A week ago I read some nice reviews coming from you. I know that your opinion about rewriting Best Enemy is almost 50:50, but I decided to do it anyway, but in a far future. Right now I have too many ideas for continuation and new fanfics to do it. Also there was one very good critique (thank you Shadou Wolfie) which made me realise a lot of things. I indeed noticed that Nasus's confidence diminished throughout all my stories, but it was kind of planned. I wanted to make Nasus a confident person, but inexperienced in love, which made him lose some of it. He'll recover, don't worry. And I know that my works are "dark" sometimes, but it's just the way I like to write. We all know that after the rain, the rainbow comes out :) I don't think there will be any life threatening situation anymore, but I do intend to test their feelings once more. I don't know when, but it will happen. Now, enjoy :)

Chapter VI

Nasus was feeling like the happiest person alive. He managed to become a couple with the one he wanted for so long, Warwick. Many fights fought in his mind, yet none has been won. Nasus wasn't sure if it was a good thing to do, but their kiss assured him. That's what he desired from the very beginning. They looked into each other's eyes, still close after their moment. They were silent, but there was no need for words. One look from their eyes was enough to make them both understand that was what they wanted. Warwick wrapped Nasus and placed his head on his chest, enjoying the warmth of his beating heart. Nasus followed him and laid his own head on Warwick's. They wanted to stay like that, preferably forever, but they eventually had to stop. But not now, that is their moment. After a while they sat down at the table. Warwick was the one to break the silence.

"Good thing that you're slightly taller than me, I like that position.", Warwick spoke. It was hard to admit, but Nasus's company, his intimacy was something that could actually make him feel safe. Warwick felt like he could forget about his every problem near Nasus.

"I can't disagree with you, I liked that myself.", Nasus replied. His "lost" confidence has started to return to Nasus. He was in despair for much too long. "So, as your partner, I invite you to a date.", Nasus added. Warwick just smiled.

"Already? Well then…who am I to reject such a request? Said by the most handsome man I have ever seen on top of that.", Warwick replied. Nasus stood up and leaned forward to place a kiss on Warwick's cheek, but he redirected his muzzle with a hand, making them kiss. Nasus then straightened up, and after a cough, he asked him formally.

"Today's weather is perfect for a walk, would you like to keep me company in this snowy evening?". Warwick was truly amazed by his refinement, but what else would you expect from a person that have read more books than a regular person has ever seen? Warwick stood up, gave him his hand, and replied.

"But of course! But…there's one problem actually…". Nasus was perplexed for a moment, but then he realised that even though Warwick's fur could protect him quite good, a longer walk wouldn't be enjoyable at all.

"Oh right, I totally forgot about it!", Nasus scolded himself. He was slightly embarrassed, but he forced a smile to hide it. His goofy expression made Warwick giggle.

"You're so cute when you're trying to look serious.", he spoke and touched Nasus's arm. Nasus chuckled and petted Warwick's head. But then Nasus thought of something. He went for a measure to check the height and diameter of Warwick's container. "What are you trying to achieve?", Warwick asked him, puzzled by his actions.

"Just wait, it'll take 20 minutes or less.", Nasus replied, not really explaining anything. When he was done, he ordered Warwick to stay in the living room and not to peek. Nasus then left him and entered his room. Warwick decided to follow his instruction and waited. After some time, Nasus left.

"Voila! Do you like it?", Nasus asked Warwick and showed him what he created. It was one of Nasus's topcoats, but "slightly" changed. There was a hole on the back, precisely sewn up on the edges. It wasn't an amateur work, it looked quite good. Warwick was just standing there in astonishment. With hesitation he took it from Nasus's hands and tried it on. It was perfect. And also he looked very good in it. The black fabric looked gorgeous on his thick, gray fur. Instead of a verbal response, Warwick jumped at Nasus and hanged himself on his neck, smiling and laughing out of joy.

"It's the best! Thank you!", Warwick replied, moved by the gift. Warwick didn't really care about his appearance, because he didn't have anyone to care about and to be cared by. But now when he obtained it, he felt an indescribable feeling inside. Good thing that Nasus is strong, because otherwise he would fall down with Warwick, but when he thought about that possibility, it wasn't that bad either.

"I'm so glad that you like it. Now nothing stands in our way to go, am I right?", Nasus asked, trying to calm Warwick down, who still was ecstatic.

"Sure! I want to test it!", Warwick replied briefly. He always was the type of person that tried to stifle his emotions, but then he felt like a little kid that has been gifted a new toy. Without lingering much longer, Nasus wore his beige trench coat and they both left. Nasus forgot to let Renekton know that he could come back, but he had something more important to take care of, he would understand. As they were walking through the halls, they noticed that many champions were decorating them. Christmas was getting closer and closer, it was just the time to do it. Before they left, they were just talking. No holding hands or kisses, so they looked just like two good friends. Two good looking friends. When they actually left the building, the cold air has entered their lungs as they inhaled. It was chilling, but also refreshing.

"It's beautiful…", Nasus spoke when he noticed that the paths were already decorated. Ahri, Lux and couple more female champions were the ones to take care of the outside. Colorful lights combined with decor made that place look almost magical.

"I actually have never left the building at that time of the year before. I've lost so much…", Warwick spoke as he was absorbing the view with his sparkling eyes. He was charmed by this sight. Nasus's tap on the shoulder successfully returned Warwick to the Earth.

"Hey, don't space out.", Nasus laughed quietly and smiled. He was happy that Warwick was enjoying so many little things.

"Hehe, sorry. Full attention to you.", Warwick replied. They were walking alongside each other very slowly, mostly talking about what would happen next in their relationship. They were almost alone there, only some occasional champions on the walk and Annie in a snow fight with Amumu, Lulu and Veigar. They weren't really looking where they were going though. All they cared about was to be together. As they were passing beautiful tree formations, they heard a quiet snort and giggling. They stopped and looked around, just to see Ahri and Zyra go out from their hideout behind trees.

"Hello ladies.", Nasus spoke to them.

"Hello.", Warwick bowed his head slightly.

"Hi boys. How do you like our work?", Ahri greeted and asked them, expecting some compliments.

"It's beautiful, walking through the park is the most enjoyable thing to do now.", Nasus replied, satisfying Ahri's hunger for attention.

"Yeah, quite mesmerising I would say. Makes you lose count of time.", Warwick added. Ahri blushed and covered her mouth theatrically.

"Oh stop, I know.", Ahri replied. The all chuckled.

"Not only makes you lose count of time but also of your surrounding it seems.", Zyra added, raising her brows. They both looked at each other, trying to figure out what she meant. Ahri decided to help them.

"Oh yeah. Like, they totally did not notice that mistletoe above their heads.", she spoke, making it now clear what Zyra meant. Both Nasus and Warwick quickly looked up, just to notice a twig of mistletoe, hanging from the tree on a red thread above them. Warwick raised his brows and smiled nervously, and Nasus just laughed slightly.

"Whoops, clearly overlooked mistletoe here.", Nasus commented with a smile.

"Yep, but your kiss will not be overlooked, do not worry.", Ahri said, hiding a grin behind her hand. Their eyes widened.

"Excuse us?", Warwick spoke, slightly confused.

"You just landed under the mistletoe my dear, I believe you know what should happen next.", Zyra added. The girls crossed their arms, awaiting. They looked as if they were gravely serious about it. Nasus and Warwick looked at each other once again, actually considering it, but not letting it show. Then Nasus sent a sign to Warwick, and he accepted it. Then Ahri and Zyra started laughing.

"Oh dear! You should have seen your faces! Haha!", Ahri spoke through her laughter, covering her belly and tearing slightly from joy. Zyra was doing the same, but then she opened her mouth in shock. She gently poked Ahri with an elbow, making her look up. Then she joined Zyra. They both just witnessed their kiss. They had their hands resting on each other's muzzles, eyes closed, and the moment lasting. After a short moment, they looked at girls. Their expressions were priceless.

"Hey, you almost overlooked.", Nasus spoke, trying to make them stop gaping.

"That…was beautiful…", Ahri spoke quietly, truly charmed by them. Zyra felt the same, she was speechless.

"Oh well, it was nothing, just a kiss.", Warwick replied and scratched his head.

"A very passionate one.", Zyra managed to say. "Why only boys are able to look like that while kissing…", she added with a long sigh.

"Don't worry, there are lots of straight couples that would look better than us.", Nasus said. He wasn't expecting that kind of coming out, but had to admit, it was beautiful.

"Well, sadly nowhere around here. Pantheon and Leona rarely do it in public, Zed and Syndra never do it in public, and Xayah and Rakan…well…you can't call it kissing.", Zyra spoke, almost lamenting.

"So is it like secret, or…", Ahri started, making sure no one's around to eavesdrop.

"I…guess not. If you "accidentally" tell it someone, we wouldn't be mad.", Nasus replied, being almost sure that till the next day everyone will be aware of their relationship.

"Yeah, I'm content with it.", Warwick added.

"Alrighty then. Well be going now. Ciao.", Ahri replied almost singing and then she left with Zyra. "Oh and by the way, you look lovely Warwick!", "Nasus, make sure he looks like that every day!", the girls shouted as they were getting further. Warwick felt a blush on his face. Nasus hugged him from behind.

"Should we be going?", Nasus asked Warwick. He nodded.

"Yeah, it's slightly cold. I want hot chocolate with marshmallows.", Warwick said. His demands made Nasus laugh.

"Okay, I would not expect you to ever say that!", he said and continued laughing.

"There's plenty more things you have yet to know. But now let's go to my room. I have everything necessary.", Warwick replied. Nasus then released him and decided to actually grab his hand. Warwick looked at him asking.

"If you want we can return without holding hands.", Nasus spoke. Warwick shook his head.

"Actually, I was surprised that you did it. I thought that you were against it this whole time.", Warwick explained.

"I was, but right now I just changed my mind.", Nasus clarified. Warwick smiled, his words were warming him, despite the cold temperature.

"Let's go then. I wanna see their reactions when they see us.", Warwick spoke with a grin. Nasus laughed when he heard that.

"Sure, let's go.", Nasus said. On the way back, still in the park, they met some champions, but to their surprise, none of them has made an improper remark about them. Furthermore, some of them even called them beautiful and even, to their surprise, stately. It seems their coats made them look rather noble. Inside the building almost nobody saw them, but they noticed some curious looks. Positive looks, to their further surprise. When they finally reached Warwick's home, they realised that no one insulted them even once, what was unexpected.

"Let my help you.", Nasus said and then helped Warwick take of his topcoat. He would let him take it off himself, but with this tank on his back it would be difficult. Warwick thanked him with a kiss on a cheek and then he went to the kitchen. He started preparing desired hot chocolate.

"Find a nice movie while I'm making some treats for us, okay?", Warwick said to Nasus.

"Sure. Action? Comedy?", Nasus asked, already holding a remote. Warwick turned to him and with a smile, he said.

"Horror.". Nasus gulped slightly.

"Well…I…", he attempted to say something, but then Warwick spoke.

"Wait, don't tell me that you're afraid.". He laughed slightly, making Nasus frown.

"No, I just…would like to watch something else…", Nasus spoke, avoiding Warwick's eyes and he crossed his arms. His miserable attempt to convince Warwick didn't work.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you.", he mocked Nasus. He just stuck a tongue out at Warwick. Warwick chuckled and returned to preparing sweets. Nasus in the meantime found a movie claimed to be extremely good and scary. When Warwick was done, he threw two marshmallows to each cup with hot chocolate and placed them in front of the couch on a coffee table. Then he returned for more marshmallows in a bowl and placed them beside. Then he turned off the lights and covered them with a blanket.

"Are you ready?", Warwick asked him.

"For you, anytime.", Nasus tried to sound sweet, but his clear reluctance failed it. Warwick just giggled and turned on the movie. While watching, Nasus spent most of the time covered from head to toes with a blanket and hugging Warwick, who was bravely protecting his beloved.

"I didn't know the plot can be so well-thought in a horror.", Warwick admitted. Now he knew why it was considered so good. Nasus was still slightly trembling and it didn't go unnoticed. "Hey, are you okay?", Warwick asked him, genuinely worried.

"Well…I don't like watching horrors for a reason…I have so vivid imagination, it's hard for me to go to sleep then…and I'm seriously terrified.", Nasus admitted. Warwick felt bad, he didn't know that Nasus had such a hard time after watching scary movie. But then he thought about something.

"So…maybe you want to…sleep with me?", Warwick suggested. He felt a small blush on his face. Nasus was surprised by his offer. He didn't know whether he should accept it or not, but he knew he wouldn't sleep peacefully that night.

"I…actually would love to…", Nasus spoke quietly. Nasus thought that it was quite fast, even though it was just sleeping together, but he was too scared to sleep alone in his bed. Renekton would make fun of him again.

"I think we're forced to sleep like a spoon, or at least I have to be facing you.", Warwick spoke. Nasus just realised how hard it must be for Warwick to sleep with this huge piece of trouble behind him.

"Okay then, it'll work out.", Nasus said. Warwick started folding out the couch and setting up their bedding. Then he stripped to his black boxers. He noticed that Nasus was just standing there, slightly red on his face.

"Oh, should I sleep in trousers?", Warwick asked.

"N-no, it's alright…", Nasus spoke.

"Strip then, what are you waiting for?", Warwick asked him. Nasus looked somewhere and started stammering.

"W-well…I…". Warwick was only assuming what might be stopping Nasus from taking off his clothes. He mentally chuckled because of how innocent Nasus was.

"I'll close my eyes and when you're done, lie down, facing the other way.", Warwick spoke with a warm smile. When Nasus realised that Warwick knew what was wrong, his face was almost crimson red from shame. "Hey, it happens. I'm not mad, I'm actually happy that you find me attractive.", Warwick spoke jokingly, trying to calm Nasus. He kind of nailed it. As he promised, he covered his eyes. After a moment, Nasus was lying down under the quilt on a side. Warwick then turned off the lights and joined Nasus. He lay down behind him and he wrapped him with his arms. One of them served Nasus as a pillow and with the second Warwick was hugging him. It was very comfortable, yet slightly embarrassing. They both had some difficulties closing their eyes and actually trying to go to sleep.

"Do you…", Warwick broke a slightly awkward silence. "What do you think…of us?", he asked. Nasus turned his head slightly.

"What do you mean?", Nasus spoke in confusion.

"Like…do you think it will work out? Or maybe we are destined to end up alone?", Warwick spoke, he sounded distraught. Nasus then turned fully to Warwick, facing him.

"Warwick…even if it will not work out well, I promise you, I will delay it for as long as I can, because right now I feel like I'm in the best part of my life.", Nasus confessed. Warwick was just staring at him with his mouth slightly opened. He felt like crying, but out of happiness. He closed his eyes to prevent any tear from showing and he hugged Nasus very tightly. Nasus hugged him back, satisfied by the result. When Warwick released him, they actually felt sleepy. They returned to their previous position, and after a moment, they both fell asleep, enjoying the memories of their first day as a couple.

I wanted to make Nasus and Warwick somewhat different from Rengar and Kha'Zix. Their relationship ended up modern-ish, quick change of emotions, strong, but sometimes unstable bond. I wanted to make Warwick and Nasus more traditional. Love will play the first fiddle here, which means you'll have to wait for any lemon a little longer :) Anyway, see you next Sunday :D

PS: If you have any remarks about my work and want to share it, don't be scared and just ask. I check reviews every 2 days, so your comment won't get lost. I'll try to consider it, and if possible, change my ways of working if I agree with you or explain why I did something that way and not the other.
