To Iisnonoob: Don't worry friend, this story isn't dead. I had to work for school, develop some ideas for the plot of this story and so on. I'm sorry if I took so long, but I'll have two weeks of vacation soon so I'll try to update quicker. Thanks for still keeping up with the story though, I hope you enjoy this chapter!
Then out of nowhere a divine smell of fresh baked goods steamed from Pantheon's tent. We followed the sweet smells that lead us to cupcakes, chocolate muffins and bread. The others followed shortly; the divine aroma even dragged Thresh and Vel'Koz out of their deep thoughts. I was about to grab one of the cupcakes when Pantheon noticed us grouping around the fresh goods.
"Hey, those are my muffins!"
"Pantheon, you never told us you were a baker!"
"I'm not, I just enjoy it."
"Can we please eat some of these amazing muffins and cupcakes?"
"Go ahead, just leave some for me!"
We immediately dug in, sampling the cupcakes first to find that their taste was even better than their smell.
"Oh my god, these are the best cupcakes I had ever eaten!"
Lux had tears of joy in her eyes as she ate the delicious cupcakes, even Thresh and Vel'Koz were completely mesmerised by the amazing taste. Katarina quickly put some of the goods in a bag she picked up from the ground, trying to grab as many as she could.
"You're going to share some of those goods you just took later ok?"
"Damn it Liam, I wanted them for myself!"
"Just be sure to hide the bag somewhere safe, I don't want it to get stolen by the others."
"Sure, I'll take care of it."
We ignored Pantheon's wish and ate almost everything, until only one cupcake remained. I reached for it, but Katarina slapped my hand away.
"Mine!"
Thresh withdrew his scythe and slashed at Katarina's arm, leaving her with an ugly wound.
"You're going to pay for that!"
"Hah, like I'm afraid of you!"
She tackled him, stabbing him through the chest but he threw her off and charged towards her. Lux and Vel'Koz also got in a disagreement and blasted themselves with magic. While the others were fighting, I reached for the cupcake only for Riven to kick me away. I picked up my blade and attacked her as our blades met. Then I realized we were fighting just for a simple cupcake and attempted to stop it.
"Hey why are we fighting over one little cupcake?"
She ignored me, kicking me straight into Katarina who was so full of rage that she began attacking me, forgetting that we're in fact lovebirds. She slashed at my face, leaving behind a large cut similar to hers. That's when I realized that my armor wasn't working right, the attack should've never happened.
"What the hell, isn't this thing supposed to protect me from the soulbounds!?"
I wasn't going to let her win the fight so I launched my mini scythe at her as it grabbed her by her armor. Instead of pulling it out though, she pulled herself towards me tackling me on the ground and pointing her dagger at my face.
"That cupcake is mine Liam!"
"Wait, I have a proposal."
She gave me a confused look, the dagger still pointed at my throat.
"What are you talking about!?"
"How about we work together as a team and we each get half of the cupcake?"
"Alright, now get this scythe out of my armor!"
We sneaked by to the table while the others were busy fighting each other when she reached for the final cupcake and the same instant she got it she ate all of it.
"Hey we had a deal!"
"I planned to do this all along!"
The others immediately stopped with the fighting as soon as they noticed Katarina eating the final cupcake.
"Well Kat, we better run fast!"
They started to chase after us as we hid in the nearby forest without them noticing. She began laughing loudly; it was like she enjoyed all of this.
"I haven't had so much fun in a while!"
"But you left me with a huge ass wound over my eye!"
"Now we both have scars over our eyes, isn't that great?"
"This isn't funny Kat!"
"Yeah I know; I'm sorry!"
"What were you thinking?"
"I got lost in the fight and forgot who I was even attacking."
I was about to scold her even more for what she's done but then I noticed that her right hand had a hole and was bleeding very, very fast.
"Oh my god, what's wrong with your hand!?"
"Wha…, oh shit damn you Thresh!"
"Why the hell didn't you tell me sooner!?"
"I forgot that I was bleeding!"
"How can you forget that you're bleeding?"
"I don't know!"
I immediately swept her off her feet and held her in my arms. She resisted me, not wanting to be carried all the way like a weakling.
"No Liam, let me walk!"
"Don't resist me Kat; this is for your own good!"
She gave in and snuggled onto my chest as I carried her back to the camp, taking her to our tent.
"What I am about to do next is going to hurt!"
"Alright, I'm ready!"
I began stitching her wound as she groaned in pain. I tried to be as gentle and quick as possible for I didn't want to see her in pain.
"Breathe Kat it'll be over in just a second!"
I finally sealed her wound as she let out a relieved sigh, being glad that it was over.
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah I'm fine, thanks."
"Good to hear that!"
From what seemed as nowhere, Thresh emerged at the entrance of our tent still furious about that little cupcake.
"There she is I'll strangle you with your own guts!"
She immediately jumped on her feet with her daggers drawn. I stood in between Thresh and Katarina, trying to stop the fight.
"Bring it then!"
"Hey it's just a cupcake; you don't have to kill each other just because she ate it!"
He huffed and pushed me out of the way, his rage boiling.
"You will pay for eating that cupcake!"
He slashed at her with his scythe and she had nowhere to dodge but lucky for her I grabbed Thresh's scythe and pulled him on the ground.
"You better stop attacking her or you'll regret it!"
He simply ignored my warning and threw his scythe forward while lying on the ground and pulled her closer, causing her to collapse on the ground. He began crawling towards her as she backed away in fear; her daggers were far out of reach too. Vel'Koz came by, noticing that there was something amiss and grabbed Thresh with one of his tentacles, pulling him out of the tent.
"Chill down spectre, save your anger for the upcoming fight!"
I, Thresh and Katarina stared at him weirdly and said the same words in unison.
"What fight?"
"I saw a group of Demacians marching towards us, they did not seem happy at all."
"Why are they even here?"
"Sadly, I do not know."
"I'll go talk to them, I'm sure we can work things out!"
As soon as I heard the word Demacia it made me cringe, I really didn't have the time to deal with them too.
"Ugh, I hope I don't see that asshole Garen again!"
Liam stared at me immediately after hearing the name Garen.
"Wait, how do you know him?"
"He's my greatest rival and I hate him the most of all Demacians, not to mention he also tried to hit on me many times."
I could see worry in his eyes, he must've thought that we were actually dating!
"Of course I denied him every time, he always ended up getting stabbed."
He smiled, knowing that Garen was no threat to our relationship.
"Whew, I thought you two actually had something!"
"Are you crazy, with him!?"
"Hey, you never know!"
We gathered outside the campground to await the arrival of the Demacian army so that Liam could explain what was going on. When the army arrived before us, Garen emerged out of the crowd furiously taunting Liam.
"Liam you traitor, I will make you pay!"
"Wait Garen, this isn't what you think it is!"
He ignored Liam and charged towards him as we prepared for battle but stopped after noticing me.
"Well, hello there baby!"
"Oh dear god, so it begins!"
"Listen Garen, Lux isn't our captive!"
She emerged from our group, running towards her big brother and hugging him.
"Hi big brother, it's true I'm not their captive!"
"Then why did you leave the safety of Demacia!?"
"I hate being stuck in that citadel for my whole life; I wanted to go on an adventure with Liam and Thresh!"
"You are in huge trouble missy; I was so worried about you!"
"I'm sorry big brother!"
He turned to face Liam, he owed him an apology.
"I'm sorry for thinking that you would ever hurt my little sis, thank you for taking care of her friend!"
"Apology accepted Garen; I will always protect her with my life!"
Another person emerged from the army, it was Lucian!
"Thresh you merciless monster, the time has come to finally put a stop to your killing spree!"
Thresh readied his scythe as Lucian withdrew his guns but Liam stepped in between, trying to prevent the fight.
"Hold on, why are you two even rivals!?"
Lucian turned to face him with a serious look on his face.
"Because he killed my wife and stole her soul!"
In a sudden motion he turned to Thresh with anger.
"Thresh release his wife this instant!"
"Yeah right, I'm never going to do that!"
"Grab him Vel'Koz I'll force you to free her Thresh!"
Vel'Koz squeezed Thresh tightly as Liam approached him.
"Neve… Alright fine, I'll free her!"
As Vel'Koz released him he brought Senna's soul out of his lantern as she began descending up into the sky, waving Lucian one final goodbye as he cried tears of happiness at the look of his wife.
"We will be together one day!"
He turned to Liam and thanked him for what he has done.
"I have no words to describe how thankful I am, it would be my pleasure if I could join you on your journey!"
"Of course, welcome!"
Thresh huffed in anger and walked away as I couldn't help to think about Liam's great deeds.
"He has such a big heart, always so caring for others!"
My thoughts were interrupted by Garen who tried hitting on me again.
"I haven't seen you in a while gorgeous, are you sure you still don't want to go on a date with me?"
"He's so annoying! Wait, now that I have Liam I can kiss him in front of that asshole and he'll shut up forever!"
"Liam, come here!"
He came to me with the rest of the group by his side, happily asking me what was up.
"You called?"
"What you did back there was just so sweet; I think you deserve a reward for that!"
I pulled him in for a passionate kiss as Garen's jaw dropped.
"The look on his face is just too perfect; he'll finally leave me alone!"
We never got to finish the kiss because Garen pushed me away in anger, he seemed to be jealous.
"Hands off my woman Liam, I know you're my friend and all but hands off!"
Before I could respond Katarina in all her fury punched Garen in the face and yelled at him.
"Listen to me you dumb Demacian shit, Liam is my boyfriend and if you do something like that to him again I swear I'll shove my dagger up your asshole!"
"Stay out of this darling, Liam I challenge you to a fight! No weapons, just fists and if I win Katarina is mine!"
She couldn't believe Garen's attitude and tried to prevent the fight.
"You do realize that even if he loses I'm still going to be his right? This fight is total nonsense Liam; you don't have to fight him!"
"No Kat it's alright, I'll take you on my friend!"
Jarvan came by and saw Garen throwing off his armor but when he saw Katarina he knew exactly what was going on.
"Oh dear god not this bullshit again Garen, wasn't it enough that you already fought Talon because you thought he was trying to steal her from you?"
"Stay out of this Jarvan; this is between me and Liam!"
"I'm sorry Liam he's always like that when it comes to Katarina; I never thought he would think his good friend is actually trying to steal her from him."
"But I actually am together with Katarina, that's why he wants to fight me anyways."
"Wait, what? Are you telling me that…
Katarina was quick to respond even before Jarvan could complete his sentence.
"Yep, it's true that I love Liam and this piece of shit here can't deal with it like a grown man!"
"Wow, I never thought you would fall for a Demacian though."
"I know but he's just too perfect, I don't even care if he's Demacian!"
"Congratulations Liam, even though she's our enemy!"
"Thanks, now are we going to start the fight or not?"
I raised my fists, ready to begin the fight when Katarina lightly pushed me aside, withdrawing her daggers.
"I'm going to fight him Liam; it's time to teach this son of a bitch not to mess with my boyfriend!"
"But babe, I don't want to hurt you!"
She didn't even hesitate to shunpo behind Garen's back, kicking him in the face and making him fall to the ground.
"Very well then, I see you want it rough eh?"
Those words made her grow even more furious and immediately after Garen got up she assaulted him mercilessly, hitting his face with the bottom part of her daggers and knocking out a few of his teeth as well. Seeing that he wasn't even fighting back she decided to do something that would hopefully rid her of Garen forever.
"You know what I'm tired of fighting it, pull your pants down!"
"Oh yes baby, that's what I'm talking about!"
Liam looked at me with a sad and angry look, he felt betrayed. I shook my head and made a no motion with my lips, reassuring him that it was all a plan of mine. The moment Garen pulled down his pants to only his underwear a kneeled down as he smiled.
"Are you ready?"
"Of course gorgeous, go for it!"
I grabbed two of the largest, roughest rocks I could find and squashed his balls in between them, making him scream in unimaginable pain. He fell to the ground and cried like a little bitch as all of our friends and the Demacian soldiers to witness this burst out in insane laughter.
"Now if you ever, EVER try to hit on me or try to fight my boyfriend again I will SLICE them off, understood!"
"Y…yes…sir!"
"You'll never be a real man like Liam if you cry like the little pussy you are, at least he would've fought back against me if I tried something like that!"
I sheathed my daggers and slowly walked away, going back to Liam.
"That will teach him to never mess with us again!"
"Don't you think you might've been a little too rough?"
"Nah, the guy deserved it!"
After finishing my talk with Katarina, Jarvan approached me, wondering how I managed to gather such an odd group.
"So anyways, how are you my friend?"
"I'm fine Jarvan, thanks for asking and you?"
"Why are you travelling with a psychopath, a Noxian assassin, a monster, a Rakkor, an exile, Lux and now the purifier?"
"Well it's a long story."
"Where are you headed anyways?"
"We're headed Piltover so that we can sail to Bilgewater from there."
"We have a few carriages so we can take you back to Demacia and then you can sail to Piltover from there, but we cannot sail you directly to Bilgewater."
"Alright, we'll come with you."
"Good, one carriage can carry up to four people. Who is coming with me?"
"I and Katarina will come with you, anybody else want to join us?"
Thresh raised his scythe, wanting to tag along with us.
"I'll go with you!"
"Very well, but what about the others?"
After picking himself up in shame, Garen offered us two more carriages, but someone would have to share it with him and Lux.
"We have two more carriages; I and Lux will take one so who wants to come with us?"
Riven and Lucian went with Garen and Lux as Pantheon was stuck with Vel'Koz.
"Pardon me, but how will I fit inside a small carriage?"
"Well crap, I didn't think about that!
"We'll improvise."
"Very well then, let us go!"
We packed all of our stuff and boarded the carriages. I sat next to Katarina, wrapping my arm around her as she leaned her head on my shoulder and fell asleep. Jarvan and Thresh on the other hand sat completely still, trying to stay away from each other as far as possible. Jarvan began a conversation, asking me how I met with Katarina.
"So Liam, how did you end up in falling in love with a Noxian assassin?"
"I met her in the Noxian outskirts where I tricked her into believing that I was a Noxian guard and then I betrayed her and bound her to my soul. At first we hated each other a lot, but when I saved her life things changed between us. We slowly fell in love after that and now here we are, together."
"About those other weird companions of yours, why are you even travelling with them?"
Thresh immediately dropped his lantern on the ground in anger when hearing the word weird, waking up Katarina and startling all of us.
"Hey I am most definitely not weird!"
"What the hell is your problem Thresh!?"
Katarina reassured me to leave him alone for he is angry only because of Lucian.
"Leave him be Liam, he's still mad about you letting Lucian join us, he'll get over it."
"No I will not get over it whore!"
"Watch your mouth around her, spectre!"
"FUCK YOU!"
"Take it back or ELSE!"
Katarina was annoyed by our little argument; she was just trying to get some sleep.
"I've had enough of both of you!"
She picked up her dagger and stabbed Thresh through his head as he dropped to the seat in silence then slapped me hard across the face for being so loud before she leaned her head back on my shoulder.
"Now shut the fuck up and let me get some sleep, geez you're such huge morons!"
Jarvan's eyes widened in shock, he couldn't believe she just stabbed Thresh like that but I explained that he can't die from a simple wound.
"Don't worry; he'll wake up in a few hours."
"Umm, I wouldn't be so sure about it!"
"He's undead, he can't die so easily."
"Oh."
"So Jarvan, want to hear how I got stuck with these people?"
"Of course, I'm listening!"
And with that I began to explain the things that occurred to me in the few past days. I and Jarvan decided to get some shut eye after hearing my story so I leaned back and fell asleep.
I was sitting next to Lucian who was fast asleep and snoring loudly too while I was talking to Lux. Garen was quiet for most of the time and by the look on his face he was quite annoyed by our constant talking.
"So Lux, did you get over Liam?"
"Yeah, I guess Katarina deserves him, she's been living rough her whole life and all she needs now is true unconditional love."
Garen stared at Lux, confused by her statement.
"Wait a second, you loved Liam!?"
"Yes, but he fell for Katarina almost immediately, there was nothing I could do about it."
"Hmph, he should be ashamed for declining such a beautiful lady like you Lux!"
"Why thank you big brother!"
"At least Katarina would've still been available if it weren't for him, lucky bastard!"
"Don't worry big brother, you'll find another love interest!"
"You're right, what about you Riven, would you go on a date with me?"
I declined him the second he muttered those words out loud, he was so desperate!
"Umm, no thank you!"
He sighed and looked through the window in sadness, leaving me alone.
"Anyways, where were we Lux?"
Vel'Koz took most of the carriage's space forcing me to lie down on one of his tentacles.
"Why did I have to be paired with you, why?"
"I'm not exactly enjoying this too you know, I can't even move!"
I opened one of my bags, grabbing a few cupcakes I had hidden from the others. Vel'Koz stared hungrily at them, dreaming of tasting them again.
"Want some?"
"Oh yes please, that would be fantastic!"
"Wait, how can you even eat when you don't have a mouth!?"
"I disintegrate the cupcakes allowing me to taste them."
I handed him half of my cupcakes as he happily took them from my hands.
"Thank you very much Pantheon!"
"No problem, enjoy!"
I tried to relax as much as possible and ended up falling asleep on Vel'Koz's tentacle.
As I slowly opened my eyes I could see the city of Demacia from the distance, we were nearly there. I gently caressed Katarina's hair, waking her up as she lazily opened her eyes.
"Are we there yet?"
"Yeah, that's why I woke you up anyways."
She lay down, resting her head on my lap trying to fall asleep again but I began to gently tickle her.
"Rise and shine sleepyhead!"
"Stop it Liam, no, stop!"
Thresh woke up with a severe headache but unlucky for us he was still angry, very angry.
"Ow you dumb bitch, now my head hurts because of you!"
She simply shrugged it off, knowing that he deserved it.
"You deserved that!"
"If only I hadn't got such a terrible headache I would've cut you open this very instant!"
We sat in complete silence for the next few minutes until reaching the gates of Demacia where we were escorted to the citadel by Jarvan and Garen. Katarina stuck very close to me, not trusting her rival kingdom. The people we passed by glared at our group, mostly at Thresh and Vel'Koz. We walked as fast as we could and tried not to draw too much attention. Upon finally reaching the citadel I was greeted by my two friends, Shyvana and Fiora who were very happy to see me.
"Liam!"
"I haven't seen you two in a while!"
They all hugged me very tightly, so tight that I was barely able to breathe. Katarina's glared at us with a sign of jealousy but restrained herself knowing that making even more enemies would do her no good. As they let go, Jarvan gave us further instructions on where to go and what to do.
"Alright listen up, Shyvana here will get you to your ship and escort you all the way to Piltover. If she wants to, she can accompany you on your quest as well but that is all up to her choice."
"Thank you for your aid!"
"Even though you travel with such an odd group, I trust you completely."
"You've always been a good friend of mine Jarvan!"
"Take care and if you find any time do come visit us, we will miss you!"
"Good luck to you and may you be victorious in any upcoming battles!"
Shvyana took of her helmet, letting her red hair free and ordered us to follow her.
"Alright you guys, come with me!"
We followed her lead as she took us to a large nicely decorated ship. As soon as we boarded, Thresh put on the captain hat he got from our ferry to Urtistan and pushed the ship's captain aside, taking the wheel himself.
"Get out of my way!"
Worried for the sake of our lives, I tried to convince him to let go of the wheel.
"Thresh, the last time you took the wheel you sailed us straight into rocks!"
"Don't worry; I'll get you to Piltover safely!"
"Alright, you have this one chance to prove you're actually a decent captain!"
"Aye mate!"
I let him have his joy, leaving him alone at the steering wheel. I went down to the Shyvana and the others as she took us to our rooms.
"This ship has rooms for each and every one of you so take your pick."
Katarina wasn't happy with this; she wanted a room for two people.
"Umm, is there a room for two?"
"Well yes, we do have three rooms with king sized beds."
"Perfect, I and Liam will take one."
Shyvana's expression suddenly turned into one of shock and anger, she couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"Liam, since when are you in a relationship Katarina Du Couteau the Sinister Blade!?"
Katarina didn't respond kindly knowing that Shyvana wasn't trying to be friendly.
"That's none of your damn business!"
"I don't trust her Liam she's one of the most dangerous assassins in the world, you know she could backstab you at any moment!"
"Look Shyvana, I trust her completely and love her with all my heart!"
"Whatever you say, here are the keys."
Katarina smiled at the beautiful words I said about her and gave me a short, but passionate kiss. Shyvana handed me the keys after watching us kiss with disgust in her eyes.
"I hope you'll stay safe Liam, I'll see you tomorrow!"
We entered our room as Katarina snatched the keys from my hand, locking the door while I took a look around seeing that we even had our own bathroom.
"Oh look, we have a shower!"
"Hold on there, pretty boy!"
A dagger flew by me head, missing my ear by a millimetre and impaled itself into the wall. In one swift motion I turned around, not knowing what the hell was going on.
"Kat, what are you…
Before I had time to respond though, she tackled me on our bed while smiling devilishly.
"You promised you'll massage me for a full hour today, now get to work!"
Almost instantly, I opened her bag and reached for the oil as she got undressed completely. I was completely mesmerised by her beautiful nude body, she was like an angel.
"My god you're so gorgeous!"
"Like what you see don't you?"
I simply nodded as she lay down on her stomach allowing me to slowly massage her back.
"Ahh, this is just perfect!"
"You just relax and enjoy this as much as possible."
I slid my hands up and down her body slowly as she purred in joy. I moved to her neck and back down her body but when I began massaging her butt she stood completely still.
"Is there something wrong Kat?"
"No, I just don't know if we should..."
"Should what?"
"Is it even the right time, should I even consider taking our relationship to the next level? I trust him completely, I'm sure I won't regret my decision."
I turned around in one swift motion to face him, he looked confused.
"Liam, I think we should take our relationship to the next level."
He pulled me in for a passionate kiss as I closed my eyes while he got undressed as well. Somehow I knew I had made the right choice, I knew that he would never take advantage of me then ditch me afterwards it's just not like him. He softly kissed my neck and as I lay down he moved lower with a slow pace. The second he reached the complete bottom I felt a very pleasuring sensation like never before making me release a quiet moan. The way he used his tongue just left me breathless, it was a feeling like none other. He managed to get me at just the perfect spot, making me squeal in pleasure.
"Mmmm, yes that's the spot!"
Seeing how much I enjoyed it, he began moving his tongue faster doubling the ecstasy as I closed my eyes and began breathing with a fast pace also moaning at some points. He stopped after a few minutes and I went to my knees, kissing him once before moving down with my head. I gasped when I saw how large his penis was and looked at him with lust in my eyes before grabbing it with a strong grip and slowly putting it inside my mouth.
"Oh, that's nice!"
I struggled to keep it inside my mouth but continued to suck him nonetheless it was the least I could do to return the favour. I had enough after a few minutes, I felt too uncomfortable to continue. I lay down as he climbed on top of me, kissing me passionately. Before I would let him inside me though, I had to explain something to him.
"Wait, there's something I need to tell you."
"Sure, what is it?"
"I won't bleed when you enter, but I'm still a virgin."
"How come you won't bleed?"
"I ripped my hymen at one of my flexibility trainings when I was younger."
"Alright, are you ready?"
"Yeah, go on."
He carefully slid inside me as I couldn't help but to moan in pleasure. What I was experiencing at that moment was the best thing in my entire life, I've never felt better. He began thrusting with a faster pace as I squealed in ecstasy; I just lost all of my breath.
"Ohh…, yes …, faster ..., harder!"
He fulfilled my demands and thrust inside me as fast as he could. I completely gave in to the moment as my moans escalated and I didn't even care if anyone else could hear me. Unexpected to him, I suddenly turned him around, climbed on top of him and put his penis inside of me again. I pressed hard against his body as he thrust inside me, the feelings of pure pleasure overwhelming me once more. After just a few minutes I could feel the peak getting closer as I released one final scream before squirting all over Liam's body.
"OHHH, I'M CUMMING, I'M CUMMING!"
I collapsed next to him as he jacked himself off before ejaculating all over my belly. He collapsed right next to me afterwards and sighed in joy.
"That was the best time of my life Katarina!"
"Yeah, you were a real stud you know!"
"I'm so glad we did this!"
"You know what, from now on we're going to do it every single day and I don't care where we are!"
"Whatever you want my lady!"
I turned my face towards him, pulling him in for a passionate kiss.
"I regret nothing, that was really the best time of my life and I'm happy that I did it with him."
As we broke the kiss he covered us with the blanked and I snuggled close to him as he put his arm around me, squeezing me tightly.
"Remember when I told you there was something missing in my life?"
"Yes?"
"The thing that was missing was you Liam; you are all that I need."
"I will do all I can to make you as happy as possible, I'd do anything for you."
"I love you Liam, so very much!"
"I love you too my gorgeous Katarina!"
"Goodnight!"
"Goodnight Kat!"
And with that we drifted off to the nocturnal haven of sleep.
