Chapter 28

~~~~~

POV: Ahri

Part 1.

I wake up in my bed. My mind ran wild, to the point that I couldn't control my own thoughts. The only way I could sleep last night was double the recommended dose of a potent sleep aid I got from my doctor for this time of year. Just to keep myself together I took three pills of my suppressants instead of just one like normal. I don't know what's happening to me...it's more then just being in heat....maybe I just don't want to admit that it could be more than it. As I laid there in my bad, my blankets wrapped around me as my body shivered, my body, mind, and instincts fighting my consciousness, resisting against me.

Before my mind makes me do something else, I get to my vanity and grab my prescription bottle with my suppressants. I look at the pills inside and see that there were only four left inside. Worry filled me but I had no choice but to take the rest. I toss the pills in my mouth and swallow. I look at myself in the mirror, looking at my reflection. An almost noticeable glow came from my eyes, after a few seconds the glow went away.

"Just today Ahri....make it through this day at least..." I tell myself.

My mind started to go quiet now as the uncontrollable thoughts began to disappear. I took a deep breath then hung my head. Sadly for me, I can't get any more suppressants. I went through a 30 day supply in two weeks...I sigh. I plop onto my bed and hugged one of my pillows...I always hated this feeling back before I could get suppressants...yet this is a stronger feeling then that. Back then it was easy to control myself, now...it's like trying to hold back a hungry predator.

My fox ears twitch at the sound of foot steps, there's a knock at my door which makes me instinctively shoot up from my bed "Ahri, are you awake in there?" I hear (Y/n) say from the other side

"I'm awake (Y/n)" I replied like I was happy to hear his voice.

I then instinctively covered my mouth as I didn't mean for it to come across that way. My fox tail wagged on my bed with a gentle sway and my fox ears twitching vigorously.

He lets out a chuckle before replying "Alright, Well, breakfast will be waiting for you when your ready. Gotta leave in a few hours" He tells me through the door before walking away.

I put my face into my pillows and screamed to myself "Why did I have to reply like that!?!, what's wrong with me!?!?"

I sigh before hugging my pillow once more. I started to think that I wouldn't even be able to make it through today...let alone tomorrow....There was then a knock at my door and my ears perk up, some how I could tell that it wasn't (Y/n) at the door so I had laid my head back down.

"Gumiho" I hear Evelynn's voice says.

"Eve?" I question.

"Is it alright if I come in?" Evelynn asks.

"S-sure...come in" I replied.

Evelynn opens the door and sees me face down on my bed "My, my, look at how far you've fallen" She teased as she closed the door.

"Quiet you" I reply back. I turned my head towards her to look at her.

"How many did you take?" She questions while crossing her arms.

"Four" I state to her.

"It really is bad. How many do you have left?" She then says.

"None" I reply then paused for a moment before continuing "Can't get anymore right now...I went through a 30 day supply in a two weeks, Eve....I was lucky enough that the ones I had left over from last year worked for as long as they did"

Evelynn walks towards my bed then sits on the edge of it. She pats my back "Can you get through today?" Evelynn asks me.

"I have to Eve. I have no choice...." I looked away from her before sighing "I took four....there's no way I can mess up...I can't afford to mess up...and what about tomorrow?"

"We'll worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Think about getting through today Gumiho" She tells me.

"I'll try Eve" I reply.

Evelynn stands up "Do hurry up in getting ready, Our body guard has breakfast waiting for you"

"I heard" I say while sitting up.

She smirks I know you did" Evelynn says before walking out.

I sigh "Only one day Ahri. Worry about today, leave the worry of tomorrow for tomorrow" I tell my self, trying to stay positive.

Part 2.

(Y/n) and I were in my car, it was a sports car, that's all I really knew about it. If I wanted to know more about cars I'd as Evelynn about she has like ten of them. (Y/n) was driving, I asked if he could, I didn't feel comfortable with how I've been lately. We are on our way to the location of my meet and greet, I stayed quiet most of the ride and (Y/n) noticed.

"Anything I can do for you? You've been quiet" He asks me.

As I almost blurted out a response, I bit my tongue to stop myself. I thought out what I was going to say before replying " N-no, there isn't anything" I say.

"Are you sure?" He asks again.

"Yes...I'm sure" I replied.

I looked out the window, I gripped the seat, I knew what I was about to blurt out, I can't let my body win...not today...My mind was fighting me too, thoughts trying to seep into my mind. (Y/n) pulls into a parking lot and parks the car.

"We're here" He states then looked my way "I knew the name of this place sounded familiar, I know the guy who owns this place"

"Really?" I questioned.

"Yup, let's get in through the back, front's filled with fans already" He tells me.

"If you insist" I say to him.

(Y/n) pulls in behind the building, as we did, we see a built man standing at the back of the building near the exit. He a definable feature about him was sure his long mustache that draped down on each side. He sees the car and downs the rest of the energy drink he was  drinking before tossing it into the dumpster. (Y/n) parks the car and as the man looks at us he smirks, I notice (Y/n) smirk as well.

(Y/n) looks my way then nods with assurance before opening the drivers door. I exit the passenger doo, I watch as (Y/n) and the man opened their arms out wide.

"Drrraavceeeen!" (Y/n) shouts out and the man calls out his (Y/n)'a name as they hugged one another.

"Man, it's been some time" The man, who I some is named Draven, says as they separate from the hug "So this is your new gig? Chauffeur pop-stars?"

(Y/n) let's out a chuckle, that chuckle made me feel things inside... "Chauffeur? No-no, I didn't leave just to drive rich people around. I was a IT guy, now, I'm a bodyguard"

"Must be a sweet gig" Draven states "Snazzy suit come with it?"

"Of course" (Y/n) says then questioned "Your shop's still holding strong, guess your not still in are ya?"

"Yeah, left it behind, body ain't what it used to be. Still a ladies man if I want to though" Draven says before letting out a laugh.

As I watched them talk, it felt, weird, I guess it's because I've never seen (Y/n) talk to someone that isn't one of us. Never seen him talk to any of his friends or even relatives. It got me curious, we don't really know much about (Y/n) outside what he's told us and him as our bodyguard.

"Umm, excuse me....(Y/n)" I speak up.

"What is it Ahri?" He asks me.

"How do you know this man?"  I ask him, hesitant but also curious.

(Y/n) chuckles once more "We used to work together"

Draven smiled and slapped (Y/n) on his back then laughed a bit "Yeah, and he was one of the best"

Draven's response confused me before I asked "(Y/n), why would you leave a job you were good at for some IT job?" I say.

"Complications happened, I needed to get out of there" He stated as he shook his head "Let's head inside before your fans find you back here"

"Agreed, they're like ants to a picnic" Draven adds.

Draven goes to the back door and enters then holds it open. (Y/n) motions for me to enter first and I do. (Y/n) then enters after me. Draven gets in front of us and leads us through. The back of a record store was more or less what you'd expect I guess.

"You're table is set up over there"  Draven says as we walked onto the store floor. He then points to a foldable table with a chair behind it "Sorry it ain't much, probably isn't what you were expecting being a popular pop star and all"

"It's no problem" I say while waving my hands in front of me in defense "It will do, wasn't expecting anything fancy or a red carpet laid out for me"

"I mean, I got a red carpet if you want it? Well, it's a door mat but still, it's red and you walk on it" Draven states while shrugging his shoulders.

"N-n-no I don't need any-" I say before being cut off by Draven letting out a bellowing laugh.

"Haha, I'm kiddin' with ya lassie" Draven says while laughing.

I felt nervous and flustered, (Y/n) then lays a hand on my shoulder with a smile which comforted me "Don't worry about him, he's got an odd sense of humor"

"I see..." I say while trailing off. I then tray to start a conversation so things didn't seem awkward to me "So Draven, how do you keep business  afloat? You sell records, cds , and cassettes?"

"It's a novelty feel nowadays" Draven says as he walked around a little "People are starting to want to hear music the way it was intended, whether it be from a vinyl, tape or disc. May it be because of the staleness streaming music can become or the feel of slipping a disc into an 8-track and sorting through or the click of putting a cassette into a walkman or the old timyness of putting a vinyl on a record player"

"Wow, you're pretty passionate about older music" I say as the mood of the room started to feel more comfortable to be.

"Yeah I am, but don't get me wrong, some of the newer music that comes out is great too, there are some companies that make vinyls of modern albums" Draven says passionately before it got cold "One thing I ain't touching is some of that newer stuff people call rap, I mean, it's gibberish half the time. Couldn't pay me a million dollars to listen to that shit"

"Akali may agree with you to a degree, or kill you for insulting it" I say.

"I'd like to see her try, ninja or not" Draven says with a laugh.

"I'm guessing you know who K/DA is then?" (Y/n) questions.

"K-pop is a guilty pleasure for a metal head like me" Draven says with a toothy smile then claps once "Alright, Let's hurry and get this shin dig started shall we. I'd rather not have crazy hormonal teens and adults breaking my door down and lynch me for not letting them meet their goddess on time"

"I don't think my fans would go to that extreme" I say to him, both Draven and (Y/n) cock an eyebrow up.

"Are you sure about that?" (Y/n) questions me which fills me with uncertainty.

"Okay, maybe a little out of touch with how dedicated our fans can be at times" I say with nervousness.

"Less dedicated I'd use the word obsessed" (Y/n) states.

"Our fans can't be that bad, I mean, there have been those few extremest ones but they all can't be that bad....right?"

{Time Skip}

The meet and greet was going swimmingly. No incidents have occurred yet and most of the fans are great. I'm sure (Y/n) would say they are putting up their best act for their goddess or something. With (Y/n) at my side, standing silently, I'd say that most certainly affected the behavior of the fans.

"I mean, wouldn't you want to be on your best behavior when meeting your goddess, especially when she has her loyal hound at her side?" I thought as I signed another picture for a fan then caught my self "Ahh!, why did I explain it like that?!?...."

The next fan in line walks up to the table. It was a girl probably only a few years younger then me and (Y/n).

"Omg, I'm so happy to finally meet you Ahri!" She says happily.

"Likewise, if it wasn't for fans like you, we wouldn't be were we are" I say with a smile.

"Would you mind autographing my purse?" She asks as she sets her purse on the table.

I wasn't looking, but I knew (Y/n)'s gaze fell onto the girl and the purse. Looking it over for anything out of the ordinary. I autograph the girls purse. The girls smiles brightly.

"Thank you, thank you" She says.

"No problem" I reply.

She then leaned for water and whispered to me "So hey, I got a question, is your bodyguard single?"

"NO!, he's mine!" I thought unintentionally.

"Well, for the most part" I say.

The girl leans back up and moves towards (Y/n) a bit and I watched as she does "Hey handsome, wanna meet up later?" The girl asks (Y/n).

"You won't be going anywhere with him you Harlot!!" I thought again unintentionally "Shut up horny me!"

I go to say something that was a lot nicer then my moody thoughts keep forcing me to think. As if (Y/n) knew I was going to say something, he raises his fingers a bit as his hands were at his sides.

"Sorry, but you aren't my type" He states.

"Yes!, reject her!" I think "Shut up other me!"

"I can be your type" The girl says.

"I like girls who can see what they are worth. Handing yourself to anyone is not that" (Y/n) says with honesty that was brutal.

The girl takes a step back like her whole world just crashed in front of her, she then runs out of the store. (Y/n) looks towards me and gives me a reassuring smile. I couldn't help but smile back at him. His smile is infectious and hits me in ways I don't think anyone has ever made me feel.

"Alright other me, maybe we can go at this a different way"

{Time Skip}

It was the end of the day and the meet and greet was over. I was off to the side as Draven and (Y/n) were talking. I was stuck in my own little world right now. After hearing him say what he did, the intrusive thoughts weren't there, not that my instinct to lunge at him hasn't let up, but at least my mind is somewhat in control. My instinct and consensual thoughts coming to an agreement, that doing what I'm doing won't get me with (Y/n), neither forcing him into it or being shy about it.

"Ahri" I hear (Y/n) says and I look and see him standing in front of me.

"Yes?" I question.

"Ready to go?" He asks me.

"Yeah" I say.

(Y/n) and I go out the front door of the store. The sun was setting on Piltover and darkness consumed the sky, lit with bright dots of stars. We walked around the store to the car. (Y/n) opens the passenger door for me and gives me a smile. I smile back then entered the car and he closes the door. (Y/n) walks around the front of the car then gets into the drivers seat.

"Now's my chance"

"Hey (Y/n)" I say to get his attention as he started the car.

"Yeah? What is it?" He replies as he looks my way.

"Let's go out and eat, I'm a bit hungry at the moment" I tell him.

"Are you sure? I'm sure Kai'sa has dinner ready for us" He says.

"Take the hint (Y/n)!" I thought "Be forward and direct Ahri"

"Well, I'd like to just spend some time with you, just you. Get to know more about you, as more then just our bodyguard" I tell him, a small thought in the back of my mind ready to react if he rejects the offer.

However there was no need for that thought as it gets erased from existence when a smile appears on his face and he lets out a small chuckle "You should of just started with that Ahri, I know a place we can go. Let me message The girls first before we go"

"YES!!, It's a date!"

~~~~~
Hi everyone, sorry for it taking so long to write this chapter. I tried to be a little different then other stories and I thought it would be a unique idea to try to write Ahri being in heat from her POV, her dealing with her inner struggles compared to other books where we see just her going after the Protagonist. That's kinda why it took a while to get this chapter out. I'm a guy and am not part fox who goes in to heat.
