Wolf paced through the halls, back and forth, back and forth. He had a small piece of paper of tattered paper in his hand, the paper looked mangled from Wolf's constant distress. Wolf glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. It read 10:15pm. It was getting later by the second and Lamb was bound to go to sleep soon. Wolf took a deep breath and opened the door to his room, the lights were dimmed and Lamb was sleeping gracefully in her bed. Wolf felt the urge to wake her.
Wolf crept quietly to the bed, standing before her. Wolf began to feel butterflies in his stomach, he immediately covered his mouth to quite his breathing. Lamb slowly began to rise. Her dark hollow eyes met Wolf's. "Did you need something?" Lamb asked meekly slightly turning her head away. "I wanted…" wolf paw began to shiver a little shaking the parchment. "What is that?" Lamb asked referring to the noise of the shaking paper. "N-nothing. It was nothing, sorry to wake you" Wolf muttered walking away towards his side of the room.
Wolf crawled into his bed and quietly sighed to himself. He balled up the note and tossed it near the waste bin in the corner. The paper bounced off the wall and rested on floor. Wolf groaned at his lack of courage. He was somewhat upset with himself for being so cowardly, he turned towards the wall closest to his bed and attempted to sleep.
*BEEP*, Warwick groaned and rolled over hoping the noise would stop. *BEEP* Warwick sat up and pressed the snooze button on the digital clock, he closed his eyes and rested once more. After 5 minutes of uninterrupted sleep the clock buzzed again *BEEP* "God damnit…" the wolf mumbled, he sat up and stopped the alarm. Warwick crawled out of the bed and walked towards the window, opening the blinds revealing the sunlight.
The natural light filled the room showing all that was consumed in the darkness. Nasus was still sleep in bed. The wolf took a quick shower and dressed for the day, wearing casual jeans with a solid black shirt that matched Nasus's fur color. Warwick looked over the clock once more it read 8:33. Warwick had a little time to kill. The wolf sat on the edge of the bed and looked down onto his lover. Warwick gently brushed his paw on his face, much like he did the previous morning. Nasus slowly opened his eyes waking up gently. Nasus looked up to the wolf, "what are you doing?" Nasus asked provoking the wolf. Warwick immediately began blushing. "I-I um, nothing I was just leaving." Warwick said standing up and walking away. He felt Nasus paw wrap around his hand, stopping his movement. "Come lay down with me Pup, you have time." Nasus beckoned while giving a small smile. Warwick smiled and crawled back into the bed with the canine, they quietly snuggled and hugged.
Nasus connected their muzzles sealing a warm kiss, after a moments the couple pulled away. "You've been quite busy a bit lately." Nasus inquired. "Yeah… It sucks but after the party, we don't have anything planned until the week of Christmas, and that's almost a month away." Warwick said glancing at the window, looking at the snow pelted trees. "That's true, the year's coming to a close. Well another, that is." Nasus said with slight humor. "Hey, we've been together since the summer, and it's almost Christmas, I feel like we should treat ourselves to a little anniversary gift of some sort." The wolf suggested. "And what 'treat' do you have in mind?" The canine asked. Warwick thought for a second. "A trip maybe? I heard Piltover has a nice winter festival this time of year, maybe we can ask for a few vacation days." "That's not a bad idea, but I was thinking some place a bit warmer. I've been around snow for ages but I still don't like it!" Nasus said laughing loudly. "Can we visit the Shuriman Desert? That's your homeland. You can show me all the landmarks, a tour if you will." Nasus pondered this suggestion for a moment. "That's not a bad idea, it'd be nice to return to my roots for a while. Yeah, yeah let's do it, just me and you. Promise!" Nasus said with enthusiasm, Warwick leaned in and the couple kissed once more. "I got to go," Warwick said with a tint of sadness. Nasus held the wolf slightly tighter, and kissed once more. "I know… but worry about the party. I'll be there tonight and we'll dance together." Nasus said to the Wolf, giving him smile. Warwick replied with a grin. "See you tonight Nasus" Warwick said as he left. "Same!" Nasus called out to the wolf.
Warwick entered the lounge a few minutes early, everyone was already there sitting around the large table, but Lux was missing. Warwick and the other champions chatted for a few minutes while waiting for Lux. Almost 10 minutes later the blonde scrambled in, she looks sleep deprived.
"Sorry, I had a rough night." She said sitting down in her usual chair, she straightened the papers in her clipboard and began to flip through it. After getting ready she stood up and began speaking. "Ok, so I got the green light to close the cafeteria today, so we can set up. Everyone has an hour of free time then we meet in the cafeteria so we can begin the decorations. Be there at about 10!"
Wolf groaned as he slowly sat up in his bed, He looked around the dull room he had yet to decorate, he assumed Lamb would get around to designing things, but since the fight she has been going on without him, except on the rift. Wolf looked over to the corner where the waste bin has sat, it was empty. "W-Where is it!" Wolf grunted to himself standing up and searching for the paper. Wolf noticed that Lamb was missing. 'She must have emptied the trash before leaving, damn.' Wolf thought to himself.
Wolf sat down on the edge of his twin sized bed. He enjoyed the sweet silence which he had grown to love, but he soon grew bored. 'I wonder what the lazy wolf is doing' Wolf though referring to Warwick. He stood up and walked to the door, as he neared the door he remembered what happened with his last encounter with the other wolf. Wolf looked down at the tan carpeting in the room, he turned back and rested on the bed once more. His head hung low the ground, and his usual look of annoyance turned to a face of sadness and regret. 'I understand why he hates me… I messed up' Wolf admitted to himself as he sulked. After a few moments Wolf began to remember his little chat with Nasus. 'I should at least say sorry, even if he doesn't forgive me. Wolf said standing up, he soon exited his room.
Later that evening, it was almost party time and Wolf still struggled to find Lamb and Warwick, most of the champions were already gathered in the mess hall dressed in their best attire. Wolf didn't have any fancy clothing so he joined like he normally would. As he entered he noticed the well-polished floor, the basic tables had pearl white tablecloths on them and a cluster of balloons at each group of champs sitting. Most of the champions wore expensive silk dress or well-tailored suits made to fit. Wolf noticed the two Piltover cops pass him with their arms locked. The one with the pink hair, had on a white suit with golden highlights along the collar and couplets on the wrist. Her pink hair looked as it normally did. The second police officer had on an equally white dress that hugged her legs, her hair was neatly curled and placed into an elegant bun.
"Everyone please take a seat, we're going to start soon!" Lux said standing before a microphone in the center of the cafeteria. Wolf took a seat at the nearest table, he sat alone.
"Good evening everyone! I trust everyone is having a good time?" Lux asked, the crowd of champions responded with a small cheer. "Well, let's not forget what we're celebrating!" Lux had on a silky short cut dress that exposed most of her right leg, her normal straight blond hair was rolled into vibrant curls and she had a rainbow heart hair clip that reflected her personality. "Today marks the League of Legends 7th anniversary! Today is the day to celebrate everyone's goals and accomplishment summoner and champion alike. Cheers to everyone, the old champs that been here since day one to the champs who been here for less than a week!" Lux said enthusiastically into the mic holding up a glass. Everyone responded by clinking their glass with their friends, and even enemies. "First on the agenda Is Karma and Sona with their beautiful song and dance!" Lux said to everyone cheerfully. Lux cleared the center and Sona appeared floating like she normally did with her Etwahl, Karma soon followed behind her wearing her traditional black gown. The duo began playing.
Warwick stood behind the table of refreshment pouring cup after cup for the thirst champions, Warwick had worn an old suit he used only on occasions. The wolf sighed while standing behind the large table filled with cups, he glanced up at the large ice statue resting in the bowl of punch, it was a large depiction of a poro with a mustache? It was well made, and very detailed but the mustache was a slightly confusing. "You like the sculpture?" Warwick heard a manly voice, he turned to his side and seen Braum standing there with him. "It's great! It couldn't be any better" The wolf complimented. "Oh its nothing really, it only took 5 minutes" Braum began laughing, "Thank you my friend" he said in his husky accent. Warwick smiled at the large man then turned his attention to the drinks, a line was starting to build up. 'I guess a lot of the champs and summoners didn't prefer Gragas alcohol' The wolf thought as he pour cup after cup of the fruit punch, He glanced over to Gragas's small table where he gave out mead, a few males drunk his ale and wines but not to many for the most part. 'This is going to be a long night' Warwick thought to himself.
As the party resumed for an hour or so, Wolf found it harder and harder to gain the confidence to talk to Warwick and he still hasn't found Lamb. Wolf sunk into his chair as he looked at the magic lights in the air which Lux and Ezreal conjured with their magic. Wolf sighed and stood up, he contemplated leaving and going to sleep early. "Leaving so soon?" Lamb asked as she took a seat at the table Wolf was sitting at.
The wolf turned his head and seen Lamb sitting there, much like him she lacked formal clothing. Lamb sat gracefully at the end of her seat staring at the colorful lightshow the mages were creating. "Sit, stay a while" Lamb said to the wolf. Wolf sat down on the opposite end of the table. "Lamb I-I I'm sorry I-" Wolf started. "I know Wolf, I found the note on the floor. So I see you had a falling off with Warwick?" she questioned. "Yeah, I've been a horrible friend to both of you, but mostly you I'm so sorry…" Wolf said looking away from Lamb. "It's alright wolf, I can sense your sincerity I've known you for forever, I can tell when you're being truthful." Wolf smiled slightly, "I feel so foolish for feeling so down." "Well you need a bit of a reality check, if you ask me" Lamb said. The two stared at each other, they quickly busted into a fit a laughter, they gained attention of some of the champions and summoners at nearby tables. "I missed you Lamb" Wolf mumbled after laughing. "Same" Lamb said.
Warwick stood behind the counter, At this point both of the performances were over and most of the champions and summoners were either eating and enjoying each other's company or dancing to Sona's wonderful music. But Warwick was somewhat upset, he was stuck behind the counter and he was already scolded once by Lux for leaving, and Braum was sitting in a chair also behind the counter but half asleep. "Excuse me can I get a glass of punch?" someone asked. "uh, sure." Warwick said standing and pouring a cup. "Sorry about that" Warwick said looking up to the patron. Nasus stood before him in a jet black blazer with a white dress shirt underneath. Warwick began to feel a certain hotness as he looked at the canine dressed in a suit. "Sorry it took me so long, Ahri asked me to help pick out her dress since you weren't there. She told me I had a terrible sense of dresses. Nasus laughed off. "Oh yeah, I normally help her out with that. I'm not expert either, she had to 'train' me on what color works well with her body." Warwick said while rubbing the back of his head nervously. "Come on, I owe you a dance" Nasus said while extending his paw out. Warwick began blushing immensely. He hesitated slightly. "Go dance, I can hold down the fort" Braum said yawning slightly. Warwick accepted the polite gesture and stood up holding hands with Nasus. He led them to the open space where the champions and summoners danced.
Nasus placed his hands on the wolf's hips and pulled him close as Sona's tune began to slow. Warwick wrapped arms around the canine's neck. The two twirled and shared small conversations as they danced. Warwick felt small blushes appear on his cheek as a few summoners watched, the champions were comfortable with them as a couple but the summoners didn't know and were still adjusting to the site of the couple. "Hey Pup" Nasus called staring into Warwick's scarlet. "Yes?" He replied. "This reminds me of our first dance in Pantheons restaurant a few months ago, doesn't it?" Nasus said bringing up the past. "Yeah, I remember that. You looked so handsome that night." Warwick complimented. "Not that you're ugly every other day! I mean you looked extra nice that day!" Warwick said as his blush grew "I get it, I get it Pup" Nasus smirked. "You look amazing…" Nasus said randomly as the couple slowly swayed to and fro. Nasus pressed his muzzle on the Wolf's sharing a passionate kiss, they stared into each other's eyes. After a few seconds they pulled away. Warwick pressing his head against Nasus' chest, savoring the closeness. Nasus leaned his head down and nuzzled his head into the wolf's neck as they danced. "I love you so much Pup" Nasus mumbled while holding the wolf tighter.
Warwick felt a small tap on his shoulder, he lifted his head and turned to see Wolf and Lamb standing behind him. "Hey there, War." Wolf said shorting Warwick's name awkwardly. "Hey" the other wolf responded. "Look, I'm sorry for the way I treated you. I was being a toxic friend and I'm sorry. I hope we can still be buddies." Wolf said confidently. Warwick turned to Nasus, The canine shrugged his shoulders in response. "I forgive you, but please never call me 'War' again." Warwick laughed at the odd nickname. Wolf and Lamb began to laugh a bit also. "So are you two cool?" Nasus asked. Lamb nodded her head. "Even though Wolf's an insensitive knucklehead, he's my partner and I love him" Lamb said sweetly, Wolf smiled at Lamb. "Well what are you waiting for? Come dance with us!" Nasus suggested. The Kindred joined Nasus and Warwick in merriment.
The couple danced well into the evening, enjoying the company of their friends.
