It was dark in Jinx’s hangout, as she watched you go over her notes to make sure her work was correct on her tinkering with the book she had found for the work of the hextech device she “borrowed”. The music in the background was more of a hum at this point to the blue haired girl, as it seemed to cancel out the longer she stared at you. You added a few notes to things she had written, little things to possibly fix, but she didn’t bother to ask why or ask you to explain to her what was wrong with what she previously wrote. Because now you were twirling the little hair left that was unmanageable to fit in her braid between your fingers while you read her work and it felt like non-existent people were watching her to see if she’d make a move on you or mess something up.

Her slender fingers twitched as she wanted to move them to touch you somehow, but she had no clue on where to put her hands. On yours? Your shoulder? Your lower back or waist? What was the right spot? “Other than the two things I corrected, you basically got it spot on my engineer!” you smiled bashfully, which made Jinx melt. When she realized she hadn’t replied yet she grinned and slid the book back towards her. “Thanks beautiful, I just wanted you to double check.” Jinx said in her softest tone. She was trying her best to be kinder just for you, didn’t want to be overly pushy or go on missions without you.

Though she didn’t even attempt to put the same effort around others such as Silco or Selvika, -though everyone knows Jinx will do absolutely anything to mess with Sevika.- because she doesn’t need everyone else to see her trying to be the best she could be but that she in fact couldn’t stand to be somewhere you didn’t notice her.  You gave her another breath-taking smile and leaned down, placing a peck to her cheek as she froze. “Anytime.” you had said before standing up to make your exit. “I'm heading down to the Last Drop! You should join me if you’d like.” was the last thing you said to the girl before exiting her hangout.

Jinx let out a breath she was holding, slapping her hand on her chest before letting what events had just happened settle in her brain. She rushed up, speed-walking to go meet you down at the bar as she didn’t want to waste a second being near you -as to her, every second counts when it comes to you-. Once she made it downstairs and happily sat in the spot next to you, she gave you a large grin. You gave her the gentlest smile you could muster and right then and there, she had felt like you two were the only ones in the bar. The bartender dropped a glass of the drink you normally order right in front of you, then went to grab Jinx’s personal cup. You and Jinx kept going back and forth, chatting about absolutely anything that came to mind.

Meanwhile, Jinx went on and on to describe what she found incredibly endearing and interesting in what someone's habits can be when it comes to going through an average day or even when it comes to a certain hobby. And it was all about you. All of those things that she named off the tip of her tongue naturally were things she had picked up from you. To the sleepovers where she saw your average morning routine, what it was like when you get ready for your day, to going to bed and seeing how stunning you were while sleeping. Even if you saw it as imperfect, and saw many other things much more gorgeous and graceful, she loved that even you didn’t have to be perfect. She adored the small things that could portray you as you -last time the two of you had a sleepover, she could hardly look at you when you would get ready for bed or your day together because she thought her heart would stop if she admired you too much.-.

You were in awe as you listened to Jinx ramble, and then went on talking about how much you agreed that certain people had habits you could adore so much. Could you not figure her out? How were you the only one who couldn’t tell she was crazily in love with you? And as much as Jinx just wanted to hurry and make you hers, make you learn she loved all your imperfections and show you how she didn’t want to share any of you. She didn’t want you to find someone else to have sleepovers with, long talks at the Last Drop, or check someone else’s work because you were one of the most intelligent person someone could know, or spill all of the most random facts about you, or the secrets you didn’t tell anyone else because they didn’t have a bond close enough as yours and Jinx’s.

Week later from now, every second of the minute, minute of the hour, hour of the day. God even the days by the week, all Jinx could think of was you. She was even out on a mission with you and was distracted by you defending yourself in a battle that she had been blown to the ground, scraping her knees. She didn’t even stutter to run and help you, ignoring the trickle of red liquid seeping into every crevice and crack in her skin, letting them bleed just for you. Jinx still replays the moment you two got back to her hangout, watching you in awe as you cleaned up her wounds, despite yours being just as appealing to clean.

Hell, she even cleaned up yours just to take it as a chance to flirt. There was no going back with that at least. Repeating the words of your gentle voice telling her it was okay to get a little closer. Days passed, and it was like a chase of whatever she was feeling for you, trying to find proper words to describe, name it. At a point she wanted to blame all of you, wanted to say you were possibly leading her on. Much to say like you were holding a treat in your hand and she was following you just to receive the goodness, something you could crave because of how appealing it seemed just to be rewarded with something so incredibly good just for being yourself.

She wanted to say you were leading her to a cliffs edge just because you could and she would follow whatever you had to say. Until one day, it seemed like everything was so clear like a gorgeous sea. You held her by the hip, chatting away with Sevika about a recent poker match, as she had been trying to teach you. Jinx refused to be separated from you, and you didn’t bother to protest, filling up Jinx’s head with dizziness, a sore stomach from butterflies. You asked Jinx to hang out with you that day, which ended up in her suggesting you two go and find some place to eat. Once you two were leaving the Last Drop, Sevika called you over, which you had gently wrapped your arm around Jinx to place your hand on her hip while you had a chat with the buff woman.

Once Jinx headed back home and went to change into her nightwear, she stood in front of her mirror and pictured an imprint of your fingers on her hip in gold like a sort of tattoo, touching the spot with care as she engraved the placement in her head. She swore she still felt the coldness of your hand there. And only the gods knew of all her pining for you, the patience she had to find the right time to even mutter how madly in love with you she was, made her hands shake. Even the moments you say her name, it still feels like everything just…stops. Just looking at you, hearing your voice repeat in her head, the beautiful glow she saw in your eyes, even when they could be the dullest in all of Zaun, she couldn’t help but get the urge to tell you how didn’t want you as a best friend but instead something more.

To the latest sleepover you two had, Jinx took it as a moment to be vulnerable because if she was honest, she could never feel like she had to lie to you. So laying in bed, late at night Jinx admired you. The two of you gazing at each other, JInx dares to say your eyes were loving to her. “You know, even in my worst times you managed to see the best in me.” Jinx whispers, and you’re positive this is the calmest she’s ever been near you. “Always. I…care for you a lot Jinx, I don’t think you’ll ever understand how much you mean to me.” You told her, causing Jinx to look down at a necklace that was wrapped so prettily around your neck.

The blue haired girl envied the way it got to be against you like that, unlike her. “God even through my worst lies, you still saw the truth in me. I hate that you’re so perfect. I hate that I love it so much.” Jinx whimpered. Her neck grew tight in fear of your reaction, feeling her eyes swell with tears. “I think I worry a lot. Sevika tells me I need to take it easy sometimes. And I even,” you started but cut yourself off with a faint laugh. “I get this anxious feeling too. But…when I’m with you, Jinx, it goes away for a minute when I’m here with you. That’s what you do to me.” You shared with her, bringing your hand up to tuck loose strands of hair behind her ear. Jinx finally looked up, making contact with your eyes. “What do you do when you’re unsure if you love someone?” she asked you, not even knowing if you had known an answer.

“Hun, you have to crave it. Chase it even. Just until you’re close enough to taste it. You know what I mean?” You replied. And if you were honest, you were scared she had loved someone else. Were you too late? Did you not confess in time? All Jinx did to your answer was give you a smile. Her blue eyes that made your heart race when she looked at you stared warmly at you. She leaned close to you, stealing a quick glance at your lips before leaning even closer to press a soft kiss on your cheek.

You laid there stunned until Jinx hopped up, gently linking her hand with yours and pulling you up with her. “Come on, I made you something and I wanna show you.” So leaving the four walled room that belonged to Jinx, the comfort followed the both of you as Jinx led you both to her hangout. The two pairs of feet pattered against the cold metal as Jinx picked up a trinket that was square, a large red button in the center. It was decorated with her little doodles in lots of colors such as pinks, purples and yellows.

She placed it into your hand, pointing at the button “Press it! You’ll love what happens.” Jinx eagerly said, her eyes wide as if stars were in them. You nodded, slowly clicking the button. A faint hiss filled the large cave, a boom right after as sparks of reds, pinks, and a silver filled the air. You peered around in awe, walking to the edge of the circle platform to peek even more at the gorgeous bursts of color. Jinx stood a few feet behind you, admiring the way you looked so beautiful under all the colors. “This feels right, doesn’t it?” Jinx said, walking over to her record and playing one of your favorite instrumentals for you.

You shivered at how beautiful she sounded, like her voice was laced with tempting mischief and gold. You spun around to turn around, smiling as you nodded. “You feel right.” You replied, watching as Jinx smiled to herself, turning away as if she refused to make eye contact with you. Carefully swaying over to her, you grabbed one of her hands and twirled her to face you. She looked into your eyes, seeing the reflection of multiple colors in her large blue eyes. “Are you asking me to dance weirdo?” Jinx teased, the two or you giggling like children. “Will you dance with me if I say yes to that?” You responded, Jinx simply rolling her eyes and wrapping her arms around your neck, swaying to the music.

You didn’t say a word, instead admiring the beautiful girl ahead of you. Her blue hair was out of their daily braids, instead in its normal long waves. She wore an oversized purple shirt, -it looked like the same one you were wearing a few sleepovers ago.- yet even without her trying, it was like she was the most beautiful art piece you had ever seen. “Penny for your thoughts?” Jinx asked. You let out a nervous chuckle, turning your head to the side while she lifted a finger and held it against your jawline, turning your attention back to her “I’m too scared to tell you what’s been on my mind.” You admitted, which made her tilt her head, her blue eyes looking at you oh so innocently. “What? Why? Tell me! Please.” Jinx jumbled out quickly, cupping the side of your face.

“Well since you asked so nicely…it’s because you’ve been the one crossing my mind lately.” You mumbled sheepishly. Red filled Jinx’s cheeks, feeling her heartbeat pounding against her chest. And since Jinx is, well herself, she decided to make one of her best impulse decisions yet. Placing her free hand on your other cheek, she pulled you in to connect your lips to hers. A few seconds in, you melted into the kiss, wrapping your arms around her and reciprocating it.

The kiss goes on for minutes, no one bothering to count. Jinx sitting on top of her table while you gently hold her close by her thighs. The beautiful sparks Jinx made for you ran out minutes ago but kissing her felt as if they were still there, made just for the two of you. Only pulling away once your lips felt numb, the feeling of being drunk of each other's kisses radiating into the air. “Does this mean you’ll be my girlfriend?” You chuckled, Jinx going in to kiss the tip of your nose “Only if you’ll be mine.”
