ACT 10
The clock on the wall was only about to declare the time in the household officially eight o'clock, yet K/DA's personal gym room was filled with music fit for workouts. Akali can already be found enthusiastically exercising in the mentioned room, the poor punching bag hanging at one area suffering the energized punches and kicks for the past hour.
A tiny smile can be spotted on the rapper's lips ever since she had woken up from one of the most fulfilling slumbers she had ever fallen in. The curve never left her lips. Even now, it was still haunting her face as she huffed and puffed every once and a while.
Letting out a huff of air, Akali stepped back and did a few stretches. She was feeling more hyperactive than she usually did, and just by the thought of the source of this energy was enough to fill her up to the brim. She felt like she could never get tired. How could she if she felt like she was at the highest point of her life? It was refreshing.
Last night was a complete whirlwind of reality. There were things said that shouldn't have been said in the first place, tears that weren't needed to be shed, details of the past that were unintentionally forgotten and touches that could only be considered a series of mortal sins.
No matter how grave those physical actions can be deemed, it instilled not an ounce of regret within the two women that had ultimately succumbed to their heart's desires and intimately involved themselves with one another. They might be called sins, but the pair knew from the very bottom of their hearts that they would change nothing if they were given the chance to do such thing.
Akali audibly exhaled as she left the punching bag alone and settled one of the weight benches. She took the lightest pair of fixed dumbbells before she laid onto the cushioned seat, eyes staring up at the ceiling as she began her lifting exercise. Despite starting her workout nearly an hour ago, Akali still felt like she could go on for more. Hell, it felt like she needed to do more.
The more Akali worked out, not only did it make her feel like she was using her overflowing energy wisely, but she also couldn't stop her brain from rewinding the memory of her carrying Evelynn with her very own hands. It was an immensely fulfilling moment for her. She somehow showed Evelynn that she could physically keep up with her. Maybe even surpass the diva if they were to put the rapper's stamina to the test.
This particular concept fueled her determination in working out even more than she usually did. Even when she was still training in her family's dojo, she was never this eager to exercise and improve her strength. Desire sure was a limitless source of resolve.
Just the other night, she was rejected and she had her heart crushed by the very first woman she found herself attracted to. By some divine miracle though, the truth was suddenly pulled out of hiding.
Evelynn likes her back.
The rejection she suffered? It was only because of the concern the diva had for Akali and her well-being. Knowing this heartwarming fact, it greatly hastened the mending process of her once shattered heart.
Akali still felt confused with her sexuality though. She's completely sure that she likes Evelynn in a much deeper level, but that didn't entirely help with her figuring out her sexual orientation. Coming from a traditional family, she was told and showed that man and woman are the only pairings that should exist and be acknowledged.
Maybe she should give her cousins a call. They may be distant relatives, but they were still family. They might also be the only ones that could help Akali with this dilemma of hers concerning her sexuality. After all, they're more open-minded than her old-fashioned parents, so there's a much higher chance for them to offer her advice that she's seeking for.
One thing's for sure, she would gladly kiss Evelynn over and over again. The sensations it gave her, the emotions it drove wild within her, everything about the intimate act was utterly phenomenal and Akali had no intention in letting such feeling escape her.
Mind mainly focused on the thoughts of K/DA's siren, Akali continued her exercise with her eyes absently directed to the pristine ceiling of the room and ears half-listening to the music pouring out of the speakers of the sound system.
At the doorway of the room, an amber-eyed beauty can be seen wearing a small smile as she watched the rapper keep herself in shape with the exercise equipment they owned. Those firm muscles flexed and drops of sweat can be found either forming or trailing down. They were proof that the freestyler had been there for quite some time now.
Evelynn's eyes glazed over Akali's well-built body, which was only covered with black and green compression pants and a matching sports bra. So much exposed skin was no problem at all, for Evelynn deemed it a view she'll never grow tired of. In fact, she was becoming fonder of it with each second that passed with her doing nothing but admiring the 'scenery'.
She had merely arrived at the gym room a couple of minutes ago, but instead of proceeding into the room and making her presence known immediately, Evelynn chose to lean on the doorway and observe for the time being. The diva herself was wearing a pair of black and gold compression shorts that tightly hugged her butt and made the rump's shape more obvious and a plain black sports bra which was covered with a white low side tank top.
A few minutes later, Evelynn finally pushed herself away from the doorway and started towards the exercising female. While closing the distance between them, her brain concocted a rather brilliant introduction for her 'exercise plan' today.
Her approach was perfectly timed. Akali had closed her eyes and taken a deep breath, giving Evelynn the opportunity to come near her without being seen. The music from the background was enough to cover her quiet footsteps, so all the vocalist needed to do was to vanquish the gap between the two of them.
...
...
...
Akali visibly jumped when a firm weight suddenly landed on her lap, startling her out of her stupor. The dumbbells she was holding were almost dropped on the floor in the process of her eyes snapping open and quickly regarding what was on top of her.
"Eve!?"
Right there on her lap, Evelynn can be found comfortably settled, that smile of hers that showed nothing but feigned innocence shaping those beautiful lips. The older female performed a few arm stretches, breaking their eye contact every second or two as she did.
"Good morning to you, too." Evelynn greeted, chuckling as she rolled her shoulders after the most recent arm stretch she did.
Akali made a move to put down the weights she was holding, but when the fingers of the goddess touched her unclad midriff, her body froze and the muscles underneath the fingertips tensed. Her hand briefly looked at the hand on her stomach before she raised her gaze back up and met Evelynn's eyes.
"Ah-ah-ah." Evelynn wagged a finger at her with her free right hand. "Don't stop on my watch, darling."
"But...-"
"Shush yourself."
Evelynn smiled as she leaned down and pressed herself over Akali, face swiftly heading for the neck of the rapper. Of course the azure-eyed artist was quick to react in return. Akali honestly did not know if she should carefully let go of the weights she had in her grasp or if she should just abandon it without much thought about the possible ruckus it could cause. Her decision was made easier the second she felt something wet slide against the side of her neck.
"H-Hey! Eve!" Akali tried pulling her neck away from the woman. "Don't do that!"
"Why shouldn't I?" Came the defiant question, which was followed with a husky chuckle.
"I'm covered in sweat! And...! And...! It's gross!"
Embarrassment colored Akali's cheeks while she finally dropped the dumbbells on the floor. The equipment emitted two audible thuds upon impact, but it didn't really reach the occupied pair's sense of hearing. Akali grasped the diva's shoulders, but she couldn't bring herself to push the singer away.
"Precisely why you should just stay still." Evelynn murmured, one hand moving up and clutching Akali's ponytail to keep her from making any more head movements. "I'm trying to clean you, darling. Be thankful."
With a hand gripping her ponytail, a sexy body perched atop her and a moist tongue licking at her sweat-blanketed neck, how in all things Holy and damned can Akali put a stop to this?
"Eve..." Akali unconsciously leaned in to the touch of the other, who hummed as she moved up and flicked her tongue at the rapper's earlobe. "Ah...!"
"You're quite reactive, aren't you?" Evelynn slowly retracted and returned to her previous position, taking most of her warmth with her as she did. She made sure to lick her lips at the very moment Akali opened her eyes and caught sight of her face. She was truly enjoying the salty taste of the perspiration layering the freestyler's skin, so it was a bit of a shame that she stopped her tongue's ministrations.
Akali sat up, leaving only an inch or two of space between hers and Evelynn's chest. She slightly narrowed her eyes at the diva, while she was internally holding herself back in touching the place where she felt the beauty's tongue had glided over a mere moment ago.
"Are you teasing me again?"
"Always with that accusation." Evelynn said, acting as if she was hurt with such question.
"Eve."
"Yes, darling?"
Instead of pushing the topic, Akali's words turned into a quiet exhalation of air. Hers and Evelynn's faces were so close to one another. It was like a replay of last night. If it was, Akali surely would not mind the next step that would follow. Evelynn, who was still patiently waiting for another response from Akali, moved her hands and hastily acquired a clutch on the rapper's shoulders.
Why you wonder?
Maybe because Akali abruptly grabbed her by the hips and pulled her closer than she already was. It was sudden and unexpected, yet wordlessly welcomed by the diva.
"Kiss me." Akali murmured, intently gazing into Evelynn's surprised ambers.
Evelynn opened her mouth to ask for a little clarification, to know if Akali was serious or not, but the words never came. It's a good thing, too, since it would be weird if she could coherently talk, especially if there was a pair of lips trying to conquer hers.
Akali had not bothered in waiting and chose to take advantage of the opening. She had moved in and tried doing what Evelynn had done to her the previous night. Unlike Evelynn's confident and aggressive tongue strokes, Akali's version was more timid and somewhat unsure. She was learning. Exploring. She was trying to recall and imitate how the diva had blown her mind last night.
It was unsuccessful.
The corners of Evelynn's lips slightly curved upward. The kiss she was experiencing was probably the most awkward kiss she ever had in her entire life. It was messy and and clumsy. Clearly, this was the first time Akali had initiated a make-out with another person.
Evelynn found it absolutely adorable.
The kiss went on for a couple more seconds before Akali pulled back and surveyed her handiwork. There was a drop of saliva dripping at the corner of Evelynn's lips and the thought of such little thing being a product of their exchange sent a spike of arousal within the rapper. Akali's cheeks became one red shade darker when Evelynn wiped it off with the pad of her thumb before licking it off.
"Was that your first time leading a kiss?" Evelynn asked, smiling in amusement.
"Urusai!" Akali turned her head away, silently wishing she had her hair down to cover her flushed face. Judging by the amused expression on the singer's face, Akali knew she failed with her attempts in appearing experienced when it came to these types of interactions.
Chuckling, Evelynn shook her head before lightly holding Akali by her jaw and turning her back for their eyes to meet again. The blue-eyed female thankfully complied with her wishes, wordlessly allowing her to reconnect their gazes. Akali might not know it, but Evelynn's heart was beating as fast as her own. Moments like this are exactly the reason why they both felt like their hearts would burst any second now.
"By the way," Evelynn smirked. "weren't you the one who asked for a kiss?"
The question was asked, yet Akali had no chance in even processing it. Not even bothering to wait for an appropriate reply, Evelynn's lips descended over Akali's in a heartbeat. She had no difficulty in prying open the rapper's soft lips, which didn't really put much of a resistance. The slick muscle the diva owned intruded once again in Akali's mouth and invaded it with as much vigor than the last.
Akali could only close her eyes and surrender to the skillful tongue that easily subdued her own when she attempted fighting back. A hand clutched and pulled at her ponytail again, which resulted in Akali releasing a moan in the middle of the ongoing intense kiss. Her hands moved up and boldly snuck into the open sides of Evelynn's shirt, nearly moaning again once her fingertips touched the smoothest skin it had ever came in contact with. One of her fingers delicately ran down the lower part of Evelynn's spine and much to Akali's immense satisfaction, it inspired a quiet moan from the dominating woman.
"You..." Evelynn abruptly broke the kiss, gripping Akali by her ponytail to prevent her from pulling or looking away. She brought her left hand up, using her index finger to trace the saliva-glazed lower lip of the rapper. "...are just wonderful."
Feeling mildly breathless and lightly blushing at the sincere words, Akali did her best to keep herself from trembling completely in Evelynn's grasp. What a way to start her day this was.
"Arigatou..." Akali whispered, her tongue sneaking a little lick at the fingertip teasing her lips. The small yet bold gesture was not missed and the pleased gleam in those amber orbs were enough to tell Akali that the goddess before her did not mind it.
"For what? The kiss?"
"For looking my way."
Evelynn quirked an eyebrow. "What are you saying, Rogue?"
"I just..." Akali closed her eyes and buried her face in Evelynn's chest, her arms encircling the diva's waist and tightening significantly. "I didn't think I'd have a chance like this."
"To be able to press your face against my chest?" The question was laced with humor, while said emotion can be found on the vocalist's face.
Akali chuckled quietly, nuzzling her face deeper into the soft bosom of the other woman. "This one's just a big bonus."
"I knew you were only after my body." Evelynn joked, her smile widening when Akali abruptly pulled back and looked up at her with a disbelieving gaze and a visible shade of red on those cute cheeks.
"N-No!" Akali shook her head furiously. "I like you for who you are! Not just your body."
"Oh?" Evelynn leaned close, smirking. "Prove it."
"Prove it?"
"Mm-hm."
Akali's eyes looked to the right, then left, before returning to Evelynn. "Prove it how?"
"Think of something." Evelynn released her hair and moved her hand to Akali's cheek, caressing the rapper with a soft touch. "I'm quite sure you'll be able to come up with at least one idea."
"Umm..." Akali averted her gaze, trying to conjure up a method that would tell Evelynn how much she actually values her. How could Akali show Evelynn that she meant more to her than she really thinks? It's true that there are many ways in doing such, but...-
"Akali? Eve?" Came Ahri's voice from the down the hall. "Is anyone there?"
While Evelynn's eyes widened at the sound of her friend's voice, Akali's panic shot up and practically electrocuted her. As if that's exactly what happened, Akali suddenly jumped and got on her feet. Unfortunately, Evelynn was not able to save herself from the unexpected shift.
A clear thud! filled the room and was able to be heard through the music and by the K/DA leader, who soon walked into the room after the diva's graceless landing on the floor. Akali flushed red when she realized what she did, while Ahri regarded Evelynn with a highly amused look.
"What happened to you?" Ahri asked, a small grin appearing on her face.
Since they have yet to talk about their little press release to their fellow bandmates, Akali decided to keep hers and Evelynn's newly developed relationship under wraps. They should probably discuss what they'll be doing and what they should reveal. After all, this affair affects them both.
"Eve was teasing me again!" Akali answered for the two of them in a manner louder than necessary, awkwardly gesturing at the woman on the floor.
Evelynn was getting up from the ground, one hand rubbing her rump to ease the mild soreness it was now sustaining thanks to Akali practically throwing her off of her. She had to stop herself from shooting the rapper a look, knowing she looked like an entertaining spectacle to her blonde friend. Oh, Akali was surely getting it later.
Ahri laughed and shook her head. "You totally deserved that fall, Eve."
"I suppose I did..." Evelynn murmured, momentarily eyeing Akali with narrowed eyes before turning her attention to their group's leader. "You're in an awfully good mood."
"I am?" Ahri trailed her gaze to the side, cheeks lightly reddening. "Probably just woke up on the right side of the bed."
"Oh, I highly doubt that."
Akali began to inch away from Evelynn, her eyes taking one last glance at the shapely derrière of the diva, which the latter was still rubbing. She allowed the playful banter of the other two to continue until she was at the doorway, choosing only that time to make her presence noticeable again.
"Hey, I'm just going to go take a shower." Akali notified the pair, trying her best to ignore the sharp look from a particular amber-eyed woman. "I've been working out for the past hour, so, yeah, I should go."
Ahri gave her a nod and smile. "Could you also check if Bokkie is awake? I think she wants to talk to you about some...-"
Suddenly, Ahri cut herself off. Realization struck her like how an arrow would hit the red center of its target the moment she took notice of the lack of hostility and tension between the diva and the rapper of K/DA. Glancing between the mentioned two, Ahri wore a confused expression as she continued with a different thought.
"Wait, aren't you two mad at each other?"
Evelynn placed a hand on her hip and raised an eyebrow. "Do you want us to be?"
"What? No! Of course not." Ahri then gestured between the two of them. "But where did all the tension go? I seriously thought this was going to be some sort of crazy speed bump for the group."
"All has been settled, darling." Evelynn said, dismissively waving a hand at the honey-eyed vocalist.
"All? As in, everything?" Ahri now focused her eyes on Evelynn, her critical gaze asking the other woman if she was also referring to the subject of their conversation yesterday.
"Yes, yes, everything."
"And is there something I should know or...?"
Akali looked back and forth with Evelynn and Ahri, completely clueless about the serious talk the pair of friends had with each other literally a day ago.
"All has been put aside and discussed." Evelynn responded back with a lightly exasperated sigh. "In short, there is nothing for you to worry about."
Ahri's expression lightened almost immediately, relieved that nothing drastic had changed or would affect their band. "Oh, well, that's great."
"Aren't you going to shower?" Evelynn looked past her friend and generously provided Akali her escape ticket once again. The blue-eyed rapper perked up and nodded, laughing a tad bit sheepishly.
"Y-Yeah. See you guys later."
Akali turned away and began to walk back to her room, a sigh of relief leaving her once she couldn't hear Evelynn and Ahri's voices. She may act like everything was going smooth with her, but deep inside, her heart was going mad.
Evelynn had successfully deflected Ahri's prodding, mainly towards the results of the issue she and the diva had settled last night. The answer she gave was vague, but it was enough to sate the FOXY model.
Maybe Evelynn wasn't ready to come out to their bandmates yet, and honestly? Akali wasn't really ready herself. She was still figuring all this out, so she was thankful that Evelynn decided to agree with her in keeping their relationship a secret.
With the secrecy of their romantic involvement somehow resolved for now, Akali was left to think about what she should do for Evelynn. She wasn't really sure if the older woman was serious about Akali needing to prove her love for her.
Even if she wasn't, Akali still felt like she needed to it. She wanted Evelynn to feel loved, and that's because Akali was sincerely attracted to her, not just her body. That's one of the few things Akali was completely serious about. She truly likes Evelynn and would want the beautiful singer to know how much her feelings weighed.
Maybe she could ask Kai'Sa for some help?
Speaking of Kai'Sa, Akali abruptly halted in front of the said female's room while the memory of the dancer cuddling with Evelynn on the couch flashed in her mind. She took a step back as she shook her arms at her sides, trying to banish the creeping feeling of jealousy. It was an emotion she had been awfully well-acquainted with lately.
Kai'Sa was affectionate to nearly everyone she met in the industry. The quirky artist was like a life-size Care Bear. She totally loves hugging and snuggling with not only Evelynn, but with Ahri and her as well. It's just coincidental that Kai'Sa hadn't recently been touchy with her or Ahri. Regardless of that naturally warmhearted personality, Akali still couldn't help but feel jealous of Kai'Sa. She could also add extremely worried in the list.
Why?
Of course she'd be worried about Kai'Sa's closeness towards Evelynn. After all, she had fallen for Evelynn through that method. Akali knew that there won't be any chances in completely stopping Evelynn's flirtatious attitude, or at least in the current point they're in, the diva needed to continue acting as if she isn't committed to anyone.
'Wait, are we even committed to each other? As in, officially?' Akali asked herself, eyebrows furrowing as she scratched the back of her head. 'I think we are...?'
Instead of going to Kai'Sa's room to have the talk Ahri had mentioned, Akali decided to retreat in her room and do some thinking first. She did need to burn time before she hops into the shower. Light and quiet steps echoed in her bedroom as she paced around the spacious area, deep in thought.
If Evelynn was as serious as she was with her, then maybe the possibility of Kai'Sa developing feelings for the vocalist would be a long-shot. Chances for such would also become bleaker if the dancer was actually informed about Akali and Evelynn's affair. Unfortunately, that wasn't an option. Not yet, at least.
Oh it would be such a fulfilling thing if Akali could just walk up to Evelynn, wrap an arm around her waist and give her a kiss on the lips without expecting any consequences to strike them out of nowhere.
Three things stopped her from doing that wonderful desire.
One, they seem to have no intention in unveiling their relationship to the public's eye. For now, at least.
Two, Akali would probably be a blushing mess by the time she manages to wrap an arm around Evelynn's waist. In fact, the much experienced woman would probably turn the tables around when it comes to that.
Three, her parents.
Oh God, her parents.
Akali didn't really want to think about that too much. It would only put a damper on her mood. She wanted to savour the moments and create memories with Evelynn without the problem called her parents looming over her like a ghost.
Shifting her thoughts back to Evelynn herself, Akali couldn't help but purse her lips and tried suppressing the smile that threatened to split her face into two. Just by recalling the kisses they've shared, both innocent and heated ones, it was enough to make Akali pump her fists in the air.
In her excitement, she let out a breath before she performed a backflip, sticking the landing like the pro she is. She clapped her hands together and finally let loose a grin that easily occupied her face.
Even when she was in high school, she never felt this type of excitement when it came to a romantic interest. She dated a few boys in and out of school, but not once did she feel these butterflies in her stomach. Not once did she even think about any of them while she performed one of her own 'self-loving' sessions.
Akali stilled before slowly turning to face the direction of the bathroom. One of her hands reached up and stroked her neck, her fingertips tingling once it touched the area Evelynn's tongue had glazed over.
Every ounce of self-control was dissolved into nothing the moment Akali's lust kicked in. Sucking in a breath, the rapper approached and slipped into the bathroom. She didn't care that she should wait for at least a couple of minutes before showering. Her hands hastily relieved her of her sweat-drenched exercise attire. In less than two minutes, her clothes were tossed in the hamper and Akali was finally inside the shower stall.
A squeak emitted from one of the shower's small knobs, while warm water began to rain down on the naked freestyler. Her hair was already out of its usual style and was gradually becoming drenched by the drops falling upon her entire body.
Once she was completely doused with the water, she stepped back until her back made contact with the glass wall of the stall. Her eyes drifted close while she relaxed herself onto the surface supporting her from behind. Some of the water was still hitting her skin, but it wasn't enough to keep her fully wet.
Teeth lightly biting her lip, Akali ran her right hand over her chest before slipping it over her firm stomach and finally between her legs. One of her legs twitched the second her fingers made contact with her slit, which was moistened with more than just water.
Akali couldn't believe she was going to do this again. The only difference was that she's going to do it in the shower instead of on her bed like last time. She would still think about Evelynn, but this time, their recent encounters would serve as one of the stimulating sources for her to acquire pleasure from.
The rapper's index finger ground against her opening in a massively slow pace. She was teasing herself, because if Evelynn was there, then the diva would probably have her beg for mercy with all the teasing she'll do. The though of Evelynn being present with her in the shower and as naked as she was, it was more than just enough for Akali to moan out the gorgeous woman's name.
"Eve..."
Manners aside, Akali was going to do this. She would pleasure herself and she'll find no shame in it, for she desired only to feel what it could be if Evelynn were to ravage her.
Much to her surprise though...
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Akali yelped and jumped away from the glass wall, body whipping around to face the direction of the sequential knocks. Her hands shot to the sides before her palms slammed against the cool wall behind her, its previous task forgotten. Through the frosted glass, she can see another form of a person standing at the other side. The splash of amaranth magenta was enough for Akali to identify who it was.
"E-Eve!?"
From the other side, Evelynn had her arms crossed and was smirking at Akali through the glass. She knew the younger artist would not be able to see her expression, so maybe that's why she didn't hold herself back when her smirk quickly turned into a mischievous grin.
"Darling, are you doing what I think you're doing?"
"W-Wha...-! Eve! What the hell are you doing in here!?"
"Technically, I'm out here." Evelynn retorted playfully.
"You know what I mean!"
"Oh, well, you left the bathroom door open."
"And you thought of that as an invitation!?"
"In my eyes, it was."
"It wasn't!"
"There's no use in arguing with me about this, Rogue."
Akali wanted to peek out and shoot the diva a glare, but she knew she was too embarrassed to come out and show her face to the other female. She stuck to staying in her small haven, feeling that she would probably lose all of her words if she faced Evelynn now.
"T-Then," Akali awkwardly cleared her throat. "what are you doing here?"
"Listen. I merely interrupted your, ahem, activity," Evelynn's words made Akali feel like her whole face was on fire, while her arousal was beginning to fade away thanks to the embarrassment overload she was receiving from the current conversation. "because I didn't want another repeat of the last."
"Repeat?" Akali felt like her brain fluctuated when Evelynn finished telling her the reason of her abrupt intrusion. She was sure her cheeks were going to explode this time. She was absolutely sure of it.
Evelynn softly sighed, while her lips left its grinning form and morphed into a light smile. The expression on her face told how much she knew she was going to have this conversation with Akali sooner or later and that she had accepted the possibility of it being quite uncomfortable and rather embarrassing for the two of them. Mainly Akali, since Evelynn can hold her own quite well in these cases.
"There's no need to feel embarrass...-"
"Wait," Akali cut off, her heart racing in a pace of a thousand beats per second. "are you saying..."
"Akali, let me fini...-"
"No, no, no," Akali intervened for the second time, sounding more and more panicked. "Eve, tell me. When you said you didn't want another repeat, did you mean...?"
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
Four seco...-
"...Yes, darling. I saw you the other night with your hand in your pants."
...
...
...
...
...
There was still no response from Akali and Evelynn was honestly a bit worried for her. Did the freestyler go into shock or something? She wasn't really easy with her confession. Her words were literally as blunt as a sledgehammer, so it wasn't a surprise that Akali seemed to be at a loss for words. All the vocalist could hear was the sound of water crashing on the tiled floor of the stall, and all she could see through the frosted glass was the blurred outline of Akali, who looks like she still had her back pressed against the wall opposite of the glass.
"Rogue?"
"..."
"Akali?"
"..."
"Aka...-"
"What do you think about it?"
Out of everything, Evelynn surely did not expect such question. It was as blunt as the admission she had uttered a moment ago. The question did make her ponder for an answer though. She mentally worked and rummaged through her brain for her thoughts about the raunchy scene she had witnessed.
"Many things." Was the reply she managed to vocalize.
A deep breath reached the diva's ears, which was followed with, "How much did you see?"
Once again, Evelynn contemplated. She was trying her hardest to choose between telling the truth or lying about what she saw. Both had its pros and cons, so it was somewhat difficult for her to just blurt out an immediate response.
"Everything." Her eyes, which had wandered downward, moved back up and returned to focusing at Akali's blurred form. "I saw everything."
Despite wearing light clothing, Evelynn felt like the bathroom was getting too warm for her liking. She pulled a couple of times on the front of her tank top to fan herself. Maybe recalling the naughty memory while being in the same room and having nothing to separate her from a certain fully nude rapper except a glass wall wasn't really the greatest thing to do.
Admittedly, if Evelynn's self-control doesn't exist and if she didn't see Akali the way she saw her past flings, then maybe she'd be in the shower stall with the freestyler and was probably having the latter pant for mercy from her.
"Evelynn...-"
Once she heard her name, the diva was quick to interrupt the words that would follow. She had a theory about what Akali was about to say and she did not want to hear it, for it was unnecessary.
"Rogue, please. I see nothing wrong with it, so save your breath."
"Are you... disgusted?"
'Me? Disgusted?' Evelynn had a bewildered look in her eyes, caught off-guard with Akali's question yet again. With such an appealing display, one that Evelynn deeply desired to be seen only by her and no one else, how could the siren be disgusted?
"I felt many things when I saw you. Watched you, even. I couldn't take my eyes off of you even for a second."
Quiet footsteps were failed to be heard through the shower's rain, but in spite of such, Akali can still see Evelynn approach the glass, left hand reaching forward before it laid its palm over the fragile surface.
Akali didn't know what possessed her or where her bravery came from, but only when she took hold of the pole-like the door handle and pulled the glass door open enough for her to peek out half of her face did she realize that she had courageously made direct eye contact with her unexpected visitor.
Evelynn allowed her left hand to be planted on the glass and serve as her support as she leaned towards the door and reached out to the rapper with her right. Her palm delicately caressed the warm and moistened skin of the younger female's left cheek, who unknowingly leaned into her touch. The diva made sure she was looking deep into Akali's marvelous azures as she continued her confession.
"You were trembling, darling. Breathless and needy. You were asking for me. Whispering my name. Gasping it out as if it was a desperate prayer. Calling for me as if I was your everything."
Each word was turning more like a whispered snarl. The desire behind each syllable was massively evident. It sent rushes of arousal back into Akali's body. With just the act of stroking her cheek and those arousingly uttered words, Akali was having her breath stolen from her again. And she couldn't do anything but allow the seductress before her to harness every ounce of it. Akali's breath audibly hitched in her throat when Evelynn lowered her face and close enough for her breath to give its own caress.
"So no, Akali. I was not disgusted. In fact," Evelynn smirked, eyes piercing through the rapper like a blade. "thanks to you, I had to take a cold shower."
Akali had been underestimating her desire, so it did its best to show her that it existed and that it was not going to allow her shyness to get in the way of its yearning. Her right hand pulled the door open, sense of decency forgotten, while her left shot forward and grabbed Evelynn by her tank top.
Evelynn's eyes momentarily widened in surprise, not expecting to be yanked into the stall and under the shower rain. Due to the momentum caused by the sudden tug, her entire body ended up being held up by Akali, whose hands were now clutching at her tank top with a vice-like grip. The diva's own hands searched for something to hold, the exploring pair ending up fisting most of Akali's drenched hair in a tight grasp.
The once dry magenta tresses were turning a bit darker as the water started to soak it as much as her gym clothes were becoming, but the vocalist could not bring herself to give a damn about it. No, she was too focused in playing with Akali's untrained yet feisty tongue.
A gasp left the older woman at the same time a muffled thud caused by her back's collision against the frosted glass sounded. Evelynn had lost her breath, which gave Akali the perfect chance to assume the dominant position between them.
Evelynn's eyes drifted close as she moaned against Akali's lips, her tongue shockingly surrendering to the much aggressive muscle of the freestyler. Inexperienced Akali may be, Evelynn's unforeseen forfeit was enough for the rapper to quickly begin to pick up on the techniques the vixen had used on her. She might not have done everything with complete precision, but it was surely enough to weaken Evelynn's legs and to make her moan out for more.
"You have to... stop... teasing me... like that..." Akali growled out between immensely brief breaks for air. Evelynn could barely replenish her supply of oxygen, but she didn't care. She loved this wild minx before her.
Evelynn only moaned in reply, not bothering on using words to provide a response. She raised and hooked her right leg around Akali, her calf grinding between the soft buttocks of the brown-haired female. As for Akali, her hands were madly roaming around Evelynn's clothed body. At the back of her mind, the rapper cursed the existence of the fabrics. They were getting in the way and all she wanted to do was tear them to shreds.
Instead of doing such barbaric act, Akali decided to just grope Evelynn's butt, her nails and fingers digging nearly through the thin and fitted shorts. While her right hand squeezed at the diva's derrière, her left dove into Evelynn's hair and clenched countless strands into a fist as tight as the ones gripping and pulling on her own hair.
Their salivas mixed as their tongues continuously danced with one another, or maybe the much more accurate term would be sparring. The taste they were getting from one another was addicting and it was fueling their fill of lust and absolute desire for each other's breathtaking touch.
"D-Darling...!" Evelynn almost sounded like she was pleading when she finally succeeded in reacquiring her self-control and pulling Akali back by the grasp she had on her hair. "Don't be so eager..."
"Eve..." Akali whined, teeth biting her lower lip as she looked back to the siren with a desperate gaze. She wanted to continue and for everything to never end. It was getting more and more glorious, so she couldn't stop now.
"I'm not teasing you this time, Rogue..." Evelynn half-panted out, still not completely recovering her stable pace of breathing. "Not right now, no..."
"Let me kiss you, then." Akali tried resuming their heated make-out, but was stopped by a firm tug at her hair. It probably should have hurt, but it only made her arousal flare even more. "I want to learn. I want to kiss you the way you want me to."
Evelynn breathlessly chuckled, head lightly shaking. "Darling, we have time. Your enthusiasm is admirable, but know that I'm not going anywhere."
"But, Eve..."
"I'll teach you everything I want. Just be patient."
"Why not now?"
"I don't want to rush this." Evelynn carefully lowered her leg back on the floor, her right hand leaving the rapper's hair and trailing down to boldly stroke at the cute and unclad butt. The skin of the curves was admittedly nice against her palms. "I want to savour all of this. I want to learn with you."
"Eve..."
"Believe me when I say I've never wanted someone as strongly as I thirst for you."
Akali swallowed, lips trembling as she let those amber crystals take her in its enchanting captivity. She compose find any vocal responses. The need in Evelynn's eyes rendered her voiceless.
"Soon, darling. Soon. For now though, I suppose we should end this here."
Evelynn engulfed the other woman in an amorous embrace, lips lightly biting and pulling at Akali's earlobe. She half-smirked as she nibbled at the vulnerable piece of flesh, eyes closing as she whispered in a heart-stopping manner.
"Enjoy your shower."
As if she was awakened from such an incredible daydream, Akali was left to lean back to the tiled wall while she watched Evelynn pull the stall door open and wink goodbye at her before stepping out of sight. Akali brushed her hair out of her face as she waited until she heard the consecutive slams of two different doors, one bathroom and one bedroom.
Once Akali was wholly sure Evelynn was gone, she released a shaky breath as she slid down onto the tiled floor and dazedly looked at the door of the shower stall. A minute or two passed before she groaned loudly and shook her head.
Change of plans, she was going to take the coldest shower she has ever taken in her entire life. While Akali worked on dousing the flame of lust with frigid waters, Evelynn was left to deal with her own problems.
Evelynn swept all of her hair back, shaking her head as she stopped twisting the handle of her bedroom door. She surveyed her current state, realizing how ridiculous she presently looked. Her clothes weren't completely wet since she was only underneath the shower for a short moment, but that didn't mean she looked totally normal. Her appearance made her seem like she ran the longest marathon that had ever been held in Earth.
"Eve?"
Snapping her head towards the direction of the person that called her name, she found Kai'Sa inspecting her with a raised eyebrows and a surprised gleam in those amethyst irises. When the dancer prepared herself to do her morning exercise, she honestly didn't expect to find Evelynn in the state she's in right now.
"Good morning, Bokkie." Evelynn greeted in a casual manner. It's as if there was nothing out of the ordinary, which made Kai'Sa shortly think if she was seeing things or not.
"Are you alright?" Kai'Sa asked, glancing between Evelynn's hair and shirt. "Are all those sweat?"
"Ah, well, yes, they are." Evelynn cleared her throat as she smoothly presented a little sheepish smile. "This is the reason why I always time my workouts. I have a tendency to exercise until this happens."
"Oh, wow... That's... That's actually pretty awesome. And you're not tired? At all?"
"Not that much, I suppose."
Kai'Sa was about to nod when she suddenly perked up and said, "By the way, Eve, I have a date tomorrow and I was hoping you could help me pick out some clothes later."
"Would you like us to go shopping, then?"
"Ooh! Yeah! That'd be great!" Kai'Sa then laughed sheepishly as she said, "I would have asked Ahri, but she already volunteered to see our manager on our behalf later."
"We can leave after lunch, then."
"Perfect!"
Kai'Sa smiled and pointed to the direction of the gym room, excusing herself from Evelynn once they finally came to an agreement for their plans today. When the violet-haired artist was gone, Evelynn quickly opened the door and entered her quarters. She may have fooled Kai'Sa, but she's confident that Ahri would see through her lie even before she verbalizes her thoughts. After all, she did leave the gym room looking perfectly pristine and 'sweat-less'.
Hopefully, Kai'Sa doesn't bring up her appearance and her so called 'tendency'. Ahri would surely barge into her room and question the shit out of her.
Originally, Evelynn wanted to catch up to Akali when said female had left the gym room. She wanted to talk about not only Akali's punishment for 'throwing' her on the floor, but to also discuss their discretion towards their affair. And yes, Evelynn knew she's the one to blame for them nearly getting caught earlier since she was the one who straddled Akali first.
Of course plans don't always go the way people intend for it to go. When Evelynn heard Akali about to start another solo session, it took all of her strength to force herself in knocking at the glass. Her vixen side initially wanted her to just join Akali in the shower, but her somewhat rational side won this time. It was shocking that it did.
In some way, Evelynn did join Akali in the shower, just not intentionally. She was genuinely surprised that the rapper had pulled her in, but the turnout was certainly something she didn't mind in the very slightest. On the contrary, she wordlessly adored the unpredicted development.
Thoughts like these are exactly why Evelynn was beginning to question herself. She's been thinking about how Akali might slip up with their secret, but here she was, putting her and Akali on the spot when it came to Ahri walking in and Kai'Sa spotting her at the hallway.
Where did all her natural stealth go?
xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx
Today, the whole K/DA was out and about, enjoying the warm and sunny day and leaving the comfort of their penthouse. While Ahri went to speak and have mid-afternoon coffee with their manager, Akali was left to tag along with Evelynn and Kai'Sa at the mall. The latter didn't seem to mind. For the dancer, she was actually grateful that she'll have more than just one helper in picking out clothes suitable for her date with Sivir.
Akali had asked why she didn't just use one of her many sets of clothes at the house, and Kai'Sa hadn't even completely processed the question when Evelynn tutted and shook her head at the idea. The diva made it clear that if Kai'Sa wanted to impress Sivir, then she should actually look dressed to do so. Apparently, 'old clothes' aren't capable of doing such thing in Evelynn's opinion.
Walking through the mall without being noticed wasn't really easy, especially if one was a celebrity. Fortunately, their disguises seem to work quite well. Kai'Sa and Evelynn had their hair differently handled, either it was covered with a hat or done in an alternative style.
Kai'Sa had most of her hair in a low messy bun, which was concealed by a black cap. She only had a simple white shirt, a black and violet varsity jacket, ripped jeans and a pair of violet and white sneakers. She looked absolutely casual and didn't stand out too much, despite her hair color. Even with money at her disposal, Kai'Sa preferred to stick to her usual choice of clothing.
Unlike the dancer, Evelynn looked more fashionable rather than casual. Donning a black sleeveless halter top tucked in a fitted denim skirt and a pair of black ankle boots adorned with heels as tall as two inches, everything about the oldest member of K/DA was eye-capturing. It wasn't surprising the diva refused to lower her usual level of fashion for a little shopping trip.
Lastly, due to her wild hair, Akali was left to settle with tying it in its usual ponytail. Instead of wearing any types of headwear, she chose to use the light brown aviator shades Evelynn lent her. She wore a white tank top underneath the black and green plaid shirt, which she left completely unbuttoned, tight jeans and a pair of black and green running shoes.
Since it would be too obvious and rather difficult to stare at something lower than the waist, Akali was left to steal glances at lovely face of Evelynn, who actually has her hair done in a style she had yet to see the diva in. All of Evelynn's hair was in a high ponytail, her bangs being the only ones free from the hair tie's hold.
The rapper couldn't seem to prevent herself from looking either at the occasional smiles that would appear on the siren's lips or the magnificent neck that tempted her so very much. She wanted to do the same thing Evelynn had done to her earlier morning. Unspeakable things were what she yearned to do.
A part of her was thankful that Kai'Sa had most of Evelynn's attention, mainly because the former was worried she might not find the perfect outfit for her date tomorrow. It saved her from being teased by Evelynn again. She won't be able to react much since a public display of affection between then would only give away their secret.
The other part of hers was jealous though. As in, massively jealous. Again. It wanted her to call for Evelynn's attention and to tell the goddess-like vocalist to keep her focus on her and her only. Although, she did hold herself well with this one. Every time she thought about Kai'Sa going out on a date with someone else and the naughty things she and Evelynn had done, it was enough to ease Akali's worries and jealousy.
Speaking of naughty things, Akali needed to learn. Fast. If she were to let Evelynn take the lead like they both and most would expect, then she'll forever be the bottom in their relationship. Not that she minded, but the idea of flipping the situation and having Evelynn eating from her palm was more than just a little exciting.
If she planned on succeeding with that, then she needed to do some research. And by research, she means...
"Hey," Akali started, halting her two companions when she spoke up and nodded towards a particular store at her right. "I'm just going to check something out. I'll catch up with you two later."
"Shoot us a text once you're done." Kai'Sa said, lightly waving her phone.
"Stay away from the adult section, darling." Evelynn lightly warned, that teasing smile of hers making an appearance.
Kai'Sa chuckled as she watched Akali blush at Evelynn's comment. "Oh come on, Eve. I'm sure that's exactly what Akali wanted to check out."
Akali shot the dancer a halfhearted look. "Don't start with me, Bokkie."
A few snickering and teasing later, Akali was finally free to check out the comic store she had set her eyes on. It only took a few minutes of browsing for her to find a bunch of Japanese comics under the tags of 'Yuri' and 'Shoujo Ai'. Unlike the ones back home, the mangas she found were translated in English already. She honestly didn't mind.
What mattered is that she gets her research done.
For a while, she perused through the Shoujo Ai mangas, taking at least three out of the ones that made her curious about the stories within. Thankfully, there wasn't much people inside the store, probably just an estimate of three to five customers. When she was satisfied with her three initial choices, she moved on to the other category similar to the first one she looked through.
The color in her cheeks returned when she picked up one comic and opened it at a random page, which ended up displaying two girls in a highly compromising position. She slammed it close as soon as she processed the image inside her head. Taking a deep breath, Akali collected her thoughts for a moment before opening it again. This time, she started at the first page.
Five to ten pages later, she ended up adding the comic to the small stack of books she laid near her feet and along with it came the second issue of it. She might not know if it would really be a good read, but she didn't really want to go back to buy the continuation of it if ever she finished the first one sooner than she expects.
The comic was about a doctor, that seemed to be very active with her, ahem, bedroom activities, that ended up falling in love with one of the patients in the hospital. Based from the comic's contents, it would probably cater to what Akali sought for. That, and she liked the title. The word 'Pulse' sounded rather interesting already, especially with the word itself being the book's title.
Seemingly satisfied with her choices, she decided to settle with the books she had picked out for now. She retrieved the stack from the floor before going up to the cashier, placing the pile on the counter top before reaching inside her jeans for her wallet.
The woman behind the cash register eyed her with slightly narrowed eyes, signaling her that the person was trying to decipher who she was. Akali instantly looked away and casually scuffed the tip of one of her shoes against the polished floor of the store. She certainly can't afford to be recognized now.
"Hey, you look like that girl from the famous pop group..." The woman started as she scanned the second to the last comic she was buying. "What's her name again?"
Akali laughed quietly and scratched the back of her neck. "Sorry, but uhh, hehehe... I don't really know them."
Thankfully, the scanning process finished quickly, so she paid the total price of her items before she took the paper bag by its twine handles and hurriedly left the store. Once she got more than a dozen of steps away, she released a sigh of relief and adjusted the sunglasses on her face. She didn't really need the media to know about what she buys and what she doesn't.
The fire she started in social media with her lunch date with Evelynn was already enough, so she didn't need any more. Thinking about social media did make her curious about what happened to her accounts.
Akali had logged them all out from her phone, so she wouldn't be bugged by the notifications or be seen online by her fans. While walking, she pulled out her phone and swiftly sent a message to Kai'Sa asking where they are before she opened and checked her Instagram account.
It was somewhat unsurprising that her post about hers and Evelynn's lunch out was still garnering a few likes here and there, which added to the thirty-two thousand other people that liked it already.
With just a few scrolls and taps, Akali found five short videos Evelynn had consecutively uploaded a few days ago. She watched each and every one of them, mostly laughing to herself at the first four which involved Evelynn using pick-up lines towards Ahri and Kai'Sa. If Akali was asked, her favorite part was when the diva called their leader 'trash'. Ahri's face was just comical and absolutely priceless.
Akali's smile disappeared, while her cheeks brightly reddened, especially when she finally got to the last video. Instead of giving Evelynn a kiss, it was the latter that gave her a kiss. In contrast with how Ahri and Kai'Sa responded back after each line, Evelynn's affectionate gesture seemed to have attracted more views than the previous four videos.
Akalynn_is_Canon: This is it! This is the proof! Their together! AAAAAHHGHHHG!
F0UND3R_0F_KD4: akali blushed awww! she look so cute~
EveStepOnMe: I wish I was Akali O.o
Im_A_Slave_4_Eve: EveStepOnMe Me toooo! T_T
RamyunLover: hhnnnggghhhh i wanna kiss akali !
EvelynnsBoyToy: I would srsly do anyting 2 bang Eve
A peeved expression twisted Akali's facial features once she read one of most recent comments, specifically the one that claimed that he would do anything to bed K/DA's feisty diva. The app was closed and the phone was deposited back in her pocket once she read Kai'Sa's response. Keeping her head low, Akali started heading towards the location where her two bandmates can be found shopping.
Each step she took didn't change the vexed look on her face, the comment of one particular fan still bothering her. She knew that Evelynn would highly unlikely do two things: sleep with a fan and cheat on her. Based from how they interacted with one another, Evelynn seemed to be serious with her and the same can be said on her part.
But the thought of dozens of people wanting the beautiful siren for themselves, well, it was poking at Akali's insecurity. Yeah, she's considered fierce and probably a lot of people's dream girl, but is she Evelynn's ideal partner?
Akali sure hoped she is.
She nodded her head as a return greeting to the security guard she passed when she entered the clothing store she had in mind. It didn't take long for her to find Evelynn through the wide shop. Who else would have magenta hair anyway?
The amber-eyed beauty was seated at one of the cushioned benches, legs crossed and eyes seemingly focused at the thick curtain covering the dressing stall in front of her. Akali approached and swiftly settled herself on the vacant space at Evelynn's right, making sure she placed her purchases as far from the diva as she could. Almost automatically, Evelynn turned to greet her and offer that naturally alluring smile of hers.
"Hello there, darling."
"Hey." Akali smiled back, not at all feeling flustered like the usual. She supposed that since she had been quite intimate with Evelynn lately, she wasn't as affected with the other's presence like she once was. But of course that didn't mean Evelynn's allure failed to captivate her.
Evelynn scooted closer to her, dispelling the tiny space between them. She kept her eyes stuck on the closed stall, which is where Kai'Sa can be found trying on some clothes, as she started talking to the rapper beside her.
"So, did you buy anything interesting?"
"Oh, well, nothing much. Just a bunch of comics." Akali succeeded in appearing nonchalant, shrugging. She lifted one of her fingers, specifically the one donning her family ring, and pointed at the stall they were staring at. "Is Bokkie in there?"
"Mm-hm." Evelynn hummed, eyes trailing away from the curtains and falling onto the circular accessory the freestyler was wearing. "I see you're wearing your family ring again."
Akali directed her gaze to mentioned item, a smile instantly taking over her lips. "Well yeah, it's one of my favorite things in the world."
"Make sure you don't lose it this time, alright? I don't think I have any more spare claws to trade for it again." Evelynn said, chuckling to herself as she lightly shook her head. She loved her claws, but she... ahem, likes Akali more. Blinking, Evelynn can't seem to figure out why her train of thought had fluctuated for a second there.
Too taken aback with the brief interruption of her thoughts, Evelynn was not able to realize what she had just said, or the fact that Akali had snapped her head up and was now staring at her with wide eyes. It looks like Evelynn had forgotten that Akali didn't know the whole story behind the disappearance of her beloved claws and the retrieval of the precious dragon ring.
"Trade? Again?" Akali's eyes were wide, while all the pieces and dots in her brain clicked and connected themselves. "Wait..."
Evelynn, who finally returned to reality, swiftly turned her head to face Akali, her amber gaze meeting the azure orbs of the rapper. She didn't know what to say, so she was a bit thankful that Akali was still unfinished with her words.
"Your claws... Did you give them up in exchange for this?" Akali finished her question by raising the hand that had the ring on, further emphasizing her point.
Like always, Evelynn seemed to have recovered smoothly. She halfheartedly rolled her eyes and shook her head once, waving a dismissive hand in return. "My claws don't have as much sentimental value as your ring does."
"I thought you lost your claws because you threw them away to save me from falling off the stage." Akali said with disbelief, frowning. "Why didn't you tell me you traded it for my ring?"
"Rogue, it's not like you could have done anything about it. My claws are long gone."
"I probably could have done something."
"Oh hush." Evelynn shushed, waving a hand again. "It's in the past, darling."
"But you loved your claws as much as you love your cars." Akali murmured, shoulders hunching as she looked at the diva with a deeply apologetic and guilty look.
Completely forgetting they were in public, Evelynn touched some of the hair in front of Akali's face before tucking them behind her left ear. The rapper was still looking forlorn, while the older female gazed at her with a gleam in those eyes that looked so delicate and tender. Akali's melancholic expression gradually morphed into a combination of surprise and recognition. Was Evelynn going to say it?
"Akali," She said her name differently. In fact, she whispered it. It was warmer. More loving. Absolutely amorous. "I did love them. That's certainly true."
Akali's breath hitched when Evelynn abandoned her hair and caressed her cheek, her heart once again beating wildly and out of her control, threatening to beat until it could beat no more.
"But I never loved them the same way," Evelynn's hand moved to hold Akali by her jaw, especially since the rapper had leaned in thanks to her enthralling touch. "I find myself loving y...-"
Swoosh!
"So!"
It felt like gallons of freezing water was splashed at the pair the second Kai'Sa pulled the curtains aside and stepped out of the dressing stall, eyes and hands still focused on the outfit she was trying on.
Evelynn cleared her throat and straightened her posture, while Akali nearly fell off the bench when she jumped back and put as much space between her and the older artist. Kai'Sa hadn't seen them leaning towards one another since her attention was still glued on her current attire, but she did unknowingly prevented them from engaging into a passionate kiss the two women surely would not have held themselves back.
"What do you think?" Kai'Sa lifted her gaze and struck a pose, her smile widening when she spotted Akali. "Oh! You're finally here! Just in time!"
Akali laughed a bit nervously, one hand scratching the back of her head as she quickly pieced together a reply in her head. "Y-Yeah, just in time."
"Did you run here or something? You look totally red right now." Kai'Sa pointed out, laughing a little. "Or was Eve teasing you again?"
"Bokkie, that looks good on you," Evelynn abruptly intervened, eyes expertly regarding the set of clothes the dancer was wearing. "but I like the first one better."
Kai'Sa, who was actually wearing the second outfit she tried on and and was still totally clueless about what she had interrupted, perked up and nodded, vastly considering the diva's opinion. She half-sheepishly laughed as she twirled around once. "I guess you have a point. I'm not one for skirts anyway."
"Feel free to try the third one." Evelynn coolly suggested, uncrossing her legs as she leaned back and propped a hand on the newly available space on the bench. "We have time to burn."
"Looks really good on you, Kai." Akali murmured, wanting to contribute to the conversation to avoid any possible suspicions.
"Awww, thanks!" Kai'Sa spun around and stepped back inside the stall, swinging the curtain close. "I'll try on the other one!"
"Eagerly waiting, darling." Evelynn called out with a small smile before said curve faltered slightly after, especially when she turned and looked back to the seatmate that was startled away from her a couple of moments ago.
Akali was scraping the heel of one of her shoes against the floor, eyes evading the capture of Evelynn's. "Umm... Eve, were you going to say...-"
"It's nothing, Rogue." Evelynn hastily tried ending what Akali was attempting to bring up. "Forget about it."
"But..." Akali's frown returned, this one being much deeper than the one before. "...it's not nothing to me."
"...Precisely."
Confusion painted her face as she stared at the other woman, waiting for the latter to explain what she meant with that one-word response.
"I want it to be sincere. Genuine. Not rushed and empty." Evelynn continued, thankfully not leaving Akali's questions unanswered. "I don't want to say those words to you just for the sake of saying it. Like you said, it's not nothing to you. When I do say it... and I will, then I want my words to have as much meaning as how important this is to you."
With that said, Evelynn returned her gaze back to the stall in front of them, maintaining a neutral expression on her face. While the siren looks to be calmly taking in the brief conversation she had involved herself in, the freestyler with her was a wholly different story.
Akali was just staring at Evelynn, her heart performing backflips inside of her. She may not have heard the words she was originally seeking, but what Evelynn had said felt like the warmest embrace her heart has ever felt. Her cheeks burned and her lips happily curved. Next thing she knew, she was grinning to herself.
"What are you smiling for?" Evelynn inquired after a long moment filled with nothing but Akali turning her head away and not parting from her grin. The magenta-haired woman quirked an eyebrow at the younger singer, honestly curious why the rapper looked like she had won an award. Akali fixed her eyes back to Evelynn, her grin probably widening if it were possible.
"You."
With just that reply, it was suddenly Evelynn's turn to blush, turn away and have her heart skip a beat.

Author's Note: Whew! 11000+ words for one chapter? Wow, readers, I really am spoiling all of you! XD
Well, it's already December 22 from where I live, so consider this as an early Christmas present for the Akalynn shippers out there! An early Merry Christmas greeting to all of you! I hope you are all happy and content with this gift of mine. ^u^
I really hope you readers liked how Akali pulled Evelynn in the shower and tried having her way with her. ;)
Like what I mentioned in my previous author's note, expect sneak peeks of future chapters in my Tumblr account. All of you are also free to ask me questions there if ever you're curious about something. Either it's about my stories or me in general, feel free to ask~ :D
By the way, just a heads up, unlike Akali's original champion skin, Akali in this story won't be having a dragon tattoo. I discussed it with my friend and as we all know, Akali already has a dragon ring and that her jacket already has a dragon imprinted on the back. A dragon tattoo would probably be a 'dragon overload'. Unless you readers think otherwise? I would want to hear your opinions as well, of course.
I want Akali's skin to be as bare as possible because of my plans of Evelynn having something in store for our beloved rapper. ;)

To Vinxter, I had your review translated, just like the one left by one of my readers! English or not, I'll do my best to understand your reviews! Thank you for the compliment about my writing! And don't worry! This story still has a long way to go! :D
To TiberiumSnow, I actually have seen Ashe's origin comic, but I have yet to read it. ^^" Although because of its release, "Bound To You" will be put on hold, since that story will be delving into Ashe's past and how she and Katarina will handle their future problems. :3 And nice to know you like my Frozen Lotus stories! :D Any reader that ships Katarina x Ashe is definitely a friend in my book! ^u^
To Shinobukun, I sure hope I do justice with the Ahri x Sona pairing, since a lot of people actually ship them. ^^ And your 'rambling' is actually nice to read. Feel free to 'ramble' on as you go. XD There will be more heart to heart moments between Akali and Evelynn, so ready your heart for some mushy overload! XD
Anyway! Till my next update, everyone! An early Merry Christmas to ll of you~!
