Crossing fates

Natural partners

-Ahri point of view-

Assy was in front of me, giving me that usual confused face that always look so cute in him, I guess I wasn't so concise.

Me: I'm not telling you to abandon everyone and never come back if that's what you're thinking, I mean to just chill out in the forest, I was planning on going anyway, sooooo, you want to go?

He seemed relieved after hearing that, I guess I should be more precise from now on, however, he didn't think much of it before saying yes.

Me: Ok, we better get going if we don't want to waste this beautiful night.

We started to walk without a destination, just to pass time, he seemed happy while seeing the trees and flowers, like he loves being surrounded by nature, I like to see him that way, smiling so innocently, he remembers me to Sona, I just hope that doesn't give me urge to push him to the ground and take his innocence away.

Now that I think so, this is the first time that I'm genuinely attracted to a man, I mean is not like there was any competence in Runaterra, most of the males in the league where idiots and all the hot guys were whether crazy or already taken by other girl. I mostly spent my time with my friends, mainly women; I still remember my first relationship in the league, a failure that I'll never forget.

I looked back to Assy and saw him thinking about something, he looked serious, I honestly think he look hot when he does that, he really is a perfect combination between cuteness and hotness; to make things worse his usual dressing doesn't help, that bandages all over his upper body made him look really good, I have found myself looking deeply into him more than just once.

He snapped me out of my thoughts when he touched my shoulder, he was pointing somewhere, it didn't take long before I noticed where he was pointing, the shrine, the place where all began. It would be good to give a last check on that place before we leave the woods.

Me: So, you want to give a last check on the shrine? Ok, I'm curious too, so let's go.

He nodded to me with a serious look before star walking.

I followed him and decided to break the silence.

Me: Now that I think so, I haven't told you much of me doesn't it?

He denied with the head and gave me a face filled with expectation.

Me: Well, what can I say? I'm just a bastayan who lived by herself on a treacherous world, at least that's what I normally would say to people, but being honest, I never felt normal, even among other bastayans, some of them even called me traitor for having relationships with humans.

He gave me a face filled with compassion, I got to be honest, I don't like receiving compassion from the others, mainly because no one do it sincerely, but Assy here is another story, so I didn't get mad at him.

Me: Well, I know that saying something like "I never was normal" sounds like the stupid kid in class that wanted to be a superhero or the girls that want to be interesting to the others, but it completely describes me, I've never saw any other bastayan with nine tails, most of them had various animal's traits, but even other bastayans with fox traits didn't have nine tails. It's not like I really talked to a lot of people through the years either.

We reached the shrine when I finished telling that part of my story, I guess is enough for now, I don't want to say my entire biography just now.

Me: We arrived, let's check for any clue of what is this or who and why constructed it.

He gave his usual nod and started to look around for any clue. We spent several minutes looking for something, but nothing important appeared, just a weird draw of some sort of dragon or whatever on the floor where we all woke up. It was starting to get boring, Assy looked disappointed for not finding anything important.
