It had been two weeks since team RWBY had been in the same room together. The reason why? Is because one Glenn Skellington was avoiding them. He couldn't face Yang after what he said, and every time she attempted to track him down, he would run.
Weiss, Ruby, and Blake had noticed the strange tenseness between the two blondes, and Yang's constant need to find Glenn was affecting her performance in class. Glenn wasn't doing well either as he was called back to stay behind in history class.
"Is something the matter Mr Skellington?" Oobleck asked as he sipped his canteen. "You seem to be doing worse in my class, and both Port and Glynda have seen you dropping scores in their classes as well...what's happening young man?" the green haired glasses wearing professor asked in concern for the blonde brawler.
"What would you do if you couldn't control yourself?" Glenn asked lowly as Oobleck raised an eyebrow. "Does this have to do with your Aura, Ozpin informed me that your attitude in battle changes when you use it?" Oobleck questioned as Glenn sighed.
"Something like that, I just don't know what to do...and it's affecting the team, maybe I shouldn't be here after all" Glenn mumbled as Oobleck eyed him with a frown. "So you believe that something you don't have control over means you should give up, I didn't think of you as a quitter Glenn" Oobleck voiced as Glenn's head shot up, glaring at him.
"I never quit" he growled as the man smiled slightly. "Then why don't you apply that to your problem, I'm sure you can figure it out" he said, gesturing to the door as Glenn slowly pushed away from his chair.
Once again the blonde found himself standing at the hallway to his teams dorm room, leaning against the wall as he stared at the door. "Nope" a voice spoke as Glenn looked to see both Ruby and Jaune sitting in front of team JNPR's door.
"We're leaders Jaune, its not just about us any more, if we start to fail, that means we'll be failing our team and ourselves, we can't" Ruby said as the blonde knight looked at her. "I guess" Jaune said as Ruby sighed.
"My team has its own problems, I can't even find Glenn to figure out how to help, so until that happens, I'm not giving up, and you shouldn't either, your team needs their leader Jaune, good night" Ruby said, leaving Jaune with his own thoughts as Glenn slowly slid down the wall he was leaning against.
"What am I doing" he mumbled solemnly. "That's what I would like to know" a voice spoke as tainted blue eyes met amber. Blue blinked as amber narrowed. "Let's walk" Blake said, gesturing for the blonde to follow her.
"So what's been going on lately?" Blake asked as the two of them walked out of beacons front gate, heading towards the fountain. "What a blunt way to ask" Glenn commented as he sat down at the edge of the fountain, Blake sitting next to him, still waiting for an answer.
"I want answers" Blake replied as she stared at the blonde beside her. "I said something I shouldn't have, and I don't want to face the consequences of it" Glenn mumbled as Blake raised an eyebrow, her bow twitching slightly.
"Is it something to do with Yang?" Blake asked as Glenn glanced at her. "What the little kitty jealous?" Glenn asked with a smirk as Blake's cheek reddened slightly. "No" she muttered, looking away as Glenn smiled.
"But yeah, it is something to do with her" Glenn explained lowly. "Then why don't you talk to her, work something out" Blake questioned as Glenn raised an eyebrow. "This coming from the resident anti-social one of our team?" he questioned as Blake punched his shoulder in annoyance.
"Okay, okay, no more jokes" Glenn conceded as Blake offered him a smile. "Yo really should talk with her, she's been worry sick over you and with the trip tomorrow, it's not going to be easy on any of us" Blake spoke up as Glenn frowned, turning his attention towards the broken moon.
"I know, I still don't know what to do" Glenn whispered as Blake sighed. "None of us do, we just have to bare with it and see what happens, I'm sure you'll think of something" Blake said as she stood up. "Get some rest dragon boy" she said, leaning forward as her lips pressed against his cheek.
"Some of us want our teammate back" she added, leaving the blonde at the fountain, a sway in her hips attracting his eyes. "Oh primus" he mumbled leaning backwards in defeat.
Only to fall into the fountain.
"It's cold!" he yelled bolting out of the water, his eyes looking towards beacons gate as he noticed Blake giggling to herself as she looked back at him.
The next morning, team JNPR, RWBY, and CRDL were follow professor goodwitch through the red tainted forest, forever fall. Glen was lagging behind, tension between him as Yang was able to be cut with a knife if you tried.
"Your assignment is to collect one vial of sap from the trees before you, split up into your teams and make sure to watch your back for an Grimm that may be about" Glynda explained as she sent the teams off on their mission.
As RWBY and JNPR left, Glenn noticed that Jaune was helped Cardin and his team instead, and if he wasn't going to be a hypocrite he would have said something. "Hay Glenn" a voice spoke up behind him as he turned to see Ruby looking up at him.
"You coming?" she asked as the blonde looked away. "Sorry" he mumbled, walking off as Ruby frowned. "Nope" he said, gripping the end of his half skirt as Glenn paused. "Ruby, let go" he said, tugging at his half skirt.
"Nope, we are a team, and I'm, your leader so I'm going to sort this out" Ruby insisted as she started dragging Glenn towards everyone else. "Hay, let go!" Glenn yelled, only to be ignored as Rub continued to pull him towards everyone else.
"Not until you talk with Yang, and you're not getting away until you do" Ruby said stubbornly as Glenn sighed. Why don't people just leave him alone? "Because we care" Ruby quipped in as Glenn let his shoulder slump in defeat.
Even here people read his mind!
"Hay Ruby what took you so..." Yang's voice trailed off as she noticed a defeated looking Glenn being dragged towards her by Ruby. "Ugh...hay Glenn" Yang said nervously as Glenn glanced at her. "Hay" he muttered awkwardly.
"For the love of, can you three give us a minute please" Weiss said, looking towards Nora, Pyrrha, and Ren. They nodded, seeing that RWBY needed to sort this out themselves. "Not that they are gone, what is going on between you two?" Weiss asked, her hands on her hip as she looked between the two blondes.
"Nothing/ a lot" Glenn and Yang answered at the same time. Weiss only pinched the bridge of her nose as she sighed. "How about to both explain from the beginning, what happened" Weiss asked as both of the blondes looked uncomfortable with the question.
"Ugh..." Yang started, trying to think of something to say as Glenn looked away. "It's just..." Glenn continued uncomfortably. They were cut off explaining as the other three of team CRDL came running past them, screaming about a large ursa Grimm.
"What's going on?" Yang asked, holding Dove by his caller. "An ursa attacked Cardin and that Jaune kid!" he yelled as Yang dropped him. "We need to get the professor" Weiss said as Glenn narrowed his eyes towards the cliff overlooking them.
"Get the others, Ruby get the professor, everyone else lets go" he ordered quickly, already running towards the roar of the Grimm.
Jaune leaped backwards, just avoiding the ursa's claw swipe, his shield held in front of him as he kept the Grimm in his sights. His swelling eye made him wince as his vision started to shrink, making it harder to fight as it was.
The Grimm roared, lunging towards him as Jaune met its claw with his shield, redirecting it away as he swiped at it with his sword. Breathing heavily, the blonde knight was unprepared for the follow up claw crashing into his chest, sending him towards the leaf covered ground.
He didn't think as he rolled backwards, just avoiding the deadly claws as he took off running around the large major Grimm. The other arrived to see the beats turning towards him, Glenn's gauntlets already out as he readied to help the knight.
Only to pause as he noticed Cardin laying on the ground, his chest armour covered in sap as looking at Jaune in disbelief. "What are you doing, we need to help" Weiss said, only for Glenn to shrug. "Jaune has this" he commented, his gauntlet folding away into their bracelets as Pyrrha arrived behind them.
All four of them watched as Jaune and the ursa charged at each other again, Jaune abandoning his shield as increase the strength of his sword slash. Leaving him wide open to the beasts on coming claw.
Out of the corner of his eye, Glenn caught the sight of Pyrrha lifting her hand, a faint black aura surrounding her hand, one that matched the faint glow around Jaune's shield. Slowly, the boys shield lifted to block the ursa's claw, Jaune readjusting his stance to take the hit.
As the claw bounced away form his shield, Jaune took his chance, his blade sweeping through the air and taking the ursa's head from its shoulders. "What did you do?" Weiss questioned as she turned to Pyrrha for an answer.
"Just like Yang's fire and Ruby's speed, my semblance is polarity" Pyrrha answered with a smile as Jaune slowly sheathed his blade, standing over Cardin as he presented his hand to the ginger boy. "Should we tell him?" Yang asked as Pyrrha smiled.
"I don't think we need too" Pyrrha replied as they turned to leave. Glenn was stopped as Yang stood in front of him, not looking at him as she nervously gripped her forearm. "We...haven't really talked in a while" she spoke up as Glenn sighed.
"What would happen if we did..." Glenn mumbled in return. "I could get a straight answer for one" Yang snapped as she turned to her fellow blonde. "Do you, do you really feel that way about me?" Yang asked quietly as Glenn looked away.
"How could I not" he whispered just loud enough for her to hear. "A beautiful, courageous, brave and caring young women...how could my instincts not name you my mate" Glenn said as he turned away from her.
"Why didn't you just say that, why didn't you ever tell me?" Yang questioned softly. "What would happen, the most popular girl in school dating a monster" Glenn questioned as Yang looked at him in surprise.
"You're not a monster" Yang countered as Glenn turned to her. "Yes I am, I'm not even human anymore, I have the blood of a demon, the powers of a devil and a soul of a dragon, it would never work" Glenn growled as his eyes glowed slightly.
"We don't know until we try!" Yang yelled as she gripped the blonde caller. Before he could react, her lips pressed against his in a searing kiss. Before Yang could deepen the kiss, a loud roar echoed around them.
Both blonde turned to see a large major ursa lumbering into the field, glaring at the two of them. "Shall we?" Glenn asked, a healthy blush dusting his cheeks as Yang smirked at him. "Do you need to ask?" she questioned playfully, his gauntlets unfolding as Glenn followed suit.
The two didn't need to think as they moved, both leaping to opposite sides as the large ursa charged them. Twisting to face the beast, both blondes released a single shotgun shell, the fire, and ice exploding against the Grimm's side as it stumbled backwards.
Yang was already off, shooting herself forward as she reared her right fist back. As the Grimm turned back towards them, it was met with a armoured fist, its head snapping to the side as its mask cracked from the force of the punch.
As the Yang backed off, Glenn made his move. Lunging forward, the blondes switched places, Glenn throwing a left punch towards the Grimm's shoulder. His demonic Aura was already enhancing his fist as it crashed into the black fur, cracking bone and tearing muscle before an frost shell tore the limb from its socket.
Leaping into the air, Glenn looked down to see Yang dashing under him, the Grimm stumbling away as the blonde girl moved. Her left fist crashed into its open chest, forcing it to turn towards her as her right slammed into the centre of its chest.
Fire exploding on impact as the Grimm was sent flying into a tree, destroying the red leafed tree as the beats landed painfully on the ground. Glenn landed beside Yang, looking to see the ursa struggling to stand back up, its working arm broken at the wrist as its other was left limp at its side.
Nodding to Yang, both blonde shot forward, their fist pulled back as their respective shotgun shells loaded into the barrels of their gauntlets. The Grimm didn't have time to even see the attack as fire and ice tore through its neck and broken ribs.
Blood exploded outs it back, its body slumping over dead as its blood stained the already blood red leaves.
Yang turned and smiled at Glenn, seeing him glancing at her, a blush still dusting his cheeks as he refused to meet her gaze. "Is...is what you said true?" he asked quietly as Yang's smirk turne4d to a soft smile.
"What do you think?" she commented, stepping forward as Glenn finally looked at her. Only for his eyes to widen as she kissed him again. "But since it took you so long, your taking me shopping for our first date" Yang said, turning to leave as Glenn blinked in confusion.
"Come on dragon boy, everyone's leaving us behind!" Yang called back as the demon shook his head, smiling as he followed the girl out of the clearing. Unknown to the blonde, a competely white figure stared at him from beyond the tree line.
A sneering skull helmet topped with tow vicious looking horns and ice blue claw marks running down the left side. "So you found another, interesting" the hollow voice echoed form its jagged fangs jaws as it slowly turned away, clawed hands leaving the tree as an multiple coloured jewel glinted form its bare chest.
"See you later...king"
