Hi again! Btw. I would like to address something to Mr. or Ms. 'Guest' who has been there for me on my journey in writing here…
To my dearest Guest:
Thank you so much. I cannot even comprehend how delighted I am when I found out that you didn't give up on my writings. I'm sorry that I wasn't able to continue Paranoia of Sweetness, I do hope I can make it up to you this time. Anyway about Veigar's apparent 'loner' attitude, when I described him as a loner, I did not mean him as being the type to ignore company. He's just the type of person who avoids unnecessary crowds or bunches of people. In here, he's just a quiet guy with a few friends. Please don't bring up the 'Veigar had no friends' on me XD, I didn't meant it literally. It's just illogical to do that.
~ Much Love, ChuuniSenpaii :3
The Fairy and Her Wizard
Chapter 1: Memories and Déjà vu
The two of them slowly walked away from the quiet café. Veigar and Lulu walked besides each other, not one of them casting a glance at each other. How could they when their hearts are racing too fast. Smelling a familiar scent in the rain, the two of them realized that it was about to rain. They both needed shelter soon…
Walking towards a bus stop, the two barely managed to make it across the heavy pour of the rain. Both Lulu and Veigar waited…
They waited in silence…
Not one sparing a glance at each other…
Just the two of them and the rain acting as their witness…
Taking a small peek over his shoulder, Veigar saw the shivering girl, Lulu just sat there quietly, arms hugging her figure, not trying to look to obvious that she was cold.
'Oh for the love of…' Rising up from the bench he was sitting on…
Veigar carefully walked towards the girl and held out his sweater to her.
Looking away from the shivering girl, Veigar tried to hide his blush as he encouraged her to take his jacket.
Breaking the silence between them, Veigar carefully draped his jacket over the girl.
"You're cold." He said flatly towards Lulu, the latter smiled at the gesture. She giggled and patted the seat next for her.
"And you're going to sit next to me" the girl replied with a smirk on her face. Veigar was taken aback, he felt his ear tips boiling hot while his heart was about to jump off of his chest. Waving at him, Lulu pouted in response to Veigar's dumb expression.
"That means you dummy, now come on don't just stand there" she added with a pout. Veigar rubbed the back of his neck and meekly walked towards the girl.
'Just the two of us…' ran through Lulu's mind, the girl was shouting with happiness inside, but kept her cool so as to not look like an idiot in front of Veigar.
Drawing a deep breath, she finally spoke…
"So… It was just like this when we met at summer camp huh?" Veigar looked didn't spare a glance, he remembered it like it was yesterday…
Wanting to know more on Lulu's actions, Veigar spoke.
"Why did you still held onto those memories?" he said quietly, the sound almost lost in the heavy patters on the roof of the bus stop.
Lulu glanced over to him and tilted her head.
"What do you mean?" she asked
"You know…" trying to find the proper words, Veigar fumbled on explaining what he just said.
"I guess you could say that you were someone special to me. Back at summer camp, I remember that no one played with us. They just simply formed small groups and we were eventually casted out. That's why when I was lost in the forest; I was so scared because I had to friends at the moment. But then you came running towards the forest by yourself looking for me." She replied whilst looking down on her lap.
Chuckling to himself, Veigar followed her lead while they remember the fun times they had
"Oh that… You see, some kids were actually gossiping that they played a prank on you. I remember those mean kids inviting you over to play hide and seek and just left you out when the game was over for them." He replied, looking over to Lulu who fiddled around with what seems to be a necklace.
"Yeah… I was so scared that time because of the sudden thunderstorm…" she sighed and closed her eyes for a moment.
Taking another shy glance at the girl, Veigar smiled.
"That was the best summer I had…" he said while closing his eyes as he closed his eyes.
*Flashback*
A group of Yordle children were gathered up in a small circle whilst Lulu was looking for a spot to hide on. The girl giggled with excitement, running around, trying to look for the best spot to hide.
"Hey you guys… Remember the plan?" said one kid
"Yeah, yeah, once we find everyone except for that weird girl, the game's over." Said another kid whilst smiling deviously
"Why did we even invite her along anyway?" asked one nervous kid who took a small glance at Lulu.
"Because she's just plain stupid" added one kid flatly
Veigar was just walking by when he heard them plotting against Lulu. Sparing them no attention, he continued his walk while reading his favourite book.
Soon it was already close to sun down when the rain started to pour down. The other kids had long come back from their game and were snickering at themselves their prank had been a success. Disgusted at them, Veigar glared at the nervous Yordle kid and spat.
Catching the eye of the assumed 'leader' of the group, the bigger kid walked over to Veigar and looked down at him.
"You got somethin' to say Shrimpy?" immediately the other kids' attentions were drawn to them. The crowd was filled with 'Ooohs' and gossiping. Veigar stood their ignoring them, he wasn't about to get to a fight over some kid he didn't even know.
"Tch, figures." Spat the bigger kid "he's too chicken" Veigar kept his cool and composed himself, but as the bigger kid was about to walk away, he noticed the book that Veigar was holding. A smile curling on his lips as he harshly shoved Veigar on the ground and took Veigar's book.
"Get up" Commanded the bigger kid whilst toying around with his book in front of Veigar's face.
Feeling his anger building up, Veigar still sat there quietly, hands balled up in fists while he bit back his lips in frustration.
"Give it back" Veigar stressed to the kid, the older kid pushed him again.
"Why don't you take it from me, Shrimpy?" Seeing the bigger kid harshly flipping through the pages of his book, Veigar tried to fight back the urge to pounce on him.
But upon hearing the dreadful sound of paper tearing apart, Veigar couldn't handle it anymore. Before the kid could take another rip at his favourite book, Veigar pounced on him with his fist balled up and ready to slam onto the kids' face.
The bigger kid staggered on his steps, holding onto his cheek while biting down the urge to cry. But he could not, the bigger kid was now suddenly crying out in pain. Picking up the now ruined book, Veigar walked away from the crowds.
'The girl's out there… She's probably wondering why they haven't found her yet…' not looking back, Veigar ran towards the forest as the thunder roared in the skies.
He ran…
And ran…
Until all he could hear was the almost deafening roar of the thunder. Panting up in exhaustion, Veigar saw her inside of a big tree while covering her ears in fear of the noise cause by the thunder. Walking towards the scared girl, Veigar tried to break the silence.
"We should head back now. The other kids played a prank on you…" he quietly mumbled at the girl, she looked towards the voice in front of her and saw Veigar holding his slightly wet and ruined book under his arms, trying to protect in from further damage.
Feeling that their conversation is going nowhere, Veigar was about to leave when Lulu spoke.
"Wait… stay for a while?" she requested, Veigar looked outside of the tree and deemed that it was the better choice since the rain was pouring hard. Sighing to himself, the boy carefully went inside the tree and sat on the other side of the tree, luckily it was big enough for the two of them to have leg room to stretch out.
Veigar stayed far from her and ran his hands towards the book he was cherishing, grimacing at its ruined form, Veigar frowned.
"W-Were they the ones that ruined your book?" she asked, breaking the silence between them.
Veigar looked over to her, still frowning and nodded. He saw the girl cringe and sigh.
"Why do they have to be so mean…" she added, wiping small streaks of tears from her face. Veigar awkwardly shuffled around his space eventually came over to her side and offered her his handkerchief.
"You don't have to mind them…" he mumbled, she took the handkerchief from him and wiped her tears with it.
"Yeah…" she replied, hugging her knees, still frowning.
"Well, if it makes you feel any better… You know… Maybe I can be your friend?" hearing those sweet words coming out of the boy, Lulu looked up, eyes full of hope but were slightly tinted by fear and doubt.
"Really…?" she anxiously waited for his reply and he nodded back in response. Lulu felt a smile tugging on her lips. Veigar looked over to her and saw those dazzling emerald eyes full of happiness.
Leaning her head slight onto his shoulders, Veigar saw Lulu closing her eyes with a smile.
"Thank you for being here…" Veigar sighed to himself and carefully patted her head; himself also feeling weariness as he closed his eyes.
"Thank you for letting me…" he replied, drifting off to sleep.
And there they were eventually found by the camp masters by sunrise… Hands held together, huddled up inside of the big tree while Lulu leaned her head and comfortably rested it on Veigar's shoulder.
*End of flashback*
Upon opening his eyes, Veigar was back in that same scenario again. Lulu leaning onto him as she slept peacefully onto his shoulder, it was already night time when the rain had stopped. Trying to wake her up, Veigar was then spotted by a familiar face.
Seeing Teemo along with Tristana by his side, Veigar glared at the two. His eyes sending a message at them saying:
'YOU. DID. NOT. SEE. US.' The two got the message as Teemo gave his friend a wink and a thumbs-up. Feeling a buzzing in his pockets, Veigar checked his phone and saw the text that Teemo sent him.
'Don't worry, you're secret's safe with us. Walk her home okay? xD' annoyed at his friend, Veigar shut off his phone and shoved it back onto his pockets. It was just then when Lulu stirred awake, rubbing her eyes off of sleep.
"Oh Vegiar…" she mumbled drowsily. Veigar looked over to her and sighed.
"Come on, I'll walk you home. Your parents must be worried already." She nodded and asked for him to help her up. Veigar awkwardly held her by her two dainty hands and lifted her up. As he was lifting her up, Lulu almost slipped and fall onto the wet hard concrete when Vegiar caught her.
The two of them intensely staring at each other's eyes, her green orbs meeting his golden orbs
"We uh… Should be going now…" Vegiar blurted out while rubbing the back of his neck timidly. Lulu just nodded and put a hand onto her drumming heart.
'He's so gentle…' she thought while taking occasional side glances at him, avoiding him from seeing her.
'Why does she have to be this tiresome…' thought back an exasperated Veigar
The two continued to walk until they reached Lulu's building. Lulu turned around and thanked Veigar.
"Well, here's my stop, thanks for walking me home Wizard" she smirked at him.
Veigar just nodded and looked up at the starry night sky, left to his own devices.
'I wonder…' he thought with a smile on his lips and his steps seemingly having an extra bounce on it.
There he playfully toyed with the idea of 'What if…'
Those thoughts were alien to him…
But with her smile…
All he had to do was go with the flow…

Hello again dear readers! Anyway first off I would like to thank you all for reaching this point! Like, wow it's been so much fun writing this particular chapter. I kinda borrowed some elements from anime so please don't judge me for being a 'fluff-sucker' type of writer XD (I know I am so please don't remind me hahahaha) I hope y'all like the subtle Teemo-Tristana ship I added. Dunno what else to throw in but I kinda had to fool around with it.
P.S: With or without reviews, my satisfaction in writing my stories simply comes from your responses, although reviews are really really appreciated, I cannot ask for that much, it's just wrong to fish for compliments with stories. On the side note, if you, the reader of this chapter or story, have the time and effort, I wouldn't mind reading through reviews of PM's about suggestions or compliments XD
