No matter what world you live in there is one thing that we can all agree on; nothing beats goofing off on the weekend. I had to admit that I was a bit nervous on how the first week of school would go considering that we have knowledge of future events, especially those that involve a certain group of students, however that wasn't the case right now since adjusting to a new life here was the bigger priority at the moment. Over the last few days both Jonathan and I had a few close calls whenever someone asked us about our lives before we came to Beacon and in the end we decided on a few cover stories: as far as everyone else was concerned the both of us grew up here in Vale and our mother was a retired huntress named Elizabeth who taught us how to fight. When it came to our parentage I quickly said that we were half brothers which was true and that both our fathers were human and that our mother was a faunus although Jonathan didn't inherit any of her traits. After getting that whole situation under control we decided it was best to speak with Ozpin about our curse to see if ther was any possible way to get rid of it, unfortunately he only gave us bad news and said that the only possible way was by the relics themselves and that the process was incredibly dangerous if someone wanted to attempt it. We understood that opening the vaults where the relics were hidden wasn't the best idea since they needed to remain closed for the safety of the world but it still seemed like a missed opportunity to make things easier for us, in the end however we decided that until the vaults had to be opened ( or as we told Ozpin "if" they ever had to be opened ) that we would learn to live with it. Anyway right now I was spending some time in the library doing a little studying to understand some of the lessons better as well as learning anything about Remnant that I didn't know from the series. After roughly two hours I decided I had enough studying and felt like I deserved a break so I went through some of the shelves looking for something interesting to read and as I found something in the mystery section the book I tried to grab was suddenly pulled away, when I saw who was responsible I almost froze from embarrassment.

Blake: I didn't expect to see you here during the weekend.

Yep, that's why. As far as I could remember I always had this weird habit of getting a little nervous around the girls I had a crush on that I would sometimes stiffen up and stutter like your average anime protagonist.

Carlos: O-oh hi B-Blake, n-nice to see you. What brings you h-here?

Blake: I just wanted some peace and quiet so I could do a little reading. The dorm wasn't an option since Ruby and Yang are playing games and they can get a little loud when they get competitive.

Carlos: Oh I s-see.

Blake: What about you, what made you want to come to the library?

Carlos: I just wanted to s-study a bit a-and maybe do a l-little r-r-reading.

Blake: Oh I didn't interrupt you did I?

Carlos: No of course not. I-I just finished and I was looking for a g-good book to read.

Blake: Oh I see, if it's not too much trouble may I join you?

Carlos: Huh? Y-You want to j-join m-me?

Blake: Well it's no fun being by yourself, plus I would really like the company... if that's alright with you.

I agreed and we went back to the desk I was using after I found another copy of the book I wanted to read. For the next hour or so we didn't really say much since we're so busy reading that we were lost in our own little world. Even if I was still nervous to be hanging out with Blake alone I was also happy that our common interests brought her here in the first place, even if it was just coincidence. While she was busy with her book I couldn't help but glance at her every couple of pages, she just looked so peaceful and that made me feel warm. The way she smiled never failed to make me do the same, and her eyes had this intelligence and mystery behind them that instantly got my attention when I first saw her. Now I understand that it does seem kind of weird that I had an anime crush, but when you consider the fact that she is literally right next to me and we're here in their world it doesn't seem that bad anymore. This moment was actually going rather well... until I made the mistake of staring too long and Blake caught on.

Blake: Carlos why are staring? Is everything alright?

I was so startled that I accidentally fell backwards like a total idiot. After apologizing for staring we decided to walk around the school for a bit to get some fresh air, however I couldn't stop apologizing since I was really embarrassed and I didn't want her to think I was some kind of weird guy or something. After making our way to the courtyard and sitting on a nearby bench I finally calmed down enough to make the situation less awkward and tried to start up a conversation to bring back some sense of normalcy between us.

Carlos: So... ummmm... Blake, c-can I ask you about your semblance?

Blake: You really want to know?

Carlos: Y-Yeah I do, if you don't mind that is.

I already knew about her abilities and her history but I felt that I had to start somewhere basic if I wanted a chance to get comfortable around her. After letting her explain her semblance to me she asked about mine and I decided to tell her my spider sense was my semblance, truth be told I wasn't 100% sure that my spider sense was my true semblance since I was human back home, but I figured that was easier to explain rather than say that I was human with a spider based semblance, especially when I already told them my mom is a spider faunus.

Blake: You know I was honestly a bit surprised when you told us you were a faunus back then. You didn't have any of the normal features so I assumed you were human.

Carlos: It's fine. I mean it's like you said, without any of the features a faunus would have it would normally be really hard to tell. Still if anything I'm not ashamed of the part of me that's a spider, I'm actually very proud of it.

Blake: You should be, your mother is a faunus as well and the fact that you consider that part of you to be as special as your human half is something truly wonderful.

Carlos: I couldn't agree more. It's just too bad not everyone sees it that way.

After taking the time to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet we headed back to our dorms for a bit before dinner started. When I got back in mine I saw tools and pieces of metal litter the entire room.

Carlos: What the heck is going on?!

Jonathan: Oh good your back, hey can you pass me that blowtorch by your bed?

Carlos: Why do you need a blowtorch?

Jonathan: Because I need it for my newest project.

Carlos: What project?

Jonathan: Nothing special, just a little something I like to call Silver Centurion.

Carlos: No way! You're seriously getting started on that, that's awesome!

Jonathan: Well actually I already got started on it a few days ago, the program for the armor will still take a couple days to finalize and I still need to make some of the more intricate pieces by hand, luckily the school has some tech that I can use to make some of the more difficult parts rather easily.

Carlos: Nice. Can't wait to see it when it's finished.

Jonathan: Thanks, now seriously can you pass me the blowtorch.

Meanwhile with Blake, she just entered her room to find Ruby and Yang playing cards and Weiss finishing up the last of her homework.

Yang: Hey Blake, where were you?

Blake: I was just hanging out with Carlos.

Yang: Oh I see, just hanging out with Carlos huh.

Blake: Yes just hanging out.

Yang: By yourselves?

Blake: Yes. What exactly are you trying to imply?

Yang: Blake it's really obvious that he has a crush on you.

In all honesty Blake was already aware of my crush on her, but she had convinced herself that it wouldn't work out because of her past as a member of the White Fang. She didn't want anyone knowing about her affiliation with them and she didn't know how everyone would handle knowing the truth. Even though she had a small crush on me as well ( mostly thanks to me rescuing her ) she thought it was better not to act on it.

Blake: What makes you so sure that he does?

Yang: Remember after initiation, he said he wouldn't know what to do if he couldn't save you?

Blake: He probably meant that since we were both in danger at the time.

Yang: Maybe he did, but I also noticed you both blushed a bit when he said that and I've noticed him staring at you sometimes.

Blake: T-That's probably just a coincidence.

Weiss: I actually noticed that myself. As much as it seems unlikely I agree with Yang.

Blake: Well even if it was true, why would he have a crush on me anyway?

Ruby: Well the two of you seem to get along really well.

Blake: That's because he's a nice person, he seems like he could get along with almost anyone.

Weiss: True, but I've noticed that he tends to get nervous around you as well. Almost like he can't afford to mess up whenever you're close by.

As Blake thought about it she did notice everything her team mentioned about me. As Yang saw this she came up with a little plan of her own to see what her teammate really thought of their friend.

Yang: You know what? I think we're reading too much into this. Blake's probably right and he doesn't have a crush on her.

Ruby: But you just said that he did.

Yang: True, but people can change their minds really quickly. Besides I don't think Blake would even give him a chance anyway.

Ruby: Why not?

Yang: Well when you really think about it, he just seems so... average don't you think?

Blake: W-Well he might seem a little ordinary, but still that's nothing bad.

So far Yang's plan seemed to be working, now all she had to do was keep pushing Blake's buttons a bit more to hopefully get her to admit how she really felt.

Yang: Yeah I guess you're right. But is he rich?

Blake: What?!

Yang: Come on Blake, even you should know that a guy has to be able to take a girl he likes on a nice date every once in a while. Preferably somewhere expensive.

Blake: What does that have to do with anything?! I don't care if he's rich or not!

Yang: Okay, I'll admit money isn't everything. But what about the fact he's a...

Blake: Yang, if you say that I shouldn't try and go out with him because he's a faunus than you're wrong! I don't care what he is because I like him, ever since we met, ever since he saved me I've liked him alright!

The whole room fell silent. As Blake calmed down she saw Yang smirking at her, Ruby was happy to the point where she may just explode with joy, and Weiss was a bit shocked from her outburst. She was so embarrassed that she felt the need to hide if Yang hadn't enveloped her in a very strong hug.

Yang: That's what I wanted to hear! Congratulations Blake, you do have a crush!

As she struggled to breathe only one thought came to her mind.

Blake: ( What just happened? )
