A Night To Remember
Time flies fast on the Institute, some champions are not ready to return back to their rooms after the summer event ended.
About the event, it ended successfully, it was a worth for those who are literally busy in nature; of course she was included, Irelia was hoping for more events but the days are now under the vacation, so she has nothing to do but to let the time pass by.
Her figure was dressed with light clothing; despite of her being an Ionian, she was used of wearing traditional clothing but it was not that hot to wear. A loose regalia, much like a bathrobe of some kind.
Most Ionians are wearing a traditional clothing for summer but some are not, it was a sight to see for people that aren't familiar to Ionians.
She sighed as she strolled across the hall, dusk continued to creep in, and it made others restless due to their desires of not wanting to end the summer event. Her foot went towards her room, she unlocked her door, yet she heard someone called her from her right.
"Ah." She muttered, facing to the person that called her.
"Are you going to call for the night?" Karma said in a pleasing tone.
"Yes, I am afraid that the summer event made me drained. Totally drained." Irelia saddened.
"I see." Karma nodded as likely she approved Irelia's situation. "You see Irelia.."
Karma made breaths before she anticipated to speak, while Irelia was waiting for her, Karma stared intently to the green eyes of the captain.
"I am just wondering that if we could..talk." Karma said without making any fidgeting movements.
"Oh? I would like to hear your thoughts." Irelia smiled. "Would you like to come in?"
"Ah, never mind." Karma nervously made a smile. "I shouldn't disturb your rest."
Irelia gasps as soon Karma bowed for apology, she immediately scuttled away without turning her head back after Irelia called for her.
"That's odd.." Irelia wondered. "Karma is acting.. strange lately."
Irelia stood and leaned on the door.
"Did she and Syndra made a fight or sorts?" Irelia thought. "Or perhaps about..today?"
Shrugging the thought, she turned her heel and faced the door, opening it and entered inside.
Her room was dark, but the moonlight made it illuminated; the sliding window was made of thick glass, covered with a red curtain. However, the window was open, the curtain was flowing along the cool wind, although something was obscuring the moonlight glow and casts a shadowy figure on the floor.
The shadow was in a figure of a person that was sitting, with long hair. But what's intriguing is that the shadow also included the three floating spheres that rotate around that obscurity.
Irelia immediately deduced who is this person despite of the spheres. She went close to the window and wondered.
"Hm. Surprise?" Syndra started with a smirk.
"I thought about you." Irelia replied curtly.
"About me? How.." Syndra stood up and leaned at the edge of the window, crossing her arms while gazing at the captain. "..sweet."
Irelia averted as soon she saw how the mage was on teasing again. "I mean, I immediately thought about you because of your hair and..the spheres."
"That's likely obvious, Irelia." Syndra said. "You always knew me, even my whole presence."
"Alright. Also, it was still 8 p.m in the evening, I thought we will meet up at 9." Irelia clarified.
"I want to be early. As possible." Syndra replied like nothing.
"As possible?" Irelia asked, she sat on her bed while staring at the mage.
"What else would be the reason of that?" The mage glared at the captain.
"I am not going to jump conclusions to the Sovereign." Irelia chuckled.
"Hmph." Syndra adjusted her position, she faced the woman at the bed. "I am literally.. piqued on the thoughts that you will express for this night."
"You are looking forward to it?" Irelia said as she made some short snickering on her words.
"Of course, what ELSE?"
Her feet started to float and hovered across the room, she was strolling around with a smile on her face.
"Tell me." Syndra said before she sat on the bed with her weight included, the bed rocked and bounced after her sitting made pressure, giving Irelia a light gasp.
"What will you want to talk about?" The mage whispered, her face was at inch ahead of the captain's.
"I.." Irelia slowly scoots away to make space in between her and the mage but Syndra scoots along with her.
"Well.." Irelia said while she moves; also Syndra does.
"What?" Syndra smirked as she proceeds to move along. "I am going to catch you if you fall, Irelia."
The mage laughed, daring the captain if ever she did was to move herself away from the mage and literally will end on falling from the bed.
Irelia's rear was at the edge of the bed, she was about to fall because of the scooting.
"Hm.." Syndra wondered playfully.
"Huh..?" Irelia got the attention.
"Are you perhaps doing this on purpose?" Syndra leaned at captain.
"No, I am not." Irelia denied.
"Then why are you moving yourself away from me?"
"Because.. you're too close.."
"Close? Please, you are about to kiss me before but you're denying how close I am now? Hypocrite." Syndra pouted.
"Well..It's just." Irelia started to fidget, blushing on the fact that Syndra stated.
"What? Maybe you are expecting to make yourself fall on the floor, then I will ended up on top of you, is that it?" Syndra mischievously smirked as she teased the woman.
"What? No!" Irelia immediately denied again, her face was in deep red. "I am not like that!"
"Hm? But really.. I would love it." Syndra murmured for herself, but it was not actually a thought for her own because on how loud it was for Irelia to hear it.
"I heard..that." Irelia huffed.
"Oh? You did?" Syndra just shrug it off. "I thought you will agree with me."
"I-I am not going to expect that will happen."
"Have you forgotten your reward? It is still in pending, Irelia." Syndra winked. "Oh, I forgot to bring my shades.
"..You will use shades under the moonlight?" Irelia gasps, completely astonished on why would the mage wear shades.
"Only for a purpose."
"Probably for winking.." Irelia pouted.
"..at you." Syndra finished. She laughed at that tease before ahe expects Irelia to blush again.
Her presumptions were correct, Irelia really blushed after her statement, she never had this fun like this before when the time was at this hour of the night.
"..You are so.." Syndra anticipated. Irelia looks at her because of the mage's attention. "Adorable."
"Everyone tells me that." Irelia blushed.
"They do? Hmph, but I see your cuteness in a different level." Syndra lifted her hand and grasps the captain's chin. "Look, you are so in red now."
"Shut up." Irelia countered while she holds the mage's hand.
"So, Irelia, what about me? What do you think of me?" Syndra said, her face lightened up.
This moment has to be true, Irelia made up her mind to think.
"Beautiful." Irelia muttered while she avoids the gaze of the mage.
"What?" Syndra pressed, although she heard a lot more from the captain. "I am what?"
"I said.." Irelia sighed, she was so flustered and red that she felt that it was visible. "Beautiful.."
"Hm.. I can't hear you." Syndra pressured. "Say it to me."
"B-Beautiful." Irelia tried again but she stuttered.
"Oh, really? I never knew a foolish captain like you can say that with a stutter." Syndra laughed. "I love it. So much."
"Why..is that?"
"Because it was unlikely for you to be like that." Syndra finished. "And yes, I appreciated your adorable praise."
"Ah.. Yes." Irelia made a smile that screams for help.
Despite of the mood hasn't yet settled, Syndra wondered how to turn this moment be the best, she knew that the captain was not easy to bend; yet her motive was to make the Ionian captain focus only her. Her only.
However, she remembered what happened lately before she made her visit. Never knew she suffered a handful of headaches with it, despite of her "accomplices".
5:00 p.m
After the event:
Having a hard time to spend the rest of the day after the summer event, the mage just strolled across the halls of the institute, she was on her usual attire, in fact the swimwear she had used was on her laundry. Upon reaching the end of the hall, she have wandered a large door leading to a facility, at the left part of the wall reads: "Library". She tried to be productive today, although books can be useful at ways.
She opened the door with a single sweep of her magic, her eyes fed the large cases of books, the array of shelves holding books, and aisles that hold books, obviously. The scent of the old pages that those knowledgeable things hold were dry and nostalgic, she had a case of books inside her fortress that was locked, she hasn't used it since the day she ripped off the building from the land.
A Shuriman descendant was standing guard at the receptionist desk, he was reading a book, standing, even there was a chair beside him. His nose twitches as if he caught the mage's scent with his canine instincts.
" He deserves this job like a domestic pet. People are full of stereotypes ." Syndra thought as she was disgusted.
She ignored Nasus; the one who stood as a guard for the library. Although Nasus don't care at all since he knew Syndra's attitude.
Finally she reached the aisles, she wandered her eyes every corner if ever she could caught something that interests her. Or perhaps it was. At the middle of the aisle, she spotted that was familiar to her. Tails. Those tails that irritated her especially when it's wagging, of course she was right. It was wagging endlessly.
She took a peek to see the person she had been seeing as a mutt. What she have seen was also one that familiarized her. Zed. He was looking at something on the shelves, likely a book.
She overheard the two whispering.
"Look at this Zed!"
"What."
"Look!"
"You are interrupting!"
"Just look at this, quick!"
The ninja sighed.
"Can you JUST let me find what I need to find, FOX?"
"Geez, it's only a peek! This book has pictures! Big drawings!"
Zed grunted, he was literally annoyed, and totally irritated because he was in a gesture of finding an item.
"Hmph. Oh yes." Zed made a malicious snicker that Ahri disguted.
"Oh look. You have found a Men's magazine or sort of-" Ahri teased.
"WHAT?!" Zed immediately countered.
"I knew it." Ahri leered teasingly. "Let me see?"
Ahri caught Zed's book written in red ink, black covers and a moonlight theme. She reads it.
"Ninja Love.. wait..What..?" Ahri was shocked.
Zed gasps, it was making the ninja embarrassed. "WHAT THE!"
Yet they heard someone made a hush, it came from Nasus.
"If YOU tell this..to ANYONE!" Zed made an angry whisper at Ahri.
"In one condition." Ahri grinned.
"And what in the WORLD do you want!?" Zed whispered again angrily.
"Look at this first! And I will not tell anyone that you love..steamy ninja romance.." Ahri smirked.
"DON'T CALL IT LIKE THAT!" Zed countered with his face burns with shame. "Fine!"
Now the two stared at the book, it was a book that was filled with big drawings, likely a comic. It was drawn only with ink.
Yet Zed noticed something on the book, the story focuses on two females, some parts are beautifully drawn.
"It's amazing. The drawings are so good." Ahri praised the contents.
"Hmph.. Can YOU read?" Zed dares.
"Of course I can! Metalhead." Ahri accepted the dare.
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Zed whispered, he was annoyed at Ahri's name calling.
The fox began reading the comic. She was entranced at the story. However, after few pages, the scenes are connected but things got turned intimate.
"Oh.. my.. god." Ahri blushed.
"God indeed.. This book that I have got is better than that." Zed rolled his eyes with disbelief.
"But this one is.. so.." Ahri wagged her tails. "Hmph..how dare you, that book was for newbies."
"Excuse me? This book has a lot of stories about my own ninja path." Zed wiggled the book he got.
"..Path of the ninja love?" Ahri laughed.
"HOW DARE YOU!" Zed gasps.
"Aw.. he is blushing. Boo.." Ahri teased.
"Silence!"
"What the hell is this?" They heard a voice from behind, Syndra took the book with her magic.
"Syndra?!"
"Here we go again." Zed sighed.
Anticipating on what Syndra has to react, Ahri stared at the mage's eyes, Syndra was reading intently. She can see how much energy that Syndra builds up while reading the comic.
"Hm.. looks like someone likes..it." Ahri nudged the mage.
"What..IS..this..?!" Syndra reacted, blushing at the book.
"You can tell how much those two cute girls doing cute things?" Ahri said, she saw Zed's figure; reading his book secretly.
"I..Is that?! I-Intimacy?" Syndra said.
"Why yes!" Ahri chirped, yet.. "It will help you make some..real intimacy with Ir-"
The mage quickly shoved Ahri away.
"Get away from me!" Syndra blushed. "That..intimacy was.. WAS."
"Hot?" Ahri teased.
"WHAT?!"
"I am right. Hm?"
"Pervert!" Syndra slapped Ahri on her arm.
"Hey! That hurts!" Ahri winced at the pain. "Maybe YOU can judge at that Metal head, reading maniacally on his love book for ninjas!"
"What!? DON'T CALL ME THAT! I AM THE MASTER OF THE SHADOWS!" Zed screamed. He began calling his shadow portal before Nasus came because of his voice.
"Hey! He is escaping! QUICK!" Ahri pointed at the ninja.
"I can do something that'll teach HIM." Syndra called her power and pulls out the books on the shelf, she throws it on the portal one by one.
"How about WE use this portal to escape? Doggie might come now!" Ahri pulls Syndra towards the portal.
"What the hell!?"
The two were sucked in by the portal, without any trace of damage, except for the missing books. Nasus came at the aisle to check the noise, but he saw nothing but less books on the shelf.
The portal leads him to his room, it was dark and cramped, although his belongings are all composed of things for ninjas.
Zed reached his floor with a light tap, following his gaze back at the book. His face was smiling behind the mask, with a snicker.
"Hm.. Yes." Zed muttered. "I can FINALLY read.."
However, he noticed that his portal still lingers, he looked above to see that shadow circle on the ceiling. And within seconds, he was rained with books, hitting his head with a loud clank on his head.
"What the-! WHAT IS THIS?!" Zed gasps.
After that, the two women emerged above the portal and reached the floor.
"Surprise~" Ahri laughed after seeing Zed got hit by the books.
"What a plain room for a someone like YOU!" Syndra criticized Zed's gloomy room. "Where is that other ninja you had played today?"
"Nonsense! Get out!" Zed pointed his door.
"Hm.. He is denying." Ahri whispered
"Indeed. He probably just denying those things he had done with that NINJA!" Syndra nodded on the approval.
"I SAID GET OUT!" Zed summoned his shadow portal again. "I will force you two to OUT!"
"Hey!" Ahri shrieks.
"Hmph! Let him be!" Syndra rolled her eyes and went back on reading a book that she have seen lately.
"Oh! Looks like someone got interested on the book~" Ahri teased.
"Tch! I-It's interesting!"
"Probably looking for tips on..?"
"SHUT UP!"
"Or something to awaken your fantasies?"
"WHAT?!"
"Oh? Did I hit the spot?"
"YOU-!" Syndra was so embarrassed on the fox's teasing, in fact all of them are true. "Zed! Throw this mutt away ASAP!"
"What!?" Zed got the attention.
"I SAID. A-S-A-P!" Syndra stomped the floor angrily.
"Hey! How RUDE! Just because I elaborated those things that YOU two like, doesn't mean you are going to throw me out easily!" Ahri fights back.
"Ah! SHUT UP!" Syndra immediately countered.
"And because I have FOUND that you LOVE that book; you may see some POINTERS that will make your mingle to Irie for YOU to make her as yours!" Ahri straightforwardly stated.
"WHAT!?" Syndra gasps while blushing. "T-THAT'S."
"Hmph! Time to use an inflatable to float your way out of that!" Zed laughed on that burn.
Syndra throws a bunch of books at the ninja.
"Can you just CHILL!?" Zed protected himself. "This is MY domain, SYNDRA! So DON'T try pry on my THINGS!"
"I don't care! You can't even return that binoculars yet YOU stood like an IDIOT WITH THAT LOVE BOOK FOR YOUR NINJA STUPIDITY 'PATH'!" Syndra made a statement.
"WHAT!? HOW DARE YOU CALL IT STUPIDITY!" Zed gasps with disbelief.
"Return that BINOCULARS!"
"Yeah! Return it!" Ahri cheered.
"YOU are not included HERE!" Syndra snarled at Ahri.
"Hey!"
Zed sighed with the fight, this conversation started so random and went to the binoculars. He hasn't yet returned the item to the captain, who is literally waiting for him to return it. He felt guilty because of that.
"FINE!" Zed started. "I will return it! Wait for it!"
"Well looks like someone changed up his mind to maturity." Syndra sarcastically stated.
"Tch! You are the one to blame! You ruined it in the first place!" Zed accused.
"So? Are you going to thank me?" Syndra sighed. "The binoculars was ALSO your responsibility! So don't complain!"
"Have you thought about how to compensate it?" Ahri calmly asked.
"Tsk.. I have pre-ordered one yesterday. I am going to deliver it to the captain as soon as possible."
"Deliver it? NO! Face her!" Ahri suggested.
"No!" Zed denied.
"Aw. He is scared." Syndra jeered.
"I AM NOT! HOW DARE YOU!" Zed gasps on the mockery.
"She is not going to bite you or whatsoever!" Ahri nodded. "Except.. for sticking that blade on your gauntlet to your rear."
The ninja gasps. He backs away at the door and reached the knob.
"Leave! I have something to attend to!" Zed opened the door for them.
"Something to work on before he got a blade sticks at his rear. HA!" Syndra mocked again, she idly floated to the door with the book she have been reading.
"Silence! LEAVE!" Zed pushes the two out of his room. "Don't ever come back!"
The ninja slammed the door shut, the two women even heard him gasp in disbelief again. Probably he saw the books from the library are scattered on his floor.
"Serves him right. He will be returning those books back at the library." Syndra crossed her arms.
"Indeed. He deserved a punishment." Ahri chuckles.
Syndra floated away to the fox, making her way to her room.
"Hey. Syndra." Ahri called while she follows the mage.
"What."
"What will you do now? Going to read that book?" Ahri pointed at the book, she made a teasing laugh at the mage.
"Tsk!" Syndra blushed.
"Hm. It's a good book." Ahri stated. "I am willing to recommend that to you since you..like those things."
"WHAT?! NO! I AM NOT!" Syndra faced at the fox.
"Then why are you reading it?"
The mage anticipated to speak but the words are unexpressed.
"Hmm..Bingo." Ahri chuckled.
"Tsk.." Syndra sighed with defeat.
"After all, you wanted to make her as yours."
"Well.. I." Syndra blushed.
"I don't mind. I think of this entertaining."
"What. You are going to watch us do something, is that it?!" Syndra gasps.
"Hm. Perhaps.. THAT'S entertainment." Ahri smirked.
"PERVERT!" Syndra slapped Ahri on the arm again.
"Ow! HEY!"
"I am DONE!" Syndra hovers quickly towards the direction leading to her room.
"Hmph.. Seems like you are into it, Syndra." Ahri laughed before she went to somewhere else that interests her.
--
"Syndra?"
"Hello?"
Irelia nudged the mage a little, she was idling and staring at the space with a thought of her mind.
"Hello, indeed." Syndra finally snapped and returned the call.
"What's wrong?" Irelia worriedly asked.
"I am just.." Syndra was about to tell what she have been thinking; those things she had read on the book that she took today in the library.
"Just?"
"..Thinking about what happened earlier. My head hurts after I encountered those two buffoons." Syndra changed her thoughts to prevent her from saying what really made her mind busy.
"Oh. You mean Ahri?" Irelia wondered.
"And even that stupid imbecile."
"Zed..?" Irelia gestured of thinking something. "But why him?"
"You don't know? HE had ruined our moment two times!" Syndra sighed angrily.
"Oh that!" Irelia chuckles. "Never knew he was doing a play with Shen."
"Tsk! What a child!" Syndra lays down on the bed with a thump, making the bed creak.
"As long he was doing no harm, I am okay with it." Irelia calmly stated.
"No harm? He harmed OUR moment!" Syndra snarled as she turned sideways.
"Don't be like that, Syndra. Sometimes, moments can be distracted and interrupted by the circumstances that we would never know when will it happen." Irelia smiled and pats Syndra.
The mage felt the touch, she turned her figure, staring at the captain.
"..Hm?" Irelia noticed something that Syndra has to to say.
"Do it again." Syndra demanded.
"What would that be?"
"Pat me." Syndra turned sideways again.
"Really.." The captain chuckles and pats the agitated mage.
The mage made a smile that was unnoticeable, she really loved the pampering to calm her senses.
"It's okay to sleep. After all, I bet you are tired for this day." Irelia said while patting the mage.
"Wait. Is it okay for me to sleep h-here?" Syndra got up and faced Irelia.
"Why not? There is nothing wrong about it." Irelia tilted her head as a question. "You don't want to?"
"WHO SAYS NO?!" Syndra chirped loudly. The spheres around her rotated again with speed.
"I see." Irelia laughed. "I will prepare a mattress for yo-".
"No. I will sleep here." Syndra ruffled the bedsheets and took the blanket, wrapping it around her.
"Wait..WHAT?!" Irelia gasps. "That's.."
"I will sleep here, period." Syndra finished while making herself comfortable. She took the pillow beside her and grasps it.
"That's mine!" Irelia pulls the pillow but Syndra was stubborn enough to make Irelia put in victory.
"Hush." Syndra removed the pulling hand and turned sideways.
"Syndra.." Irelia called in whisper.
"It smells like you." The mage commented after she made a sniff to the pillow, and she closed her eyes.
She opened her left eye to see the captain's reaction, which is priceless.
"It's soft." Syndra rubs her cheeks on the pillow.
"Syndra, stop it.." Irelia blushed, she nudged the mage to face her.
"Why not? I like it." Syndra stated, she now faced the captain. "Also..why there are two pillows here anyway?"
"It's.." Irelia coughed, blushing on the fact.
"Hm?" Syndra finally got up and faced the captain. She leaned forward to see the woman's face up close.
"Well.." Irelia averted herself, hiding her tremendous blush to her face.
The mage scoots further, she really loved how the captain was acting, it made her wanting to tease up her more.
"Syndra.." Irelia gasps on how the mage was close.
"So? What for?" Syndra whispered. "You don't trust me?"
"I..trust you, but I am embarrassed.." Irelia fidgeted.
"We have done so many things that contributed a large amount of embarrassment to you, Irelia." Syndra stated, she leaned further again.
Irelia didn't respond but instead she grasps the mage's hand on the sheets.
With the mage's delight, she wanted to extract what Irelia has to say. Without further ado, she reached the captain's ear and whispered.
"You know.. This day is the best for me. And I want to make it memorable."
Irelia widened her eyes, she never knew that the mage muttered words that are unlikely.
"So? Make this night the best, Irelia. As a reward for me." The mage finished.
Now, Irelia anticipated, she was totally blushing but her embarrassment was gone, she now faced the mage and gazed at her.
"I usually embrace the pillow with me." Irelia started.
"Oh? It is?" Syndra laughed. "Never knew a captain can be like that."
"Well.. It makes me..sleep soundly." Irelia admitted. "Especially if I have sleepless nights because of work."
"But you can sleep soundly now. You have vacation, so no work has been done." Syndra smiled.
"Yes." Irelia smiles back. "Thank you for listening."
The mage laughed at this. "What? Is this even a truth or dare scenario?"
"It's the truth.." Irelia pouted. "I never lie, when I do, it will be in terms of confidential."
"I see, that's interesting.." Syndra hummed and made a thinking gesture.
What just happened is that the mage was anticipating something that only Irelia knows. She just stared at those green eyes with her glowing eyes, filled with magic and malevolence but right now, the colors are calming, warm and comfortable to the eye of a person.
"So.." Syndra started to blush. "You told me that you have something to say. What is it?"
"Ah. That.." Irelia deepens her blush.
"Tell me." Syndra's eyes are welcoming the captain.
"Syndra.." Irelia started finally. "What are we?"
The question made the mage hanging.
"Come again?"
"What are we? What kind of relationship do we have? Are we supposedly as rivals?" Irelia asked with a small tone.
It could end everything if she didn't respond, that question was making her think deeply from what had happened between her and the captain. From the beginning, into this kind of relationship.
But of course, her desire has to be fulfilled, she has to make her as hers, without interruption, without any elder to stop her.
Abruptly, she stole the captain's cheek and give it a light kiss, she stayed at those soft cheeks that was lightened from the blush; pressing her lips for a longer period. After that, she pulls out and give it again.
Irelia just froze, she never expected this to happen from the mage.
After few seconds, the mage pulls out and stared at a part that needs attention.
"Give it to me." Syndra muttered, her eyes was at those lips of the captain.
Those words hit the captain hard, her heart races so fast that it made her sweating, her face was blushing in full red.
"This reward.." Syndra slides her finger on the lips and lightly touched it. "Give it to me, now."
It sounds erotic but..
Irelia fluttered her eyes and close it, she leaned and touched the awaiting lips of the mage.
Finally, the mage was so delighted, the reward she had been waiting was fulfilled, they stay in touch within seconds before they pull out. However, the mage wanted more, what she did was to snatch the captain's lips again and slowly pushes her down on the bed.
Irelia's eyes bursted open, she immediately pushes Syndra over and gasps for air.
"Syndra.."
"More."
"What?"
"I want more."
"Wait!"
"What? There is no chance of waiting this time. Our moment is here, no one will DARE to interrupt us now."
"Yes.. I know."
"So you agree with me." The mage made a smile before she leaned forward, her face was at inch between the captain's.
"You..You haven't told me the answer.." Irelia halted the mage.
"Oh that." Syndra hummed.
"Syndra, what am I to you?" Irelia asked, her tone was soft and in whisper.
" Special. More than a rival. "
"What kind-" Irelia was interrupted as she was kissed by the mage to shut her up.
"Would you mind to shut for a minute?" Syndra snarled.
"S-So.. Am I..? Special to you?" The tone was so smooth and provoking, Syndra widened her eyes, she was really pleased upon seeing Irelia like that.
"More special that I have to make you mine. Mine. Only. No interruptions, no ELDER to halt in." Syndra smirked.
"..You really emphasized the elder one." Irelia laughed.
"Of course! What ELSE?"
Irelia just laughed and smiled at the mage's rants. Still at the bottom, she squirmed a little to gain the mage's attention.
"Hm? What's this?" Syndra smirked deviously. "You are willing to share some more..intimacy?"
"No, you dummy." Irelia pouted while blushing.
"Then what? Want some more?"
"Wha-.." Irelia gasps.
"I am just messing with you. Heh." Syndra snickered.
"But.."
"But what?"
"I am not going to raise suspicion to Ionia." She halted Syndra before she could get a tease again.
"So you mean is.." Syndra raised her brow, still being persistent to make Irelia as hers.
"I am not going to..be your.. um. JUST N-NOT yet.." Irelia blushed under Syndra's hold. She could cover her face because of shame, although her skin is likely having a deep hues of red now.
"What do you mean? So you'll not going to be mine..?" Syndra pressed, her voice cracks a little, perhaps she could feel that her desire to have Irelia as hers will be impossible.
"Well.." Irelia takes a deep breath before she answers. "First of all.. You..made some things with me. And, that concludes far to our relationship.. But.." So far, her voice has hesitations in which the mage could detect.
"If we continue, those people might be wondering.." Syndra replied, her answer pointed Irelia's hesitations.
"Precisely. And I won't let that happen. You don't want be on a trend that the captain of Ionia is in a relationship with a wanted person, it is simply ironic."
"Hmph. Fine then. Still, teasing and doing some things with you while we are not yet in a relationship is enjoyable.." Syndra smirked, having such tease that Irelia made a blush.
"Hmph.. I am just wondering.. if you could..get up?" Irelia admitted, her face is reddening.
"Oh? No." Syndra denied.
"Why not?"
"Can't breathe?" Syndra teased.
"No.. I am just being at.."
"At the bottom, is that it?"
"Well.."
"You deserve to be." Syndra leaned and embraced the captain.
"Syn.." Irelia huffed, she can't breathe. Really.
"Good night. Irelia." Syndra yawned and started to sleep.
"You can't sleep..like this." Irelia nudged the mage.
"Why not?" Syndra lifted the blanket nearby and wraps herself and the captain.
"Looks like I have no choice." Irelia sighed before she made a warming smile at the mage.
"Hm.. yes. You have NO choice but to let me sleep. And so you are." Syndra got up and positioned herself beside the captain instead, she made Irelia faced her before she embraced the woman, but what is questionable was that she even wrapped her leg onto the captain.
"Ah." Irelia gasps, she made a glare at the mage. "Syndra.."
"Shh.." Syndra nudged her cheeks at the captain; like a purring cat. "Don't make me shut you up again.."
Right now, the night has falling into a deep slumber for the mage, she watches the mage sleep while she kept her body close to her; since the mage pulls her further. The more she watches the mage sleep, the more her eyes go heavy with it, until she closes it and sighed, letting off the night from her sleepless nights into a warm, intoxicating rest.
--
Meanwhile ..
"I knew it.." She made a couple of breaths to emphasize her anxiety, she positioned herself with a mediation stance on top of her bed, there is this feeling inside her that alarms her senses, in fact; this feeling of something is literally happening right now.
The sheets shuffled as her form is making a perfect pose of a curve, her legs crossing together while she sits up straight, inhaling a soulful amount of air that flows down to her lung in a breeze.
However..
She unceremoniously made grunt; a tantrum that is rare for the likes like Karma who is an icon of Ionia's beauty, she flops down of the bed, how she is eager to talk to Irelia about everything besides her feelings.. Wait. Does she have one? Is she really that persistent when it comes to this? Well, to begin with, she is seriously in touch of her relationship with Irelia at the beginning. At first, she finds Irelia different comparing to other Ionians around her, without denying she is a woman, she is tough and resolute. Literally, a rare occurrence on Ionian women.
"I should've insisted her!" She pouted as she shuffled the sheets again. "She is being taken away by Syndra.. Come on. Do something."
Her eyes gazes above the ceiling that is nothing but white paint, sighing at the fact her friend is being chained by the likes of Syndra. Apparently, she has no idea that Irelia is now being taken; or rather already taken..
"As her friend, I should at least let her free." She takes the note from the Sovereign's lips before. "But.."
"Why I feel so uncomfortable?!" Karma thrashed around the bed, the sheets are almost falling to the floor. Her hair is a mess. Literally. A Rare sight.
"Ugh. Why am I like this? They would find me absurd if they would see me like this." She made a small chuckle to her doings. For sure, in this time of the night, it is probably stress, she could feel it, and to that mind of her own, she turned off the lamp and returned back to the bed's comfort.
