Author's Note: Hello again. There is a lot of Riven stories going up recently so hopefully this isn't to much like any of the others. I read the other ones and I think this story is different than the others. If you guys feel like this story is really similar to any of the other, please let me know. So I can try to differentiate this story from the others.
Well here is chapter 2, I hope you enjoy. After I read through it a couple times to edit, I think I'm going to keep it as a first-person story. For people who want action and everything, that won't happen most likely for another chapter or two. I really want to develop the relationship between Oliver and Riven. I also what to develop the friendship between Oliver and Olivia, which will happen more next chapter.
Well please favorite and follow the story if you like it so far. Also leave a review or pm me if you have any sort of suggestion or criticism on the story on how I can fix any errors and what not.
It's 10 am, Saturday morning and it's time to get up. I heard my alarm going and I slammed it to turn it off. Pretty sure that it is broken now because the time disappeared from where it was suppose to shown. Even with that, nothing could ruin my day. This is the day I've waited for when I joined Summoner School 5 years ago. Today I will walk on stage get my diploma, summon my Champion I will be selecting. We will place our hands on a binding stone that will lock in my selection for the next year.
I quickly headed to my desk that is against the wall that was to the right my bed. Once I got there I turned on my my radio, hooked up my computer, turned on some rap and dubstep and blasted it. When I said I blasted music, I mean it. Like the windows were shaking from the base. It's prob not good for the windows but I didn't care, I'm in a great mood. I couldn't here myself talk. Now time to take a shower, I walked over to my bathroom and hopped in the shower. I was in an out with in a 5 minutes, I've never showered so fast. Then I turned down the music a tad because I was getting a little bit of a headache.
Right as I turned the music down I heard someone knock on my door. I don't know how I heard it because the music was still very loud. It must have just happened at the right moment in between songs where there is a slight moment of quiet. "Coming, give me a second. I have to get dressed. Who is it though?"
"Umm… It's Riven. Oli, can I come in?" Ah it's the Champion I'm gonna select. She is amazing. I don't even really know her and I can feel myself heating up just thinking of her, why am I so excited? Ah whatever.
"Ok. I believe I have a spare key in the biggest rock to the right of the door. Do you see it?" I yelled out my window. Well I just let the whole street know where my spare key is. Guess I'm going to move it now.
"Yeah I got it. I'm coming in."
"Ok, you can keep the key, you're going to need one. I'm almost dressed, be down in a sec. Make yourself comfortable." I have a relatively modern looking houses. The outside is very block like. Meaning it was a bunch of 90 degree corners, with tall windows. The walls on the outside are made out of mahogany. I have an upstairs that over hangs where my living room is, with a balcony. The inside of my house on the ground level is very open with high ceilings. Then the upstairs level has two bedrooms, the master bedroom that is mine. Then there is also one that is a little smaller, where Riven will be moving in. Around the outside there isn't much yard but there is a lot of trees.
I had quickly put on some of what I will be wearing to my graduation. I had my black suit pants and under shirt on. I started to button up my shirt as I headed down to see her. She was facing the door than turned around to face me as soon as I got next to her. "Hello Riven. You look... You look amazing." The white dress looks amazing on her. The way it's cut was just perfect on her the really showed off her body. The cut along the legs is diagonal. It starts a little higher than the middle of her right thigh, then it goes a little lower than the middle of her left thigh. The top only had one strap that went over right shoulder.
"Aww thanks for the complement. I thought I would wear this to your graduation. What do you think?"
"I think it is absolutely perfect. The graduation isn't for another 3 hours. So what brings you here early?"
"Well I thought I would come over early and start bringing my belongings from the dorm. Considering I will be moving in with you in, 3 hours. Honesty I can't wait, the rooms that Champions that don't have a Summoner and that are not part of a faction are pretty shitty. Your house looks amazing." She took steps forward and turned in a circle as she did. To make sure that she could get a 360 degree view of where she was standing. She ended up right in front of. When she realized how close she was to me. Then she looked like she stuttered than backed up a little.
I laughed at how awkward she just looked but didn't antagonize her about it. "Thanks. I officially have owned it for three weeks but I have only lived here for a week. I've only just brought over the last few of my belongings from the apartment I was living in for the past two years. So there isn't much furnishing done, but I haven't had much time to go shopping between bringing over things from my apartment and also studying for the finals of my classes."
"Aww don't worry about it. The house is plenty furnished for me. I mean tomorrow if you want you and I can go shopping and get some furniture."
Smiling I responded, "Sounds good with me. Well I gotta go upstairs to grab a few more things. Umm… you can put you clothes and well everything you want in your room. It is the room up the stairs on the right. My room is across the hall, on the left when you go up the stairs. If it's something that you don't want in your bedroom. You can leave it here and we can sort it out later. Sounds good?"
She smiled at me then spoke, "It's sounds good with me." She shortly made her way up with three bags before coming back down and left a few boxes in the living room.
I quickly ran upstairs and grabbed my cufflinks, tie and jackets. "Hey Riven you wanna go grab some food before we head over to the college? We have time and I'm starving."
"Yeah, I haven't eaten anything yet today."
"Ok, what do you want?"
"Don't you know what I like?" She paused before continuing. "Oh wait you didn't read the notes. Ok. Well you wanna go grab some bagels at Morgana's bakery?"
"Sounds good with me. I'll buy."
"No I will buy as a thank you for selecting me and housing me for the next year."
"Fine." I quickly went upstairs to grab my tie and than came down to grabbed my cap and gown odd my couch. Then, we quickly walked over to the TP pad that was just inside the door. The one outside the door is for people coming and the one inside is for people going. Yes I know our mode of transportation is a wee bit complicated, but we get use to early on in life. "Next stop Morgana's bakery." Just like that, in a quick flash of light and we were there.
Morgana walked up to the counter. "Riven you never told me that you were in a relationship and with a Summoner for no less. So what would the lovely couple want?" With that the Exile and I both blushed and looked away from each other.
"Umm… yeah… I…" Riven just kept on stumbling over her words. With each word her face became a bright shade of red. Her acting this way is not common ever. I've never seen her not confident. She actually had to stopped for a minute to compose herself before she spoke again. "Ok… Hmm… we aren't dating Morg." The she said something really quiet, I don't think she knew I still caught it. "I mean not that I wouldn't mind Oli." The she raised her voice "but yeah Morg we aren't a couple. Now I would like a garlic bagel double toasted with butter?"
"I will take the same as this lovely women." Her face became as red as the hair on the fat man, Gragas. To top it off I gave her a kiss on the cheek, Morgana just laughed.
"Uhhh… yeah… Morg I'll take the check, put what ever it is on the card."
"Ok. Here you go Riven. Just sign here and here is your food." Riven had calmed herself and her face had returned back to its pale form. So before I got the food I wanted one more reaction just for shits and giggles. So I walked up to grab the food and smack her ass while she signed the check. Right as I made contact Riven jumped up a little, she actually let out a squeak and her face went red faster than a light turns on. She looked so cute and Morgana laughed and I gave her a comforting hug from behind. Which cause her to blush even harder. I laughed to myself at the way the Exile was acted as I turned around to take the food back to our table.
Breakfast went well, now it's time to head to school for my graduation. I told Riven where I need to go once we got there. Giving her a hug then made my way to where I had to go and Riven headed into the auditorium where her seat was. She seemed a little nervous, I wonder why. I finally made it to the back of the auditoriumand put my cap and gown on when I ran into Liv. "Oh hey Liv how's it going? What you been up too?"
"Nothing to much. Just getting ready for today, I also had to clear out my guest room for the champion I'm selecting. How about you and Riven?" She said that last part like she was implying something.
"Why do you say it like that? And you still haven't told who you are choosing."
"Aww come on Oli. We all know the last few day you and Riven have been seeing each other more often outside of the rift. You've also been playing a lot more practice game and have been using her exclusively. So did you two do anything today? Also I'm not telling you who I'm choosing, you just have to wait." God she knows me to well. I did though giver a pouting face about her not telling me. I just hope who ever it is, is a cool Champ.
"Yeah we actually did do something this morning. She came over to my house around 10:30 and began to move in already. Then her and I went to get breakfast because we had plenty of time. Breakfast was a hilarious, experience. We went to Morgana's bakery and Morg thought Riven and I were a couple. Riven lost it and blushed her face off, when she tried to talk she actually stuttered when Morg first brought it up. She could hardly keep her composure." I laughed.
"Hold up. Rewind. You two are not a couple yet? I swore you two were together." I shook my head. "Oh come on now Oli. You two have been spending so much more time together. You two have gone out and grabbed food together, done matches together and so much more. I mean just look at the way she looks at you. She really beginning to care for you Oli. Just make it official already, ask her to be you girlfriend. Actually as soon as you get off stage, ask her. I will be right next to you for support even though you won't need any."
"Ok. Fine I will ask her afterwards. So who did you choose?"
"I'm not telling you. You will find out when I'm called up."
"Joe Adams. Congratulations. Who will you be choosing?" The dean of the school called up.
"Thank you. I will be choosing, Jax; The Grandmaster At Arms." Right after that Jack teleported on to the stage.
"Place you hands here. Now you and the Grandmaster are bound for the next year." The two walked over to the seats on the other side of the room and sat next to each other.
I actually got nervous and missed Olivia go up. All I heard was, "Thank you. I choose, Irelia; The Will Of The Blades." I cheered and clapped then quickly zoned out again. This went on a few more times before it was my turn. I wonder if it's normal for the Champions to be teleported in there normal attire. Riven is going to walk up, not be teleported. She is in a very nice dress, definitely not in her normal attire. What she is doing has to not be normal at all. The reaction from the crowd should be interesting.
"Oliver Rose. Congratulations. Mr. Oliver Rose here is graduating at the top of his class. He has been placed in the highest league fro someone to be in. For you who don't know will definitely know when he has his first match in six days." I could see people looking at the card that talked about us. Like where we are placed, a picture and quote from us. It didn't say who we were choosing. After a second I heard gasps then the crowed stood up and began to clap. Guess they found out where I'm going. Um reader, help me... please? Once I did get up on stage, the dean shook my hand an handed me my diploma. We stood there for a second for a few picture. "Now Mr. Rose, who will you be choosing?"
Before I could even answer. Olivia shouted Riven. I just laughed a long with a bunch of other people. I looked up and saw Riven blush. "Thank you sir. I. Will be. Choosing Riven."
He nodded, "Now she's actually here for this, isn't she?"
"Yes she is."
"Well Riven come on down." Everyone there was just shocked, when they saw the white haired, Ex-Noxian, walk down one of the isles to get up to the stage. There were a bunch of whispers going on about why she wasn't in her normal attire, why she didn't teleport in and why she was even here watching this.
Riven walked up next to. "Hey Riven. You ready for the next step in our relationship?"
"What do you mean?" She asked a seeming to be caught a little off guard.
"I mean to be spending the next year of our lives together. What did you think I meant?"
"I thought you meant, dating?"
"Would you want that Riven?" Her face blushed a little but it quickly went away. She clearly is trying to hide her emotions from everyone. Now was my chance, we place our hands on the stone. "Riven before he speaks. Would you like to be my girlfriend?"
"Yes. Yes I would Oli."
Then the dean spoke right after her. "Oliver and Riven, you are here by bound to one another until next years ceremony. Congratulations again to you Oli on graduating and the two of you being a team." I quickly walked over and gave Riven a hug and than took her hand as we walked to our seats. I hugged her and didn't get a response because that was sort of normal. What did get us gasps from the crowd was that I took and held her hand as we took our seat together.
Once we sat down I got to ask her about champions teleporting and their dress."Is it not normal for Champions to not be teleported in and not to be wearing their normal attire?"
"Yes Oli, it is not normal for a champion to not be teleported in or wearing their normal attire. I figured since you were being not normal, in reading the notes given to you about me and respecting my privacy. I would also not be normal and actually sit through the graduation and actually dress nicely and not wear by battle attire."
"Is that why you seemed nervous when you went to take a seat, when I went to where I had to everyone who was graduating?"
"Yes that is the reason. I didn't think I showed that, usually when it comes to emotions like that I usually can hide it. The only other time I didn't was at breakfast. Hugging a Champion on stage is kinda normal. Hold hands on the other hand is not normal for a Champion and Summoner to do. Which is why there were so many gasps. Now why were the gasping when they looked down after he said you placed high? How high are you placed?"
"I figured that last one Riv. Oh it's just cause I'm placed high, don't worry about it. It really isn't a big deal."
She looks questionably but nodded. "Now did you just call me Riv?"
"Oh yes I did, I hope you're ok with it." I teased.
All of a sudden Olivia's blond head shot between us. "Hello Liv." I laughed.
"Hello Oli. Riven." Riven nodded. "So you to a couple yet?" Riven's cheek went red and I just laughed before I responded.
"Yes Liv. We are a couple now."
"Aw congrats. We should all do something." She then turned her hear towards Irelia and asked her, "Hey Irelia you wanna go out with Riv and Oli?" Irelia looked questionably and slightly confused but then she nodded. "Ok you two. How about we go grab some food at around 8? Sound good?"
"Yeah Liv it sounds good. Riv I have to go have a late lunch with my family when this is done. Would you like to come?"
Riven looked nervous but quickly hid it. "You want me to meat you parents? Already?"
"Sure, why not? They're nice people, you will like them."
After the ceremony Riven walked with me to go meat my parents. Surprisingly they weren't to hard to find. As soon as I got to them my mom gave me a hug and then my dad shook my hand. Both of them congratulating me on graduating.
"Mom, Dad, this is Riven, but you prob no that already. Riven this is my mom and dad." Even though she didn't show it I could tell she was nervous. Riven shook both of there hands but afterwards there was an awkward silence. "Ok, so parents, where are we going for our lunch?"
My mom took a second but finally answered, "I was thinking that we could go grab some pizza? Does that sound good?" I nodded and then looked at Riven and she nodded. We all started to walk to the teleportation pads, when my dad pulled up next to me, gently pushing Riven in front of us next to my mom.
"So son, how does it feel to be graduated?"
"It feels amazing dad. It feels like so much weight has been lifted off my shoulders."
"That's great. So, is there something going on between well you and Riven? I mean I saw you to hug and it didn't look like a normal hug and you were walking and holding her hand. Then when your mom asked us if we were ok going to the pizzeria, you looked at her for the confirmation of where to eat."
I shook my head, how did I know he was going to bring that up. I laughed to myself. "Yes dad, Riven and I are dating."
"I would say you shouldn't date someone you work with but hey look at your mom and I. Also you two are old enough to make decisions on your own."
"Thanks dad. I'm glad you are ok with the fact her and I are dating." As I continued to talk with my dad, I could faintly hear my mom talking to Riven. I couldn't make it out but I figured it must be embarrassing to Riven cause she kept looking back at me with a red face and occasionally mouth, "Save me." I just laughed and let her deal with my mom, while I talked with my dad. I personally didn't want to talk to my mom yet, because she would also dive into my personal life a lot more that my dad would.
Once we got to the pizzeria it was my turn to deal with my mom. We had just sat down and Riven went to the restroom. Once Riven wasn't in ear shot my mom began to fire the questions and being all motherly about relationships. "So son why didn't you tell us about you and Riven?"
"Well mom because until we locked together at graduation we were not a couple. Now I know where you are going."
She cut me off. "Oh do you now. You know you have never dated before, I just wanna make sure everything is going good. Just remember our people mate for life. Your dad dated a few different women before him and I got together but he never did the dead with anyone else but me. The same goes for me with him." My face turned red from embarrassment of my own mother talking about her love life in public like this.
"Mom I don't need to know about you love life with dad. I know how our species works, ok."
"Ok ok. Cause people like Riven aren't like us. They can have sex with whoever they want and not get attached to them unlike you."
"Mooooommmm, I know that."
"Ok ok." Now my mom was caught up with making sure that I was alright that she didn't notice Riven coming up from behind. "Now even though I'm pretty sure I know the answer, I still have to ask. Have you had sex with Riven?" Riven tripped right as she was a about to sit and spat out my drink. She was so straight forward about it, no beating around the bush or anything. On top of this we were in such a public space. How could she ask such a question not in any privacy. I mean last time I check, talking about one's sex life with their parents isn't common. It's even more uncommon when you are in a public space with said parents.
"Oh come on mom. No, Riven and I have not had sex yet. Honestly I've thought about it, yes, but I don't know enough about her yet to decide." Then I saw Riven trying to get into her seat on the other side of me. I just looked at her and mouthed, "I'm sorry about all of this." She just laughed.
She leaned over to my ear and whispered, "Don't worry about it but we need to talk. Your mom informed me of something when we were walking. I just nodded as so that it seemed like I knew it. In reality I had no clue."
"Is it about my race?"
"Yes."
"Ok, as soon as we get back to my house, I will explain everything. I promise."
