I know, this isn't starry nights. And I am sorry, I do promise however that I am in the midst of writing chapter 10. Currently half way through it.

Anyways, who here is a fan of League of Legends? Anyone? No just me... Figures. Anyways I kind of got hooked on to the game so, some of my writing time has been dedicated to playing instead. Nautilus is like my favorite champ to play, and I really like Annie to. I also really do like how they redid the lore for them. I find fics that with Nautilus and Annie to be like a father and daughter combo or good friends thing really cute. So this is my addition to that.

This story will be a series of one-shots, though some might eventually have squeals and the like.

So this story is set back when the Institute of War was a thing, and I hope you enjoy.

In the forest outside of the institute of war, a metal titan marched through the trees. Its hulking armor creaked and groan as each step shook the ground. The dark red eyes glowed with unknown power. The titan carried a rusty anchor that destroyed anything in its path.

No birds sang, no animal scuttled, not even the wind was blowing. The forest was silent except for the titan. Yet the titan marched on, unfazed by the unnatural silence. He continued to march forward, his destination unknown.

Eventually the titan marched out of the tree line. He paused as he surveyed the shining lake before him. Slowly he marched the lake's bank. Placing his anchor down the titan of the deep partially waded into the lake.

"Beware the deep…" A rumbling voice said.

Instantly the deep sea diver turned around, grabbing his anchor, and started to make his way back to the tree line.

"Nauty! Nauty!"

Nautilus paused before looking over to the small voice that called him. A small red headed girl carrying a teddy bear was running towards him.

"Annie."

"Nauty! Are you here for the party to?" Annie asked looking innocently up at Nautilus.

Nautilus looked behind Annie to see some other champions enjoying themselves on the lake's beach. Looking back at Annie, Nautilus saw that she was were a purple one-piece swimsuit and her teddy bear was wearing a snorkel mask.

Annie, taking Nautilus's silence as a yes, jumped on to his boot. She quickly sat on it and made herself comfortable.

"Let's go Nauty! Onwards!" Annie called out.

Nautilus paused for a second before slowly moving towards the party. As Nautilus approached, a lot of the other champions move out his way. Everyone was tense as Annie just giggled on Nautilus's boot. Once Nautilus approached the water he stopped moving. Annie jumped of and quickly waded into the water.

She jumped around for a bit before looking back at Nautilus.

"Come on Nauty, the water is nice."

"Don't bother him Annie, Nautilus has some bad history with water."

Annie and Nautilus looked over to see Riven in a black bikini holding a beach ball.

"But it's just water," Annie said tilting her head.

"Yes Annie, even so we don't want to bring up unwanted memories for Nautilus." Riven said sending a glance to Nautilus.

Nautilus said nothing before he set down his Anchor. Slowly Nautilus stepped into the lake. Annie laughed as some of the other champions looked their eyes wide. As Nautilus stepped into the water his eyes dimmed to nothingness. Annie looked, her eyebrows were scrunched up.

"Nauty?"

Almost instantly Nautilus eyes appeared again. He kneeled down on one knee and held out one finger to Annie. Annie smiled and instantly hugged his finger. Riven just smiled as she watched the scene. Annie soon broke her hug and looked up at Nautilus. She stepped back and started to splash Nautilus.

Nautilus did nothing for a few moment before gently splashing the water next to Annie. Annie giggled as she got into a splash war with the titan of the deep.

"Now that isn't something you see every day."

Riven jumped as she heard the voice beside her. Looking to her right she calmed down once she saw it was Lux.

"Yeah, I wonder why Nautilus is so… compelled to do what Annie says." Riven said before tossing her beach ball back at other champions.

"Probably has something to do with his past. Maybe he was a father once?" Lux said getting into a thinking position.

"Nautilus? A father? What?" Xayah said joining the group.

Lux and Riven looked at Nautilus in confusion before the light bulb went off. Both Xayah and Riven looked at Lux with eyebrows raised. Lux just shrugged as her magic disappeared. Lux looked back at Xayah.

"Almost forgot you were new. Anyways it is said that Nautilus was once a diver who got trapped in his diving suit. When he regained consciousness all he could remember was that the anchor he has belonged to those that abandoned him," Lux said.

Xayah turned to look at Nautilus and Annie who were now playing in the sand.

"So his past is a mystery?" Xayah said.

"To everyone but him. It is unknown whether or not he has regained his memories or not. But he barely speaks so no one knows." Riven answered making her way to Annie and Nautilus.

"Riven is so protective of Annie," Lux said smiling.

"Yeah, she is practically Annie's mother with how she acts." Xayah said as the duo watched Riven picked up a laughing Annie.

"Time for lunch Annie," Riven said.

"Ahh, but I still want to play with Nauty and Tibbers," Annie pouted.

"You have time to after you eat. After all if you want to grow big you need to eat."

"Will I grow to be as big as Nauty?"

Riven laughed a little before shaking her head.

"Not that big, but still big."

"Go… Eat… Grow… Big…" Nautilus said in a deep rumble.

Annie looked up to Nautilus before looking back to Riven. Smiling Annie pointed towards the grill that Pantheon was manning.

"Let's go eat then. I want to grow big." Annie cheered.

Riven just smiled as she carried the small girl to the grill. Nautilus just watched on as his eyes turned into upside down u's.

So what did you think, any good? I had this sitting in my files for a while so I thought why the heck not and post it already.

Hope you all enjoy! All favorites, follows, and reviews are appreciated!
