A short story that got stuck in my head
: Stop it Zoe, you're ruining my chances with Lux!
: Because you should leave her.
: I don't want to leave her, Zoe, get it in your thick skull!
: What did you say? It only matters to you that I'm happy?
: That's not--
: Is what I just heard true, Sunshine?
(flustered): No, n--
: Yes. It is whether you like it or not. Now I suggest you give us some privacy.
(mouths with an angry frown): Don't listen to her!
: Would you repeat aloud?
(looks from one to the other): Repeat what?
(staring at his feet): Nothing...
(raises chin and frowns, furious): You know what? I'll give you some privacy. But we're done, Ezreal.
: No, wait...!
(blocks his way with her arm): Don't forget our little deal, Ezreal. - raises eyebrows
(glares at her): Raaaahhhh! - and slams his fist against a nearby wall
On the next day, during one of their conversations (or rather, monologues), sitting on a hill overlooking the city
: ...And being the good girlfriend I am I made sure Lux would be sent as far away as possible to protect you from her bad influences--
(suddenly leaps to his feet): You did what? Why would you send her away you...you...
: Oh, don't be mad Ezi, I'm just looking out for you. She must have left by now anyway.
: What?! No! - starts towards the city
(glares at his back): Ezreal. Where do you think you're going?
(stops but doesn't face her): I'm going where my heart longs for. And you know what. I'm through with you and your deal. - starts towards the city again
(to herself): We'll see about that.
: Proceeds to run and Arcane Shift throughtout the entire capital, completely forgetting he's in Demacia, making everyone stare at him in disbelief. Finally arrives at the Crownguard estate and gets greeted by
.
: Well, well, well. If it isn't the biggest troublemaker around Valoran.
(panting): I need to talk to your sister...
: I don't think you could do any worse than yesterday and I don't think she'd want to see you. I believe you know why.
: No, it's not because I want it. I mean her of all people no harm and you know it. Please, Garen.
: stares him down with brows furrowed
: Please! - falls on his knees - I beg you! Let me see her one last time!
stares at him unrelenting, but then sees the tears glittering at the corners of his eyes and reconsiders
: Fine. But be quick, we have places to be.
(gets up and gives him a hug): Oh, thank you! Thank you so much!
(pats him on the back with a smile): You little grasshopper.
: Runs inside towards Lux's room.
knocks on the door
: It's open!
(carefully opens the door and enters): Hi Lux...
(glares at him while sitting on her bed): You...! What are you doing here? Who let you in?
(flustered): Garen did. Ah... Look, about yesterday... It's not what you think...
: It's never what I think, am I right? Somehow I never get it right. So why don't you lie to me again? Like the last, what? Two dozen times?
(grimly staring at the floor): I know. I lied to you. Every time. And now I want to tell you the truth. For real.
(crosses her hands and continues to glare at him): I'm listening. Let's see what you're going to blurt out this time.
: It's true I got you into all that trouble. But... I know you won't believe me, but I was forced to. I... I had to make a deal with Zoe to keep you safe, but it involved all of that... Or it could've gotten much worse... I put you through so much to protect you, but... Maybe the worst I put you through is the fact I never opposed Zoe even in front of you, even if it's just words... I realize now that I should've... And... I apologize for it.
(expression softened): So you're telling me it was all to protect me? Ezreal...
: I couldn't deal with her myself. So I thought it was for the best. But I was wrong. I want to mend things between us.
: An apology would be a good start.
: But, but...
: You just apologized to my floor.
(chuckles nervously): Er, right. - raises his eyes to meet hers
(blushing deeply): I apologize to you. For everything, Rainbows. But I've to tell you something else.
: What is it?
: The deal... I broke it. And knowing Zoe she's mad. So mad she will turn her threats into actions.
: We have to tell my brother. He and his men can protect us.
: Err... That... May not be a possibility...
: But why? You did some nasty stuff, but nothing beyond mending...
: It's not that... I, uh... I used my gauntled's magic to get here on time...
stares at him in confusion
: In the middle of the crowds...?
(gasps): You did what?!
(from down the hall): EZ-RE-AL!
: (nervous smile): Oopsie...
Now that I read the rules in more detail I think a "wrong board alert" is coming my way :/
