"Alright," Sun mumbled to himself as he looked at the list he had in his hand. Neptune glanced over, raising an eyebrow at his enthusiastic friend. Scarlet and Sage gave no concern towards the monkey faunus. The boys were currently hanging around the living room whilst the girls (well, most of the girls had wanted to go) went out to the nearest town to go shopping and check out the locals. Jaune and Ren were with them,
"What are you doing?" Neptune questioned as he walked over to Sun and took a look at the list he had in his hand. Neptune scoffed and held back a laugh when he saw the ridiculous title on the paper. "'The Perfect Summer'? Dude, that sounds totally gay." Neptune commented, raising an eyebrow at Sun.
"It's not gay." Sun retorted, holding the paper to Neptune's face. "It's a list of how I plan to win Blake's heart." he grinned. Neptune took a piece of paper from his friend and looked over it. Neptune scowled at Sun's messy handwriting. Neptune couldn't keep the scowl on his face for too long, amused at how serious Sun was at trying to woo Blake. His friend had never been like this before towards anyone; thus, the childish way how Sun was preparing to 'woo' her.
"Well," Neptune chuckled. "You do have a lot of things here. Will you be able to do it in 3 days?" he questioned, noting that Sun did indeed have a lot planned.
"Of course I can!" he grinned. Scarlet walked over to Neptune and took a look at the list Sun had made. He mumbled about how forever terrible Sun's handwriting was. "Well?" Sun asked, noticing how Scarlet seemed to be thinking this one through. He motioned for Sage to come over and take a look. The two seemed to talk about something within themselves.
"Why not just tell her you like her?" Jaune commented, looking up from the comic book he had been reading. "I mean, you obviously like Blake, so why not just tell her straight up?"
"That didn't work out too well with you before though." Ren commented, closing the book he had been reading since the previous night. "I may not know Blake very well but, I don't think telling her straight out would do the trick." he commented. Sun nodded at the inputs of his comrades, noting them down on a separate sheet of paper.
"Aren't dates that follow dinner then a movie too, overrated?" Scarlet gave him a deadpan look. Neptune nodded in agreement.
"They are?!" Sun and Jaune said in unison.
"Ooh, are you guys talking about dates?" Yang walked into the room, which made Jaune and Sun jump in their seats. "Ah, the famous Blake Date Plan." Yang said excited as she ran over to Scarlet and grabbed the piece of paper from his hands. Yang carefully read it through, looking through each itinerary Sun had listed. She laughed at some, and some she gave an approving look.
"You know what would work best with Blake?" Yang looked at him and took the pen in his hand. She wrote a huge 'x' on the sheet and handed it back to Sun. "None of these." Sun's jaw dropped, all the planning he had done was gone to waste. But oh well, who better to get opinions from than Yang. Neptune and the others just stood there, a little confused on the matter.
"You wouldn't be able to do all those in 3 days." she commented.
The girls had arrived later on. Coco and Weiss came in, carrying an ungodly amount of bags. It was pretty obvious that those two had enjoyed themselves in possibly buying out every store they came across. The people who were left in the villa (mainly Sun and Yang) were pretty pleased that they had finished whatever they were doing.
"Were you guys seriously just here the entire time?" Weiss questioned the group, who seemed to be engaged in a conversation. Though they had left a little while ago, they had thought that the boys plus Yang had gone out on a crazy adventure of some sort. It was odd to see them in the living area, without a single object out of place. "Are you guys on drugs or something?"
"I'm pretty hurt you'd accuse us of that." Yang faked a pained look, making Ruby and Velvet chuckle. Weiss made a sarcastic laugh before putting down the paper bags. "So, what did you get Weiss?" Yang asked out of curiosity. She didn't know anyone who would need such a great amount of clothing, save for herself and Coco.
"It was a disaster!" Winter complained, draping an arm over her sister's shoulder in a dramatic way. "We were so hungry and she just kept on shopping and shopping and-" she stopped her words when Weiss had finally covered her mouth, mumbling some sisterly threats.
"Women." Nora commented, before plopping down on the empty space beside Jaune.
Sun breathed deeply, taking a look at Blake talking with Coco over a cup of tea by the pool. With him were Yang and Neptune, who kept on patting his back and telling him to calm down. Sun's tail swished nervously behind him, unsure if what he was about to do was completely sane.
"You'll be fine, trust me." Neptune assured him, glancing outside to see Blake and Coco finishing up, a gentle smile on her face. Yang put an arm around his shoulder, motioning a hand towards Blake and Coco who were already on their way inside the house.
"You better make your move quick." She messed his hair lightly. "We've been planning this all day."
"How could you be so shy?" Neptune questioned, noticing how his friend was acting a little strange. He had been out with Blake a few times before and he seemed completely fine every time. But now, Neptune noticed that Sun seemed a bit more nervous than usual. It couldn't have been Coco's presence because Sun had never given any notice to the brunette.
Or maybe because Sun had something else planned that he didn't know about.
"I think I'm gonna throw up." Sun mumbled under his breath, waiting for the door to open, expecting Blake to walk in.
"You are not throwing up on us mister." Yang glared at him. "Come on, just run it through us quickly before she comes in." she encouraged him. Sun faced his friends, both Yang and Neptune had their arms crossed, watching him with a stern look as if they were Blake.
"S-So uhm, Blake." Sun tried to put up a cheerful face. Yang held back a laugh, seeing how ridiculous Sun was trying to woo her roommate. Neptune hit her shoulder lightly, then trying to hold back a laugh after realizing how Sun looked like a complete dork trying to woo a girl. Sun glared slightly at them for not taking him seriously.
But then again, who could ever take him so seriously?
"Sun, just be yourself dude." Neptune chuckled, a warm smile gracing his face. "I'm sure she wont turn you down."
"Fine." Sun patted his cheeks before turning to his friends. He had everything all planned out already. All he just needed was to set it all in motion. "Blake, will you go out on a date with me?" he looked at them straight in the eye. Neptune and Yang's eyes widened slightly, and the two seemed a bit surprised about how well that went. Or so Sun thought.
"A date...?"
All Sun could do was mentally slap himself and panic. His tail slightly stiffened as he turned around to see that Blake and Coco had already entered the house. Blake looked at him, an eyebrow raised. There was only silence in the room.
"You're gonna need glasses Sun." Coco spoke, chuckling a little. "Yang and Neptune don't look like Blake one bit." she casually walked over to Yang and Neptune and pulled them both out of the room to give the two some privacy, much to their dislike. Sun wanted to panic, his only source of support had been those two and now he was alone in the living room with Blake.
"S-So uhm... Like I was saying..." Sun was starting to stutter as Blake had walked up to him, her arms crossed above her chest and looking him straight in the eye; amber ones meeting his gray ones. Sun felt his heart skip when he noticed the edge of Blake's lips pull into a smile.
"Okay." she walked pass him. "You know where my room is. I'll be ready by 7."
"How about 6?" Sun spun on his heel as he watched Blake walk over to Coco who was standing behind Yang and Neptune. Blake looked back at him and gave a nod before walking off with Coco. Sun jumped happily and ran to the next room to tell Scarlet and Sage.
Yang smiled at Neptune, who gave her a fist bump.
"Now," Yang draped an arm around Neptune. "Your turn." she grinned, a mischievous glint in her eyes.
Author's Notes: Yet again, another filler chapter. I'm not rushing on anything, and I know that this update may be a bit crappy, but I assure you that this needs to bridge some events later. And hey! Whaddya know, a little twist sounds fun. And to those who are also reading my other story, Belladonna, I'd like to thank you for the support. I'll have future chapters ready for all of you. I'm just quite swarmed with academics as of the moment.
