Sounds a lot like "Player of Games" by Ian Banks.

That said, the average LoL tournament watcher wouldn't care so why not pander to them.

>A girl gets a message that says "I love you" from a classmate
>this classmate is a ugly nerd guy who can talk only with her and the Science professor.
>the two guys love astronomy.
>The professor dies causing an incident. It's clear it is suicide.
>he offed himself because the sun is freezing and humanity has only two years before humanity ends.

I am sending this shit to a writing challenge, dubs names the short story.

Mostly dialogues
Dead body is found in an inhabited region of a some sort shitty snowy country
Two people find it
They spend few days next to it talking
I don't know what happens after that but they talk a lot

It may seem painfully cliche to start with but bear with me.

Robots are a large part of society and in a coordinated act take action on Isaac Asimov's 0th law of robotics (Robots shall not harm humanity or allow humanity to come to harm). They isolate humans in underground cities (might make a point of saying humans don't use surface for much anymore, like in Caves of Steel). The story follows a child recruited by a crushingly overplayed resistance and their fight out of the isolation. They get to the surface to find the world has been 'fixed' by robots and humans have been replaced by something (cloned humans maybe). They tell the humans down below but they are happy where they are and I've run out of steam at this point.

This is extremely rough around the edges and I'm half convinced I should scrap it completely but it's the first proper idea I've had in ages. The main point I want to get across is the whole 'robots take over through the 0th law and rehabilitate earth' thing but I'm struggling with getting around the cliches and especially struggling to actually make a plot out of it.
