Chapter 4: How did it turn out like this?!

Swain stood up and walked to the exit of the gazebo, "That is good to hear from the both of you, I hope everything goes swimmingly for the both of you." Riven and Zero were still in some shock as they had both agreed to this plan to get married to each other. All this so Zero's parents come out and using them as bait for the Demacians to strike. Swain then noticed a flash in the distance, it was something reflecting off a weapon. "Zero I suggest you duck." Not even a blink later a gunshot was fired and a 25mm round was flying straight for Zero, with a swift motion he turned to the noise while bringing out his spear. He deflected the round with the tip of the spear and it flew off to the grass just outside the gazebo. Swain had a very amused look on his face as he saw that happen. "Not bad Zero, seems like your father has trained you well." Riven on the other hand had the opposite reaction than Swain.

"Who the hell was that!" Swain then scoffed, "Riven you need to brush up on the people who can battle from long range. That was the Virtuoso, only he and Caitlyn are able to make a shot that far." Swain then took his leave, heading towards the Noxian dorms to inform the rest of the faction the plan he has set in motion. Zero put his spear away then sat back down and held his head trying to absorb everything that just happened... "Great... It hasn't even been a single day and there is already a big target on my head... I shouldn't have left home..." Riven saw Zero being very regretful for making the choice to come here. She placed her hand on his back her other hand on top of his arm then leaned on to him. "Hey, you weren't the only one with a big target on their head. After the poison attack on the village on the Ionia and the moment they found out I was still alive. Not to mention about Yasuo is still hunting me down for the stuff that happened with his elder.

Zero turned to listen to Riven and feel a bit comforted to know that he is not the only person in this place that is being targeted by soo many people. But in the distance he heard footsteps coming from a slightly different direction to where Swain had left. One sounded human and the other set of footsteps sounded very animalistic, turning his head to see who is walking towards them was Nidalee and to the right of her was the Vastayan Pride hunter, Rengar. She was wearing very casual clothes compared to the ones the summoners had designed for her to wear on the rift. While Rengar was wearing his Night hunter outfit minus his fur being a midnight blue. As they got closer Nidalee called out, "Hey Riven! Are you alright? You left the cafe rather early! Vi told us you left with that guy and Swain!" Riven jumped as Nidalee called her out and turned to them.

"Oh! W-well... A lot of stuff happened. It's gonna be take a while to explain." Rengar looked over at Zero and noticed that he was bent over and seemed like he is trying to collect his thoughts. "Riven. Who is that man beside you?" Riven leaned a bit to the edge of the chair but Zero heard Rengar and turned to his voice. Riven returned to her original position as he opened his mouth. "I'm Zero, its a pleasure to meet you." He did his best to keep his calm and collected tone as Nidalee and Rengar continued to walk into the gazebo. As they walked around them to sit on the other side of the table, Rengar noticed the tone in his voice. "The name's Rengar. I admire your courage to try stay calm and collected but I can hear it in your voice Zero. You feel fear right now don't you?" Zero nodded as Nidalee and he took a seat, he then saw the to-go boxes from the cafe and slid them in front of both of them.

"Both of you eat, before you two tell us what happened. My recipes tend to calm people down after very stressful events, that's why there are a lot of people at our cafe." Nidalee turned to Rengar as he reached into his jacket and brought out two packs of a fork with a knife. Then slid the utensils to Riven and Zero. They opened the packets and the boxes to see steak with mashed potato's with a plentiful amount of vegetables. Rengar and Nidalee watched them eat but noticed a smell that wasn't right... Ionian gunpowder... He turned to the source of the smell, then looked over at Zero and Riven. Examining both of them and saw a small but noticeable scratch on the tip of it, "Zero right? Judging by that scratch on your spear you deflected that bullet right?" Zero nodded as he heard Rengar while he was halfway through his meal. "I applaud your skill with that weapon, not many are able to use it." After Zero finished his box he closed it and moved it to the middle. "Thanks, I have used these weapons for a good while. Wait... You said "our cafe" You mean... You and Nidalee own that place?" Zero questioned Rengar.

"Yes they do Zero, Rengar and Nidalee are married and during their off days on the rift they run that cafe we were just at. They call it "The Vastayan hunting den." When I first arrived they helped me get used to the institute and made sure I was doing okay." Zero nodded as Riven explained some small bits about them and the time she spent with them as well. "I see... So you two have been helping Riven out a lot huh?" He asked the both of them and Nidalee smiled, "Yes we have, we are her best friends. We don't really discriminate of what faction you came from. As long as you have a good heart we don't mind at all." Riven placed her box on top of Zero's as Nidalee talked. "So tell us what happened you two." Rengar had finally cut to the chase and wanted to know what happened.

Riven started first and gave her side of the story up until Vi had yelled out Zero's family name. Then it was Zero's turn and gave his side of the story up until the same point but continued on till now. By the time he finished the sun had set and the hextech lights along with the hextech heater's around the gazebo had turned on to make sure everyone was warm during this cold spring night. "So the main point of this is that Swain wants Zero and you to marry right?" Rengar turned to Riven as Zero finished. Nidalee was mostly listening since this was mostly Rengar's kind of lane. "Y-yeah..." Then Rengar turned to Zero, "Just to get your parents out here so they can be used a bait to lure the Demacian faction into an attack so the Noxian faction can launch an ambush. Am I not wrong?" Zero then nodded. With that Rengar let out a loud bellowing laugh. The rest of them were in shock to his sudden burst of laughter.

"R-Rengar?! What is so funny about this?! They are being forced to cooperate with Swain!" Rengar then stopped laughing but had a smile on his face. "Yeah but look at Riven! She is so relaxed with Zero! When was the last time you ever seen her like this with a guy? I never have! Most of them end up being on the floor remember?" Nidalee couldn't help but smile as well. "You're not wrong Rengar, it's safe to say Swain did see something good happening between you two." She couldn't help but agree with Rengar. "Zero you said you just got here right?" Zero then nodded, "Yes I have. My mach match is in a week so I have plenty of time till then." Rengar then clapped his paws together. "Good! I want you two to come to the cafe in the morning! I have an idea to kick start Swain's plan with a surprise!" Nidalee looked at Rengar with a bewildered expression, "What the hell do you have in mind?"

Rengar turned to her, "Just because I am always in the kitchen doesn't mean I don't hear anything. There is a ball happening in Demacia tomorrow night, I am gonna need the both of you to come early tomorrow since it is a Sunday so we can get the proper clothes for you two to wear there. If you two wanna try luring some of the Demacians why not try revealing you're family name at the ball?" Riven immediately stood up to Rengar's suggestion and slammed her hands on the table. "Are you crazy Rengar?! That's basically throwing us into the Baron pit!" Rengar then raised his eyebrows. "Which one of us here can solo baron with a full physical damage build? Yeah we know you're strong Riven, and judging by the weapons Zero has not to mention him being able to deflect one of Jhin's rounds makes him just as dangerous." Zero sighed and stood up. "I'll go along with this plan. If I can shut those stuck up Demacians up tomorrow I am in, plus I get to see Riven in a dress."

Riven lightly punched Zero on the arm since it sounded like he was trying to tease her a bit. "Good. You two better go back first and get some rest." Nidalee told Riven and Zero as they pushed in their chairs, then threw the to-go boxes away in the trash can. Riven then turned to them to wave Nidalee and Rengar good night then clung to Zero's left arm as they made their way to the dormitories.

"Rengar, are you sure about this?" Nidalee was still a bit wary about this idea and leaned onto Rengar's shoulder. "Don't worry they should be fine, plus it is great to see Riven be happy with a guy for once." Nidalee smiled as she saw the form of Zero and Riven walking side by side under the hextech lights leading back to the dorms.

Riven and Zero were coming up to the institute's main building and saw many summoners walking in, out and around. Some going in for late night matches, some leaving matches and other's taking a break and having some snacks on the tables outside. "Riven which dorms do you live in?" Zero asked as they were mid way till the dorms began show up in their view. "I live in the neutral dorms." Zero nodded, "Do you have a roommate?" Riven tilted her head left and right like she was gonna say maybe or something. "Well... it's a yes and no. A couple days ago some movers came to my room, well... The other half of the room to bring in someone's stuff, but that day I didn't really care cause I had to go to a match." Zero then had a questionable look on his face, he was told by the movers that his stuff would be here a couple days ago... Riven's story and the movers scheduled delivery were pretty close... "What are the fucking chances that the stuff delivered to the other room that Riven's stay's at is my stuff?!"

They were coming up close and the doors to the dorm were also hextech operated and opened automatically thanks to a sensor and they walked to the elevator. Zero pressed the button to call down the elevator, when it finally arrived the door opened and Vi was standing there. "Oh! Hey you two! Was everything alright when you guys left with Swain?" Vi asked the two of them but Riven responded to her. "Oh yeah... About that... A lot of things happened... But Rengar and Nidalee apparently followed us, you already know how I am with them! I tell 'em nearly everything Vi! Though everything is okay now, don't worry about it." Riven had a smile and everything to make sure Vi didn't feel guilty for what she did earlier. Vi let out a sigh of relief then left the elevator and the two walked in while waving good bye for the day. "Take care you two!" She yelled as the doors closed and Riven pressed a floor. But Zero tried his best not to look so if his assumptions were right he wouldn't freak out.

"So, you and Vi are pretty close friends huh?" Zero asked as the elevator began to move upwards, Riven nodded against his arm and had a soft smile on her face. "Yeah, mostly because me and her are pretty tomboyish sometimes but we have our girly moments. Though she likes it when we are on the same team on the rift since we tend to stomp on the enemy team most of the time." By the time Riven had finished they had gotten to the floor Riven chose, and when the doors opened Zero saw the sign was the fifth floor. "Shit..." He thought to himself as Riven took the first step and he followed suit, then his stomach sank a bit as she turned towards the lower numbered rooms. Riven then stopped at room 508... "Alright here is my room Zero! Thanks for walking me ho-" Before she could finish thanking him, Zero let out an unsatisfied grunt. "Wha?! What's wrong? Are you sad that the date is over?" She frantically asked but Zero knew his answer all to well, then placed his hand on the door to room 508 "Wai- What are you doing?!"

Riven was bewildered to what Zero was doing but then she heard the door to her room click and Zero reached for the knob then turned it to go inside. "I also live here... That stuff you saw being moved in here a couple days ago was my stuff..." Riven stood there shocked as all this happened. "WHAT ARE THE FUCKING CHANCES (Me of fucking course -EmperorZafkiel) THAT ALL THIS IS COINCIDENCE?!"

the Head Summoner's office...

Head Summoner Devanna was reading some articles and a report about Jhin firing a round on Institute ground's, but then she sneezed out of nowhere. "Ugh! I better not be getting sick..." She then felt a chill run down her spine.

Back at room 508 and the hallway...

Someone had gotten up and angrily opened their door to Riven's sudden yelling, but it was none other than Caitlyn. "HEY PIPE IT DOWN! I AM TRYING TO GET SOME SLEEP HERE!" Riven ran into the room and hastily opened her side then hid, Zero on the other hand stood there for a few seconds then did the same. Both of them were stunned to find out not only did they meet earlier today but they are also living together... Zero took off his weapons then made his summoner robe tangible and hung it up. Taking off his clothes he wore tonight and threw them into the hamper, he grabbed some shorts and a tank top. Then left his closet making sure the light was off and closed the door. Riven however walked over to his side, closed his door and poked her head passed the entrance. "Uhhh... Sorry for intruding..." Zero turned to her and smiled, "Oh don't worry you're always welcomed to my ro-"

Before he could finished Riven had turned down the light setting then stepped out from behind to entrance and was wearing a black lingerie set. He was utterly speechless, then she walked up to him and placed her hand on his chest. Instinctively he had taken a step back towards his bed then she took a step forward, this continued until the back of his legs hit the bed. Zero then fell backwards onto his bed and moved to the center, Riven got onto the bed and crawled up to him. She then pulled the sheets over them and snuggled up to him as the room was rather cold with the A/C blowing. "Good night Zero." She smiled as she easily fell asleep, Zero though was laying there motionless.

"What a crazy fucking day... First I run into Riven at the gate, then we meet again at the fountain, then we end up at a cafe, THEN WE GET ROPED INTO A PLAN WHERE WE HAVE TO MARRY! Then we find out we live in the same dorm room and now she is sleeping all snug up next to me... Well... I didn't have to struggle to look for a girlfriend... Now I feel like one of those nobles that get roped into arranged marriages... But this all happened by chance..." As Zero get's lost in his sea of thoughts he finally went to sleep and unconsciously turned his body towards Riven and cuddled her in his arms. Several hours pass as the two look happy sleeping together, soon enough the sun began to creep through the curtain's gaps...

I hope you like the crazy twist I threw in and no! I am not making this convenient for the both of them living together by chance and that meaning they can bang already! We still got the ball to happen in Chapter 5!

Till then!ごっきげにょ‼
