Accompany Me
A fluffy three-shot of Ezreal and Lux's blossoming relationship as they go on an adventure outside of Demacia together. What will Lux's protective older brother Garen do when Ezreal asks him for permission to take Lux outside of Demacia to accompany him on his explorations? Rated T. I'm not really going by the lore so don't expect it to follow the lore.
The sun shone brightly over Demacia's green grassy fields as Ezreal had just returned from the ruins of Shurima to meet his beloved girlfriend,Lux,also known as the Lady of Luminosity. He had been scavenging for unknown treasures in Shurima until he came upon a very intriguing blue stone in which he had been wanting to show to Lux ever since he got back. He knew that Lux would be able to figure out what the blue stone was since she is very intelligent and had been studying the different types of stones in her college class. Before he returned to Demacia after a long months trip, he made sure he had brought something back for his beautiful girlfriend too. He spent hours digging up the old ruin only to find the mysterious blue stone-like object and a golden bracelet with a sun charm on it. He picked up the bracelet and the blue amulet and placed them carefully into his brown messenger bag not wanting to damage the fragile objects he had gotten for both him and Lux. The bracelet reminded him so much of Lux's bubbly personality that shined through her that he couldn't leave it behind. He wanted to surprise her with something that was one-of-a-kind because she was so very special to him. Ever since they began dating, he had learned to admire her giddy and childish personality that differed from most girls of Demacia. Her laughter was contagiously cute and her eyes were a brilliant shade of blue,like the large vast ocean South of Demacia. He couldn't help but imagine how his girlfriend would react when he hands her the gift and asks her to be his accomplice on the continuation of his adventures.
When Ezreal spotted a glow of light in the middle of a grassy field, he immediately ran to where he saw the light and observed his girlfriend playing around with her skills as she flickered balls of light into the air and then burst into sparks. She had been practicing her skills when he came up from behind and gave her a big warm hug while holding up a box in which he stored her gift. Lux let out a surprised gasp and turned around to stare into her boyfriend's deep blue eyes.
"Ezreal! Oh my goodness you scared me!" she yelled then giggled at how silly she must've looked when he startled her. Her attention suddenly shifted from her boyfriend to the box he held in front of her. "Is that for me?" she questioned while turning her body to face Ezreal's.
"Yes babe, I dug this up for you while exploring the Ruins of Shurima." he said with a wink which made Lux blush at how thoughtful her boyfriend was towards her. She then opened the box revealing a shiny golden bracelet with a tiny sun charm. The sun charm glowed under the brilliant bright sky and Lux couldn't help but gaze at how precious this gift meant to her. She immediately wore the bracelet on her hand and gave Ezreal a peck on his lips to show her appreciation.
"Thanks soo much baby! I love it soo soo much!" she shouted with glee and jumped into his arms. He held onto her small frame and chuckled at her giddy demeanor which he had missed for a month. He then remembered that he had the mysterious blue stone that he needed her to examine.
"No problem babe.. oh yeah.. I need to show you something too.." he replied. Lux eyed Ezreal curiously as he pulled out the medium-sized glowing blue amulet he dug up in the ancient ruins of Shurima.
Lux gasped as she immediately recognized the amulet in her boyfriend's gloves. It was a powerful talisman that can only be worn by the ascended. She told Ezreal the story behind the amulet and how he could assemble it onto him and use the power from it. Ezreal listened carefully as his girlfriend explained where he had to go to get the amulet installed onto his gloves. They had to go to Piltover (Ezreal's birth place) to find a special blacksmith to install the amulet on his gloves. Ezreal then thought of a brilliant plan as he lifted Lux up by her waist and swung her around with excitement.
"Babe! Do you know what this means?! We get to go on an adventure together and get this amulet installed onto my gloves! That way I can use the power from it to defeat our enemies." Ezreal had other places he wanted to explore but this time,he wanted his girlfriend to accompany him on his adventures as she had shown her true potential possessing the power of light which could be beneficial when exploring the deep dark caves where void monsters hid.
Lux looked at Ezreal with saddened eyes after realizing that she was unable to venture out into the unknown without her older brother's consent. Garen, Lux's overprotective older brother didn't trust Ezreal's antics as he was a daring young lad who never seemed to settle down.
"I don't think Garen would allow me to leave Demacia..." she said. Ezreal looked at her disappointingly and shook his head. "He thinks that I'm not ready to go out and face danger just yet.." She frowned and looked up at Ezreal's incredulous face.
"But you're old enough to travel now. We're both 20 years old and could take care of ourselves." he exclaimed trying to persuade her to make her own decisions and not let her 24 year old brother take control of her life.
"Garen also said that he didn't quite trust you being my boyfriend.." she blatantly stated."He thinks that you are a troublemaker and a good for nothing type of guy.." Ezreal who was upset upon hearing what Garen said about him wanted to change his mind. He decided that it was best if he confronted him in person and ask for permission to take Lux out on an adventure.
"Well.. I can change that.. I will make your brother see that I'm not what he thinks I am.." and with that, Ezreal got ahold of Lux's small hands and led her to the training grounds of Demacia where Garen was training with Darius and Jarvan IV. Ezreal who wasn't intimidated by hunkier men approached them with Lux by his side. Garen immediately noticed Ezreal's presence and frowned as he looked up and saw his sister and the good for nothing explorer holding hands.
"Lux.. what is he doing here?" Garen angrily asked while Lux nervously shifted under his harsh gaze. Darius and Jarvan lV felt Garen's change in attitude as he spoke with a harsher tone. They took a step back and tried to dodge their friend's cold demeanor.
"Uh.. I-" Lux began as her response was abruptly cut off by her boyfriend's voice.
"I wanted to ask you something." Ezreal interrupted and Garen shifted his gaze at Ezreal giving him a menacing smirk while his eyebrows furrowed together.
"What do you want kid?" Garen taunted. Ezreal who didn't like people calling him kid glared at him back and said,
"I plan on taking your sister on an expedition with me to the outskirts of Demacia. She shall accompany me in getting this amulet installed on my gloves as she is an expert with this particular amulet." he replied still fuming with anger at the way Garen called him a kid.
"That seems like a personal problem. Lux will not be permitted to go with you, I don't trust her under the influence of an explorer who only steals treasures." he replied. "I don't have time listening to your nonsense.. don't you have better things to do?"
"But I promise that I will bring her back safely.. I need to bring her on this mission to help me locate the blacksmith.. I also need her to support me through this exploration, her ability to emit light will guide me on this expedition. I also promise to keep her safe from any harm since she is the love of my life! Please give me a chance and I'll prove myself worthy!" He pleaded as Garen had to think things through.. He just didn't want to see his beloved baby sister get hurt but when he glanced into Ezreal's deep eyes, he saw a fulfilling promise and learned that sometimes a person just needs to let their younger siblings live their own lives. Garen sighed in defeat as he looked at Lux then at Ezreal with a hint of unwillingness to let his baby sister go.
"Fine!" he shouted. "Lux can go with you but you better bring her back in one piece or else I'll hunt you down you sneaky little explorer!" with that Ezreal grinned at Garen and promised that he would bring his little sister back to safety. Ezreal grabbed Lux's hand and quickly walked away before Garen changed his mind about Lux leaving Demacia.
