the sneak peaks you showed are super exciting… the last 1 where ximena gives the reader a kiss on the cheek,,,, pls tell me reader is polite and returns the gesture (/nf/lh!!!!!)…. <- asked by a hispanic person who does the cheek kiss greeting/goodbye gesture all the time
Hi! To answer your question, yes! I am mexican myself and I wanted to incorporate the Ximena/Jayce being hispanic adjacent into the fanfic! During the second chapter I added a bit of dialogue when Reader kissed Jayce’s cheek to hint to that! And due to Jayce always wanting physical affection from Reader, she started kissing his cheek back, even though it was something foreign due to her being from Zaun.
It had become a habit of his since he was fourteen, to kiss your cheek goodbye. ‘My mom told me it’s polite.’ He had told you that it was something older people did when greeting or when leaving where his mother was from. And it is something he always did from then on.
And in my head I believe Jayce’s dad was born in raised in Piltover, while Ximena could be from another city/country within Runterra!
