Chapter 1
Hello everyone! Now there's something I need to say first off, if you want a story of an awesome OC who beats up grim and sweeps one of the main characters off of their feet, look somewhere else. This is business, and comedy. So sit back and get ready to laugh your pants off. There will be other characters soon.
Wolfe hated a lot of things. Firstly, he hated his name. Who names their child Wolfein? Secondly, he hated his parents. Stupid, no good idiots who ran right after he came out. He hated a lot of things, but his store was not one of them. Yes, Wolfein Grayson was the owner and proprietor of a small shop in the middle of Vale. And by middle I mean a block away from the docks. But still, it was his.
Wolfe stared at the items his shop sold (which was almost anything) from behind the cash register before looking into a mirror. A five foot four, grey haired young man in a green suit with grey eyes and a bored expression looked back. This was why he hated Wednesdays; no one ever came in on Wednesdays. But he had to look professional if he ever wanted to be a real business man like the Schnee or the Carrow.
Just then he heard the bell at the front of his shop ring and he looked up franticly to see if it was a customer. Unfortunately it was just his Aunt, Martha. "Hey, what's with the long face? You know, I saw that one girl, Ruby I think, heading this way." Wolfe looked up, confused. Why would Ruby be headed here on a Wednesday? She should be getting ready to go to signal. After his Aunt Martha went into the back he again heard the distinct sound of the bell and in walked Ruby Rose.
"Hi Wolfe. How are you?" instead of answering verbal he help up a white sigh that appeared out of nowhere that read 'Hi Ruby, where were you? I heard a rumor that you were at From Dust Till Dawn the other day. I would hate to lose my only regular customer.' "Don't worry," she stated. "I was only looking at weapons magazines so don't worry. Actually, it was a good thing I was there. I'm going to Beacon!"
To say Wolfe was surprised was an understatement. Having heard of the event on the news he was glad Ruby was safe, he would hate to lose a customer after all. Yes, that was the reason. Not the fact that whenever she came over she would talk to him and treat him like a real person. Definitely not that. In the middle of Ruby's explanation, which included a lot of loud noises and karate motions he help up yet another sign that read 'If you're going to Beacon then you're going to be meeting a lot of people, Yes?'
Ruby shuffled her feet like this though wasn't one she enjoyed but eventually nodded. He then smiled and flipped his sign over. 'Perfect. Be sure to tell everyone 'I get my supplies at The Lone Wolfe.' It's good for business.' She laughed at his business mind set and nodded, knowing that everyone would just being dying to know where she got everything from, including those, but what Yang doesn't know won't hurt her. Since she was here she bought some dust and went on her way. Just after she was gone he got a text from her sister, Yang. "Hey Wolfe, I've been meaning to get some more dust rounds. I went through a lot awhile back and I need some extra, what with me going to Beacon soon. See you tomorrow. Yang"
In a rare moment of nostalgia, Wolfe went outside and looked at the small, wooden sign hanging above the door. The whole sign was painted green and in grey letters the name of his shop, The Lone Wolfe, was above a grey wolf's head. It was the only thing he had left from his family, other than his Aunt of course, that he actually cared about. Most people in Vale, no Remnant, had symbols. This was his.
He smiled as he looked down at Yang's text. He really needed to ask her how she got his contact information one day. But right now he was glad for a customer. And the prospect of new Beacon students coming to his shop filled him with an excitement he hadn't felt since first meeting Ruby. Maybe Wednesdays aren't that bad after all.
I know it's a little short, but what did you expect. Also, I made this story hoping for some cameos from another story. If this sound like a cool idea and you want to send someone my way just PM me with the story, their name, and something that they would need to buy. And it could be anything. Till next time.
