The sun rose over the clock tower steadily, letting in a single shimmer of light through the glass. Both champions rested in the same bed in a not so fairy tail fashion. Ekko was snoring loudly while sprawled across the bed. A thin piece of the blanket they shared covered his mid section. Jinx had curled up next to him with her back to Ekko's side, her arms wrapped around his while she used it as a pillow, stealing most of the blanket. It was a peaceful scene almost all night, if you could get over the snoring.
Jinx woke first, stretching out like a cat as she yawned. After exhaling she sat up, rubbing one eye with the back of her hand. Her foot hit Ekko's thigh and her eyebrows rose in confusion. She didn't seem to remember last night at all as she patted his chest with one hand. Her head still faced the wall while she attempted to recover the memories of just a few hours ago. She couldn't even remember drinking, normally she would remember that. On top of that she was fully clothed, nothing here added up to a one night stand. Jinx finally turned around to look at the person in question. More confusion set in as she took in the sight of Ekko, her childhood friend. She internally screamed, cursing fish bones for letting this happen as she jumped over Ekko to look on the floor. She sighed as she didn't find any evidence of her fears and leaned back against her wall. Ekko mumbled something and rolled away from her, continuing to snore. His hair had turned into a messy mass that stuck up and out at odd angles, making him look almost homeless. How in the hell did he get into her bed? And why? More importantly did they have…
Nah, that couldn't of happened he's just a kid. There's no way they could of, that and who would sleep with someone they have known since they were five, wouldn't that be strange. Jinx pondered all the reasons why that wouldn't happen for a few moments. finally coming to the conclusion that they didn't in fact do the dirty deed. her eyes went back to his sleeping form, thinking about what to do with him.
after a few moments of thoughts Jinx took one leg and kicked his back. Hard.
Ekko was sent to the floor with a loud thud. He groaned as he sat up, holding his head in pain.
"What the heck is your problem, you crazy little-"
"Why the hell were you in my bed?" Jinx cut him off. Ekko quirked and eyebrow at her and silence for a few moments before responding with a smirk on his face.
"Uh it's rude not to accept invitations, duh," Ekko glared at her, the smile turned into a taunting one as he mocked her.
"Please, I wouldn't invite a child like you into my bed!" Jinx screamed, pointing an accusing finger at him. She suddenly became self-conscious and grabbed the rim of her shirt, pulling it down to cover her unmentionables. Her face flushed a bright red as she grounded her teeth together.
"Oh Ekko please sleep with me? I can't sleep after nightmares…" Ekko mocked, clasping his hands in what could only be described as the gayest thing a straight man could ever do. He even stood up for the full effect, lifting one leg off the ground while he gave her a pouty face like a child.
"I would not do that!" Jinx screamed, her face still flushed. Instinctively her body moved forward, prepared to argue until the end with one hand death gripping the end of her shirt.
"Oh Ekko im so scared," Ekko mocked more. Jinx let out a scream a grabbed for him. Ekko smirked and moved back slightly. Knowing Jinx wouldn't move forward anymore unless she wanted to risk being exposed. She just sat there seething at the boy, her hair shrouding her face.
"What scared I'm gunna see your panties, I already saw them last night, nice color by the way," Ekko giggled like a child, holding a hand up to cover his mouth.
"I AM GOING TO KILL YOU," Jinx finally screamed, letting go of her shirt and jumping on him. Ekko immediately turned to run but she caught him, slamming him down face first into the floor. She straddled his back while he struggled violently the throw her off him.
"H-Hey I was just playing!" Ekko pleaded. Jinx found his neck and placed a hand on either side, "Please don't hurt m-" Ekko let out a scream as she pushed down in the space between his collar bone and shoulder.
"Children should respect their elders," Jinx mocked in his ear as she pressed down harder. After a few seconds if intensifying pain Ekko managed to get his hands under his chest. He quickly lifted himself up, Jinx now riding him like her own personal pony while using his pressure point as rains. He continued with a loud roar and stood all the way up. Jinx clung to his waist, her legs wrapping around him for dear life while she clung to his neck now in a choke hold. With another grunt Ekko leap onto her bead backwards and quickly got up, tearing Jinx's legs from him as he did so. He then ran out the door and into the bathroom after deciding to become a cheetah.
He made it in and slammed the door and locked it, sliding down the back of it as he caught his breath. After a few seconds he got up and looked in the mirror, cringing as he saw his hair and face. The white symbol he painted on was smeared almost all over his face while his normally pristine hair stuck out in every direction but up. He glanced around and found a brush. Then used it to brush the strands back into a standing position. It took him a few minutes but he also managed to get his face clean with some water and a bright pink face cloth he found resting on the sink.
"I'll just paint it back on later," He mumbled to himself as he looked in the mirror, perfecting his hair. Carefully he then leaned his ear against the door, listening for a prowling Jinx. After deciding it was safe he slowly opened the door, looking in all his corners as he did so. He then made his way back to Jinx's room, still being careful to watch for the crazy psycho he called a friend. Relieved to find her sitting in front of her mirror he sighed, walking over to her bed and taking a seat.
She was fully clothed now, brushing her long hair with a brush and carefully separating it into two parts.
"You know…" Ekko trailed off, grabbing his shoes off the floor.
"Hm?" Jinx questioned him, turning as she braided. Two hair ties hung from her mouth as she skillfully worked one side of her head.
"I'm not a kid anymore," He told her, reaching down to put back on his shoes.
"You are to me," she said through closed teeth.
Jinx turned back around, inspecting her work in the mirror as she tied it off at one end.
"You know I'm nineteen now…" Ekko scratched the back of his head nervously. He didn't know why he wanted to tell her. He just did.
"Meh, still a kid," Jinx started to work the other side.
"Seriously? You're only what? Twenty one?" he glared at her.
"Twenty two." Jinx told him as she grabbed the last band from her mouth, tying off the other end of her hair.
"That's only three years! And I'm at least a foot taller then you now!" Ekko argued, standing from his place on her bed.
"But you will always be my baby Ekko," Jinx teased, standing up to face him. She held her hands next to her face like a teenage girl dreaming of a lover. Ekko was about to argue back but was interrupted by a large growl ripping through he air. He awkwardly looked at Jinx's stomach as a silence filled the air.
"So uh…wanna get something to eat?" Ekko asked shyly. Jinx seemed to think deeply for a few moments, weighing the pros and cons of going out to eat. It had been a long time since she really risked it. Usually after some sort of excursion, normally to Piltover, she hid for a few weeks. Only coming out attend the games. Not like they could do anything to her, she was on the neutral island so arresting her was out of their limits. They sure knew how to make it known though that they didn't like her blowing stuff up.
"Sure," She finally decided, against her better judgment. Without a word Ekko followed Jinx to the ladder, grabbing his zero drive and his sword as they walked by the door. They reached the bottom floor and Jinx peeked outside, making sure no surprises awaited them. After gaining some confidence she pushed the door and bounded outside, gladly taking in the sunlight.
"Stop," A voice demanded. Suddenly a gun was pointed to her head from just around the door. Caitlyn stepped closer, cocking the gun at her with a satisfying click. Jinx froze and placed her hands down to her side still processing what was happening and working out a way to escape already. Metal shackles snapped around her wrists.
"You're under arrest." A pink haired woman came out from the left.
"What? Vi?" Ekko questioned from the door way, looking from the shackles then back to Vi.
"You can't arrest me on neutral territory," Jinx laughed.
"We can, and we will," Caitlyn shoved a court document in front of her face. Pictures were paper clipped to the top of the page of robbery. the first picture was of an empty chamber with a single pillar in it, the top of it empty.
"As soon as you stopped the games we could," Vi answered for Caitlyn. The scene depicted was of the mainframe in Piltover that ran the games every week. It was responsible for putting everyone into games, and taking them out. The orb that normally floated above the pillar was the only known one in existence. It also allowed people to teleport to their factions and to the practice arena. It was essentially what powered life in this world and without it life would stop. People would have to boat to other factions, the economy would come to a halt; there would be riots and public outrage.
"WHAT?" Jinx and Ekko screamed at the same time.
This was something that could not be ignored.
