Don't mind me. Just posting some drabbles I found.

*School bell ringing*
There is an escalating hum of hurried footsteps behind the old building's doors before the doors almost explode outwards due to the swarm of college students pushing each other fervently, rushing towards the warm sunlight outside. The soles of countless shoes clatter against the grey concrete, dazed youthful forms spilling out of the crowded hallways while holding their book bags and taking off their blazers whilst exhaling relieved sighs.
"Finally! I thought that Professor Ryze would keep us in there until midnight!" One of those students, a tanned brunette woman with soft brown eyes and an exhausted expression mutters exasperatedly as she pats at her pockets to make sure that she didn't forget her Hex phone under her desk this time.
"It wouldn't surprise me if he did, Quinn. Professor Ryze loves his history lessons." Giggles a blonde-haired girl as she walks next to her dear friend. Quinn sends Lux a reserved smile before going back to frantically patting her pockets.
"Oh, damn. I think I left my Hex phone in the classroom again." The brunette student adopts a crestfallen expression before she turns towards the sympathetic sight of her chirpy friend. "I'm sorry, I will have to go back and retrieve it." Mutters the tanned brunette girl whilst looking at Lux somewhat apologetically.
"Don't worry about it. My ride is already here anyway." Answers Lux and the two friends share a quick hug and wish each other good evening, before Quinn runs back towards the ravenous open jaws of their prestigious college.
The blonde student merely sighs as she directs her gaze at the luxurious black car that's patiently waiting for her at the front entrance. A few minutes later and the car's door closes with a satisfying smack as Lux sits down on the backseat and places her bag next to her feet.
"How's your day, Miss Crownguard?' The driver monotonously inquires, like every day, and the blond college student minutely guides her gaze towards the reflection of scarlet sunglasses in the front mirror as she smiles at her chauffeur brightly.
"It's been great so far, Shauna. Thank you for asking." Luxanna beams and the black-haired woman behind the steering wheel observes the college student for a brief moment through her reflection before nodding quietly and then starting the car's engine.
"I'm glad to hear it, Miss Crownguard."

"Absolutely not!" The usually kind and wise mustached man unexpectedly raises his voice. "I can't have you loitering about in such late hours, Luxanna. Our family might be wealthy and influential, yes, but even so we do have enemies that wish to harm us. Wandering around on your own at night is extremely dangerous and I can't permit it."
The blonde college student's first response is to anxiously bite down at her bottom lip. Lux's eyes stare at her father pleadingly.
"But Daaad! Everyone else is going to Syndra's party! Quinn and Sona are going to be there, not to mention that Syndra and I have also just become friends! I can't just reject her birthday party invitation!"
"I'm afraid that you will have to, my little Sunflower. Unless you accept for a bodyguard to escort you."
Lux grimaces as she pictures a burly man in a charcoal black suit following her around while she interacts with her friends, the hushed whispers and amused eyes of the other guests quickly erupting after her initial arrival at the party. Just the thought of all that unwanted attention is making Lux's cheek's heat up as the college student squirms in front of her father uncomfortably.
"Is that the only way that you will allow me to attend the party?" Lux tries to change the mind of the mustached Crownguard patriarch whilst sending her father a pleading look.
"Yes."
The young blonde grimaces once more as Luxanna's shoulders slump in defeat.
"Very well then, father. I accept your terms. Which bodyguard is going to accompany me to the party? Braum? Galio? Xin Zhao?"
The mustached man grins mischievously causing the blonde teenager's eyes to widen in fear. "Please, don't make me go there with Draven, Daddy! That is the equivalent of committing social suicide! He will keep talking and talking, bragging about his military background and annoying the guests. He is going to definitely embarrass me, daddy!"
"Calm down, Lux." The short mustached gentleman smiles reassuringly at his visibly panicking daughter. "I wouldn't wish Draven attending such an event to my worst enemy, much less my little beloved Sunflower! No, I think that I have the perfect person for the job." The Crownguard patriarch's eyes move to someone standing behind the perplexed blonde woman. "Isn't that right, Vayne?"
"Shauna will be accompanying me-?" Lux blinks owlishly as she turns around to face her antisocial gruff chauffeur, only for the young wealthy heiress's breath to suddenly hitch when she abruptly catches a glimpse of the other woman.
"Wha..?" The young Crownguard unsuccessfully attempts to convey her immense astonishment as two shocked blue orbs roam up and down the lithe silhouette of her frowning bodyguard. The poor heiress' throat suddenly becomes drier than the scorching deserts of Shurima.
For all the years that Shauna had been working as Lady Luxanna's personal driver, the blonde Sunflower had never seen Vayne without her scarlet sunglasses. She had never caught a glimpse of the sharp, yet beautiful features that were lurking underneath that red sea of scarlet glass. The mysterious twin silver orbs that she could sometimes feel staring right back at her through the car's front mirror, but never actually witnessed. Had Shauna ever let her midnight black trenches down before?
More importantly Lux had never seen Shauna Vayne wearing anything other than her strict bodyguard suit, so seeing her gruff chauffeur like this, wearing a pair of skinny black jeans and a loose Pentakill T-shirt of the same color had left the shocked Crownguard daughter gaping like a fish out of water, staring in stunned silence.
"Is there something wrong with my disguise for the party, Miss Crownguard?"
Inquires the pale chauffeur. And now Vayne is looking fixedly at her, and Lux can feel herself blushing madly like a red traffic light.
"N-not at all." Somehow manages to stutter the blonde heiress. Vayne simply nods as she directs her argent gaze towards the smirking mustached Crownguard patriarch.
"Then we will be going if that's all. Sir?"
"That's all, Shauna. Have fun at the party you two." The smirking man gestures dismissively towards the office's door. And then, when the two women are about to exit the room, Teemo Crownguard adds as if in an afterthought. "Vayne, I am entrusting to you my Sunflower for tonight. You better keep her safe for me."
The pale bodyguard bows her head in respect, before gently grasping the hand of the fidgeting heiress. "Always…" Shauna whispers too lowly for the blushing blonde heiress to hear as the two leave the luxurious office.
