A/N:
Hi friends!
Welcome back to RWBY: The Selection, the romance fic where the puns really have crossed a line. Oh Sun, oh Sun. Sweet baby child honey. Sun, you have made a mistake. XD.
We interrupt lesbianism to bring you: The Bros (TM).
PS: Don't worry, those of you who joined for Jaune and are disappointed with the lack of Jaune. He's got some *quality* adorableness coming up tomorrow, so stay tuned.
Once again, please review with any thoughts/comments/questions/concerns/anything else that strikes your fancy!
Enjoy!
Chapter 51: Sun and Neptune
"Dude, I cannot believe you signed me up for dancing," Neptune complained as he and Sun exited the ballroom. "I told you, I have two left feet,"
"Oh come on, you know you love it," Sun rolled his eyes. "You've been practicing the waltz every night to impress Lady Weiss Schnee," he winked.
"She is speechless around me," Neptune admitted. "Prince Jaune had better watch his back. There's a new lady killer in town," he winked.
Sun rolled his eyes again. Sometimes Neptune was too much… "I danced with Blake today by the way, for the whole time,"
"Nice,"
"Yeah. Can you keep a secret?"
Neptune gave him a look. "Bro,"
"Our theory was right. She is a Faunus,"
"Really?"
"Yeah," Sun grinned. As the only Faunus among the palace guards, he had followed the competition since the beginning and rooted for each and every Faunus. When Neon was sent home last week, he had been devastated. He continued to hope for Velvet's victory, but from the beginning, he had wondered about Blake. She was shy, she was an Eight, and, from a distance, her bow looked like a pair of cat ears. Plus, from what he had seen, she really liked fish.
"That's dope. Did you show her your tail?"
"Nah, man. You know they don't make tuxedo pants with tail holes," Sun pointed out. He hated dressing fancy for these dancing lessons. Sun was a shorts and sandals kind of guy, not a tux kind of guy.
"Fair, fair," Neptune shrugged. "Did you tell her you were a Faunus though?"
"Oh yeah," Sun grinned, "Are you kidding? I can't keep that a secret."
"In a crowd that big?" Neptune's eyes widened. Although most of the guards knew Sun was a Faunus and had minimal issue with it, many Twos (and many members of the royal court) were aggressive towards the Faunus. Neptune cared about Sun. He was all for the positive attention that their skills, abs, and shockingly good looks brought, but he didn't want his friend to be bullied for revealing his Faunus trait to… less than tolerant people.
"Hey, don't worry. I was subtle,"
"Yeah?" Neptune asked. "How'd you say it?"
"I told her I was a banana kind of guy," Sun shrugged.
Neptune stopped abruptly. "Bro."
