He didn't have time for girls.

Even before the League of Legends, he spent most of his time exploring. It didn't matter if it was in the harsh heat of the Shurima Desert, or the bitter icy land of the Freljord. He seemed to thrive on the thrill of crawling through places others have never been before, and hunting down old artifacts that have only been talked about in books. At times he'd find something that even the books in Demacia's central library didn't offer their knowledge on, and that fueled him even more.

He wasn't called Piltover's Grandmaster Explorer for nothing.

Between juggling the League of Legends, working for Piltover, and exploring, he didn't have time for girls. It wasn't like he avoided them like the plague – he was good friends with Caitlyn and Vi, and he would make friendly chat with the other females he knew from time to time (as long as they weren't Noxians). But he never bothered to make time for dating or relationships. It just wasn't his thing.

Until he met her.

They were on opposing teams when they first met, both being sent to the middle lane. She was cute, but he didn't take her seriously. She seemed like a bubbly, chipper, and slightly ditzy girl who was naïve and clueless about her surroundings. Hell, how did someone like her even make it into the League?

But he underestimated her. He didn't expect her to be a highly gifted individual who could bring the light to her command. His carelessness got him trapped into a perfectly timed snare at a third of his health remaining.

"I suggest you forfeit instead," she said brightly, with a mischievous glint in her eye. "DEMACIA!"

Damn, that stupid laser hurt.

She easily dominated the entire game, just because he prejudged her. She didn't even look like she could hurt a fly, but the girl was deadly when she had to be. A few of his teammates seemed to undermine her abilities as well, when they gave her a triple kill late game from carelessly chasing her. His team lost.

When they were teleported back into the post-game lobby, he was, of course, mad at himself. One of his first rules was to never judge anything – not by personality, and certainly not by appearance. He learned enough of that through exploring. Why did he do that?

"Hey!" she called out after him. "What's your name?"

He turned around. "Ezreal," he said. "What's yours?"

"Luxanna," she answered with a smile. "But you can call me Lux."

Luxanna… Wait. This was Luxanna Crownguard? The one who single-handedly infiltrated the Noxian High Command? No way. He expected Luxanna to be someone more mature, more serious. Definitely not the giddy ball of energy right before his eyes.

"Well anyway," she said, breaking his thought. "It was nice meeting you, but I have to tend to some matters in Demacia. See you later, Ezreal." She gave him another smile before she turned her heel.

"I hope we can lane together next time!" he blurted out.

She looked back at him quizzically.

"Don't you think our ultimates would be pretty scary together?" he asked, grinning.

Her lips curved into another mischievous smile. "Looking forward to it," she said with a nod, and waved her hand goodbye as she was teleported back to Demacia.

He was right. Provided that their summoners had some sort of common sense, they owned bottom lane when they were sent together. Her snares and slows gave him perfect chances to strike his opponents, and her light shield offered them protection when he was too reckless (then again, that was applicable to any champion she was with – but he liked to think that they had the best synergy). He loved the smile she gave him, when someone thought they survived one of their ultimates by a smidge, only to have the other's ultimate secure the kill.

Over time, he developed a fondness for her. He wanted to get to know this girl, except he didn't know how. They weren't strangers, but they weren't quite friends either.

He wanted to make time for this girl.

A/N - I don't really know where this is going, haha. It's probably going to turn out to be a series of one-shots. But then again I'm great at procrastinating, so who knows when the next update will be.

I've always liked the idea of Lux and Ezreal, way back when I started playing. They just sorta clicked together for me, when I first saw someone play Ezreal. Oddly enough, they both ended up to be my mains for a while (and they still are). Lux, Ezreal, and Diana are really the only champions that I can play well, and Janna on occasion (read: the only champions I'm willing to play), and Diana was just recently added onto that short list. I've been playing for about two years, so my friends hate me for that.

I'll stop now, before I give you my history on League.
