Sweethearts (MaleReader x K/DA Ahri)

Chapter 13

Usually, I wake long after my alarm has rung but I still managed to remember in my sleep that Ahri was still here. I wake up almost in a rush and quickly disable my alarm before it got the time to wake me up.

I then turn back onto the couch as I stare up at the roof in disbelief. Not really ready to face her and not really convinced that everything that happened last night happened.

She missed me - as much as I keep convincing myself that she was drunk I was over the moon to hear her say those words. But within them, I still felt pain - knowing that I caused her so much more.

I shake my head as I get off the couch, only to see Ahri sitting staring at me with the prettiest smile.

"Ahri..."

She greets me, "Goodmorning," she then gestures to the clothes, "I didn't have anything to wear and Tracy gave me these."

I shake my head, "No it's fine. Hey... good morning," why am I so flustered, "I didn't really expect you to still be here."

She nods, "Me neither. To be honest I was ready to run away from this again but... it is about time we talk, right?" she lowers her gaze, "If you would let me..."

I nod, "Of course."

She then offers, "Do you want to clean up and wake up properly before we talk?"

"I won't take long."

That I didn't. It felt like I jumped in as quickly as I jumped out. Getting dressed in anything that fitted and somewhat smelled fresh. Though I give myself a surprised look in the mirror - as if my reflection could tell me where this energy came from.

First hesitant to step out, because it is sure just to be another dream but the reality is as much as I might consider this as a once in a lifetime moment. It is still almost an intervention. If you can even call it that considering we are interfering with our own affairs.

Stepping in before we let the problems resolve themselves - forming it into a bitter pain.

Our gazes meet each other and following that a painful silence. I tread slowly towards where she was sitting - neither of us knowing who should go first. But it is pretty obvious who needs to go first.

I breathe a heavy breath, "Guess it should be me to start first. It would only be fair towards you-"

"You don't have to..."

I shake my head, "I should," trying to recall memories forgotten I chuckle at how quickly and clearly I can recall what happened, "That day. You knew everything from before the day I disappeared."

She then says, "You got into fights - a lot of them. People started to side against you and in return avoided our group because of it. You were frustrated and angry because your dad... he was grieving the loss of your mother and never really recovered."

I nod, "That is putting it lightly but yeah. That day I was determined to drop everything and just continue at my best. All though it was a little late for the revelation I admit seeing as I was on my last straw already."

"But you tried... I know you did... what happened (Y/N)? Was it because we fought? Was it because of Evelynn?"

I shake my head, "No. You probably noticed that Jacky was bruised-"

She nods, "He got in a fight with someone right? Was it because you helped him?"

I shake my head, suppressing my laugh, "We fought each other," she nods though not in shock but in understanding as if things were making sense to her, "The reason I couldn't keep myself from wanting to beat the shit out of him because he said something about you."
