Prompt - Team RWBY and team JNPR discover a site on their scrolls where they learn about shipping. Each student reacts differently.
Coco sat alone in the cafeteria perusing through her phone. Normally, other students would leave her alone to eat and read. However, that would require the students to be normal. Her new friends were anything but.
"Gooooood morning, Coco!" Yang's voice called to her from halfway across the cafeteria. Coco's glasses fell to her nose as she stared at the girl with an eyebrow raised. The blonde had been quite energetic when Coco mentioned she needed help with the dance. She hadn't realized that asking for help would mean that she would have made 'besties' with a girl she hardly knew.
"Good morning, Yang." She lazily responded, her eyes immediately falling back to her phone.
A tray slammed down on the table in front of her as Yang took her seat. "I hope you don't mind if I sit here! I'm just waiting on everyone else while they get their food."
Coco once again lowered her phone. "Yeah. No problem. I'm just catching up on things before class. Don't mind me." She hoped that her choice of words would get the point across to the girl without being too rude.
"Sounds like a plan! Whatcha reading?" Yang asked without hesitation, taking an audible bite from her sandwich as she did.
Coco glared at the girl, but the effect was lost the second another voice yelled out. "There you are, Yang! You never sit over here! We were looking all over for you and… Coco! Hey! What's up?"
Coco's hand ran to her forehead. "Ruby! Don't interrupt her! She's trying to read!" Yang called back. "Although, she was just about to tell me about what. Come take a seat you guys!"
Coco let out a groan. Her quick glance at Ruby revealed the rest of team RWBY and their friends of team JNPR. All of them made way to her table that she had hoped would remain hers alone. She looked at her phone and the articles on it. There was no way that she would be telling any of them anything.
No sooner had the thought crossed her mind than her phone disappeared from before her eyes. Yang's lilac eyes scanned the screen for all of its details. "This seems like fun! I named my bike Bumblebee!"
Coco's eyes went wide as the blonde clicked on the screen. "Wait! Yang! No!"
Her interruption was too late. Yang froze in place as she saw what was on the screen. Coco could visibly see her face climbing into shades of red that were close to that of her eyes when she was angry. "I…I…Um…" Yang's stuttering caught the attention of everyone else at the table.
"Hey! I wanna see!" Ruby called out. Coco tried her best to reach the phone first, but all she managed to grasp were rose petals. "WhiteRose? Weiss! I am totally stealing this name! It is so much better than IceFlower!"
Weiss looked at her partner confused. "WhiteRose? Let me see that." She snatched the phone and scanned through its contents. Her face joined Yang's in shades of red that seemed to shine especially bright with her fair skin. "Ruby… This is…"
"Awesome!" The girl responded. "It says at the top that we are besties!"
Weiss attempted to point at all the content underneath that title. "Ruby… You missed a few parts…"
The girl shook her head. "Nope! I read all I had to!" She gave her flustered partner a hug. "We're besties! The site says so!"
Blake's ears picked up the conversation and she looked up from her book. WhiteRose? Bumblebee? They didn't find the site… did they? Her eyes met Yang's. The girl was staring at her with wide eyes and her mouth partially hung open. The realization that her site had been found struck, and she dove back into her book to hide from everyone around her.
"Give me my scroll back!" Coco yelled out angrily. The command in her voice brought everyone's full attention back to her.
Ruby sighed and held the device out towards team CFVY's angry leader. "Fine…" Coco just barely heard her mummer something about ruining her fun.
Coco snatched the scroll and looked at a few of the other highlighted sections they had yet to get to. Her eyes went wide when she realized the next one on the list was titled 'Pollination'.
Suddenly, there was a flash of red, and Ruby appeared at her side. The girl's finger clicked randomly on the screen. "I'm sorry! I just wanted to see one more!" She said while her eyes scanned the screen. Coco just barely had time to register what the girl had done. When she saw what article had been clicked, her eyes went wide. "Crosshares." Ruby read aloud in excitement. "It sounded so cool!"
"Heya, everyone!" The all too familiar voice of a rabbit faunus entered the conversation from over Coco's shoulder. "What're you all doing?"
Coco gripped the phone tightly and pulled it into her chest. "Uh… hi Velv… We…err…I was just getting ready to head back to the dorms." Coco did her best to conceal her blush. "Yeah, off to the dorms! Enjoy your lunch everyone!"
Velvet watched as her team leader briskly strode away, breaking into a run the second she was outside the cafeteria, and not removing the phone from her chest until she was almost out of sight. Velvet turned to face the rest of the students who appeared to be confused, bouncing with excitement, and… embarrassed? "Hey guys…" She said drawing out her words. "Does anyone want to fill me in on what just happened?"
Author's Notes
Ahh, the discovery of shipping. A truly ridiculous and confusing time for all.
As you can see, I tried my hand at making another comedy! I think this one came out pretty well, and I feel like I'm really starting to make improvements in that regard!
I have one more entry into the Valentine's day posts, but I'll save that one for tomorrow. For those that have read all my stuff so far, I will tell you that it is different from all the other entries! It even has a ship in it!
Thank you for reading!
