Words I Wasn’t Able To Tell You ✧⁠*⁠。

CHAPTER 5

Synopsis: You were transported to another universe along with Ekko and Heimerdinger. Let’s just say that you didn’t expect Sevika to be your close friend in this universe, especially after she betrayed you.

Content: mu!Reader x au!Sevika, self insert : p, friends to lovers, sfw (i’ll just edit this shit if i forget something) 1st au so plz be nice 🙏

You and Sevika gathered objects that seemed like it would be a good help at recreating the anomaly.

You’re quite surprised that Sevika still hasn’t questioned you. You’ve acted weird towards her since the start of the day

How come no questions?

—

“Just in time my dear!” Heimerdinger greets you and Sevika. You had a hard time locating Powder’s place since you had no idea where to find her in the main universe. “I thought we were late, Professor. ‘Cause this girl keeps spacing out!” Sevika jokes. You just chuckle awkwardly, and you walk towards Powder’s and Ekko’s direction.

You see Ekko showing the crystals to Powder, and you notice Powder’s expression when she sees it. Her curious expression turns into disbelief.

You were interrupted when you heard heavy footsteps from behind you, it’s Sevika. “And what are you babbling about?” Sevika asks Powder and Ekko. “O-Oh, we’re just looking at these..” Ekko walks up to Sevika, he shows the crystals to her.

“Oh, that?”

Ekko nods and puts down the container holding the crystals on the nearby table. You look at Sevika and she’s still holding the box filled with the objects you need for the anomaly, “You can just put it there, Sev.” you gesture your hands to the nearby table, where Ekko puts down the crystals. Sevika obligates and she lets the box fall down on the table.

“Sev?” Sevika repeats what you just addressed her as.

“Is there something wrong? You don’t like it?” you ask her.

“No, no! In fact— I do like it.”

You smile softly at Sevika’s response and you shake your head.

“Let’s get right into it!” Heimerdinger shouts.

—

Well damn.

These inversions that Jayce had created are difficult to begin with. You place the notebook that Ekko and Heimerdinger filled with information about the anomaly above your head and rub it against your head. It’s one way to put the knowledge in you. You groan out of frustration and put back the notebook on the table, “Why is this so hard!” you complain to yourself.

“And why are you rubbing that against your head?” you look back at the person who spoke, just to see Sevika. She settles down to the chair beside you and offers some food.

“Who knew inventing something could be this hard?” Sevika looks at you weirdly and says, “I thought that this is the best part of inventing to you?”

Your eyes shot up from realization, but you came up with an excuse. “Yeah, but this is a last minute project.” you roll back your eyes sarcastically. Sevika laughs at your response, she moves the food she brought to you closer.

“Eat up, maybe that’ll help you.” she uses a fork to pick up the food, and she moves it close to your face. You move away from it and you chuckle.

“Alright, you win!” you raise your hands and grab the fork from Sevika.

—

“My head is starting to hurt from this,” you state while massaging your forehead. You still can’t figure out whatever the fuck Jayce created, why does this have to be that hard? The others aren’t happy as well, another wave of groans hits your ears when they fail to accomplish what you’re attempting to do. They took a break from building, and they helped you.

But they soon went back to building when Sevika came back with another box of materials and tools.

Sevika stretches her limbs and yawns, “I need to start getting paid for this.” she mutters to herself and walks up to the couch where you are sitting and drops herself.

You turn to look at Sevika, even though she isn’t helping with the actual solving and building, she’s tired from the constant going in and out to gather everything that will be needed for the project. Sevika sighs and she lets herself get comfortable.

“Shake me if you need anything, okay?” you give Sevika a thumbs up and she goes to sleep.

—

It only took you a few sighs, groans, whines, and complaints before finally getting the hang of this. After all that, Sevika is still asleep.

She’s snoring like she hasn’t slept in a decade. The others are complaining about Sevika’s snoring, saying that it’s too “distracting”. You hate to agree but it is distracting, it is the reason why you groaned most of the time while doing equations. What does she even do here?

She finally stops snoring about a minute after you groan, it’s like she can hear you. You joke to yourself that Sevika’s senses aren’t resting, so she stopped snoring when she heard you groan.

You giggle for a bit before coming closer to her face, she looks gorgeous.

You tuck the loose hair strands behind her ear and you just stare at her.

Sevika has those blue marks on the left side of her face and neck because of the explosion, and it only took you an eternity before noticing that she doesn’t have those scars in this universe. Curious, you touch the left side of Sevika’s face. She feels so warm.

Of course, ’cause she is alive.

Sevika leans into your touch causing you to freeze at the spot.

She wraps her hand around your wrist, bringing it even more closer to her face. Your hand is now rubbing against her soft cheeks.

“H-How long have you been awake?” your lips almost tremble as you ask her. She ignores your question, still smothering your hands all over her face.

“Okay, I need to get back to work,” you say as you snatch your wrist away from Sevika.

—

“How come the first part of your work is wrong and the last parts are right, my dear?” you already knew that you screwed up when Heimerdinger furrows his eyebrows. “I can’t seem to— maybe I’m just not capable of doing that.” you sit on the ground while you palm your face.

“I don’t know, I’m terribly sorry Professor—” You stop apologizing when you hear Ekko and Powder gasp. You immediately run to them.

“We can actually start building now!” Powder shouts excitedly.

“Wait, what? You guys haven’t started the actual thing?” you almost scream.

—

You cover your eyes when a blinding light comes out through the canister. The energy of it causes the objects around you to shake, the others almost falling off their respective places.

Then, zap!

There it is, the anomaly.

Ekko leans closer to the canister holding the anomaly.

“It’s so small.”

“It’s the actual thing, but you know... smaller..?” you mutter.

“Golly, we’ve done it..” Heimerdinger says with a surprised look on his face.

“Halfway there.” Ekko backs up and pulls on the cord.

Heimerdinger yelps after the tool he’s holding falls off his hand out of nowhere.

“So, what does it do?” Powder asks tiredly.

“Uh..”

Ekko grunts and pulls the cord again.

Heimerdinger yelps again, and Powder asks the same question

“So, what does it do?”

“You just asked me that.”

“No, I didn’t.” Powder responds. Ekko sighs before speaking.

“I’m too tired for games.” He pulls the cord again.

“No, I didn’t.”

Ekko looks at Powder, then at the z-drive. It finally dawns on him what’s happening. Astonished by what’s happening he shouts “It’s a time loop!”

“Huh, a time loop?”

Ekko pulls the cord. Heimerdinger repeated what he said, but this time, in synchronicity with Ekko.

“Huh—”

“A time loop.”

You and the others gape at what Ekko said. “You’re going back in time!” Powder says excitedly.

“Gadzooks, how did you stumble upon that?” Heimerdinger’s face is still painted with surprise. Ekko walks up to the chalkboard, he shows the rune that he just carved. “I was playing with inversions on Jayce’s acceleration runes—” Ekko looks at you, “and yours as well.” he smiles.

“I did that, wow?” Ekko hums in response and Heimerdinger checks on the chalkboard. Powder looks in between you, Ekko, and Heimerdinger. Realizing that there’s more to what’s happening. “How far did you go?” Heimerdinger questions Ekko.

“I don’t know, a second?” Powder throws a clock to Ekko and suggests, “Try going back further!”

“Already?” you ask.

“She’s right. But take it slow, lad. We wouldn’t want to push a new invention too far, too quickly.” Heimerdinger warns them. Ekko only scoff.

“I’m excited!” you exclaim.

Ekko pulls the cord again, in a series of jump cuts. He pulls the cord further each time and measures the time. He nods when it works.

“One.”

“Hey guys, came back with more—”

“Two.”

“Three.”

“Gadzooks!”

“Four.”

When Ekko gets to five seconds, the anomaly inside the canister becomes unstable. The energy it contains zaps around them dangerously.

Then blam!

Heimerdinger violently disintegrates in front of Ekko. Fur and viscera cover Ekko’s face, he watched with horror on his face. When Ekko returns to the loop point, Heimerdinger has come back to life.

“Hey guys, came back with more stuff!” Sevika shouts as she enters Powder’s hideout.

“The limit is four seconds”, Ekko says the grim news. “Are you certain, my boy? What were the indicators?” Ekko witnessing Heimerdinger’s hairy death is already an enough indicator.

“Trust me. It’s four seconds.” Ekko marks the clock for up to four seconds and drops his body on the ground. “What’s with the only four seconds thing?” Sevika asks.

“Amazing!” you shriek.

“We could show it off at the party.” Powder suggests. Ekko looks at her with dismay, “We aren’t done..” he says with disappointment.

Powder could only sigh as she removed dirt on Ekko’s face, “Please go change before the party.” and she left.

Sevika drops down a box filled with another set of tools and materials. Heimerdinger happily looks through the stuff Sevika has brought and he thanks her, “Thank you so much, Miss Sevika. It’d be a lot more harder if we did this without you!” Sevika scratches her head, unable to accept appreciation properly.

“Hey, Sev. I think you should change too for the party.” you say, Sevika ‘tsk’ and chuckles before speaking, “You got it Ma’am!” she ruffles your hair and leaves.

“I think I might know how to give it a boost.”

“A boost?” you and Ekko say in unison.

“A momentary upgrade, if you will.”

“That’s great, when do we start? you ask Heimerdinger.

“You two can start by attending your party.”

“Huh?”

“One’s thoughts are more easily gathered in isolation.”

“And what’s the point of a device like this, if you don’t enjoy the time you have?“

Words I Wasn’t Able To Tell You ✧⁠*⁠。

CHAPTER 4

Content: mu!Reader x au!Sevika, self insert : p, friends to lovers, sfw (i’ll just edit this shit if i forget something) 1st au so plz be nice 🙏

“You think you can recreate the anomaly with these?” Heimerdinger says while he inspects the leftover pieces of hextech crystals.

“That’s the theory.”

“Inconceivable”

“So you’d help us?” you ask Heimerdinger while chewing on your food.

“I meant that quite literally, I don’t believe this can be done.”

Ekko scoots forward in his seat and looks at Powder.

Powder sees him in her peripheral vision and also looks back at him.

Ekko smiles at her.

She looks away angrily.

Ekko’s left alone with disappointment painted on his face.

“Tampering with the arcane never ends well, lad.”

“Is there a way for us to make this work?” you pointed with your fork at the bits of hextech crystals.

“Let’s.. do more attempts later, when Ekko finally apologizes to Miss Powder.” Heimerdinger jokes and taps Ekko lightly. Ekko looks at him with a horrified face.

“H-how’d you know?” Ekko stops moving and questions Heimerdinger.

“I know the look of a wasted lad,” Heimerdinger said with a wink and looked more into the crystals.

You laugh and hit Ekko lightly on his shoulder, “Now, what did you do?” you ask Ekko, emphasizing the last word. You eat the last piece of your food and drink the whole cup of water.

“Pissed her off.” Ekko looks down and plays with the cup in his hand.

“Sheesh pissed mine off too,” you say sarcastically.

“Vi’s dead.” Ekko states dreadfully.

You are curious about Vi in this universe, but you never expected a bombshell of a news about her.

“WHAT?” you ask loudly, you grab the attention of the other customers and you apologize to them.

You lower your voice to a whisper and you ask Ekko again, “How?”

“I thought Ji— Powder killed Vi, but it’s all because of the tip I gave them.” you nod your head slowly while listening to Ekko.

“The explosion, remember that?”

“Oh, the apartment at Topside? Yeah, I remember that. Vi died because of the explosion?”

“Yeah, that.”

You hum quietly while nodding slowly, the mood immediately shifted when Vi’s death was mentioned on the table. But Ekko breaks the shift in mood.

“Well, how about you?”

“Me?”

“You said you pissed off Sevika, why?”

You ‘tsk’ and look away in a different direction. “It’s too embarrassing to share.” you cross your arms while trying to look unbothered.

“Just spit it out.”

You put your hands on the table, finally explaining, “Okay, well— uh, she asked me to fix her stove ’cause.. apparently I’m the only one who knows the way around it. But I don’t know how to fix shit.”

“And?”

“I— came up with dumb excuses...”

“And?”

“Ugh, my excuses pissed her off!”

You see Ekko and Heimerdinger holding themselves back from laughing. You roll back your eyes and scoff.

“You can laugh.”

They finally let out the laughs they were holding in. “And you laughed when Powder didn’t smile back at me? This is more terrible!” Ekko laughs hysterically and slaps his legs while doing so.

You were about to roll your eyes back again when someone entered the bar.

It’s Sevika

You fix your posture and face your back towards Sevika’s direction. Ekko and Heimerdinger notice the sudden change in your demeanor, they give you a concerned look.

Sevika approaches the bar front and engages in a conversation with Powder.

“What’s she doing?” you ask Ekko discreetly.

“She’s talking to Powder..?”

“Okay good enough.” You face Sevika’s direction just for you to see that she’s already looking at you. It caught you off guard and you returned to your position earlier.

“Just apologize, lad” Heimerdinger suggests.

“I wish it was that easy, ugh!” you leaned on the table way too hard, causing your forehead to hit the wooden table. It creates a noise and almost everyone in the bar looks at the direction of the noise, but they turn back, minding their own business.

“Ouch..” you whine silently while touching your forehead, you bring out a mirror from your bag and you inspect your forehead.

“I’d love to help, but I’m afraid it’d be too impossible.” Heimerdinger puts down the crystals and removes his glasses, he uses the fabric of his clothes to wipe off any specks of dust on it.

You snort, “That’s what I told Sevika before pissing her off!” you chuckle and hit Ekko lightly using your elbows.

“The risk is far too great.”

“You said I was your pupil, I need a professor.” Ekko dismisses Heimerdinger’s conclusion.

“Better yet— a partner.” Ekko smiles at Heimerdinger, giving him a persuasive look.

Heimerdinger seems to give in to Ekko’s words. He sighs before speaking, “Oh, blast nozzles. How could I forsake a brilliant lad in need?” Heimerdinger smiles back at Ekko.

“So, let’s start?” you put back the mirror in your bag and you turn your face towards the two.

You sigh when both of them nod to your question. You don’t know anything about building and technology— and that’s what you’re about to do.

The two seemed to notice the expression on your face. “Is there something that you’re not telling us, my dear?” Heimerdinger asks while going up to you.

“I-I don’t think I’d be a great help at recreating the anomaly..”

Ekko turns to look at you and his eyebrows furrow, “Well, the person I am in this place might be one of the greatest inventors of all time, but there’s no way I’m also good at that.”

“It’s like, we’re the same person but different.” you touch the back of your neck while explaining to the two of them. “After all, that is the reason why I’m not with Sevika.”

“Hey, we’re in this together.” Ekko pats your shoulder, and you smile softly at the act. “There is no way we’re gonna pull this off without you, ever since you became a firelight, you also became a family to me, to us.” Ekko points at himself and Heimerdinger.

You can’t help but smile at what Ekko said, it warms your heart.

“Very well my boy.” Heimerdinger got on his feet and picked up the container with crystals inside. “Let’s get right into it!” Heimerdinger exclaims with excitement.

You and Ekko give each other a nod of agreement, the two of you are about to gather yourselves up— until Heimerdinger stops the both of you.

“I think the two of you should start by apologizing to Miss Powder and Miss Sevika, my lads.” you pause at what Heimerdinger said.

“I already have something prepared for her,” Ekko says, referring to Powder.

“I don’t have any.” you look down at the ground with a frown on your face.

“Just say you’re sorry and never mention that you aren’t from this universe!” Heimerdinger lifted his index finger upon his suggestion to you.

“I’ll try Professor, but no promises.”

“We do need a place to recreate the anomaly.” he turns to Ekko, he’s probably referring to Powder’s place.

“And another set of hands to help us with the materials.” he then turns to you, referring to Sevika’s help.

—

You sigh before leaving the bar. The other two went in different directions, they insisted that you should apologize to Sevika before joining them. Ekko already has something for Powder, but you? You have nothing to give Sevika.

Though it isn’t totally required to bring anything to her, it’d be too rude if you show up empty-handed.

—

You stroll around the Underground and Piltover for a while, and you walk up unintentionally at a recognizable place. That’s where you find yourself standing up in the middle of the shipping docks.

You have no memories of getting here, but you look around, it’s not like they’re not allowing you to go here. As long as you don’t touch or steal anything.

You walk up to a familiar spot at the docks and stand there. You tilt your head, trying to recall something in your mind.

And that’s when you realize that you’re standing at the exact spot where Sevika found out you’re a firelight.

An image of her face pops up in your mind.

You remember her face vividly.

Your surroundings change, the blue sky going orange. The colors slowly turn down.

The smoke surrounding you and Sevika from the fire going down. Fire cracking is the only sound that fills up the area.

You were interrupted when a man bumped into you.

You jump back to reality when you turn to see the person who bumped into you, he apologizes and flees away. You also apologize to the man, saying sorry under your breath.

The man slightly moved you from where you were standing a few seconds ago. You bite your bottom lip and walk away from the area, without looking back.

It still hurts.

—

It took you an hour before finally finding Sevika. You found her in her home. How did you know she was in there? Not that you were following her, it’s because Sevika’s shoes are outside of her home.

And she never wears her outside shoes inside.

You sigh before contemplating if you should actually knock. Your hands are beginning to sweat and Sevika’s probable reactions fill your mind.

‘What if she closes the door on me before I could even speak?’

‘What if she doesn’t even open the door?’

‘What if she—

“Are you just gonna stand there and do nothing?” the door opens, almost hitting your face.

You jump back, almost stumbling. “Y-You scared me!” you say to her almost breathless.

“You’re the one who’s scared?” Sevika exclaims.

“Well, I.. uh.”

“Well?” Sevika leans on the door frame with her arms crossed over her chest. You hate to admit it but she looks attractive, especially when she does that. But you remember the reason why you’re standing in front of her looking like an idiot.

“I’m sorry.”

“Sorry for.. being a jerk and I lied about forgetting how to fix your stove..” you look down on the ground, shame is slowly eating you alive whenever you try to follow up your words. You're fidgeting with the strap of your bag while thinking of what to say next.

Just apologize to her, and don’t mention that you’re actually not from here.

“I—”

“It’s alright.”

“What?”

“Any complaints?”

“Uh, no?”

“So why did you come to me, do you need any help?” your eyes shoot up when Sevika unintentionally guesses the reason why you are here. “Because I wanted to say sorry, and that..?” you chuckle under your breath. Oh gosh, this is so embarrassing.

“With what exactly? I need a clear and brief description.” Sevika moves slightly towards you, there’s still a good amount of distance between you two, but it isn’t enough to hide your cheeks flushing.

‘Is she teasing me now?’

“With.. another project, I’m working with Ekko and Professor Heimerdinger this time.” Sevika slightly tilts her head and she positions her hand under her chin.

“It’s a really cool project! We just need help with the materials..”

“Mhm, I’ll think about it.” Sevika nods her head while tapping her chin.

“Please?”

“Fine.”

That was quick.

You jump out of joy while squealing. “Thank you so much!” your excitement causes you to almost hug Sevika, you immediately put your arms behind you and smile at her awkwardly.

“But what about your stove?” you suddenly remember the reason why you and Sevika aren’t on good terms, that fucking stove. “Oh, Powder fixed it for me. I owe her a lot, y’know?” she leans even closer as she speaks.

“Oh? I mean at least it’s fixed now. But what about your arm, does it hurt?” you point at Sevika’s left forearm, which is still covered with bandages. “This? It’ll be a day or two and this thing will disappear, and no. Doesn’t hurt at all.”

Both you and Sevika stood in silence after that. It took you a few minutes (thinking of what to say) before finally speaking to her.

“So, we’re even?” you scratch the back of your head when you ask her. Sevika chuckles, “Would I help with your project if we aren’t?” she asks sarcastically.

“Eh..”

“No?”

“Exactly.”

sorry for leaving everyone hanging 😭 i’ve been busy these past few days since school is about to start next week, i’ll finish this before school starts. (this fic will be 5-6 chapters long!) It’s pretty hard having to insert yourself into an already established story. 😞
