you're the best thing that's ever happened to her. truly, you are.

akali's never felt safer than she feels with you. her entire heart feels like it could burst because she knows there's no need to rush, there's no need to worry, because you won't go anywhere.

the l word was something she had yet to say. she loves you, and she knows you love her, but that's all she needs. she doesn't need you to say it. she feels it in the morning when your fingertips trace the lines of her tattoo that covers her back and biceps. she feels it in the way your lips slot together so perfectly with hers, in the way your hand pulls at her hair when she's between your legs.

akali feels it when you're still there every morning and night. she feels it when she presses a kiss to your forehead every morning before she leaves to patrol the area for noxians, in the way you grab her wrist to pull her back into a kiss when she goes to leave, she feels it when you fight over something insignificant.

she feels it in everything with you.

which brings her to today, with her laying under a tree, your back against her chest, completely dozed off on her. akali's fingers carded through your hair, a gentle smile on her face as she just stares at you for a moment. she loves you, she knows she does. but there's no plan to rush, no need to, when she knows you won't go anywhere.
