A/N: Welcome to a new story from yours truly! "Love Amongst The Strawberries", a crossover with my RWBY OCs & Strawberry Panic. Now, before anyone asks, this is marked as a RWBY story for a couple of reasons; 1.) The characters of Adam and Jamie were made for a RWBY story, and 2.) It allows me to have two different relationship tags on the story's info.
Anyways, enjoy the chapter!
LOVE AMONGST THE STRAWBERRIES
Chapter 1- Pedal to the Metal
Astraea Hill
"Well, I just learned something rather interesting, Nagisa-chan!" Tamao Suzumi said, catching her friend (and crush)'s attention. "What is it, Tamao-chan?" the red-haired girl asked, as her roommate sat down beside her. "I just learned that a new school is being built on the hill." She said, causing her friend to gasp. "A new school?" Nagisa asked, drawing a couple of their fellow student's attention. "Yes, but this one will have a major difference: It's a boy's school." Tamao replied, before those listening gasped. "A boy's school?" Yaya Nanto asked, before the doors to the hall opened as Tamao went to answer, and the three student council presidents: Miyuki Rokujo for St. Miator, Chikaru Minamoto for Le Rim, and Shion Tomori for Spica, as well as Shizuma Hanazono, better known as the current Étoile, all entered the hall. Immediately, Shizuma walked to her chair and sat down.
"Right, everyone, listen up!" Shion called out, bringing the entire room to silence. "Thank you. Now, we have an important announcement to make, that will affect all of you, so we ask that, when President Miyuki is speaking, you pay close attention." Chikaru said, before the two looked to Miyuki and nodded, signalling her to start.
"In a year or so, the construction of a new Academy will be completed on the hill." Miyuki explained, before the students gasped. "I know this hill is a sacred area, but the sisters have allowed for a fourth school to be constructed, one which will be a school for boys." She continued, making the students roar in surprise. "QUIET!" Shion yelled, causing the students to fall quiet again. "I know that Astraea Hill is traditionally a female-only area, but the sisters have decided to allow the construction of this new school, so as to test the compatibility of males with the female students. This decision is final. But don't worry, we won't have to interact with any males for at least a year." Miyuki said, before the girls sighed in relief. "When the male students arrive in a year, we expect you all to show them the same level of respect that you show your fellow students right now." She said, before she bowed to the students. "That is all. Good day." She said, before the three presidents left the room. Immediately, the remaining students started to gossip about the news.
"Wonder what kind of boys will be attending this school?" Hikari Konohana asked, before Nagisa put a finger on her chin, and drifted off into thought…
Down in the town, later that night…
The sound of bone meeting metal erupted from the alleyway, as the young man repeatedly slammed his opponent's head onto a railing, as his partner kept himself occupied with the man's backup. After finishing with his opponent, the first young man tossed him to the ground, before he leapt towards his partner's opponents. After a few minutes, all of their adversaries were unconscious. "Wankers." The man's partner said, before he patted his partner's shoulder. "We should get going." He said, before his partner nodded, and both of them ran out of the alleyway, towards the Charger and Skyline parked nearby. Opening the driver's doors, the two slid into the vehicles, and drove off, the Skyline in front.
"I told you we shouldn't have gotten involved with those wankstains." The walkie-talkie situated in the Charger blared, before the car's driver picked it up. "Just keep your eyes on the road, dickhead!" he said, before he saw the Skyline stop suddenly, causing him to slam his foot on the brakes of his Charger, skidding the car to a stop, just shy of colliding with the Skyline's back bumper. Opening the door, the man walked up to the other car. "What the fuck did you stop for?" he demanded, before he saw his partner looking at the ground in front of the Skyline. Following his partner's gaze, the man saw the unconscious form of a young girl. "Shit." He said, running over to beside the girl. Giving her a brief glance over, he could see she was breathing, meaning she was still alive. "See what happens when you take your eyes off the road?" he spat, rounding on his partner, before looking back to the girl. "Spica Academy…" he said, reading the crest on the girl's jacket. "Shit." He said, looking at the large hill overlooking the town. "She belongs to one of the three schools on that hill." He said, before his partner facepalmed. "Fan-fucking-tastic!" the other man said, as he saw his partner pick up the girl in a bridal carry. "What the hell you doing?" he asked, before his partner scowled. "She's fine, but we can't leave her in the street. Get my door." He ordered, before his partner nodded, and opened the back car of the Charger. Depositing the girl on the back seat, the man went to enter the driver's seat, but his partner held him back. "Remember, bro, that hill's sacred ground. Males aren't allowed." He said, before his brother shoved his hand off his shoulder. "That may be, but there's that small issue of that new all-boys school being built in a year. And we're attending it, remember?" he said, before getting into the Charger. "Now, you coming?" he asked, before his brother nodded and entered the Skyline. "Thought so." He said, when he heard the engine rev. Pushing his foot on the accelerator, he shifted gears, and sped off, the Skyline following close behind.
Soon enough, the two cars were close to the gate of the campus, which the Charger's driver saw was lying open, but it was starting to close. Speeding through the gate, the Skyline barely clipping it, the two drivers skidded their cars to a halt. Getting out of the Charger, the young man walked up to the front door of the building in front of them, and knocked hard twice on the wooden door. After a few seconds, the door opened, to reveal the head sister of St. Miator. "Care to explain what a male such as yourself is doing on sacred ground?" she instantly demanded, making the young man recoil, but not from the reason you might be thinking. "Well, I can tell you one thing, you're in serious need of some breath mints. Seriously, you could stun a horse with that breath! Secondly…" he said, walking over to the Charger, and opening the back door.
"My wanker of a brother over there accidentally hit this girl, and we decided to drive her back here." He said, before the sister's face immediately fell into one of sorrow upon seeing the girl in the backseat. "Well, then. My apologies. Thank you for getting her back safely. Could I ask you to help me get her to the infirmary?" she asked, before the man nodded. "Bro, give me a hand." He ordered, before his partner obliged and helped him get the girl out of the car, before he managed to lift her in his arms. "Lead the way." He said, before the sister nodded, and they followed her into the building, then to one of the rooms, which had numerous beds lining the walls.
Placing the unconscious girl down on one of the beds, the two men turned to the sister and bowed. "Apologies for intruding. We'll take our leave now. If the girl wakes up, and wants to know who helped her, give us a call." The man said, pulling a piece of paper out of his pocket, and handing it to the sister, who took it. "Very well. But, may I ask, what are your names?" she asked, before the man smiled. "Adam." He said, holding out a hand. "Adam Robertson. And my brother over there's called Jamie." He said, as the sister shook his hand, then his brother's. "Well, thank you again, Mister Robertson." The sister said, before Adam held up a hand. "Just Adam, please. We hate being called Mister." He said, before the sister nodded. "Well then, Adam. I'll see you two out." She said, before the brothers nodded, and allowed her to lead them out of the building. "Thank you again, Adam, for returning the student to the campus." She said, before the brothers smiled. "Our pleasure." Jamie said, before the two brothers bowed, and entered their cars. Walking over to the gate, the sister unlocked and opened it, allowing the two drivers to pull out of the grounds.
The Next Day…
"So, did you hear about Hikari?" Tamao asked Nagisa, the next day. "No, what happened?" her friend asked, before Tamao cringed as she remembered. "She…was in an accident. But, unfortunately, the head sister decided not to disclose what exactly happened. She's in the infirmary right now." She explained, making Nagisa and their friends gasp. "An accident?" they asked, before they saw the doors to the hall slam open, and Shion ran in. Immediately, she stormed over to where Yaya was sitting, and whispered in her ear, before pulling her from the room. "Wonder what's wrong?" Nagisa asked, before their friends shrugged. "You think it's about Hikari?" Nagisa asked, before Tamao shrugged herself. "It's possible." She said, before the two looked back to their plates…
Down in the town…
"C'mon, bro. What's got you so worked up?" Jamie asked his brother, who was lying back on his bed in their hotel room. "It's nothing. I'm just thinking." Adam replied, scowling when he saw Jamie raise an eyebrow. "About that girl from last night, right?" the older brother asked, causing Adam to jerk his head towards him. "You hit her. With a car." He said, before Jamie nodded. "Yes, I did. And I helped you get her back to the school, didn't I?" He asked, before Adam nodded. "Touché. I'm just wondering why I'm the one beating himself up over this." He said, before the two heard the room phone start to ring. Pulling himself off the bed, Adam walked over to it, and took it out of the receiver. "Hello?" he asked, putting the phone to his ear.
"Yes, is this Adam Robertson?" the voice on the other end asked, before Adam stood up a bit straighter. "Aye, this is him." He said, before he heard the voice make a noise of acknowledgement. "Good. I should introduce myself. My name is Shion Tomori, and I am the Student Council President for Spica Academy. I hear you and your brother assisted one of the students of Spica last night." They continued, before Adam leant back on the dresser. "Fair enough. What can I do for you, Miss Tomori?" he asked, before he swore he could hear the smirk that was no doubt growing on Shion's face. "I can't believe I'm about to ask you this, but I want to thank you in person. Could you come up to Astraea Hill?" She said, making Adam look to Jamie. "You sure about this?" he asked, before Shion said, "Yes. I want to give my thanks to you two in person." "Alright, we'll be there. Just make sure the gate's open. We're not scratching it again." He said, before hanging up.
"Jamie, get ready." He said, turning to his brother, who had already thrown his jacket on. "We're heading back up to Astraea Hill." He said, tossing Jamie's car keys over to him. "Why?" the elder Robertson brother asked, before Adam shrugged. "The Student Council President of Spica just phoned. Wants to thank us in person." He said, smiling at the nod from Jamie. "Alright, let's go." Jamie said, opening the door, before Adam smiled, throwing his hoodie and jacket on. "Lead the way, bro." He replied, pulling his hood up, before following his brother down into the car park. Getting into their cars, the two sped off.
After a few minutes, the cars were speeding up the side of Astraea Hill, and Adam saw the gate was wide open. Picking up the walkie-talkie on his dashboard, Adam said, "Careful, bro. I'm fairly certain that the students will be out in the courtyard.", before he looked in his rearview mirror, where he saw Jamie nodding. "Alright, let's go." He said, shifting his gearstick, speeding up enough to drive through the gate, but also to take his car off the ground for a couple of seconds, startling a couple of the girls, causing them to scatter. Landing on the ground, he pulled on his handbrake, and skidded to a halt, kicking up a large dust cloud. Seeing the Skyline pull up next to him, Adam sighed, before opening his door, and stepping out.
As the various girls looked at the cars in amazement, Adam shut the door to his Charger, as Jamie got out of the Skyline. After locking the cars, Adam saw a blonde girl wearing the same uniform as the girl from the previous night walk up to him and Jamie. "Adam Robertson?" she asked, looking to Jamie, who shook his head and pointed to Adam, who held up a hand, which he then used to lower his hood, causing the surrounding girls to back off in shock at the sight of the two boys. "Sorry. Shion Tomori." She said, extending a hand, which Adam shook. "Pleasure." He said, before he looked round. "So, why we here?" he asked, before Shion nodded. "Folllow me." She said, before leading the brothers inside.
After walking through the halls of Spica, Adam and Jamie followed Shion into the office of the head sister of Spica, who got up as the brothers entered. "So, these are the two gentlemen who helped Miss Konohana?" the sister asked Shion, who nodded. "Yes, this is Adam Robertson…" she said, gesturing to Adam, who nodded, "and his brother, Jamie." Bowing his head, Jamie missed the eye roll Adam had made at his expense. "Well, I must express my sincere gratitude at your returning of Hikari to the campus." The sister said, shaking the brother's hands, before Adam nodded. "How is she?" he asked, causing Shion to look to the sister and nod. "She's fine, just a bit sore from…whatever happened to her." The sister said, causing Jamie to groan. "Son of a bitch!" Adam heard him say under his breath. "Yeah, getting made into a hood ornament by a Skyline will do that to you." Adam said, flashing a look towards Jamie, before the four heard a knock at the door. "Oh, that'll be her!" the sister said, opening the door to the office, revealing the conscious form of Hikari, who was being supported by a black-haired girl.
"Thank you for coming Miss Konohana, even on such short notice." The sister said, before Hikari shook her head. "Oh, it's no trouble, sister. What can I do for you?" she asked, completely unaware of the brother's presence. "Well, these two…" the sister said, gesturing towards the brothers. "Are the ones who helped you last night." Turning around, Hikari was surprised when she came face to face with the brothers. "Oh! Hello!" she said, before Adam bowed. "Pleasure to meet you." He said, before Hikari looked to Jamie. "And this is the older brother?" she asked, before Jamie nodded. "Not only that, but…I'm the one who hit you, Miss Hikari." He said, causing Hikari's eyes to widen. "I took my eyes off the road for a second, and my Skyline hit you. I am truly sorry." He continued, before Hikari cut him off by lunging forward, and hugging him. "It's okay. I forgive you." She said, before she turned to Adam.
"I heard you were the one who drove me back here." She said, causing Adam to nod. "It was the right thing to do." He said, before he was caught off guard by Hikari hugging him as well. When she pulled away, Adam noticed a red mark on her head. "May I?" He asked, lifting a hand up. Nodding, Hikari moved her hair to the side, allowing the brothers to see the gash on her forehead. "That is horrible." Adam said, before glaring to Jamie, who recoiled. "Well, as long as you're feeling okay, Miss Hikari, I suppose we'll be on our way." Adam said, nodding to Jamie, before both of them pulled their hoods up.
"What are you talking about?" Shion asked, making Adam stop in his tracks on the way to the door. "Well, we only came up here to get thanked for helping Hikari, and see how she was." Jamie said, before the sister chuckled. "There is far more to it than that, Jamie." She said, causing the brothers to look to each other in confusion. "You see, I had someone look into that number that you gave St. Miator's head sister, and it turns out, it is the number for a local hotel." Spica's sister said, before Adam grimaced slightly. "What of it?" he asked, with a little more venom than he intended. "Well, I checked the records of the upcoming boy's school for Astraea Hill. And lo and behold, you two are paid transfer students." The sister continued, making Jamie raise an eyebrow. "You work quick." He said, making the sister shrug. "Well, to make a long story short, I had a chat with the other sisters of the campus, and…*sigh*, we are prepared to allow you bed and board at this campus, absolutely free of charge, at least until the construction of your school is completed." She said, before the brother's eyes widened.
Looking briefly towards Jamie, Adam asked, "And what would we have to do in return?" Smiling, Shion spoke up. "Well, the students sometimes have…questions, they can't talk to the faculty about. We'd ask that you two fill the role of…campus consultants, if you may. Also, to keep up with your studies, you will attend one of the three schools as students." She said, making Adam look to the floor, then Jamie, who shrugged. "Better than struggling to survive on the streets." The elder Robertson said, smiling at Adam's nod in agreement. "Alright. I have one condition, however, moot as it may be." Adam said, causing the sister to nod. "Name it." She said, before Adam looked to Jamie. "If you get me and Jamie a decent room, we'll do it." He said, before the sister bowed. "Of course." She said, before Adam nodded. "Alright, just…give us some time to get the rest of our stuff from our hotel room, and we'll come back." He said, before he nodded to Jamie, and both of them left the room, the roaring of their engines being heard soon after. "Alright, time to let the other student councils know." The head sister of Spica said, causing the girls present to nod, before they exited the room.
After leaving the school grounds, the brothers drove straight back to their hotel, gathered their things from their room, and dropped their key off at the reception. "We've found permanent accommodation for the foreseeable future." Adam told the receptionist when they asked why they returned the key early. Nodding in confirmation, the receptionist watched them take their leave, and smiled when they heard the Charger and Skyline pull off.
Quickly driving through the streets, the brothers tore back through the gates of the hill, and skidded to a stop where they had parked previously, where they saw the head sisters of the three academies, as well as the three Student Council Presidents, standing there as they exited their cars. "So, I suppose that you're here to show us around?" Adam asked as he shouldered his bag and locked the Charger. "Yes, and we'd also like to introduce you to the three Student Council Presidents. Of course, you've already met Miss Shion Tomori of Spica Academy…" the head sister of Spica said, causing the blonde girl to smile. "But there's also Miss Miyuki Rokujo of St. Miator…" the head sister of Miator said, before the blue haired girl bowed. Nodding to her, the brothers looked to the black-haired girl in the checkered skirt. "And you are…?" Adam asked, before the head sister of Le Rim said, "Miss Chikaru Minamoto of Le Rim.", and the girl curtseyed. "Pleasure to meet you, Miss Chikaru." Adam said, before Minamoto smiled at him. "Pleasure's all mine, Mister Robertson." She said.
"So, shall we show you to your room?" The head sister of Le Rim asked, before the brothers gestured towards the building. "Lead on." Adam said, before they followed the group into the school, eventually arriving at an empty dormitory on the second floor. "Here you are." Chikaru said, handing the brothers two keys. "Thank you." Adam said, before unlocking the door. Inside, the brothers saw there were single beds on opposite sides of the room, as well as a bookshelf and desk. "You can do what you want in here, so long as you keep it within the school regulations." St. Miator's head sister said, before Adam nodded. "Alright, so one last thing; where do we go if we want to get breakfast?" Jamie asked, causing Adam to roll his eyes. "Thinking with your stomach as always, huh bro?" he asked, before there was an audible growl from Jamie's stomach. "Fortunately for you, we're just about to have dinner. Follow me." Miyuki said, before the brothers followed her down a couple of floors, stopping at the door to the school's cafeteria, where they could hear a loud ruckus coming from inside.
Opening the door, Miyuki entered the cafeteria, and the brothers saw that many of the students were shrieking in panic, and scrambling around. "What is going on here?" Miyuki demanded, before a female student ran up. "There's a bee in here! We've tried to get it, but it's too quick!" she said, before Miyuki facepalmed. "Great, now what do we do?" she asked, before Adam placed a hand on her shoulder. "I got this." He said, before he tapped the girl who had spoken on the shoulder. "You using that?" he asked, pointing to her knife, which lay to the side of her plate. Shaking her head, the girl passed it to Adam. "What are you…?" Miyuki started to ask, but Jamie threw out an arm. "You might wanna let him do his thing." He said, before Miyuki looked back to Adam, who was weighing the knife in his hand. Flipping the knife up, he caught it by the blade, aimed for a couple seconds, then threw the blade full force, causing it to embed itself into the wall, but the students could see that there was a bee impaled through the wings by the blade.
Walking over, Adam yanked the blade out, causing the bee to fall to the floor. "Bullseye." He said quietly, before mercilessly crushing the insect under his shoe. As he wiped the remains of the bee off his shoe, he looked round at the various girls that were gawping at him. "Ladies." He said, bowing to them, before he walked back over to Miyuki. "All yours." He said, gesturing round the hall, as he stabbed the knife into a table.
"Alright, girls, listen up!" Miyuki called, as every girl looked to her. "In light of…recent events, the staff of the three schools have seen fit to hire two new members of the faculty." She continued, before indicating over to the two brothers. "This is Adam and Jamie Robertson. They will be serving as both campus consultants and informal students. Please treat them as you would your classmates and teachers, but don't feel afraid to approach them with any problems you can't talk to the faculty about." She said, causing the girls to nod, as the brothers bowed. "Welcome to Astraea Hill!" the girls said, before the brothers smiled. "Well, thank you all!" they said, before pulling out chairs, and sitting down.
"Okay, now let's get some lunch!" Miyuki said, causing the gathered girls to nod, and get back to eating their lunch. As the brothers looked round, Miyuki said to them, "Wait here. I'll get something for both of you.", before she was cut off by a throat being cleared behind her. "Sorry to beat you to the punch, Miyuki, but I already took the initiative." Chikaru's voice said, causing Miyuki to turn, where she saw her fellow Student Council President standing there, holding a plate in each hand. "Here you go." She said, passing the brothers the plates. Accepting the plates, the brothers smiled to Chikaru. "Thank you, Miss Chikaru." Adam said, before the girl smiled. "Well, enjoy!" she said, curtseying to the two men, before taking her leave. Smiling, the brothers made a start on their food, before Miyuki bowed to them. "I'll send someone to meet you two tomorrow, so we can sort out your accommodation as campus consultants." She said, before the brothers nodded, and Miyuki took her leave.
"So, we're gonna be consultants." Jamie said, before Adam nodded. "Yeah, we are. And if we want to keep the room we snagged here, we have to keep on our best behaviour. Got it?" his younger brother asked, causing Jamie to growl slightly. "Alright, I'll…try and keep a lid on it." He said, before Adam nodded, and both of them got back to their food.
After lunch…
After the brothers finished their lunch, they returned their plates to the kitchen staff, then departed for their room. After entering, and changing into their pyjamas (which just so happened to be pyjama bottoms without a shirt. Remember this, it'll be important at the start of next chapter), they flopped down onto their beds, and sighed. "Well, this was certainly an…eventful day." Jamie said, causing Adam to chuckle. "Let's be honest, Jamie. You were only focused on two things." He said, pushing himself onto his elbows. "Oh, really? And what would they be?" Jamie asked, before Adam smirked. "Well, the food, mostly, but I saw you checking out those girls, especially that one with the black hair who helped Hikari into the office this morning." He said, before he raised a hand to block the pillow thrown his way by Jamie. "Fuck you. But you can't deny, brother; some of these girls are pretty fit. At least one of them must have caught your eye." He said, after Adam tossed his pillow back to him, and flopped back down onto his bed. "I'm going to bed." He said, dismissing the question, causing Jamie to nod. "Yeah, sure. Night, bro." he said, before turning off the lamp, and both of them turned to look at the wall on their respective side of the room. While Jamie fell asleep straight away, Adam was spending his time thinking, mostly about a certain black-haired girl in a checkered skirt…
A/N: And that's a wrap! I know this is a curveball, getting a new story when I've still got about 11 to complete. Trust me, they will be completed, especially "When The Brothers Cry". But until then, I'll see you in Chapter 2 - Consultations. Madman out!
