Grey sat down went through his scroll as he hacked into Vale's camera network and found his team-mates laughing and eating ice cream at a parlor. Grey could only smile and shake his head as he watched team enjoy themselves

Like I said Ruby, I'm always there and looking out for you.

Grey cut of the camera feed and pin-pointed the location Ruby's scroll in order to find her. He saw the location was near the Vale Docks so when he landed that was first place Grey landed.


Weiss walked with Team RWBY as they decided to head to a clothing store to buy Grey some new clothing. He always wore that trench-coat, t-shirt and his jeans, nothing more.

While walking Weiss couldn't help but think about her and Grey. Sure she slapped and scolded him for being reckless and scaring all of them to near-death.

But then she kissed him. Twice. Sure one was for saving her from the nevermore so Weiss denied it meant anything other than thank you.

But the first kiss was out of no where. She slapped him and kissed right afterwards. Then there was the fact that he was a Faunus. That's where Weiss felt unsure.

Grey was a Faunus. He had wolf ears but he was still human. Weiss didn't know how to feel about that fact. Sure she told him she was okay with him being one but that was a partial lie.

The White Fang caused this insecurity and hate of Faunus into Weiss. Grey did say he had another secret for a later date but what was it ? Weiss feared that it was he was a member of The White Fang and had attacked her family's business in the past. Weiss prayed it wasn't true so she pushed the thought out of her mind only for another one to take it's place.

She had kissed a Faunus. This was NOT how a Schnee female should act over a person but Weiss couldn't help but consider it. What did his ears feel like ? Why did he hide his ?

So many questions and so little answers.

Weiss shook her head to clear her thoughts. Ruby noticed Weiss seemed confused so she spoke.

" Weiss are you ok ? You look upset and confused. Is something bothering you ?" Ruby asked, with concern etched in her voice.

Weiss looked at her and asked her one question on her mind.

" Ruby are you a faunus ?"

Everyone stopped in their tracks.

Ruby turned to Weiss and smiled.

" Nope. No ears, tail, horns, or wings." Ruby said while patting herself down and laughing causing everyone else to laugh.

With that thought Team RWBY made their way to a clothing store and prepared to surprise Grey with new clothes to wear.


Grey turned a corner while following signal and saw his sister and Teammates as they exited what appeared like a clothing store with bags in Ruby, Weiss and Yang's hands. Grey called out to them and they walked over and greeted him.

" So what's in the bags ?" Grey asked thinking he knew answer.

" It's a new trench-coat, some extra clothes, and some school uniforms ." Ruby said while holding up a two bags

Grey was surprised at the gesture. Then he saw Yang holding about four bags and Weiss holding a bag .

He looked and Ruby and then to the rest of the bags and then back to Ruby.

" All of them ?' Grey asked sounding confused

" No silly, just these two" Ruby said while pulling a trench-coat from a bag.

Grey thanked Lord Oum internally for that and then took the coat which Ruby was handing him. Grey open the coat and inspected it.

The trench-coat was a mid-night black color and had a small armor plates on the left shoulder. What stood out to Grey was that on the right shoulder and left side of the trench was a what at first looked like a weird logo. It wasn't, it was the Rose symbol that Ruby had.

It was their Family Crest.

Grey was left speechless at the sight. Ruby had the family crest stitched on his coat like she had on her belt. All Grey could do was give the coat back to Ruby who frowned at the gesture. At least before Grey took of his current coat and dropped it causing Weiss and Blake to turn away and blush.

Grey took back the coat the Ruby gave him and put it on. It was a smooth fit. They managed to guess his actual size and got him a coat to match. Then Grey noticed Ruby holding fingerless gloves for him so he took those to. They fit perfectly but then Grey noticed the wording on the small lettering on the back of the gloves.

On the left it simply had the word " You'

The right one had the word " Promised.

You Promised...

Then realization hit

I Promised to always to be there. Grey smiled and Ruby noticed he understood the meaning and hugged him tightly.

Grey returned the embrace much to Ruby's happiness. With that the group enjoyed their outing for many more hours and headed back to the airships at 8:00, yet no one noticed the owner of the scarlet red eyes following and watching them.


Team RWBY plus Grey returned to Beacon later that night and said their goodnight's to each other and retired to their dorms. Grey put his new clothes in one of the closets and prepared to change and head to sleep but then he heard a knock at the door.

I get the feeling something bad is about to happen.

Grey opened the door only to be greeted by a girl standing in front of him.


The girl was wearing what appeared to be in short Ren's outfit in red and black and in a tighter fit to show off her... assets.

The mystery girl had beautiful red hair that was long that reached to her back and unmaintained but in a beautiful way. She had dark red eyes that cold appear like they were staring into your soul. She had a red and gray ribbon in her hair and she appeared to be wearing red diamond ear rings. What stood out the most what her black cat ears and her... she was wearing a zelda tri-force of courage necklace. She also had a bandage across the bridge of her nose and a scar on her left cheek.

Grey stood their looking at her until she spoke.

" Hi I'm Rouge. So can I come in our dorm ? Oh and Ozpin told me to give you this note." She said while handing Grey a note which he curiously took and read.

He wasn't pleased with it's content which read-

Dear Grey, As of today you will now become leader of your own team. Which I have dubbed Team GRAY. This young women is your first new team-mate. She will be staying with you until your other members arrive during which you will be moved to a bigger dorm. I know you wished to work with Team RWBY but this is for your own benefit. Both me and Qrow believe you are more than capable of this. Also please refrain from hacking the Vale camera network as it is quite tedious to ensure you yourself are not traced.

Sincerely Headmaster Ozpin

Grey could only look at that with a blank expression before crumbling it and letting Rouge in.


Why the hell would uncle Qrow suggest that ? He knows I work alone and how the hell did he know I hacked the Vale network ! I always mask my signal ! Wait a second...

Grey looked at Rouge who was busy unpacking and then around the dorm

2 beds, 2 closets... That bastard. He planned this from the beginning... How did I not realize this, WHO THE HELL NEEDS TO BEDS, closets are justifiable but 2 beds should have gave it away. I'M A FUCKING MORON. Wait calm down maybe...no there's no explanation needed. The answer is right here.

Grey continued to analyze the situation to himself until Rouge snapped her fingers in an attempt to bring him back to his senses. Grey looked at her and saw she was wearing a devious smile as she shook a white bottle of alcohol which read " Southern Rouge".

" So wanna get wasted wolfy ?" she said with a smile as Grey's wolf ears twitched slightly.

Oh dear Lord Oum don't let this happen

Rouge popped the cork with a knife she had under her sleeve and took a swig. She stopped and offered Grey the bottle. Grey simply shook his head in disappointment and turned away from her to go to the bathroom.

VERY bad idea.

Grey suddenly felt his feet give way from beneath him and felt as he was dragged across the floor when he suddenly felt Rouge sitting on his stomach and forcing the bottle in his face with a devious smile on her face.

" Come on loosen up a little and live life... What your name anyway ?"

Nice one Ozpin. Give me the drinker and you don't tell her her leaders name. Lovely.

" Grey," his response was straight to the point.

" Well Grey how about we get to know each other over a drink. Come on Wolfy you know you wanna" she said that smile still etched on her face.

" I don't dr-"

Grey didn't even finish before he felt his hands bound forced to the ground and Rouge forcing the drink into his system.

Grey could have easily ended this but he could feel his limbs were being chained down to the ground by an invisible force.

During this Rouge was still forcing him to drink the alcohol from the bottle before taking it away and finishing it off. All this while still sitting on his stomach. By then Grey felt woozy and disoriented.

Rouge had a blush on her face while getting of Grey and loosening her invisible hold on him, that smile still there. Grey took this as a chance to sit up right while Rouge sat next to him and put her head on his shoulder.

" So *hic* where you from ?" the drunk Rouge slurred.

" Vale *hic* " Grey managed still disorientated from that drink.

" Have any family *HIC* "

" Younger sister *hic* and *hic* uncle" Grey responded, that drink having more of an effect than possible.

At that point Grey felt scratch his wolf ears. NO ONE but Qrow has ever done that.

Grey got shakily but felt his legs collapse as he landed on his back. He felt dizzy, tired and dead drunk so he did what came naturally.

He passed out.


Rouge, still drunk, crawled over to the collapsed Grey and crawled onto his chest. She felt his chest through his coat and shirt and blushed even more.

I don't if it's me or the drink but he is kinda cute.

Rouge decided to see if he was awake and poked his cheek.

He didn't stur.

" Hey" she said followed by another poke.

No response.

" Hey *hic* Wolfy you there ? Hey * hic*" she said, the alcohol starting to take more effect as she poked his face.

No response.

She looked at him with hazy drunk eyes as her vision became more blurry. Then she passed.

Laying directly on Grey


Team RWBY were waiting impatiently outside Grey's dorm and were waiting on him to answer but after 30 minutes they began to worry.

" What if he's hurt ?" Weiss asked with concern etched in her voice

Ruby was nervously shuffling and trying to think of a reason as to why her brother wasn't answering the door.

Maybe he's tired from last night ? Or- or maybe he trained late after we left. Yeah that's it.

Wrong

At that moment whatever thoughts that were going through Blake`s head it was justifiable enough to cut the lock to the dorm and push the door open.

Bad Move.


Grey woke up and felt a pounding sensation in his that kept him from focusing.

What happened ?

He tried to get up only to feel a weight on his chest and downwards. Grey looked down only to see Rouge unconscious and laying on top of his chest.

What the hell ?

Grey was trying to comprehend what was happening when he saw his door open only to reveal several different reactions.

Three faces had looks of hurt while the last one was look of shock. Then Rouge began to stur.

" Grey *moan* what did we do last night ?" Rouge asked weakly

All of Team RWBY's eyes widened in shock.

" Fuck my life" is all Grey could say.
