Sinister: Noxian Diplomacy

The Letter

Katarina clenched her eyes before opening them to the bright rays peering through the curtains of the window. All was quiet in the room save for the ticking of the alarm. It was seconds before ringing as it always did, the Noxian extended her hand to silence it before it disturbed the white haired beauty behind her. Her throat went dry from the lack of hydration she had recently which was easily solvable with a glass of water. Careful not to awake Ashe, she slowly slipped from underneath the covers applying as little pressure as possible. Her green eyes didn't stray away from the softened features of the Frost Archer's face but were just held even after she was off of the bed.

Only if her throat hadn't been like the Shurima desert, she would have stayed longer. Katarina walked over to her bathroom and withdrew a small cup from the medicine cabinet she used to rinse her mouth with and took some water from the faucet. She twisted the knob, poured it to the rim then closed it tight but released some of the tension for Ashe's sake. She didn't like when she couldn't open or turn on things after Katarina did with the iron grip she had, so the Noxian left it loose.

Turning around, she rested on the counted till the last intake before washing it and placing it back. 'No going back after I've woken up.' Thought Katarina while she made herself back to the bed. Each time she looked upon Ashe, a feeling washed over her. It's been over five months since the start of their new adventure together. Recalling the events of their trip to Freljord, her world almost fell apart knowing that Ashe wasn't safe. It only made her feel the ghost of the pain and trauma, similar to her past experiences in Noxus. Like them was like now- she carried on with her life, living better in the light now that wallowing in utter darkness and hatred.

But the assassin couldn't believe that only in a matter of days she could get used to this simple heaven. It was barely a few weeks ago that she almost died and her world almost fell apart she felt the scars of that battle healed now but the memory there stronger than the pain of them healing.

Laying back down on the pillow stretching after last night's party and the following drunken tussle in the sheets Katarina realized she needed glass of water to clear her dry throat with a grumble of frustration she pulled herself out of the bed and onto her shaky feet and over to the sink.

Sipping the cool glass of water and leaning against the sink, she looked at Ashe who sluggishly stirred under the heap of the comforter. A soft yawn brought her eyes to open and reveal the shimmering blue crystals Katarina always admired. They looked around eagerly for her till they landed to her figure.

"Morning." Katarina spoke with a grin, sensing the familiar warmth spread from her chest to her fingertips.

Rearing up from laying down, Ashe stretched her arms and said slumping back down, "Good Morning. What time is it?"

As Katarina neared, Ashe blushed slightly when she swayed her hips. Ashe silently scolded herself from gawking too long at the Noxian. Such behavior she knew wasn't good for her, especially since she was bright red now. Katarina smirked as she sat down next to her flustered girl and pulled her closer by the waist.

"Way past the time you usually get up. Slept well?"

Ashe leaned in for a kiss and responded lazily with her lips on Katarina's skin, "Mmm...always..."

With a chuckle, the Noxian flipped them both to where Ashe rested on her chest. The other who was still very much sleepy only lowered herself to place small kisses over her skin, grazing it with her soft lips. Katarina laughed and hugged Ashe when she smiled slowly from her response. "I always sleep well with you, you know that."

"I know." the Noxian said, lifting Ashe's chin to meet her mouth. "Just making sure."

A decent knock rung the mahogany door three times before pausing for another knock. Katarina groaned and lifted herself up along with Ashe, quick kissing her before answering.
