The Ice in my Heart (K/DA x Male Reader)

13 | A Business Trip

I awoke the next morning still feeling very tired. I couldn't fall asleep last night because my mind was too busy replaying that scene with Akali over and over. It wasn't a bad thing, per se, it's just that it was so brief, it left me yearning for more. But what did that mean? Did that mean I liked Akali? That's impossible, I've only known her for a couple of days. It was way too short of a time to fall in love. But that also begged the question, how do I feel about the other girls?

Evelynn was the easiest answer because I rarely interacted with her so far. She seemed fiercely protective of K/DA while also being one of the hardest working people I've ever seen. What I feel for her is largely respect, with a little bit of fear mixed in.

The other two were a little harder to figure out. I remained extremely grateful for everything Kai'sa has done for me, so I guess what I feel for her is gratitude? Although, since we danced together on that balcony, I found myself a little cold lately without her touch.

I wasn't even sure how to approach how I feel about Ahri. I still definitely felt something for her, but I didn't want my feelings of the past to cloud my feelings of the present. I don't want to say I love her, but she definitely is an irreplaceable existence in my heart.

Finally, Akali. Last night left me in a jumbled mess of emotions. Even after we bid farewell and I settled into my own apartment, it was like I wanted to go back to the overlook and talk some more, eat more ramen with her, paint more graffiti. It was strange, to say the least. I hadn't known her for long, but we both agreed that there was this weird connection between us, like it wasn't the first time we had met.

Thinking too hard made my head hurt, so I decided not to mull on it for too long. After all, I was now an employed man with much work to do. I quickly got out of bed and rushed through my morning routine, sitting myself back down at my desk when I was done. There were a few papers I needed to go over and a few phone calls I needed to make. It doubled as a good distraction to get my mind off things.

Right, so with negotiations out of the way, Ahri can move ahead with Syndra's promotion.

Kai'sa is still busy with her dance classes, although it looks like she has a break coming up. I need to schedule a couple meetings with her and Mundo, as well as fit in an interview somewhere.

Y/N: "Hello? This is (Y/N) (L/N). I am a representative from K/DA, and I'm calling about your sponsorship for the upcoming EP."

A couple hours flew by as I tirelessly slaved away. I really got lucky. All I was doing was secretarial work, and I didn't even need to go to an office to do so. Mundo told me it was fine to take care of everything from home. It even worked out better that way because there was nowhere for me to work at his office building.

Ding!

Oh, a text message. From Evelynn? I never gave her my number, but I'm sure that Mundo gave it to the girls to be able to contact me. I am, after all, their assistant.

Evelynn: Hey, you're coming with me. Be ready in five."

Huh? Luckily, I was already dressed, but I would've really appreciated a bit more of a heads-up next time. I scrambled to make myself a little more presentable before there was a knock at the door.

I rushed over to the door and swung it open. There, Evelynn stood with her arms crossed, a smile gracing her features, although I couldn't tell if it was out of goodwill. She was always unreadable.

Evelynn: "Good, looks like you know not to keep me waiting."

Y/N: "Of course not, ma'am."

I could also never relax around her. She always somehow made me feel tense.
