Chapter 4

"Mmmpph…. I-It's so warm…Warm….Hm….. WAIT WHAT?!" Ahri mumbled for a second and suddenly sat up, upright and back straight. She looked around wildly and saw that she was covered in a thick soft blanket. She knew she fell in the hole that probably would have killed her. She felt someone moving beside her. Lifting the blankets up, she found the blue haired maiden deep in her sleep, curled up like a cat. She held a certain smile on her face, that was serene and yet so cute.

"Hmph. I presume you saved me from that. And yet you're sleeping so… Adorably…" Ahri muttered to herself as she leaned closer to Sona, placing a soft kiss on her cheek. All she could hope was that she hadn't said anything stupid right before she fell asleep. All she remembered was that she fell into the water and that was just about it. Ahri's clothes were still wet, so she decided that she change what she was wearing. She scampered off into the corridors in search of clothes. Sona started to wake up from her slumber as soon as Ahri disappeared.

Woah…. Where did she go…? Sona thought worriedly. She could still remember what Ahri had said to her. She felt her heart beating faster as she thought of that, and her face brightened.

No…. It can't be right… Can it? Ugh, no wonder Zilean said love is a difficult thing. Sona muttered miserably. She couldn't simply solve this particular dissonance, although her famous quote was, "Shall we resolve this dissonance?" To say that seemed ironic here. She heard footsteps and quickly faced the direction it was coming from.

"Sona~! Do you need a bunch of spare clothes~?" Ahri asked her with a smile on her face. She had changed her clothes from before, this time in an outfit sparkling like crazy. Sona nodded enthusiastically. She really did need some clothes.

"Well then, I've brought something that would fit you nicely. Hehe…" Ahri replied with a little giggle. Sona wasn't so sure of it now. She saw that what Ahri had given her was a short skirt with a white silken shirt that Ahri usually wore. Basically she was about to wear what Ahri wore.

Are you sure I can wear these…? I mean… Aren't they a little too exposed…? Sona asked cautiously, careful not to insult the fox. Ahri made a face at her.

"You modest creature. You need to learn to wear these thing too you know! Now go into that room and quickly get dressed. I promise I won't peek or anything. Come on!" Ahri quickly pushed her into a room that was lighted elegantly and shut the door close. Sona floated in the middle of the room in her still wet and cold blue clothing. She sighed as she shed her dress and quickly grabbed at the skirt and everything. It was a tight fit, but she managed it. Her neck and shoulders were exposed, her legs as well. How Ahri managed to live in this, she had no clue. But still, it was comfortable and warm.

I… I think I'm all dressed up… Sona voiced out loud enough for Ahri to hear. The door slid open immediately, Sona's etwahl rushing in the door first, and then Ahri managing to get in and see Sona's new outrageous clothes. Ahri had to laugh.

"Oh my gosh, Sona… You look…. So cute!" Ahri rushed at the musician, taking her in a bear hug as the etwahl drifted away to make way.

Ahri…. You're ch-choking me…. Sona groaned. Was it possible to "mind-groan"? Oh well. So anyways, Ahri's tails managed its way to wrap around Sona tightly. Sona felt a sense of ease and a rather unusual feeling of being… Attracted to this particular champion. Maybe it was time to ask her something.

Um… Ahri... I was meaning to ask you this earlier… Sona murmured as she tried to maintain her posture with the still tightly hugging Ahri. Sona's etwahl was playing a song that gave her courage. Even her own musical instrument was rooting for her. Wow.

"What is it?" Ahri broke away from Sona and looked at her with her golden eyes. She was also smiling happily, just happy to see Sona.

Do you… By any chance… L-Like me? Sona stammered even through telepathy. Ahri did her best not to flinch. Ahri figured she had done something stupid during her stupor before, but not something this stupid.

"Oh... I-I was meaning to tell you about that… But I uhh…" Ahri couldn't find the words to continue. Sona sighed a little.

Ahri… It's okay. I don't just like you, I love you. Since we met, I don't know what happened to me. At first I thought it was your Charm, but it wasn't in the end. And plus, you did tell me that you loved me too. Sona stated that so calmly, and Ahri could now confess properly.

"Ahahahaha… About that…. Sona, what I said then was all true, and really, I do love you too. I never felt such an emotion strike me so badly, but there has been no one else like you, and you alone were the only one who could make me this way. So Sona… Would you still be my lover and live out happily in this place?" Ahri asked her, her voice quivering a little. Sona's blue eyes glimmered.

I thought you'd never propose that way. Haha. Of course I'll go literally anywhere with you. What did you think? Sona's voice came through clearly. Ahri stood tall in front of Sona. She made sure to look at her straight into the eyes.

"Y'know…. I've always wanted to do this properly." Ahri muttered, and with that, she leaned in on Sona and placed her lips on top of Sona's. Their lips fit perfectly, and Ahri could feel the warmth of Sona's full lips and the warmth of her body too. Sona felt complete in this moment, and the two locked lips for what seemed like an eternity. Breaking the kiss apart, Ahri could still feel the lingering of Sona's lips that tasted sweet, and she knew this was the champion she was live with. The two stayed that way for a while, standing there with their eyes staring at each other like children in love.

I love you so much, Ahri. Sona managed to say, and Ahri nodded. Sona clung to Ahri, embracing her for the moment. Words weren't enough to describe what she was feeling. The midday sun shone brightly that day, and it was a day when love had finally begun to bloom.
