Blake was never the type of girl to really date someone. Let alone actually like someone that was so different from her. However, she had grown quite an interest for a boy that was in her team, the fifth member of team RWBY. They left his letter out, just so the name would make sense. With his letter in the name it would go from RWBY to RWBYG.
Gray. That was his name. The same age as the Faunus, black hair along with his natural light dark skin, and his eyes… or eye. The 17 year old had lost his eye due to saving Blake from the same fate. He'd lost his eye and the Faunus blamed herself, if she didn't run away or have her argument with Weiss way back when, the black haired boy would have still had his eye intact.
However, the boy protested, saying it wasn't her fault before going to flirting. Blake was glad that the boy was like that. The friendly, occasionally funny and oddly enough, flirty type.
Gray had always been like this, both a joker and, as he says, a lover. The Faunus had once compared him to her partner, Yang... both of them were wisecracking jokers.
As months passed, Blake grew more interest in the one-eyed boy. His history along with Ruby's was extremely intriguing to her… more on Gray's history. He wasn't like other people. He saw Blake as a person, judging her personality, rather then if she was a Faunus or not.
This thing had caused the two had become fast friends, trusting each other… one more than the other.
Gray enjoyed the Faunus' presence, her occasional witty jokes were something he couldn't get enough of. The glares saying 'really', her laugh was contagious. The inside of Blake was something Gray adored. The outside was something else, however.
The boy had looked at the Faunus more than once, observing her body. The one-eyed boy thought Blake was like an eye candy of sorts.
Legs, strong yet feminine, her rump round and to the perverted boy's liking. Toned upper body, but like her lower half, keeping it's female features. A bust that was normal for someone her age. Strong arms, having its share of small cuts, reminders of her past battles and skirmishes, the girl thought of them as annoyances, but Gray thought of them as things that showed character. Finally, Blake's face.
A small smile always covered the girl's lips, showing her happy side, a slightly rare trait. Her smooth skin, lovely jet black hair and piercing yellow eyes were things Gray could stare at forever. The two may be good friends, but there are some things that Gray still doesn't know about the mysterious Faunus.
At the end of they're first year, the boy had realized.
He had realized that he was head over heels for the Faunus. And with the start of the third month of they're sophomore year, he wanted to be more than goofy friends.
"Ah! Boy, I never thought the library could be so boring." Gray yawned stretching. The boy had walked with Blake to the library, deciding to 'hang out with her'. The two were sitting at a round table in one of the far corners of the massive library, Gray next to his crush. The Faunus chuckled softly.
"Well, why are you here then?" Blake laughed flipping the page of a book she was reading.
"Well, I wanted to stare at your lovely golden eyes, Miss Cat Lady," Gray admitted, however, Blake didn't take as a confession. The best thing about being flirty and extremely sarcastic most of the time is that some people can't tell if your serious or attempting to annoy them.
"What did I tell you about using that nickname? You have hundreds more, yet you settle on that one." Blake sighed a shade of pink dashing her cheeks. It was almost like Gray's talent to make Blake flustered.
"Which would you prefer? Kitty? Kit cat? Furry?" The boy said the last name while stifling a laugh. Blake quickly glared at Gray.
"Neither." The Faunus then chuckled and turned her attention back to her book.
"You're no fun." Gray pouted, folding his arms and puffing his cheeks like a child, earning another giggle from the reading Faunus girl. "What are you reading?" The boy asked.
"A romance novel."
"Are you gonna explain it in detail or am I supposed to wonder what the book is about?"
"It's about a simple, loving relationship, turning to a hard, trying one. However, one of the members of the relationship doesn't give up on the other." The black-haired girl turned to her friend. "Is that better?"
"Very." The sarcastic boy stood up and stretched, walking behind the bookworm. Blake didn't seem to notice, or care, more engaged with the novel rather than her one-eyed friend. Suddenly, the Faunus felt her bow slip off, showing her ears to the public. Blake's eyes widened in horror and reached to hide her ears.
"Gray! What are you doing?!"
"I wanted to see them. I couldn't help it, Blake."
"This isn't funny!" Blake screamed. She was ok with her team knowing that she was a Faunus, but even then she wouldn't show her ears to them. It was extremely rare when she'd show her ears, and it was mostly for Gray to get him off her back. The fact that Gray randomly pulled her bow off infuriated her, she trusted him yet this is what he did. "Why would you do this?!" Blake yelled, hiding her ears and turning on her chair to glare at Gray.
"Blake, I didn't mean anything by it, really! I just wanted to touch them. I'm sorry." Gray frowned, realizing what he had done. "I'll never ask to see them again." The seventeen year old boy lowered his head, like a kid who was scolded by their mother. The anger inside the Faunus had passed, this time she felt regret. Blake sighed and relaxed.
"No, I'm sorry. I kinda overreacted. Just, tell me next time when you are going to do that. You scared me. And you know I have trust issues."
"I know, I'm sorry." Gray lifted his head to gaze into Blake's piercing golden eyes, finding the yellow orbs enchanting.
"Now, why didn't you want to see them so bad that you made me scream at you?"
"I just wanted to touch them." The boy's voice was hushed, afraid that he'd get yelled at again. This caused his crush to laugh. "What?"
"You! You're like a little kid!"
"Hey, you're scary when you get angry!" Gray protested, hearing more laughter escape Blake's lips, a sound he loved to hear. Eventually, he laughed along with the Faunus before sighing. "Go back to reading and you'll see." Blake gave a look of confusion and wonder as she slowly and cautiously, sat in her seat normally, repeatedly looking at the book then back at the buffoon that was Gray.
Finally, Blake began reading the book again and smiled to herself. Suddenly, a soft pressure was made on her ears, before a soothing sensation washed over her. Gray rubbed and massaged the Faunus' ears softly, both wanting to make it up to her and because he wanted to. "Gray… is this why you made me yell at you?"
"Um…yes?" Gray answered and asked. Blake tried to focus on the book but the soft massaging of her eyes distracted her. The girl closed the book and relaxed, closing her eyes as Gray continued to caress her ears. "Do you like this, Kitty Cat?" The Faunus nodded and sighed.
It annoyed her on how her Faunus traits made her react to this in such a way. Suddenly, the Faunus began to purr softly, annoying her once again that she enjoys these small things so much. The boy behind her began to chuckle, finding her so relaxed to be humorous. Blake held her tongue, not wanting to yell at Gray anymore than she did already.
Finally yet sadly, Gray stopped petting Blake's ears. The situation had hit the Faunus, opening her eyes she turned to Gray, jumping when she noticed he was dangerously close to her. The boy rested on the top of the chair's back, smiling at the Faunus in front of him. Blake blushed lightly and looked away briefly, retrieving her bow. "I take it that you enjoyed that, did you Kitty Cat?"
"Y-yes." She mumbled. "But that doesn't mean you can do that all the time!"
"Ok. I'm cool. Oh, you didn't lecture me on your nickname." The boy noticed, he then gasped dramatically. "Don't tell me! You actually like that name?!" Blake sighed and shook her head, hiding her adorable ears.
"Only around the others, not around strangers." Gray saluted and stood straight, making Blake softly laugh. "Come on. I'm hungry."
"Want some fish?" Gray smiled.
"Watch it."
"Hmm, something's fishy. Ow! Blake!" Gray joked before being elbowed by his Faunus crush. Blake huffed, looking away from him and walked away. The perverted boy watched her hips sway in a accidental, yet seductive way. Snapping out of his trance, the boy then walked over to get his and Blake's food. Knowing what she wanted, but wanting to mess with her, the black haired boy asked for a side of sushi, not questioning why that had sushi on the menu in the first place.
Gray then moved to his friend's table, sitting next to Blake, Yang across from him. "What were you two up to?" The burning blonde asked.
"Reading." Blake summarized, leaving out the petting part of their time at the library. Gray then slid her plate to her, hearing a sigh of disappointment before as chuckle. "I really hate you sometimes."
"That's not true!" Gray laughed, rubbing the top of Blake's head, the girl slapped his hand away and hid the faint pink on her cheeks.
"Scratch that. I hate you. All the time." The duo's leader giggled at them while Gray slumped in sadness.
"What's up with you two?" Ruby asked.
"Nothing, Ruby. They're just being Blake and Gray. The silent mastermind and her idiotic sidekick." Weiss snarked. It always shocked the heiress on how Blake could put up with Gray's shenanigans, but then she realized that they had Yang on the team too. The poor Faunus was most likely worn down from them.
"Weiss! That's not nice!" Ruby giggled, before almost choking due to food still in her mouth.
"It's true, though. And don't die on me."
Blake opened the book she was reading earlier and began to read, eating her food as well. She smiled softly when she tasted the sushi, although it was a joke Gray could tell that she was in the mood for something like it.
The table had returned to its normal conversations, Nora going into extreme detail of dreams, or adventures for Yang while Ren explained to the blonde that none of that is true. The white and red of team RWBY, or RWBYG, went through their fair share of scolding, the heiress tends to do with her girlfriend.
Surprisingly, the duo had formed a relationship, most likely from Ruby repeatedly asking the heiress to date her. The leader had found out that the heiress was bisexual and used this information to attempted to 'seduce' her white-haired partner.
It didn't work out. In the slightest.
Being cold and having an odd sense of humor, the heiress denied the young huntress over and over, before she actually finding an interest in the younger. After awkward date after awkward date, the duo then went steady around the end of they're freshman year and they've been ok ever since. The heiress decided to take things slow, ironic as it is. Weiss wasn't the type to be affectionate publicly either, but the quirky young leader was slowly but surely leading her out of her boring shell.
Jaune and Pyrrha were doing they're daily song and dance routine, Jaune not paying any real attention to the warrior. Finally leading back to the Faunus, she read silently with a certain black haired boy hovering over he'd shoulder, struggling to read the tiny, long words. 'Wazat' he'd ask and 'Is that a word?' Repeatedly, the Faunus would shush Gray but he'd immediately go back to annoying her, showing small signs of affection. An arm around her, a small scoot closer, invading her personal bubble, small first grade things.
The Faunus would constantly ignore Gray, before getting more and more agitated. "Would you please stop." The girl asked half commanded. Golden eyes would stare into a black one, before noticing a small smile on the boy's lips. Then a chuckle, after that Gray began to laugh. Blake smiled along with him before shoving the boy. "I swear you're the worst." She smiled before returning to her book, leaving Gray laughing.
The rest of the residents of they're table stared at the duo, seeing the display unfold was rather amusing. The rest of the day was filled with similar caliber, jokes, snarky remarks and laughs.
By the time team RWBY were back in they're dorm, the sun was down and the shattered moon started its journey to it's apex point. Each member took their time to shower and get dressed, a small amount of sleepiness washing over them. Gray yawned and stretched, before falling on his bed. "You've worn those same Ursa pajamas since the day I met you." Weiss sighed, peeling Ruby off of her.
"I know, you and Ruby have worn the same stuff too. It's almost like it's a uniform." The pajama-wearing boy snarked, earning a small laugh from the resident blonde.
"True." Weiss nodded before turning to Ruby who would stay away from her for two seconds. "Ruby! Please! Stop!" The younger frowned and sat still on Weiss' bed, saddened by the outburst. "Thanks you." The heiress smiled and patted the top of Ruby's head.
The door to they're bathroom opened revealing Blake, in her pajamas. She yawned and approached her bed, not noticing the only boy in the room stare at her. The bathroom door then slammed shut when the team's burning blonde ran inside. The Faunus grabbed her book from earlier today and continued reading leaving the room in silence, safe for Weiss' scolding.
Once again, the one-eyed boy stared at the Faunus, caught in what seemed to be a trance. The odd boy analyzed her pajamas, a simple gray and white yukata. The Faunus would always do this before going to sleep, finish a book and start another before calling it a night.
Once the blonde buffoon fell asleep, it was a clear indicator that the rest of the team were soon to follow. Which is exactly what happened.
As soon as Yang left the bathroom, she slumped onto her bed, the White Rose couple soon joining her, in their respective beds.
The lone boy attempted to fall into slumber but he couldn't. Needing something to do he glanced around the room. Yang, who was already asleep, Weiss, tossing and turning, and Ruby who was, being Ruby. Lastly, he glanced over at Blake, who was nearing the end of her book.
That was the person he'll bother tonight. Jumping out of his bed, Gray fell onto Blake's. "What are you doing?" The Faunus asked.
"Just getting comfortable." Gray sighed, crawling up to Blake. Blake smiled and shrugged before returning to her book. Gray moved a leg over hers and basically straddled the Faunus. He then put two fingers on top of the book and pushed it down, moving his head so he took the place of the book. "You pay more attention to books, more than your good 'ol friend Gray." The boy pouted. "Look at me."
"What is there to look at?" Blake asked almost instantaneously. Gray frowned and nodded.
"Ok. I get it." Gray hanged his head in embarrassment and sadness. He slid off Blake's bed and sauntered over to his own, only before the Faunus stopped him.
"Relax, I was joking." Blake explained, sounding like she felt bad for the heartbroken boy. "What? Did I hurt little Gray's feelings?" Gray smiled and nodded, causing his friend to roll her eyes. "Come on, sit with me." Gray sat on the black haired girl's bed again and she smiled. "You're too emotional for a guy."
"Hey, you know me. I'm strange."
"I'll say." The childish boy threw an arm around Blake, the girl not even flinching. "What are you doing?" She asked looking into Gray's eye.
"You ask that too much around me."
"Yeah, I should just stop. What you do can't be explained."
"That sounds awful." Gray chuckled. The duo then stared into each other's eyes again. Gold meeting black. The boy inhaled the sweet smell of lavender as he moved a strand of hair out of her face. "You know, you're really easy to make blush."
"Jerk."
"Aw, that hurts, Kitty Cat." Blake then shoved Gray away, a smirk on her face.
"Go to bed, Gray, or should I say, Wolfy."
"Oh my god, that's awful. I love it." Gray smiled before getting up. "G'night Kitty Cat." The boy laid down on his bed, closing his eyes.
But he still couldn't go to sleep.
"God damn it."
Hey people. Legendary here with this new thing. I hope this lived up to everyone's expectations. I had fun writing it and I hope I'll continue to enjoy it. As for the Pyrrha story, that could be made either after this or if Burning Beast is done, which it's actually reaching it. I don't think I did Blake right, so please let me know if I did an alright job with her. If not try to give me tips, or give me tips on general things. I like talking to you guys. I wanna try to take my time with this one. With that said have a great Day / Night everyone!
