So this is my first ever Fanfic so...yeah, Review, like or whatever you feel like. Oh and critic, critic a lot. Only way i can ever get better at this. So tell me what you Think and have fun Reading it.
Beacon Academy, the greatest school for huntsmen and huntresses in all of Remnant and probably the least boring place in the kingdom of Vale. At least according to Mercury Black. Schools are not really his style but seeing all these huntresses and huntsmen train was the least boring thing he could spend his time watching. Could have been worse, he could have been in some warehouse hiding away alongside Emerald, Cinder, Roman and Neo.
Nights at Beacon however was not as interesting seeing how most of the time it was just empty corridors as everyone had already gone to sleep. Being cramped into the same dorm as Cinder and Emerald, as part of their secret mission, was not bad but not really anything to scream about either. This was one of those nights when he could just not stand it and had to take a walk in the empty corridors.
Walking around with hands in his jacket pockets, not giving much attention to anything, he was just thinking over the reason Cinder wanted them to be here in the first place, until he rounded a corner and bumped into someone.
"What is with this school and having students bump..." he was irritated but was suddenly paralyzed when he saw what he had just walked right into. There she was, a blond girl with lilac colored eyes, dressed in brown and yellow and with the body of a supermodel. Even Cinder would fall for this view.
"Grr, can you watch where you are going?" The girl was obviously not in a good move. It was either the tone in her voice or the fact that her eyes had turned red all of a sudden. Her eyes turned back to Lilac and her tone softened. "Sorry. Am just a bit peeved at my team."
Mercury was a bit nervous, he would not lie to himself, but tried to remain calm. "It's alright. Why are you...peeved, you said?" He looked at the book she held in her hand and the three books on the floor that probably fell after they walked into each other.
"Oh you know, sister forget to grab her books after a visit to the library, Ice queen telling the muscle of the team to go grab them without actually asking. But hey, whatcha gonna do?" She started picking up the books she dropped.
Mercury helped her pick up some of the books with just two questions in his mind, who is this girl? And Ice queen? What? "Sounds like my team leader. It's all just, do what I tell you to do and don't ask questions." Felt good to finally take that off his chest. He was not particularly fond of Cinder but did what she said anyways. A job is a job after all. And not wanting to get fried helps too.
The blond girl looked at him and chuckled a bit as she looked into Mercury s black eyes. "Thank fully Ice queen is not my team leader or else my team would have fallen apart before it even became a team. It's actually my sister that is the leader. Aside from being a bit...gullible and a bit clumsy, I would not have any other leading me"
Mercury looked at her, or rather inspected her, and was still fascinated by the blonds beauty. "She sounds like a good person." He reached with his hand towards her for a handshake. "I'm Mercury, Mercury Black." Was he just about to shake hands with a student at Beacon? This is the exact opposite of what Cinder told him to do, do not get attached to anyone while we are undercover. And yet he did not care.
"I'm Yang Xiao Long." she responded as she grabbed his hand with an extremely firm grip. Mercury had to resist to not show the pain he currently felt in his hand, something he had been very good at while in the company of Cinder. He was honestly a bit surprised when she looked at him and smiled. Not that he complained cause she looked amazing when she smiled.
"Well Yang, how about i hel-" " There you are Mercury" And once again, Emerald interrupted him at the most inappropriate of times. She did not do that often mind you, but when she did interrupt him it was always at times when he either wanted to be alone or when he was talking to someone. Mercury turned around and looked at the dark skinned, red eyed partner of his. Mercury did like watching those red eyes of hers. Emerald said "Unless you don't mind, but I was told to bring you back to the dorm. Come on." She was Cinders little lapdog as always.
Mercury turned back to Yang who stood there with a smirk on her face for some reason. Probably was something funny she thought of. "Well I have to go it seems. I'll see you around, Yang".
He turned his back to her with hands in pockets and walked with Emerald back to the dorm as he heard Yang say "We sure will. I'll book it."
He slightly chuckled at the pun she made but was immediately cut off by Emerald. "So, who is your new friend?" Wanting to keep his cool around Emerald and just seem like he did not care simply responded with "Don't know. Just met her."
Emerald gave him a playful smile at Mercury, the kind that says 'I don't believe you', and then with a tone as playful as her smile said "Well she looked good I suppose. But remember what Cinder said about attachment to people here". 'Perfect choice of words there Emerald'.
"Aw, sounds like someone is a bit jealous". Mercury loved to make comments like this towards Emerald just for her reaction which involves narrowing eyes, gritting her teeth and then growl. And it was also a good way to make her shut up while focusing on not killing Mercury.
He toke this time to think of Yang again. Every second of their conversation was playing around in his head over and over. All from the crash into her till the moment he turned around and heard her pun. Even the mention of her sister and the unknown person she referred to as Ice Queen.
She was fascinating, she was gorgeous, she seemed to have a nice personality and she had a nice sense of humor. Is this is what she really was like or was this just his first impression on her? Mercury could not wait to find out.
