Hima, Neptune, and I watched as Team RWBY and some other team engaged in the COOLEST FOOD FIGHT EVER! How did they even do that with all those foods?!
"God, I'm surrounded by complete dunces." Hima face-palmed. I wrapped an arm around her shoulders, smiling deviously.
"Aren't you used to it by now?" I asked, only for us both to look up after a brief flash. Neptune lowered a camera, laughing.
"What a perfect SnowSun moment! I ship it!"
"Neptune!" I snapped. "Hima and I are just friends! Will you quit it?!" Hima nodded, placing her hands on her hips.
Neptune just snapped another picture.
/\
Later that day, after the food fight ended, Neptune, Hima, and I agreed to help Team RWBY investigate Torchwick and the White Fang.
I went with Blake to spy on the White Fang, Neptune went with Yang to interrogate some Night-Club owner, and Weiss and Ruby went to call the SDC from the CCT.
None of those were Hima's style, so she hid outside the White Fang meeting in case we needed backup.
/\
We needed backup.
As Blake and I ran from the giant robot that Torchwick was controlling, Hima joined us.
"YOU ARE CRAZY!" Hima practically screamed. I grabbed her hand, helping her run faster.
"Shut up and run!"
/\
We continued running, ending up leaping across cars on a highway.
Neptune and Yang arrived, my partner leaping up and driving his trident into the robot.
"Hang on, Neptune!" I leapt up onto a truck and activated my semblance, sending my clones at the mech. Then, the robot threw Neptune at me, sending us flying off the highway.
"Sun!" Hima shouted, leaping onto the truck and raising her hands. A glyph caught Neptune and I, supporting us and saving our lives.
Hima gasped and looked up as the robot threw a punch at her, yelling in pain as it made contact and sent her flying at us. I stood and caught her bridal style, the girl looking up at me in shock.
It was dark, but I'm pretty sure that she blushed.
Then, Neptune popped up and snapped a picture on his camera.
We glared at him, then the glyph faded and we fell.
/\
"They're probably fine, right?" I asked, sitting with Hima and Neptune at the noddle stand. Neptune shrugged.
"Probably."
"... I'm going to die someday, and you two will just be eating noodles somewhere." Hima deadpanned. Then, all three of us laughed.
/\/\/\/\
A few days later, I had asked Blake to the dance and been publicly rejected. So, I went to the one person I knew who was an expert on girls.
I knocked on the Team EMBR dorm room, and she answered.
"Um, Hima?" I asked. The girl raised an eyebrow.
"Yes?"
"I need help."
"With what?"
"... How can I asked Blake out to the dance?" I finally asked. Hima blinked a few times in surprise.
"Oh..."
"Can you help me?"
"... Of course." Hima smiled, nodding. "Let me just finish something up really quick." She ducked back into the room, closing the door behind her.
/\
Rhea, Naomi, and Claudia looked at their leader with pity as she leaned against the door, biting her lower lip and gathering herself.
"You don't have to, Hima." Claudia sighed, shaking her head. "Pretend one of us is sick, do anything-"
"No." Hima closed her eyes. "If Sun wants to go to the dance with Blake, I'll do whatever I can to help him... That's what friends do."
/\
Hima popped out of her room, smiling brightly.
"Okay! Let's go!"
/\
A few hours later, Hima had taught me everything from how to dance to how not to make a complete idiot of myself in front of Blake.
"Thanks, Hima!" I hugged the tiny girl, smiling brightly. "You're the best friend a guy could have!"
"I do my best." Hima replied, giving a small grin. I pulled away.
"Is there anything I could do to pay you back? Name it, and it's done! I'll even say the thing!"
"You just go and enjoy the dance, Sun." My best friend smiled, turning away. "Try not to let Neptune embarrass himself. You know how he is."
"You're not going?" I asked. Hima paused, then looked back.
"No."
"Why not?"
"... Our first missions are tomorrow. I'm getting some rest."
"No, something's up. You know I always know."
"Huh... Is that a fact?"
"Yes. Now, spill."
"Let's just say that I'm not fond of being an onlooker." Hima left the room without another word.
"An onlooker?" I asked. I was really, really confused.
Hima had meant it as though no one would dance with her.
But for some reason, it made something inside of me click.
Then, my eyes widened.
"Um, Hima?"
"Yes?"
"I need help."
"With what?"
"... How can I asked Blake out to the dance?"
"Oh..."
"Can you help me?"
"... Of course."
I was an idiot.
"Hima? I, uh, don't know how to do any of those formal dances you're supposed to do at these things."
"God, you're hopeless... Alright, come here."
"You'll help me?"
"Don't I always?"
I was a dunce.
"I'm not fond of being an onlooker."
I was a complete dolt.
"I'm so stupid!" I face-palmed. Someone laughed.
"You're only now seeing it?" A girl's voice asked. I turned to see...
"Blake?" I asked. The cat-Faunus walked over, arms crossed with a faint smile on her face. "You knew?"
"It wasn't that hard to see... Though, she is very good at keeping it from you. Most of my friends keep dropping hints to the guys they like, even Weiss, but not Hima. She even helped you try to impress another girl."
"Try?"
"Sun, you're like an annoying little brother I never asked for, but got stuck with anyway. I would love to be your friend, but..."
"Not in that way."
"Yes... So, I'm going to help you, like a big sister, to mend this divide that's growing between you and Hima."
Blake held her hand out and I took it, smiling as memories flashed...
/\
I might never be your knight in shining armor...
"It'll be fine." I promised, smiling as I extended a hand. "Trust me." Hima hesitated for a moment, then smiled and took it.
"Okay."
I might never be the one you take home to mother...
"Sun?" Mom asked tiredly. "Why are you outside? It's..." Then, Mom noticed Hima, and her eyes widened. "Late... Who is this?"
"This is a friend of mine."
And I might never be the one who brings you flowers...
"Musa paradisiaca?" I asked, hanging upside-down by my tail and offering a banana. Hima rolled her eyes and took it, smiling.
"You dunce..."
But I can be the one, be the one tonight!
I gave Hima her first hug, and she closed her eyes as she buried her face in my chest.
When I first saw you
From across the room
I could tell that you were curious...
Oh, yeah!
"Are you alright?" The girl asked, her blue eyes wide. I had never seen eyes like those.
I blinked a few times, still surprised, then nodded and reached out to accept my rescuer's hand.
Girl, I hope you're sure
What you're looking for,
'Cause I'm not good at making promises.
"From now on, everything will be different." I promised. "I'm going to teach you how to do all the things normal kids do. How to run, jump, climb, ride a bike, have fun, and everything else your dad never let you do. I will even give you at least one hug a day for the rest of our lives. Promise."
But if you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms!
"Come on!" I bounced on my bed. "It's fun!" Hima rolled her eyes and climbed up onto the bed, then yelped in fear as I grabbed her hands and made her start bouncing.
That yell soon became laughter.
And if you like having secret little rendezvous!
Hima let out a small, muffled cry of alarm as my hand covered her mouth.
"Don't scream." I whispered. "I'm here to help, but if I'm gonna do that, you can't scream. Got it?" Hima's eyes were wide, but she calmed and nodded. I removed my hand, and we remained in silence, analyzing each other.
She was so hurt, her eyes filled with an unbearable sadness.
I had to help.
If you like to do the things you know that we shouldn't do!
"Come on, Snow Queen! Join me!" I laughed, hanging from a tree branch. Hima shook her head.
"I can't do that. It's dangerous, moronic, and- AH!" The girl yelped as I wrapped my tail around her waist and pulled her up into the tree. "Will you stop doing that?!"
Then baby, I'm perfect!
Baby, I'm perfect for you!
Hima gave a gasp as Rhea Claw slammed me into a wall.
"Worried about your boyfriend?" Neptune teased. Hima glared.
"He's not my b-boyfriend!"
"Your voice cracked."
"S-shut up!"
And if you like midnight driving with the windows down!
Hima gazed at the bicycle, her blue eyes wide.
"This is how I'm going to die."
"It'll be fine." I wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "If you fall, I'll catch you!"
And if you like going places we can't even pronounce!
"We're definitely not in Vacuo, anymore." I smiled mischievously. "Come on, let's meet the neighbors!"
"No pick-pocketing!"
"You're no fun!"
If you like to do whatever you've been dreaming about!
The girl tossed and turned, kicking and screaming in her sleep. Upon closer inspection, she was also crying.
"Leave me alone! Leave me alone!" The girl shouted. I leapt up onto her bed and tried to shake her out of it.
"Hima, wake up! Wake up!" I pleaded, desperate. Hima's blue eyes shot open, wild and afraid, and she immediately threw her arms around me and hugged me, sobbing into my chest. I looked down at the little girl and slowly hugged back, gently running a hand down her back and hair. "It's alright, it was just a nightmare. You're safe."
Then baby, you're perfect!
Baby, you're perfect!
So let's start right now.
Hima laughed, the first laugh I had ever heard from her.
Wow.
It was...
Amazing.
I might never be the hands you put your heart in...
"Schnees aren't heartless. We're human, we bleed, and we fall down... And sometimes, we're pushed."
Why didn't she ever tell me any of that?
Or the arms that hold you any time you want them...
"Y-you're scared?" Hima asked. I looked down, but Hima buried her face into my chest again. "It's okay."
"W-what did you see?" I asked, trying to take my mind off the storm. Hima closed her eyes.
"My father." She replied quietly, frowning. "I was back home, and I had disappointed him again. He said I'd never see you, your mom, this place, or anything again, and then..." Hima hugged tighter. I rested my chin on top of her head, closing my eyes and sighing.
But that don't mean that we can't live here in the moment!
"Wanna stow away on a ship to Vale with me?"
"Sun, I don't-"
"Please!"
"... Only because it's you."
"Yes!"
'Cause I can be the one you love from time to time!
"HUG SNEAK ATTACK!" I hugged Hima, and she gave a small blush as people laughed.
When I first saw you
From across the room
I could tell that you were curious...
Oh, yeah!
"How do I look?" Hima stepped out, wearing her combat-outfit for the first time. I stared.
"Um... Nice?"
Amazing!
Hima suddenly giggled, pointing at my outfit.
"Really?"
"What?! Chicks love the abs!"
"Whatever..."
Girl, I hope you're sure
What you're looking for,
'Cause I'm not good at making promises.
"I'll never let that happen. I'll never let him hurt you, and I'll never be away from you... I promise."
"I've never had someone keep a promise, before. Especially the promises about leaving."
"Well, that's because I've never been the one making them."
But if you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms!
"How about we have a slumber party? I've never had one before, but I saw one on a cartoon you showed me... You look like you need one."
"You, too." I yelped at another roar of thunder and flash of lightning, darting under Hima's blanket. She peeked under with a lit flashlight as I cowered, giving a small giggle.
"Has anyone ever told you how adorable you look when you're scared?"
"S-shut up!"
She called me adorable?
And if you like having secret little rendezvous!
"Sing!"
"What?! No, Sun! I-I can't!"
"Yes, you can!" I sat in a student seat, smiling brightly. "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Hima Schnee! Cue the music..."
"Sun, I-"
"Just sing something you know." I insisted, grinning. Hima just stared at me in mute shock, then slowly stood with good posture, folding her hands and closing her eyes.
"Mirror, tell me something...
Tell me who's the loneliest of all..."
If you like to do the things you know that we shouldn't do!
"Please, bail me out! I won't survive in prison! I'm too pretty!"
"What do you say?"
"I promise I won't do it, again!"
"Like you'll keep that promise... And?"
"Hima is the best friend ever!"
"And?"
"No one on Remnant is as great as Hima!"
"And?"
"I don't deserve to kiss the dirt on the bottom of Hima's shoes!"
"And?"
"I'm a worthless worm who is lucky enough to bask in the glow Hima gives off! Now, let me out!"
"The cell's unlocked, genius. I posted bail an hour ago." Hima smirked. The other detainees laughed as I deadpanned.
"I hate you."
"No, you don't."
Then baby, I'm perfect!
Baby, I'm perfect for you!
As we watched a scary movie, Hima yelped and grabbed my arm. I gave a small laugh.
Then, I deadpanned as Neptune held two thumbs-up.
And if you like midnight driving with the windows down!
Hima and I screamed, me with excitement and her with fear, as we rode on a roller-coaster.
"IF WE DIE, I'LL KILL YOU!"
"HANDS IN THE AIR, SNOW QUEEN!"
And if you like going places we can't even pronounce!
"Hello, Beacon! Sun Wukong is here to screw shit up!"
"Shut up, you dunce."
If you like to do whatever you've been dreaming about!
Hima fell asleep on the boat from Vacuo to Vale, and I smiled as she rested her head on my shoulder.
"Goodnight, Snow Queen."
Then baby, you're perfect!
Baby, you're perfect!
So let's start right now.
Hima and I sparred, and she finally won the fight, pinning me to the ground with her foot and holding her rapier to my neck, smirking.
"What do you say?"
"Not again!"
"Say it!"
"Ugh. Fine... Hima is the best friend ever!"
"And?"
And if you like cameras flashing every time we go out...
Oh, yeah...
"I have only one more announcement: one of you has lied about their identity."
"Oh no." My eyes widened. My hand wrapped around Hima's, and she held onto it like a lifeline.
And if you're looking for someone to write your break-up songs about...
"I'm not fond of being an onlooker."
Baby, I'm perfect...
Baby, we're perfect!
"Sun and Hima, fire and ice!" Neptune laughed. "You guys are the dream team, you know that?!"
If you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms!
"Run!" I laughed, holding Hima's hand as we ran from an enraged Professor Goodwitch.
We'd heard that Team CRDL liked picking on Faunus.
We decided to pay them a little visit, and we'd made sure they wouldn't mess with anyone ever again.
"YOU COMPLETE DOLT!"
And if you like having secret little rendezvous!
"Now, the most common stance has the female partner's arms around the male's neck or her hands on his shoulders, while the male's hands are almost always on her waist... Stop blushing, Monkey-Boy. It's just what's proper."
"O-okay. If you say so."
"Now, the easiest dance involves three steps. I'll lead for now, but I'll expect you to take over once you've got the hang of it."
"Okay. I'm ready."
"One... Two... Three. One, two, three. One, two, three..."
"I think I've got the hang of it!"
"You're a natural. Now, stop being a dunce and focus."
If you like to do the things you know that we shouldn't do!
"It's easy." I smirked at Team RWBY. "I do it all the time!"
"You what?!" Weiss asked. I grinned at her reaction.
"I climb trees all the time!"
"I should cut this branch." Hima rolled her eyes, eyeing the branch I hung from. Then, she smirked. "What do you say?"
"No! Not again!" I pleaded. Hima pulled out Gefroren. "Okay, okay! Hima is the best friend ever!"
"And?"
Then baby, I'm perfect!
Baby, I'm perfect for you!
Hima and I laughed as we walked down a sidewalk, I having just finished a good joke.
"I can't stop laughing..!"
"Sorry, Snow Queen!"
"You dunce!"
And if you like midnight driving with the windows down!
"Sun!" Hima shouted as Neptune and I were knocked aside by the Paladin, reaching out to conjure a glyph and catch us.
Then, she was hit off the truck she stood upon, and I was barely able to catch her as she fell.
I held her up bridal-style, and we glared as Neptune smirked and snapped a picture of us.
Then, the glyph faded.
And if you like going places we can't even pronounce!
"You gotta admit: that was fun!" I grinned. Hima rolled her eyes.
"I don't gotta admit anything."
"Aw, don't be like that!"
"Me? At least I don't flirt with everything that moves!"
"I don't flirt with everything that moves! I flirt with hot Faunus girls."
"Whatever."
"Let's head up to Beacon. That's where visitors stay, right?"
"Right."
If you like to do whatever you've been dreaming about!
I accidentally pulled Hima too close while she was teaching me to dance, and she bowed her head to hide what I could only assume was a blush.
"That's enough, for now." Hima pushed away.
Then baby, you're perfect!
Baby, you're perfect!
So let's start right now!
/\
I knocked on my dorm door a few times, and Sage let me in.
I sat down on my bed, unable to fully process it.
"Sun?" Neptune asked. I didn't reply, and he sat next to me. "It's alright. Tell Papa Neptune what's wrong."
"Hima."
"Yikes." Scarlet winced. "Did you get into a fight?"
"No, not exactly."
"What happened?" Sage asked. I looked down.
"Well, I needed help with Blake, and I asked Hima-"
"WHAT?!" My teammates asked. Neptune whacked me upside the head.
"This has gone too far! Hima likes you, you idiot!"
"I know!" I snapped, then looked down. "I know... Blake told me."
"So..?" Scarlet asked. I shrugged, sighing dejectedly.
"I don't know what to do. Blake friend-zoned me, I just learned that my best friend like-likes me, Hima's not going to the dance... And I don't know what to think."
"Sun." Sage placed a hand on my shoulder, smiling. "You're confused as to how you feel about Hima?" I nodded. "I can make it easier... Who is the one person you can't live without?"
My eyes widened.
/\
I hid around a corner as Neptune knocked on the Team EMBR dorm. Hima answered, frowning.
"What?"
"Well, we're going to tonight's dance as a group. You in?"
"No."
"Come on, Snow Queen! It won't be the same without you!"
"I said no!"
"I'll give you twenty Lien!"
"No, Neptune! I'm not going to that stupid dance!"
"Why not?"
"I'm just not!"
"Ahem." We all looked to see the one and only Yang Xiao-Long, arms crossed and smirking. "Allow me." Yang grabbed Hima's arm and dragged her down the hallway while she struggled. "We're going out, getting you a dress, and Weiss will make you look pretty. You're going!"
"No! Let go, you brute!"
"Nope! Call this an intervention!"
"Wow." Neptune stared as I walked over to him. "Did not see that coming."
"Me, either... We should call her first, next time."
"Definitely."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Sun just got hit by the oh-shit-I'm-an-idiot bus! Just so you know, I'm not a fan of 1D, but I thought that the song was appropriate. That Taylor Swift bashing... I only own my OCs! Please read, review, check out my other stories, etc. Thanks!
