Chapter 2

Jinx looked over the city one last time. She recapped on all of her past memories in the city of Piltover. She smirked remembering all the chaos she created and the enemies she made. Two of which, fat hands and hat lady (Vi and Caitlyn), always kept her on her heals and made the games she played so much more fun. The city did get old after a while though.

"Hey fishbones, is it time to go yet?" she said to her rocket launcher. She began to move the mouth and speak for it. "It's about time to leave. I am so proud of you for making the decision to join the League." She looked at her gun with a threatening face, like she wasn't the one that made it say that. "The only reason I'm going is because this place is turning in snoresville. But still, your destruction will not be affecting the people anymore and that's what matters." Jinx face started to grow annoyed but quickly changed to a smile. "You're completely right. This makes life so much easier for the dear people that live here. Yes! You finally understand. I'm so happy I could cry." The 'guns' voice wavered like it had won the lottery. "In fact, I should leave the people something that would remind them of me while I am gone."

Her smile grew wider as she pulled something out of her pocket. "What is that Jinx? It looks like a detonator. Oh its nothing. Please Jinx, what about what you said? Was all that a lie? You cant do that!" A devilish grin took over her face. "Sorry, but let me tell you a secret. I DON'T CARE! Bye bye!" She pressed the button and as she did buildings all over the city erupted. She had been watching from a tall building at the edge of the city for a reason. Because when the explosions stopped, the exploded buildings spelled out her name.

"Well that was fun." She left out a huge laugh before continuing. "Oh, and if you say another word fishbones, you're heading to the scrap heap. Let's rock."

Riven leisurely made her way to her appointment. While walking, she decided to reflect on earlier events. She remembered herself and Lux leaving the lunchroom. She also remembered that not ten feet later, a familiar blue glow started to surround the mage.

"Damn, I forgot about my match." She looked at Riven with a face that almost made the exile want to cry. "Are we still on for dinner?"

The light around her started to grow brighter. "Of course. We're best friends right?"

The mage smiled. Before she had a chance to say anything else, a bright flash appeared around her. As quickly as it had appeared though, it disappeared. All that was left was a mildly disappointed Riven. She had killed the rest of her time by relaxing on the roof of the nearby building and watching the clouds roll by.

Now that she neared the appointment, something seemed off. She could sense a potent amount of magic in the air. As she neared the door, she heard a female voice which she deducted as Ahri yell something. A few seconds later Ahri burst through the door, making sure to slam it closed. She turned around quickly to face Riven.

"Uh…hi"

"Not right now, exile" the fox woman said flatly. As she left, Riven heard her say to herself, "if he thinks he's won, he has another thing coming."

After not moving from surprise a minute later, she lightly nocked.

"One second" the man said. The door opened on its own as she entered. She took a quick glance around the room before setting her gaze on the man behind the desk.

"How did you open the door?" Almost immediately, He lifted up his hand, which began to glow white with energy. Riven turned around just in time to see the door close behind her. "Oh" she said.

"Where are my manners? My name is Sky and this is my room. Please sit." He motioned to the couch a few feet away.

"Riven" is all she said as she laid down on the couch.

"Well it's truly an honor Riven. I met with Sona earlier and she told me a little about you. All good things I assure you." He smiled.

"Well if you do your job, you should figure those things out for yourself." She meant to create tension with that comment which is why it was weird when he just laughed. She couldn't help but let her guard down a little as a smile grew around her face.

"Well then let's get started shall we?" The exile nodded. "Great. So my goal here isn't to force things out of you or make you some emotionless robot. I am here merely to help you in whatever way is deemed fit. Just think of me as your new BFF. For the time being, we will be meeting every few days once I meet the remaining few champions. That doesn't mean that we can't talk outside scheduled times though. I'm available whenever I am not helping someone else. Also-"

Riven continued to listen to him, but decided to give the man a quick inspection. The first thing she noticed was that he was really young to be working in the position he currently owned. Second was that he was wearing the robes directly made for summoners only. She also noticed his skin tone was dark, which was rarely seen around this area. She had also realized that being in his presence made her feel a little strange. The feeling faded quickly though.

"Well that's pretty much it. Any questions?"

"Actually just a few if you don't mind."

"Go right ahead. I'm all ears."

"Ok well first of all, why are you wearing a summoner robe?"

"Because these purple robes are awesome that's why! Just check this out." He stood up and started to make model poses. The goofy show was pretty entertaining and she was about to compliment him until he tripped on his robe and plummeted into a wall. This act managed to make the exile giggle for a while furthering the bonding process. Then she realized she still had another question. She asked once he managed to get into his seat.

"Well not to be rude Sky, but you seem a little young."

"Oh. Well yeah I'm only 19." Riven's face turned shocked.

"How did you manage to get your degree so quickly?" She said.

"It wasn't easy. But I got an early start and finished my classes early. So tada here I am."

"I am impressed." She decided to act kind to make up for her earlier rudeness.

"There is no reason to be. You just have to be good at reading people and what not. Like how something is bothering you right now." He paused to look at her for a moment. "Also, the fact that your blushing makes me think its involves relationships"

'Crap' she thought. 'He saw right through me.'

"So what's bothering you? My first guess would usually be sex, but I doubt that because you are a virgin. Maybe you-"

"W-Wait what?" Her face grew a shade of red as she practically fell off her seat. "How did you know that?"

"It's actually easy to tell, there are a few tricks to figure it out." He kept calm, like him figuring it out so fast was no big deal. "Please calm down. I didn't mean to scare you."

She obliged and laid back down on the couch. "Sorry for reacting that way."

"No I'm sorry. I forgot that saying things like that can really bother people. Remind me another time to show you how to do that though. It does not take long to learn."

"You said it was easy to tell." She stated. "How easy is it?"

"You can honestly tell just by how someone walks or talks. Like if you knew what I did you could clearly tell I was a virgin." She was surprised that he just outed info like that. She had no obligations to keep it a secret. "I can also tell that your blonde friend I always see you with isn't a virgin."

"Oh" She let the words he said sink in. 'It's fine.' She thought. 'I guess Ahri wasn't joking.' She tried to hold it like she did with everything else. She tried to push it back like she did when she was discriminated against in the noxas military. She did the same when she was murdered all the Ionians whose only goal was to defend their families. The same happened when she was left to die while chemical warfare destroyed friends and foe alike. She did what she always did. She put her sadness in a box and left it there. But for some reason, she couldn't do it anymore. She felt something building inside of her like she was going to burst. But luckily, he could see the pain on her face.

"Oh so it was Lux you liked. Listen, I-"

"Forget about it." She grabbed at a sudden pain in her chest. "I'm ok."

"You don't have to carry the world on your shoulders girl. You would feel-"

"I don't need anyone to tell me how I should feel. Especially someone as young as you." She said bitterly.

"I am only a few years younger than you. Just wait a minute."

Having heard enough, Riven got up to leave. In the process though, she felt something happen. Her body started moving a whole lot slower as if she was walking thought jelly. After the extended time it took for her to turn around, she saw his finger pointed at her and he said the word "Exhaust".

"How did you-"

"Please let me finish."

"Let me go!" She tried to sound threatening, although it didn't work too well.

"So you can get drunk and ruin you're your chances?" She said nothing. "Listen, I get it. I get how frustrated you are right now. But I am begging you to just let me in. All I want to do was help you." He lowered his hand and the spell lost its affect. "Please make the right choice."

After a moment of thinking, her mouth started to move without her allowing it. "When I first came here I was alone." Seconds turned into minutes and before she knew it, she had told him everything. She had told them him that Lux was the first person to talk to her and although she tried to push the mage away, they became friends. She then talked about how her feelings for her grew. After recapping the events of today and talking about her dinner plans she laid there completely silent.

The entire time Sky was thoughtfully taking notes. When she finished he began to speak. "Ok. I am very glad that you shared that with me. My opinion is that you over reacted a little though."

"What?" She seemed surprised.

"Think about it. What if she lost it before you even came to the league? What if she's not in a relationship right now?" She stayed silent. "By what you are saying about how she's always pushing to hang out with you, she might feel the same way you do."

"Do you…really think so?"

"Yes. In fact, I think you can find out tonight weather her feelings are true or not. Here's my advice."

It was getting late at the league. With all the matches finished for today, the champions were free to do as they pleased. One such champion was exercising that freedom by drinking as much as they could at the bar.

"Another one" Ahri said. She monitored to the bartender to hand her another drink.

"Girl, that'll be your seventh this hour."

"I said another drink."

The woman behind the bar spoke again. This time more firmly. "When are you going to fess up and tell me what's bothering you?" The voice belonged to none other than the sea beauty Miss Fortune. Most champions called her Sarah though.

"Alright" the fox girl said. "I got turned down today. Hard."

She heard a voice from her left comment. "Wow Ahri. She must of had put up a strong magical barrier." She slightly turned her head to see Ashe staring directly at her.

"Here's the thing. They used no magic to resist my charm. Also...it was a guy."

They both stared at her in disbelief. Ahri was a temptress and a very good one at that. Most people couldn't bear being in a room when she was expelling her sexual energy without some sort of magical defense. Let alone any guy. Men were all horny fools that would do anything that gave them pleasure. Or so she thought.

"Ahri! Give us the details girl." Sarah said impatiently.

"Ok ok *hic*." The alcohol was finally starting to hit her. "You better listen closely then *hic* because I am ONLY saying this once *hic*."

Sarah and Ashe both nodded their heads in agreement, ready to hear this oh so entertaining story.

…

Riven usually didn't get scared. She was the type of person who faced her troubles head on. Her combat prowess and broken sword had helped her fight off anything that others would call fear. The only problem here was that this problem was different. There was no common enemy to take out. There was nothing to swing her sword at. She was stuck face to face with her fear, and they were eating dinner together.

Lux was almost finished telling her about her match earlier that day. She didn't have the most kills, but her team won without her dying one. "My back always kills me after those longer matches." She said while doing a light stretch.

"It probably doesn't help that you end up using your final spark every 30 seconds. It's too overpowered." Riven shot her a smile and lux started to giggle. 'Dammit she's so cute.'

"Well I guess it could be a little strong." The mage looked directly at Riven who immediately turned her face. "Is something wrong? You have been acting weird all day." The exile merely shook her head. Lux sighed. "I knew this was bound to happen."

Riven faced her. "What do you mean?" The mage had stopped smiling.

"I am truly sorry about what I've been making you do."

Riven was shocked. "What?" was all she could manage.

"I know I've been asking you to hang out with me a lot and I'm sorry. You probably have been feeling obligated to agree to not be rude, but you don't have to do that anymore."

There was silence for a moment before she spoke some more.

"You know, I never wanted to be a soldier. I always hated fighting. Sadly I didn't have a choice. The moment those Demician hound dogs sniff out any talent, you're shipped off into the military. I was so alone for so long. Then you came. You were so strong and fearless and I envied that. I knew from the day I met you I wanted to be friends. Dammit I'm doing it again. I am putting guilt on you no reason. I…should go."

Riven was so surprised she could hardly speak. "Lux please wait."

"You don't have to pity me anymore." She got up to leave. As she turned though, a hand had grasped her wrist. She turned to see the exile gripping it firmly.

"Come with me." Was all the exile said as she led her out the side exit. They ended up in an alleyway. Riven didn't waste any time talking.

"Lux lets clear up something. I am NOT hanging around you because I feel bad for you. I am around you because I like being around you. You are so great to hang out with. Your smile lights up the room and your attitude is so positive. You're also so nice to everyone even when it's hard to be. So how could I not want to be around you?"

Lux looked shocked that someone thought of her that way. "You really mean that?"

Riven gave her a smile. It was her confident smile that Lux truly envied. "Of course. Were best friends right?"

There was another silence. Riven felt a lump in her throat as Sky's words echoed through her head. 'When you feel like the time is right, give her a quick kiss on the cheek. After you do, pull away quickly and bite your lip. If she doesn't take it well you can play it off as nothing more than a friendly gesture. If it works though…'

"If it works though…" She whispered to herself.

"I'm sorry, what?" Before she could say anything else, Riven quickly pecked her on the check and gave her a quick seductive stare before shifting her gaze to the wall.

'Well there goes my friendship. What even possessed me to do that?' She managed to pry her eyes away from the wall to look back at Lux. The mage had not moved an inch. The only difference was that her checks were a bright red. Riven tried to opened her mouth to apologize, but her lips refused to move. It took her a moment to realize that it was because the mage had locked them together in a kiss. When Lux pulled away, Riven leaned in to take another.

After a while, they parted lips exhausted from their previous engagement. They shared a glance in between breaths and both busted out laughing. Riven was the first to speak.

"Whose room?"

"Mine is closer."

They both could be seen leaving the alleyway a minute later, hand in hand, ready to quench their desires in the near future.

Wow, this chapter was much longer then the first one. Tell me if you want the future sections shorter than this or not. Also, sorry this wasn't out by the weekend. Things got busy and I had little time to work on this. I was planning to and the lemon this chapter, but I felt that would have been a little too much. So expect some lemony goodness next time. Either way I appreciate the favorites and comments. Hope you stick around :)
