I have to say this once more that my updates can be very...strange. It depends on what was on my mind at the time plus if I could get the idea down in time. Also you know I have to be motivated. So yeah... Let's get more romantic in this! Yay romance! Yay my hopeless Romanticness! Sorry but I usually have romantic ideas on my mind during the day. Well that or depressing ideas. This shall also be a good way to introduce some of the couples in the Mansion!
Disclaimer: Same as last time. I only own my own OCs and half of some of them. The rest of the people are owned by Myst and whomever owns them.
-Easing one's conscious: Whiterose-
In one of the several living rooms there are two young ladies on a couch in front of a lit fireplace with the lights turned off. The first lady is a pale girl with snow white hair that is normally in an off-centered ponytail, but at the moment it's been let down letting the soft hair naturally drape down her back. She is wearing a pale sleeping gown that goes down to her knee that shows that she hasn't made any effort to do much since she woke up which is usually unheard of by a lady of her social standing. The woman's icy blue eyes stares contently into the fire with a much softer look then they normally have, but what truly draws the attention to her eyes is the somewhat faded scar that is on her left eye.
The other lady seems to be somewhat younger with short black hair that seems to have a slight red tint that gets brighter while going to the tips. She is wearing pajamas consisting of a black tank top with a cute pink heart with the look of adorable canine feature- including teeth on the bottom of the heart- on over her chest, and white sweat pants that has rose patterns scattered on it. Her storm grey eyes that are normally full of excitement and joy are dimmed down in a more calm happiness as she also gazes into the flames, but every once and a while she glances over at the girl who is leaning against her shoulder as she gently combs her fingers through the snowy white hair.
The two of them stay like that for several minutes as they enjoy the calm atmosphere before the younger girl finally speaks up in a gentle voice "Hey Weiss?" She whispers just loud enough for her girlfriend to hear her without disturbing the atmosphere, and the young heiress quietly hums while looking over at her love "Yes Ruby?" She gently replies as she returns her gaze into the dancing flames once more while her girlfriend seems to think about how she wants to say what she is thinking about before finally just asking in a gentle voice "What are you thinking about?"
The young heiress frowns slightly "...Nothing." She softly replies while making a point not to look into her love's eyes by refusing to tear her eyes away from the fireplace, and this isn't lost on the younger of the two. Carefully maneuvering herself so she can pull Weiss onto her lap and tilt her head so she has to look into her eyes "Please tell me what's wrong Weiss." With no other choice but to look into her worried partner's eyes the heiress looks into the depths of the grey eyes before glancing off to the side "...I'm worried what will happen when you realize how much of an icy person I really am. After all, I almost never a good person to be around. I constantly criticize you while giving you no credit towards any achievement you have done. Anything you do right I just manage to cut down and-" Her self deprecating rant is cut off by Ruby pulling her closer to herself while shushing her gently "I know you have Weiss, but that doesn't mean that is you."
This simple statement just makes the renowned 'Ice Queen' frown more "How can you say that I mean all that I ever seem to do is cut you down out of pure j-" This time the start of her rant is cut off by a finger to her lips "Weiss... You can be rather bossy... cold... mean at times... very distant... critical about everything... not to mention prioritizing results over everything else..." During the listing of her personality the Heiress continues to feel worse about herself while her doubts start to plague her mind in a much greater degree "But," Ruby says getting her love's attention once more as she starts again "I know that isn't you."
Weiss looks up at her with a confused look that is met with a smiling face as Ruby explains "You hide your real self behind a frigid mask that you built up under your father's care. Your real self is scared of trusting yourself with someone else only to get hurt again, but even though you feared the thought of being close to anyone again you still showed me your most vulnerable side." The huntress in-training pulls her love even closer against her body while continuing softly "You granted me the honor of seeing your adorable and caring side. The part of you that longs for the love and affection you were denied long ago while also wanting to give that same love and affection that you never could give without being punished." Her fingers gently traces her cherished girlfriend's scar with a slight frown before giving her a soft smile once more "Even while you are being cold and bossy you still are just trying to push us to be our best and that is your way of showing care to others. They just don't understand it."
Weiss listens to her love silently as she systematically gets rid of every doubt that was plaguing her mind even if it is temporary "Ruby... Thank you and... I love you." She says while leaning back into her girlfriend's embrace and feels the calming sensation of Ruby's heartbeat as she closes her eyes "I love you too Weiss. I always will." Ruby simply says back while starting to thread her fingers through the snow white hair of her love once more.
-Sparking a flame: Larxel-
An electric crackle fills the air as a bolt of lightning arches towards it's target while the searing heat of flames gets sent along with the jagged energy, and both of the elements sears/fries the dummy in the training room "Heh. Not bad Sparky." A tall man with spiky red hair remarks with a smirk as he twirls his twin chakrams -thinks about two circles with handles and the circles has blades kinda like a saw covering the outside of it- in his hands as a wave of heat surfaces of the metal of his weapons, and his bright emerald eyes looks at the absolutely destroyed target dummy casually. His attire is a skin tight black sleeveless shirt that that doesn't hide the fact he has a very skinny frame with leaner muscles rather than bulging body builder muscles and a simple pair of jeans along with a pair of red tennis shoes.
The blonde woman beside him looks over with an eyebrow being quirked over her bluish-green eyes along with a challenging smirk "Not bad? I did most of the damage pyro. All you did was singe the floor." She taunts while the two not slicked back antennae strand hairs on her head seems to defy all laws of gravity -much like many other styles of hair on many other people in general- moves along with her head. Her yellow and blue knife-like weapons known as the Foudres are charged up with electric power due to her last spell cast, and she casually uses that to her advantage by lightly scrapping them against her companion's skin not cutting into his skin while sending a light shock through his system. Using this as a way to fully get his attention she walks in front of him with her hips swaying just enough to be attention grabbing but not overly excessive, and with the tight fitting grey t-shirt along with the even tighter jeans show casing her feminine body and assists well she could feel his gaze scanning over her "But I suppose that would be hard for you to tell because of how much lightning leaves it's victims like the aftermath of a fire." She says while going over to replace the dummy not stopping her distracting sensual movement.
Taunting and flirting at the same time. This was a common thing between the two of them with a lot of the taunting coming from the pyromaniac and the flirting coming from the sensual nymph, but don't let that confuse you both of them are quite capable of doing both sides of the spectrum. To them it is a lot like a contest to see who would break first and give into either side, and it is time once again to play their game.
As the blonde finishes setting up the next target she feels his presence very close to her by the way the air around her heats up a few degrees before a pair of hands rest on her hips along with the hot whisper in her ear "Really? I will admit that lightning may be faster then the flames, but the real damage is from the incineration my fire brings." With their game now in full swing she presses her body back against him while resisting the urge to shiver from his whisper letting him feel how their bodies mold together in such a way that just seems right to them "Keep telling yourself that hotshot. you just don't want to admit that I'm right." Her simple retort has a subtle yet bold roll of her hips to press herself against him in a teasing manner that certainly didn't go unnoticed by the red head as he bites his lip to suppress a groan at her actions, and as a response his hands trace up and down the side of her body with a feather light touch teasing her as much as she is teasing him "No my dear sparkplug even if I didn't attack the flames still would have done more damage then your lightning."
Unable to resist the slightest shiver from his caress of her sides she frowns as she tilts her head to look up at him with a confused look while making her to wet her lips with her tongue slowly before answering with another roll of her hips "How can you prove that Axel?" Her voice tainted with a sultry tone makes it impossible for the flurry of dancing flames to hold back his groan before meeting her eyes while using his natural affinity for fire to heat up his hands causing a gasp to escape his darling Nymph's lips "Simple. Your spark will lead to my fire." he whispers into her ear once more sending shivers down her spine.
Axel smirks as he continues making the Savage Nymph putty in his hands. He certainly won this round, but as always she is quick to bring it back to an even tie later on.
-Metal and flesh: (Couldn't find a pairing Name)-
When nothing else to do- which happens quite often as of late- he tends to watch her work in the laboratory she had made to continue her research on her energy system to make it more efficient. Her long blonde hair is always flowing behind her in her ponytail that her pink and white helmet makes it stay in as she goes from one table to another or back to her computer to type in some data. Even after the end of Neo Arcadia and the death of Dr. Weil she stays in her usual outfit of a pink sleeveless dress, pink plated high heels and a black body suit underneath everything else. The only thing she has removed is the pink vest that was the uniform of the Resistance that she used to lead, but it still nearby hanged on the back of her chair. Her Cobalt blue eyes are focused completely on her work with a gentle but determined look on her face.
This young lady has always looked out for others before herself while aiming to create something that will fix the energy crisis that their world once had. This teen even went into the depths of enemy territory based on a rumor that she pinned all her hopes on before finding him beaten up and off line on his knees without arms with massive wires and plugs seemingly forced into his back. She sacrificed her closest companion just to repair him while waking him up in the process.
When her Cyber Elf broke through the barrier that kept him asleep and protected his dull faded armor returned to it's bright red shine (Though not as bulky as it once was apparently), his long blonde hair regained it's color and flowed behind him once more, and his eyes opened in the first time in over a hundred years revealing the look of someone who has fought countless battles and lived through them all. Even though his memories were gone in that one hundred year period his body remembered everything he needed to take up arms once more, and with the pleas of this young fragile savor being the first thing he heard the legendary Reploid snapped into action by taking up a blaster of one of her fallen allies and destroying every foe in his sight.
Later on after regaining his most familiar weapon and saving the unknown teen from a golem he learned of her name: Ciel. This young scientist turned out to be the leader of a resistance composed of Reploids that where falsely accused of being Mavericks, Reploids that turned against humanity, by Neo Arcadia. He also learned of his own name: Zero. He was thought to be a legendary Maverick Hunter that fought alongside Humanity's savior, X, in a time long ago and had the strength to take on armies by himself only to emerge victorious. With her Resistance falling prey to Arcadia's assaults she asked for his help to fight against their tyranny while she worked on her Ciel System.
The Ciel System was the hope that this teen was working on day and night in the hopes of finding a way to power humanity with the aid of Cyber Elves, sentient beings crafted of pure energy that are basically computer programs with the image of a small elf, and to accomplish this goal would hopefully put an end to the needless destruction of Repliods in order to keep Humanity afloat. With no memories and no idea of who he really is the crimson legend agreed to help the scientist. He went through many missions in order to strike back against Neo Arcadia and to save the lives of the innocent, and when it came time to face off against humanity's savior in order to stop the senseless carnage the very person who woke him up confessed her worst mistake. The X that was ruling Arcadia was simply... a fake. A copy that she created once she learned of X's disappearance in order to make sure things didn't go into anarchy and destroy everything left on the planet, but with her fake came the damning programming that insisting that Humans would be the first priority making every other thing unimportant. This simple guideline started the entire massacre of the Reploid people in order to keep humans in their comfy life style.
Despite the reveal of her greatest sin Zero wasn't fazed by it. No, instead he told her that he would right her wrong before going through the four Guardians that protected X: Sage Harpuia, Fairy Leviathan, Fighting Fefnir and Hidden Phantom. After the destruction of Hidden Phantom Zero confronted the Copy X who honestly believed that he was the original X due to his programming, and after some spoken words it is revealed that Copy X declares himself a true hero as well as a savior with a very arrogant attitude. Even though Zero couldn't remember his old friend he knew that the true X would never be like this and made it clear through his strikes. With the end of the Copy the Crimson Legend leaves to the dessert to travel alone while fighting against the still powerful Neo Arcadia all while Ciel believes that he would return to save them once more.
Zero smiles slightly as he pulls himself out of memory lane at the thought of that word: Believe. It truly is a powerful word to the two of them. After all if Ciel never did believe that he was in that underground area then he never would have been woken up, and the two of them never would have met. Even after working together for a long time her belief in him was one of the driving factors that let him accomplish the deeds that he has done. He even admitted it himself on top of the falling station Ragnorak to Dr. Weil when he thought he was going to fight to the death with man turned reploid. He fights for Ciel. Nothing else matters to him. Not justice, not what's right, not what he should do nor what he must do. Only Ciel matters to him. She is truly his everything, and frankly he wouldn't have it either way.
Three couples introduced! Weiss and Ruby from RWBY, Larxene and Axel from Kingdom Hearts, and Zero and Ciel from Megaman Zero. Honestly, other then our two OCs Zero and Ciel was the first couple that David and Aura brought together at the Mansion. It was even before the City was created, so these two have a very long standing relationship to the two of us. Also, I would like to point out the way that Axel and Larxene act is just how I envision them acting. Myst and I never had them doing something like that, so get your mind out of the gutter!
I also would like to admit that I'm not that good at romance writing so I decided to try three separate styles: The comforting Romance, The sensual Romance and the longstanding romance (Which turned into more of a flashback). Any who tell me which one you thought I did better with! Until next time see ya later!
