Chapter 13: Secrets

I was at work again. Apparently, as I heard, the man who had overdosed on some pain pills tried to commit suicide. I don't really know the whole info on it but the guy is not dead and there was a death note left at his house. Even though I don't know the guy or the reason why he wanted to kill himself, I truly hope he's okay. I know the feeling of wanting to kill yourself. You should never act on it. No matter how much you want to.

Mercury was feeling a little better than before. I know the sight was really shocking. I hope he's okay also. I know I'm doing okay after that. It's not the first time I saw someone like that. Velvet wasn't the first. I've seen a lot of dead bodies on the streets before. It was nothing new. It did scare me but it didn't send me into shock.

The boss was his same hard ass self, of course. I got yelled at for putting the drinks on the wrong shelves. Looks like he's back to being a dick(sigh). Other than that, everything was fine. Though, I still need to talk to Yang about the whole her and Weiss secretly dating thing. I need to hear her side of the story. Luckily for me, her and Mercury switched shifts and now she takes the day shift.

I turned on the TV and turned to the news channel, like I always do. They were talking about a car accident that happened on the highway to Vale. Two people were severely injured and one person died. No customers came to the counter, so I cleaned up the counters and fixed up the liquor bottles.

"Hey Rubes," Yang greeted as she approached the counter.

I stopped working on the bottles and turned my direction to her. She had a cheeky grin on her face.

"You on your break?" I asked.

"Well, duh," she answered. "Why else would I come over to you?" Oh right..."Are you free this weekend?"

"Uh, yea." I raised an eyebrow and stared at her, puzzled.

"Great! The gang and I are going bowling and we were wondering if you'd like to join us."

"I've never bowled before so I'm not good..." I scratched my head.

"Neither have we." She gave me a pouty look and clasped her hands together, pleading me. "C'mon Rubes! Pleeaaaaase!"

I sighed, giving in to her plea. "Fine, fine. I'll come along." Before she could walk away I called after her. "Wait Yang. There's something I need to talk to you about."

She turned around and looked at me curiously. "Something wrong?"

"Well, uh, kinda." I motioned her to the chair. "Have a seat, this may take a while."

She complied and took a seat. "What's this about?" she asked.

"So, um, Weiss told me about you guys and how...you two secretly dated," I answered.

Her eyebrows raised slightly then she frowned. "So you know."

I nodded. "She explained everything to me and I want to hear what you have to say. I know it's none of my business but I just wanted to clarify something, I mean, if you don't mind explaining."

"It's okay. I get it. Friends shouldn't keep secrets, right?"

I froze. Guilt started to rise in my chest as she said that. God, I feel so horrible. If she finds out that I'm homeless, she's going to be very pissed. Right now, she's telling me her secret and I never even told her mine and I never will tell her. I just can't bring myself to tell her the whole truth about everything. I shook my head out of my daze as she began to speak again.

"So, I guess she told you everything, huh?" I nodded. "Well, I'll explain myself. So...the only reason why I asked her out was because well...she was really pretty and all." She scratched her head. "I've never really seen a girl in that way before so I really didn't know what to do. I decided to ask her out so I could see what it was like to date a girl."

That's similar to what Weiss told me. She said the only reason why she said yes to Yang was because she wanted to know what it was like to be with a girl. This is why I'm not into relationships and dating because of problems like that.

"We broke up after we got into this argument. She was upset on how I never called her." She sighed. "She said it was a secret so I was just thinking that I shouldn't call her just in case someone could overhear. So after that, I just left because she wouldn't listen to me."

"Did you know anything about her?" I asked.

She looked at me as if I said something weird then shook her head slightly. "Not really."

"Ah...so you don't know?"

Yang raised an eyebrow. "Know what?"

"Weiss she..." I inhaled some air before speaking the rest. "She never had any friends. She was always lonely. Her being alone caused her to have such a cold attitude so maybe it wasn't the best idea to leave her just like that."

Her eyes were now wide as her anger began to flare. I knew she didn't know what Weiss was going through.

"She never told me this," she said. "I told her everything about myself and yet she doesn't tell me anything ." Her anger died down a little to a hurt expression. "I guess I was too stupid to notice." You and me both. "I was just so surprised that I actually saw girls the way I see boys. Not even once did I try to at least be her friend instead of doing something stupid like I did a while ago. I'm so stupid."

"Did you like her?" I asked, curious to know if she actually did.

"Well yea," she answered, nodding. "I just guess that I didn't know what to do since she was, y'know, a girl."

"You two should talk," I suggested.

To my surprise, she agreed. "I think so too. Hey, you have her email, right?" I nodded. "Why don't you invite her to go bowling with us?"

"That sounds like a good idea. I'll do that."

Before she could say anything else, the boss spoke up. "BREAK'S OVER XIAO LONG! GET BACK TO WORK!" he snapped.

Yang rolled her eyes and got up from her seat. "Well, I'm going back to work now. I'll talk to you after."

I nodded and waved her off, but she called after me.

"Oh and...thanks." And with that, she walked away.

"So I saw this girl the other day and she was smiling at me and stuff and then she started flirting with me and-"

"Sun..."

"Wait Midget, let me finish! And then I got her number and we started chatting and she said that I was handsome and then-"

"Sun..."

"I swear to God Midget, if you don't let me speak, I'll pound you! Where was I, oh right, and then she kissed me and said it'd be nice if we could chat again! You hear this Midget! I'm about to get myself a girlfriend, unlike you who will be forever alone and marry a stuffed animal!"

"Hey that's too far Monkey Boy!"

So Sun and I were hanging out again. This time we just took a trip to the park. I found him walking around in the streets and he just suddenly pulls me along. Right after work too. He didn't even give me the time of day to relax, instead, pulls something like this. I'm so tired and I don't even feel like talking to him. He's doing the most of the talking and I'm just sitting here, listening. He doesn't seem to care though. Right now he's telling me how he picked up this girl without evening trying. Why are so many people into relationships these day? I don't get what all the fuss is about.

"Well, you're always going around and saying, 'oh I hate romance and all that lovey dovey shit' and you never even sit down and give a time and day for it!" he snapped.

"You know what?" I asked. "Fuck you Sun Wukong! Fuck you!"

"Ew Midget that's dirty," he said, smirking.

I shook my head and sighed. "Grow up. Please?" Why am I friends with this guy again?

"This is what I'm talking about. You're just so...so boring, you know Midget? You don't know how to have fun. You'll never be in a relationship if you keep that act up."

I glared at him. "I do too know how to have fun! Besides, I don't want to go through all of that drama, that's why."

"Hmph, you'll see, one day," he mumbled.

I only shook my head. If that day even comes, I thought. I decided not to say it out loud as I know Sun will shoot something back and say something like I need to stop being so pessimistic. Sometimes I hate this guy but other times I like him just as much. I know that even if I don't have anyone left to turn to, he'll still be there. That's why I like him. Maybe Weiss too. I don't know about Nikos.

Deciding to drop that subject I asked, "So what's the lovely lady's name?" I was really curious to know.

"She said her name was Miltiades," he said, sighing in awe. "It has such a nice ring to it."

My eyebrows raised in surprise. I didn't know Milt would give up her crush on the boss. Wait, I'd be more surprise if he said Melanie. But ew, why'd she fall for this idiot? I shook my head and smirked. I shouldn't say that.

"Oh, she works at my job," I told him.

His tail suddenly wagged like a dogs. Isn't this guy supposed to be a monkey faunus? His face turned eager.

"Where do you work? Where do you work?!" he pestered.

He leaned in causing me to push him back. "Don't get so close," I said. He back up but was still eager. "I work at a restaurant called 'Paradisu' down Seventh Street. She takes the late shifts."

Suddenly, I was being pulled into a big, tight hug. God, it feels like I'm being hugged by Yang. I tried to push him off but he didn't let go.

"Sun get the hell off me!" I snapped.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" he cried as he kept kissing my cheek.

"Ew that's fucking gross! Stop that!" I finally pried myself out of his grasp.

"Sorry about tha-" Sun was interrupted by me punching his straight in the gut. He doubled over and fell to the ground, holding his stomach and groaning in pain. Finally, he looked up and glared hard at me. "WHAT THE HELL MIDGET?! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?"

"You know what that was for," I told him, "I'm not going to tell what you did."

He stood up and sat back down on the bench. During my times hanging out with Sun, I found out he wouldn't dare lay a hand on a woman even if they hit him. Sure he's scary when he's angry but he's told me that he's against hitting women. I really shouldn't hit him so much. I know he pisses me off but it isn't right for me to do something like that.

I sighed. "Sorry. I'll make it up to you." My eyes narrowed down to my watch, checking the time. "Let's get some ice cream and then I'll show you that I'm not a mean fuck."

He hugged me again. "Thank you Midget! I love you!"

"Yea, yea, yea," I said, pushing him off. "Now don't do that again."

We both left the park to go get some ice cream.

I came home around eight because Sun decided we should go for a walk. He told me that Yang also invited him bowling and that he'd be happy to see me there. He also said that I needed to buy a phone so he could be able to contact me. I'm thinking about getting one. I know I can hook my email into there and it's easier to contact people. Plus, I still have Blake's number. I don't know why I kept it but I could use it for something.

I took off my uniform and put on some sweatpants and a t-shirt. Tomorrow, I'll take these clothes to the laundry mat. Before I went to bed I heard something. Don't tell me...I straightened myself up and looked around. It was coming from downstairs again. I frowned before grabbing my flashlight and wrench and made my way downstairs.

"Why are you here again?" I asked, suspecting it was Black Cat again. "Are you here for the crystal you left?"

"No," a voice answered.

The tune of the voice sounded like a low growl yet it was still audible. Still, I couldn't see her. She was hiding in the dark, the shadows. I kept shining the flashlight around but I couldn't find her. How the hell does she do that?

"Then what the hell do you want?!" I snapped. "If you're here to kill me, I'd like to see you try!"

There was silence for a moment before she spoke up again, "I'm not here to do that either."

Suddenly, I felt myself because pissed off. Then why the hell is she here?! If she doesn't want the crystal and she doesn't want to kill me, then what does she want.

"If you're not here for any of that, leave," I told her.

"They're after you," she finally said.

I paused. "What?"

"The White Fang, they're after you. After what happened to one of our members, they suspect you."

I knew this would happen but how do they even know me?! Did they gather info on me or something or maybe my switchblade or they could've possibly watched Velvet and I from afar. I'm leaning on the third one because of their strong hate towards humans. Though, why did Black Cat, a member of the White Fang, warn me about this. If she was apart of them, she wouldn't tell me.

"I'm here to make sure that doesn't happen," she told me.

I became puzzled as to why. "Why would you do that?" I asked her. "You're a member of the White Fang. You hate humans."

"Not all of us do," she replied to what seemed to be more to herself than me.

I turned off the flashlight and lowered my guard, knowing that I wouldn't be harmed. I know I shouldn't really trust people I don't know, including someone who's a member of the White Fang, but if she came to warn me, I guess I can show some caution towards this. I mean, she doesn't kill people after all. She only steals. Still, I don't understand why she'd do this. Maybe she cares for humans after all. Well, some.

"Thanks I guess," I said. "Well, bye." I walked back upstairs and went to bed.

I really didn't sleep that much last night, knowing the someone was watching me. For some odd reason, the voice sounded vaguely familiar but I can't put my finger to it. Other than that, I did end up falling asleep. Black Cat was gone when I woke up the next day.
