NOTE: I may or may not be continuing this. It was meant as a one-shot, so any additional chapters are just extras
Also, thanks to all the views. I didn't expect so many so soon. I got work on weekdays so I won't be able to update frequently. I was planning on waiting until holiday days but today I felt like writing, and hence I did. Please continue supporting and maybe give me ideas? I'm kinda stuck as to how this will end. Perhaps it will end here. Or would you like to see more of how Yasuo will court Riven? And more of Riven failing to lie! hehe

[League of Legends, Neutral residential hall, After the war and the rematch]
"Riven!"
Huh? Who is that? It sounds familiar…
Turning around, I came face to face with my old love.
"Y-yasuo…"
Reaching out, he tried to take my hand but I turned and ran.
"Riven! Wait!"
I'm sorry Yasuo! I just can't face you! Not after what I've done!
[Later on, back at the same hall]
After running around and realizing he wasn't following me, I ran back to my room. He was still there.
Embarrassedly, I inched near to my room.
"It's not like you to be stealthy, you know." Yasuo smirked.
"S-sorry…" I muttered.
Oh no, I got found…
"Why did you run? Do I look scary?" Yasuo continued, making a false angry face.
"I…"
Go on, tell him!
No! He'll kill me!
It wasn't your fault!
It is!
"I… was scared you would blame me for running."
"I know what you mean. I was wondering, but I would never blame you Riven. Not after what you've done. You should know that. Not just anyone can stand up to Noxus."
"You know all I did was run…"
"It's still hard. I know you must have found being near the battle unsafe." Something came over him. Something bad must've happened.
Maybe that old man… The elder?
"Is something wrong?"
"No! Of course not!" He faked a smile.
"You know you can trust me with anything… Just tell me…"
Yeah right… I can't even trust myself now…
He sighed.
"Let's go into your room to chat. It's not very private outside here."
Nodding, I opened the door and entered. I felt awkward showing him my room. It was incredibly small as to what his house was like.
"The walls are nice…" He said, looking around at the wooden wallpaper I had put over the place.
"Thanks, I chose them because they reminded me of your house."
At this, he cringed.
"I'm sorry…" I whispered quickly, afraid I had said something wrong.
"It's… alright… I should've told you earlier. I heard you tried to find me that day?"
"Yeah…"
And I'm still guilty about it…
"Did you see anyone else enter? Like any suspicious-looking people?"
"Huh? No! Of course not! I mean… why?"
"The elder there was assassinated by a wind technique."
"What?!"
Oh no… that must've been what I did…
"I… why is that so important? He's an old man right?"
"He is one of our leaders. The elders are like the government in our country."
Oh no… Now I've done it.
"And I'm also one of the only people who know that wind technique."
"What?!"
That's even worse! It can't get any worse now!
"And because of that, I am the prime suspect. I'm now a fugitive."
"I…"
Okay, that is officially the worst. I just jinxed it. Like the loose cannon, Jinx.
"I'm sorry…"
"Did you see anyone?"
"Huh?"
"Anyone at the dojo."
"Oh… erm…"
Oh no! What do I say?! I can't just say the truth, he'll really kill me!
"I saw a ghost thingy that had a tornado for a body and it just went in and killed him."
"Riven…"
"I'm serious!"
Yasuo burst out laughing.
"You're so funny when you try to lie…"
"Okay…"
I sighed.
"The truth, Riven."
"Okay okay… I killed him."
"What?!"
"He tried to attack me!" I cried out. I hugged him and cried and cried until I felt slightly better.
"Please! You've got to believe me!"
"But you don't know a wind technique!" He said, incredulous.
"I pushed his blade back at him…."
"What?!"
"I… I'm sorry…" I said, continuing to cry on his shoulder.
"I forgive you. You did it to defend yourself anyways…"

I couldn't believe I was so blind all along. I didn't realize his blade could've killed himself. But then again, neither did the rest of them.
Riven…
She managed to light up my life during the war. She managed to defeat an Ionian elder! She managed to make life meaningful for me; having something to do, seeking revenge, instead of sitting around idling, perfecting a technique already perfect. Most importantly, she managed to shed light on one of the most hardest things I've had to face.
I won't admit it, but…
I love her.
I'm in love with a Noxian.
