Otome

XXX

Host: Thank you, Yang, for that wonderful song! Now, for second song, let's give it up for Sun!

Sun: (stands up and high fives Yang) Yo, nice to have your hand back!

Yang: (grinning and punches Sun) Nice to be back in the game! Good luck, cuz you'll need it.

Sun: (stands behind the mic) Blake, come on! Let's go!

Blake: (stiffens and mutters) I don't wanna sing...

Yang: (gasp) Blake's on a duet with you?! (shoots daggers at Jeff Williams behind the booth, while Casey Williams give Blake a thumbs up)

Blake: (stands, walks to stage, and mutters) Who even wrote this song? (fake coughs and taps microphone)

Sun: (ques DJ Khaled at the back) Maestro~

~~music in~~

Audience Weiss: (practically screams) GO BLAKE, GO! WHOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Audience Winter: (looks at Weiss with utter disgust) Restrain yourself Weiss! Stop shouting like a savage.

Audience Weiss: I can't help it! I've never even been in one.

Audience Winter: You sing at concerts.

Audience Weiss: Exactly, and I don't enjoy doing it especially how dad controls them. Ugh. This is my first concert and no one can stop me from enjoying it.

Blake

~You don't know what it's like to live in shadows

Always regretting what you've done

Spending time counting every little mistake

Knowing it's always easier to run~

Sun

~You don't have to spend your life looking backward

We've been through this over and over again

You can't just wish it away

The past is the past, it'll never change

That was before and this is now and when

We have a chance to make it

Better if we try~

Blake (looks apologetically at Yang)

~Oh, but I will not endanger one more friend~

Audience Yang: Hey Ruby, do you think Blake would have sung with me if I asked her?

Audience Ruby: I dunno Yang, ask Blake. But this song is so good I'm adding it to my playlist later!

Audience Neptune: (pokes his head between the sisters) Yang, If you asked me...

Audience Yang: (waits earnestly)

Audience Neptune: (smiles like the playboy he is) I would have sung with you. (winks)

Audience Weiss: HEY.

Audience Yang: (laughs hysterically and slaps Neptune's back) Damn, didn't know you were a joker Nep.

Sun

~You're free to do the things you want

But listen, so am I~

Blake

~I've made my choice~

Sun

~And now I'm making mine~

Sun and Blake

~Go where you need to

Know I won't leave you

I'll follow you like morning follows night

You can run 'till your pain's through

One thing I won't do is to let you go

Alone to face the fight~

Audience Cardin: BORING. Why are we watching this faunus shit?

Audience Velvet: Then get out of here, because my ears are bleeding hearing your utter nonsense.

Audience Team cRDN: OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH! CARDIN IS DOWN. WE REPEAT, CARDIN IS DOWN! SASS LEVEL OF THE OPPONENT IS TOO HIGH.

Audience Cardin: WHICH SIDE ARE YOU PUNKS ON?! (ready to hit Velvet)

Audience Coco: (glares at Cardin and melts him with her sheer awesomeness)

Blake

~Hard to know where to turn when your life's a disaster

Trying to start all over again

So much shame, so much time that just feels wasted

Feeling like now could never make up for then~

Sun

~Life's not a game you can play to get even

We all make mistakes but we need to move on

I know that you hate where you strayed

Forgiving yourself is the only way

Just look ahead yesterday is gone

I know you think you're being selfless, but you're not~

Blake

~I refuse to risk another's pain again~

Sun

~The pain is when you shut me out and take off on your own

No matter what

You'll never walk alone~

~~instrumental~~

Blake: (pulls Sun's sleeves and whispers in a desperate tone) I can't rap!

Sun: (whispers loudly) WHAT?

Blake: Shush! It's gonna start soon. Cover for me.

Sun: Only now? Procrastination? Are you really Blake?!

Blake: You just said you'll always have my back!

Sun: That doesn't include singing! And you sang the chorus too so why are you pinning this on me?! (pouts)

Blake: (shoves lyrics into Sun's hands) You're great at this Sun. You can do it.

Sun: (lights up and smirks) Fine.

~~instrumental ends~~

Sun (raps like the Lamar Hall fan that he is)

See, you'll never understand

What I feel, what I see

What's going through my mind

How it feels being me

All these struggles, all these fights

Long days, longer nights

Trying to search for this happiness

Lost in the lights

But it seems that it's all

Just out of my sight

Just out of my reach,

Can't seem to get it right

Like I'm cursed with this turbulence

Placed in my life

Can't push or pull it,

Stuck up in this ball pit

Cycle of pain

All this stress in my brain

I'm just trying to maintain

You could go insane

But no matter what I do

The cries go unheard

Yet I still believe in you

Every breath, every word

Every smile, every glance

Could be another chance

That you'll finally see

The love that is me

So until that time

I'll follow every day

Every step of the way

And continue to say

([imaginary] mic drops)

Audience: DAMN SUN CAN RAP!

Audience Ruby: WHEN CAN I GET THE NEW ALBUM?!

Audience Jaune: OH SHIT, DAT RAP IS ON FIRE! Like you Phyrra. Cuz you were...- never mind.

Audience Phyrra's Ghost: (giggles at Jaune's below the belt pun)

Audience Nora: (angrily punches Jaune) Phyrra! Don't encourage it! Even in death you're still too nice! JAUNE, HAVE YOU NO HEART THAT YOU TEASE PHYRRA ABOUT HER DEATH?! But now she's back and... And... WAAAAH~ (throws herself at Ren's arms and miserably cries)

Audience Ren: (pats Nora's head) Actually, Phyrra only came to listen to the songs-

Audience Nora and Jaune: (slams their palms on Ren's mouth)

Audience Nora: Shush, Ren, shush.

Sun and Blake

~Go where you need to

Know I won't leave you

I'll follow you like morning follows night

You can run 'till your pain's through

One thing I won't do is to let you go

Alone to face the fight~

~~song ends~~

Audience Neptune: Well, this proves what I've been telling you guys! We can be a boyband! SSSN Boys!

Audience Scarlet: Not this talk again.

Audience Sage: Drop it Nep. We voted.

Audience Neptune: And tied. Come on! Check out those girls at the back dropping at the sight of Sun's abs. Won't you like that?

Audience Scarlet: We are famous as it is. Besides, it's going to be a bother if more girls flock around us.

Audience Neptune: What?! You hate girls?

Audience Scarlet: (-_-)

Audience Sage: Neptune. We can't. And Sun's pushing it too far already. Not to mention us having fans.

Audience Scarlet: With our line of work, that kind of attention will be a bother. There's a reason as to why we try to tone it down.

Audience Neptune: Tell me about it. Ugh, not even being allowed to use our semblances at the Vytall Tournament.

Audience Sage: Cheer up. At least you can use your good looks to get more reckon. Sun's doing a good job with his mission. Qrow would be proud.

Audience Scarlet: Look Neptune, we chose this. Even Qrow left his family and child-

Audience Ruby: UNCLE QROW HAS A CHILD?!

Audience Yang: I HAVE A COUSIN!

Audience Winter: (throws Qrow a disgusted look)

Audience Taiyang and Qrow: (facepalm)

Audience Oscar: (?)

Audience Oz inside Oscar: (is amused)


A/N: This is a full Otome chapter, tribute to the song Like Morning Follows Night. While reading, you have glimpsed the direction of this fanfic. Yay for more characters and developments! Team SSSN is going to get some work done.

Now, why did Sun sing the rap part? I see the whole rap as a whole paragraph. However I read it. It simply is one person's perspective. It talks about something that may very well be Blake's perspective. But there are some key phrases that suggests otherwise.

"Long days, longer nights."

Again with the parallelism. 'Days' are long. Blake doesn't attune with day. She attunes to night. Sun however, attunes to day. Could this mean that Sun actually has 'long nights' masked behind his sunny day?

"Lost in the lights."

Why use the word 'light'? If this were Blake, the phrase would work better for the parallelism if it was "Lost in the dark."

"I'm just trying to maintain, you could go insane."

Well, Blake's already broken down. She isn't maintaining. She ran away. But Sun is constant. Sun apparently hasn't changed. But what if he's just maintaining.

"The cries go unheard."

Again, Blake already broke down. And both Sun and her parents heeded her cries for help.

"Yet I still believe in you

Every breath, every word

Every smile, every glance

Could be another chance

That you'll finally see

The love that is me

So until that time

I'll follow every day

Every step of the way

And continue to say."

Definitely Sun.

The rap part is one whole thought. Sun will be having a brutal backstory. As I stated in the previous A/N, Sun has irrational (because no backstory is revealed yet) hatred to the White Fang in a world where most faunus are sympathizers. (and even Blake was in denial of the White Fang being terrorists during Season 1, Episode 16)

Go where you need to

Know I won't leave you

I'll follow you like morning follows night

You can run 'till your pain's through

One thing I won't do is to let you go

Alone to face the fight

Also, the fact that the chorus is sung in... well... in chorus means that Sun supporting Blake isn't a one way street.

Also. Team SSSN. You have glimpsed what I think is the true role of Team SSSN in RWBY.

Regular chapter next!

Stay tuned!
