Once Weiss had finished bringing her stuff into the apartment, she felt extremely tired, and decided to head to sleep. Her first day of work was tomorrow and she needed her rest. Winter and Willow were gonna head back tomorrow after grabbing a quick bite to eat in the morning. She felt comfortable where she was, feeling just a little bit relieved by being free of her parents home. Sure she would miss her family, but with what she was going through during the past few years while she was there, her time at that place was up, and she needed to move on.
Weiss looked around her room, most of her belongings were still packed up in boxes, her computer, the game systems that she needed to have with her in order to do what she does for a living, her clothes still kept in their suitcase while she figured out what it was that she wanted to do with her room. The only two things that were where Weiss wanted them to be, were the corner desk that she planned on using for her own personal content, and the bed that was in her room, small enough to not take up too much space, but large enough that she would be comfortable for her to sleep on.
As Weiss started to stir in the morning, she felt a sense of excitement shoot through her body. This was her first time away from home, her first chance to prove to her father that what she wants to do is her choice, and that she could make a living off of it. As it was, her father most likely wouldn't listen to her, even if she did make it where she was at now.
Rather than dwell on the thought of her father's opinion on her choice of lifestyle, Weiss instead reached into her suitcase to gather the clothes she was going to wear that day. She was fortunate that she didn't have to start work until 9 that day. It gave her the chance to catch one last meal with her siblings before she started off on her own. Deciding that now would be a good time to get that meal together, Weiss walked out of her room and into the living room.
Weiss saw just the way that here sisters were sleeping. Winter had slept on the couch that Weiss had brought, Willow sleeping on an armchair that Weiss could only assume was brought in by Yang. Walking over to each of her siblings and shaking them gently, Weiss watched as life fluttered into each of them, the last remnants of sleep leaving them. It was surreal to Weiss, knowing that this would be the last time she would see her sisters in a long time.
"Hey, it's time to wake up," Weiss said softly.
"What time is it?" Winter asked.
"Six in the morning," Weiss replied. "It's enough time for you, me, and Willow to each get a shower before we go to breakfast." Weiss started to make her way over to the shower room, giving Winter and Willow a chance to wake up a little bit more for a few minutes.
Letting the water run down her body, Weiss felt her mind start to truly wake up. She began to think of what she needed to do in order to have a successful first day, get a filling breakfast with her sisters, make sure she had enough time to find the office, and overall, just enjoy her day as best she can. Taking a somewhat quick shower, Weiss made sure that she looked presentable. After she jumped out of the shower, she started to throw her clothes on. She was grateful that she was at least somewhat covered up when her sister walked into the bathroom to take her shower. Unfortunately, she was only wearing a pair of jeans and a bra when her sister came in.
"Winter, you do realize that I was still in here right?" Weiss asked. "Get out."
"I'm aware of that," Winter responded unconcerned at the idea of privacy with her sister. "We've gotten changed in front of each other before, so it's not like I haven't seen you wearing pretty much nothing before." As she was saying this, Winter was taking off her own clothes so that she could jump into the shower. Weiss wasn't happy about the fact that she could see her sister stripping in the mirror, but as Winter had said, they had seen each other like that before, all of them had. One of the kinks of having close relations with your sisters meant that you saw them for everything they were.
"You know, you could at least face away from me so that I don't see your chest, right?" Weiss asked. "I honestly don't want to have my younger sisters chest on my mind during my first day at work. Besides, the last time we saw each other like that, we were about 10 years old and stupid, now get out!"
"Sheesh, what crawled up your butt?"
"Forgive me if I'm a little upset over the fact that this is gonna be the last time I'll be seeing you or Willow in a long while," Weiss reacted. As soon as she said that, Winter stopped what she was doing and saw the saddened expression on her face. Winter pulled her shirt back on and gave her sister a one armed hug.
"You know, it's not like we'll be gone from each other's lives forever," Winter said. "I'm sure that Willow and I will be seeing you every now and then, so you can't get rid of us that easily."
Chuckling at Winter's reaction to what she felt, Weiss felt slightly better about what was happening. "Thanks, now you go get your shower, I still gotta make myself look presentable," Weiss said.
"Alright, and I'll even face away from you, since you're kinda being extra weird today," Winter said.
"How is me not wanting to look at my sisters chest making me weird?" Weiss asked.
"I'm just fucking with you, relax," Winter teased as she hopped into the shower.
After taking a few moments to finish cleaning herself up, Weiss noticed that Willow had stepped into the bathroom. "Winter in the shower?"
"Yep."
"Hey, Winter, hurry up!" Willow shouted. "I still need to use it too and I would actually like some warm water."
"Calm down sis, you'll get your warm shower," Winter said, pulling back the shower curtain. Standing there in her stark nakedness with water glistening against her porcelain-like body, it made Weiss freak out.
"Oh god, Winter," Weiss said, not loud enough to wake up her roommate. "Close the shower curtain or throw a towel on already. I really don't need to see you fully nude." Weiss knew exactly what it was that Winter was going to say, so she beat her to the punch. "And before you say anything, yes I know that I've already seen you naked, and you've seen me naked. Doesn't mean I want to see that on a consistent basis. And Willow, can you get out too? I'm not finished in here and it's my apartment!"
"Fine," Winer said as she climbed out of the tub. "Throw me a towel, alright?"
Willow did so and then got out of her clothes while Winter dried herself off. Weiss wondered why she didn't just walk out of the bathroom right at that moment. In answer to her question, she decided to do just that, and she opened up the door subtly before leaving the bathroom. For some reason, she saw that her roommate was still asleep, though she didn't see why she would complain about that. For all she knew she had a job that started much later in the day, Weiss wasn't going to judge.
It didn't take much longer for Winter and Willow to come out of the shower fully ready to leave. As the two of them came out, they made sure that everything they brought with them was packed up. Once they had finished, Weiss and her sisters walked out of the apartment and down towards their cars. Winter and Willow were riding in their own car, while Weiss took hers. They agreed that Weiss would head out to work as soon as their breakfast was finished, but for right now, they would enjoy one last meal together.
After Weiss had caught breakfast with her sisters, as well as share a very heartfelt goodbye, Weiss turned her focus into work. Having just pulled up into the parking lot where she was to meet with her new employment, she was glad that there wasn't too much of a hassle when she tried to get into building. As she came in, there were some people who recognized her from times she was there previously, and it wasn't long before she found herself in the room Danger Close uses to record all of their stuff.
As soon as she walked in, she saw some of the people she would be working with.
"Ah, Weiss, glad you could make it here," Her new boss, Pyrrha Nikos said. "You get to the office alright?"
"Yeah, was relatively simple," Weiss replied.
"Good, you remember the rest of the crew, Neptune, Jaune, Sun, I would say some of the others are here, but alas, not everyone could be here today," Pyrrha mentioned. "I know Yatsuhashi, Coco, and Velvet are helping out with other projects for the company, but I'm sure you'll see them every now and then."
"Great to see you again Weiss," Sun mentioned. "Hope we don't drive you too insane."
"I'm sure I'll be fine," Weiss responded. Turning back to Pyrrha, she wanted to know what they were getting into. "So, what're we doing first?"
"Well, you hear that Minecraft just came out on the 360," Pyrrha asked. When Weiss nodded, Pyrrha took that as a sign to continue. "Well, we're gonna be doing a let's play in that to start things off. After that, you and I are going to make some achievement guides for Minecraft. Sound good to you?"
"That sounds perfectly fine by me," Weiss replied.
"Great, unfortunately we don't' have a system for you, so you'll have to share a system and mic with Jaune until we get everything we need for you," Pyrrha mentioned.
"That's fine, hopefully everything we will need comes soon," Weiss agreed.
"Oh come on," Jaune complained, having to share his screen with someone else. "Split screen never goes well, so why do we have to use it?"
"Because it's what we got, now stop complaining and get your system on," Pyrrha retorted.
After a few moments of setup, Weiss found herself sitting in between Sun and Jaune, getting ready to start her first video with the company.
'Well, that was a video,' Weiss thought to herself as everyone stopped their capture and began to stand up.
"I can't believe you decided to burn our house down you son of a bitch!" Sun cursed at Jaune over his actions in the video.
"What are you looking at me for? Weiss was the one who stole the walls of my house!" Jaune said, trying to push the blame off of himself.
Turning her head to look at Jaune, Weiss wasn't sure what surprised her more. The serious nature of his tone, or the audacity that he had actually said what he did. "You call that a house?" Weiss said. "You were at the front end of a cave, not living inside of a home! It was free game!"
"Yeah, well you're a tossy little ginge pop," Jaune retorted.
Everyone seemed to laugh at what Jaune said, causing Weiss to wonder what they were laughing at.
"Tossy little ginge pop?" Pyrrha asked in her fit of laughter. "Is that really the best you could come up with?" After hearing what Pyrrha had said, Weiss suddenly felt infinitely better about the subject of their laughter. "Oh my god why do I date stupid?"
"Oh Pyrrha!"
"Shots fired," Weiss interjected. "Shots fired!" This caused an even bigger laughing fit with the group. By the time everyone had calmed down, they all realized that they needed to get back to work.
Weiss was glad that she was able to have fun at work, her last few jobs weren't that great and so she would rather be doing this any day. As she walked out of the office, chatting with Sun on her way out, she already felt like she was fitting in with the rest of the guys and girls at Danger Close. She didn't get to meet everyone yet though, but she decided that she would take some time tomorrow to introduce herself to them for when they get back into the office.
As she pulled into the parking lot of her apartment, she felt relief fill her up at the success of her first day. She opened the door and noticed that the apartment was empty, not a single soul in sight. 'Yang must be out at work, or at least on her way back,' Weiss thought to herself. She walked into her room and figured now would be as good a time as any to unpack her computer and everything else she had and get it all set up. Her computer was pretty expensive, but most of the things she had were paid for by money she had earned from previous jobs.
It wasn't until much later that Yang finally came back into the apartment, looking like a bit of a mess. "Yo, what's up Weiss?" Yang called out after realizing that Weiss was in. Seeing Weiss appear from her bedroom, Yang walked over to the kitchen and started to heat up the stove.
"Isn't it a little late to be making food?" Weiss asked when she saw Yang pop into the kitchen. "And you just got in as well."
Yang laughed as she walked away from the newly started stove, taking off her jacket and hanging it up on a coat rack that she had brought with her. "Well, let's just say I don't get too much of a chance to eat a decent meal where I eat," Yang replied. "We got unnaturally busy and so I had to spend all of my time working, so I figured I'd just make something when I got back in." As she spoke she walked into her room and changed out of her uniform, into a tank top and shorts.
"Where do you even work that would call for such a busy night?" Weiss asked as she walked into the kitchen with Yang, who went to grab different ingredients for a meal.
"I work as head chef at a restaurant in Austin," Yang replied. Weiss wondered what Yang was wearing when she saw the white jacket that Yang wore, but figured that it was nothing important. "Plus, I don't mind when it's busy, just makes the day go by faster, and gives me the chance to show people my awesome cooking!" As Yang started to throw things together in a mixing bowl, she turned to Weiss. "How about you, where do you work?"
Weiss leaned against the counter, wondering how exactly to explain things to Yang. "I work in the, entertainment industry."
Yang stopped stirring and started to giggle just a bit. "Isn't it a little early for you to be getting home from work then?"
It took a second for Weiss to realize what Yang had meant by that, and when she did, her face went red as a tomato. "You sick pervert, I'm not a hooker!" She yelled emphatically. "I work in video production, so get that disgusting mind of yours out of the gutter!"
"Oh, so you do that kind of work huh?" Yang continued to tease, waggling her eyebrows like crazy.
"No, I'm not a pornstar!"
"Who said I was thinking about that?" Yang asked innocently. "I never said anything like that at all."
Weiss face went even redder than before, knowing that it was she who took things further than they needed to go. "Never mind, it's like talking to a boulder with you."
"Relax, I never meant to insult you," Yang threw her hands up in the air defensively. "Actually I already know what you do."
"How did you know that?" Weiss asked.
"My sister is a fan of yours," Yang admitted. "Found that out when I saw her watching a video of yours and I recognized you in the video. I told her to take it easy with speaking to you yesterday about your content because you would probably be tired from getting your stuff in. Turns out I was right, but oh well."
"Thanks for that, I guess," Weiss conceded. "But why go through all that teasing then?"
"You left yourself wide open for it," Yang retorted.
Much to Weiss' dismay, she couldn't argue against what Yang had said. "True, anyway, I'm still working on unpacking my stuff, so I'll get back to it."
"Have fun," Yang said as Weiss started to walk back to her room. "And I'll make some extra food for you as well!"
Once Weiss walked back into her room, she immediately started to go through everything and place things exactly where they needed to go.
AN: Before I get started, I figure I would mention who is playing who in this story's version of Achievement Hunter. Geoff is played by Pyrrha, Jack is played by Neptune, Michael is played by Sun, Gavin is played by Jaune, Ray is played by Weiss, Ryan is played by Coco, Kerry is played by Yatsuhashi, Lindsay is played by Velvet, Caleb is played by Cardin (fuckin screen peaking bastard), Kdin is played by Russel, and when they eventually arrive, Matt is played by Sky, and Jeremy is played by Dove.
Secondly, shoutout to SkireTehFox for creating an absolute explosion for this fic. You are incredible and thank you for helping this story get bigger than I thought it would.
Now, the reason I don't have Ruby, Blake, or Yang as part of AH is because this is more or less what happens outside of Weiss' life with the company, meaning that there has to be things for them all to do. So, Yang works as a chef, Ruby works as a mechanic, and Blake, when she comes up, works as a teacher. Hope you guys enjoy this, because I feel like it would be a great idea to do.
Also, if anyone wants to put art up for this (I'm positive there are quite a few of you who are already interested) then I would ask that if they are going on tumblr that they be tagged under Youtube AU so that I can see what you have done. If I even get any, then I would call that an instant win in my life, so feel free to draw this stuff if you would like to.
I want to do a story where it's just the different videos that AH does, however writing out what they say is extremely time consuming (if I were to do the whole thing) and I don't know whether you wanted me to do the whole videos, or just highlights from portions of the videos. I would also be doing different shenanigans that would be happening behind the scenes as well. So let me know what you think would work best.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this story. Please leave a review of what you thought of it and if it could be improved, and thanks for reading!
