Piltover, the City of Progress, the beacon of innovation and discovery, a land with new ventures into murky waters

"Morning, y/n!" An Enforcer announces while drinking his morning beverage

"Looking like a good day today, huh!?" He happily replies

"Sure does! Good luck with the meeting!" The officer says, earning a wink and finger gun from the well-suited Zaunite

"Hey, y/n~" A group of women cooly say, causing the man in question to slow his pace and awkwardly greet them

"Hey, ladies, everything good?" He asks while sneakily continuing his journey, yet he's halted when one of the women latch onto his arm

"I'm fine, thanks for askin'." She expresses with a subtle grin, staring him in the eyes with an eager gaze

His eyes widen as bit as she presses more on him, earning eye rolls from the other women. One having enough and stepping forward, grabbing his wrist and pulling him a bit

"Powder told us you didn't have a date to that party they're holding for Progress Day..." The woman holding his wrist says while grazing his forearm with her fingertips

"Uh, ye- yeah, I don't got one." He says with a shaky smile

"Thought so..." She moves her hand to his bicep and gently squeezes. "Then how about you-"

"Take me. I've been dying to go to one of them parties." Another of the women tells him while closing in and placing her hand on his chest, being mere inches from him and receiving glares from the others

y/n clears his throat and slowly begins to back away, trying his best to escape all their holds. "That would be fun but I just-"

"I get it if you don't want to go to that lame party..." The last of the group says while pressing her body on his backside, stopping him in his tracks. "We can always just..."

She leans behind his ear and rubs her hand across his back, leading it toward his abdomen. "Go and do whatever you think is more exciting~"

y/n's body heats up but simultaneously feels a shiver go down his spine. "I- I kind of have to be there, y'know? Sponsoring the academy to other regions and just helping out-"

"True, but who's going to help you?" The woman from behind asks

"For once, she's right." The woman clamped on his arm says. "I always see you so stressed, why not cut loose for a bit?"

"Maybe with me?" The woman holding his wrist asks as the one in front side-eyes her

The same woman leaning on his chest  moves her hand up and to his shoulder, softly squeezing it with a sly grin. "Don't listen to her. I'll show you how to-"

"Oh, y/n!" A voice calls out, causing everyone's attention to be drawn to it. y/n grows a smile at the sight of the woman

"We're going to be late for the meeting, quit dawdling!" y/n holds his smile and shimmies his way away from the group of women

"Coming!" He expresses with immense relief as the women grow pouty expressions while some cross their arms and others place a hand on their hip

"Thanks for that." y/n says as he joins Cassandra

"It's no trouble, I just couldn't stand those women smothering you like that." She groans in disgust while growing an exasperated expression. "I was five seconds away from pulling their hairs out"

y/n emits an airy laugh while placing his hand on his stomach. "Don't get too worked up, we already got enough on our plates as it is"

Cassandra takes a deep breath and puts her hand on her chest for a moment. "You're right." y/n smirks at her composed state and puts his arm around her shoulders
