Sunny D
A/N: I haven't decided yet if I want to turn this into a story with multiple chapters or not. It will all depend on the motivation I have to write it. This will focus mainly on a Sun x Neptune relationship with various other small pairings. Reviews are always welcome. The story starts in the exchange student dormitory in Beacon.
"You know, she's just going to keep saying no. Last time she almost threw you over a balcony. What happened now?" Sun was interrogating his teammate once Neptune came crawling into their dorm room soaking wet. He was shivering and trembling all over. He worked his way to his bed and wrapped himself up in a sky-blue blanket, staring off into space.
"I-I don't get it...she used to w-want me! W-What happened to W-Weiss?" Neptune stuttered with shallow breaths, unable to get over himself being wet.
"Whoa dude, take a deep breath. You're fine. Just tell me what she did." Sun was trying his best to calm his friend, seeing that his efforts weren't doing much. For weeks now, Neptune has been trying to get Weiss' attention, only to find himself punched, kicked, thrown around, and even literally tossed by the ice queen. She had very little interest in Neptune after the day Ruby took Weiss out on a date. Now Neptune was getting beaten up by the girl that he thought loved him. He never seemed to realize that his flirtatious lifestyle was one of many reasons Weiss now wanted him to leave her alone. Sun was having his own difficulties winning over Blake after the tournament match between Yang and Mercury. It was as if Team RWBY had been influenced by some kind of magic gay force.
Neptune calmed himself enough to be able to explain what happened;
"Okay...okay I'm calm. So there I was, just outside the school by the cliff-side. Weiss happened to be walking by and I kind of, maybe, somewhat made an inappropriate joke about Weiss and coming to date me. Then she just...threw me over the edge, literally! Sun, I don't know what to do. I'm cool, right?" Neptune was trying to figure out the problem with his relationship issues. Maybe it was him, or it could be that he was going after the wrong girls.
"You're the coolest idiot I know. I mean that's pretty much all you have." Sun received a harsh glare from Neptune after saying what he did, but it was pretty much the truth. Sun didn't have much advice for his bro, other than everything he's already told him. There had to be some way that Neptune could be set up. That was when Sun began formulating a plan in his head. He wasn't much of a thinker but he would try his best for his friend of many years. The problem was that Neptune couldn't get a girl. That was all he wanted.
"Alright, well first off, Weiss is completely out of discussion. She has...someone else. Who else do you know is a possible option?" The monkey boy hoped that Neptune had a backup plan in case something like this happened. But it didn't seem like there were any more options.
"Well let's see. There's that Pyrrha girl? No, she's too popular. Velvet maybe? Sun, help me!" Neptune was spouting random nonsense at this point. If he couldn't have Weiss, he would just have to try for some other girl's affection.
"Alright, alright, chill for a second. How about I take you out to get some food and we can talk about it some more. I can pay." Sun gave Neptune a smile that gave away the reason he was paying.
"You stole someone's wallet again, didn't you?" Neptune replied, staring cautiously at Sun
"Hey, it's not yours, Scarlet's, Sage's, or anyone we know." Sun shrugged and pulled out the wallet, playing with it between his fingers. Neptune continued to eye his friend with careful suspicion.
"I accept your offer then. Where are we meeting and what time?" Neptune responded, feeling it was probably the best thing for him at the moment. Sun was surprised that Neptune actually accepted. He figured Nep would just shrug it off and say he wasn't in the mood to dine with a dude. Something must have seriously changed his mind for him to take up the offer like he did. Sun grabbed an extra white towel and started gathering up a spare set of Neptune's usual attire. Once everything was collected, he dropped the pile in Neptune's lap and sat down on his bed across from his friend.
"Get yourself dried and changed. There's a sensual-type place in town called The Sea Monkey. I'll see ya there...an hour from now. Don't keep me waiting." Sun added before leaving the room, taking only the wallet and his weapon with him. Neptune watched his friend exit, feeling a renewed adoration for the monkey boy. He didn't want to miss their meeting, so he quickly dried his hair and clothes. He was really hoping that this would work out for him.
Sun tapped his foot impatiently, glancing every so often at the wall clock outside of the restaurant. He was standing outside of the door, almost exactly an hour later: 6:34 PM.
Neptune was strolling down the sidewalk, taking his time for whatever reason. Sun finally spotted him and started waving his friend over to him, noticing that Neptune had no clue where he was going. The blue-haired dork would've kept on walking had he not spotted Sun's frantic waving just then.
"What took you so long? You were suppose to just dry off and change." Sun inquired.
"I couldn't find the place. It doesn't exactly...stand out." Neptune gestured towards the blue building tucked between an apartment complex and a three-story store. The sign hung slightly lopsided and the paint on the exterior was beginning to chip.
"Whatever dude. It's suppose to be really neat inside. At least, I hope it is." Sun shrugged and started walking towards the front doors. Neptune followed close behind.
Once they were inside, the drastic change from rundown to well-managed was astonishing. It looked like an underwater themed paradise. Fish tanks lined the walls and the middle of the room. The water reflected onto the light blue ceiling and made blurry ripples throughout the restaurant. Beside that, there was a fully-stocked and staffed bar and plenty of open seats. The two teammates picked an empty booth towards the bar and sat opposite of each other. Sun leaned forward and started turning the gears in his head.
"Alright now, what did you want to take me here for?" Neptune asked, tilting his head a bit.
"We need to get girls interested in you. That's why." Sun was starting to get an idea about how he was going to get Neptune a girl. But before he could say anything, the waitress walked past their table to get an order. All she saw was Sun's upper body half-sprawled across the table with his tail sticking up. She didn't have a clue what was going on.
"Oh, you two make a cute couple." The waitress commented as soon as she saw Sun and Neptune. The pair of boys instantly began blushing when they realized what it looked like.
"N-No it's not-" Sun started to say but was cut-off.
"We're not a thing!" Neptune finished. The waitress giggled a little and asked for their orders. Both Sun and Nep ordered the same meal of hot wings. They ate slowly and without saying a word. Neptune's face was still red from the previous incident, yet Sun was completely calm. He kept glancing at Neptune from time to time but stayed silent. It was new for both of them. Neither had ever considered being in love with another guy.
The duo finished their dinner and quickly got to their feet, Sun carefully placing the lien on the table.
"Hey Nep, your face looks a little red there. You're not still thinking about what she said, are you?" Sun poked Neptune in the side and winked at him, exploring his friend's embarrassment.
"What? Of course not. It means nothing to me." Neptune tried his best to sound confident, but even he knew that deep down there was doubt in his words. It did mean something to him but he couldn't quite figure it out.
"Alright then ya dork, let's get out of here. Scarlet and Sage must be wondering where we went. Or not, either way we need to get going." Sun motioned for Neptune to follow him. But it was what Neptune did that made Sun stop.
Nep reached forward and lightly brushed fingertips with the monkey boy before extending his hand into Sun's palm and locking their fingers together. It wasn't very tight, but the warm skin-on-skin feeling made Sun want to keep their hands together. Both boys froze as they realized what they were doing. Contact.
"Neptune what…" Sun started to say, but didn't finish as Neptune pulled his hand away quickly and looked away. Neptune was having odd mixed feelings now. Skin contact was made between the two that they had never experienced before. What was he suppose to be feeling right now?
"Are you alright? Did you hit your head when Weiss threw you over the cliff?" Sun pressed on.
"No...It's fine, dude. What're we going to do now?" Neptune tried to avoid any further contact between them. He was here to explore the possibility of a relationship with a girl, not his best friend. Though it was interesting, he wasn't like that.
"I don't know. Wanna just go to the nightclub? I heard about this really great one downtown." Sun suggested, giving his friend a look that said 'please say yes'.
"Sounds pretty chill. Let's go." As soon as Neptune gave his okay, Sun practically rushed out of the restaurant, eager to get to the club as quickly as possible. Neptune tried his best to catch up to the monkey boy.
"You know, you could try waiting for me first!" Neptune yelled after Sun once they were a few minutes away from the restaurant. Sun shook his head and kept his pace the same.
"Nah dude, we'll get there faster if we run!" He had no intention of slowing down anyway, he liked to mess with Neptune. There was no one else around except for the two huntsmen-in-training rushing to their destination. Neptune had to keep his goggles from falling off his head.
Sun wasn't watching where he was stepping, and it soon became obvious. His foot clipped a crack in the cement and he started falling forward. In a last effort to save himself, he spun 180 degrees to face Neptune. It happened quicker than Neptune could comprehend and he smashed straight into Sun. The two fell on top of each other and landed on Sun. Before either of them could react and move, Neptune miscalculated how fast he hit Sun and once they fell, their faces connected and Suns lips met Neptune's. If only for a few brief seconds, the two were undoubtedly kissing. It was completely unintentional and cause both boys to blush heavily after pulling away. Neptune froze in place and his mind was running a thousand miles an hour. He couldn't think properly and just sat staring at his friend. Sun was equally frozen and unable to think. He was the first to speak.
"Well, uh, accidents happen?" Sun nervously said, chuckling to push aside what happened. Neptune quickly regain his bearings and crawled off of Sun, still blushing deeply and looking away. He couldn't believe what had just happened.
Neptune, you all right? Look, it was just an accident." Sun picked himself up and offered to help Neptune to his feet. The blue-haired boy took Sun's hand and stood himself upright. It was a new feeling to both of them.
"I just...want to keep going. To the nightclub, yeah? Let's go. Slower this time." Neptune wouldn't make eye contact with Sun, but brushed himself off and waited for Sun to start walking.
"Yeah. I'm ready." Sun replied and continued walking with his friend to the club.
