Chapter 33

Chrome

A few days passed since we boarded the boat for Haven. Walking out onto the deck, I spotted Ilia overlooking the ocean. "Hey." I walked over and joined her, watching the moonlight shine off the ocean. "Can't sleep?"

"No, just...wanted to watch the waves." she replied. "They're relaxing."

"Yeah." I smiled. "On our way to Menagerie, I spent most of my time watching the waves as well."

I could see Ilia smile out of the corner of my eye before her expression suddenly turned pained. "Hey." I gently placed my hand on her shoulder. "What's wrong?"

She took a deep breath. "It's just..." she sighed. "Chrome, there's never an easy way to say this, so I'm just gonna say it. I have...feelings for you. Ever since we started talking during missions for the White Fang, I realized how much of a good person you are. You proved it again back in Menagerie. You said you'd kill me, but even when you had the upper hand, you still tried to get me to leave the path I was following. You gave me a second chance." she took another breath. "When I found out you were in Menagerie, I felt like we could pick up where we left off, but then Maya and Nicci showed me that picture of you and that girl and I...saw red. I felt it was unfair. I tried so hard to get you to notice how I felt... But...I realized that I should be happy because you're happy." a single tear rolled down her cheek.

"Ilia." I took a deep breath. "I'm going to be honest with you. These past few months, I came to realize, I may never see Yang, or Ruby, or even Weiss ever again. All I have right now, is my family...and you." mine and Ilia's eyes met. "Before I left the White Fang, I did feel something for you." I looked back out over the ocean. "I forced myself to forget about those feelings because I felt I needed to cut all ties to the White Fang. But after seeing you, and our talk in the alleyway after our little rooftop chase, I felt those feelings spark again. I may never see Yang again, and I've come to terms with that." I let out a slow breath. "What I'm saying is, if you're willing, I'd like to start things slow."

Ilia smiled. "I'd like that." she gently placed her hand over mine.

"Hey!" Blake shouted to us, getting our attention. "We're here."

End of chapter 33

(Sorry for the short chapter, but I didn't want to take all day with this since today is a very, very special day.

Today marks the 16th anniversary for RoosterTeeth!

"Is this an April fools joke?" you may ask?

Absolutely not! If you don't believe me, look it up. (Okay, this is sounding more and more like an April fools joke, even to me)

Anyways!

Some of you may have wondered, "Unknown, why did you make it so Yang and Chrome got together instead of the possible Blake and Yang ship?" and "Unknown, why did you make it so Ilia had a crush on Chrome instead of Blake?"

I have a very simple answer to both of those questions, my good friends.

In the show, Blake has a plethora of people chasing after her. Ilia, Sun, Yang, and Adam. Do you see this clusterfuck here? This went from a simple love triangle, to a love rectangle, to a fucking love pentagon. And I don't like that.

So, I've turned it into a very simple love triangle for Blake and a, somewhat, complex love triangle for Chrome. (At least now it's complex, seeing what's about to happen *wink*) I don't like making things easy, it isn't entertaining.

Anyway, I've taken up enough of your time as is. Until next time, CIAO!)
