Hey! I'm known as pyroanime2k16 on Deviantart and I'm here with my first RWBY fanfic, which a multi-chapter fic. Sort of AU as that our heroes are living normal lives, but the weapons from the show are humans (inspired by criselaine's fanart on Deviantart and used WITH PERMISSION) and are related to them and they still have their semblance. Enjoy. Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING! (Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing...)

Summary (the first of many fanfics.): Ruby is in love with Weiss and vice versa for Weiss for Ruby. Same thing with Yang and Blake. There's… just one problem. They are afraid of each others' reactions if they confess. And now, the sisters are on the verge of their breaking point. Thankfully, everyone has someone to help them out.

WARNING!: THIS FIC MAY HAVE MATERIAL THAT MAY BE UNPLEASANT AND SENSITIVE TO VIEWERS WHO HAVE PTSD AND THOSE WHO GONE THROUGH A TRAUMATIC EVENT. PLEASE DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE VULNERABLE TO THAT.

Note that each chapter will be centered around a specific pairing, except the prologue and epilogue. Main pairings are Ruby x Weiss (White Rose), Yang x Blake (Bumbleby/ee), Crescent Rose x Myrtenaster, and Gambol Shroud x Ember Celica. I started writing the prologue before Vol. 3, so expect some major differences. They will altered as the story progresses. Now with all that out of the way, begin the story! Enjoy!


Prologue: Gotta love Prologues


I look at my surroundings and notice that I'm in a city bank. I hear the sounds of screams and gunfire. I see multiple corpses around me and four men; two with AK-47s and two others with a pistol each. One of them has his pistol aimed at the head of the banker while the other has his aimed at my aunt, who's in extreme pain due to a bullet wound in abdomen. I immediately dash at a inhuman speed to try and help her and my cousins, only to have my eye shot out and go unconscious.

I wake up to the sound of the alarm clock beside the bed, breathing heavily in sweat. I turn off the alarm and close my eyes. 'I really want to go back to sleep...' I think to myself, 'But then I would only wake up to the sound of noisy kids.' I chuckle at that thought. Slowly getting out of the warm sheets and blanket of my bed and into the chilled air in my extremely plain room, I get a t-shirt and sweats on and headed downstairs to make breakfast.

I am Crescent Rose, older sister of Ember Celica, and oldest cousin of Yang Xiao Long and her younger sister Ruby Rose. (A/N: For the sake of the story, Celica and Crescent are sisters since their masters are sisters. Gambol is Blake's cousin, while Myrtenaster is Weiss' cousin. Behold comedy because the fourth wall will broken multiple times during a character's point of view for they are going to, for the most part, be speaking to the audience.) I'm more of a mother figure to them since Celica and I lost our parents in a hospital after an attempted bank robbery, which also cost me my right eye when Ruby's mother, Summer Rose and I were protecting them. (A/N: I'm not going to tell what Summer's fate is as it should be obvious for those who watched Vol. 3.) Ruby and Celica still have nightmares of it once in a while, so Yang and I try to comfort them in the best we can.

Yang and Ruby are attending here, at Beacon Academy. Since I happened to be with them when our headmaster, Ozpin and them when discussing dorms, I offered to let them stay in the dorm Celica and I shared, which Ozpin accepted the offer happily. Their father, Taiyang Xiao Long was quite hesitant on letting them live on campus, but Ozpin and I reassured him that it would be fine and if something did happen, we would take responsibility for it. He only sighed on how reckless we were, but thanked us happily.

I'm cooking breakfast when I hear someone walk downstairs. "Morning..." A person yawns, who turns out to be Celica. "Morning." Was my only response. After what happened, most of my emotions hardened to the point where I couldn't smile genuinely. It was as if happiness left my soul. I hugged my sister as soon as she walked by the kitchen who hugged back.

"You're up early." I told her. It was 8:30 on a Saturday and she was already up. "Couldn't stop thinking of Gambol." She responded which I grunted to. Yang, Ruby, and I are the only ones who knew that Celica had feelings for Gambol Shroud yet I knew that Gambol had the same feelings for Celica as she did for her. I want them to confess through their own will without any help if they can.

Celica and I knew Gambol since elementary school and very quickly, she and Celica became best friends and extremely close, to the point of being inseparable. It wasn't until 2 months prior to today that Gambol told me that she was falling in love with Celica. Celica told me she was in love 2 weeks ago. I told them both that I would help in whatever way I could and immediately started arranging dates for them to go on together, hoping they would confess their feelings to each other. So far, they haven't.

Celica sat on the couch while reading one of her many manga volumes, while I resumed cooking breakfast for them. Just as the clock said 9:00, Celica stated "Ruby should be waking up by now." as she grinned. I sighed in relief. "Just finished making our breakfast as well." I gave her a plate of pancakes with maple syrup, which was her favorite and almost immediately, she started eating, which amused me sometimes. Silence then accompanied us. We looked at the clock. 9:05. Brace your ears in 3. 2. 1.

"YANG! WAKE UP, YOU DUMB BLONDE!"

"There it is." I said getting up from the couch. Celica just bursted into laughter. "I swear, Ruby is going to be the end of us one day." I smirked at that. 'We'll see.' By the time I got Yang's room, Ruby was already trying to haul her still-sleeping sister out of the room. Ruby noticed me as soon as I touched the doorknob. It's like instinct to her. "Morning. A little help…?" She chirped, while struggling to carry Yang efficiently. I chuckled and rolled my eyes. "Your sister can be a pain sometimes." I said while putting Yang's other arm over my shoulder. Her head immediately twitched, as she was now waking up. "I'm up, I'm up. You don't have to haul me like a bag of luggage." She yawned. Ruby and I just looked at each other and sighed.


12 minutes later


My hand connected to my face. "Of course. NOW she decides to be active." I murmured at Yang, who quite literally jumped on to the couch, her breakfast in her hands, all while her breakfast stays perfectly still on her plate. I don't even know how that logically works. Ruby was already finished and nomming a chocolate chip cookie. All I did was shrug. "You won't let go of those things, will you?" I sighed, knowing the obvious answer. "Of course not." She smiled with a mouth-full, knowing that I knew the answer a thousand times over. Celica just giggled at me, which caused me to glare at her. She just shrugged with that damn taunting grin on her face. "How did you sleep?" I decided to get a normal conversation going to distract them from uncomfortable topics. "Alright. Could've slept longer." Yang replied, yawning. Ruby and Celica sighed, while the palm of my hand connected with my face. "Just be happy that it's a weekend." I replied to her, which she grunted to.

The phone started ringing as soon as we finished eating. I look at the caller ID and noticed that it's Gambol. I immediately picked up the phone and went into the kitchen, receiving confused looks from Ruby and Celica. Yang just laughed loudly. "Okay. In the clear. So, what's up?" I said into the mic. Gambol chuckled and paid "I have some friends that I think you guys should meet." I paused for a minute. She's gotta be kidding. "Really?" I spoke into the mic. "Yep. I've arranged a time for when you're going to meet, so be ready." She answered in the tone of voice that she uses when she's serious. Damnit. I quickly yelled in the mic "Wait! What time is this "meetup" happening!?" Gambol laughed cheerfully and spoke "In two hours and at the Academy cafe, if you're wondering where. See ya soon!" With that, she hung up before I could say anything else. Well, shit.

I walked into the living room and put the phone away, sighing "Get dressed. Gambol has some friends that she wants us to meet." Ruby looked at me, puzzled "When?" "In two hours." I sighed and started walking upstairs to change. Almost immediately, Yang, Ruby, and Celica started going up as well. One thought goes through my mind. 'I hope you know what you're doing, Gambol Shroud.'
