"Hey, there you are" Ezreal said.

"Um. Hi!" Lux said, wary about Ezreal. He seemed more laid-back than normal, but she didn't smell any alcohol so she proceeded.

"Look, Lux..." Ezreal started.

Lux looked up.

"I know you're leaving like, in an hour, and that we're from different factions, but I put in an application for the League, too, and I was just wondering. Do you like me as anything more than a friend? Cause I like you a whole lot."

Oh.

"Look, Ezreal..." Lux started.

Ezreal looked down.

"I'm sorry, but I like... someone else."

"It's Jayce, isn't it?"

"No"

"Garen?"

"Eww"
"Which guy is it?"

"Why would I tell you?"

"Don't you think I deserve at least that much?"

"No"

"Fine. Lux, I hope we can still be friends, and I hope it works out with whoever it is"

"Thanks, Ez."

Ezreal got up and left.

When Lux was sure he was out of earshot she laughed.

Which guy did she like? None of them.

She was in love with a girl.

"So... how do you get to your house from here?"

"Lady, you don't have to walk me all the way home, just drop me off here, they won't get me. They're scared of all Demacians."

"Ha! Ah yes, The Demacians, known for their intimidation."

Jinx laughed at this. Lux smiled.

"No but seriously, where's your house"

Jinx gulped.

"Whichever alley is closest, I guess."

"WHAT?!"

"Don't make such a big deal of it lady, I just don't have a house. Us Zaunites aren't exactly welcome here in Piltover."

"But, what if they come back and try to hurt you?"

"I told you, they're scared of you"

"But I won't be there to protect you."

Lux thought for a few moments.

"Lady, it's fine."

"No, why don't you stay with me tonight?"

"I can think of lots of counter reasons but you have an actual bed, so sure"

Lux sighed.
"C'mon it's just outside city limits."

"Nice, nice"

Jinx had already started to fall asleep.

"C'mon it's just a couple more miles."

"WHAT?!"

"Ugh, deal with it, I have to walk it everyday"

"Is that why you're so fit, Lady?"

"Sure."

"So then why are you so pretty."

"Because you're blind, and REALLY tired. Let's get you home"

It had been three hours since the after party ended, so that meant it had been two hours since Lux had left for the league. And guess how many hours Jinx had been crying in her bed?

When she had gotten home from the party, she had immediately changed into pajamas and curled up on her bed, trying to convince herself that it would be okay. That Lux would write. That they would still be friends. But she had learned from Vi that when someone goes into the League, they seldom think about their old life.

She had learned this walking in on Vi crying and cutting Caitlyn out of every picture they owned. She was determined not to get mad at Lux, though. Everyone wanted to get into the League and since they only accepted three people of each gender each month, it was an amazing accomplishment that Lux had been accepted.

Still, that didn't stop Jinx from tearing up the Newspaper article about her acceptance, and then crawling into bed with the shredded remains and the sash Lux had given her.

Vi had tried to cheer her up.

"It'll be okay"

"Maybe she'll visit"

"She'll keep in touch"

But Jinx could see that Vi didn't really believe it. After all Caitlyn had put her through, it wasn't surprising, either.

She just wanted someone to hug, but she knew that Vi would kick her out of her bedroom, so she didn't even think about crawling into bed with her sister. Funny. She had almost gotten used to having someone to share bad nights with. Little did she know that someone would be the cause of bad nights.

Did Lux know how cold it was in this apartment? Jinx was freezing, and she had, like, five comforters on her. She could hear Lux snoring from the next room. How could she sleep with it being THIS cold?. Jinx decided to go and check out the thermostat.

Locked. The thing was locked at 40 degrees. It was warmer in the alley.

She went and checked on Lux.

Lux was sleeping soundly with no. covers. on. None at all. Not even a sheet. She was just sleeping in her pajamas. Jinx sighed, and instinctively put a hand on Lux's shoulder. Freezing cold. She sighed. This girl was insane.

Now, Jinx wasn't normal. And she was half asleep. So it made perfect sense to her to go back into her room, get two comforters and put them over Lux. So what if she liked it being this cold? This was unhealthy.

And, of course it was the sleep, not Jinx, crawling into bed with Lux. And it was the sleep that put it's arms around her. And it was the sleep that fell asleep more content than it had been for a long time.

Lux got to the League late at night. She assumed everyone was already asleep, but when she got to the dorms, no one was in there, except for a girl that looked like she was heading out.

"Hello?" Lux said. Where were the other recruits.

"Hey" The girl said, turning around. Lux tried not to look surprised that the girl had a scar on one of her eyes.

"I'm Lux, I'm new."

"I'm Kat, short for Katarina." The girl said. "You're late. The others got her an hour ago. Where're you from?"

"Demacia"

"Oh." Kat said. "That explains it. They throw after parties after the acceptance, right? Most factions just want the champions to get out of there as fast as they can"

She chuckled.

"Oh. Well, where are the rest of them?"

"Working out, but it's ok if you don't want to. The new boy recruits all went to bed already. We won't judge you. The summoner's might, however."

Right. The summoners. The ones that chose them to go into a game and then controlled their every move. Why did she come here again?

"Okay, I'll train, then, I guess."

An hour later, Lux collapsed into bed.

"Goodnight, new girl" Kat said. "Oh, and the heat doesn't work, so here's an extra comforter."

Lux sighed. She used to be okay with cold rooms, but ever since she met Jinx, she had gotten more used to warm houses and rooms. And beds. Why was this bed so cold. And- was it bigger than other beds? Something was missing.

"Hey." Kat said. "Stop moving."
"What?"

"You were tossing and turning something crazy, woman. Here, have a body pillow, it's obvious you need something to 'cuddle' with... or something."

Lux blushed.

But she accepted the body pillow. It was old and ratty, but the worst thing about it was that it didn't have arms to put around her.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Lux yelled at Jinx.

"Well, I WAS sleeping, lady"

"IN MY BED?!"

"Yes, it would appear so."

"WHY?"

"I'm sorry, do you KNOW how cold it is in this apartment."

"Right. Sorry, the thermostat's broken." Lux said. "But I thought I gave you comforters?"

"Yeah, they didn't help though."

Lux rolled her eyes.

"Whatever, I'm going to go make breakfast."

A half an hour later, Jinx and Lux sat at the dinner table in an awkward silence.

"I'm sorry, Lady" Jinx said.

"It's okay. Just a little surprising." Lux said, smiling. Really, it was the best night's sleep she had gotten in a while. "And my name's Lux."
"I know."
"What?"

"Well, everyone knows the 'child of luminosity', right?"

"But, why are you calling me lady?"

"Sorry, does it bother you?"

"No."

"Okay, I guess I just... am? I don't know why" Jinx started laughing.

"Well you are allowed to call me Lux"

"And you're allowed to call me Jinx."

"And, if you get too cold again you are allowed to get into my bed."

"Woah, 'Lux' slow down" Jinx laughed. "Okay. Fine. I might have to take you up on that offer, then."

Lux smiled.

End Chapter Two.

Okay here we go!

Again please comment because I want to know if anyone else actually can tolerate this ship.

Thanks! uwu.
