Hello I hope this new chapter reaches you all well, this chapter I wanted to wind down and focus on shaco and jinx's romantic relationship, I've said this in my prologue but it is the first time I have tried something like this so bear with me if It's painful. I hope to do little bits like this every so often to try and keep the main point of this story in focus the shacoxjinx part anyways, but it shall intensify as well. Looks like I've already typed a paragraph so let's start. Oh one last thing these chapters will reference love duets to set the mood (plus I'm a sap) this time it's perfect combination,
Shaco made his way to the front steps of their house as there was a distant sound of sirens from some sort of emergency vehicle (given this side of town probably the police). It was a rickety old place with only 2 stories and a basement, it didn't get electricity but that was fine since the family didn't spend much time in it except for sleep. Shaco walked on the creaky porch and checked the door, locked as it should've been. Shaco didn't even bother to take out his key, he simply warped past the door.
Upon his appearance inside the house he immediately was tackled by his children. "Father are you all right?" Chavo asked as he inspected his father for any wounds, Hex was holding the first aid kit standing right behind him with a smile on her face at her father's return. "I'm fine Chavo." Shaco said with some exasperation. "W- What happened?" asked Hex, ever curious. "Nothing special, I took care of her baby and she thanked me by letting me go." this baffled his chidren but before they could further their inquiring Shaco raised up his hand and pointed at them. "It's already late and you need rest after such an event, that and given the way you 2 were given the situation it's clear you need more training." "But" his children began but he cut them off. "No buts, go to sleep and train hard tomorrow so mommy and daddy don't have to worry about you as they cause havoc." he said condescendingly.
After he saw the 2 of them off to their rooms he looked around for Jinx. He found her on the couch in the living room with only a candle lit in the center. She was lying flat on her stomach, feet kicking in the air. "I'm back Jinx." Shaco began before noticing she was staring blankly into the surrounding darkness. Unsure of what to do he stood there a moment. Then an idea struck him and he chuckled as he always did when he came up with a plan.
The previous owner had left a phonograph behind with a bunch of records, most of them were love duets for some reason, and Shaco tought he was weird. At first they had thought about junking it with the rest of the personal stuff the guy had left behind, but the 2 had decided to keep it for kicks, over time they even came to genuinely appreciate the duets, sometimes singing along. He selected a record at random from the dim light and put it in place and with a few quick cranks the song began to play. This caught Jinx's attention and she sat up as Shaco sat beside her.
"So what's up in my terrorist's mind right now?" Shaco asked. Jinx shrugged her shoulders and said "Nothing" Shaco moved closer to her till he was staring directly into her violet eyes. "You know I don't find that joke of a lie very funny." She shook her head and sighed, turning her head away from his. "I don't know, just that it's been so long since I've seen fathands." she mumbled. "Ah" Shaco said as he realized what was up. "Miss the old days huh?" You see after the couple had stopped causing crimes long enough for them to get intimate, Jinx had to lay low while she was pregnant, course she didn't much care for the whole boring activity of maternity, but she really had no choice in the later months. So Shaco went about finding the house to settle down in and moved her into it, making sure to cover their tracks along the way. Just like that to piltover's relief and Cait and Vi's frustration the loose cannon disappeared from the world. Even after they were born she still couldn't be allowed to go back to her ways, refusing to simply alow herself to do nothing Shaco went and found the woods where they would train together, while the children watched from their carriers. They later started training the kids together. Of course Shaco knew she would always want to stir up trouble, so did he, but they both knew they'd have to wait until they could do so when their children were skilled enough to relatively remain safe during the chaos.
"Yeah, I do miss the old days when we actually had fun." she said with a bit of bitterness in her voice. "Oh come on." Shaco began, not much caring for what Jinx was insinuating "The kids have given us a bunch of fun experiences we'd never have had without them, and if meeting each other doubled our fun then when the kids are able to join in it'll be quadruple it." Jinx still appeared to be sullen so he put his arm around her and started swaying together. "Come on you know were the perfect combinatioooon." he sang joining into the song "Love plus you and me." he continued causing Jinx to smile and pick up the rest of the chorus "Perfect combinatiooon" she sang leaning towards him "we couldn't ask for any better." Now the couple were singing together in unison "Perfect combinatioooon, we fit to a "t". They gradually leaned towards each as the chorus came to an end "The perfect combination, we're all it takes to last forever, together." and as the song continued they kissed each other deeply. Meanwhile Chavo and Hex were in their rooms wishing their parents weren't so cheesy.
Well, that's all for now, I think i'll have one more out before the weekend is over. Speaking of the next chapter we will be shown another new character (alot changes in 2 decades) and the escaltion of matters for our family.
