"Akali..."

She nods, "Yep?"

"Would you be down to try and create a music group?" she watches me with wide eyes, "It was just an idea I got back then and it was swimming in my head, right now I think if the five of us got together we'd be able to do it."

She then lights up, "What seriously?!" she lifts herself to her knees, "Is this like an already planned thing or-"

I lift my hands, "Calm down," I chuckle, "I still need to talk to Evelynn and Ahri, to pitch the idea and then hear if Kai'Sa would even be able to make it or if she would ever be interested in it."

She then nods, "I guess. Are you not talking with those two?"

"I haven't met up with them in months, we do text but that is about all it goes. Everyone has been taking the time to build their careers so... we just need to get together one more time and then I pitch the idea. Okay?"

She nods quickly, "Well at least now that you have one person definitely onboard with the idea."

"Fair enough," I then ask her, "Dunno if you have a new phone yet-"

She shakes her head, "I, unfortunately, don't even have that," she sighs, "Lost my old phone in a ditch somewhere - but you know where I live so you can always come and get me. Uh... but I am not even home that much either."

"How much is this place?"

"Err..." she giggles, "One of the guys is paying for me," she states, "I still kinda need to pay him back."

I then suggest carefully, not really knowing if I am jumping the gun, "I still live alone in that big house," I state, she cracks a small smile, "I haven't had anyone else inside it other than me for four years now and if you are sticking around I wouldn't say no into letting to live with me."

She leans over hugging me, "I would never say no," then stopping herself as she clears her throat, "Not like I am a freeloader or anything, but it would be nice to live with you."

I snort, "It's you Akali. I wouldn't say no."

"No it's just me," she then shakes her head, "I want to celebrate and talk to you like I used to and I know I would and want to but - it is because it has been so long it feels hard to tell where you and I are. I want to live with you, but if you-"

"I still love you."

She nods, "Then..." she lifts her hand to my face, and her fingers brush against my face and she smiles up at me. Despite our words, there is still some hesitation from both of our ends.

Laying in my arms she finally shuts her eyes to let me kiss her. It feels soft and warm, my heart overjoyed just to have her in front of me. She slings one arm over my shoulder resting her body on top of me. 

This reunion was long awaited.

She breaks away, and then starts to giggle, "You know how weird this feels to me?"

"Tell me."

She turns in place resting her head against my chest, "Well. I didn't expect to finally meet you just a couple of weeks back - I made plans to find a way to surprise you and here you are. And I am kissing you on this couch in a beat-up apartment that I am not even paying for or probably hasn't been cleaned properly for a while."

I then chuckle, "All-time high."

"I am feeling good," she admits, "Even better-considering everything else that just happened. I just need you to get the girls back and to get along with my new friends and then I am as happy as I can be."

"Not a job?"

She groans, "Please. Just don't start with me."

"That comes after, I am pretty sure. Right?"

"Yeah, so don't remind me, okay?"

"Sure."

"But if it does work out that does mean you are going to get me a job so you can stop fussing about it," she says in a chipper tone.

"If it works out," I still have a lot of things to run through with the rest of them.

We cuddle for a moment longer before she asks, "Do you... need to be somewhere tomorrow?"

I take a deep breath, "I do own my own company and record label so I kinda go by my own times but I do have an early appointment that needs addressing - but I can reschedule it if you are asking me to stay the night."

She nods, "I want you to stay, it feels sometimes like a nightmare thinking that I wake up and realise I lost you all... it would feel different if I woke up next to you tomorrow. Make me feel better about my own decisions."

"You did what you had to," I kiss the top of her head, "But sure. I'll stay the night."

"Thank you, (Y/N)," she settles into my chest, "For this, for finding me. For everything."
