we’re all so concerned about what demacia is , we forget to ask what it can be .

HEARTSAGLOW ! ind. luxanna crownguard. league of legends. heavily headcanon based, 18+ recommended. crossover friendly. by mochi.

loud & deafening .

“ Huh … ? “

Maybe she did fall asleep over her pile of books and notes , but jolting her awake with a quick & haphazard ruffling of hair knocking headband loose seems so cruel from big brother ! Fingers curl to rub sleep from eyes , heavy gaze struggling to stay open long enough to fully make out his expression .

    WHAT ARE YOU DOING THAT FOR?

    No real reason for it, other than to feel light’s textures. Cool steel, which could hardly contain burning sun beneath brought an interesting feel to it. Touch’s always been something Jinx used to seek comfort, assurance, security. Even in the slightest of ways. Albeit random as it were, THIS GAVE said reassurance needed. Perhaps it’s old memories being dug up, the voices, unwanted feelings toward things that remain out of control. Ghostly smile lingers across cheeks, bringing gloved hand back & took a step back or two.

    ❝ ― Heh… My baaad. Might’a seemed a little creepy o’ me, huh? ❞ Fingers laced behind back, tugging at leather & tilt of the head. Playing self off as innocent. Soft giggle came about, maybe I should get into pajama’s, too.

    ❝ ― Hey, Luxanna? Can we cuddle? ❞

     Never one against physical touch ; no , Luxanna cherished shared embraces between friends & affections from family . She does not deem it strange on Jinx’s behalf , finding strangeness instead in her own reaction . Only now does Lux realize how her own skin prickles under attire , senses heightened to an almost uncomfortable level and suddenly far too aware of how labored breaths had become . 

     “ N - no ! “ A quick shake of head , hand reaching out to give shoulder a squeeze for further reassurance they desire . “ You’re not ! I don’t think that at all . “ Not entirely innocent , she knows ; hands lingered too long , a bit too delicate ‘round curve of breastplate . 

It’s much too close , yet a closeness she does not feel the need to flee from . She’s yet to slip into loungewear for the night , and yet , Jinx entering private quarters has Crownguard too flustered to properly move . Her heart feels like a firework , loud and distracting ; fuses only lit when careful outline begins . They may not see now , but skin underneath burns with the same radiance felt within ; shimmering auroras , dancing with the curiosity and uncertainty crossing mind .

Lux sways in place next to Vayne , an excitement threatening to burst from within ; it may have been all a ploy to get Crownguard off the questions she persisted with , but … she wasn’t complaining ! “ That’s easy ! Ten ! And make it a movie night ! “

    (OH YES, I DO LOVE MAKIN’ FRIENDS! JINX NEEEVER LETS ME PLAY WITH AAANYONE ‘N IT’S SO DISHEARTENING–) ❝ ― OH can it, Flounder! Alls ya’s gonna do is EAT ‘EM! Goin’ CHOMP, CHOMP, CHOMP– ❞ Giggles emit from loose cannon as they’re tugged along. To them, rocket launcher gave a frown & a huff; a puff! He’d probably blow your house down, given the chance. Blue, now walking next to Demacian, swung connected hands back & forth. Despite the overwhelming URGE to blow up innocents, to get big sisters & his girlfriend’s attention… Lux currently retained it. It’s a silly thing, feeling so FULL. A lack of despair in one’s heart. Now so suddenly cluttered with something positive, love was it? They’ve not known that. Was it the same LOVE Vi once had, or even passed Father shown through all those years? Pfft, nah. Who knows if blonde even had mutual feeling… despite the multiple displays of affection. 

    HOPEFULLY IT’S NOT A DIRTY TRICK!

    ❝ ― Yanno, Lux? There ain’t any ponds or anything in Zaun. There’s a whole BUNCH Topside though. I think it’s so UNCOOL of those assholes to not share any of the pretty shit with us. Don’tcha think? Like, HOW SELFISH!! ❞ Lips purse again, now misfit’s getting heated. ❝ ― They really wonder why I blew up the council! Should’a played nice, not been so damn greedy… and… argh! ❞

     “ Y’know , if he’s hungry , maybe we could feed him something else ! “ Lux tilts head , sunny locks shifting against her back with every step they take . Free hand raises to grasp hair , knotted in fist to wrap ‘round shoulder and tuck behind ears instead . When they catch up , coming close to side , Luxanna wraps both hands ‘round Jinx’s grasp instead , a tug close to chest to lead impishly along . “ Do you think he’d eat prismatic barriers ? “ Much healthier than people , surely ...

     “ Why don’t we just visit them on our own ? “ A smile , as if she’s no doubt they could . “ I’m sure it’d be alright , if we didn’t get into any trouble . Oooh , we could have a picnic ! There’s gardens in Piltover , right ? We could go there ! Or ... maybe that’d be too close ? We could always go a little outside the city ... “

@feathercall​  asked   .   ‘  i sense magic in you — didn't know that demacia let their mages run around without chains. ‘

     “ Ah ... “ A strained giggle , forced & unnatural . Xayah cannot know how talk of chains lashes ‘round her heart , nor know shame she has felt since years hoping to silence magic , shatter a beacon buried deep within very core . It had dimmed some , then . Burned , then .
