In this story, Blake Belladonna suddenly finds herself in the most peculiar situation.*
Blake really had it rough. Sure, it was dreadful during her time as a member of The White Fang, but her time at Beacon Academy definitely takes the cake.
For starters, there was her partner, Yang Xiao Long. Every time the boisterous blonde entered the dorm- or any room for that matter- she had to make some sort of loud entrance, yelling about how Professor Glynda Goodwitch 'mistreated' her, or how boring Professor Peter Port's speeches were.
Next on this 'annoying' list was the blonde bombshell's half-sister, and her team leader, Ruby Rose. Sure, the caped girl was reserved in public places, and a bit more mature than Xiao Long in some way or another, that was fine. However; when she was in the dorm room, her mood shifted from 0 to 60 in no time flat, and she soon became an absolute bundle of energy. Blake never understood why she was like that, but when you're younger than everyone else, you're bound to have more energy than those older than you.
Then, there was the sisters' demo- hellsp- canine companion Zwei. Zwei was a Corgi, which gave him the status of 'adorable', and to top it all off, he was a dog. Blake, given her status as a Feline Faunus, saw him only as 'the enemy'. She wanted to get close to Zwei, really, but her natural instinct to 'stay away' only prevented that.
And, finally, came Weiss Schnee: The Heiress to the Schnee Dust Company. Don't get Blake wrong, she and Weiss have been getting along quite well, recently. But this didn't stop the small back-and-forth bickering between the Heiress and Faunus. Some days were quiet between the two, but whenever the topic of Weiss' family or Blake's past came up, some ire rose to the surface.
Thus, Blake decided to spend more and more time in the Library, reading away at her fantasy novels such as Ninjas of Love to cool off until she gained enough will to return to the dorm. As she read these types of adult novels, she began to wonder what it would be like of she ever got herself into a relationship again. The last relationship she was involved in ended... rather violently.
Maybe, one day.
Lie Ren was exhausted.
Recently, his teammate, and childhood friend, Nora Valkyrie put him through a rigorous exercise regimen (The inspiration coming from when the bubbly redhead had caught Jaune and Pyrrha going to their meeting spot to secretly train). Therefore; this gave Nora a great idea to, how she put it, 'put some meat on those bones'. She was drooling for whatever reason, as she said this, but who knows what goes on inside the mind of a Valkyrie.
Next came his fellow brother-in-arms, and his leader, Jaune Arc. Jaune was a rather... interesting case when he was elected by Ozpin to be leader of JNPR. Thinking back, Ren already could tell that the Arc boy had no training background whatsoever, giving Ren the conclusion that Jaune had somehow cheated his way into Beacon. This didn't matter, as long as Jaune knew never to interrupt Ren's beauty sleep, or meditation hours. That, and, Ren had recently gained an interest in a novel called Ninjas of Love. What bothered him was how could one be so dense when Pyrrha was giving him signs of liking him.
This now brings the topic towards the team's 'Invincible Girl', Pyrrha Nikos. The spartan girl was well educated, a beauty in combat, and has so much potential to be more. If only she would just tell Jaune how she felt, then maybe Ren would be able to get some peace and quiet while reading his novel. However; life wasn't fair and he had to deal with the 'girl talk' between Nora and Pyrrha about Jaune.
Annoyance finally reaching the surface, Ren closed his book after saving the spot he stopped reading at, and decided to head to the library. Maybe he might be able to find someone who actually appreciates peace and quiet as much as he did. Hell, if he ever came across someone like Blake from RWBY, then he would just go ahead and ask her out, just because he had something in common with someo-
Ren stopped in his steps just outside the library doors. Where did that come from?! Taking a deep breath, he marched inside the library, all the while trying not to let the crimson show on his face.
"It wouldn't be a bad thing, though. Would it?"
Blake looked up from her novel as she sat down on a beanbag chair in a small corner of the library. She heard the door open, wanting to ignore it, but curiosity and cats be damned. Looking up, she saw-
"R-Ren?!" She gasped, almost losing the grip on her book. Thankfully, she whispered that, otherwise she would've been shushed. 'What's he doing here?' She thought to herself, hiding crimson behind her book. Hoping she wasn't going to be seen, she made to stand, until-
"Oh, Blake. Hello." Crap.
"H-hey, Ren." Blake greeted softly, hoping the beanbag she was sitting on would swallow her whole. "What brings you here?"
"Reading." Ren said, holding up the book in his hand. "I would read in my dorm, but... you know how trying to read in a loud dorm can be."
"True." Blake agreed. "U-um, did you... want to...?" She gestured to the beanbag chair next to hers.
"Gladly, thank you." Ren said, quietly. As he was going to take his mind off things by reading, he couldn't help but notice Blake's stare. "Is... everything okay?"
Blake blinked twice before realizing what she was doing. "Y-yes, I'm fine!" She yelped, accidentally getting shushed by the Librarian. Quickly, she looked at the novel Ren was holding as a means to change the conversation. When she looked at the novel, however, she suddenly felt as though hundreds of butterflies were fluttering in her stomach. "N-Ninjas of Love? Y-you read, as well?"
Ren looked at the novel in confusion, until he saw what book Blake was holding, and almost blushed. "Y-yes, i see you have a copy, as well."
Blake said nothing, and returned to her novel, nodding her head in response. A heartbeat passed as the two sat in silence, books open. They weren't even reading anymore, as too many thoughts began bouncing in their heads.
"Hey, Ren?" Blake asked, looking up from her book. They say that 'love at first sight' hardly exists in the world. Making eye contact, as Amber met Pink, completely disproved that, and Blake lost all train of thought.
"Did you want to go on a date this weekend...?"
Now, it wasn't confirmed on who said it first, but both Blake and Ren nodded in confirmation, and resumed their quiet reading.
Little did they know that their fellow teammates, Yang Xiao Long and Nora Valkyrie, were highfiving each other behind a nearby bookshelf.
