Chapter 14: Well, That Was A Thing
Sun
There was a huge fight going on at the fountain. I heard everyone start to whisper about, then there was yelling, and a lot of people started to stampede toward the action. Of course, I went straight toward the action myself. I couldn't just pass up this kind of opportunity. It was this guy and, wait, is that Winter? Whoa, this just got awesome! I look around the crowd and spot white hair. I go straight toward it. I know that it has to be Weiss. There are so few people in this school that have white hair that it's not funny. I make my way to her, having to wade through the excited crowd.
I come up behind her and throw my arm around her shoulder, eliciting an adorable eep out of her. She turns to me and smacks my arm when she sees that it's only me. I beam at her and rub my arm in false pain. "So, what's with your sister?"
Weiss takes a deep breath. "I have no idea. I came out here and see her and this crazy guy fighting."
Rose petals flit around us, announcing Ruby's arrival. "So, what's happening?"
Weiss puts her hands on her hips and scoffs. "Some crazy guy is fighting my sister."
Ruby gasps dramatically and covers her mouth. "Oh no. Who would do such a…" She turns slightly to see the action and squeals. "That's my Uncle Qrow!"
Weiss facepalms. "Why am I not surprised?"
Somebody behind me laughs. I recognize that laugh. "What is it with the Schnees and Rose-Xiao Long family and destroying the main courtyard?" Blake comes up to stand beside me.
Weiss huffs. "That explosion was not my fault!"
I look down at Weiss and then to Blake in confusion. "What explosion."
Blake laughs again. "Your girlfriend, there, waved around a vial of dust with a broken seal, causing Ruby to sneeze and make a crater just over there." She points maybe thirty feet away from us.
I make a silent 'oh' with my mouth and nod, trying not to snicker at Weiss. "So, what's with Ruby's uncle and Winter?"
Yang comes up behind Blake and throws her arm over her shoulder, making Blake smirk at her. "It's definitely something, though. Just look at all that sexual tension! Winter and Uncle Qrow might as well be the definition of 'love hurts.' Huh? Huh?" She looks around as everybody groans at her horrible pun.
I still smile, but I shake my head and turn my attention back to the fight. Someone pushes past me as Winter's blade almost connects to that Qrow guy's throat. The guy is huge! His white hair kind of reminds me of Weiss', and oh no. He has the SDC emblem on his back. That can't be her dad, right? Then, a tiny woman with platnum blonde hair comes up behind the man and walks up to the fighting pair. She stands right in the middle of the fight, facing Winter, and puts her hands on her hips. I know that pose. Oh god, she's like an older Weiss! Those are her parents! I'm dead! Before the panic can really set in, though, shock and amazement take over. That little woman just stopped Winter in her tracks, and by the look on Winter's face, it was done rather easily. That shock that is on Winter's face is really priceless. Apparently, Winter had no idea that her parents were going to show up.
Weiss' mom makes a 'come here' motion with her forefinger. Winter makes her way over to her mother cautiously. The little woman puts her hands back on her hips until Winter gets right in front of her, then she throws her arms around Winter, shocking her. I can't quite pick up what she's whispering, but Winter gets over her initial shock to hug her mother back. When they pull apart, Weiss' dad walks up to Winter with his arms still crossed. Winter looks up at the man and audibly gulps. That Qrow guy walks up from behind Winter and stays a couple of feet back, weapon still drawn. There's palpable tension that hangs in the air as the man speaks softly to Winter. Her eyes slowly soften as she nods her head. I think I definitely missed something important.
I look down at Weiss, who is a bit misty eyed. She knows what's going on. I lean over and whisper in her ear. "What's going on? Aren't those your parents?"
Weiss rolls her eyes at me and, in turn, whispers back at me. "Yes, that's my parents, and they haven't seen Winter in years. I have no idea what they said, but it must have been really good for Winter to smile like that." Weiss nods her head and turns back to her parents and sister, prompting me to do the same.
The whole exchange escalated. It seems that Mr. Schnee saw Qrow, and a bit of a fight was fixing to start. Oh, this might just be good! But, then, Mrs. Schnee had to go and put her hand up. everyone there just froze, and it was kind of creepy. My shoulders sag at not having seen another fight. Why must fate be so cruel? This one could have been epic! "Awe, it looks like there wont be a fight."
Yang just has to pipe in, too. "Oh, your dad is so whipped, Weiss!"
Weiss scoffs. "Have you seen my mother? She can go psycho bitch in three seconds flat."
I raise my eyebrows at that. "Oh, really? So, that's where you get it from?"
Weiss looks at me incredulously. "Hey!"
I wave my hands in front of my chest and back away slowly. "That's not what I meant! Well, it is what I meant, but I didn't mean for it to come out like that?" My sentence comes out more like a question than anything, with my voice getting just a bit higher toward the end.
Yang laughs. "He's got a point, Ice Queen. You do have a serious bitch mode when you wanna."
I pinch the bridge of my nose. "Don't call her that." Next to me, Weiss says, "Don't call me that!" at the same time. I look down at her and laugh. "Oh, this is great." My laugh draws a bit of attention, some unwanted attention on my part.
I hear slight footsteps before a booming voice sounds. "Who dares mock my daughter?"
I jump, eyes wide and look up at Mr. Schnee. I gulp and laugh nervously. "Um, I wasn't."
I see him look me up and down, as realization dawns in his eyes. "You're the Faunus boy."
I rub the back of my neck. "Well, actually, I'm A Faunus boy. I'm pretty sure that there's more than one."
Weiss gasps. "Sun! Do you know who you're talking to?"
Blake just has to chime in. "He's the CEO of the SDC, aka, Weiss' father, Wit Schnee." She says this while leaning forward and pointing at the sky.
I wave a hand in dismissal. "I knew that." Blake facepalms at my unintimidated and relaxed responses to the very big and very powerful man standing in front of me. I just shrug it all off. He's just a man. I don't have to be cowed by him, no matter how big or powerful or rich or scary looking he is. I think I might be talking myself out of the whole unintimidated stance in this conversation.
Mr. Schnee looks down at me and quirks his eyebrow at me. "Let's take this conversation to a more… private location." He starts to walk away, surely expecting me and those around me to follow.
Mrs. Schnee comes up then, followed by Winter and Qrow. "Sorry about him. He's working through some life changing decisions right now." She pats my arm and gives me a smile before walking after her husband.
"Am I supposed to follow?" I whisper to Weiss.
She quirks her eyebrow at me. "Yes." She takes my arm and starts to walk after them. "This is going to be interesting, I believe."
So, we catch up to them with all of Team RWBY on our tails. Well, not on my tail, but right behind us. If they were on my tail, that'd probably hurt. Scratch that, it would definitely hurt. I cringe at the thought of someone stepping on my tail, making Weiss look up at me curiously. "Oh, um, nothing. Just my imagination."
She quirks her eyebrow again and shakes her head. "What are you imagining, your annihilation by the hands of my father?"
I laugh. "Nope. I was imagining the rest of Team RWBY on my tail. That'd hurt!"
She facepalms. "That's ridiculous. WHy are you even thinking about that?"
"Cause I was thinking that they were on our tail, but not literally on my tail, cause that would seriously hurt."
She facepalms again. "As I said, ridiculous."
I snicker. "You know, you could totally get a headache if you keep that up."
"I already have one, and he's right beside me."
"You know, you can be really mean sometimes, Weissy." I pout at her and fake sniffle.
Someone smacks me on the back of my head. I clutch it in pain and look over my shoulder to see Blake roll her eyes and put down her hand. "You guys really need to stop flirting in front of us. It's disgusting."
Ruby makes a gagging motion. "Yeah."
I laugh. "That was not flirting."
Yang waggles her eyebrows. "That was totally flirting. At least, it's Weiss flirting, ain't that right, princess?"
I look down to see Weiss looking away from me with a blush on her cheeks. Oh, so it was flirting. Awesome. I smile smugly. "So what if it? Who are you, the flirt police?"
Out of nowhere, Yang pulls a badge. "Why, yes, my dear friend. I believe I am. Yang Xiao Long, Leading Expert of Flirting at your service."
I look at the badge. "Oh, no way. Where's you even get that!"
Yang rubs her fingers on the front of her jacket. "Oh, I have sources."
"No, I meant, seriously. Where did you just pull that badge from? Was it your boobs?"
Someone smacks me again, but this time, I know that hit. "Why are you looking at her boobs!?" An incredulous and high pitched voice basically screams in my ear.
"I was totally not looking at her boobs."
"Right, so that's why your eyes were at chest level, then?" Yang teased.
I turn to her. "Whose side are you on?"
Yang just shrugs and points at Blake. "Duh, her side."
I wave my hands in the air. "What does she even have to do with this?"
"She's the only one that gets to stare at my gauntlets." She shrugs again before her eyes go wide. "Oh, shit. I am so sorry." She turns to Blake to see that she's already running away. "Blake! I'm sorry!" She turns to us and then starts to go after her partner. "Sorry, guys. Gotta go!"
I watch her leave and then turn to Weiss. "So, does that mean that Blake is gay?" She smacks my head again. "Ow. What was that for?"
"You can be so dense. Come on. We've already lost my parents. We have to hurry if we're going to catch up." She starts to walk at a really incredible speed considering her height and those heels. I sigh and jog to catch up, followed by Ruby, who starts to walk on my other side, opposite of Weiss.
Who would have thought that Blake and Yang were together? Wait, it's more surprising that Yang agreed to keep it a secret. Wow. I never would have guessed she could have kept from bragging about that. Well, actually, she didn't keep it a secret. She accidentally let it slip. Oh god, she's definitely in trouble. It's going to take her forever to catch Blake, and then she has to get her to talk to her. That's super hard. I already know that. I guess she'd be willing to listen to Yang, though. I can hope. Blake was one of my first friends here, so I hope Yang can get her to stop. She deserves happiness.
