TimeBomb prompt where a firelight overheard what's behind Ekko's workshop...

firelight reader's POV/you're a firelight

Its rare to see Jinx vulnerable, period.

Unless you're Ekko.

That is until you, a firelight, eavesdropped behind a thin wall near Ekko's workshop. Jinx has been cooped up in the base for months now after bombing the council. She was still the same maniac everyone fears, and you were always scared shitless whenever her presence is near.

It was until you heard a sniffle. You peeked through one of the small holes on the wall and watched the scene unfold.

Ekko's arms wrapped around Jinx as she pressed her forehead on his shoulders. The girl appeared so...defenseless and small...and Ekko seems so protective of her. Its true that everyone in the base have seen him protect his people, but this? It almost looks like as if he's holding something precious to him that's broken for a long time...and he cant fix it.

You look at them one final time before leaving

Jinx's face was glistened with tears and adorned with a softer expression, something you've never seen before. Ekko was ever so gentle as he caressed her cheek and planted a kiss near her lip.

Maybe this side of her was only reserved for Ekko.

You left the two and called it a night. Never have you thought that you'd pray to Janna to give them a happy ending
