Chapter Two: Lux's Explorer
The library seemed rather empty as usual—the only people known to even enter the dusty, old room were a few summoners and Luxanna Crownguard. Varus watched the girl from on top of a tall bookcase as she read. She seemed to be studying another book of spells—although most would say that she has perfected her craft already.
"What is there more to learn? You are better at conjuring magic than most of the knuckle-headed summoners." Varus snickered to himself. Lux quickly closed the book in front of her and opened another, speeding through pages like jackrabbit.
Varus looked over his shoulder when he heard the library's door open and in came a nervous looking Ezreal. He was dressed rather nicely and his usual messy blonde hair was combed out. The archer grinned when he figured why Ezreal was here—he was going to talk to the light mage. Varus glanced back over at Lux, who hadn't taken her eyes off her book.
"It doesn't look like I need to shoot the young explorer with an arrow." Varus chuckled.
Ezreal watched her from the doorway and jumped when the heavy door slammed behind him. He adjusted his shirt collar before taking a step towards her. Varus watched from above, greatly amused. The archer had to hold his hand over his mouth to keep himself from laughing.
The explorer stopped in front of the table before Lux, opening his mouth several times but saying nothing. He pulled out a chair and sat down, still thinking of what to say to the young lady. Ezreal froze when Lux closed her book and got up from her chair, not even noticing him. She walked over to a bookcase, placed the books back where she got them, and then roamed the library for more.
Varus leaned over and saw Lux grab more books than she could carry—the stack in her hand was beginning to wobble. He saw Ezreal come from around the corner and run right into the light mage, causing her to drop all her books. The two tumbled onto the carpet and a few books smacked the explorer in the face. The archer stopped a laugh from escaping his mouth.
"Lux, I'm sorry!" Ezreal apologized as he checked his nose for blood. Lux groaned on the floor, rubbing her forehead. The explorer stood and lent his hand out to the young lady.
"No, it's my fault. I couldn't see passed the books." The light mage said as she picked herself up from the floor, ignoring his gesture to help her up. She picked up a couple of books, placed them back on the shelves, and then walked passed Ezreal back to her seat. He stood there with his hand still out. Varus shook his head slowly as he watched Lux sit down and open another book. The young explorer rushed back over to her and stood before her.
"Uh, what are you reading?" Ezreal asked, taking a seat beside her.
"The other day I was watching Sona play her ethwal and I saw an aura appear around her. I was wondering if the aura changed on what I was feeling while listening to her play or if they changed on how Sona was feeling, so I'm reading about stringed instruments." Lux explained in a deadpan tone.
"Lux—"
"Therefore, I'm a little busy at the moment." The light mage interrupted him, not looking up from her spot on the page. Ezreal nodded as he got up from his seat and began to walk towards the door.
"This is so painful." Varus groaned from on top of the bookcase. He pulled an arrow from his quiver and aimed for Lux's back. "Just give the kid a moment of your time," Varus said as he let go of the glittering arrow.
"Ouch!" Lux jumped when the arrow hit her back. The light mage felt her back but found nothing. Ezreal looked back and rushed back over.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"I think so—" Lux stopped when she turned and saw Ezreal's face beside her. Her cheeks suddenly went pink when she looked him over. "Your hair is brushed!"
"Huh? Oh right, I brushed it." The explorer said nervously. Lux gazed back at him with her clear blue eyes and smiled timidly.
"I'm sorry for staring, Ez." She apologized with a small giggle. Lux pushed her long blonde hair behind her ear, cautiously looking away from Ezreal, who was smiling widely.
"It's not a problem!" He replied, "Hey I was just wondering when you were done reading we could, I don't know, go get a bite to eat in Piltover?"
"Reading?" Lux muttered as she looked down at the thick book in front of her. Skimming over the content, her face twisted into a glower. "Yes, I'm done reading." She said, grabbing his hand and running towards the door. Varus sighed with a grin on his face as he watched the library door slam shut.
"Well that was nice." He said as he kicked his feet over the edge of the bookcase. "Although, that was a little too sweet—I wonder if there are any Noxians I can mess with." The archer chuckled as he fluttered towards the door.
I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long and I hope you enjoyed this. Lux and Ezreal are definitely cute and even more annoying in game. Go bot lane as Lux and Ezreal, get Lux to land a snare, both of you ult. It is the most disgusting thing.
See you next chapter.
