RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Previously:

The younger brother gave a fond smile, "He is. He was always there to look after Amethyst when mom and dad were not home. If we had any bullies he was always in the front telling them off or with one of my bullies kicking his ass."

"I never had bully problems." Emerald said, "I guess they were scared of me."

"Lucky. I either had people trying to win favor with my dad or bulling me because of one thing or another." The male teen closed the photo album when the alarm on his scroll when off, "I have to get sleep. Talk to you in the morning?"

Emerald nodded, "Certainly. I think we have that training class tomorrow."

"We do." Neptune got up and walked over to pull out his pjs.

Now:

Emerald woke up early the next morning and looked over at Neptune snorting lightly. Observing him for a bit longer she help but think he was cute with his bed head. She walked closer to watch him sleep. She covered her small smile when he twitched and shifted in his sleep to his side. As he settled his shirt slid up a little showing his stomach a bit. She made a face, "Hm. Why are all the cute ones on the opposite side?" Neptune didn't respond as his arm slid to dangle off the bed. She appreciated the muscle tone the bluenet had. Emerald shook her head, "This would get me in a bad place anyway." She walked out of the room with another shake of her head.

She sighed as she closed the door, "You look like you've seen betters days."

Emerald glared at Mercury, "Oh shut up."

Cinder smiled, "He's cute isn't he?"

Emerald nodded, "Yes and it is infuriating because…" She pouted and looked away from a smirking Mercury, "Damn it has only been one day and he's got me thinking he is the most adorable guy on the planet."

Mercury frowned hearing that, 'What the hell? How did he do that? I mean I know I have just been messing with her but she genuinely likes him and he isn't even trying.'

Emerald moved when the door opened and Neptune walked out with a groan pulling down his shirt. He gave a mumbled, sleepy, and slurred 'morning' as he made his way to the bathroom. She looked at the blue eyed males disheveled appearance. She tilted her head as the said male closed the door to the bathroom. Cinder gave a wider smile, "Oh honey you have it bad."

"Oh I do." Emerald groaned and rubbed her face, "How did I let this happen?"

"You didn't do it on purpose these things just happen." Cinder said touching Emeralds shoulder.

"But he flirts with every girl." Emerald said trying to make the Neptune seem less desirable.

Mercury raised an eyebrow, "You know that is not serious right?"

Emerald groaned just as the mentioned teen walked out of the bathroom rubbing his eyes, "Hi. Bye." Neptune then disappeared back into the bedroom. Not long later they heard the bed creek as the teen flopped back onto it.

Emerald sat on the couch with a yet another groan, "Why?" Suddenly it hit her, "Wait. He genuinely likes Weiss."

Mercury rolled his eyes extremely amused, "Did that help or make it worse?"

She glared at the grey haired male then longingly at the room door when the light snoring was heard, "Nooooo, it makes me want him more."

"And let's be honest here. It would be a bit cliché if he ended up with a girl from another company run by a family so to speak." Mercury said with a smirk, "He doesn't seem like the type to be tied down in one place till later years."

"Mercury…"

Said male looked at her with his insufferable smirk and gave a drawn out, "Yes?"

"I hate you and everything you live and stand for." Emerald growled, "Why couldn't you just let me talk myself out of this?"

He thought about it, "Well let me put it this way. I just want to see what you are like in a relationship and…" He stretched his arms over his head, "He has a loose tongue." Mercury smirked, "Meaning he has a hard time keeping secrets."

Cinder nodded in agreement, "That is useful."

Emerald shook her head much to the shock of her teammates, "No! I don't use relationships like that. If I am going to date someone then I will do it seriously." She looked away, "I'm not okay with dating people for information."

"Is that so?" Cinder said reeling in her shock. She looked slightly disappointed making Emerald feel guilty.

"But you are okay with hurting 'potential' friends?" Mercury asked with a raised eyebrow.

The green haired girl looked away, "That isn't the same. Dating allows for a deeper level of intimacy. I am not okay with hurting a potential husband."

Cinder smiled, "Okay then I won't ask that of you. But just know if you have a relationship with him I still expect you to do your part."

Emerald nodded, "Yes of course. I won't ever let that get in the way."

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

A couple hours later Neptune startled Mercury and Emerald by opening the door quickly. Upon seeing Mercury and Cinder he smirked and bolted to their room starting with Mercury's. The grey haired male raised an eyebrow, "What the…"

He was cut off when they heard Scarlet yelled and the mischievous blue haired male ran out laughing, "Neptune I am going to kill you!"

The blue haired teen then disappeared into Cinders room where they were sure they heard the bed creak as Neptune apparently jumped on it causing Sun to laugh. "Oh my goodness they are crazier than I thought."

The red head popped out of the room glaring at the laughter, "Ooo, I am going to make him pay."

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Neptune laughed as he jumped on Suns bed accidentally making the Faunus roll on him. "What do you think he is going to try this time?"

"Depends on what you did." Sun laughed rolling off his best friend still in his pjs.

Neptune snickered, "I dumped a cup of cold water on him to wake him up."

Sun shook his head and pretended to have a crystal ball in front of him, "I see a hose in your future."

The blue haired teen rolled his eyes, "I don't doubt it."

"You miss me as your roommate?" The Faunus asked nudging Neptune.

"Yes but Emerald isn't a bad roommate. She even took the window bed without complaint."

Sun nodded, "I told you most people like the window bed."

Neptune sighed and shivered, "I don't know how. It creeps me out."

The blond rubbed his shoulder, "I promise you can get through this. Just stay calm."

Neptune smiled and laid his head on Suns shoulder, "Thank you Sun. I don't know what I would do without you."

The Faunus hugged him comfortingly, "You are my brother no matter what anyone says." The blue eyed male sighed happily and hugged his best friend. "My mess of a brother."

"Pray for me please?" Neptune requested looked up at Sun.

Sun nodded, "Of course."

Neptune sat up and pulled out of the comforting hug, "Thank you Sun."

"Your welcome. Now go get dressed we got a long day ahead of us." The human ran out of the room with a smile. Sun sighed as he rubbed his face, "He will be okay, Sun. He will be okay."
