(Note; If you readers' reaaaalllllyyy want more descriptive scenes detailing the matches then pm or review & I'll extend this story with a few, anyways back to the story!)
As Sona awoke with her arms around Ahri she suddenly remembered the night before and blushed at how forward she had been. Ahri rolled over and saw she was awake, before she could say anything however Sona immediately started apologizing. I-I'm so sorry I don't know what got into me last night I-i- we almost I mean… Sona thought trailing off. Blushing at another fact she had yet to tell Ahri, Sona stopped as Ahri started apologizing instead.
"No-no it's not, it's my fault, charm speak is… well, it makes you do stuff you wouldn't normally do." Ahri said looking slightly ashamed.
No no I asked you to, but I thank you for not letting me…well like you said first time and charm speak and all. Sona said looking away embarrassed at … something.
"Wait, you're not a…" Ahri asked noticing her use of vocabulary for the second half of her statement.
As a response Sona simply burned red, avoided eye contact, and nodded shortly.
After a short silence Ahri began giggling to which Sona responded. H-hey it's not mmm. Before having her thoughts cut off with a kiss, which she promptly returned.
"I shouldn't have laid on so much charm speak last night, no wonder you were so aggressive." Ahri smirked.
I-i wasn't, wait why not? Sona tried to defend herself before realizing it was useless and asked her question.
"Welll" Ahri started drawing it out. "As a… virgin…. You're a lot more… sensitive.. to charm magic." Ahri said slowly and seductively before quickly finishing it off with the last three words.
If Sona had anymore thoughts on the subject they were cut off by a short knock and the door opening.
"Oh, My, Goodness, this IS priceless." Fortune laughed from the doorway. "Seems you two had a good night." She said smirking at their appearances. Both had their hair down, and Sona's in particular was a bit of a mess.
"I- it's not" Ahri started to try and cover while Sona thought about the situation and decided it was best just to come clean and before Ahri could speak another syllable closed her mouth around the others. After a short kiss Sona pulled back letting Fortune remark.
"Well.. congratulations and all that stuff, love to hear the story behind this but we have a match pretty soon so, get your lazy butts up and … fix your hair it's all too obvious." Miss Fortune said walking out before popping her head back in to say on last thing. "Oh and there might be a few people coming to you for advice now" She laughed before leaving.
How dare she!, It's a preliminary match!. Sona thought as they waited in the summoner chamber.
"Wait, preliminary as in championship." Ahri asked receiving a nod from Sona, "As in win and you get your wish granted championship!?" receiving another nod the duo then glared at Miss Fortune.
"What? oh yeah about the match, I didn't want to interrupt your little 'love nest'" Fortune smirked before adding. "And if you don't believe that then believe that I'm in this to win and you two aren't gonna stop me from getting revenge on the man that killed my mother." She replied with surprising conviction.
It seemed everyone was out for themselves with this sudden death style system of elimination which only let certain champions advance to the next tier. The system was based upon kills (added points), assists (added points), deaths (subtracted points), and how fast the match was won (or lost) with individuals moving on to the next round and not entire teams. Basically the system took into account all factors to make only the most worthy would move on to the next rounds. The cut-offs were very severe however as not even half would even be allowed to continue in the championship (45 continuing to round 2, then the semi-finals (20), followed by the final teams (10).
Luckily most of the champions that weren't attending specifically for the wish bowed out, or helped someone who was. Surprisingly this included Katarina and Lux, who both helped Sona & Ahri (to the great displeasure of both swain and Garen.) Meanwhile anyone who actually was trying to win and were already disqualified sat around, depressed, in the main hall while their friends tried to cheer them up. Swain on the other hand was absolutely furious that Katarina (even though she qualified for the next round) hadn't hindered anyone on her team, specifically the demacian. Surprised, Sona found both Akali and Nami were disqualified after the first round. The former wishing for her mother (the matriarch) back and the latter needing to find the person bearing a special moonstone that would save her people from destruction.
Sona & Ahri's winning team milled around the two (some trying to comfort others just plain ignoring them). Meanwhile Nami continued to lament. "I-I don't know if –hic- if I can find this person anymore, its just –just hopeless, why does the land out of water have to be so big?!" To which anyone who could hear couldn't help but think it ironic as the ocean seemed much larger.
Sona tried to strum out a few comforting notes but was just met with another cry from the mermaid. "No, it's not going to be okay, I'm never going to find that moonstone!" Before returning to her sobbing, reminding the party very much of a certain mummy.
The mention of a moonstone did seem to pull Katarina's attention, however she said nothing of it. The next match deciding the semi-finalists wouldn't be for several weeks giving many a bit of breathing room to train or generally relax. Or in the case of Sona, officially asking Ahri out to the Halloween event that was coming up.
Unfortunately it was easier said than done, especially when one has to literally suck out part of the others soul to hear them. This particular problem actually seemed to be getting worse as Sona felt exhausted longer and longer after the exchange and it seemed to last shorter and shorter. The most recent being only two days before Ahri couldn't hear Sona completely. Ahri on the other hand was having a harder time controlling herself during the essence draining (and not just with the draining part). The most recent time being that the duo stopped for the singular reason that someone was trying to open the door (Sona finally thought of using the lock beforehand) to invite them to a congratulatory dinner in which all the winners of the last round were basically the guests of honor. During the entire course they received unnerving looks from thresh, and anyone close enough to see how flushed their faces were when they arrived. Luckily Sona quickly drank enough wine that hers was well hidden and eventually caused her to become so drowsy she didn't have the strength to continue their earlier activities. Upon waking the next day Sona very slowly sat up to see Ahri already awake, and sitting next to her bed. Wh-what are you doing up so early? Sona thought squinting through the small amount of filtered light (curtains) filling the room.
Ahri sighed before starting, "It's the nearly four, and" she said opening the curtains flooding the room with sunlight and causing Sona to close her eyes in protest. "I think we should talk." To which Sona responded by widening her eyes in apprehension before quickly squinting again as the sunlight burned her retinas. "I-I'm not going to steal anymore of-of your soul." Ahri stated looking down.
N-No!, you're not stealing anything I'm-I'm giving it to you, I just can't lose this-this connection we have. The maven protested, nearly frantically.
"Sona!," Ahri exclaimed silencing her girlfriend, "Look at yourself!, You're so exhausted you can barely walk sometimes, and you sleep nearly half the day on top of the night!, Its-its not healthy." Ahri practically shouted (unusual for the succubus), and ended nearly in tears.
Suddenly breaking down, Sona quickly enveloped the other in an embrace, I just, don't want to lose you!
Nearly laughing Ahri answered, "You're not going to lose me."
Sadly smiling into the others shoulder, Sona asked while she still could. T-then can we at least go on a date, before you stop being able to hear me. "Of course" And, can we … go to the eh h-halloween dance this week? "Definitely." Somehow though even with all her reassurances, Sona felt as if she was losing something no matter what.
