After I was finished getting ready I open the note again to see his room number "ok so he's on the second floor" I folded the piece of paper back up and put it in my pocket as I went down the stairs

Once I got to the second floor I open the note again to find his room number once I found his room I knocked three times waited for two then knocked again

He open the door and let me in not saying a word "so what did you want to talk about" I looked around his room as I sat down in on his couch "I just.... since were part of the same team I thought we should get to know each other" he sat on the couch far away from me "all right what do you want to know about me" I cross my arms looking him dead in the eyes "well earlier today when you were blacked out I couldn't feel pure pulse.." I started to laugh costing his attention "sorry sorry that must have freaked you out it's just something that my power do basically if I'm exhausted I get injured too much my body will shut down my breathing heartbeat everything goes dead for the magic to heal it self and make sure my body is working perfectly I can be unconscious for about a couple hours or a day it depends"

He looks a little bit more relaxed but still confused "so it's normal... doesn't it freak you out" I put my hands in my lap looking down "sure it does hell I was technically dead for a day it's scary me know like I feel my body going cold the blood dripping down it's not a pleasant thing I guess I got used to it though and find it a little bit funny" I put my head up but looking at his ceiling "I don't mind talking about this I'm glad you actually asked about it anything else you probably asked I will probably get defensive and wouldn't answer but how I got my powers I don't mind talking about it it's pretty well known in Piltover and the deal I made" I noticed that he scooted closer to me "all right how did you get your powers... aren't you born with them and what do you mean deal" I gave him his side eye as I smiled

"you see a long time ago I was 11 at the time I went to go rob this dorm room in Piltover with my family/friends you get it they were my friends but we live together and we basically consider each other family but not the point I went to a different room I found a chest in the chest was this circle blue crystals the same one that's in my glove" I held out my hand showing him the glove " I accidentally dropped one it was time to go I didn't want to arouse suspicion so I went to go pick it up I didn't know what they were and when I went to pick it up I heard this clicking noise cracking I can't pinpoint it anymore but I looked at it and it exploded I accidentally swallowed a few of the crystals when it broke my body went cold numb I was dead"

he got up from the couch and went to go grab something he came back with two shot glasses and what I'm assuming is alcohol he didn't say a word as he poured the alcohol in two glasses handing me one I took the glass a little hesitant but took the shot "I woke up a few hours later it was around night time keep in mind we were robbing that place early morning so I was dead for a day I woke up around nightfall I want to say we found out that I exhort some of the magic from me swallowing those crystals the next day" he poured more some of the alcohol in my glass as I kept talking him just sitting there listening

"the next day around nightfall again we saw a blue explosion well a blue light I ran to go figure it out with the head enforce of Piltover we found two scientists the one that I robbed well was basically robbing and another one flying around with those crystals it's called hextech they've learned that I got magic from that night from those and offered to take me in it was either they take me in or I go to prison now here is where the deal comes in" I sat the glass on the table as I started to feral around with my fingers "if I stay in Piltover I follow the rules I behave I do what I'm told basically become a lab rat for the two scientists and never go back down to my home the underground then they won't go after the other people I was with they will leave them be they will drop the charges and I get the punishments now if I did go to South water the prison I wouldn't have known if they would still be ok if they'll be safe I mean I could be in the person and one day they show up if I go back down to the undercity my home then they'll come after them and me so I really only had one option to keep them safe and I took it"

I let out a nervous laugh as I ran my fingers through my hair "I know they must hate me if they ever find out what I did they'll probably just think I stayed in Piltover for years not coming back because I got a good offer I was living a good life reality I'm just trying to keep them together" for the first time in a long time I felt tears pricking the side of my eyes I think the alcohol is getting to me making me more emotional

"I don't think they'll hate you they probably understand" I looked at him with a smile "thank you but I don't know a part of me is saying that they'll hate me the other ones say that they might understand but who knows it's not like I can go see them I'm not allowed to they think I'm dead" we sat there in silence for a while

"you know you freaked me out earlier today" I looked at him again as he was fiddling with his glass "I had an older sister she died here the same room you were in when I didn't see you breathing I kind of freaked out and flashed back to that day when we got the news that she was dead you remind me of her you know how you act not caring what people think and I've seen the way you care for those idiots on our team which is nice I guess in a way you also look like her except for the hair and your eyes but I think the first day I saw you when we were getting our rooms you just remind me of her just reading a book not caring with anyone else said about you I had to keep reminding myself that you aren't her I don't even know why I'm telling you this I think I had too many alcohol I'm surprise even let me bring that I'm 17 you know not the age to be drinking but I needed to get my emotions out and that's the best way I found distract myself until I pass out and I've been doing that every night I even had a bottle before you came in I have a high tolerance I guess hearing you talk about your story made me want to get another one just in case you needed some"

I sat up properly as I put a hand on his shoulder "you can talk to me I'm a great listener is what I've been hearing and trust me I'm only 16 not suppose to be drinking either so this can stay between us" he gave me a kind smile as he reached out his hand "Hugo my names Hugo I already know yours (y/n) since I heard it the first day when we were getting our rooms" I took his hand shaking it "yeah it's a pleasure to finally meet you Hugo"
