Chapter 8

After the match, Sona hurried off of the summoning platform, desperately trying to find the Blind Monk. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her friend rushing out of the summoning lobby. Playing a quiet melody to speed her way, Sona followed as fast as she could. But when she turned the corner... he was gone. The clouds were grey, and fat drops of rain began to fall. Having an idea of where Lee could have gone, the Maven hastily made her way out of the Institution. Rain began to fall harder, until the downpour was a relentless torrent. And then, there. There by the tree that they always spent their days together, sat the Blind Monk.

"You shouldn't have come..." he warned her. "I've made another mistake."

"Lee..." Sona said, taking a step forward.

"DON'T COME NEAR!" Lee Sin shouted, his seething words startling the Maven. After calming down, he continued, "Lady Sona, it is best you no longer associate with me. You may get hurt again."

At the sound of his stiff, formal tone, something fired up within Sona. She walked up to the monk and put her arms around him. Upon embracing him, she found that Lee was crying. She recalled how he had told her that the rain was his tears. True was that now, as his body racked with sobs, and tears that did not fall from his eyes, but the sky.

"Why... Why are you putting up with someone like me?" Lee lamented, his hands wringing with agony.

"Now what are you talking about?" Sona replied, trying to keep her own emotion from spilling over. She turned him around. "What's wrong with you?"

"Lady Sona, do you not understand, you are beautiful, talented, and smart, and your quietness adds an air of mystery and grace that makes you all the more elegant." Lee explained, triggering a blush from the Maven. "While I, am blind, flawed, and made many mis-"

"Oh, shut up!" Sona interrupted and slammed her lips against Lee's.

For those precious moments there was nothing but the sound of rain pouring from the sky, before the two parted.

"I love you, silly," Sona giggled, her own tears falling with the rain. "No matter how many physical flaws you have Lee, you have a heart of gold... For that, you will always be my champion."

Lee's surprise quickly changed to joy and then immense shame.

"Sorry," he muttered. "I was being selfi- OW!"

"What did I just say?" Sona huffed. "Do that self-pity thing again and I'll flick you again!"

Lee Sin sighed and couldn't help but grin.

"You're really like bossing me around now, huh?"

"I could get used to this," Sona giggled as she kissed him again.

"You know, if you stay out in the rain, you'll get a cold again," Lee informed.

"I won't catch a cold all the time," Sona replied dismissively, drawing Lee in for a third kiss.

"ACHOO!"

"Told you so."

"Shut up."
