ACT 21

The usual quiet atmosphere of penthouse of K/DA was absent and was replaced with a much livelier one thanks to the guests Ahri offered in hosting for dinner tonight. The evening meal had just finished and Akali and Evelynn volunteered to clean up the table, while Kai'Sa and Ahri led their visitors to the living room.

Ahri's high school friends, which were Sona, Sarah and Riven, accepted the K/DA leader's invitation for the evening to also spend more time on catching up with one another. Mainly with their retired military friend, which was coincidentally the same girl Irelia was getting all flustered about. Times like this were the reason why Akali did believe in the world being smaller than most would think.

When the day finally came to an end and their guests left, Akali knew it was time for the collection of her reward. One that she acquired through the deal she had bravely made with the she-devil herself. She may have played the last game a bit unfairly, especially with what she did just to distract Evelynn, but it did grant her the win.

Although, it also gave her a certain punishment that had yet to be told what exactly it was.

Was it really unfair that, despite her being the victor, she'll be facing some sort of punishment from her girlfriend? Maybe.

Would she enjoy whatever punishment Evelynn had in mind for her? Most definitely.

Late in the evening and roughly around eleven o'clock, Akali read through her mails and messages to see if there was something important while she waited for Evelynn to finish her bath. She got a text from Irelia, which told her a vague summary of what went down between her and Riven throughout their time at the arcade. After shooting a quick reply to her cousin, the next message she ended up finding and reading was from her mother, who was asking her to visit them back home.

It wasn't really a surprise that her mom would ask her of such. After all, it's been more than a year ever since she left home, joined K/DA and went on tour. She sent a message that told her parents that she'll try to visit before the end of the month before she locked her phone and placed it beside Evelynn's on the bedside table.

As much as a part of her mind was prompting her to panic at the thought of going back to her homeland, Akali refused to let herself be fazed with such a negative thought. Currently, she was focused on the activities she and Evelynn have in store for one another.

Initially, she intended on bathing together with Evelynn again, but Ahri told her to take a shower while the diva helped Kai'Sa with the dirty dishes in the kitchen. Apparently, Ahri was already anticipating the obvious possibility of her asking Evelynn if they could shower together.

Regardless of openly calling Ahri a huge 'cockblock', the blonde merely stuck her tongue out and told Akali to be considerate of hers and Kai'Sa's sanity. When she tried asking Evelynn for some back-up, the latter merely avoided her gaze and started small talking with Kai'Sa while they handled the dishes.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Akali's thoughts were interrupted the second her phone began vibrating. She swiped the gadget from the bedside and answered the call that came in, which turned out to be her cousin. It looks like Irelia was too impatient to wait for tomorrow to tell her everything about what happened at the arcade between her and Riven.

"Couldn't wait until tomorrow, Lia?" Was the first thing Akali said to her cousin once the call was answered and her phone's speaker touched her right ear.

"Honestly? No, I couldn't."

Surprisingly, Irelia sounded absolutely depressed. She expected excitement and a much eager tone when it came to this moment, so Akali was genuinely confused. She was just about to ask for the reason behind her cousin's saddened state when Evelynn exited the bathroom, which distracted her for a moment.

Who wouldn't be thrown out of focus at the sight of an amber-eyed goddess walking up to her in nothing but a short fluffy robe that did no justice in hiding such a tempting cleavage? And don't even get her started with those long legs...

Akali blinked and immediately tried returning her attention to her cousin once Evelynn chuckled at the face she made and gave her forehead a kiss before making her way to the closet to retrieve a sleepwear. When the diva was finally out of sight again, all of her attention returned to the person on the other line of the call.

"Hey, Lia, you sound really down right now. Something wrong?"

"Something wrong? Ugh... I don't really know where to start." Irelia muttered, sighing rather heavily. "I shouldn't be acting like this right now, especially since I just came face to face with Riven a couple of hours ago, but I just..."

"Just...?"

"...I just can't believe what she told me. Or at least accept what she said."

Confusion was practically written all over the rapper's face. "Accept what?"

"..."

"Lia?"

"..."

"Irelia, still there?"

"...She has a boyfriend."

For a moment, Akali blinked a couple of times as her brain worked and processed the given information concerning her cousin's longtime friend slash crush. Sympathy filled the freestyler soon after, a flash of the memory of Evelynn's rejection at the nightclub fleeting briefly across her head.

"Oh."

"Yeah..." Irelia sighed heavily for the second time. "It's really... It's really bothering me."

"Lia..."

"I know, I know, I shouldn't be feeling like this. I mean, I'm just her friend and I shouldn't be letting something stupid like this bug me." Her cousin huffed as she continued with, "But I can't help it. When she showed a picture of him with her, I felt like I wanted to grab her phone and throw it to the other side of the arcade earlier. They looked so cute together and it was really irritating."

"Irelia."

"What?"

"You're jealous." It wasn't a question, and somewhat surprisingly...

"...I am."

...Irelia didn't deny it.

"Is it, uhh..."

Akali trailed off with her words when a pair of arms suddenly wound around her from behind and pulled her in. She was a bit surprised with not only the gesture, but also the fact that she didn't even notice Evelynn come out of the closet and approach her or the shift of the bed itself when said woman joined her on it. She felt her lover place a kiss on the side of her neck before a whisper reached her free left ear.

"Don't mind me." Evelynn softly murmured in Akali's ear before nuzzling her face against the back of her shoulder.

Clearing her throat and doing what the diva told her to do, Akali exerted a fair amount of effort in ignoring the clinging goddess as much as she could. She once again focused her attention to the person on the other side of the call.

"Is it serious?" Akali managed to ask in a steady voice, relieved that Irelia didn't seem to be suspicious of what was going on from her own end.

"I don't know, and I didn't really ask." Irelia now sounded annoyed with herself. "All of this is honestly too confusing for me to handle."

"Maybe sleeping some of that stress off could help."

Sighing, Irelia agreed with Akali's suggestion. "Yeah, probably. Sorry for calling, Li. You were probably busy with Evelynn or something."

Much to Akali's control, her cheeks warmed up and donned a light shade of red. "H-Hey! I'm not always with Eve, y'know."

Beside her, the mentioned woman eyed her with interest and a quirked eyebrow, while Irelia gave a scoff-like laugh that made it clear that she didn't believe Akali's claim. Despite feeling the gaze of her girlfriend on her, Akali made sure to use a ton of effort in resisting the urge to turn to Evelynn.

"Right. Like I'd believe that, Li. You live under the same roof. There's no doubt that there's something happening between you two."

"Lia!"

"Oyasumi, Li-chan." Irelia bid in a sing-song but rather flat-toned manner before ending the call with a simple tap.

As soon as the call ended, Akali placed her phone beside Evelynn's on the bedside table before she sighed, leaned back and laid against the chest of the other female, who had no trouble in accommodating her with an idle embrace.

"Is everything alright, darling?" Evelynn asked Akali, hands running upward over her arms before gathering all of her unruly hair in one grasp. "You seem a bit stressed."

"Nah, it's just something about Irelia."

"What about her?"

"Her crush has a boyfriend."

"Ah." Evelynn stopped playing with Akali's hair and chose to just rest her chin on the rapper's shoulder and encircle her arms around her midriff. "I guess this is the part where I should feel absolutely lucky."

"Lucky? How?"

"Well, first of all, my crush is in my arms right now." As Evelynn said this, she gave Akali's temple a little kiss. "And the best thing here is that she's already my girlfriend."

"Uhh, Eve?" Akali shifted until she was looking right at the diva. "I don't think that's how it works."

"Whatever." Evelynn shook her head before leaning in and initiating a kiss. One that Akali immediately participated in. The freestyler briefly smiled between the kiss, mainly in excitement, especially when she and Evelynn parted their lips to let their tongues meet one another.

There was only one pleasurable yet fleeting touch between their tongues that happened when Evelynn suddenly ended the whole kiss by the act of pulling back, which then prompted Akali to try and follow after her as an attempt to resume the exchange.

"Eve..." Akali uttered her name in a whine-like snarl when her gesture was denied, frustration evident in her eyes.

"Before you ask, no, darling, I'm not teasing you." Evelynn said, having a hunch that Akali will bring that detail up again. Nonetheless, that wasn't exactly the reason why she pulled back. "We made a deal earlier, didn't we? One that you oh so fairly won, so I'm sure you have something in mind for me."

Once Evelynn reminded Akali of the deal and the advantage the latter had over the older artist, those azure crystals shifted and were suddenly invaded by an intently hungry gleam. Akali turned around until she had her arms wrapped around Evelynn's neck, most of her entire self leaning in until they both fell back on the bed. As expected, she was on top, while she had her beautiful girlfriend underneath her and completely in her mercy.

Much to Akali's annoyance though, she wasn't given the chance to explore the lascivious ideas that were swirling around in her head. Evelynn placed her hands on the rapper's chest and prevented her from closing the gap between them, which nearly made the freestyler growl in irritation.

"Ah-ah-ah," Evelynn raised a finger in front of Akali's face, wagging it in front of those lust-laced blues as she smirked. "and what do you think you're doing?"

"Claiming my reward." Akali almost grunted, wanting to push the hand that was stopping her from lowering herself and kissing the smirking woman.

"If I recall correctly, and I'm quite sure I do, this wasn't part of the deal."

"What?"

"We agreed," Evelynn grabbed the front of Akali's shirt, pulling her down but still not allowing her to instigate another kiss. She knew it was vexing in Akali's part. "that if you won, I'll let you sign my back like what I did to you a few days ago. That, and you could take a picture of it. That's it."

Akali frowned, especially when she remembered the precise memory of that agreement. She mentally cursed herself for not adding more terms from her side of the deal. That was certainly an opportunity she terribly missed. With a displeased expression, Akali reluctantly pushed herself away from Evelynn and occupied the vacant space at the diva's left.

The smile Evelynn tried passing off as innocent further poked at Akali's patience. She so badly wanted to push Evelynn back down and ravage those soft lips that unbelievably belonged to a human goddess.

"Fine." Akali muttered, a pout-like scowl masking her face. "What do I use?"

Evelynn nodded towards the direction of her vanity table. "Get a body marker there."

Huffing quietly, Akali left the bed and went to get what was mentioned. Once she got to the table and pulled the drawer open where the markers can be found, her eyes immediately spotted the glass case containing dozens of colored body markers. All of her focus zeroed in on the vibrant green marker among other eye-catching hues. She didn't hesitate in opening the case and snatching the cosmetic pen from its place, closing the drawer and returning to Evelynn with a visibly mischievous glint in her eyes.

Ever the observant person she was, Evelynn noticed the shift in Akali's facial expression. The mischief that was clearly gleaming in the rapper's gaze was enough to convince her to give her own sly smile.

"Good choice." She commented, her eyes glancing at the green marker for a brief moment.

What Akali was about to say was so fulfilling for the freestyler herself. She couldn't believe she had the power to say such, especially the fact that Evelynn also had not much of a choice once she issued the one-word command in her head. With a rather smug grin, Akali ordered Evelynn to...

"Strip."

A perfect eyebrow that belonged to no one but the beauty on the bed was quirked at her command and the amusement on the latter's face became as blatant as how piercing her amber gaze was. Regardless, Evelynn began unbuttoning the silk nightshirt, making sure she maintained eye contact with Akali as she gradually undressed herself.

"As you wish."

Akali unconsciously licked her lips as the her gaze trailed over Evelynn's shoulders, which were exposed once all buttons were undone and the diva had shrugged the nightshirt off. Her eyes eventually trailed down to the siren's unveiled torso, attention lingering longer around the chest area before moving further south.

This time, Akali bit her lower lip as soon as she caught sight of the simple yet still alluring black silk underwear Evelynn was left in. Truly, no matter how plain a clothing can be, Akali felt like it would be deemed one of the most fashionable attires as long as it was Evelynn that wore it.

Like a spell that was abruptly broken, Akali was brought out of her little daze when Evelynn spun around and had her back face the younger artist, wordlessly offering the flawless skin to be Akali's personal canvas.

In a blink of an eye, Akali was settled behind Evelynn and already had the marker uncapped, completely prepared to leave a temporary yet evident mark on the gorgeous woman's back. She let out a soft breath when Evelynn gathered all of her hair and removed it from her back, officially exposing her back entirely to Akali.

"Whenever you're ready, darling."

Akali's left hand reached forward and stroked the side of Evelynn's torso, which caused the said singer to suppress a light shudder, while her other hand hovered over the skin of her girlfriend's back with the market in its grasp.

A soft gasp slipped through Evelynn's lips when the cool tip of the body marker began to ghost over her back. She kept herself as still as she could, halting shudders and shivers midway to avoid causing Akali in making an error with the signature she was imprinting on her back.

"Kali..."

"Perfect." Akali said with a satisfied tone once she finished writing her signature and drawing the same Z-shaped underline Evelynn had done underneath her own signature last time. She swiftly capped the marker and tossed it to the side of the bed before leaning in and blowing on the temporarily inked skin, wanting it to dry immediately to proceed to the next part of the deal.

Evelynn chuckled the moment Akali nodded behind her and told her the ink was now dry. She turned to face Akali halfway, smiling as she asked, "Now, do you want me to pose for a specific angle or did you come up with something else?"

"Actually," Akali slyly smiled as she grabbed one of Evelynn's wrists, pulled her off the bed and tugged her towards the full-body mirror, but not before she swiped her phone from the bedside table. "I have a certain pose in mind."

Once the two of them arrived and stopped in front of the mirror, Akali spun Evelynn around until the diva's back was facing both of their reflection. Akali met the Evelynn's mildly confused look with a little grin, placing both of the woman's arms over her shoulders, which the vocalist responded by pulling the two of them much closer than they already were.

"What are you planning, hmm?" Evelynn asked, a mixture of amusement and fondness lacing her charming smile.

"Taking a good pic of you." Akali simply replied, winking before wrapping her left arm around her girlfriend's waist and pressing them both against each other.

Akali raised her right hand, the same hand that was holding her phone, and pointed the camera at the mirror, smiling as she gave Evelynn's cheek a kiss at the same time she finally snapped the photo. The click of the cellphone's camera felt oddly satisfying, especially for Akali, who pulled back enough for her to lift her phone in between her and her lover, but not enough for Evelynn to release her from her arms.

Evelynn patiently waited as Akali brought up the newly-captured image on the screen, one of the fingers of her right hand idly tracing the shape of the rapper's ear. Unlike the latter when it came to these circumstances, Evelynn didn't seem to be bothered with her present state of attire. She was confident and she knew Akali absolutely enjoyed having her nearly nude, if not completely.

"Heh," A wide smile spread across Akali's face as she and Evelynn audited the picture they had taken. "it looks like I found my new wallpaper."

"I can see that." Evelynn murmured, but her eyes weren't looking at the picture anymore. She had lost interest in the image and was already focused on the blue-eyed artist that looked oh so excited with the image she had captured. "You look happy, Akali."

"That's cuz I am."

"Well," Evelynn took the phone from Akali's hands without removing her gaze on the other's face. "I think you could still wait for tomorrow to set it as your wallpaper, right?"

"What? But...-" Akali's words were abruptly clogged in her throat, mainly because her own eyes finally met those ambers that were looking at her as if she was something to eat. She might be inexperienced with intimate acts, but she's been involved in them with Evelynn long enough for her to know what the gaze of desire looked like. "...Oh."

Evelynn chuckled, looking deep into Akali's eyes as she abandoned the phone with a careless toss towards the direction of the sofa in the room. She leaned in and started a slow and sensual kiss that almost made the two of them burn with the surge of passion and desire that shot through their very own bodies.

Akali clutched Evelynn's hips in a firmer grip, groaning in between the kiss when their tongues finally met and performed the dance of lust and desire. The exchange was only broken when Akali instinctively pinned Evelynn against the mirror, causing the siren to gasp at the sensation that coursed through her thanks to the contact of her warm back against the cool glass of the mirror.

"You're eager." Evelynn couldn't help but point out, nearly swallowing the words she uttered with a moan when said artist dug her face against her neck and nipped at her pulse.

"That's 'cause I want you." Akali mumbled almost inaudibly.

"Then why don't you carry me to bed and make me yours?"

"Oh, don't worry," Akali pulled back and grinned. "that's the plan."

The mischievous laughter that poured through Evelynn's lips the moment Akali brought her back to bed and laid her on the sheets prompted the rapper to lick her lips in hunger, her hands caressing the siren's soft skin.

"Come here, darling." Evelynn murmured, beckoning Akali to lean down.

Eagerly, Akali swooped in and kissed Evelynn, while the latter locked her arms around the other. The two of them could feel each other's smile in between the kiss, while both of their bodies responded to every single touch they gave.

Like always, they both felt like they were melting in each other's embrace. There was never a moment that made acts like this unsatisfactory. For either artists, staying in the same position didn't exactly last too long. Sooner than anyone could expect, the two women were rolling around the bed, but as they did, their lips never broke away from each other longer than a single second.

Next thing Akali knew, she had unconsciously yet successfully pinned Evelynn against the bed, which caused their kiss to be broken as the diva gave a husky chuckle before regarding her with a mildly impressed look.

"Well, darling," Evelynn jerked her hips once, nearly causing Akali, who was straddling her, to fall back down on her. "what's your next move now?"

The tone Evelynn used made Akali briefly ponder if the vocalist had actually allowed her to win on purpose in the little tussle they just had. Nonetheless, her mind soon focused on her next step. She offered a small grin and a cute wink before she started moving back, letting her fingers trail over Evelynn's chest and midriff. An audible moan left Evelynn when Akali's fingertips ghosted over her nipples, which sent waves of encouragement towards the rapper.

With a few more adjustments with her position, Akali was finally situated between Evelynn's legs, lips kissing around the shapely thighs of the singer. She had no intention of teasing, but what she did want was to taste every inch of the woman she was so in love with. Each kiss she left on the other woman's skin was her way of showing how much she wanted to worship the human goddess, for she felt like Evelynn deserved nothing less.

"Akali, please," Evelynn half-breathlessly called out for her, one hand brushing the side of the rapper's head while the other clutched at the sheets. "don't tease me."

"I'm not..." Akali murmured, her tongue gliding over the skin of Evelynn's inner thigh.

Evelynn huffed out a quiet laugh. "And you expect me to believe that?"

"Mm-hm."

Akali chose that moment to finally move her lips until they were pressed against her girlfriend's covered womanhood. She pressed a couple of firm kisses on the cloth-clad heat of the siren, which resulted in Evelynn clawing the sheets beneath them.

The fabric of the underwear soon became a tad bit damp with all the ministrations Akali performed onto it, and much to Evelynn's relief, the freestyler eventually pulled the offending clothing off. Once Evelynn was officially as naked as the day she was born, Akali urged herself to pull back and fully admire the beautiful woman before her.

Cheeks flushed, chest rising and falling rather irregularly, hands gripping the sheets to find a bit of control, eyes darkened with a noticeable shade of lust and lips parted enough for warm and audible breaths to seep through, Evelynn was a breathtaking sight that nearly made Akali question what she had done to be rewarded with such.

"Kami..." Akali breathed out, shortly clutching at her hair while she still had her gaze fixated on the siren.

"Darling, you're all red." Evelynn commented with a little smile, also noticing the blush on Akali's cheeks.

"I..." Akali's eyes moved south and her breath almost hitched when her eyes landed on the entrance of her beloved. She swallowed quietly while one of her hands unconsciously moved downward. It stopped when she touched the waistband of her shorts, which made her realize what she had almost done. Her body was burning too hotly. She needed to put out the flame that sparked alive between her own legs. "I can't take it, Eve..."

A knowing gleam flashed in Evelynn's eyes. Without an ounce of hesitation, the diva reached forward and tugged Akali back down on her. Their lips reconnected and in a blink of an eye, Evelynn wordlessly coaxed Akali to relinquish her control over the situation. Regardless, Akali remained on top, while Evelynn wound her left arm around the rapper and snuck her right hand inside the shorts that posed as a nuisance for both artists.

Evelynn yanked the clothing down along with Akali's underwear, her hand wasting not a single second in stroking her beloved's opening with her middle finger. She was rewarded with a moan against her lips, and it was absolutely fulfilling.

"Evelynn...!" Akali gasped out the second she felt the sly woman slip a finger inside of her, which caused a massive surge of pleasure that made her entire being come alive.

"Feeling too hot, darling?" Evelynn whispered with a naughty smile. Akali broke the kiss and replied by nodding her head frantically, her nails threatening to scratch the skin of Evelynn's shoulders. It was obvious that the embrace of lust had consumed the freestyler.

Akali whined and looked up to Evelynn, gaze desperately pleading. Only a cruel, heartless being could ever resist such look, so it was no surprise that it made the diva swiftly cave in and put aside the idea of teasing her even further.

"You, my little baby, are absolutely needy, aren't you?"

Akali's reply was a couple of hurried nods, lips slightly pouting.

"Alright, come on."

Much to Akali's horror, Evelynn slid her finger out of her and began pushing her off. Out of instinct, the grip she had on Evelynn's shoulders became firmer, making it clear that she had no plans on being detached from her anytime soon. Although, her actions were apparently humorous for the other woman, since the latter looked at her with an amused gleam in her amber eyes.

"Eve..."

"Darling, I'm not trying to get away from you." Evelynn said, chuckling huskily. "You want satisfaction, don't you?"

"Yeah..."

"Then let me go."

"But..."

"I just want you in a different position, darling."

"And what position is that?"

Evelynn smirked and relished in Akali's face as soon as she answered the question with, "I want you to sit on my face."

...

...

...

...

...

"Evelynn!" Akali practically threw herself off of the said woman, rolling to the space beside the diva, while one of her hands came up to cover her madly blushing face. Her legs were somewhat tangled with the shorts and underwear messily positioned somewhere around her knees, but she couldn't really focus on that.

No, she was too embarrassed with how Evelynn openly told her what she wanted. Internally, she was a bit surprised that she forgot her lust for a full moment and ended up reverting to a blushing mess.

"You asked, didn't you?" Evelynn cooed in her ear as the vocalist chuckled and embraced her from behind.

"Do you really have to say it like that?" Akali muttered, peeking at the edge of her hand and over her shoulder, only to find a completely amused woman smiling at her.

"Well, how else would you like me to say it? Did you want me to say it like this?" Evelynn softly cleared her throat and began with, "Akali darling, would be oh so kind to put your sweet little flower on my...-"

"Okay, okay!" Akali huffed and sat up, mentally preparing herself for what they're about to do. "I'll go sit on your face, just stop saying it over and over again. It's making things awkward for me!"

...

...

...

Evelynn turned away and covered her lips to muffle her snickering. "Oh my God, Rogue."

"What?"

"It sounds so wrong coming from you."

"Eh!? But I said the same thing you said!"

"Yes, but it sounds dirtier coming from you."

"W-Wha...-! Eve!"

"Oh hush." Evelynn swiftly shushed Akali, taking hold of her hand and ushering her to do just what she had said. "Bring that little honeypot of yours up here. Mama Bear is waiting."

After a few more stuttering and a couple of moments filled with Evelynn convincing Akali to move her ass, the rapper was finally straddling the diva's face, her shorts and panties nowhere to be found. And somehow, her shirt was also missing and could only be found somewhere on the floor of the bedroom.

"Hah...!" Akali's hands shot towards the top of the cushioned headboard of the bed, some of her nails threatening to tear through the soft padding of the frame. She can feel Evelynn's tongue teasingly work her up, the warm and wet muscle licking at her folds in a firm yet sensual manner. "E-Eve!"

"Hmm..." Evelynn hummed back in return, not at all faltering with the pace of licking she was performing. Each stroke of her tongue sent shocks of unimaginable pleasure for Akali and it also prompted her to jerk her hips every once and a while, so it gave Evelynn another form of delight as well.

Little by little, Akali lost her rational control and entirely forgot about her embarrassment. She was soon moving her hips against Evelynn's lips, unfazed with how lascivious her actions were. The diva could only grin at the welcomed participation of the other. It even encouraged her to lick even faster and sometimes even suck on the sensitive clit that seemed to be begging for some attention from her.

Evelynn grasped Akali's cute little butt, giving it a couple of squeezes as she controlled the pace of her hips' thrusting. The honey leaking out of the rapper's core was absolutely intoxicating. There was no other word that could describe it. Evelynn couldn't get enough of it, which would explain why she became even greedier the more time she spent in between Akali's thighs.

With most of her attention focused on licking and sucking at the sweet heat of her lover, Evelynn trailed one of her hands down until it was between her own legs. In an unsteady pace, she pushed a finger inside of her own womanhood, which was nearly as drenched as Akali's, to give herself at least a bit of attention and a little sexual gratification.

"Hah... Hah... Eve..." Akali was panting now, breath lost and eyes visibly glazed with unfiltered pleasure.

"Let it out, Kali." Evelynn whispered hurriedly in between the stimulating licks she was giving the drenched folds of the rapper. "Give it all to me."

Akali's left hand clawed at the cushion of the headboard and was literally THIS close in tearing through the leather cover, while her right was quick to grasp a handful of Evelynn's magenta tresses. The moment she felt Evelynn's skillful lips latch onto her clit and nibble playfully, a sudden burst of pleasure broke through the remnants of control the freestyler had.

Raw pleasure shot up Akali's spine and spread throughout her body like a shock of ecstasy that threatened to make her forget her name. She threw her head back, arched her back and tensed as she screamed, "Evelynn!"

In between her legs, Evelynn feasted on the essence she was rewarded with, tongue eagerly lapping to catch each and every drop of honey that came to drip out of Akali's sensitive little flower.

The thrusting she was performing onto herself became hasty, and even though she had yet to acquire her own orgasm, Evelynn became increasingly excited. It was enough for her to toy with her own lovebud, while she teasingly rolled Akali's clit in between her teeth and lips.

It lasted for a couple of more minutes before Akali couldn't keep herself seated up anymore. She collapsed to the side the moment her sexual high ended and she was left breathless thanks to the incredible climax and the crying out she had done.

"Eve..." Akali huffed out quietly as Evelynn pressed herself against her side, her hands taking one of the rapper's hand and guiding it towards her womanhood. A shaky breath left Akali's lips, while a loud moan left Evelynn's the second the other's hand touched her quim.

"Can you feel it, Akali...?" Evelynn breathily whispered in her ear. "Can you feel how wet I am? How wet I am for you?"

Akali nodded, and despite still lacking energy, she turned to Evelynn and crawled halfway on top of the woman, her lips seeking for the siren's. As they both made out with one another, Akali started to leisurely stroke around Evelynn's entrance, loving how wet and slick her fingers were getting thanks to all the essence coming from the human goddess' sweet sex.

"Ready to scream, Eve?" Akali asked when they both stopped their make-out to get some much needed air.

Evelynn nodded, arms snaking around her shoulders to pull her back in. "Make me sing, my darling."

"I will... Trust me, I will..."

Eight o'clock in the morning and three of K/DA's household members were already rising up from their beds to start the day, while the youngest among the group was still buried under the sheets of a certain diva's bed, still charging up her energy for the day.

While Kai'Sa was already cooking breakfast with the help of Ahri, who was unsurprisingly live streaming as she assisted, Evelynn had just left her quarters and was dressed back in the set of clothes she was wearing last night.

Apparently, Evelynn forgot about the green letters brightly imprinted on her back, which can be seen through the plain lace part of the back of the nightshirt. It clearly failed to hide Akali's signature from anyone's eyes, just like how the clothing itself wasn't concealing the hickey that was visibly marking the side of her neck. It also didn't help that the three top buttons weren't done, which not only exposed a great amount of cleavage but two other marks around her lower neck and collarbone.

On her way downstairs, Evelynn tied most of her hair in a messy bun, which further decreased the coverage for the signature on her back. All she needed to do was turn around and flash her back to whoever she wanted to know that she belonged to none other than the maknae of K/DA.

"Look who's awake!" Ahri's excited call took not only the attention of the viewers, but also Evelynn's, who had finally entered the kitchen.

"Hey there, Eve!" Kai'Sa greeted with a quick flash of a smile over her shoulder. "Ahri and I are making some grilled cheese, want some?"

Half-heartedly waving back at the camera that was suddenly pointed at her by their leader, Evelynn offered a small smile to Kai'Sa's direction as she politely declined the delicious morning meal their household cook offered. "As delicious as that sounds, sorry, Bokkie, but I need to cut back with my meals. I haven't exactly been following my usual diet lately."

"Oh come on." Ahri responded for Kai'Sa, poking Evelynn at the side with a finger after she placed her phone on the kitchen island for the gadget to get a full view of everything above their waist. "You look fine, Eve. Doesn't she, guys?"

As soon as Ahri looked back to the screen of her phone for some support, dozens of comments about Evelynn looking perfectly healthy and beautiful popped up and practically flooded the stream.

KaiSa_Is_LAIFU: U r already amazing Eve!

SexyAF_Evelynn: You look perfect sweetie~

Ahri'sSecretFan: Eve is da definition of purrr-fect!

Akali_is_Best_Gurl: Eeevvvee! Youre great & PERFECT!

Ahri nodded in approval at the responses she received, giggling before turning back to Evelynn with her arms crossed and a smug look pasted on her face.

"See? Our fans agree with me."

"Of course they'll agree with you." Evelynn playfully rolled her eyes at Ahri's smug expression, leaning on the counter behind her and obliviously providing not only a nice amount of cleavage, but also a clear, unobscured view of Akali's handiwork around her neck area.

Just like that, the stream was abruptly bombarded with more than just dozens of comments about the hickeys visibly decorating the usually pristine skin of the charming diva. Unfortunately, no one immediately noticed this, since the owner of the phone itself was too focused on looking over to the direction where Evelynn came from.

Akali_is_Best_Gurl: WAIT WAIT WAIT! ARE THOSE HICKEYS!?

KDAsBiggestFan: Holeh Sheeet! Eve slept with someone!

Dancing_Fox: Anyone think it was Akali who did that? :O

Kai'Sa_BestDancer: OMGGGG! Akalynn is HAPPENING! Ahhhhhh!

"Where's Akali?" Ahri curiously asked Evelynn, who was now reaching to the side for a clean bowl.

"Still asleep." Evelynn replied, placing the bowl on the kitchen island before turning around and opening one of the cabinets to retrieve a box of cereal. Of course she did all of this while being completely unaware of the fact that not only had she unintentionally showed off the love bites she received last night, but she had also presented Akali's signature to the viewers of Ahri's live stream.

Like what was mentioned earlier, the lace part behind the nightshirt wasn't really offering any proper coverage, so lo and behold, Akali's bright green signature on the diva's back was finally presented to at least thousands of viewers.

Dancing_Fox: OKAY! Dats definitely Akali's signature! Guys! It's HER SIGNATURE!

Akali_is_Best_Gurl: OMFG! Thats literally Akalis signature!

ChefKaisa: Its OFFICIAL! Eve totally slept with Akali! Asdfghjklqwerty

OnenOnly_Eve: Somebody take screenshots!

Ahri's gaze immediately darted towards the splash of green marking her friend's back, her eyes momentarily squinting as she deciphered what exactly it was.

...

...

...

"Yah!" Ahri suddenly reacted in horror. She dove towards her cellphone in a heartbeat, especially when she ultimately realized that what she had caught sight of was also being seen by their fans. The sound of glass shattering echoed throughout the penthouse, while Ahri's panicked squeaks and incoherent words uttered in her native language mixed along with it as she fumbled with her phone.

"What? What? What happened!?" Kai'Sa, who was as surprised as Evelynn towards the blonde's reaction and the sudden sound of the bowl breaking, had spun around and was looking at Ahri with a totally baffled look.

For at least a full minute or two, the two artists could only watch as Ahri juggled her phone for a few seconds before she managed to get a firm grasp of it and bid a quick goodbye to the viewers. Once the stream ended, Ahri practically dropped her phone on the kitchen island before she quietly whined to herself as she curled up on the floor with her face in her hands. Another moment passed with Evelynn and Kai'Sa exchanging looks before the former crouched beside their leader and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"I'm guessing there's a reason why you suddenly freaked out as if I walked in naked during your stream."

Ahri groaned loudly, raising her head until she was openly pouting at Evelynn and looking like a mother who was just done with their child's annoying habits. "You might as well have done that."

After getting that response, Ahri bowed her head and her face in her hands again, her muffled whining filling the entire kitchen. Kai'Sa had already stopped cooking and was already cleaning the broken glass on the floor, while she also gave Evelynn a look that told the diva to find out why Ahri looked so close in throwing a tantrum.

"Foxy, you do know whining and crying won't solve anything."

"As if this could be solved by anything at all." Ahri muttered, sighing as she slumped against the counter behind her while her hands were just laid idly over her sides. "Taric is going to kill me."

"And why would he do that?"

"Because of what just happened."

"Which kinda begs the question here, Ahri," Kai'Sa apparently grew impatient and had stopped her sweeping. She was now regarding Ahri with a mildly exasperated look as she continued with, "what exactly happened?"

Actions speak louder than words, right? Maybe that's the reason why Ahri just decided to grab Evelynn's arm and turn her around to point at the marks on her neck, followed by spinning the diva around again until her back was fully facing the dancer. Like what Ahri expected, Kai'Sa figured out the situation without needing to hear a mere syllable from the founder of K/DA.

"Oh my God..." Kai'Sa slapped a hand over half of her face, shaking her head once she realized what had just happened on Ahri's live stream. "So much for the crisis averted yesterday..."

Evelynn glanced between the two, still somewhat confused as to why they were acting like she had released some sort of vulgar scandal that would ruin their group's reputation. Standing back up, she chose to calmly address their reactions with a simple question.

"Can one of you at least tell me what I did wrong?"

"Haven't you looked in a mirror lately?" Ahri asked from her place on the floor.

"Excuse me?"

"She's talking about the hickeys om your neck, Eve." Kai'Sa explained, briefly gesturing at her own neck. "That, and the signature, we assume, Akali left on your back."

...

...

...

...

...

"Oh... so that's what you two are talking about."

"That's it? That's your reaction?" Ahri queried with a disbelieving expression on her face as she stood up. "You practically told the world you and Akali just did it last night! And why the heck do you even have Akali's signature on your back?"

Admittedly, Evelynn completely forgot about the little pleasurable things Akali had done on her neck and written on her back. She wanted to blame it all on the fact that she had just woken up, but she knew she had no one to point the finger to but herself. Lastly, the vocalist also knew that if she let the unsettling feeling at the back of her mind get the best of her, then everyone in their group, including Akali, will just end up panicking over the matter at hand.

One deep intake of breath later, Evelynn raised a hand at her friends to wordlessly silence whatever else the two of them had plans to say and surprisingly, the two kept their thoughts to themselves and gave her a chance to speak first.

"Alright, alright, this is my doing and I'll take responsibility for it." Evelynn could feel a wave of anticipaton well up inside of her, but again, she tried to disregard it. "I'll give Taric a call and explain the situation first, then...-"

Ring! Ring! Ring!

"I think Taric's already way ahead of you." Kai'Sa murmured, glancing at the direction of where their house phone can be found.

Groaning quietly, Evelynn turned around and left the kitchen. The more she approached the telephone, the more she thought about what was about to come her way. It wasn't about the call she's about to answer, but mainly about hers and Akali's relationship.

The feedback from the public won't exactly be the best. Of course there'll be some support from their fans, especially the ones who've been waiting for her and Akali to get together, but surely there were others, fans or not, that have more than a handful of things to say. And Evelynn was sure not all of them would be nice.

'I need to speak to Akali about this.'

Evelynn's thoughts about the future was put to a halt once she answered the phone and mentally prepared herself for the lecture she'll be receiving from their group's manager. She already expected to deal with this sooner or later.

"Evelynn speaking."

...

...

...

...

...

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The low rumble of the air conditioner and the rustle of the sheets of the bed filled the sleeping chambers of the diva of K/DA as the freestyler in bed awakened from her slumber not only because she seemed to have acquired a sufficient amount of sleep but also thanks to the audible vibrating of the cellphone on the bedside table.

Akali poked her head out of the blanket and eyed the vibrating gadget on the table. It was a call from someone and she probably would have answered it immediately if the phone was hers in the first place.

But it wasn't.

And it wasn't just someone.

After she crawled closer to the bedside and checked the Caller ID, Akali was suddenly struck with a strong feeling of jealousy. She stared at the name 'FATE' on the screen with irritation, thinking that this was probably the worst things to wake up to.

Last night, she and Evelynn had spent more than just a mere hour of bringing each other to the world of unimaginable pleasure. They were having the time of their lives and suddenly, this Fate guy swoops in out of nowhere? Hers or not, Akali chose to pick up the phone and answer the call that was never meant for her to answer.

"You finally picked up." A nearly husky and somewhat naturally charming voice reached her sense of hearing the moment she answered the call and placed the speaker against her ear. The man chuckled and said, "Thought for a second you'd ignore me forever, Evie."

"This isn't 'Evie'." Akali almost snarled, but she sure did sound like she was a dog about to bite.

Instead of being fazed by her response, the person from the other line became amused. "Oh really? And who might I be talking to?"

"What's it to you?"

"Heh, you're a feisty one, aren't you?" The guy then chuckled again. "And you're a girl. Well, well, well, that's really unexpected of Evie to do. Never once pegged her to be interested in women."

"Why does it even matter to you? You're her ex, aren't you?"

"Oh, so you know me?"

Despite having just woken up, Akali felt like she was oh so ready to pick a fight with the guy on the phone. "She told me about you."

"Wow, Evie opening up to someone? That's new."

"Stop calling her that."

"What, you mean 'Evie'? Why? Bothered by that, sweetheart?"

"I am." Akali gritted out, scowling. "And don't call me a 'sweetheart'. I'm far from that."

"Okay, kid, fine."

"Kid!?"

"Heh, you're easily triggered, aren't ya? Listen, kiddo. I wanted to see if Evie was still available, but it looks like she's pretty much taken by you."

"Hey, you listen. I'm not a kid, and I'll definitely kick you in the face if ever you come near Evelynn." Akali threatened, extremely vexed with how smug and arrogant the man sounded.

"And like I said, since it looks like she's already taken, I might as well see who it is that got her. So, how 'bout it, kid?" Regardless of the blatant demand about not being called a child, the Fate guy continued addressing Akali with the same title. "How 'bout you and I meet up at Valoran Park today? I'll wait for you at the Fountain of Valor."

Despite having a hunch about how Evelynn would not approve of her meeting up with this guy, Akali knew she could handle herself just fine. That, and she probably wouldn't let such chance go. She wanted to meet and see what was so special about this guy that Evelynn even got in a relationship with him in the first place.

"Fine, what time?"

"If you're doing nothing, now would be a good time. I'm already at the park, actually. Black coat, black hat, great beard. Pretty sure you can't miss me from the crowd."

Akali knew she'll also probably get an earful from Evelynn once she finds out about this, but she was too consumed by jealousy to think much about the consequences. Also, she was still not aware of the fire Evelynn accidentally started in social media.

"...I'll be there in fifteen minutes."

Fifteen minutes later though...

"Yes, yes, I know. I'll discuss that with Akali as soon as she wakes up... For the fifth time, yes, all of this is serious. We're not just playing around, Taric... Alright, fine. Go and set up an interview and we'll attend it... Yes, no excuses, I know."

Evelynn sighed as she listened to their manager tell her about the interview he'll be setting, which they'll have to attend next week for them to answer the questions of the media and clear up any nasty rumors, old and new ones.

Honestly, she didn't know how long she had been standing there, more than slightly distracted by the initial lecture their manager gave her, but one thing's for sure, she failed to notice a certain someone's exit from the penthouse and that she was taken by utter surprise when Kai'Sa gave her shoulder a couple of taps to capture her attention. After telling Taric to hold on for a second, she turned to face Kai'Sa, who had a worried look on her face.

Behind the dancer, she could see Ahri looking around with the same concerned expression drawn all over her face. The fact that the lead choreographer was looking at her with that gaze was enough to make her feel uneasy for what she's about to be informed about.

"What's the matter, Kai?"

"Uhh, we kinda have a situation."

"By situation, you mean...?"

"Akali's nowhere to be found."

Immediately, Evelynn's eyes widened in disbelief. "What!?"

xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx

Leaving the penthouse without anyone's permission and wearing nothing but a pair of jeans, a green hoodie, a white cap and a plain black face mask wasn't really one of Akali's greatest decisions.

First of everything, she's a celebrity and of course if there's a celebrity, there's going to be paparazzi. One wrong move and she'll see her face plastered in the tabloids and there surely will be fake details accompanying her possible stolen pictures.

Second, once she gets back home later, she's going be so dead. Not only does she have Evelynn to answer to, but also Ahri and Kai'Sa's wrath will be awaiting for her return. Out of all three of them though, she's more than just a bit sure it's going to be the first time she'll be receiving a much more severe punishment from Evelynn rather than the other two, especially since she'll be meeting up with her girlfriend's ex-lover.

Third, here she was about to meet a guy she didn't even know the exact name of. Is Fate really the man's real name or was it some sort of alias of his? Akali didn't really know, but she was hopefully about to find out soon. Being kept in the dark and remaining generally clueless were two things included in the list of things Akali was never fond of.

Walking around the park wearing a hood over her head and her two other accessories would have been a little suspicious if it weren't for the fashion trends these days. Thanks to such, Akali was able to walk through the public area and reach the Fountain of Valor without attracting any unnecessary attention.

Once she spotted the mentioned landmark at the center of the park, she couldn't help but feel her heart thunder in her chest out of anticipation. She pushed down the shudder that threatened to run through her body as she scanned the area for the man she was supposed to meet up with.

'Black coat, black hat, and... Ugh... a great beard.' Akali made a face when she remembered how arrogant the guy sounded when he described himself. She scoffed at the memory, continuing her scan with a ghost of a scowl on her face.

Her search came to an end when she made eye contact with a pair of light brown eyes that belonged to a tall man that perfectly matched the description she was told earlier. Much to Akali's displeasure, the guy really did have a magnificent beard.

As she approached him, the more his cocky smirk became evident. Not only that, but he also exuded that air of mystery and charm that Evelynn gave off when she first met the woman. It's as if she was coming face to face with a male version of Evelynn, but the difference between the two was that Akali hated this guy already.

The man stretched a hand out to her, his smirk possessing that annoying effect Akali wanted to get rid off. "Twisted Fate."

"Twisted Fate?" Akali asked back, finding the given name immensely suspicious. It's not exactly the most common name or was it a believable one in the first place.

"Heh, alright, guess if I want to talk to you properly, I'll have to give you my real name." He cleared his throat and adjusted his hat before offering his hand to shake for the second time. "Tobias Fate."

It's a much sensible name, so Akali let herself be convinced enough for her to shake his hand and return the introduction. "The name's Akali."

"Ahh," The arrogant look on his face was surprisingly replaced with an amused expression the moment she finished introducing herself. He looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze before snickering to himself and shaking his head. "aren't you a little too young for Evie?"

"Hey, what did I tell you about calling her that?" Akali grunted, narrowing her eyes at Tobias.

"You didn't answer the question."

"Why do I have to? Isn't the fact that I was the one who answered the call enough of an answer?"

"Fair point." Tobias leaned forward and took a single sniff. He chuckled as he retracted back. "Yep, that's Evelynn's favorite perfume. Who would've guessed she'd sleep with a girl."

"I don't see anything wrong with it." Akali's fists clenched and unclenched. She wanted to punch the guy, but a small voice at the back of her head stopped her. "It's none of your business anyway."

"Heh, sure."

Oh, how Akali wanted to become as violent as she could get towards the man before her, but again, the thought of Evelynn and how she'd react held her back. It didn't stop her from thinking about how she could beat up the guy though, just like what she had done to the man that flirted with Evelynn at the nightclub.

"Sooo, Evelynn trusts you with her phone? That's surprising." Tobias gave a little laugh before ushering Akali to walk with him. The latter chose to go along, mainly because the man complied enough to not call Evelynn with the nickname he used to call her when they were still dating.

"What's so surprising about Eve trusting someone with her cell?"

"She's a private person. Hell, she didn't even trust me enough to leave her phone around me. Although," Tobias tapped his chin as he said, "she trusted me enough to talk openly about our relationship. Good times."

"Did you literally just call me out here just to brag about how happy you and her were when you two were together?" Akali muttered, not at all pleased with the direction of their conversation.

"Not really. You see, I might not like the fame, but I keep track with what's happening around the world. In this case, I heard about the rumors circulating around the media about Evelynn being involved with someone named Akali." Tobias then turned to flash her a little grin. "I wanted to see if someone as young as you can keep up with the flames that's gonna burn you, especially if you plan on staying in the long-run."

"What, you think I'm only staying with Evelynn for a few months? Have a bit of fun, then leave? Nice try, but no, I'll be with her until the very end."

"You say that now, but you haven't gone through the fire itself." As Tobias said this, he gave Akali's arm a poke. "You haven't even told the public yet."

"So what? We're still waiting for the right time." Akali was a bit irked that Tobias seemed to want her and Evelynn to go public with their relationship just like that. It wasn't his business, so it really was getting on her nerves.

"And when will that be? Oh, and by the way, have you ever thought about what you'll say once the time comes that you meet Evelynn's parents?"

"What else should I say? I'll explain everything to them about...-"

"How you love Evelynn? Please tell me you have another ace up your sleeve, 'cause frankly, that plan ain't even an ace to begin with."

"You're really annoying, arent you?"

"And you're really naive." Tobias smoothly retorted, withdrawing a box of cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket. He took a stick of smoke before storing the box again, lighting the one he had in hand and taking a mouthful of smoke before continuing with, "Do you really think it's that easy? Remember, kid, you're in the celebrity business and so is Evelynn and her family. Her mother doesn't even like you. Pretty sure you saw what happened and what she said in the Academy Awards."

Akali refuse to look at Tobias' direction, her eyebrows slightly furrowed and her hands hidden in the pockets of her hoodie. She was honestly pushing that thought away from her mind and had been successful in convincing herself that it didn't matter until now. Tobias had a point. Eventually, they'll reach the point where she and Evelynn will have to introduce each other to their families, especially if the two of them were as serious as they seem to be.

"And not to be racist or anything, but aren't Asian people like you strict about these kinds for things? Man and woman only, no other set of couples exists, those kind of shit, yeah? Do you parents know you're sleeping with Evelynn? And that you're supposedly serious with her? Well? Do they?"

"...Why do you even care?" Was the only response Akali could give, her shoulders hunching slightly as she spoke. "If you were in my shoes, you'd probably know the pressure behind all of that."

"Probably," Tobias said with a light shrug. "but that doesn't exactly excuse you from telling the truth."

"I'm not saying it does." Akali almost snarled back. She gave the other a narrowed look, her irritation flashing in her eyes. "You don't know how much I want to show the world how much I love Evelynn."

"I think I might have a clue."

"Oh really?"

"Uh-huh." Tobias stopped on his tracks and turned to face Akali directly. "There's a reason why I called you out here and I'm just gonna say it now, it wasn't because I want Evelynn back."

"That's hard to believe. Asking her out through text? Let's face it, Fate. If she hadn't left her phone and I hadn't answered your call, you'd probably still be texting right now."

Both of them knew Akali had a solid point and Tobias could only give a little laugh as he shook his head, raising his hands up in front of him as a short gesture of surrender. He wouldn't deny something that's already blatantly obvious.

"Okay, okay, you got me there, but hey, old habits die hard."

"Old habits?"

"Mine and Evelynn's relationship might be a little short, but it was serious, and well... we had a good time." Tobias immediately raised a hand in front of him once again, especially when he noticed the furious glare Akali was giving him. "The point is, if I knew in the first place that you and Evelynn are official, then I wouldn't have bothered."

"And you expect me to believe you?"

"You don't have to, but maybe you could listen to what I have to say."

Akali huffed and crossed her arms, not really liking the mentioned idea. Despite the latter, she sighed and said, "What do you want to say anyway?"

Tobias visibly allowed his guard to come down before he replied, "Honestly, if Evelynn wasn't a celebrity and the fame didn't bug us and our relationship, then I probably wouldn't have left. She's a great woman and she deserves at least someone to take care of her. The possibility of her having no one somehow worries me."

"You genuinely worry about her?"

"Yes. As you can see, I'm not exactly the one for her," A light-hearted smile on the man's face somewhat surprised Akali, seeing that it was directed at her. It was unlike the cocky smirks and smug grins he kept on flashing earlier. "but maybe you can take that place in her life."

"Are you for real?" Akali queried, raising an eyebrow and eyeing the man with skepticism.

"As real as I could get."

Conversing with your significant other's ex wasn't really the wisest idea in the book, but Akali was somehow convinced with the sincerity in Tobias' words. He seemed to actually care about Evelynn and the latter's future, and as the beauty's girlfriend, it was Akali's duty to make sure said woman gets what she rightfully deserved.

"Alright, Fate," Akali crossed her arms, her skeptical look lightening but not at all disappearing. "what exactly do you want to talk about?"

"Well, first thing's first, as celebrities, you should expect the lack of privacy yours and Evelynn's relationship will be getting." Tobias ushered Akali to follow him towards a street vendor's stall, smiling a crooked curve as he said, "Come on, I'll buy us some breakfast while we talk."

Two hotdog sandwiches and a minute later, the unusual pair was situated at one of the edges of the Fountain of Valor, idly enjoying their breakfast as they both discussed certain aspects concerning the relationship of the rapper and diva of K/DA. Akali kept her hood up but was somehow forced to pull her mask down. After all, she couldn't really shove the hotdog through her mask now, could she?

"Now, about the lack of privacy," Tobias started after swallowing the second bite he had taken from his food. "you seem to be alright with the world talking about you. You're not that bothered at all, are you?"

"Not really." Akali shrugged half-heartedly. "I mean, being a celebrity is fun, I guess? Although the fact that I can't walk around without changing how I look sometimes bugs me."

"Being a celebrity is fun? Sure, sure... until the haters come around."

"Haters?"

"What, you've never had at least a single hater before? A basher?"

"What? Well, yeah, of course I had one. More, even." Akali shrugged again. "I just don't pay attention to them. They're always making a bunch of comments about how I rap, how I dress, how I look, it's usually the same flame other famous people get burned with."

"Have you gotten comments about your personal life? And by personal life, I mean your relationship status."

"With Evelynn?"

"Mm-hm."

Akali took a bite from her own hotdog, chewing for a couple of times before speaking in a slightly muffled manner, "You said it yourself, we're not even public yet."

"Exactly." Tobias gave Akali's knee a tap with a finger as a way to emphasize his point. "With just the rumors of you and her having a little something going on, it's already enough to hype up the entire world of social media. What more do you think would happen once you two decide to come out to the world with your relationship?"

"What're you trying to say?"

"What I'm trying to say here, Akali," Tobias looked directly into her eyes as he said, "I want you to promise not only to Evelynn, but also to yourself, that you won't let a single negative comment affect you or any of your decisions concerning your relationship with her."

Akali understood what Tobias was trying to say, but she couldn't help but wonder and ask, "Why are you even telling me all this?"

"Shouldn't the question be, why wouldn't I?"

"No." Was the rapper's immediately disagreement. "One, you and I literally just met twenty minutes ago. Two, you're Evelynn's ex. Three, you wanted to hook up with her initially. And four, Evelynn is probably going to kill me once she finds out I met up with you. So, tell me, Fate, why are you doing this?"

"Because I don't want her to cry again."

The moment those words left the man's lips, Akali was abruptly silenced and her brain nearly stopped working. Her gaze fell to the earth and was absently stuck to it, her mind wandering to images that made her heart pound in her chest before being shook by a massive amount of emotional agony.

Envisioning the usually self-assured, smirking and independent diva break down into tears was a horrifying sight, especially for her poor, emotionally-fragile heart. Akali was torn all of sudden. Not only did she want to know more about what Tobias meant with what he just said, but she also wanted to sprint back to the penthouse and check to see if Evelynn was well.

"...What do you mean?" It was almost a whisper with how low she uttered the question, but thankfully, her company heard it loud and clear.

Tobias sighed as he shifted from his place. "Like I told you, mine and Evelynn's relationship was amazing, but I guess I'm too weak for her and the world she lives in. She's a famous artist, and I'm just some guy that was lucky enough to get noticed by her. I couldn't take the way people insulted me because I wasn't good enough for her. Couldn't take the fact that wherever she and I went, there were always cameras flashing here and there. I had people tell me what to do over and over again when I was with her and it was just driving me crazy."

"What did Evelynn say about all that?"

"She told me to ignore it. She told me that I shouldn't care about what others say and that I should just focus on us, but then again, I wasn't really cut out for it. I was selfish and I didn't think about how the decision I made would affect her." Once again, Tobias released a deep sigh. "I knew I wasn't strong enough to do it personally, so I broke up with her through a phone call."

"You... what?"

"Hey, I know it was a very shitty thing to do, and yes, I know I'm probably the biggest asshole you'll ever meet in your entire life."

Just the thought of Tobias making Evelynn cry made Akali's anger spike up significantly. "And you're a coward, aren't you?"

"Yeah, yeah, say what you will, I deserve it." Tobias scratched the back of his neck as he took in Akali's opinion of him. "In some way, I'm glad I broke up with her through the phone. I probably would've went cuckoo if I saw her cry that day."

"Y'know what," Akali stood up and pushed her hotdog sandwich to Tobias, who took it before she dropped it on the ground. "I lost my appetite. I'm gonna go home."

"Hey, I know you probably want to punch me right now...-"

"Oh, we're way past punching."

"And I understand that, but remember what I said." Tobias didn't seem to be worried in being struck by the freestyler, despite the fact that he knew Akali was fully capable of breaking all of his bones if he wanted to. "If all Hell does break loose, hold on to Evelynn."

"..." Akali stayed quiet, pulling her mask up and adjusting her hood and the hem of her jacket. It may look like she tuned out Tobias, but the latter knew his words rang in the rapper's ears with crystal clarity.

"She'll protect you, kid. All you need to do is hold on. That is... if you really love her."

...

...

...

...

...

Tobias watched wordlessly as Akali walked away from him without another word. He trailed after her until he stopped beside a trash bin, where he discarded both of their little morning meals.

'Guess it's time to leave the city.'

It would be the smartest choice on his part. He can also say the same about being murdered by Evelynn. If the duo's relationship was as serious as it seemed to be, then the diva would surely slaughter him once she finds out that he invited Akali out to talk.

All he could do now was hope that his words would somehow give Akali the strength to brave through the negative posts and comments about her and Evelynn. They were already flooding all of the popular social media platforms, so he's quite sure the freestyler would soon find out about them sooner or later.

What was important for him was that Evelynn now had a much bigger chance in having a happy ending, and he finally managed to clear his conscience.

"Stay strong, kid."

Pacing back and forth, only light and almost soundless footsteps can be heard in the bedroom. The owner of said quarters had her phone in hand, details of the recent call it received displayed onscreen. She tapped one of the corners of her phone over her forehead as she tried thinking about what she could do. The day had started off relatively well, but everything just went downhill the moment she left the bed.

Evelynn gave a troubled sigh as she tossed her phone to the foot of the bed, disregarding the notifications that kept popping up. As expected, her social media accounts were being messaged and tagged by probably every single fan of K/DA. She momentarily asked herself why she didn't mute the notifications in the settings, or maybe even deactivate her accounts for now.

Not only did she have to deal with all the public commotion, but she now also had to speak with Akali about Fate. The moment she checked her phone and saw her call log, she instantly joined Kai'Sa and Ahri in searching for Akali in the penthouse. Once she finally accepted that Akali snuck out, she let herself be convinced that the rapper must've went to meet with her ex-boyfriend.

"Not a day without a single problem..." Evelynn murmured underneath her breath, letting out another sigh as she rubbed a hand over her face. She was honestly this close in pulling at her hair thanks to all the stress the circumstances were causing.

...

...

...

Slam!

Evelynn spun around and instantly looked towards the open door of her bedroom, clearly hearing the front door of the penthouse slam close. Someone had arrived, and without a doubt, it must be the freestyler who left their home without permission or any notification at all.

"Akali!" Came Kai'Sa's voice. "Where the hell were you!?"

"Why didn't you tell us you were going somewhere? We were worried!" Ahri's voice wasn't far behind the dancer's. She sounded extremely concerned for their maknae's well-being.

Evelynn exited her room and went towards the staircase leading downstairs, but instead of stepping down and joining the three below, she stopped at the railing and looked over the glass barrier. Unsurprisingly, her amber eyes found azure crystals that looked desperate to find her gaze.

On either side of Akali, Ahri and Kai'Sa was still absorbed about telling the rapper how worried they were and asking where she was in the first place. The two were somehow ignored and were silenced the moment Akali spoke to the woman regarding her with an unreadable look.

"Can we talk?"

It was one of the simplest questions a person could ever ask and be asked of, but it was also a query that could make or break a relationship.

Without even saying a word, Evelynn nodded over her shoulder before turning away and walking back to her sleeping chambers. She heard Akali excuse herself from their two friends, steps against the glass stairway echoing in the penthouse.

By the time Evelynn was situated on the sofa in her room, Akali had just walked in and didn't even need to be told to close the door. Once the panel was closed and they acquired the privacy they needed for their upcoming conversation, Evelynn simply gestured at the free space beside her.

The two of them were suddenly locked in a staring contest. They weren't glaring at each other or anything negative, but they both gazed at each other as if they're waiting for someone to either break the staredown or to at least utter something to shatter the rather tense silence.

"Aka...-"

"I want you to meet my parents."

Evelynn's eyes mildly widened at Akali's abrupt interference. The interruption wasn't exactly the most expected thing to be said. She shifted on her seat as she searched for any doubts and uncertainty in Akali's face, but based from the serious and determined expression the rapper presented, she seemed to be as serious as how she is when it comes to her ramyun being her favorite food.

"Rogue, I don't think you're thinking straight right now." It's not that Evelynn didn't believe Akali would ever want to introduce her to her parents, but she knew the freestyler's fear towards her family finding out about them due to their strict and old-fashion perspective. "Is this because of Fate?"

"Eve, I'm sorry for answering a call I shouldn't have answered. I know you want to punish me for that. Shout at me, spank me, sure, fine, I'll take it. But, I'm hands-down serious about you meeting my parents."

Evelynn blinked at Akali, rendered momentarily speechless at what was said. Of all things to expect, the turn of the conversation's flow was just surprising for her. She predicted that it would be another troublesome, problem-filled discussion, but what Akali was telling her was something that would take their relationship further down the road.

"Is this all because you met Fate? What exactly did he tell you to make you come to a decision to suddenly introduce me to your parents?"

"He made me realize something, okay? To make things short, let's just say that not everyone see us being together a good thing, but y'know what, screw them. This isn't their relationship, it's ours."

"Are you really not bothered with it? With what others have to say?"

"Nope. Never."

Evelynn stared at Akali for seemingly the longest time today before she reached for her phone over her shoulder and swiped it off the bed. With a few taps and swipes here and there, Evelynn scrolled through hundreds, maybe even thousands, of hate comments from people all around the world. Akali watched and listened as Evelynn cleared her throat and began reading what she had brought up onscreen.

"From one user, Akali, you are a thirsty hoe and an autistic faggot. Leave our goddess alone."

Swipe.

"From another one, Akali is a shitty artist and a super crappy wannabe rapper hahaha. It makes me wonder why Evelynn would even be in a relationship with her, let alone be in the same group as her."

Another swipe.

"And another is, Akali is too childish and immature for Evelynn. Gurl, wake up and see that you don't deserve someone as great as her. She ain't some gayshit dyke!"

Evelynn took swiped again to read another hateful comment, but she stopped herself when she found it too vulgar. She sighed and exited the application, tossing her phone over her shoulder and back onto the bed before auditing Akali for any reactions.

"There's more, Rogue, but I don't think it's appropriate to read them aloud." Evelynn suppressed a sigh as she admitted, "There was an incident earlier and long story short, the whole world probably knows you and I are together."

Akali, who was quiet throughout the duration of the comment reading, walked towards the sofa and plopped down beside the diva, seemingly thinking about what to say or ask. Evelynn took this as a chance to continue with the summary of the unplanned reveal of their relationship.

"Ahri and Kai'Sa were live streaming and when I joined them in the kitchen, I completely forgot about the marks you left on my neck. Not only that, but the fact that you left your signature on my back and my sleepwear did nothing to hide it added fuel to the flames."

...

...

...

Evelynn expected Akali to claim she couldn't take it anymore. Maybe even blame her for everything. She braced herself mentally as she thought about the huge possibility of Akali breaking up with her. If the younger woman wanted to end it all there, then she'll take it. She'll adjust to it and would act the way Akali would want her to do so. She had pleased her parents ever since she was a child, so why could she not do the same for the one she loves?

Her heart may weep and break into thousands of agonizing pieces and pierce her from within, but she'll endure it.

For Akali.

But just like that, another unforeseen turn of events happened.

Akali scooted close to her before wrapping her arms around her, head resting on her chest once she adjusted to the unanticipated show of affection. Evelynn knew she could do more than just wrap an arm around her girlfriend, so she chose to scoop the other up in her arms and prop her on her lap. In return, Akali just snuggled against her, which made her release a breath of contentment.

"I don't want to be like him."

"Like who?"

"Like Fate." Akali muttered, taking solace in the warmth of the endearing embrace she was in. "He left because he couldn't take the pressure, didn't he?"

"I expected too much from him. He and I are from different sides of society, so in the end, I don't blame him for doing what he did." Evelynn lightly shrugged her shoulders, not really affected anymore with her past with Tobias. "That goes the same for you, darling. If ever you can't take it, I understand wholeheartedly. Just say the word."

"You can't always be the one who makes sacrifices."

"If I can, then I will."

"But, Eve... I don't... I don't want to see you...-"

"Sad?"

"No..." Akali pouted as she looked into Evelynn's eyes, their faces literally a few inches away from each other. "...Cry."

Evelynn had always been the who trapped people with a mere gaze, but this time, she found herself unable to break free from the spell the blue eyes bound her to. She felt so vulnerable. Felt like Akali was looking deep into her and seeing how much she would suffer if what they have came to an end.

"He told you everything, didn't he?"

"He told me enough."

A smile full of worry and fear reached the siren's lips and it was enough to give Akali's heart a painful ache. Evelynn was always the strongest one in the group. The strongest person Akali had ever met in fact. She was the one everyone turned to whenever they had a problem, but no one ever guessed that Evelynn herself was just waiting for someone she could turn to. Someone she could lay her head on, close her eyes and just feel at peace.

"Eve, I know that people have a lot to say about us. You already told me some of them. But you know what, I don't think that's enough to convince me to leave you. I guess I'll have to admit, it'll bother me, yeah, but you'll be there for me, won't you? You'll make things okay, right?"

Evelynn reached up and brushed back some of Akali's hair, smiling as she did her best to keep the tears that just wanted to stream down her face. "I'll make things perfect for you if I could."

Akali widely smiled. "That's more than enough for me."

A soft titter left Evelynn as she embraced the rapper in a much tighter hold. "You are an absolute darling, Akali. Thank you."

"Thank you? For what?"

"For loving me."

"Hey, you loved me first, didn't you?"

"Always have, always will."

There was more to be discussed between them and other concerns to deal with involving their relationship, but for now, they'll relish in each other's arms. Savour the warmth of their beloved.

It was the calm before the storm.

Author's Note: Hey there, my peeps! I finished this chapter with at least 13400+ words, so I reeeeaaalllyyy hope that makes up a bit with the one month I spent being dead to this world. xD

I was going to upload this yesterday, but uhh, I thought about you readers and how much I've made all of you wait, so I decided to add a mature scene for all of you to get a little treat in this chapter. ^u^

By the way, the main idea of the insults the fans in stories said towards Akali was inspired by a hater of mine who referred to my readers as "autistic faggots", so credits of that idea goes to that anonymous reviewer here in FF. I know you intended to bring me down or whatever, but you gave me an idea I didn't think of until you mentioned it! Thanks! :3

By the way, everyone, I plan on ending this story and moving on to my next work once I deal with the issues with Akali and Evelynn's parents, and maybe make a scene or two about how they handle the public. If any of you have any more loose ends that want to be tied up that I might have forgotten, feel free to tell me through a message or a review/comment. ^^

And for those wondering what I'll be doing after this story, I'm not sure if I'll be starting another Akalynn multi-chapter story or if I'm going to focus on a different pairing like Vi x Caitlyn, Leona x Diana or my beloved OTP, Katarina x Ashe. But then again, I also want to know your what you readers want. Thoughts? :3

Replies to your reviews:

To Frigowyn Mordain, now you know the reason why I didn't make TF the photographer from the previous chapter. :3 And yesss! Time Crisis is like one of the greatest arcade games I've ever played, so I just had to include it! ^^ Honestly, the last note I put was just a disclaimer, since apparently I've attracted a couple of sensitive readers. ^^"

To Lightblade23, indeed, I'm pretty sure she can pin Evelynn down and top her if she wanted to. The reason why I'm making her timid and unsure about herelf when it comes to Evelynn is because we all have those moments when we're all tough and all, but when it comes to our special someone, we end up being a stuttering mess. xD Honestly, the Prestige skins are amazing, but so far, I have no solid ideas concerning said skins. Any ideas you might want to share? :3

To derplolplayer, in some way, maybe it really is a filler, but originally, I was intending on giving the readers what they wanted, which are sweet, lovey-dovey Akalynn moments. That, and I kinda used the previous chapter to like, build up at least a bit of anticipation for Twisted Fate's entrance in the story. As for the everyone being gay and this story having no straight person whatsoever, well, congratulations, you made Riven straight in this story. xD And well, I'm not sure if I'll be able to add a straight couple that I'll explore in the story anytime soon. ^^"

To Eragen, Riven was supposed to be shipped with Irelia, but then again, due to requests for a straight shipping, she will now be straight in this story and will unfortunately leave Irelia 'pair-less'. ^^"

To Mikazuki, heyyyy, dude! Buhay ka pa? xD And yes, nakita ko na yung Prestige Evelynn, and she looks super beautiful there~ Welp! I hope buhay ka pa at natiis mo yung time na walang updates yung story na 'to for a whole month. xD

To Mephisto, honestly, I cringe at my other stories and how I rushed some parts and how out of place an idea is (like Katarina being an assassin in one of the AUs). It's the reason why I'm using fan fictions to improve my writing before I write my own original work. ^^" And oh wow, I made you shed tears? I'm honored! (and at the same time sorry xD) I chose Jarvan to act and be the way he was in Million Reasons after I read his lore and how he leads Demacia. As for the idea you suggested, it's much appreciated and it actually slipped my mind, so thank you for bringing it back up again! :D

To Byakko, oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you're doing well now and I'm super, super, suuuper glad my story was able to make you feel a bit happy.

To Areash, I'm working on bring out the inexperienced side of Akali, especially when it comes to Evelynn. Akali is already used to being the tough girl who knows all kinds of martial arts, so I'm trying to show others how she suddenly becomes a pile of stuttering goo every time Evelynn gets involved in the picture ^^"

To Jacksepticeye and Guest Reviewer #1, like I said to one of my readers, this was actually a part where I intended to give a small buildup of anticipation for TF's arrival, and this was supposed to be a chapter that gave what the readers wanted and have been requesting from the very beginning, sweet moments between our main pairing. :3

To just another average reader, awww! It's nice to see one of my loyal and longtime readers defend me. Your review honestly brought a tear to my eye, since you reminded me that despite me garnering a lot of new readers, my readers when I was just starting up are still here and are still supporting me. Really, thank you for writing this, buddy! I love you~ ^3^

To LostReploidZX, my sincerest apologies for being repetitive sometimes. That's one of my other habits that I try my best to remedy. Like I said, English isn't exactly my native language and if you knew my language (Tagalog), let me just say it's something that relies on being repetitive. xD But again, I'll strive harder to improve my flaws! :D

To Akali, first of all, Akali, is that really you!? O.o (Where's Evelynn? xD) Your review made me smile and cheered me up a whole lot, so thank you so much for it! ^u^

To Guest Reviewer #2, yes, I have Instagram, but uhh, I don't exactly post any sneak peeks there. ^^" But hey, I guess you can contact me there. You can also find me on Facebook or Twitter (I don't exactly tweet, I'm only in Twitter for the fan arts and stuff) Feel free to message me there if you just want to talk about something. :3

To Byakko (again xD), heck, if you were to draw two stick figures trying to reenact a scene in my story, I'd still feel flattered and would be like this to the people I know, "Hey! Have you seen this drawing? This was inspired by my story!" xD (Honestly though, I've seen a couple of fan arts of my stories and I just love them so much!)

Well, that's that! Till next time, mah peeps! ^u^
