Authors Note:
I plan on having this be, sorta, kinda like "episodes" of Riven and Lux's relationship in the Institute. No huge plot and story, just Riven and Lux fluff.
I'm using the Guided Light universe, I guess I really really love that fic. I'm not going continue the story or plot that it had, because I would probably ruin it. But I will continue from where it left off, I don't think you can explain how Riven and Lux got together better than how Guided Light does.
I hate reading stories that were last updated 6-7 months ago, and losing all possible hope of seeing more. So I do not want to give this up. And if in the future, I absolutly have too, I will have a good explanation and I will not leave anyone off with a bad last chapter. :)
Riven stared at the silverish doorknob of her dormitory. It was the first time she'd seen it in the past week, she let out a sigh of relief before pushing open the door.
The first thing that Riven noticed was the white paper folded like a tent on the counter.
She looked at it with a confused expression, 'I wonder who left that...' Riven made her way to the piece of paper that seemed to have her name on the front.
A smile made its way on to her face as she quickly realized who had written the letter.
"Come to my dormitory at 9:00, I have something I want
to give you, I live in room 102 in the Demacian wing.
-Luxanna"
In all her time, Riven had never thought she would fall for anyone like Lux, She hardly thought she would fall for anyone at all. Her time in the military had taught her that love was useless, that it showed weakness.
After the war, Riven had left noxus, she became an exile roaming Valoran and never thought to ever find a set path for the rest of her life to take.
But then there was the Institute of War. A place she sought to find a meaning, some comfort.
And to her suprise, she did, she found a meaning, she found comfort from her past. And it was Lux.
Lux was the only person at the Institute to befriend her, to be interested in her, and now...
Lux is her lover, Lux is her girlfriend, Lux is her meaning, Lux is her comfort.
Riven's train of thought was broke by the her growling stomach, no doubt she was hungry, she hadn't eaten anything besides vegetable soup for the 2 days she was in the infirmary.
Riven decided that she would get food in the mess hall, she still didn't have any food for herself in her apartment, and no money to go out and get food from a grocery store in the town outside of the Institute.
Finally reaching the mess hall, Riven was greeted with the sight of a very sad mummy, seemingly running for his life, from a short,pink haired little girl holding a teddy bear.
The girl let out a playful yell "Ready or not, here I come!"
"Don't hurt me!" The mummy yelped.
Not paying any attention, the bandaged yordle ran straight into Riven's looked down, giving the small mummy a cold glare as he sit on the ground. Which only made him sob even more.
The little girl knelt next to the balling mummy with her arm over his shoulder, she looked up at Riven and yelled.
"Meanie!"
"Hey!" Riven replied, annoyed.
The girl and mummy began to walk off to an vacant table.
Riven decided to ignore what had just happened, she made her way to the salad bar, she liked salad at the Institute. She had eaten a lot of sald on her travels, and the institutes was some of the freshest she had ever tasted. The line started with a stack of plates, plastic knives, and these... oddly shaped spoons.
With her hand hovering over the wierd utencil she recieved a light nudge in the arm, turning to look. She recognized the accused nudger as Leona, The Radient Dawn.
"They are called 'sporks,' they are like forks and spoons all in one" She grinned at Riven.
"Oh, that's actually pretty cool." Riven gave a small grin.
After moving down the line, Leona and Riven picking there sald and dressings, Leona leaned over, catching Riven off guard, and whispered.
"So how are you and Lux doing?"
Riven blushed, suprised as she thought Lux wanted to keep their relationship a secret for a while.
"How did you know!?"
Leona chuckled, "I didn't." She smiled. "But now I do! I figured Lux was being a little too nice to you, and you've confirmed it."
Riven slammed her hand into her forehead, Leona continued to laugh.
'Really, that's the second time.' Riven told herself angrily.
"Can you keep it a secret? Lux might not be very happy with me." Riven was beganing to pout.
"Sure."
Leona invited Riven to sit with her and Ashe for lunch, but she kindly turned it down, as she wanted to eat in her dormitory and relax for the next few hours.
Riven quietly walked over to her dormitory, Salad plate in hand, and thought about the soon to be meeting with Lux.
'What does she want to give me? Maybe a cute hoodie or something!'
Riven couldn't wait, she wish she could go sooner, but the idea of a noxian being seen going into the demacian wing and knocking on Lux's door might bring unwanted attention if someone were to see, and Lux is probably still at her meeting.
She reached her apartment and pushed the door open.
Riven immediately sat at one of the 3 stools lined up next to the counter, placed her salad plate down, and inhaled the food. It tasted great and filled her up, unlike the soup she had recieved in the infirmary.
She walked over to the biege sofa on the other side of the apartment and sat down, resting her head back. Riven's thoughts slowly drifting to Lux as they have been all day.
'Everything about her is perfect, her hair, her eyes, her smile...'
'Oh Gods that smile.'
Riven sat with her elbow on the arm of the sofa, and her hand supporting her head up smileing deep in thought. She began to shut her eyes and slowly begin a short nap.
When Riven awoke, she noticed that she had adjusted her body to extend across the sofa, putting her head on the arm of the seat.
She also noticed the little pool of drool next to where her mouth sat.
"E-Ew" Rivens croaked.
Riven was quick to get up and grab a paper towel to wipe her left cheek off. She grabbed another to wipe the sofa off.
She checked the time hoping that she didn't dose off for too long.
"8:50pm."
'Perfect.' She thought as she jogged to her room and grabbed a new white undershirt, and a baggy tan blouse that Lux has told her she looked good in before. Riven hastely brushed her bangs off to the right, and exited her dormitory. A bright smile on her face.
The Institute at night look marvelous at night. The moonlight seeped through the windows in the main hall and lit up the statues with a white glow.
Her footsteps made a seemingly quiet noise as she prowled to the demacian wing of the institue.
'100... 101... 102!'
Riven, now standing in front of the door labeled "102", raised a softly clentched fist, and sent out 3 light knocks.
A playful, teasing voice came from the other side of the door.
"Who issss it?"
"R-Riven" Riven said sheepishly,
Lux giggled as she opened the door. She caught Riven looking down, trying to hide her slight smile. Lux took her by the hands and dragged her inside the apartment. Riven placed her hands at Lux's waist. Lux rested her arms on Riven's Shoulders and crossed them behind her head. There lips locked together in a blissful kiss.
Lux was wearing a casual white blouse with a pearl white skirt, the same one she was wearing at the infirmary when she came to visit earlier that day.
Lux broke the kiss and spoke.
"So Riv... how was your day?"
"Well... after I got out of the infirmary. I went to get something to eat, a little mummy ran into my legs on accident. Oh, And I learned what a spork is!"
"You're so cute Riven."
Riven put her forehead against Lux's with a slight blush on her face. Lux looked up and brushed the hair out of Riven's right eye as they both smiled.
"Oh yea, are you hungry? I have some extra speghetti from last night and I don't know if you've eaten dinner yet." Lux finally spoke.
"You know,I would love speghetti right now." Riven said with relief, thinking she would have to go back to her apartment and sleep hungry.
"I'll make you some." Lux said with a wink. "Go ahead and get comfortable, what's mine is yours"
Riven sat on one of the Demacian styled stools that lined across right under the marble counter. Fiddleing with magazines that were neatly placed next to the wall on the counter. Riven took a glance at Lux while she was making the plate of speghetti every once in a while.
Riven thought about her life, she thought about some of th she's been through to get to this point. The hardships she's been through, everything was so difficult. But now. It's all gone. She never thought her problems would melt away just by meeting Irelia and Lux. She also never thought in a million years she would be in love with someone like Lux, or be in love with any sort of girl for that matter.
After about 5 minutes, Riven was greeted with food and a cheerful Lux watching her eat from the other side of the counter. Lux restarted the conversation with Riven about her day. Riven had also been informed on who Annie and Amumu are. Concluding that Riven is to stay away from an "Annie tantrum." Lux picked several pieces of pasta off Riven's plate, helping her finish. Riven decided to ask Lux a question.
"So Lux."
"Hmm?"
"It's 10, weren't you gunna give me something?" Riven was looking at the clock on the wall.
Lux pinched both of Riven's cheeks with her free hand and pulled her face to look at Lux's.
Lux giggled at the sight of Riven's now funny looking face and wiped the speghetti suace off the corner of Riven's mouth. She blushed heavily in embarassment.
Riven found herself being dragged to Lux's bedroom. Walking inside, Lux closed the door behind them and turned on the light. Riven's heart started to beat faster and faster.
"Lux, wha-" Riven was interupted by Lux swiftly placed an index finger against her lips.
"Close your eyes!"
Lux guided Riven to sit down at the edge of the bed as riven shut her eyes.
After searching through her drawer, Lux pulled out a tiny white box with gold plated corners. She opened it to reveal two silver earings with the same green noxian symbols that's on Riven's broken sword"
"Okay, open!"
Riven was caught in awe. Were those really costum made earings? Aren't those expensive? When did Lux have time to get these?
Lux broke the silence. "Do you like them?"
"Lux they're perfect, Its just, my ears aren't pierced..." Riven picked up the earings to get a closer look.
"You can come with me tomorrow to get them pierced!"
"Doesn't that... hurt?" Riven winced.
"Not at all! It feels like someone is pinching your earlobe."
Riven grinned at the earings. She stood up and gave Lux a warm hug, putting her head on top of Lux's. Lux returned the hug and shrunk into Riven's chest.
"I love you." Riven whispered.
"I love you, too." Lux returned.
Riven didn't want to leave, but she knew it was getting late. Riven let go of the hug and slid her hands down to Lux's.
"Thank you, but I need to get to bed." Riven leaned in to kiss Lux.
"Wait, you're leav-mmph!"
Riven broke the kiss after cutting Lux off, looking at Lux confused.
"Don't leave! I wanted you to stay the night." Lux pouted.
Riven looked at the ceiling, still holding Lux's hands, and smiled "Okay fine."
Lux Jumped up and down with excitement as she softly pushed Riven to sit back down on the bed. She skipped over to her dresser, pulled out some folded clothing and started getting undressed. Riven couldn't help but stare and almost get lost in thought.
She broke the gaze at the sound of Lux's voice giggleing
"You can get ready too, you know."
Riven, shaking off the thoughts, stood up and took off the tan blouse she had ontossing it to the floor next to her side of the bed, sliping off her shoes, and dropping the skirt she had worn. All remaining was the white undershirt and silk black panties.
Lux, on the other hand, was wearing a grey tank-top and navy blue pajama pants.
Lux grinned at Riven. "I would let you borrow my other pair of pajama pants but... I like that better."
Riven blushed and slid under the covers of Lux's bed. Lux jumped onto the bed and slithered under the covers aswell.
Lux flipped herself so her back was towards Riven. Riven placed her arm over as Lux held onto her hand, bringing it to her chest.
Riven never wanted to leave this position, it made her feel so secure and warm. With her eyes closed, she took a wiff of Lux's hair.
"Strawberries... nice."
Lux blushed and squeezed her partner's hand.
"Goodnight Riven." She giggled.
"Goodnight Lux."
