I just don’t get it! Am I not good enough for you?
I kick the dust on the ground hard as I watch you and
Caitlyn chat away happily.The both of you are ALWAYS together. Why, Ezreal? Why
won’t you take notice of me? Aren’t I good enough to be with you?
I’m one of the youngest, most
sought after champions, just like you. A high ranking officer in Demacia, I don’t
think I’m THAT bad looking either...
But then again, Caitlyn IS the
well known sheriff of Piltover... Not to mention she has such a good figure and
guys are all crawling at her feet... Ugh...
I’m just
going to make myself more depressed at this rate. I took a last glance at the
both of you laughing before I sighed and started walking away.
Here I am at the river we first
met. I still remember it like it was yesterday. I was heavily injured after
escaping from a heavy ambush from Noxian soldiers and was hiding by the river
and then you appeared...
In every aspect you looked like
the knight I always dreamed of that will take me away from all my
responsibilities, my burdens in Demacia. I picked up my wand, cautious not to
be deceived by appearances for I feared that you may be a Noxian in disguise
but you just laughed and pushed my wand away from your face before lifting me
up and carrying me away.
As we walked to your home in
Piltover, I felt... so warm and safe in your arms, falling asleep halfway.
When I woke up, I was greeted by
your gentle smile. “You are Luxanna Crownguard of Demacia, right?”
“How do yo- ow!” I winced a
little as you tightened the bandage around my wound.
You grimaced a little, “bear
with it, will ya? I’m Ezreal. You’re currently in my home in Piltover.”
“Wait, you’re Ezreal!?” The
legendary explorer of Piltover was the same age as me? Amazing! “But you’re so
young...”
“I get that a lot,” you chuckled.
“I’ve informed Garen of your situation an-“
“LUXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!”
“I think he’s here.”
My brother bursted into the room,
destroying the door in an instant. Oh god... This is so embarrasing... “LUX,
ARE YOU ALRIGHT!?” He shouted in my face, panting and his sweat dropped on my
battle armor. Disgusted, I pushed him away a little.
“Yes, yes, I’m alright brother.
Thanks to Ezreal over here.” I gave a weak smile to my fellow blond.
“Well,” he turned to Ezreal, “you
have my eternal gratitude for saving my sister, Ezreal. We must be going Lux.
Come, the carriage is waiting outside.”
What? We are leaving so fast?
B-but.... I haven’t got to chat with Ezreal yet... Reluctantly, I got off the
bed and struggled to the door. I accidentally walked into a chair and was about
to fall when you caught me again and smiled. “Come on, I will help you there.”
You lifted me up bridal style (while Garen gave a death glare) and carried me
to the carriage. “I will see you again soon, alright?” You winked at me causing
my cheek to glow all shades of red before heading back in your house.
Garen got on board and soon we
were on our way back to Demacia. All the while I looked out of the window,
thinking about how you saved me and wondering if you could hear the wind
carrying my whispers, saying, thank you.
Ever since then, I’ve had a major
crush on you. I always want to talk to you but I just couldn’t since Caitlyn
was always around you. “I’m such a loser...” I sobbed a little while I kicked
the water in the river a little.
“You seem a little down, do I have to carry you home
again?”
My eyes widened. That voice... I
turned my head around and no doubt, you were there, the sun shining down on you
like a god. “Ezreal...”
“May I...?” You motioned at the
spot beside me. I nodded and you took your place beside me. “You alright? It’s
not like you to be crying...”
“Umm... yeah, just... Demacian
stuff.”
“Come on Lux, don’t lie. No one
can lie to me.”
Oh shit, no way I’m telling him
the truth. “It’s nothing!”
“Lux...” I don’t get it.... Why
is he being so concerned about me... “Just tell me?”
“I don’t get it.”
“Get what?”
I stood up, took and deep breath
and started shouting. “YOU! I MEAN, COME ON. WHY SHOW SO MUCH CONCERN FOR ME
WHEN YOU ALREADY HAVE CAITLYN!? STOP LEADING ME ON EZREAL. OH MY GOD YOUR DRIVE
ME CRAZY. WHY WHY WHY DID I FALL FOR YO- oh.”
I immedietly covered my mouth
with my hands, what the hell did I just say!!! You looked at me with an
expression I couldn’t read... You must be horrified. Oh god, I have to run away
now! Just as I started heading off, you held my hand and pulled me back into a
deep embrace. I was... shocked.
“...Ezreal?” You knocked my forehead hard. “OW!”
“You idiot.... Caitlyn is like an
older sister to me. The one I like is...” You turned me around to face you, “you.”
In that moment, I couldn’t
breathe. Ezreal... did he just confessed to me? “Are you lying...?”
“No.”
Tears started streaming down my
face as I hugged him back as tightly as I could. This is... too good to be true.
“I-I really love you...”
You smiled before returning my
hug again, burying your face in my hair.
“I love you too, Luxanna
Crownguard.”
