Author's Note- Posted on July 2nd, as promised! I hope you'll love the second installment, I worked hard on it ^^ There won't be anymore, but I might write another one later just because, so keep an eye out for that, too!

"It was nothing. It meant nothing. He was angry. He wasn't thinking straight. It was nothing," Lulu whispered to herself, curled up in a ball leaning against a wall. She couldn't deny that every time she saw the grumpy Yordle her heart started beating really fast. The sound would be echoing in her head, so loud that she feared he could hear it. Whenever his hand would brush hers or they would bump into each other in passing, her entire arm turned into metal wires and her blood exploded with electricity.

He infuriated yet captivated her, made her want to smile and frown at the same time. She was never sure whether to scream in frustration or laugh in unexplainable happiness that she felt around him. This wasn't some stupid love story; the two people have to be in love for that to happen.

If you would just try, Veigar, then maybe…

"He hates me. I…I like him. Love? Maybe. Yes. But he hates me. He hates me and everything about me. It's just hatred," Lulu cried, resting her head in her arms. But she knew, better than anyone, that in this terrible game the two of them played, she wouldn't stop. She was far too enthralled to stop taking part. Running in short, spiteful circles, all day, every day, just because her feelings couldn't take the hint and disappear.

"I just want it to go away." Lulu's eyes stung with salty tears as she whispered those words.

"Want what to go away?" A smooth, tenor voice asked. Lulu snapped her head up, her green eyes coming to rest on the silhouette of Veigar standing in the doorway. His arm moved towards the wall, where she knew the light switch was.

No! Why are you here? You're making everything so difficult, even by just being here with me.

"Don't," she said suddenly, her voice a bit hoarse. "I'd rather hide from my feelings in the darkness." Veigar chuckled.

"I doubt that'll work too well for you, imbecilic Yordle."

Lulu winced. "Don't call me that. I'm not stupid and you call every other Yordle that, but I'm not every Yordle. I'm different from them," Lulu said, biting her lip nervously. She thought she was different, at least.

"Why are you so different, useless Yordle?" He stepped into the room, causing his silhouette to fade and leave only the sound of his shoes hitting the hardwood floor.

"Because you don't kiss them all," she replied softly, her eyes stinging again. Loving someone who didn't love you back was like waiting for a sailboat at an airport.

"And what makes you so sure, Lulu?" His hot breath tickled her neck and made her shiver involuntarily. He smirked, brushing his lips over her skin and sending chills down her spine.

Please, don't tease me.

"I'm not. But you…you aren't like that. You may act annoyed by everything and rave about being the Master of Evil and plan world domination all the time but you don't kiss all of the female Yordles. I know you wouldn't," Lulu squeaked, a deep blush painting her cheeks.

Veigar stared at her silently for a moment. "You noticed?"

How could I not?

"Of course. You might hate me, but I-" Lulu cut off her sentence, horrified. She looked like a deer caught in headlights with her wide, cautious green eyes.

"You what?" He asked lowly, his tenor voice washing over her. "Love me?"

Of course, but I'm not telling you so.

Humiliated, Lulu buried her face in her arms. "Go away," she demanded, her request muffled by her purple, tear-stained sleeves. Veigar chuckled, causing her to look up and glare at where she thought his face was. It was still too dark for her to see; she had no idea how Veigar found his way over to her.

Why must you be so close to me?

The blue Yordle grabbed her elbow and pulled her to her feet. Without a word, he dragged her towards the entrance while she threw suspicious glances at his (admittedly attractive) backside. The pair stopped, though Lulu didn't have much time to wonder why. With a soft click, Veigar turned on the light.

"No more hiding," he commanded. In a softer tone, he continued. "As stupid as it sounds, I really…I like you. Okay? I like you a whole damn lot and I know you do too. I can tell because your eyes used to light up like stars in the sky when we'd talk and it was the best thing in the whole world and I'd actually forget about being the bad guy because to you I never was. You'd say hello and every time it's like we're starting over. We'd forget about the fights and it made me feel weird. And when we…when we kissed I could literally feel your heartbeat racing and it was the best song I'd ever heard. So will you…will you stop hiding from me?"

I was only hiding because I didn't think you wanted me.

True to his word, Lulu's green eyes shone in a way that made the sun so incredibly jealous. It was like the first page of her own fairytale. "Yes."

"Then from now on, you are my Fae Sorceress, and only mine," Veigar declared, pulling Lulu closer to him and wrapping an arm around her waist, his other hand cupping her face.

You're all I want. I will always be yours.

He kissed her, and this time she kissed back. She felt like she was floating in air, his gentle kiss reigniting the crucial spark present in every love story. It wasn't exactly a Happy Ever After, but it was something. And she loved it.

Yes, Veigar. I absolutely love you.
