Thread: After Game - Ahri(M)/Ezreal (Gau & captain levi)

td wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww tdtd Ezreal had battled countless times on the fields of justice so dismissing a defeat came just as naturally to the young explorer as celebrating a well-earned victory. There would always be another time when he'd be summoned on the Rift map to try his luck against a fresh team of opponents. But what were the odds that he'd be matched with Zed again? Ezreal had been pumped to impress his teammate donning a limited edition skin, but even that extra show of effort seemed useless against his disastrous KDA score. If anything, Ezreal had been proving to his team and most importantly, Zed, that he had been contributing to their defeat by feeding, as if that was his true role. Chin up, Ezreal! There's always next time! Lux chirped. Even his friend's sincere reassurance did little to lift Ezreal's spirits because it wasn't her approval that he secretly desired. Out of the corner of his eyes, he spotted Zed in his banged-up suit of armor, looking pissed beneath his chipped mask. Even if Zed looked like he'd murder any one of his teammates for getting too close, Ezreal couldn't help but sigh dreamily at how focused the assassin looked when he was displeased. If Zed would only look his way, even if it was to murder the young explorer with his glare alone, Ezreal wouldn't have minded their loss for the day. The shame and embarrassment of having proved himself to be a fuck-up in front of Zed lingered even as his teammates warped out of the map, one by one. Knowing how competitive the vengeful assassin could be, Ezreal mentally prepared himself for the worst and possibly the best scolding of his life as he too waited to be transported to the lobby. For a minute or two, he stood in dumbfounded silence in the midst of the Nexus debris, figuring the wait was due to some system malfunction. A minute longer, and Ezreal then knew it wasn't just some ordinary glitch that respawned the minions that went charging in the enemy's direction. Seriously? he muttered to himself, tossing his foam finger to the ground in frustration. If he wasn't going to be transported anytime soon standing near their destroyed Nexus, he thought he might as well follow the minions to see if any of his opponents were also stuck in the system's hiccup. Since there was no rush for Ezreal to level up on a full build of items, he took his time taking the shortest, mid-lane route towards the opposite end of the map. It was eerily quiet, so much so that Ezreal believed he was by his lonesome. So stupid, he muttered to himself, kicking a piece of a fallen minion's helmet along the way. He probably thinks I'm an idiot. In his lovesick stupor, he hadn't noticed that the friendly line of minions had already engaged in battle with the enemy team's, nor did he spot the Gumiho who had very easily trumped him in battle. When he did, Ezreal lowered the TPA brand headphones and stared at his stronger, faster opponent. If the game was over, there was no incentive to fight, was there? Still, he was cautious and held his ground, eyeing his vulpine opponent for any trick shots that might come flying his way. With Zed monitoring him, Ezreal hadn't performed well under pressure, but he wasn't going to be bested again, not this time. You stuck here, too? he called over the clamor of minions fighting, clearing half of the opposing wave with his Mystic Shot. Well, that makes two of us, I guess. But why Ahri of all champions? He would have even appreciated Darius's company a bit more. td
