Hi there!

I could use some insight on how to write lemons, so for now this is the opening chapter. Reviews are appreciated :).

"Okay...so let me get this straight." Ekko began.

" 'Kay."

"You want to go on an adventure throughout Runeterra..."

"Uh huh."

"To bang every hot girl in the League..."

"Mhm."

"...For fun."

"Yep." Ezreal nodded his head for the fourth time. "That's exactly right."

The two sat on the outskirts of Zaun, swinging their legs and observing the morning sunrise through a window in the roof of the underground.

Runeterra was in peaceful times now; strife and conflict no longer plagued the land, however somethings would never change. Demacia and Noxus were no longer at war, but they still held a bitter rivalry. The Freljord tribes had ceased their needless violence and instead chose to agree to disagree(save for Lissandra who was frozen inside a block of her own ice for centuries to come). The Shrimans had come to accept Azir as their emperor, and with their support Xerath was once more chained under the earth. The Shadow Isles, which had once corrupted Bilgewater seas and ports with its Harrowings, had mysteriously stopped. No one knew what to do, but one brave sailor finally decided to investigate. The Isles were slowly being returned to their former glory, Maokai's efforts were succeeding. Even the void creatures which had once haunted Shuriman sands were now nowhere to be found. Things were looking up.

As for Piltover and Zaun, it seemed that they had reached a mutual agreement. Some Zaunites were still a nuisance(such as Viktor, who was in a stable prison), but others agreed to help the Pilties keep the streets of both cities clean. Zaun now had much better living conditions as there were now two cities of progress in Runeterra.

A year earlier, Ekko would have never accepted this. But his hatred for Piltover was suppressed once he met Ezreal. The two shared similar interests in progress and adventure and became fast friends. Now they hung out on a regular basis. But this was certainly a new development.

"...And what exactly made you decide to do this?" Ekko asked.

"Well, it's a long story. But I'll try to explain." Ezreal cleared his throat.

Yesterday

Ezreal sat in a Bilgewater tavern across from someone in a black hat and robe, weaving a playing card through his fingers.

"So if I win..." Ezreal began, "You say you'll share with me the location of the Elixir of Uloa?"

Twisted Fate simply nodded without looking up.

"Sweet, I got this in the bag!" Ezreal smirked. Malcolm Graves, who was also watching the exchange, simply clicked his tongue.

"Don't be writin' checks your body can't cash, boy. This man's a god at poker."

Ezreal scoffed. "I know what I'm doing. I've succeeded at tons of way more dangerous endeavors before, how hard can beating a guy in a card game be?"

"You should know..." TF interjected. "It's customary in poker to bet something else for your opponent."

Ezreal raised an eyebrow. He supposed that was fair. "Alright, what do you want?"

"That gauntlet of yours is mighty pretty."

Ezreal looked down at the talisman on his hand. He'd almost died getting it, and it had saved his life more times than he could count. But at the same time, he couldn't just back down from a challenge.

"Alright, I'm in."

Graves scoffed. "You're awfully reckless."

"Trust me, Malcolm. I can win this." Ezreal smiled as he was dealt his hand.

"I can't believe I lost!"

Graves chuckled. "'Told you, didn't I?"

TF outstretched a hand. "Well played, kiddo, but them's the rules. Hand it over."

Ezreal sighed, pulling off the gauntlet and placing it in the Card Master's open palm. "Careful, please." He sat down and sulked.

TF was about to try it on when he looked at Ezreal. He shook his head, unable to resist. "Hey kid."

Ezreal perked his head up. "Yeah?"

"Do you want it back?"

A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. "Of course!"

"Then how 'bout a little wager, eh?"

Ezreal's smile faded and was replaced by a quizzical expression. "Already?"

TF shrugged. "I'm a bettin' man; it's what I do. Now c'mere." Ezreal leaned in, and he whispered the wager into the explorer's ear. Once he was done, Ezreal backed up with wide eyes. "You're kidding, right?"

"Dead serious. If you can do that, you'll have my mad respect."

"And if I don't do it?"

TF held up the gauntlet. "Then I just keep this. That simple." Plus you're the explorer type, so gettin' around should be a piece of cake for you."

He was certainly right about that. While Ezreal definitely wanted to try, he wasn't sure if he'd actually be able to accomplish it. Either way, if he could at least get a few of them it might actually be a great deal of fun. "Alright, it's a bet."

TF smiled with his mouth, but his eyes were(as always) masked by shadow. "Good. Come back here once you've gotten 'em all, or as many as you think possible. I'll judge if it's enough."

"You bet your gauntlet on a poker game? How could you be that stupid?!" Ekko shook his head.

Ezreal threw his hands up. "I don't know, okay? What I do know is this is the only way to get it back. What do I do, where do I start?"

"Alright." Ekko stood up and dusted himself off. "If you're gonna do this, I have one condition to place on you."

"Which is?"

"Jinx is off limits."

Ezreal frowned. Not that he had anything against the condition, but Ekko had told him that he was over Jinx. "Oh, does someone still have a little crush?" He teased.

Ekko ran a hand through his mohawk. "Forget about that, okay? I'm saying this because she's dangerous."

"So are most of the girls I'm planning on hooking up with."

"Except none of them are certifiably insane. Just trust me, dude." Ekko insisted.

Ezreal nodded his affirmation. "Alright lover boy, I accept your condition. But where do I start?"

Ekko ignored his shameless jabbing at his affections and pondered that question. "Who'd you say were the two you used to date again?"

"Caitlyn. And Lux."

"Right...let's stay far away from them for now. So no Demacia, Piltover or Zaun...how about some Noxian chicks, huh? I've heard they've got some class A prostitutes."

Ezreal shook his head and smiled, standing up to join his friend. "Very funny. There's tons of other places I could start too, you know."

"Alright, then we'll think of them on the way."

"On the way where?"

"Away from here!" He clapped Ezreal on the back. "Don't get me wrong, I love Zaun, but I've always wanted to go on an adventure with you. Travel the world, meet new people, and most importantly find new ways to cheat death." He held up his Z-Drive. "For science, of course."

Ezreal smiled. "And just who said you could come along?"

"I did. Don't you know every guy needs a wingman to get a girl?"

"That's true. Fine, you can come." Ekko fist pumped. "Awesome!"

The next day, the two would embark on a very...interesting quest.

Alright, feel free to suggest female League champs to pair with our favorite Prodigal Explorer and I'll see you all in the next chapter!
