Neptune despised the idea of waiting outside team RWBY's dorm just so he and Sun could find out what they were up to. Despite all of Sun's claims that the girls were planning something and that hanging outside their window was in no way stalker-ish, Neptune still had doubts. But they had one major problem. Sure, Sun could climb trees and hang from them with ease, but Neptune was no faunus. He couldn't perch perfectly in a tree like an animal, he'd fall.
"Sun," Neptune said, voice shaking, "If you think I'm going to stand on that tiny ledge on the fourth floor, you're a psychopath."
"Dude, you'll be fine. It's far enough up that your death will be too quick to be painful if you do fall."
Neptune's mouth opened in incredulity. "Thanks a lot!"
"No problem," grinned Sun.
Sun quickly scampered to the lower branches of the tree and jumped to the ledge just under the second floor. He reached down to pull Neptune up to the sill. Even just a few feet off the ground, Neptune trembled. He absolutely hated heights. They did this a couple more times until Neptune was successfully on the ledge of the fourth floor. Sun jumped back over to the tree and hung from his tail in the top branches. Neptune could barely make out a few words of Sun's from his spot on the step. When Sun disappeared into the girls' room, Neptune heard nothing. He waiting in fear. Luckily, the girls poked their heads out after a few seconds.
"How did you even get up here?" Ruby asked.
Not wanting to seem weak by telling the girls that Sun had to pull him up, Neptune only replied, "I have my ways." His fear came through, however, as he shortly said, "Seriously, though, can I come in? We're like… really high up right now." They allowed him to, and he slowly shuffled along the ledge until he could climb in through the window. Sun was teamed up with Blake (which Neptune knew would make him happy), and Ruby gradually pushed Neptune towards Yang. They passed Weiss, who smiled at him. Neptune gave her a sly wink.
"Neptune," Ruby said, "You can go with Yang, since she doesn't have a partner." As he was placed next to Yang, Neptune was absolutely positive that she was trying to kill him. She looked like a million bucks, and her shirt today was even more low-cut than before. Neptune could barely look at her for fear that it would seem like he was checking her out. Not that she wasn't totally worth checking out, but he didn't want to seem like a weirdo.
"Actually," Weiss intercepted, "Ruby, why don't you go with Yang? After all, she is your sister." Neptune was very upset with this development. Sure, Weiss was nice enough. She just wasn't his type.
"But, Weiss, who would go with you?"
"Well, I guess Neptune could come with me."
Ruby snorted and laughed. "Nah," she said, dragging the Ice Queen away. For a second, Neptune was incredibly thankful of Ruby's dedication to her partner. But then Yang turned to him, grinned, and said "Well then. We've got work to do."
