When Your World Falls Apart Chapter 4: CFVY, a rwby fanfic

A month had past since Team CFVY'S mission and Coco hadn't woken up from her coma. The only change that had occurred was that Coco had been taken off life support as she had started breathing on her own

With his earlier morning and late nights over, Yatsuhashi had finally been able to slow down enough to look after himself and catch up on sleep. He would still visit Coco and Velvet everyday after classes but no longer needed to bring food as she had become more self sufficient over time.

Velvet still hadn't returned to Beacon but thanks to Ozpin's help, had been able to complete her studies through the information her teachers had sent to her scroll from lessons. When she wasn't working on school work, Velvet had begun reading fashion magazines and telling Coco about the different fashions and how terrible Coco would have thought some were.

Having just finished going through that weeks magazine, Velvet placed it down on the side table and held Cocos hand in her own.

"I still miss you Coco. I miss hearing your voice, I miss hearing you laugh, I even miss your comments on my outfits and you trying to embarrass me because you think I look cute. Please wake up Coco." Velvet begged, tears starting to slide down her face the more she spoke.

Sadly the only other noise in the room was the beeping of Coco's heart monitor. Velvet stood up and walked into the bathroom attached to Coco room

While splashing water onto her face, Velvet thought she heard a noise come from the other room. Quickly turning the water off, Velvet listened carefully before she heard what sounded like a groan and raced back into Coco's room.

In the bed Coco had slowly started moving her head side to side and her eyes cracked open slightly, much the the shock and happiness of Velvet who pinched her arm to make sure she wasn't dreaming.

Feeling the slight pain of the pinch, Velvet ran over to the bed just as Coco fully opened her eyes and wrapped her arms around Coco's head and started sobbing inth her hair.

"Hey Bun Bun." Coco croaked

"You're ok." Velvet said, muffled by Coco's hair as her tears started to dry up.

After a few more minutes of Velvet refusing to let go of Coco in fear of this all being a dream, Velvet stood and started making her way out towards the nurses station to inform them of Coco's condition.

Fifteen minutes had passed while the Doctors and Nurses checked over Cocos condition while Velvet stood outside the her girlfriend had been stuck in for the past month.

Finally one of the doctors came out of the hospital room and walked over to Velvet.

"Miss Scarlatina I assume?" The Doctor spoke staring down at the shorter girl in front of him.

Velvet just nodded as a response, scared of the news the Doctor had for her.

"Miss Adel's condition is better than we had originally feared and she should make a full recovery eventually." The Doctor said as Velvets eyes lit up with joy and happiness. "However the damage to her spine as well as being bed ridden for the past month has weakened her legs to the point she will struggle walking for a while. She will need to build up enough strength to be able to walk on her own before returning to the Academy.

"I'll make sure she does." Velvet spoke, Glad that Coco would be ok in the long run. "How long will she need to stay in for?"

"If her condition continues to stay stable she should be able to go home in a couple days, however she will be confined to a wheelchair for the first couple weeks. After that she can try walking around on her own though if she is still struggling then she will need the wheelchair." The Doctor informed while Velvet listened while planning how to get Coco back to the dorm in a wheelchair.

"I will make sure she follows every instruction sir." Velvet said, determination visible in her eyes.

"Good, Now you are welcome to stay here with her until she is discharged but a good night's rest in your own bed would do you some good. I know you've been here since she came in and haven't left since." The Doctor said.

"I've waited a month for her to wake up, a couple more days here won't hurt me." Velvet replied, smiling.

The Doctor nodded before turning and walking away from Cocos room as Velvet ran back in and nearly tackled Coco in a hug.

Two days had past and Coco was finally free to leave Vale Hospital.

Fox and Yatsuhashi had turned up that morning to help Velvet get Coco back to the dorm.

The the walk back and the airship ride had been pretty uneventful with just small talk between Velvet, Coco and Yatsuhashi about what the fashionista had missed. The team's first problem however was when they reached the stairs up to the dorm rooms.

"How do we get her back to the dorm?" Velvet asked, looking between the stairs and her girlfriend.

"Simple." was all the teams giant said before he picked Coco up bridal style. "Fox could you carry the chair up to our floor?" Yatsuhashi asked earning a nod from the brawler and a few words of unhappiness from Coco before the team started their trek up to their dorm.

After reaching the dorm and Velvet made sure Coco was comfortable in her own bed, Yatsuhashi dragged Velvet away for a bit with a fake excuse to get Fox some time to talk to Coco.

"Before you start with all the apologies Fox, I don't blame you for what happened." Coco spoke, completely derailing Fox's plan.

"Is it that obvious?" Fox asked with a huff.

"Not really but after living with you for two years i can tell when something's eating at you." Coco replied, smirking. "Look if you really like you really need to make it up to me then help Velvet deal with me."

"Geez want to kiss your ass now too?" Fox joked, some of his normal humour starting to show again.

"Hey if you feel the need to i won't stop you." Coco winked, causing both teens to start laughing.

"I've missed having you around." Fox spoke, his expression softening.

"Well I don't plan on going anywhere for a while so we will see how long you feel that way." Coco replied, smiling genuinely.

"Yeah I guess with will." Fox retorted before walking over to his desk to work on some of the class work he had missed during his disappearance.

After Yatsuhashi had decided the pair had spent enough time to fix any issues that Fox thought they may have, He and Velvet finally returned to the dorm.

"Hey Yatsu I hate to do this to you and Foxy but would you mind if Velvs and I had the room to ourselves tonight?" Coco asked.

"Yeah I got no problem with it. What about you big guy.?" Fox asked, earning a quick No from Yatsu who started packing. "So you paying for the hotel room again?"

"Yeah I'll pay." Coco replied, handing Yatsu her card. "Make sure he doesn't use it to buy more random junk."

"Man you use your team leaders card to buy a full course meal for yourself and the giant one time." Fox spoke, sarcasm evident in his voice.

"And some roses and a box of chocolates for some random girl you met while you were out." Coco retorted, her smirk plastered on her face.

"What can i say she seemed nice and the big guy said she was hot." Fox replied with a shrug of his shoulders.

"I said she looked pretty." Yatsuhashi said in his calm demeanour.

"Pretty, hot same thing in my books dude." Fox replied before picking up his overnight bag and walking out the door, continuing to chat with Yatsuhashi about the girl leaving a laughing Coco with her girlfriend.

For the first couple minutes Velvet just sat at her desk working on her class work while Coco groaned in boredom.

"Velvs I didn't pay the guys to stay away for the night for you to sit there working." Coco whined, her arms outstretched, waiting for Velvet to come over.

Hesitantly, Velvet made her way over before sitting in Coco's lap, carefully wrapping her arms around Coco to avoid irritating any sore injuries.

"I'm not some porcelain doll you have to carefully handle Velvs." Coco said while rolling her eyes.

"I just don't want to hurt you." Velvet mumbled

"Relax Bun i'm fine." Coco smirked before laying back and pulling Velvet with her.

Now Coco was laying on her back with Velvets body pulled close to her, her head resting on Cocos shoulder.

The pair were silent for a couple moments before Velvet finally broke the silence.

"I'm sorry you got hurt because of me." Velvet mumbled, her ears drooping.

"Velvs if me taking a hit means you're safe then I'll gladly go through this anyday." Coco replied, running her hand up and down Velvets back.

"But I don't want you get hurt Coco." Velvet said, sitting up slightly she could look into Cocos eyes.

"Bun in this line of work we are going to get hurt one way or another." Coco replied, watching as Velvet's ears drooped more in worry. "But I'll try and be more careful for you ok?"

Velvet nodded before laying back down to rest her head on Cocos shoulder, joy filling her body.

Velvet couldn't be happier than she felt right now, her one wish had been answered and Coco had not only woken up but would eventually make a full recovery.

When she saw her girlfriend laying on the ground, Velvets world had fallen apart around her and now, her world had started piecing itself together.

Hey everyone I'm back with what is technically the final chapter.

So I'm sorry it's taken me so long to finally finish this but I hoped you have all enjoyed the ride.

Now the reason this is technically the final chapter is that i'm planning to write one more chapter following Cocos recovery but if it feels like it's just dragging when i write it then i'll leave this as the true ending but as far as it's concerned right now this is complete.

As always if you enjoyed, hated, have constructive criticism or have a question please let me know so I can make this story and any future stories I write better.

Thanks for reading and have an awesome day.
