Here's the next chapter.
I apologize for not updating in a while, I've been getting sidetracked by LoL marathons with this group of people, so I haven't had time to write.
I finally got some free time and finished the chapter, so here it is. As always, do review and stuff, since I don't really have the fire and will to write this as quickly as I did since no one has reviewed in a while, and it doesn't feel like anyone's interested.
Other than that, here it is!
"Good morning." Teemo said to me in the morning. I opened my eyes, seeing the purple walls and ceiling of my bedroom. Teemo had his arms wrapped around me, his leg on top of mine. He felt so comfortable. I sat up and looked around the room, seeing the few shuriken and kunai that were on my wall, along with my ninja garb that was hanging on my purple door.
"Good morning." I said back, looking over to Teemo who was smiling. We had let go of each other and were looking around, thinking of what to do.
"So how are we going to eat here?" Teemo curiously asked me. I laughed and thought about it a bit.
"Well, it's possible that Akali may have cooked breakfast for me today, it's my first day back and all. And yes, Akali is an amazing cook, you'd be surprised, it's something that not many people know." I told Teemo, who couldn't help but let out a big laugh.
"That's hilarious considering that they have to keep this serious façade all the time." Teemo said to me, still chuckling at the whole statement.
"Tell me about it. People see me as the less serious of the Kinkou, and it's obvious that I am. I actually enjoy having a good time, and spending free time away from Ionia, unlike Akali and Shen." I told Teemo who just nodded back.
"And don't you kind of feel different because of that? Like, that you're so different from them two." Teemo asked me. I shrugged and smiled.
"Kind of. It's just my nature, I mean I'm a fun loving yordle." I said in a cocky tone as I rubbed my bare chest fur.
"That makes sense. Can we go eat now, I've been awake for a while, and the only thing that's kept me attentive and alive is studying every corner of your bedroom." Teemo said back, I smiled and nodded back and got up from my bed.
"Sure, let's go eat then, Akali should've made breakfast, she usually does." I said back as I began to dress myself. Teemo followed my lead and got up from the bed to dress himself. Once we were both dressed we left my bedroom and went out into the dark purple hallway. The hallway in which my room is has lots of other doors, most of which I don't even know lead to. We went into the main purple hall and turned into the diningroom/kitchen. It's a simple purple room, with a table and a kitchen with counters. It always felt like an out-of-place room, since it was more modern than the rest of the whole building, but that's just because a kitchen was a necessity for Akali. When we got into the room, we saw Akali, who was cooking at the stove. In her ninja clothes, of course. They never got out of them…
"Hey guys." Akali casually said from the stove. It was a rare thing for her to be casual, but since Shen wasn't around, she didn't really need to be formal. Shen has always been the formal one of us three, and always enforced his formal rules onto us. It's something that I've gotten used to, and something that would stick with me for my life.
"Hey, how have you been since I left?" I asked Akali as I sat down on the table, Teemo did the same, with hesitation of course.
"Great, just been doing some duties here and there, I'm getting ready to go on an important mission sort of thing today." Akali said from the stove. I could hear something crackle at the stove as she cooked.
"That's nice. Oh! Akali, I wanted to introduce you to Teemo, I know that you've never formally met him." I said to Akali, who turned around at the stove.
"Nice to meet you." Akali said, sticking out her hand to Teemo. He awkwardly took it in his and shook it.
"Nice to meet you, too. Kennen has been dying to bring me here." Teemo explained awkwardly, chuckling a bit.
"Same here. You know that whole 'connection' thing we have." Akali said back, chuckling a bit.
"Yep." I added.
"Breakfast is almost ready, I didn't have anything else to do." Akali explained, we nodded back and smiled.
"Thanks Akali, you're a saint." I said to Akali who blushed and saved my comment away.
"You're too kind." Akali said back as she turned back to the stove.
"Is Shen joining us?" Teemo asked. I shrugged and Akali spoke up from the stove.
"I doubt it, I couldn't find him anywhere." Akali said back.
"That sucks, I really wanted to meet him. Oh well." Teemo said back as he cautiously watched Akali cook.
"He's not very…open, I guess you could say. If anything, he's an emotionless shell." Akali explained, I nodded and Teemo awkwardly sat as he listened.
"It's his job, he's meant to not show emotion, but it really gets unnerving at times." I said to Teemo who could only nod.
"Yeah, whatever, that's what it is," Akali said as she plated the breakfast. She turned around and placed the plates on the purple table. "Here you guys go, enjoy it, it'll be the first of many." Akali said happily as she placed the two plates.
"You're not going to eat with us?" I asked Akali as I looked down at the two plates of food, it was eggs with bacon and some toast.
"I already ate, and I have to some things to take care of before my mission. And Shen's acting strange, I should go check on him. He's an issue because you can't really tell what he's thinking because of his emotionless state, but we'll see." Akali said as she began to leave the room.
"Good luck!" I shouted as she left the room. I looked back to Teemo who was already eating his breakfast.
"Well, this is actually extremely good." Teemo said to me. I nodded and smiled back to him as I took a bit out of my toast.
"Even the toast tastes better than is should, almost like the toaster gives it better flavor or something." Teemo said, along with a laugh.
"It's the magic of Akali." I said back.
"So, what are we going to do today?" Teemo asked me as he took a bite out of the bacon.
"I wanted to take you down to Ionia today, show you around and stuff." I said back to him. He couldn't help but smile.
"Yeah, sure. This is my first time to Ionia, actually. How sad is that?" Teemo asked with some calm in his tone.
"Somewhat sad, Ionia is beautiful. I'm glad I brought the experience of Ionia to you." I said to Teemo. I reached my hand over the table and took his left hand in my right. We looked over at each other, staring into each other's eyes. It was almost like our eyes were doing the talking.
"Kennen?" A voice asked as it's owner entered the room. It was Akali.
"Yes?" I asked back as I looked behind me to see Akali as she entered the room. My hand was still in Teemo's.
"Shen needs you for something, do you mind coming?" Akali asked me, I shrugged and nodded.
"Sure, I'm done with breakfast." I said to Akali before turning around to Teemo. Mind waiting for me here while I go, even though you're done with breakfast?" I asked him, he nodded.
"Sure, I can wait." He said, getting up to take my plate and his to the sink. I smiled and got up, following Akali to wherever Shen was.
"So what does Shen want?" I asked Akali as we turned into the main hall.
"He just wants to talk to you for some reason, although I'm not sure if you should bring up Teemo to him, he may not know." Akali boldly said, I nodded even though Akali wasn't facing me.
"Alright, I guess I'll take your word for it." I said to Akali. We approached a door and stopped right in front of it.
"What Shen is doing may shock you, so prepare yourself." Akali said to me, holding back a giggle. I nodded with a confused look on my face. She opened the door and revealed a small purple room with a small table with a tea set on top. Shen was on the right of the bed, and to his left was Lulu, who was happily sipping from her teacup. I almost choked at the sight…Lulu wasn't kidding!
"Hi Kennen!" Lulu said happily from the table as she waved, Shen put down his teacup and pushed his chair back to stand up.
"Kennen, Akali." Was the only thing Shen said. I managed to get a small wave to Lulu before Shen got us back in the hall and closed the door.
"Shen." Said Akali, acknowledging him.
"Kennen, I brought you here to tell you that Lulu will be around the building if you ever need her. I do apologize if I got you scared or something, I didn't call you here for any missions or anything." Shen said in a calm tone. I let out a big breath.
"Thank you." I stifled out, Shen nodded and turned back to the door, entering and closing the door behind him.
"That wasn't awkward at all." Akali said quietly. I giggled.
"Lulu told me that Shen and her were best friends, but I didn't believe it. I guess it's true, it doesn't seem to fit, though." I said to Akali who nodded.
"It's funny, that's for sure. Now, you should go back to Teemo, he's probably waiting." Akali said to me. I nodded and made my way back to the diningroom. I entered the room and saw that Teemo was nowhere to be found.
"Teemo?" I shouted into the room, my voice echoing a bit off the purple walls. I looked around the room, he wasn't anywhere in here. "Teemo?" I shouted again, I didn't hear anything. I looked over to the counter. There was a cake next to the sink, a Triple Chocolate Suicide cake made by Akali. It's her signature cake. It was on a silver dome, and it seemed that someone had taken a bit out of the cake. I approached the cake and stepped on something. I looked down…it was Teemo. He was passed out. "Teemo!" I shouted as I got down on my knees. I shook his body, trying to wake him from whatever happened. He didn't seem to budge. Panic started to settle in, and my heartbeat began to speed up. There was only one person who I could have help me right now. "Akali!" I shouted at the top of my lungs, tears began to form at the side of my eyes. "Akali!" I shouted again, looking down to Teemo as I shook him. He was on his side and lifeless.
"What?" Akali shouted into the diningroom as she entered. She gasped when she saw the cake out of it's dome. She quickly ran to it, studying the cake. "He didn't taste it, did he?" She asked, I nodded to her and looked back at Teemo's limp body.
"What did you put in it?" I asked her, worried for Teemo.
"It was poisoned. My mission was to poison someone who I couldn't get close enough to assassinate." She said with fear in her voice as she looked down to Teemo.
"He's going to die, isn't he!" I shouted. I had an urge to lash out at Akali, but I held it back. Violence against your peers is never an answer.
"Don't worry, I'll give him an antidote that'll stop the poison from attacking his system, it takes a while, and you found him early enough for it not to start." Akali said in a calmed tone.
"What are you waiting for! Go get it now, before it starts!" I shouted, tears were running down my face and I was uncontrollably shaking. She nodded and quickly left the room. I turned my gaze down to Teemo's body. I placed my hand on his cheek and slowly stroked it. "It's going to be okay, I'm here for you," I whispered as if he could hear me. I stayed there, trying to comfort the unconscious body of Teemo until Akali ran back into the room with a vile of clear stuff in her hand.
"Tilt his head back. This should stop the poison, but he'll still need a while to recover." She said to me. I obeyed and tilted his head back as Akali kneeled beside Teemo. She opened the vial and neared it to his mouth. He put it to his lip and tiled the vial's contents into his mouth, letting it slip down his esophagus.
"You sure this'll fix everything?" I asked Akali with worry in my voice.
"Yes, he'll just need to time to recover to get the poison out his body. He'll be bed ridden for a few days, but nothing too bad." Akali said to me.
"Alright. How long until he wakes up?" I asked Akali. She quickly answered back.
"A few hours. Let's get him to your room." She said to me. I nodded and Akali lifted him up, fireman style.
"Oh thanks, you take my lover in your arms, whatever." I said to Akali, chuckling a bit as I wiped the leftover tears from my eyes.
"You won't be able to lift him, besides, he's light." Akali said back as she began to walk out of the diningroom. I followed behind her, watching Teemo's quietly breath in and out as he was draped over Akali's shoulder
"Alright, I'll take your word for it." I said to Akali as we turned into the hall that had my room in it. We went into my room, where Akali placed Teemo on my bed.
"Do you want me to leave?" She asked me. I shook my head.
"It's up to you, I'll be watching Teemo for when he wakes up." I said to Akali who nodded and left the room.
"I'm really sorry for being really careless with the cake, I forgot that we had someone here who didn't know about stuff like that." Akali apologized to me. I brought up a stool next to the bed and sat on it.
"It's fine, as long as Teemo gets through this without any issues." I said back to Akali who nodded.
"I'll make sure, don't worry." She said to me before leaving the room. I turned back to Teemo who was happily sleeping at the bed. He looked so peaceful and happy, despite the reason why he was put in this situation.
"I love you." I quietly said before reaching over the stool to plant a kiss on Teemo's forehead. I pulled back the covers and scooted into bed next to Teemo. I had forgotten to ask Akali if anything from Teemo's sickness or what's left of it is contagious, but I could care less. I wanted to be with my love and nothing could stop me. I put my arms around Teemo's waist and slipped them under his shirt so I could feel his fur. I put my right leg on top of his and seemed to almost instantly fall asleep.
"Kennen…" A weak voice said to me. It was barely audible, but it somehow woke me up. I opened my eyes and saw that my arms were still around Teemo. I let go of him and sat up.
"Yes?" I asked him, he sat up and looked over to me. He looked tired and weak.
"What…what happened?" He asked me, his voice was feeble and weak.
"You ate some poisoned cake." I said to him. He nodded and looked around the room.
"Oh, that cake was poisoned?." He said back to me, his voice sounded raspy all the sudden.
"The frosting was poisoned too. Akali gave you the antidote so the cake doesn't upright kill you." I said to him. I holding back tears…I didn't want to cry, not now.
"So I'm fine?" He asked me. I nodded and smiled.
"And I'm happy that you are. I was worried, I-I don't know what I would do." I said to him, almost wanting to cry. He scooted closer to me and leaned his head in, planting a kiss on my muzzle.
"I'm glad I'm okay. I love you Kennen, I really do…but now I feel too weak and tired to show you. This poison really took the life out of me." He quietly said.
"Get all the rest you need, I'll be here waiting for you. You're worth waiting for and I will always wait." I said to him as I leaned over and planted a kiss on his forehead.
"Thanks Kennen, you're a saint, you know that." He quietly said to me. I lowered my head and looked into his eyes.
"So are you. Now rest, you'll really need it. Don't forget that I will be waiting for you until you get better, and that I love you with all my heart, okay?" I said to him. He nodded and gave me a small smile.
"I love you too. Goodnight, or whatever time it is." He said to me, letting out a small chuckle before he lay himself down on the bed again, along with pulling the blankets over himself.
"Want me to get that clothes off of you so you can sleep more comfortably?" I asked him as he turned around.
"That would be nice, thanks." He said to me. I got up and went around the bed to Teemo's side. I pulled back the blankets and looked at his clothed body. Teemo sat up to make it easier for me, his eyes heavily bagged. I grabbed the hem of the shirt and pulled up over Teemo's head as quickly as I could. I switched down to his jeans which I unbuttoned and quickly took off, leaving him in some adorable purple underwear.
"There, get a good rest, alright? I want you to get better as quick as you can, alright?" I said to him as he lay himself down on the bed while pulling the blanket over him.
"Alright. Goodnight Kennen." He said to me before going quiet. I nodded and took of my clothes in a jiffy, going over to my side of the bed. I crawled in and curled myself up to Teemo's body, letting him get his rest.
"Goodnight." Was the last thing I said before closing my deep blue eyes. I had never felt so peaceful, which is weird considering the circumstances.
Teemo's sickness really brought out the love in us.
