On a cool spring morning, the dormitory housing team SSSN had each member in a deep comatose state. The team's leader, Sun, had his arms and legs spread wide apart, with one leg hanging off the bed and his mouth gaping open. Neptune had his ass, sticking completely in the air, while his face was planted firmly against his pillow. Sage however, the teammate of color, had his face near the edge of his bed, sleeping on his stomach, while his left arm and left leg hung off.
The last member of team SSSN, the red headed pirate boy Scarlet David, was the first one to rise from slumber, as he usually does. He took a quick glance at his fellow teammates and with a smirk, he casually mumbled under his breath, "looks like I'll be spending another morning alone."
The pirate boy immediately arose and changed out of his sleeping attire into something more casual. Seeing as this was an early Saturday, there were no classes and he can dress in a more comfortable getup, consisting of maroon colored shorts, a white tank top, and his bright red running shoes. Leaving his dormant teammates behind, the red head made his way out the dorm, across the halls, and down the elevator as a means to reach the school cafeteria. The young boy would often eat alone on mourning weekends, as his friends all preferred to sleep in until noon. Today however, Scarlet would come to discover an unusual occurrence this morning. His crush, Nolan Meow-Meow-Fuzzyface-Jingle-Mcsugarpaws was seen unconventionally high up in a tree. The man in question had blue eyes, black hair, and two cute little cat ears, wore a black coat, white undershirt, black leather pants, and black shoes. "Oi," Scarlet called up to the Faunus, "Whas you doin up there?"
Nolan perched down and explained, "Just helping out a certain little birdy." The cat then proceeded to pull out a small syringe with a plastic tip, containing mashed up worms and insects, as he slowly injected the concoction into the little hungry baby's chirping mouth. "This little guy is the runt of the litter and needs the extra care his mother can't provide him." After feeding the tiny creature, the faunus cooed, "There you go little Thrakozard, you're gonna grow up to be big and strong like your uncle Nolan here." The cat then proceeded to lower himself down the branch until he was simply hanging from his hands, then dropped down to the ground.
The red head was amazed at the nurturing care, presented by this man, as he let out a small chuckle, "You're quite the mother hen aren't you."
Nolan held his palm out and moaned, "Well FATHER hen, is never around, so someone's gotta look after the little ones."
It couldn't be helped, the goofiness and charm from this faunus, prompted Scarlet to finally ask that faithful question he's wanted to ask for a long time, "Say um, Nolan... Would you... Uhhh. Nolan, there's this new sushi joint downtown, would you like to accompany me to dinner? My treat."
Nolan's eyes lit up as he howled, "Free FISH! Hot damn, I love you dude!" He then proceeded to wrap his arms around the little pirate and squeeze him in a gleeful manner and despite the abrasive affection, Scarlet could only giggle in delight after being held so close to his husbando.
As the night grew dark, Scarlet wanted to impress his crush by dressing in a well tailored maroon jacket, white undershirt, and maroon dress pants, as he stood quietly and nervously outside the presumed sushi bar. His date in question, Nolan, showed in his usual attire, as he was seen sprinting in the pirate's direction. "Hey sorry dude," The cat moaned, while slightly catching his breath, "I would have gotten here sooner, but Blake and I had a bit of a disagreement and lets just say I won our little dispute... In a way."
"Yes well..." The pirate boy stammered as he took in more of his crush, "You look great."
"Bitch, I always look fan-fucking-tastic, as I am the number one husbando in Remnant." (A/N yes I am this narcissistic and my OC reflects on this)
"No argument from me." Scarlet shyly agreed.
"Alright red, nough standing around, let's get our grub on." Nolan cheered.
The two gentlemen, spent an extensive amount of time devouring multiple rolls of sushi as Scarlet further explained, "So long story short, that's why Sage hates Neptune."
"OOOOOooooo," Nolan cooed, by this revelation, "Looks like I gotta new best buddy."
"You don't quite care for mah mate Neptune do you?"
"Nope," The cat shot back in a lightning response as if he didn't even have to think about it.
"Why not?"
"Several reasons I don't wanna get into."
"Well..." Scarlet mumbled as he shuffled in his seat, "I... Happen to like the guy, you're not gonna hold that against me are you?"
"Naw, you're a stand up guy Scarlet, I don't care who you like."
"Well... I like...You," The red head lowly admitted, with just a hint of anxiety under his breath.
"What a coincidence," The faunus cheered, leaving Haven student in suspense, "I like myself too."
Scarlet then turned his head in dismay, of course he didn't think the same way. Of course there's no spark between them, he thought.
"Well hey Scarlet I gotta run, but this was definitely one of all time favorite outings."
"Right," The transfer student mumbled, "Hopefully we can do it again sometime."
Nolan shot Scarlet a smile as he cooed, "I certainly hope so." The cat slowly leaned in and planted a small kiss upon the other boy's cheek, before taking off, "See ya Scarlet!"
The young man gasped, as that sweet gesture sent him through an era of bliss.
The next day, we find the cat boi, Nolan discussing his outing with a blue haired, busty girl named Bleu and her girlfriend Ruby Rose. "Yep, then before I left, I thanked him with a kiss on the cheek," the faunus stated proudly.
Bleu stared at her friend with a confused gaze as she asked, "Sooooooo... What, is he your boyfriend now?"
"Ha-ha," Nolan sarcastically chuckled, "very funny Bleu. So funny I almost forgot to laugh."
"It wasn't a joke. I mean, this whole time I thought you were interested in Velvet, but I guess not."
"What are you talking about? Just cause I was hanging out with my boy Scarlet doesn't mean I'm gay."
Ruby then interjected, "Nolan, you kissed him."
"Yeah so? It was just a friend thing, you know a buddy kiss."
"I'm sorry, but are you... Stupid?" Bleu grumbled, "You can't just say you want to see him again and follow it with a kiss."
"Now come girls," The cat mediated, "I think you two are just reaching for evidence. Just cause we shared deep intimate feelings and I told him that I'd want to see him again, doesn't mean I can't kiss him without it coming off romantic. Get with the times, people kiss under those circumstances everyday and it in no way can be interpreted as a romance. I mean really girls, I'm surprised that I-" A sudden ringing from Nolan's scroll gave way, "Eh, hold I gotta take this," The cat answered in a delightful toned, "Hey wassup Scarly."
Scarlet sat alone in his dorm mumbling, "Hey... Uh, Nolan... So uh, apparently Sun, Sage, and Neptune won't be in the dorm tonight. I was thinking... Maybe you wanna come spend the night."
"Ah dude, I'd love to," the cat cheered, "I will be looking forward to seeing you tonight." After the faunus hung up, he turned to the other girls, "Well excuse me ladies, I gotta buy marshmallows, because my FRIEND, invited me to a sleep over."
With the cat man out of sight, Ruby turned to her sexy girlfriend, "Is he... Is he gay or not?"
Bleu simply moaned, "I honestly can't tell anymore, but he is stupid that's for sure."
Okay, First things first, that blue haired girl is my friend's oc, lilytherose2112. She's awesome, go check her out.
Secondly, I wrote this in response to when Blake kissed Sun goodbye on the cheek and everyone tried to claim it was just a friend thing and not romantic. If you disagree, first I don't care how you or your friends personally act and I don't care if you believe Bumblebee is ultimately going to happen, that moment was not a friendship moment at all. Even if CRWBY openly stated otherwise, the way those two interacted was not them being friends.
1) she said she wanted to see him again and followed it with a kiss. If that doesn't scream, she thinks of him more than a friend than I don't know what does. If you had this same scenario in literally any other series ever made, no one would claim it wasn't romantic.
1a) and tbf, while I do prefer Blacksun over Bumblebee, I will still concede Bumblebee has a 30% of becoming canon. It seemed clear at the very least, they wanted to make Sun and Blake's relationship as close to canon as humanly possible without it directly being officially canon. Now personally, I don't believe Bumblebee has the proper footing to become canon at this point, and we know for a fact team RWBY will be in Vacuo at some point, so Sun and Blake absolutely WILL reunite. The question is, under what context will their meet up be under?
1b) Now the reason I say only 30%, is because if that was their breakup moment so that Bumblebee can happen, I would have written it VERY differently. Like instead of a kiss, followed by wanting to see him again. She just hugs him and says "thank you for everything." It would still give the same basic tones, and set the mood, that they are just friends without teasing Blacksun so much, AND while you might argue Sun saying it was never about that, when Neptune talked about letting her go, keep in mind that still doesn't change the context of their goodbye and if we really wanna split hairs, Yang did say it would be a while before her Blake go back to a normal relationship. Which argue all you want, Bumblebee was in no way canon before hand, in the same way Renora wasn't canon until volume 4 and in all honesty, I just can't behind someone who was destroyed emotionally to be able to hook up with the person who destroyed them. That would require some REALLY good writing, because in reality something like that should take a VERY long time to work up to, even if Yang wanted to make it work, and I don't think the time across the Atlas arc would be a sufficient amount of time for that to happen, especially considering the stakes have never been higher.
2) We all know, if you had the same scenario, but with Yang instead of Sun the Bees would go on a frenzy about the a cheek kiss, regardless of the context behind the scene. There would be non stop discussion about the scene, a massive onslaught of art on it, and if CRWBY made Blacksun canon AFTER Blake kissed Yang on the cheek, the bees would rampage relentlessly. Which is why, even though I realistically believe Bumblebee has a 30%, this context is not the right way to introduce it. In fact, I'd argue this is one of the worst ways to lead into Bumblebee. CRWBY only has one chance to get it right, Blake is already one of the least popular characters so they can't afford to mess this up. So side note, before asking if they could, maybe ask if they should, because this context would be hard to make work for even the most talented writers.
((((((In Conclusion))))))
If you can't accept that Blake kissing Sun on the cheek, someone who she has at LEAST shown to be attracted to via her many blushes, helping Blake through her lowest point in the series for a second time, getting her to open up for a second time, reinventing the White Fang back to its former glory, getting her to stand up to her crazy ex boyfriend, being the direct cause of her biggest character growth yet, and reuniting her with her team doesn't in any way indicate she is romantically interested in him, then I'm sorry, but you're just insane. now if they were in their late thirties or related you could make that argument, but no they're 18 and believe me, the high school drama stage proceeds well into your twenties, and they have shown to be at least casually interested in each other. So Blake of all people opening up enough to even give this much affection after what happened with her last boyfriend. Means a LOT!
You can still think Bumblebee is going to happen, but please don't embarrass yourselves with this dismissal of a Blacksun moment. It's so painfully obvious that its romantic I just can't stand anyone saying otherwise.
