I just realized that I had I as Muzzy's door neighbor in Chapter 6.

Whoops...

I'll fix it, but I've had a long week and finals really took it out of me. Thanks for waiting for this chapter, it has been a while huh? Sorry about the delay, I had finals, projects, and procrastination problems. I hope this chapter makes of up for the delay. Read on.

I woke up groggily.

Uhn...

My pillow was really soft and... was moving?

Oh yeah. I had used Muzzy as my pillow again.

So comfortable...

I snuggled deeper into his chest.

Muzzy grumbled slightly in his sleep, but a smile graced his features.

He's so cute...

It was almost unfair, really, the way he wasn't even trying to hold my attention.

Almost.

Feeling the blood rush to my face, I gently set my head down, listening to the rhythm of his body.

His arms suddenly tightened against me and his face scrunched up, but as soon as it started, it stopped. Muzzy's face relaxed, another smile threatening to conquer his face.

The nightmares had become shorter after the incident a few days ago. Ever since then, we had shared my room and slept with each other.

No dirty stuff though.

I don't care what information the Summoners gave out, we are not 'doing it'.

Although, I would like to have some fun. But that's for another time, for another story.

It turns out, Muzzy's chest is a lot more comfortable than it sounds. I think I got an extra five hours of sleep in the last few days.

When I asked about his past, the request for the information would be denied. I guess he's still getting over it. He has been giving me little hints here and there, gently prodding my thoughts in the right direction. And a lot to ponder as well.

Oh, he's waking up.

Muzzy's dark brown eyes fluttered open. I stared right back.

Suddenly realizing he was being observed, he jolted, ever so slightly. I giggled.

Muzzy rolled his eyes sleepily. "Sonaaa... Stop doing that..."

I smiled mischievously, But it's funny!

"No..."

I patted his chest, Be a good boyfriend and let me rest okay? Then we can go down together.

He sighed, contented. "Okay."
We both sighed quietly, relaxing in my plush comforter.

I was about to slip away into the dream land when Muzzy started playing with my hair.

I wasn't sure if he was intentionally keeping me awake or not. But he was letting my strands run through his fingers quietly enough, so I assumed he didn't know about my irritation. I let him play around with it until I felt a tiny nudge on my stomach.

His movements halted abruptly and I felt him desperately trying to calm himself down.

I guess he must have a weird interest in my hair. Or my body, in general.

Oh well.

Muzzy stopped playing with my hair after that. I decided to let it be known that I was awake.

Do you really like my hair that much? I teased aloud.

"I!" Muzzy said, surprised. He blushed deeply after that. "How l-long were you awake for?"

I giggled gently, my head still resting on his chest. Well, I was about to fall asleep until my hair suddenly caught your attention.

"E-erm... Did you feel, I mean, did you uh..." Muzzy stumbled over his words and I finally took pity for him.

Oh don't worry.

He visibly relaxed.

I felt everything~

Muzzy's entire body stiffened, "A-ah... Sorry about earlier then..."

Lifting my head, I looked into his eyes, patting his cheek reassuringly, Oh don't worry too much. It's just part of growing up.

"R-right..."
I sat up, yawning.

Muzzy somehow managed to get out of the bed completely silent and dress without me noticing.

This had occurred for the past few days that he had stayed here. While I changed, he disappeared into the bathroom and then reappeared as soon as I was done. It was like magic, he just suddenly appeared by my side, completely clothed and awake.

Today was no exception, as soon as I finished putting my hair up into its signature double ponytail, he was suddenly there, standing quietly.

I decided to ask today, How do you do that?

Muzzy looked at me, confused. "Do what?"

You seem to disappear into midair and then teleport straight to my side.

He looked at me strangely, "I was just respecting your privacy."

I rolled my eyes, exasperated, But you did it while making no noise. Like, no sound at all.

Muzzy was confused, "I did?"

Staring at him, I said, You aren't even trying to do that?

He stared right back, "No. Well, at least, I don't notice myself doing that. I just wait until you're done changing so I can come back."
I sighed, dropping the matter.

Where do you want to have breakfast today?
We always went to the cafeteria, but sometimes we just wanted to be alone.

Muzzy shrugged, "Wherever is fine with me today."

Okay, let's go!

Slipping on some socks (Pink ones today, I don't know why), Muzzy went to open the door for me.

Hand in hand, one walking, one floating (admittedly, an inch off the ground), we made our way down the hall.

I guess we'll go back to eating in the cafeteria. People might make up their own conclusions.

We hadn't told anyone that we were sharing a room.

Muzzy shrugged, "Sure."

I pressed the button for the elevator and waited.

The elevator dinged open almost instantly.

We were met by a half full elevator.

Twisted Fate stood in the corner next to Elise, silently tipping his hat our way. Vi nodded to me and grinned at Muzzy. Caitlyn stood next to Vi and waved. Riven was chatting with Yasuo in the opposite corner. Yasuo noticed us and gave a discreet wave.

Muzzy gently tugged on my arm, pulling me into the elevator.

I pressed the button for the cafeteria as the elevator lapsed into conversation once more.

Can you hear this?

Startled, I turned to Muzzy. Huh?

The raven haired Summoner grinned, I didn't know I could talk to you like this.

I was confused, no one else had been able to do this before. How are you doing that?

Muzzy shrugged, I just focus on your face and think my words.

I realized that's how I talk to people as well; I have to think of their face before thinking. That's interesting.

Yep.

After a pause, I'm pretty sure Yasuo is laughing at me behind my back.

Yeah, and Riven is totally smirking at me.

How much do you want to bet?

I thought for a moment, I bet our time in bed that they are making fun of us.

Muzzy flushed and I smirked. Not fair! What if they aren't?

Oh? So you like being in bed with me?

Muzzy went even deeper red. Yes! I mean, like, not like that but, oh you know what I mean!

I patted his arm, I get it, I get it. I'm going to look back.

Sure enough, Riven was smirking over her shoulder and Yasuo was hiding his mouth behind his hand, shaking silently.

I saw them holding hands though. Taking a mental image of their hands, I sent a quick message to Riven. Riven went slightly pink, but didn't stop smirking. I rolled my eyes, turning back to Muzzy.

Yep, just as we thought.

Muzzy sighed, relieved.

The elevator dinged open once more. Muzzy tugged on my arm again, leading me to the cafeteria. Once we got our food, we were joined by Riven and Yasuo.

Muzzy hardly glanced up, "Hey you two."

Yasuo grinned from across the table, "How was the elevator ride?"

I responded, Pretty good 'cause I was wondering if you two have fun last night.

There is nothing more satisfying then a successful comeback when you have two blushing faces in front of you.

The pair quickly ducked their heads and dug into their breakfast.

Muzzy finished his breakfast at his usual ungodly speed and got up, carrying his tray with him.

Riven stared at his retreating back, "How the food get down that fast? It just disappears."

I shrugged, I don't know. But that's just how he is.

Then Muzzy was suddenly there, by my side, his hand extended with my usual cupful of juice.

Unfazed, I took the cup, taking a sip. Riven had gone wide-eyed and Yasuo's fork hovered in front of his face.

Muzzy looked at them, confused. "What's up with those two?"

I shrugged again, I don't know.

Muzzy dropped the matter, temporarily distracted by Vi, who passed by our table while scuffing Muzzy on the head.

"Hey!" He complained, "I'll get you back!"

"Try and catch me Muzz!" Vi called back.

"Nah," Muzzy muttered, turning back to the table, "Too lazy."

"And I thought I was lazy," Yasuo teased.

"I'm not chasing that woman around for some childish game she invented," Muzzy said, exasperated.

Yasuo just shrugged in response.

A few minutes passed and then the clock struck nine.

The announcer's voice rang out, "The Rift is now open!"

Muzzy got up, "See you guys later."

I waved at him, "Same place?"

He nodded, turning toward his waiting friends.

Yasuo stretched, yawning, "I'm gonna warm up."

Riven got up, wiping her mouth, "I'll go with you."

I winked at her, levitating myself, I'll see you all later.

Sending me an exasperated look, Riven followed Yasuo out of the cafeteria.

Walking over the practice arena, my memories flashed back to Muzzy's spear.

The High Counselor had only explained this phenomenon once. Apparently, there was only one prerequisite. The partners had to be soulmates.

I blushed and covered my cheeks. Soulmates.

The very word was embarrassing. It was like a cliché romance story. Of course, those were never real right?

You know that's not true. The little voice popped back into her head.

I rolled my eyes inwardly. Whatever.

The voice was right, however, even if I wanted to deny it. I wanted to believe that Muzzy was my soulmate. It was natural to want that right? I haven't even had a proper date with him, but we're sharing a bed.

This time, the voice sent me an eyeroll. Soulmates don't need dates.

I had learned that answering would get me nowhere, so I ignored the comment.

Setting the target simulator on the hardest difficulty, I summoned my etwahl.

My instrument hummed, annoyed that she hadn't been summoned for a while now.

Two days, or was it three? I lost count.

Sorry, sorry, I murmured, I was with someone.

The etwahl produced a rising set of notes.

Yes, the one you saved multiple times.

This time, a hum sounded, almost like a smirk.

Is everyone making fun of me now?

The etwahl let out a light, laughing hum.

Yeah, yeah.

Starting up the target generator, I strummed my instrument with precision, creating two bolts of music toward the targets.

As more and more targets started to overwhelm me, the system stopped itself, showing New Highscore! onthe screen above me.

The etwahl hummed approvingly.

Sighing, I glanced up.

9:54.

I'd better go before my team got angry.

Practicing my pieces while floating down the hall was normal for me, so I didn't get any weird looks as I played. At least, when I didn't make any mistakes.

I barely made it to the prep room before the starting bell sounded. Today's announcing summoner could be barely heard through the closed double doors. Looking around, my team looked pretty fresh today I noted.

Graves, the so-called 'carry'. If that meant killing the entire opposing team with apparent ease, then yeah, a carry.

Twisted Fate, the middle laner. As my eyes roved over him, he tipped his hat with his signature smirk appearing right below the hat's brim.

Elise, the 'jungler'. I could have sworn I saw Elise staring at Fate's back, but it probably was just a trick of the light.

Darius, the top laner. He stood away from the others, probably because of his home city, Noxus. Everyone knew that Noxus was notorious for its brutal ways. I had seen him walking around with Luxanna lately. Hm... I would have to ask about that later.

I was the star support of the team. Although I would sometimes be called to play on different teams, I liked this team the best. Even if Darius wasn't all that chummy, we worked together smoothly.

As the doors started to open, Fate and Graves shared a smirk. Darius shifted, hefting his axe, nodding to the two outcasts. Elise tapped Fate on his shoulder and, as he turned, patted his head.

I played a chord, happy that my team was still in tip-top shape. Elise smiled back, Darius gave a nod, Fate tipped his hat once more, and Graves gave a mock salute.

Light shining through the now fully open doors, we paraded out into the Rift, taking their positions.

I focused, establishing my Summoner Connection.

Hello? I asked.

:) was all I got in response.

Well, at least I knew who it was.

So, you figured it out huh? Took you long enough.

Hush, you never even told me how to do it in the first place.

Eh, that was true.

Returning I attention to the match, I noticed Vayne on the opposite side of the lane. In a valentine suit.

Smirking, I waved to the other woman. Vayne glared at me, cycling her first crossbow bolt into her weapon. Noticing Leona standing beside her, I waved again. Leona waved back; we had a friendly relationship.

As the lane fell into the first phase, Graves did what he did best, push hard. His shotgun blew scattered pieces of buckshot straight into the minion's faces, pushing them back. Everytime Vayne or Leona got a little to close, I would let a strong strum, directing my pulses toward either one of them. Sometimes, they would step just out of range and I would let the residue magic strike a minion.

Muzzy's voice filled my head. Elise is here. Mellie says they are going to try take the tower.

I shivered at the mention of the tower. It was a massive structure, only six feet wide, but fifteen feet in height. Not only that, but it could fire superheated bolts that left serious burns.

I replied, Okay. Tell them to wait for my signal.

Affirmative.

His voice left my head and I had a moment of emptiness. Shaking myself off, I went over the river, carefully placing a ward. Pulling a little orb off my waist, I activated it and tossed it into the bush. It revealed a single opposing ward standing dutifully where Leona placed it. Strumming my etwahl a little harder, I hit the ward, destroying it.

Nodding to Graves, we fell back a little, letting Vayne push our lane. As we watched Vayne, the announcer's voice sounded again.

First Blood!

Muzzy spoke, that was Callion. Darius just... 'dunked'. That's what he calls it anyway.

Nice! Tell Callion I said 'hi'.

Will do.

His presence faded.

And the emptiness, again.

Focusing once more on the battle, Vayne had pushed up, so close I could see her smirk.

Graves nudged me, "Not the time to be fantasizing about your lover boy. Focus."

Yeah, yeah.

Graves smirked back, but I ignored it.

I focused my energy and called to my etwahl. A wide path of magic erupted off my instrument, heading straight for Vayne and Leona.

Vayne noticed it a second too late and was caught by the beam. Leona was hit moments later.

It was quite funny to see the pair dancing in the middle of a battle.

As Graves dashed forward, hungry for the kill, I called to Elise. Now!

Elise, in a form of a giant spider, lunged out of the river, severely damaging Vayne and Leona. Graves wiped up the last couple seconds of life from them, sending them into respawn. Elise reverted back into her... partially... human form and gave Graves a high five. I played a gentle tune, thanking Elise. She nodded to me, then came closer.

"Can I talk with you afterwards?" Elise whispered. She seemed... shy, somehow.

Smiling and nodding back, I played an 'affirmative' on my etwahl.

Elise smiled and waved, disappearing into the jungle once more.

The rest of the game went smoothly, Graves completely destroying everything in his path.

Twisted Fate was somehow always there, watching Graves' six, stunning enemies for his partner.

Darius led every charge, bashing opponents with his axe.

Elise stood in the back with me, striking quickly and retreating.

I constantly played a melody, boosting my teammates' confidence.

As we made a final push, the nexus exploded, signaling the end of the game.

Teleporting out the Rift, my team received much applause and even the opposing team congratulated us on our victory.

The best moment was when I reached the end of the hall, and Muzzy stood there, staring at me with a happy smile. Drifting over to him, I reached down, hugging him. The crowd behind us erupted in cheers as Muzzy hugged me back.

Kinda short this time, I'll make the chapters longer now that school's out. Thanks for all the readers that still read this story.

On a side note, I'm making another story. Do you guys want me to complete this story first? Or do you want another one to read? Or both? Leave your opinion as a review, PM's don't really work for me :/

Thank again!

Until next time, IJM out.
