This story doesn't have a definitive plot and is a collection of random ideas that I had that wouldn't really coincide with the actual story.
Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY. It belongs to Rooster Teeth and the late and great Monty Oum.
The morning sun blanketed the world of Remnant. Although, unlike most mornings it was not pleasant in the slightest. Recent weather reports say that a heat wave will hit Remnant like a freight train and the sun was only making it worse. As such, pretty much everyone was not willing to do much of anything. A lone early bird was already up and about in Emerald Forest, fighting off Grimm and exploring the wildlife there. It was his own way of getting house mind off of the increasing temperature.
During his excursion, he spotted a lone red flower from his peripheral vision and went towards it. He crouched down to get a better look at it, and took a snapshot on his scroll. He glimpsed at it once more as the flower's petals scrunched inwards, piquing the boy's curiosity. The flower then sprayed a red coloured pollen all over his face, making him cough and sputter. He then let out an accidentally-aura-boosted sneeze, causing the pollen around him and the remaining pollen in the flower to fly at high speeds towards his school, Beacon Academy.
The boy rubbed his nose clean and sniffles one last time before uttering "…the hell was that all about?"
Meanwhile…
The young students at Beacon Academy were being antagonized by the blazing heat. Despite the institution's air conditioning, the sun proceed to be a force to be reckoned with. Many students took whatever actions they could to beat the heat which, yes, included stripping down (Jiggly bits EVERYWHERE).
Going to the main cast, Team RWBY battled relentlessly against their toughest foe yet: rising temperatures. They tried EVERYTHING: the big ceiling fan, Weiss Schnee's mini fans (Asking her why she has those will result in immediate freezing. Kuro Arc had learned that the hard way), paper fans, and even shedding their clothes down to their undies and still they were sweating like pigs. Yang Xiao Long was going to go commando if not for the rest of her team yelling at her not to do so.
"Aaaagh! What the HELL is up with you, Sun?!" a sweaty Yang shook her fist to the ceiling
"What'd I do?!" the blond monkey Faunas, Sun Wukong shouted from a nearby tree.
"Not you, Sun! Other Sun!"
"Okay, then!" Sun replied, then jumped off of his tree to go do something that'll get his mind off the heat.
"I knoooooooow…" the titular Ruby Rose groaned as she flipped over on the floor. "How long has this heat wave been going ooooooooon~"
"As of now… eleven hours, fifty-eight minutes" came a dry comment from Blake Belladonna, the team's ninja feline Faunas. The time was 11:58am right now.
"This is no time for snarky comments, Blake…" Weiss says while using two of her own mini fans on herself. The brunette shrugged and continued with her reading. Not even a big f***ing heat wave was gonna tear her away from literature. The heiress however couldn't stand the heat anymore and grabbed a towel and other bath linens and stormed out the room, to hot to care that she was still in her undergarments.
"Where are you going, Weiss?!" Ruby groaned out.
"I'm taking a—KYA!" Weiss suddenly screamed, which put the other three on high alert as they grabbed their weapons (while still in their undergarments, mind you) and took off towards Weiss's location, but stopped for brief moment to question—
("Did Weiss just say 'Kya?'")
They made to her and asked the traditional "what happened," their only response was pointing around the corner towards the dormitory's showing area. The remaining three poked their heads to see a half-naked Kuro, clad only in black boxers with flame patterns, holding a mug of coffee with a towel slung on his shoulder. By the looks of it, he had just gotten out of the showers and judging by his sleepy expression (-_-), he wasn't up for very long.
…That and the fact that he kept hitting every single wall in the hallway with his body. Somehow, the mug's contents stayed inside there.
"Kuro must've gotten the same idea we had." Ruby commented.
"Mama likey~" Yang's eyebrows went up and down as she licked her lips while eyeing Kuro from top to bottom. Blake did the same in silence, blushing the entire time.
"WAIT! WHY IS HE DRINKING COFFEE?! THAT'S TOO MUCH HOTNESS! I'LL SAVE YOU, HEDGEHOG!" Ruby went ballistic for a second, the heat finally getting to her and charged straight at the drowsy young man, Crescent Rose held up high. Her teammates tried to stop her, but it was too late and she swung…
…and split Kuro's coffee mug in half, the handle still in his grip and the coffee suspended in midair for a brief moment before finally meeting the floor. Kuro's half lidded blue eyes met Ruby's frantic silver.
"ローズバッド、なぜ…?" he said. At first, she was confused, but then remembered Kuro's habit of speaking in Japanese whenever he gets up in the morning. Luckily, they had Blake, who could roughly translate as Ruby and the others turned her head towards her.
"He said 'Rosebud, why?'"
"I was saving you from the tyranny of this heat! One step at a time!"
"なぜあなたは、あなたの下着で3とワイスですか?"
"Blake?"
"He's asking why we're all in our underwear."
"さて、停止します。私はしたいが、もう知りません…" Kuro says while holding his hands up.
"Never mind. He doesn't want to know anymore."
"あなたのすべては、しかし、かなりセクシーに見えます" Blake started blushing heavily at his comment, gathering everyone else's attention.
"Blake? What'd he say this time?"
"He-He called all of us… sexy…" she began fidgeting and became more self-aware. Ruby and Weiss gained the same shade of red as she did while Yang smirked and jerked her eyebrows.
"So… you like what you see, Hedgehog?" she asked lustfully. Kuro just shrugged, still a little too out of it to give a proper response. Yang was undeterred as she pressed her glorious clothed chest onto his naked one.
"Would you like to see what's under these?"
That was what got a reaction out of the boy. He gained the obvious luminescent blush as well as the urge to nosebleed. He sent a pleading look towards the blonde's teammates.
"Yang. We came here to shower. Not antagonize Kuro. Let's go." Blake dragged her into there girls' showers with a still red-faced Ruby and Weiss tailing them.
"私は今、私のコーヒーを取りに行くつもりです…" Kuro muttered while walking away.
"WHAT?!" Ruby shouted from inside.
"He's going to get his coffee." Blake translated once more.
"NOOOOOOO!"
"YOU WILL STAY IN HERE AND SHOWER, ROSE!" Weiss screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Yes, ma'am…" Ruby squeaked.
Later…
After finishing their daily routine of getting ready in the morning, the girls donned their school uniforms and head out to start their classes. However, the blazing heat causes their movements to be slightly sluggish. Or in Ruby's case, she was walking as if she ran a two million mile sprint without using her Semblance.
"Ugh… I… swear to Oum… I will… kill… whoever… invented… heat…" she breathed.
"While I actually agree with you, Ruby, we don't have summer uniforms so suck it up and keep going." Weiss was the one to reply to her leader's complaint. While in the halls, Yang looked out the window to her right and saw a large group of students gathered around a particular spot on the ground as well as Headmaster Ozpin and Professor Goodwitch. She recognized two people amongst the group.
"Yo, Velv! P-money!" she called out, catching both girls' attention.
"Good morning, Yang." Pyrrha greeted gingerly.
"G-Good morning…" Velvet stuttered slightly. Sheer noticed Ruby trudging along as if she was walking through the Sahara desert, who wasn't a bad comparison considering the heat. "I-Is Ruby alright?"
"She'll be fine. She's just overdramatic. Should've seen her earlier, she flipped out because of Hedgehog drinking coffee." the last sentence caught Ozpin's attention. A fellow coffee drinker?
"Anyways, what's happening here?" the blonde asked while taking a look at… a flower and a pile of red pollen on the stand. "What's this now?"
"It's a rare type of plant found only in Forever Fall. It's called the Amorius Philocydus, but I just call it the Cherry-Blossom Bonding Plant!"
"Does… Does it do anything?" Ruby asked, now interested.
"Yes, it does." Ozpin answered, then took a swig of his coffee as silence pursued.
"Um… Headmaster?"
"Yes?"
"You didn't tell us what it does."
"I know."
"Why?"
"You asked whether or not it did anything. Not what it does exactly." the silver haired man replied with a hidden smirk.
"What does it do, then?" Ruby asked as he walked away, his blonde associate following.
"Simple: we don't know." all of the students face faulted. Although, the impact of everyone's collision with the pavement made the flower fall. When that happened, the flower released a cloud of pollen which doused all of the students, barely missing the two stunned adults.
"How did—" Glynda asked, eyebrows furrowed.
"Nuts to quantum physics, Glynda. This is anime." Ozpin replied as he turned around, walking back to his office.
"Please don't ever say that again, sir…"
During classes, the students that were doused with the flower's pollen were experiencing… things. A weird feeling started to brew inside of them. A type of heat that was different from the heat of the sun. Team RWBY and Pyrrha were included in the mix.
Kuro's PoV
I've noticed that a couple of my classmates have started acting strange. I just assumed that it was because of the heat wave. I was using my aura to help regulate my temperature, so I wasn't that affected. I was told that I had a fairly large reserve, but nowhere near Jaune's level.
Anyways, throughout the day, I've been getting there feeling of being… watched. What I mean is, every time try to enjoy my day, I get chills all of a sudden. Lemme give a few examples for you skeptics out there.
At the library, I was just picking out a book to read in my dorm when all of a sudden, Weiss was there, staring at me from behind a nearby bookcase. I'm pretty sure that she knew that I caught her staring, but she didn't move out say anything. She just… stared at me. And unless I was seeing things, her cheeks were kinda red. I ignored it, checked out my read, and left while still feeling her gaze on me.
Later, I was getting a drink out of the vending machines since I was thirsty. I did the usual: put the money in, make my choice, and pop! I opened the can and drank until I felt two big, marshmallow-y soft cushions on my back and breathing down my neck. I turn around: Yang! She's pressing her breasts on me. I'm not complainin—wait, STOP!
She just smirks at me and leans further onto me to the point where I'm leaning face first on the wall! She even started biting my ear while purring like a cat. It was really awkward for me, but I'm sure that to her it was a thrill of a lifetime.
At night, I do some late night training before curfew. I was doing fine. My concentration was good… until Rosebud poked her head out of the doorway. Now, if I know something about Rosebud, it's that she's TERRIBLE at espionage. I look directly at her and she turns red and hides. I go back to training and feel her looking at me again. It was an endless cycle until I couldn't take it anymore.
The next morning, I'm trying to get a cup of coffee. I almost forgot my sugar, so I left the counter and went to go grab some. I hear the door opening and, instinctively, I take a look and there's Blake. I say good morning to her and go back to my sugar. But then I'm still in her half lidded stare. She stands right there behind the counter not doing anything. I also noticed her exposed cat ears are twitching like crazy and she's blushing. I turn around one more time and then feel her arms around my neck. I could hear her purring too.
"Mine…" she muttered into my shirt. I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that.
Normal PoV
Yesterday
The girls of Team RWBY went straight for their dorm after classes ended. The reason being that they had remnants (lol) of the pollen that they were doused with earlier this morning and had all agreed to change out of their uniforms as soon as possible. They didn't have time for showers, but at least they were out of their pollinated clothes.
"That's much better." Weiss sighed.
"That stuff got everywhere." Blake pats her arm clear of the remaining pollen on her.
"I know! If it got in my hair, I'm gonna be so pissed!" Yang says whilst brushing her hair, tiny red specks falling from her tresses. "AAARGH!"
"Easy, Yang. At least it's better than having it cut, right?" Ruby tried to placate her sister.
Yang was about to retort before she started feel a bit lightheaded and clutched her forehead. She tried shaking it off by literally shaking her head. This worried and confused the rest of them until the exact same feeling took over them. After a while, they mysteriously felt… better(?) They couldn't explain, but it felt like their hearts were soaring right now.
"My head felt like magic just now…" Ruby groaned and reoriented herself with Remnant.
"I think I just had a mini-aneurysm…" Yang exaggerated.
"Whatever that was, it's over. That, I'm thankful for." Weiss says calmly. "Hey, where's Blake?"
"I dunno. But what I do know, is that I'm about to go see Kuro." Ruby heads out without another word.
'How'd she know that that's what I was going to do?! No way! I've got to stop her!' Weiss conspired in her head, making the same face she did before initiation, and left as well.
"No one's stealing my man! Not even my own baby sister!" Yang threw her brush away and left the dorm. She ran into Pyrrha on her way and they collided with each other.
"Sorry, Yang! Can't talk! Gotta find Jaune! See ya!" Pyrrha says almost frantically and bolted. Yang just shrugged and went to go find Kuro.
Both brothers shuddered as they felt that something bad was going to happen.
In Ozpin's office, Professors Peach and Oobleck entered and sat in front of Ozpin's desk.
"Headmaster, sir! We have news on the Amorius Philocydus!" Peach slammed on Ozpin's desk with excitement.
"Humor me."
"Well, sir, it seems that the plant's pollen is actually an semi-aphrodisiac." Oobleck stated.
"Semi-aphrodisiac, Bartholomew?"
"The pollen doesn't force anyone sprayed with it to fall in love, but instead it amplifies one's feelings towards a certain other person. It takes the person closest to their hearts and bumps up their feelings towards them." Peach explained.
"Have any of the students been sprayed with the pollen?" Ozpin stopped in the middle of his drink.
"That silence means yes, correct?" That was more of a statement than a question. "How many?"
"Fifteen. And just a question: what is a possible cure for this pollen?"
"That, we haven't discovered yet. We just found out it's effects." Ozpin rubbed his temples.
"Better than nothing, I believe. Please continue researching." he motioned for then to leave his office.
"Yes, sir." both scientists left to go back to their research.
"I shall pray for you, Jaune and Kuro Arc…"
Present day
With the bros…
("A-CHOO!") Both boys sneezed simultaneously.
"That was weird." Jaune muttered while wiping his nose.
"Yeah, it felt like someone was talking about us." Kuro agreed.
"Oh, gods. I hope not. That usually means something bad is about to hapPEEEEEEeeeennn!" a bronze blur passed Kuro, took Jaune, and ran down the hall.
"Jaune? Bro?" Kuro scratched his head in confusion until his scroll vibrated. Unlocking it, he saw that he got a message.
To: Kuro
From: Rosebud
Subject: no subject
Would you come to our room? We need to talk.
Deciding that he's got nothing to lose, Kuro obliged an made his way over to Team RWBY's dorm. He knocked on the door thrice when he was viciously pulled inside and pushed into one of the beds. He was approached and pinned by Weiss, who had a nervously red face, with the rest of her team right beside the bed.
Another thing Kuro had to note was the fact that they were all in their underwear… again…
"一体何が起こっているの?" Kuro asked in Japanese due to shock.
"Blake?"
"He's asking what's going on?" the cat Faunas translated for the umpteenth time this chapter.
"Before we answer that, Kuro. We have a question…"
"And that is?" the girls started blushing nervously.
"What do you think about all of us? As people?" Ruby asked while averting her eyes.
"I think you're all the coolest girls I've met or will meet in the future. You all have a special charm that makes each of you unique. Rosebud's really cute, quirky, and always there to brighten up anyone's day. Sunflower is a total badass with a cool motorcycle and an overall fun-loving attitude. Ribbons over there is calm, smart, and is totally a ninja when she wants to be. And I like ninjas! And you, Snowflake, while you have that haughty nature of yours you're also very prim and proper. The very essence of grace itself. So, of course I like all of you." Kuro ranted with a smile. This brought smiles to all of their faces while brightening their blushes.
"Well, we could go into a lot of detail on how each of us feel about you…" Blake trailed off.
"…but rather than talk…" Ruby filled in.
"…we'll show you." Yang winked at him.
"Now shut up and relax. We'll do the rest…" Weiss demanded as she kissed the stunned boy.
'これはなぜ私に起こっています!勇者のくせになまいきです。!' Kuro thought frantically while the other three closed in on him.
Extra Short! Jaune Tries Basketball
"Are you recording now?"
"Yes, I am. Now go already." Kuro muttered as he held his scroll up. Jaune, for some reason, had decided to try out shooting a basketball. But he was going for a behind the back shot.
'This is more than likely another shot at getting Snowflake again…' Kuro thought as he darted his eyes towards the spectating heiress and his friends. The RBY of RWBY and NPR of JNPR were dragged there as well. Ruby and Nora sat in anticipation. Weiss and Yang were anticipating failure. The rest were neutral at best.
Jaune then turned from the net, smirked and made the shot. It missed and hit the fence right next to it. Kuro then got an idea.
"Oooohhhh!" he shouted in faux-excitement. Jaune fell for it and started jumping for joy while everyone was confused. Kuro instantly dropped the act and looked at his brother with half closed eyes.
"Man, sit your dumb ass down. You didn't make it…" he said flatly and turned off his scroll.
Now, guys, if you want the lemon portion of this up in the next 24 hours, leave a review or PM me. If not, then I'll write the next chapter and have that up whenever.
Please favorite, follow, and review. I'll see you byoutiful sons of guns next time!
~ Peace
