Getting accepted into beacon, dealing with an over-hyper friend, and seeing a guy puke himself almost to death? Yep… this is definitely not going to be a quiet year. That's what went through the head of one of the many new students of Beacon, Lie Ren. Though his friends just call him Ren. Well he only had one friend so…
"Where did she run off to?" He asked aloud as he looked through the giant mass of students who were walking around the school.
Ren like many of the other students were exploring the fields… well more like his friend Nora was exploring and ran off and Ren is trying to find her before she got herself lost. Think he's overreacting? If you knew her.
A heavy sigh escaped the ninja as he pinched the bridge of his nose. "Come on Ren," He began to try and reason with himself. "She's seventeen, she's responsible… ish… and there's no way she can cause something as bad as an explosion in less than twenty minutes of being her-.
*BOOM!*
An explosion breaks him out of his thought.
"Please don't be Nora, please don't be Nora." He began to repeat to himself as he ran towards the explosion.
To his surprise when he arrived to where the explosion happened… Nora was nowhere to be found. Ren had a mind to actually dance for joy.
He actually almost did to, if he didn't see some little girl who was lying flat on the ground on her back. She had a look that just read, 'fuck my life…'.
Ren first looked around at his surroundings. No one was here. Maybe she forgot something, maybe she was bullied already? He didn't know but she was obviously upset.
He couldn't leave her like this.
She didn't notice him for the entire time that he was there, probably due to her self-pity. Her eyes widened as Ren offered a friendly hand up, as if this was the first spec of kindness someone has shown her in a while.
"I'm Ren." He introduced himself as she sat up.
She smiled and her silver eyes shined in the like. She took his hand and stood up as she introduced herself as well, "I'm Ruby." A few seconds past of awkward silence between the two until Ruby finally said something, "You like… green?"
After her… terrible attempt at a conversation the duo decided to make their way to their destination together.
"Do I like green?" Ren repeated almost teasingly with a smirk.
"H-hey!" She flailed her arms in embarrassment as her cheeks turned as red as her hood. "I-I'm just not that good at talking to people…" She turned to her side.
Ren chuckled at her embarrassment. "Sorry," He apologized, since he too had trouble when it came to that subject. "I'm not really much of a socialist either."
"I am plenty socialist…" She pouted.
"I think you meant 'I am plenty social'." Ren said with air quotes.
"Are you the grammar police now?" Ruby laughed.
"I just call them as I see them." He shrugged.
Okay… he just had to ask. This had to be discussed or else it's going to bug him for life.
"So Ruby?"
"Hmm?" She turned to face him with a smile.
"How old are you?"
She was a little taken back at first but only for a second. "I'm fifth teen." She giggled. "I supposed I obviously can't pass for seventeen right?"
"How are you here?"
"Long story." She replied. "I'll tell you later." Ren raised an eyebrow at her. "Relax, Ozpin himself gave me the chance to go her early."
"You must be very skilled." Ren smiled.
"Yeah," Ruby blushed at the complement. "Me and my baby."
Ren looked confused. "Baby?" He repeated.
Ruby laughed and tapped herself on her forehead. "Of right, I've never showed you." Before Ren could ask 'show me what?' Ruby had already taken out her special weapon Crescent Rose. Ren looked at it in amazement as she spun it around for a bit to show it off.
"Wow," Ren studied it. "It looks nice, not to mention it suits you."
"That's cause I designed her myself." She took a moment to hug her precious weapon. "With blood, sweat, and ketchup."
"You mean tears?"
"No," She shook her head. "I may have spilt ketchup on it… a lot."
Ren laughed.
"So what do you got?" She really wanted to take his attention off of… ketchup.
Ren pulled out his weapons StormFlower, a pair of fully automatic pistols with sickle-like blades attached vertically under the barrels.
"Wow!" Her eyes shined as she looked at them. "You…. Have two!" She squealed.
"I'm… aware." He scratched the side of his head.
"Sorry, sorry," She playfully fanned herself. "I just really like weapons."
Ren chuckled at her childishness. "I think you're going to do good here." He continued their path.
"Really?" Ruby was answered with a nod. "Thanks!" She was excited to say the least. She met a great guy who helped her when she was down and even thinks she's great! Sure he didn't say those excat words but he definitely meant it like that!
Ruby paused when she looked into Ren's face. More specifically his eyes. They were just a very attracting color. Magenta maybe? Either way she couldn't look away, she had to admit that he wasn't bad looking at all.
"Ruby?" Ren's voice breaks her out of her trance.
"Huh?! Who! What! Where?!"
"Ren, you stopped moving, and beacon." He listed.
"Oh!" Her face was flushed. "Yeah… I was uh…"
"Hey where are we going?" Ren asked.
"Huh?" Now she was just getting confused. "I was following you."
Uh oh…
The little red reaper was so happy to be laying down for bed. No it wasn't an actually bed, and as Her Sister Yang said, 'A big slumber party'.
She really needed some sleep after that argument with… Weiss queen… not her real full name but Ruby didn't care. Ruby's grip on her pillow tighten but slowly began to loosen up by the second until she let out a depress sigh.
"Something wrong Rubes?" Her sister asked as she laid next to her. "You look redder than usual." She joked.
Her sister sighed back at first but said, "I'm just… thinking."
Yang stuck her tongue out in a playful manner. "That's a first." She earned another from Ruby's pillow to which Yang laughed as she was attacked.
"C'mon Yang." Ruby had haft-lid eyes.
"Ok, I'm sorry." She hugged her sister. "So I'm guessing you weren't able to find a friend?"
A big smile plastered itself on Ruby's face. "I met this awesome guy named, Ren!" She tried her best not to yell to loud so she doesn't disturb the other students.
"Oh a boy?" Her sister winked.
Ruby blushed deeply. "Y-yeah he is… but it's not like that! H-he's cool bu-but!"
D'awwww~! Yang cooed in her head. My baby sister has a crush~! So who do I have to kill?
"He has a nice butt?"
"Yang!"
"I can't help it!" She laughed. When she managed to calm down herself from laughing she asked, "But really, is he cute?"
"He's… why not look for yourself." Ruby pointed to where the boys were.
Yang turned her head to see who she expected to be Ren. "He sure loves his green." She joked.
"I said the same thing." Both sisters shared a laugh together.
Although their laughing ended when Yang yelled, "Hey ponytail bo-mpffh!" A pair of hands from the petite reaper blocked Yang from finishing her sentence. For extra measures she covered the both of them with their sleeping bags to hind themselves from Ren and anyone else that may turn their heads towards them.
"You're really trying sis." Ruby growled.
"I know right." She laughed.
After a while Ruby felt like they would've stopped looking by now so she released herself and Yang from their sleeping bag prison.
"Uh oh." Yang said.
Ruby eyed her questionably then turned her head to see what has her distraught. Ruby wished that she hadn't for her heart almost broke at the sight. Ren was not talking to a girl… an attractive girl! With orange hair and even had the nerve to be shorter than her! Not to mention….
Ruby touched her chest in disappointment.
With a sad face ruby turned around from the sight and laid down on her bag wanting to forget what she saw.
Yang didn't want to see her sister sad about her first crush. "C'mon Ruby, she might not even be his girlfriend." She rubbed her sisters back.
"I can't ask… he might suspect that I… uh…"
"Then I'll do it." Yang announced as she abruptly stood up and made her way to the ninja with Ruby giving her as many signals as she could to NOT do that.
Ruby watched in horror as she saw her sister get into a conversation with them. They seemed to be having fun, Yang and the orange-haired girl at least, Ren looked haft interested.
After a while Yang came back and Ruby quickly tried to play it cool as if she was not watching the entire thing.
"They aren't dating." Yang simply said with a smile as she laid down.
"Phew." Ruby's heart felt like an anvil was lifted off of it. "Who is she?"
"Her name's Nora, and they're childhood friends."
Childhood Friends… Childhood friends… childhood friends…
Those words repeated themselves in Ruby's head.
"Rubes?" Yang cocked her head. "Ruby!" Yang gasped when her little sister fainted.
So land safely in the forest, find a partner, don't die, and remind Nora that sloths don't make many sounds. That was the mental list that Ren had made after hearing just how their test is supposed to go. His mind was honestly still wondering on the words that Yang had said to him last night.
Take care of Ruby… but not too much care
He looked over to try and spot Ruby, when he saw her he was… surprised. She was so cheerful yesterday but now she just seemed… a little out of it. Like she was nervous or something. She was sweating a little, taking a lot of deep breath, and was looking down at her feet.
He knew that she wasn't worried about the test because he already knew that she could take care of herself no problem.
He didn't have enough time to worry about that now since he was one of the first people to be launched.
"Remember Ren!" He heard his hyper active friend call to him right before she yelled an incomprehensible noise that he remembered from their earlier conversation.
He sighed as he face palmed. "That's not what a sloth sounds like."
