Chapter 27 - Vi beginning

It was different...

Everything was different...

The light of the sun no longer hurt me...

I can feel every small change in the temperature...

The denizens of Piltover no longer hide in fear in front of my very own presence.

Everything is different...

I sat in a restaurant waiting for Vi and watching the customers come and go, the small little things that humans did when they felt safe, those small mistakes, gestures, and motions the seemed to do almost every day...It was fascinating...I've never seen the humans act so naturally...completely oblivious of what was watching them...they didn't know what was I...They didn't know I could easily kill them all in the blink of an eye...they didn't know I was the monster that came to this city a few days ago looking for answers...they didn't know...But I did...It was...intoxicating...knowing I could move between them without being noticed...I could go wherever I wanted to...I could do almost everything I wanted to...I was..one of them...

I'm still me...I'm still The Eye of The Void...and yet...Why is it so different? Why can't no one see? Why is this possible?

Not that it mattered to me, at least not for now, It bothers me a little but those questions shall remain a mystery, as long as I can reach my objective nothing else matters...speaking of my objective...I've been waiting for quite the time, after Vi picked me up in the morning she said something about having fun...but the most exciting experience I've had so far was riding that devilish machine she calls motorcycle, truthfully a machine of nightmares, it managed to reach obscene speeds with little effort, it had almost no protection, a crash could have been mortal for us, but I have to recognize Vi's skill with that thing, she moved through the traffic like a fish in a river filled with rocks, there were close calls, but she managed to avoid any collision, the was skilled...or maybe just foolish, I'm pretty sure you are not allowed to drive like that...but I guess It's Vi after all.

I sighed in boredom, wondering what should we do next...I obviously want to visit the library...but I'm sure Vi has other plans in mind...either way...I'm sure she has something interesting planned for me...I can tell.

I sigh once again...if only I had a book...

-Hey, pretty face, don't sigh so often, you'll ruin you face - A playful voice said behind me.

I turned around and saw a trio of..."flashy" women...I'm not sure if that's the right term for them...they were wearing some skimpy clothes and tons of makeup in their faces...at first I couldn't tell if they were part of some sort of entertainment service provided by the restaurant...although...I'm not that fond to clowns...

-Hey, cutie, can we sit with you? - one of the clowns asked.

-Uh? I'm sorry but there is someone sitting with me.

-Hush, handsome, can't you see that we are maidens asking for your help? Be a gentleman and let us sit with you.

"Always be a gentleman" Cho'Gath had said to me before I left with Vi.

-I guess...if you put it like that...I guess you can sit here.

-Awesome! - And the three clowns sat surrounding me and started gossiping about trivial things.

It felt oppressive, I had a bunch of problems with my new senses, before I didn't care about the smell, It was simple information processed in my core...Now I can suffer from it..these clowns...stink...it's a bitter smell...filling my nose...it's disgusting...I want to leave...but I have to be a gentleman...it really smells like shit...goddamit...

-So...what's your name, Handsome? - One of the clowns asked caressing my shoulder.

-Vel'koz.

-That sounds Ionian...Are you Ionian?

-You...could say that...

-Now that I have a better look...you eyes are...interesting...I've never seen eyes like that...they look...scary...

-Yeah...what contact lenses are you using? Where did you buy them?

-That's...something I can't tell you...

-Oh! I get it! Those are original, right?

-Yeah...somehow...

-You are pretty mysterious - One of the clowns said placing her hand in my tight - I like that in a man.

-Yeah...why don't we go somewhere quieter?

-Excuse me?

-Don't worry, Handsome, we know how to treat a man.

I have a bad feeling about this.

-I think I should go now... - I tried to get out of there but the clowns held me down.

-Aww...come on, handsome, I promise you are gonna have a good time.

-I'm actually with someone...

-A friend? Is he a sugar cube like you?

-No, I'm with a woman...

-Oh...that's sad...but don't worry...we can do better than her...

-Oh! Is that true?

Shit...I know that voice...Vi was standing right in front of the table, she had her characteristic vein pulsing in her head and that murderous smile of hers...She was ready to kill everyone in this table...possibly everyone in the restaurant...

-Hey! Ugly! We are doing something important... -One of the clowns said without looking at her - So if you can go and fuck your... - She then realized who was in front of her - ...The...THE ENFORCER?!

-WAIT! YOUR DATE IS THE ENFORCER! THE REAL ENFORCER!

-I tried to tell you...

The clowns panicked and tried to leave but Vi caught all of them with a single arm, this won't end well for them...or for me...I have this funny feeling that Vi is going to kick my ass after she is done with the clowns.

-Now...listen here, you bitches - Vi said with a wicked smile - If you ever show you ugly faces over here I may have to..."fix" them for you, are we clear? - the clowns nodded hastily - Good, now get lost before I change my mind - And the clowns left in a rush.

I waited in silence, hoping that Vi would forget about me, It didn't happen, she took a seat next to me huffing and cursing, after a while, she grabbed my face and turned it towards her, I was expecting some sort of pain, but she just caressed my cheeks

-Hey, Are you okay? - She asked worried - Those bitches didn't hurt you, did they?

-You are not...mad with me?

-Why would I? Those girls were clearly going against your wishes, I know you wouldn't get along with that kind of people.

-You are right...thank you, Vi.

-Babe, you are my date, if someone is going to pork you, that's going to be me.

-Pork?

-Nevermind...so...what do you want to do?

-Uh? I thought you had a plan.

-Babe, I never have plans, I will settle with whatever you want to do.

-Then...can we visit the library?

-I'm sorry, babe, it's closed for today.

-What happened?

-I can't tell you the details, it's an official issue, I'm sorry, babe.

-Then...do you know of a place where I can buy books?

-There is one nearby...do you have money?

-Yes, Cho'Gath gave me a lot of gold.

-Really? Why?

-He said a gentleman always pay for his lady.

-Aww...Am I your lady?

-Yes.

-Oh... - Vi began to blush - You are...quite blunt.

-Did I insult you?

-No! I'm just no used to it...everyone tries to hide things from me...because they think I might kill them if I get mad...they are right but...it feels refreshing...talking with you and all...

-I see, thank you, Vi.

-It's nothing, Babe, now let's go.

I followed Vi to the exit of the restaurant and once we were at the door she opened the door for me and allowed me to exit, I didn't find it strange but some pedestrian snickered, weird.

More weird things happened as we walked towards the bookshop, I don't know why...but everyone seemed interested in me, especially the girls, they watched me walk and sometimes they will gesture something with their lips, it was weird, but not as weird as Vi glaring at them, I found this amusing, I would sometimes sneak peeks and I would saw her making some ridiculous face, chasing away the curious and scaring those who were looking at me, I didn't why she was doing it...but I felt grateful for that.

We reached the bookshop without problems, I was amazed by the quantity of books it had, most of them were Hextech and techmaturgy related, but I found some about biology, literature, medicine and even art, after going through many books I settled with a cooking book.

-Cooking? You want to cook? - Vi asked curiously.

-Cho'Gath said a gentleman is not defined by his suits or the food on his table, a gentleman is defined by how many hours he spent cleaning the suit and cooking his food.

-Wow, he is a weirdo.

-I know.

-So...only one book?

-Yes, ever since I became a human I can only read one book at a time, before, I could read four at the same time, It's sad.

-Too bad for you!

-I even tried to read two books at the same time...but it was impossible.

-How?

-I can only focus on one point, I tried to move my eyes in different directions but I failed.

-You...What?

-I have two eyes...so I thought that maybe if I can move them in different directions I might be able to... - I was interrupted by Vi's laughter - What's so funny?

-You are! You tried to squint your eyes! But you couldn't! and you are sad for that!

-Yes, It's impossible to... - To my own surprise, Vi squinted her eyes easily - How did...How did you do that?

-You really are a fool! - Vi said taking the book away from me.

-What are you doing, Vi?

-I'm buying this for you.

-Vi, let me pay for... - She squinted her eyes again - Come on, Tell me the secret.

After the bookshop, we decided to simply walk in the streets of Piltover, simply sightseeing, it was strange, even though all we did was walk around and do nothing but watch the same buildings over and over again I wasn't bored, Vi simply made everything interesting and fun for me, even when she was making fun of me I couldn't help but feel happy, after a while the gazes of the people around us stopped bothering me and I could finally see the magic in Piltover, all thanks to Vi...maybe...just maybe this whole human thing won't be as horrible as I thought...maybe there is more than just reading books and staying home for me.

Without realizing it the midday ended and dusk was upon us, I saw Piltover come to life as the lights started to shine in the night, illuminating the things around us and surrounding us with a mysterious aura, I always knew there were beautiful light above in the sky...but I never knew there were her in the ground...and seeing Vi dance with them gave me a weird feeling...it was strange...I felt...confused...strange...this weird feeling in my stomach...I wonder what is it...

-Hey! Sleepy already? - Vi asked seeing me yawn.

-No, I don't really need to sleep.

-Tough guy, huh?

-No, Vi, I really don't need to sleep, the energy inside of me allows me to stay awake at all times.

-So...You haven't slept since you became human...then why are you yawning?

-I don't need to sleep...but I was curious about it...so I tried to sleep yesterday...

-And...how was it?

-Horrible.

-Really?

-I had...how was it called?...a nightmare.

-What was it about?

-I can't remember.

-It's okay, sometimes even I forget awful things, It's a human thing.

-I'm not a human.

-You are a human now.

-I guess you are right.

-I'm always right...so you don't need to sleep...how about food?

-It's the same.

-What? You haven't eaten anything since you became human?

-Yes.

-Why?

-I've never had a mouth before...to be honest...introducing something foreign in my mouth...it's kind of gross.

-Then...you haven't eaten anything at all.

-That is correct

-Okay, let's go and grab something to eat!

-Vi, I don't think...

-Stop thinking and live a little! - Vi said pulling me.

We ran through the streets, she giggled as she watched me struggle to try to keep up with her...I knew I didn't find eating gross...I was curious...but at the same time I was scared, What if I need to constantly sleep or eat? What if I stop being a voidling? My own insecurities showed just how much I changed...I was scared...I just can't handle this...

-Here we are!

We stopped at what seemed a small restaurant, through the windows I saw several small tables decorated with white tablecloths and red spots, the chairs glistened with the dim orange light of the candles, it was quite an odd shop, at least for Piltover, every shop I came across always had this futuristic environment...but this one looked...old...I liked it.

-So, what do you think? - Vi asked me.

-What is this place? A restaurant?

-No, this is called a Cafe, I found this place when I was doing my patrol, it's not that popular so we can have the place for ourselves.

-What's the difference between a Cafe and a restaurant?

-Well, they do serve food here...but just small things like sandwiches, sweets and stuff like that.

-I don't get it.

-Just come in.

The atmosphere of the Cafe was, indeed, pleasant, there was some slow and soothing music in the background, an old man was cleaning some glasses in the counter, I could smell a variety of pleasant aromas, maybe this place won't be so bad.

We sat at a table near a window, outside night had already felt and the nocturne life of Piltover came to life, couples could be seen walking, chatting or eating sweets, for a second, all of my problems seemed to dissapear...just for a second, though.

-Hey, Babe - Vi said sitting next to me - You look gorgeous with those clothes.

-Are you sure? I picked them randomly.

-Oh! I see... - She laughed smiled awkwardly - So.,.How's the weather?

-It could be better, the pollution in Piltover had some significant changes over it.

Ah...Did you know humans have 206 bones in their bodies?

-Of course, I knew.

-Well...I want to have one more... - Vi said winking at me.

-Uh?...you want to...have an experimental surgery? I've read about it back in Zaun, a doctor believed it was possible to implant more bones in the human body...he never explained why would someone need more bones...but I guess considering the stiff anatomy you humans possess, adding more bones in order to achieve more mobility sounds quite pleasant...

-You know what? I give up...

-Vi?

-I've been trying to flirt with you using these awful pick-up lines...and you just don't get it...I should have never listened to Cupcake - She spoke with a fake accent - "I believe you should use this guide for your date, Vi, I am pretty sure you will have a wonderful night" Wonderful night my ass! No wonder she was laughing when I left, That Tea addict bitch! - She groaned scratching her hair - Whatever...Hey, Master! - She called the man in the counter - I want the usual! - The man nodded and went through a door behind him.

-Is he your master? - I asked surprised.

-No, but everyone calls him like that.

-What's the usual?

-What I usually order, I told you I discovered this place a long time ago, I come here every now and then, You could say I'm the best customer they have...Oh! Here it is!

The master walked slowly towards carrying a silver tray with a glass lid covering it, he placed the tray on our table and I was able to see what was inside of it...

It was, what I believed humans called, a cake...

A cake with a white fluffy cover on the sides, the top consisted of a ring of small chocolate pieces surrounding a bunch of strawberry halves in the center.

-This is my favorite - Vi explained taking off the glass lid - It's called a chocolate strawberry cake with a fluffy frosting - The master also placed two plates and cutlery - It's really sweet and tasty!

-Vi...I don't think I should...

-Hey! - She said placing her hand on my cheek - I can ensure it's flavor, I know you might be scared of this whole human thing...but I'm here with you, okay?

-I...Okay.

-Good, now let me just - She took a knife and a fork and cut a small slice of the cake, she placed the slice in one of the plates and gave it to me - Here we go! Remember to use the fork or the spoon...unless you want to use the knife...but that will be weird.

I glared at the slice of cake in front of me...Am I ready for this? Am I ready to embrace my new nature? Sleeping proved to be awful...What if I can't eat this thing? What if it disgusts me? What if...What if Vi notices these things? Will she speak to me again? Will she hate me? In the end...I'm simply scared...scared of knowing...I'm weak...

I looked at her one more time, she was smiling, waiting patiently for me...Vi...My dear Vi...You were the first human to trust me...our meeting was quite chaotic...but you believed in me...you gave me a chance...you were the first...Who am I to judge the woman who trusted me? Who am I to think such outrageous thinks about her? All I know is that no matter where I go or what I do, it's always a good time if Vi is with me.

I took a small piece of the cake with my spoon and ate it.

...

...

...

Curious...

I don't have any experience in food...But I can feel something...A chill running through my mouth, it's...intoxicating...the soft sensation in my tongue, it's...sweet...and bitter at the same time...I felt warmth run feel my body...Ah...Vi was right...The cake is delicious...Delicious...a word I thought I would never use...Who would have thought?

I swallowed the piece of cake and remained motionless for a few moments, enjoying the after taste, I nodded and decided to tell Vi it was tasty...but I couldn't...My vision was filled with pink...silky pink strands covered my vision...and then I felt something soft on my lips...Vi's lips were on mine, they were dancing...I could feel Vi's breath on my face...I could smell her...taste her...this was...a kiss...

After what seemed to be an eternity Vi broke the kiss, I touched my lips feeling confused, she smiled at me with dazed eyes.

-Ah! - She said suddenly shocked - I'm really sorry! I don't know what got into me! I didn't mean to do that... I was...I was just trying to...Look...I'm sorry.

-No...It's okay...It wasn't unpleasant - I said feeling a slight warmth in my face - I was just...surprised...that's all.

-It's just that...you were smiling, you know...It was my first time seeing you smile...You never smiled during our date so I thought you were displeased with me...and then you just go and smile...that was unfair...

I touched my face, No, my mouth remained the same, I don't even know how to smile properly, I tried doing it in front of a mirror, but my smiles were just hollow and fake...but if Vi said I smiled then I must have done it...although I'm not really sure what triggered it.

-You aren't mad, are you? - Vi asked sheepishly.

-No, I am not mad.

-I see... - Vi said looking at the ground - Hey...was that, by any chance, your first kiss?

-No, It was the third, I believe.

-What?! Wait a second...the Third! Who gave you the first and the second then?

-My first kiss was with a woman called Ahri in The Freljord, and my second kiss was with Soraka in Ionia.

-That...perverted...goat -Vi said gritting her teeth - ...wait a second...you were still a voidling when you reached The Freljord, right?

-I'm still a voidling...but if you are talking about my void form...then yes, I still looked like a voidling when I reached The Freljord.

-And in Ionia?

-I still had my void form.

-So Soraka and this Ahri kissed you ...as a voidborn...right? - I nodded - then, What about your human form?

-This is my first kiss.

-FUCK YEAH! - Vi jumped off her chair and raised her fist into the air - EAT THAT, YOU SLUTTY GOAT!

-Vi, are you okay?

-OF COURSE, I AM! That stupid goat always looks down on me...BUT THIS TIME, I HAVE THE LEAD! AND I'M GOING TO KEEP MOVING FORWARD UTIL SHE LEARNS YOU ARE MINE!

-What do you mean?

-I'm going to pop your cherry!

-What? My cherry? I don't have a cherry.

-You "won't" have it for long - she said with a wide grin - but first...I need a drink!

-I think I saw the master preparing some tea...

-I'm not talking about a normal drink...I need to celebrate this! in other words...I need to get completely shit-faced!

-I don't understand.

-I need a bar, you fool!

-Wait...you are getting drunk?

-"We" are getting drunk.

-Vi...This cake is a thing...I can't possibly drink alcohol...it'll be too much for me...it's my first time...

-I told I'm popping all of your cherries! Now finish that cake and let's roll!

I sighed in defeat, it seems I can't go against Vi wishes...What does she mean with "Pop my cherry"? What does a cherry have to do with alcohol? I'm seriously confused...but I suppose it's okay...as long as Vi is with me I'm sure everything will be okay...I mean... it's just alcohol...

What's the worst that could happen?
