A/N: ummm... reasons?
i find i sorta like the whole Cardin/Velvet ship, which thanks to some discussion with Wishstone to get my thoughts straight, i'm now referring to as Cadbury as in the Easter bunny chocolate eggs with whipped filling that fucking delicious! :D if there's already a name for this crack!ship tell me, otherwise i'm keeping mine!
in the vein of Deluge this was SUPPOSED to be more... lemon-y-fresh, but turned into something more serious~ humor it seems is deciding to dominate my work with some moral reflection... which i'm cool with~

Hate
It's easier to Hate than it is to Love… at least that's what people like to teach their kids.
It's one of the reasons Love is so strange in the world. Sure, there are tons of stories, but they're just stories, they don't make any damn sense and people just pretend they understand them. Then there's war, people fighting over ideas, hating one another more than anything for any reason they can grab. Peace is hard, war is easy. It's easier to throw a punch or hurt someone than extend a hand and try to understand them.
Hate is easy, Love is hard.
Velvet was starting to figure this out. She'd been taught her whole life to not react to violence with violence as that just spurned on a long chain of hatred. She tried to meet every affront to her person with a kind of dignity and kindness that would eventually make even the worst people stop in the long run. She tried to extend a hand in friendship, or at least peace, instead of fanning any flames further that might spark more outbursts of hatred or prejudice.
That was getting really strained every time she had to deal with Cardin Winchester.
Yes, after a while the other members of his team had given up their taunts and jeers, either being reprimanded enough or losing interest, but Cardin never did. It was almost like he had something to prove by showing just how vicious humans could be. It made him a very dislikable person and wholly unpopular.
She tried to avoid him when she could. He greatly confused her. What in the WORLD could have possibly happened to this guy to drive him so wholly to be such a… a… a DICK!
She grunted behind a tree trying to calm her thoughts.
Velvet liked to wonder the outside grounds of Beacon and had a knack for finding a ton of little spots to hide away in. Maybe it was her bunny nature but she enjoyed it all the same, it gave her a great opportunity to get away from jerks like Cardin and listen to nature.
Okay, truthfully she did often run across scenes best left unspoken of… or ever seen and she definitely heard a lot of things others probably didn't want anyone to know. But she wasn't really a gossip so such a thing wasn't bad per say…
Currently she was sitting behind a tree in one of Beacon's gardens. There were rows of bushes and flowers lining the path and from the path side it looked all fairly solid and no one would bother thinking one could get to the other side but she was Velvet Scarlatina and she had her ways of moving about places and never seeming to touch a thing! Stealth helped a lot!
It was also because of this she felt she was alone enough and wouldn't be found out so she could finally get a chance to read some of those books Blake lent her-
"Shit!" a deep growl grunted from not far behind her tree.
She immediately froze, lowering the book and wiggling her bunny ears. She recognized that voice… why did she recognize that voice?
Suddenly something darted off past her, jumping the hedges with ease and running off into the forest.
She would curse her natural curiosity later, what was this and what was going on?
Using all her natural stealth she followed the thing barreling through the underbrush. She caught sight of the armor but not much else as she was sticking to the ground in her pursuit and didn't see much above the waist.
It looked like a guy… they weren't wearing a skirt but those were some tight black pants with metal on the sides of his hips and where had she seen that red sash before?
She ducked behind another tree when the person seemed to finally stop.
He frantically looked around and ducked into some bushes.
She honestly didn't see the point in further hiding, they were far enough away from the path no one would be able to just turn this way and find either of them.
"Damnit!" the gruff voice complained as his hands moved down to undo the sash about his waist, "Why the hell did that bastard have to hit so hard!"
Velvet blushed when she realized she was staring at this guy's ass… she quickly shook her head, slapping herself mentally. She wasn't staring! Just curious! Yea!
The red sash came off and it looked like there was a tear in the black fabric, both on the pants and the shirt.
-That's funny, why does that look brown and not skin tone like the rest of him?- her head tilted confused by what her eyes were telling her.
Then the guy pulled off his chest armor and she finally got a good look at the crest on the front as he dropped it unceremoniously.
-Oh shit!- her body went into full panic as her eyes ran over the golden bird crest of house Winchester. This was Cardin she had followed! Into the middle of the forest! -Where he's taking off his shirt!-
Her face went red as the black under shirt went floating in her vision. At this point she was stuck, paralyzed and while her flight instincts told her to run she found she could not move. Blame her for reading Blake's damn smutty books or her teenage girl hormones, her brain was not registering this was the jerk that liked to pull her ears as her eyes trailed up that well-toned back and shoulders then followed his beefy arms as they went down and -Oh my god he's taking off his pants!-
Well not fully… just down enough that her eyes were drawn to a pair of black briefs and…
Velvet blinked a few times. -What the hell is that…?-
Just above Cardin's basically speedo-like black briefs was a brown patch of fur, just above his tail bone… only it moved… and as soon as everything was off and he reached back to touch it the thing wiggled and Velvet could feel her whole body blush.
That was a tail. Cardin Winchester had a tail.
-Not just ANY tail!- her mind screamed as he moved it about experimentally, flicking it up and down in a way she couldn't take her eyes off of as it basically flashed her the thick brown fur on top and then went up high and she saw a strip of white underneath that made a lot of noise go off in her head.
Cardin Winchester had a bunny tail.
"Hsssh," the boy sucked in his teeth as he moved his hands, wiggling his tail to the side after finding the spot that hurt. There was a cut on the side and it hurt like hell, not to mention it felt like the damn thing had been crushed. "Stupid thing…" he growled, couldn't just have avoided the slip could he? No had to get literally kicked in the ass so hard that bitch nearly broke his fucking- "ARGH!" he had to straighten up and throw his hands up in pure frustration.
Damnit! Why did he have to be born with the stupid thing! Why couldn't he just be normal! Just a regular fucking human! Noooo his mom had to have some dirty faunus blood in her from way back when and he had to be the one stuck with the damn results!
He whipped around and struck a tree with both fists.
"Eep!"
Huh?
Since when did trees squeak?
Looking down Cardin came face to face with that bunny girl he picked on earlier in the year.
"Uh-hi!" she squeaked, waving her hand as she was scrunched in a nervous ball and her wide brown eyes showed just how terrified she was of this situation.
A situation that involved him with his pants down to his thighs, his briefs about level with her ears and oh yea- HIS GODDAMN TAIL STICKING OUT!
The two just stared at each other for a long second.
Her ears bobbed, his tail twitched, they both turned redder by the second but both were too freaked out to move or even break eye contact.
"I should," she pointed behind herself and tried to move.
With an angry growl he immediately grabbed one of her ears, causing her to squeak in pain and flinch, making him just clinch his teeth and get more pissed off, "The hell are you doing here!"
She was in a defensive ball, eyes scrunched shut, "L-Let go!"
His jaw clinched, his tail twitched, and with a roar he did as she asked, turning around and skulking away to where his armor was, "Damnit!" he sat down and punched the ground, "Just fucking great!" he did it again.
Daring to open her eyes, Velvet looked at the angry boy. His back was facing her giving her a full view of his back and the fluffy little appendage that certainly shouldn't have been there. Reaching up she rubbed her ear that he grabbed and dared to stand, looking at the boy.
He'd caused her so many problems and been such a jackass to her and other faunus…
But this? THIS?
Never in a million years would she have thought the biggest bully on campus was one of their own…
-It makes no sense?- brown brows furrowed as she looked the boy over. She'd never seen Cardin without a shirt on, not that she ever wanted to, but now…
He had scars, lots of them. Most looked old and covered up by newer ones. Some were big like a whip or something had been used on him, others small like cuts and a few were circles that looked like burns.
The sight brought up a well of sympathy she never thought she'd feel for the jerk.
"Don't look at me like that," the boy growled, apparently seeing her through the mirror on his armor in front of him, "Stupid animal…"
Now she was angry, "You're one to talk!" boldly she took several steps forward and knelt down behind him causing the boy to stiffen.
"Don't you dare-!" he moved to elbow her but she just ducked. He tried the other side and she reached forward and grabbed his tail, "ACK!"
Velvet giggled as he shot face first into the dirk, sticking his butt up in the air, ironically giving her easier access to his fluffy tail. She didn't want to be mean, just see if this thing was real and how injured he was… the fact that she squeezed it and caused him to growl in pain was just karma, "Serves you right!"
Cardin growled into the dirt, "Let go you damn Faunus bitch!"
She ran her thumb along the spine of his tail, pushing the hair backwards and he seemed to jolt, "Funny, I seem to recall hearing that before…"
This time the bully just hit his fist on the ground, relenting to his new position; lying out as flat as he could while he was humiliatingly at the mercy of this damn rabbit-girl he used to pick on. -Damnit, how did this day get so messed up…-
Velvet scooted to the side, poking his legs and letting him lie out flat, but quickly went back to his now erect tail, "Cardin…" her voice trailed as she bit her lips, not sure how to ask, "How did you-?"
"I was born with it!" he bit out, facing away from her, "Just like every one of you filthy mongrels!"
Her cheeks reddened as she pouted at him, maybe tugging his tail, "I wasn't asking that! I was going to ask what happened!" she ran her finger along the cut on the side of his tail and could feel it move fairly stiffly, "What did you do that got you this hurt that you ran out here in such a hurry?"
"Che," the boy frowned into his arms, "Why're you asking?" when she didn't answer he just got angrier, "What, going to show me pity now? Huh! Gonna bawl or something about-OW!"
With her free hand Velvet swiftly punched him in the kidney, which she noticed had a bruise. The boy groaned and she made sure he could see her furious face reflected in his armor, "Stop with the act and just tell me what happened."
"I don't know what you're talking about," he mumbled into the ground.
Velvet just sighed, feeling around the appendage. She knew what she'd have to do but he wouldn't like it, "This is going to hurt."
"Huh?" he raised his head to see her looking at his tail seriously then felt her place her other hand on his hip, "Hey, what the hell do you think you're-AAARRRRGGHHH!" he slammed his fists into the ground and tried not to yell too much.
Basically Velvet had pulled his tail. Not to be mean or anything but because the bones were dislocated and couldn't heal properly unless set right, "Sorry, you kinda… basically…" there was a short snort, "Stubbed your tail."
Cardin just groaned. He didn't want to admit that for the first time in months it felt like there wasn't some built up pressure at the base of his tail or a sharp pain. Oh, there was pain, LOTS of it… just, not the same and it was dissipating.
With a small frown Velvet mostly let go of the fluffy appendage, running her finger along it absentmindedly causing him to twitch every so often as it was still quite sensitive, "This kind of thing happens a lot if you get it stuck in a certain way for too long or get hit here," it wiggled slightly and she couldn't help but giggle.
"Would you stop that," the boy growled. She kept touching his fucking tail. The horrible thing, the damn bane of his existence… and she kept touching it and giggling. It was utterly humiliating.
"S-sorry," she actually scratched the base of it! There was a small diamond patch of hair around the base of his tail that faded out and she was scratching it! She giggled again, "It's just so cute!"
His entire body went red and worst of all his tail went straight up, "Shut up."
"Cardin?" her voice was soft with worry.
"I SAID SHUT UP!" he punched the ground again. This was stupid! And wrong! All of it! She'd probably go blab to everyone and he'd be the goddamn laughing stock! It'd be even worst then what he put up with right now!
They were silent for a long time.
Cardin turned away from his armor so he couldn't see her but irritatingly enough he could still feel her damn hand on his tail. What the hell was her damn fascination with that horrible, ugly appendage of his?
Her fingers moved gently from the base of his tail to the tip, avoiding the cut on the side, and moving back down. She repeated the motion slowly and his body started to visibly relax.
After a while of this… torture, he couldn't help but ask, "What're you doing?"
"Hmm?" she seemed to snap out of something, "Oh! Well, it wouldn't do to just pull it out like I did without messaging the muscles, it helps a lot to flex them and move it about freely, not… keep it held up all the time…" her face slowly started to turn red.
"Tch," her grunted facing away, "You talk like you know about this… thing… but you don't have one…" well as far as he knew. Wasn't it Faunus only had one big animal feature? Some had more didn't they?
"Mmhm," she nodded, still mainly focused on playing with his fluffy tail, "I don't have one but some of my family members do, hehe," a hand rose up as she giggled behind it, "I got to hear them complain a lot, they always said I was lucky getting ears!" then hers twitched and she remembered who she was talking to, "Er, well, they thought so," absentmindedly she reached up and rubbed one of her bunny ears, "Personally I'd rather have something I could hide better…"
"Heh." The boy just kept looking away.
His indifference caused Velvet to pout at him. -Honestly, he's the biggest issue I've had since coming here…- her brown eyes looked down where her hand was scratching his tail. -Now this!- she really wanted to be mad at him, she really did… but his tail was just too damn cute! Of course the moment her eyes moved away she found the scars on his back and she sobered quickly.
On impulse she switched hands, messaging his tail still and moving her right to trail along one of the biggest scars.
Cardin immediately tensed and roared at her, putting his hands down as if her were going to move, "DON'T TOUCH ME!"
Immediately she pulled both of her hands back, frightened by the fierceness in his voice and the burning hatred in his eyes.
"W-where," her voice seemed to find itself as her eyes were stuck on his, "Where did you get those scars?" gently her one of her hands pulled away from her chest and attempted to reach out to him. He just growled and turned away, sitting again with his back to her. Her brows furrowed and again she felt that errant sympathy for the jerk, "You don't get scars like that from training…"
"Hmp," he threw back a spiteful grunt, "Isn't it obvious," he nodded his head to the armor still sitting on the ground near them, bearing the Winchester crest, "Winchesters are hunters, humans that served during the great war and fought against the filthy animals…" his shoulders actually shook, "It's our job to put them in their place, make sure they understand they aren't one of us, aren't equal to us, just damn half-breeds lucky to not be wiped out by us."
A hand went to Velvet's mouth as she tried to stem the feelings that rose up with each horrible word he spoke. Tears filled her eyes as she easily put things together. "Y-your parents… they did this to you?"
He said nothing, just facing ahead.
She was absolutely appalled! What kind of parents did this to their child! And if he was born like this, remembering his shout earlier, why would they be surprised? Didn't that mean one of his parents was a Faunus too? -Obviously not his father since the name so that means…- she gasped, "Your mother… she was…?"
The boy just kept his face down but she could see the tension in his jaw and shoulders.
"So that means your father did this to you," her hands lowered to her lap, her gaze following as well. It was such a sad story. He was born what he was but raised by such a horrible person, probably pounding into his head daily all his hate and rhetoric to the point he believed it. -That means… he made him hate himself…- That's when Velvet looked up and studied his scars, maybe some of them were self-inflicted?
She couldn't help her actions, scooting closer to the poor boy and reaching out…
"Don't touch me," his voice growled out but nowhere near as loud as it was before.
She hesitated a moment more before gathering her courage and reaching out, placing her hand on his back.
He visibly stiffened and growled at her.
She didn't back down, a determined look coming over her face as she placed her hand flat on his back, over one of the larger scars, "I'm sorry…"
"Tch," he growled, "Just take your hand off…"
Her hand moved, sending a shiver down his spine, "I'm sorry someone would do this to you and make you hate yourself and your own kind so much-"
"THEY'RE NOT MY KIND!" he roared, standing up and taking several steps away, seething and gripping his hands into tight fists.
"Cardin!" she stood up as well, afraid and not sure what to do but now that she had some understanding behind why this boy was the way he was she couldn't just let this go on.
"SHUT UP!" he yelled back, still not turning towards her. He fumbled with his pants, pulling them up and fastening them around his waist, reaching back to stuff his tail in place so it wouldn't move or be noticed.
Velvet winced, that must have been uncomfortable. -No wonder he's always in a bad mood, he's probably in constant pain…- he brushed right past her, going to grab his shirt and sash and she just knew he was going to fasten it tightly, keeping his tail stuck straight up and in an uncomfortable position flat against his back.
Without thinking she stepped forward and grabbed him around the arm, "STOP IT!"
"GET OFF ME!" he threw his arm back, trying to throw her off, but the bunny girl held on tightly, closing her eyes and trying to just stop him from hurting himself even more. Cardin seethed, raising his fist and turned to strike her.
She had her eyes closed and held onto his arm tighter, waiting for the hit.
It never came.
Velvet dared to crack open one eye. Cardin had his fist drawn back, ready to hit her but it was shaking, his lips were pulled back in a snarl with his jaws clinched, his brows low and threatening, all of it showing his anger and frustration. But his eyes were different. Those indigo orbs were narrow, trying so hard to hate like the rest of him but instead there were tears held at the edges.
Was she actually getting through to him?
Opening both eyes she blinked at him, surprised by his restraint, "Cardin," her voice was low and soft and she could feel a deep blush forming on her cheeks, "I think your tail is really cute."
His fist shook, his eyes widened and his whole body seemed to heat up as red passed over his cheeks.
He looked kind of cute flustered.
"Tch," he lowered his fist roughly and turned away from her. What the hell was wrong with this girl!
With a light giggle, Velvet took advantage of him mostly turning away from her. While still holding one arm over his she reached behind him and tugged his pants down a bit, letting his tail be freer and it wiggled almost appreciatively.
"H-Hey!" he jumped away from her, face still red and pissed off by her actions.
Now dislodged from him she giggled again, holding up both hands looking cute as her ears bobbed, "You really should put a hole or something in your pants so you can let it move about freely…"
He just growled and looked away, "You know I can't do that…"
"Why not?" holding both her hands behind her she leaned to the side and tried to catch his gaze, something she never thought she'd do before.
She was getting too close again, Cardin tried to look away but his feet wouldn't move, "I-I'm human… human's don't have…" he gulped, "Have… t-tails…"
She smiled with her eyes, reaching out to take his hand, ignoring as he jumped and tried to pull away, "Cardin," she spoke softly, rubbing his hand, "You're at Beacon, you're an adult," she moved to hold his hand with both of hers, looking at it instead of trying to catch his face, "You don't have to be whatever your father said you're supposed to be anymore," her ear twitched and when she looked up with a smile he was looking at her skeptically, "You can drop all of this and be who you truly are…"
His hand clinched into a fist and he looked at the ground. so hard he wanted to just run away, pretend this never happened. Keep his name, keep the illusion, fall back on the hate from his old man and push her away… -I'm human, I'm a Winchester, it doesn't matter what I've been doing, what happened I'm supposed to be…-
One of her hands reached behind him again and started playing with his tail, causing her to giggle again.
Cardin growled, turning towards her with a glare, "Would you STOP that!"
Velvet couldn't help it. An hour ago that look on his face would have sent her running for the hills, but right now? For whatever damnable reason she thought his anger was kind of cute. So instead of doing the sensible thing and running for the hills, she put one hand up and continued giggling at him.
"Argh!" frustrated beyond all reason by this-this-this GIRL! He threw up both his hands in clinching fists near her head.
The second she realized what he was doing she squeaked and flinched.
But Cardin never grabbed her ears.
Peaking up she noticed his hands were close to where they had been, his hands opened with fingers clinched and a look of pure hatred on his face…
But it was like he was frozen and couldn't go ahead and do it.
After a few seconds of standing there and looking pissed, doing nothing, he ended up just slapping his hands over his eyes and screaming something incoherent.
Okay, he was definitely starting to scare her again.
"Goddamnit!" his hands lowered around his mouth and he glared at her before finally pulling them away, "I've been trying… TRYING to do this whole bullshit 'be a better person' thing from fucking Jauney-boy, trying to not bother anyone no matter how much I want to punch them in the face, then you come along and you just have to see this! See me like this!" he waved his hands out wide, spinning around so he could walk away a bit and ironically giving her full view of his tail again.
She giggled as it flicked at her.
"AND you're fucking GIGGLING!" he turned around and stomped right back to her, glaring down at her with the most frustrated, angry face around, "And the worst?! You tell me to just accept it! Accept this!" he turned around again, pointing at his little fluffy brown tail.
On impulse Velvet tried to reach out and pet it again but he turned around too fast and she now ended up even closer to him than before. Her face properly turned a few shades redder.
He glared down at her, "Is that what you want me to do?" he threw one hand out, "Just throw away my entire life, everything I've known and thought of and show off this fucking tail like its goddamn normal?"
Adorable brown eyes just blinked at him, "It is really cute…"
He slapped a hand to his face, rubbing his eyes, "You're going to get me killed…"
Biting her lip, and trying not to giggle at the way he was acting, she reached out and grabbed his other hand, "Cardin," her soft voice implored, "If you really want to change, be someone better," she noticed his fingers split over his eyes and one of his eyes was staring at her. She smiled brightly, "Then stop hiding who you are, let go of all this pain and hate you inherited and just…" suddenly she looked down, feeling her cheeks warm as she rubbed his hand, "Open up and trust…"
He stared at her. After a moment he lowered his hand and just stared at her a good long while. She was absolutely fucking nuts. If he let this out… if he admitted what he was… what he was feeling… it'd destroy everything around him. He'd be disowned, probably killed, at the very least cut off from his racist family and never spoken to again. -is it worth it?-
Looking down at Velvet, a Faunus girl he'd picked on before, made her life miserable and was all around just a complete dick to her… yet here she was… being nice to him, not even caring so much what he hid, even accepting it fairly quickly, when he sure as hell didn't deserve it.
He was a complete jerk. Jaune showed him that, showed how weak and pathetic he was too. He was trying to not be such an asshole to everyone but it…
"It's hard," he looked away from her sweet face, unconsciously gripping her hand. He needed something right now, some kind of guidance and frankly she was the only one here.
Velvet just smiled at him, "It's supposed to be," she gripped his hand back, looking down with a blush on her face, "Hatred is easy, that's why people do it, but love…" her hands trembled, "Love is hard, that's why there isn't enough of it…"
For a moment she felt his hand heat up before he pulled it away and turned around, "I-I never said ANYTHING about love! Y-you stupid rabbit!"
For a moment she blinked, then noticed his whole upper body seemed to have turned red and his tail was sticking straight up, very annoyed. She giggled again, "I-it's just an old saying," she waved her hand dismissively.
"Tch!" he kept his face away, trying not to look at her.
Bringing her hand down, Velvet looked at the poor boy again with sympathy, "It'll be hard," she grabbed her hands behind her back, bouncing a bit, "But I think it'd be better for you to move forward, away from your past," an actual frown spread on her face as Cardin turned around, "People… people who hurt others like that," she nodded towards him, his back with all the scars, "They don't deserve any consideration…"
"So assholes like me," the words were out of his mouth before he noticed, and the second he did he wanted to bite his tongue. What right did he have to be so snippy?
Luckily Velvet just pouted at him, "You're trying to change, right?" her hand reached out to grab his, reassuring him, she hoped, that he was doing the right thing, "You want to be better," she rubbed his hand absentmindedly, "so I'm sure, one day, you'll be forgiven."
"Just not today," he snorted, tugging his hand out of hers, then bending down to grab his shirt.
She pouted, "It's a start…"
He put his arms through the sleeves and paused before putting his head in, glancing over at her, "Could…" he groaned, shaking his head not believing he was doing this, "Could you at least give me some time to think about this…"
She smiled at him somewhat cheekily, "Fine," she almost skipped behind him, grabbing his tail as he pulled his shirt on making him start, "But if you're going to hide this, could you try to not do it in such a painful way?"
He groaned, rolling his eyes.
Seeing as he wasn't going to listen to her, she grabbed the edge of his pants, "Would you just trust someone who has more experience being a Faunus than you," and quickly shoved her hand down his pants, pulling at the edge of his briefs and tucking his tail in down flat against his butt, "There, that should be a bit more comfortable, though you will have to let it out some to move around and try not to slouch so much so you're not sitting on it…"
"If you're going to give me advice," Cardin nearly vibrated with barely contained frustration as he yanked down his shirt, "Could you at least remove your hand from my ass!"
Opening her eyes with a start, Velvet looked down and realized yes, her hand was indeed still in his pants… in his underwear in fact. -He really does have a nice ass…- turning red at that traitorous thought she quickly yanked her hand out of his pants and let him adjust as necessary before moving to put the rest of his armor and outfit on.
Once he was finished, the large boy turned around to find the girl still staring at waist level, "What?"
"It's such a shame," she heard him growl as she looked back up at him, "it really is just so cute!"
"Argh!" Cardin whipped around, ready to go back, "Would you shut up about that!" then all but jumped out of his skin as he felt a hand on his posterior. Immediately a red faced glare turned on the older girl, "Would you stop touching me!"
Slyly, Velvet snickered into her hand, not removing the one from his backside, "Why does that sound so familiar…"
"Oh ha-ha," Cardin groaned, picking up the pace and walking ahead of her, "Very funny…"
Velvet let him walk a bit ahead, removing her hand from him and putting it behind her back with her other one, and nearly skipped behind the broody boy, "I think it's fair you get a taste of your own medicine," she patted his backside again before skipping ahead, twirling around at his stunned form and smirking, "You might just learn something."
For a moment the boy just growled at her then looked away, "I think I liked you better when you were scared of me…"
She skipped back up to him and looked up into his eyes with something almost sinister, "Get used to it, bunny-boy~"
Cardin's whole body shook before he turned to her with a glare, "You had better not-!"
For whatever reason, probably to mess with him, probably because she felt sympathy for him now, Velvet Scarlatina leaned forward and kissed the angry boy on the cheek.
He completely froze.
She pulled back with a smirk on her face, "I told you it was cute!" then turned around and skipped back to school. She had a book to go find and return, not needing it anymore as she had something better to think about.
Cardin just stood there frozen for a second before his whole body shook and he shouted loud enough for probably the whole school to hear, "WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?!"
Velvet just snickered, wondering when the next time she could catch him with his pants down and play with that cute fluffy little bunny tail.
A/N: i have no idea where this idea came from... it just popped up and the sudden idea of Cardin with a BUNNY-tail had me laughing so hard, especially since i could see Velvet too stunned by this reveal to think straight and keep trying to pet it... because its cute~
of course that also brought about the idea of how that would effect him and his growing up... if his parents were racist jerks and he was born like this, they'd treat him even worse and it'd probably get to the point he only knows how to interact with people through violence, as violence begets violence and sometimes that's the source of bullying... sometimes, not all times, but its good to try and understand others as that is A LOT harder than just shutting them out...
people are jerks and there's generally a reason for it~
i wonder if the spirit of Monty will possess me again to play with his toys?
oh well, review! tell me what you think! and check out my other RWBY stories: Oh Ren, Deluge, and Team SLVR~ :D
Till next -salute-waves- Sayounara, Mina!
