at me!" The mellowed Neeko hiccuped and smiled again, before looking at her own watch with eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets. "Oh crap! Two more minutes! Hurry Nidalee, the fireworks are about to start!"

The chamaeleon scampered across the walkway and disappeared right at the corner of the restaurant.

"What a cutie, such childlike." Nidalee shook her head with a smile to herself, before taking her glass of wine and walked towards the direction Neeko was taking. Right at the bend, she could see the exhilarated girl standing at the ledge of the restaurant balcony, her handphone in hand.

The balcony was arranged in a simplistic garden style. An array of small potted plants were placed up in all sides of the room. The floor made up out of wooden tiles; thin string of fake flowers lining around the poles giving viewers here a sense of nature ambience. In front of the metal bar ledges were the alluring view to the city streets and skyscrapers, showing tourists and locals the exquisite beauty that Ionia hold.

"What took you so long? Come!" Neeko exclaimed, scurried towards the cougar and grabbed her hand, right before leading her towards the edge. "My friends told me that this is the best place to view fireworks and other street performances at the street junction downstairs. And, not many people know about this place. A perfect spot for us!"

Seeing Neeko jumping up and down in joy and anticipation, Nidalee felt the girl's laugh spread to her like a contagious disease. Placing the drink at a small circular table nearby, she joined the chamaeleon by whipping out her phone as well.

"Less than ten seconds and the fireworks are going to arrive. Yippee! " Neeko beamed, lifting her phone high up in the air, ready to video the first shot of the fireworks.

A single stream of white light zoomed far up in open space, and then came along its screaming and crackling sound. Not long after it dispersed and disintegrated, followed by a series of colourful fireworks bombarding the sky. Aweing and gaping sounds of people in the restaurant could be heard, and the two ladies were no exception as well.

"It's so beautiful! Wow!" Neeko's eyes glittered with awe and grinned like a cheshire cat as she furiously snapped pictures of the new year celebrations. Her beaming smile increased when the cougar subconsciously held her arm with her own as she too were enjoying the show with pleasure. The girl began to grow flustered with joy and infatuation. Surreptitiously, she began to inch herself slowly towards her friend, until she was able to lean her whole body on the huntress's chest. Since Nidalee was a good head taller than Neeko, the chamaeleon could easily allow her head to place and rest underneath the cougar's jaws, with her petite frame shielded within the confined space of the caramel skinned woman's shoulders. Thus allowing Neeko to savour the intimate space and warmth as their bodies close contact in fervor.

"Happy new year, Nidalee." Neeko said, gazing one last time to see the fireworks show coming to an end before turning back to face her date. As she spoke, she began to trace little invisible circles above the cougar's breasts. Silently gulping, the nervous chamaeleon remembered this method previously taught by her friend, Ahri, the nine-tailed fox. A seductive method that could make a person's heart race. But at this moment, Neeko felt it was own her heart that skipped a beat instead. "Do you like today's dinner?"

"Yes of course, it was marvellous." Nidalee looked down, a little surprised to see Neeko so close and cosy to her but nevertheless she reciprocated by placing both her hands on the girl's waist. With the gap between them close to mere inches, the Bestial Huntress could gaze clearly at the Neeko's delicate rosy cheeks. She could also detect a strong wine aroma from the girl's breath. Clearly, she had drunk more she could handle. The more the cougar fixedly looked, the more she realised that Neeko looked more adorable and charming by the minute. And that thought made Nidalee blushed a little.

"Ah wonderful! Thanks for accompanying me tonight. I absolutely adored it!" Neeko replied, struggled to gaze intently on her date's eyes. Under the quiet and ambient balcony with no one to disturb them, Neeko decided that it was the best and the only chance to confess to Nidalee. She had come this far now, no more time to back off. Fighting against her own nervousness, despite her brain screaming tons of 'no's in her head, the chamaeleon was determined to do whatever it takes to get the message across.

"Nidalee, I-I have something to tell y-you…" Neeko mumbled, flabbergasted as she felt her head began to spin. Her brain was slowly caving in to the waves of euphoria, allowing her mind to feel light and free and also, tired and sleepy. The chameleon realised that she was about to get knocked out cold at such an untimely eleventh hour, and furious that her own body could not withstand such a simple glass of red wine. Despite all these disadvantages, Neeko knew she need to reveal her love feelings right here. It's now or never!

"Yes Camy?"

"N-Nidalee, I-I could not harbour it any more longer...I realised I have a c-crushh..."

Before she could finish her final sentence, Neeko let herself submit to Nidalee's warm and inviting chest, her heavy mind slowly drifting and wandering off to a deep slumber...

Neeko's Reflections (Page 1)

EEK! What are you doing?! Are you peeking at Neeko's diary? That can't do! Oh god this is a little awkward...

Sigh...Can't tell whether I should be more concerned with many people reading my reflections, or fuming that I never got the chance to admit my feelings to Nidalee at all. First the waitress interrupting at the table, then myself! Argh! How I wish I didn't just down the whole glass of red wine in just one gulp. That liquid... so strange..it made me feel lethargic. I remembered I was going to confess to her in the balcony, underneath the starry sky and cluster of fireworks. But my mind went blank before I could even laid out the whole sentence. I wondered what happened to myself after that...
