Steb was your patrol partner around Piltover. He was a great fighter with a strong sense of justice and a commanding presence. He was a great enforcer, just and intelligent and kind to the people. He was also your best friend.

You just understood him. He never spoke and stood out in a crowd with his blue skin and gills but that never bothered you. You just understood him. He never needed to speak you always got what he was saying.

You both went out for drinks and walks and played around a lot when you weren't on duty. You were very close. But recently you'd been catching this sparkle in Steb's eyes when he looked at you. This little flutter of his gills. Flick of his ears...this smile...a dark blue blush.

He was beginning to want more than friendship from you and for once he began to struggle with how to communicate this to you.

You two are walking around Piltover off duty watching the sunset together when he decides to try and express his affections to you. He blushes dark blue and his ears flick shyly as he offers you his hand, his eyes communicating the meaning of the gesture and the hope that you'll take his offer.
