My Light, My Lux

Chapter Eleven

Jinx is mortified.

Positively, utterly mortified.

And there are several reasons for that, too, it's not just her anxiety shooting through the roof. No, this time there are very very real reasons for her to be scared shitless.

Reason number one: her sister has taken Lux for a walk and a private conversation the very next day upon learning that the two are dating. This could end in disaster. In more ways than one. For one, Vi could share embarrassing stories of when Jinx was a kid... Oh no, gods no.

Reason number two: today Jinx has planned her first official date with Lux. Their first REAL date. AS GIRLFRIENDS. Jinx will screw it up. Oh, how much she will screw it up!

Reason number three: tomorrow she has to go back to work, and Lux asked if they might benefit from the help of a mage. And yes, they totally might, except Lux is Jinx's GIRLFRIEND now, and Jinx is scared that if she sees Lux again with her angelic halo she might faint. Or have an orgasm. Or both.

In any way, Jinx is fucking mortified, and with good reason. (Three of them!)

Thankfully, Caitlyn is there for her, patting her back as the girl struggles not to hyperventilate. "There, there, Jinx, it's okay. Just relax. It's going to be all right."

"I want it to be perfect, Cait. I like her so much, I want our first date as girlfriends to be perfect." And Jinx really, really means it.

"First you need to calm down." Ah, Cait and her words of reason. "Tell me more about the things you like to do with Lux."

"We really like kissing," Jinx immediately supplies with a goofy smile and a slight blush on her cheeks. "Especially if we're kissing and holding hands at the same time, it's... magical." Shut up, residue Mylo, that was a stellar pun.

"I understand." Caitlyn smiles with that soft sisterly smile that Jinx likes so much (but would never admit it out loud). "I also love kissing Vi, there's this thing she does with her tongue—"

Thankfully, there is a knock on the door that prevents Jinx from requiring more therapy in the wake of getting totally traumatised by Caitlyn's recollection of her sister's tongue and what it can do.

On the doorstep, there's a tall, extremely buff man (yet nowhere near Vander's build), glaring inside the apartment, clearly uncomfortable in his (rented?) jacket and trousers, shifting back and forth.

"Can I help you?" Jinx tenses up, ready to pounce at any second. She's no Vi, but she can throw a punch. Not so much take one, but if she throws it right, she might not need to defend herself against this mountain of a man.

"Yes," the man responds in a low, stereotypically masculine voice. Barf. Barf and bleh.

Then a scowl appears on his face, just as Caitlyn appears behind Jinx, cross-armed, squinting her eyes at the newcomer.

"I am here for Luxanna Crownguard. I will take her back to Demacia."
