Chapter 1: That Girl

Today will be my first day at Beacon, and I couldn't believe that I finally made it here. I knew that I wouldn't have been turned down because I wasn't physically able to pass the tests, I just didn't think that they would believe my history. My name is Aaron Smith and I am what they call a Faunus, basically we are humans that have attributes of animals, however I'm different I have both the ears and tail of a wolf. I sat by myself in the air ship that was carrying me and the other students to Beacon and I looked around at all the other people. There was a girl with black hair and a red hood standing next to a girl with long golden hair, she looked like that one fairy tail the one about that girl and the three Ursa. There was also a boy with armor already on and short yellow hair, he looked like he was about to throw up. The trip seamed to take forever, but finally I felt the ship landing and I could see my new home.

As I stepped off the ship I took a big breath in and I was surprised about how clean the air is. I was always told that the air in the cities smelled like pollution and felt unclean. I grew up in a small village inside the forest area inside of Vale. There we often had to sleep outside because of the hunting and you could see all of the stars at night. Although my parents are not around anymore I was raised by a loving man and wife in the village, they were the ones who pushed me to come here and leave my village. I walk across the courtyard towards the grand hall for the welcoming ceremony, when I hear this loud boom sound from around the corner. I went to go see what happened and that's when I saw her standing there.

She had black hair and she had a little black bow that sat on top of her head. She was standing next to the girl in the red hood that I saw earlier on the ship. The girl with the black bow looked captivating, but there was something off about her. As she started to walk away from the girl with the red hood I rushed to go introduce myself to her. My master always told me to never hesitate, even outside of a battlefield.

"Hey wait!" I said. She stopped and looked at me. "I saw you help that girl over there, which was really nice of you."

"Thanks, I think. If you don't mind me asking, just who are you." She asked looking at me puzzled.

"Oh I'm sorry, my name is Aaron. What's yours?" I said holding out my hand.

She looks at my hand and the looks at me "Blake." She said.

I put my hand into my pocket and tried to keep the conversation moving." There is something about you Blake, I just can't put my figure on it." As I ponder on what it could be, something smelt weird in the air and it suddenly came to me." You're a Faunus!" I yell out.

She puts her hand over my mouth and shushes me. "Quit you I don't want anyone to know that." She said.

"Okay jeez, I understand why you don't. I promise I won't tell anyone, I know that not everyone is really accepting of Faunus yet. However it's good to know that I'm not the only one here.' I said pulling her hand from my mouth. My eyes lock with hers, her yellow eyes reminding me of the sun during a warm spring day. "You have really pretty eyes." I said.

Her face turns bright red and she turns to walk away. "I have to go" she said fleeing in the other direction. I tried to call her back to apologize but she moved to fast, I think I made her uncomfortable. Before I knew it, I was late for the ceremony. I rushed towards the auditorium hoping that they haven't started yet.

After the ceremony they had use all stay the night in the grand hall. Everyone was spread out in sleeping bags, and everyone was all in separate sleeping bags. I felt really weird because whenever I went camping with the other hunting Faunus in my village, we would just gathered leaves into a pile and all cuddle up together. I'm pretty sure that most of the people here wouldn't even think about cuddling with me or anyone else , it's hard for me to really get to sleep without at least someone else next to me. While looking around the room I see Blake sitting on the opposite side of the room trying to read a book by moonlight. I walk over to her so I could apologize for earlier.

"Hey Blake, I would like to apologize if I made you uncomfortable earlier today." I said.

She looks up from her book and stares at me. "Why must you keep trying to talk to me?" She asked.

"I find you interesting, I think you're really pretty and I want to know more about you." I said.

She blushes a little and closes her book. She huffs and then says" Listen I appreciate the complements, its bin a really long time someone has said something like that to me. I think your interesting too, I've never met a Faunus that doesn't really care about what people think about them." She said. I sit down next to her and we talked for what feels like hours.

"Hey listen, I know this may sound really weird but would you be willing to cuddle up with me. I've gotten so use to sleeping in a big pile, back when I had to go hunting, I slept in a wolfs den and me and the other wolves would sleep in a pile all huddled together," I asked her.

She hesitated, and then she spoke. "Okay but don't get use to this, you know that you won't be able to depending on who you have on your team." She said curling up into her bag.

I curl up next to her and jock around by saying. "Well then, looks like I'll just have to hope that you're on my team." I start to fall asleep when I feel her nuzzle up against my chest, not long after that I fell into a hard sleep.
