Forever Fall

"Absolutely not," Vio told Album and Nudar with a tone that said he was done with the discussion. The three were walking back from the school's workshop where he had been performing routine maintenance on Black Bolt.

"C'mon," whined Nudar. "Please?!"

"I'm not wasting my money on equipment and rental fees for a stadium just so you two can play Grifball against one another!" he snapped angrily at them

"It won't be just us," Album said casually. "We were thinking of including you, Leaf, RWBY, and JNPR as well." She got in front of him with her hands clasped together and gave him her best puppy-dog eyes. "Please?" she begged him.

He sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose. "If I say no, you're just going to keep doing this, aren't you?" The two nodded as Nudar joined his partner in giving him puppy-dog eyes. "Fine," he sighed. "I'll CONSIDER your offer of finding a stadium in Vale that would let us play with our friends."

"Thanks Vio!" the two chimed happy as could be as they bolted past him to their room.

"I feel duped!" he yelled at their retreating forms. He heard laughter and a door slam, and sighed at how immature his two teammates could be. He walked around the corner, and found Ruby in her pajamas walking away from the communal bathroom. "Hey Ruby. What's up?"

The younger girl smiled at her fellow leader as she fell in pace with him. "Hey Vio. Just getting ready for bed. Yang was showering and taking forever, so I decided to shower in the morning."

"Makes sense," nodded Vio. "And I'm sure with all that hair, Yang's bound to take a bit longer."

Ruby giggled. "Yeah. You wouldn't believe how many times we fought over who got the shower first back home."

The two shared a laugh. As they rounded the corner to their hallway, they saw Jaune staring at the ground in front of JNPR's door, not trying to go in. "Hey Jaune," Ruby said to get his attention.

The scraggly blond jumped in shock at the voice, and turned to see the owner and her companion. "Oh, Ruby, Vio. Hey." He said the second part slightly sadly.

"Lock yourself out of your room again?" asked Vio.

"No, no," he replied with a chuckle. He held up his scroll. "It's right here." He chuckled a bit in a nervous tone.

"What's wrong?" Vio asked in concern.

He sighed. "I… I messed up. I did something I shouldn't have, and now… Cardin's got me on a leash, and Pyrrha won't even talk to me." He sighed as his fellow leaders looked at him in concern. "I'm starting to think coming to this school was a bad idea." Leaning against the door, he slid down to the floor. "I'm a failure."

There was a pause as he wallowed in his own self-pity. During which, the two other leaders shared a look before Ruby looked down at him. "Nope."

"No?" He looked at her in shock.

"Nope." She walked closer to him. "You're a leader now, Jaune. You're not allowed to be a failure."

"But, what if I'm a failure at being a leader?" he asked.

Vio shook his head. "It'd still be no."

The two sat down on either side of him. "You know, you guys aren't the easiest to talk to about this."

"Nope," they said at the same time, making Ruby giggle.

"Jaune, you may have been a failure as a kid," she said, noticing him groan and slide down further. "And you might have been a failure the first day we met." He slid down again. "But, you can't be one now. You know why?"

"Uh… Because-"

"Because it's not just about you anymore," she said while cutting him off. She even pointed at him to make her point.

"You've got a team, and they all depend on you being their leader," explained Vio. "Nora, Ren, even Pyrrha all need you to be their leader. Same with Team RWBY and VNLA. If we fail, we'll just bring them down too." Jaune got even gloomier at the Black heir's words.

Ruy stood up. "We need to put our teammates first, and ourselves second," she told him with her hands on her hips. "Your team deserves a leader Jaune. And I think that could be you." She pulled open her room's door. "Have a good night," she said with a wave.

Vio got up with a grunt and went to walk to his room. "Hey Jaune, don't get too bent out of shape, alright? It's natural to make mistakes, even for a leader." With that, he went to his door and walked in. Jaune stared after the Black Family heir and thought back on what he had said. He went to get up, but jumped in shock when he heard a thump from VNLA's door followed by yelling that sounded like Vio and laughter from Nudar and Album. A moment later, Leaf walked out in his sweatpants and baggy t-shirt and stood there patiently while Vio could be heard attacking his teammates. As Leaf stood there and Jaune went to get back into his room, his Scroll went off with a message from Cardin. He went wide-eyed at the message saying to get Rapier Wasps for the armored leader, but his attention was diverted when Weiss stormed out of her room in her nightgown.

-POV shift-

To say Weiss Schnee was annoyed would have been as big an understatement as saying there was a small chunk in Remnant's moon. Storming out of Team RWBY's room, despite the others telling her to leave VNLA alone, she stomped right up to the door, only to find the Faunus boy. "Hello… Leaf, was it?"

The green-themed Faunus nodded. "Hello Weiss. How have you been? Lovely night, isn't it?"

She raised a perfectly kept eyebrow at the boy's politeness, but disregarded it to focus on the matter at hand. "Do you realize what time it is?" she said pointedly.

"Um… Sometime at night. I don't have my Braille alarm clock out here and I can't really use watches since I can't see." To illustrate his point, he pulled up his glasses to show her his milky white eyes. No, they're more like snow, she thought to herself. Then she stopped herself. WHERE IS THAT COMING FROM?!

"Are you alright, Weiss?" he asked her in concern. "Your body temperature and heart rate increased suddenly."

She blinked a couple times, and realized her face was flushed. Why am I blushing around this Faunus? "I'm fine, Leaf," she told him. "Now could you please tell your teammates-" Someone slammed into the door inside the room.

"DAMMIT ALBUM!" yelled Vio as she laughed insanely.

"To keep it down," she growled. "Some of us are trying to sleep."

He reached over and turned the door knob. "Tell them yourself. For once they refused to listen to me." When he opened the door with a bow, the still flushed heiress pushed past him.

After entering, she saw the beds were thrown into a state of horrifying disarray, and Vio (still in his combat outfit) was chasing the two heavy hitters of his team with a text book. Album and Nudar stopped short when they saw Weiss glaring at them, and their sudden stop lead to Vio knocking them over when he ran into them. "You three are so dead."

-Next Door-

The three remaining members of Team RWBY continued on with what they were doing. RWBY was brushing her teeth in the bathroom, so Blake and Yang were on their bunks. The blonde, however, was on Blake's bed for some reason as she towel-dried her hair. "Hey Blake, what do you think of Vio?"

Blake looked up from her book and at her partner in curiosity. "What does it matter?"

"Just answer the question," she said with a smirk as she pushed the black-haired girl's shoulder playfully.

"I think he's a nice guy," replied Blake as she pushed Yang's hand aside. "He treats everyone with respect unless they prove they don't deserve it, and he's nothing like the stuck-up heir I'd expect him to be." She smiled. "So yeah, I think he's pretty nice."

"Dammit," muttered Yang.

"Why?" asked Blake.

"Because I was really hoping I was the only one trying to be his girlfriend," explained Yang.

Blake's face lit up in embarrassment. "WHAT?! Yang, I'm not trying to get a boyfriend, I'm trying to become a Huntress. Relationships are the last thing on my mind."

Yang looked at her cautiously. "Uh huh. That's what they all say. But need I remind you of how Vio was shamelessly flirting with you the other day?"

"It was one time!" snapped Blake. "And I'm sure that-" There was a loud crash from VNLA's room, followed by the screams of Nudar, Album, and Vio, and Weiss yelling at the three in absolute fury. "I'm sure that he doesn't have feelings for me," she finished when the screams had quieted down.

"Then why does he keep rejecting me?"

"Who keeps rejecting you?" asked Ruby as she walked in from the bathroom.

"Vio!" snapped Yang. "Every time I try using the ol' Yang Charm, he shoots me down!"

"Oh," replied Ruby with a confused nod. "So, why are you yelling at Blake about it?"

"Because she's trying to steal him from me!"

"I am not!"

Ruby watched as the two older girls went back and forth in this manner, and felt the strong urge to giggle at how childish they were acting. Their door was then kicked open as Weiss stormed in. The arguing partners paused at her slamming the door open and froze at her glare. "I just beat up Vio, Nudar, and Album with nothing but my glyphs for making too much noise. Do you really want me to repeat my demonstration of my glyphs on you two?" The now scared girls shook their heads. "Good." With that, she marched over to her bed and got under the covers. "Good night." Not wanting to invoke her anger any further, the other three members of Team RWBY got to their beds with Ruby turning off the desk light.

-Next Day: At the Forever Fall-

The group of first years walked through the red leafed forest as Professor Goodwitch led them to their destination. The teens from VNLA listened as she explained they were supposed to be collecting tree sap, and had to break into groups to collect one jar each. So, VNLA grouped up together and went off with four jars.

It took a couple minutes, but after they found a good tree and Nudar punched the spigot in without breaking it, they sat around as the cleaver-wielder filled the group's first jar. As they sat around, Leaf decided to break the silence. "So, what exactly did Weiss do to you guys? I came back in and you were all grumbling about how long it would take for your Auras to heal you all and kept gasping in pain. Not to mention all the crashes I kept hearing."

"Basically, she trashed us," Album told him fearfully with a shudder before going to fill her jar as Nudar finished.

"Weiss' Semblance is Glyphs. She uses them for a variety of combat purposes, such as propulsion, temporary paralysis, or Dust enhancing," explained Vio. Getting a nod of understanding from his partner, he continued. "That being said, she only had her Semblance to use last night. So she catapulted us all over our room using them like she never had before." Vio shuddered. "I've seen Weiss when she was angry, but that was something even I've never borne witness to." He looked over at Album and saw she had finished filling her jar with sap. He quickly took her place as Leaf sat there thinking over what Vio had told him.

"Hey Vio, what's up with you and Yang?" asked Album. He looked at her with a raised eyebrow and she sighed. "On the ride here in the Bulldog, Yang asked me if I had feelings for you or if I was trying to be your girlfriend. She seemed really serious about it, and it took a bit of effort to explain I wasn't interested."

"Huh. Weird." He screwed on the lid to his jar before filling one for Leaf. "There's nothing going on between us, unless she thinks there is." He thought for a moment. "Maybe she's bent out of shape after I made that flirtatious comment to Blake. But why would she be upset about that?"

Nudar and Album shared a look of 'really?'. "Dude, I think Yang's got a huge crush on you," Nudar told him like his leader was crazy.

"Well obviously," replied the purple-themed teen with a roll of his eyes. "But why would she be bothered?"

"I mean, she's really into you," emphasized the blond. "She might be scared you'll choose someone else."

"Really?" he asked in surprise, so much so that he almost over-filled Leaf's jar.

"REALLY?!" yelled Album. "You're that dense that you didn't notice she's obsessed with you?! I'm asexual and I still noticed!" Nudar looked at her weirdly, but didn't ask.

"Well sorry, but I tend to ignore flirting, especially after how much of it I dealt with at White Castle and with Weiss' sister Winter," he replied slightly nervously.

"Idiot," muttered Album. "She's crushing on you big time, and your little comment to Blake probably set her on the war path to win your heart." She glared at the now nervous leader. "So, what exactly do you think of Yang Xiao Long?"

"Shouldn't we be getting back to Goodwitch?"

"SIT!" she yelled. He complied and sat down on a rock out of fear of provoking the hammer-wielder's wrath. "Now talk. What do you think of her?"

"Well, she's certainly attractive," he started.

"Other than her jigglies and her body," snapped the whitette. The other two boys decided to lounge about as their leader was interrogated.

"I mean aside from her feminine charms," he replied. "She tries to be upbeat about everything unless she's pissed off, she tries to be friends unless she knows she can't stand someone." He put a hand to his chin. "Other than that, she seems decent enough. My only complaint is how she flirts with me so much."

"So other than the flirting thing, you would totally date her?" asked Nudar as he decided to enter the conversation.

"Yes?" Vio said uncertainly.

"Then why not ask her out?!" demanded the blond. "It would save all of us from this headache inducing love drama!"

"Because I'm not sure I should!" snapped Vio. He took a breath. "I was thinking about how Yang is a great person that I wouldn't mind be in a relationship with, but then I started realizing how a lot of the things that Yang is lacking in are things I like about Blake. And then…" he looked down at the ground and shook his head with a sigh. "I just start getting confused."

"So wait," interrupted Leaf. "You mean to tell me you have feelings for both Yang and Blake?" He shook his head. "Geez Vio, you're in one heck of a mess."

"Tell me about it," he muttered. He brushed his hair back and went to pick up his and Leaf's jars of sap. "Look, can we just drop it? Let's just get these jars back to Goodwitch."

"Fine," agreed Nudar. He helped Vio by grabbing the other two jars and following him. "You guys coming?" he asked Leaf and Album.

"We'll be along soon," she told him. After the two guys left, she looked over to a nearby tree. "Does that answer your question?"

Yang stepped out from behind said tree with a blush and a jar in her hand. "Wow… he really meant that?" she asked.

"Yes," Leaf replied with a nod. "He had an even pulse and didn't give any signs of lying to us. So he most likely does have feelings for both you and Blake…who is doing a terrible job of hiding from me!" he loudly yelled at the opposite end of the clearing.

She stepped out looking a bit flustered both from what she had heard and that the Bat Faunus had known she was there the entire time. She was also holding a jar of the pinkish sap. "Sorry, but when Yang ran off on me, I followed to see what was going on." She looked in the direction Vio had gone. "Although now…"

"Dibs!" Yang called quickly. "I'm not letting you get him, Blake."

"Since when were we fighting over Vio?" demanded the black haired girl.

"Why not let him decide?" asked Leaf. He then shivered despite not being able to see the girls glaring at him.

"Didn't you hear him?" asked Album. "He can't decide between the two of them. So therefore, we need to do it for him." As she said this, she put a finger in the air, as if she were explaining something like a genius.

"I repeat, dibs."

"You know what, I give up," sighed Blake with a defeated tone. "If this how you're going to act, then I'm going to try and get him for myself!" With that, she ran off in the direction Vio had gone.

"Oh no you don't!" Yang quickly ran off after her partner.

As soon as the two left, Album's Scroll went off. "Hello?" she asked as she answered the call.

"ALBUM!" yelled Vio on the other end. "Where the hell are you and Leaf? Goodwitch won't let us hand in the other half of our jars until you two are here!"

"On our way, Vio," she told him with a roll of her eyes. "We'll be there in a few."

"Well hurry," he muttered before hanging up.

As the two walked along, Leaf thought of something. "Hey, should we tell Vio that Yang and Blake are actually going to be competing for him as a boyfriend?"

"Nope," she replied. "I just want to watch the chaos from those two fighting unfold."

Leaf nodded at the white-haired girl's reasoning, and figured Nudar would support her in it. He then turned towards her again. "Wait, isn't polygamy legal in Vale?"

She shrugged. "It's actually legal in all of the kingdoms, even Atlas, and they're the most intolerant of the four kingdoms. It's kinda like homosexuality; it's legal, but some people just aren't fans of it."

He raised an eyebrow. "Are we going to tell the girls they can both date Vio?"

"Nope." She grinned despite his lack of sight. "Again, I want to see the chaos unfold as a result."

"So, we're not going to do anything about Vio's love life?"

"Not a thing. We've done plenty for it. Now shut up, we're here."

Sure enough, the two had arrived at the rendezvous point. Vio looked like he was about to call someone, Jaune looked shaken up, and a sap-covered Cardin was ignoring his team. Interestingly enough, Pyrrha, Ruby, and Weiss were fussing over Jaune, and Yang and Blake seemed intent to stay close to Vio. Vio noticed the two arriving and marched over to them. "Finally! Cardin and Jaune were attacked by Grimm, and Goodwitch started panicking when Blake and Yang ran in and said you should be right behind them."

"Sorry we didn't know," snapped Album.

"We had some stuff to take care of," added Leaf.

Vio looked at them weirdly. "You two aren't an item now, are you?"

"No!" they replied, with Album replying quickly with a look of horror at that kind of suggestion and Leaf after a moment with a look of confusion.

"Just asking-"

"Well don't ask," snapped Album.

Goodwitch walked over to them. "Alright, you two are here, so everyone is accounted for. Since everyone was able to complete the assignment, we'll be heading out now." She turned to the others. "The other teams are already onboard the Bulldog. Everyone else on so we can leave!"

Author's Note: So yeah, sorry this took so long to post. I've been busy with my senior year, and don't always have the time to write. That shouldn't be as much of a problem anymore though since Senior Project is done and over with. Additionally, this was the start of the "awkward love polygon" mentioned in the summary. Reviews are appreciated, and the bit with Grifball is in the near future, so you've got that to look forward to. So, until next time!
