Chapter One: Yang Xiao Long I

Okay, so admittedly and despite me being evil and cruel, I might have gone a bit too far.

And when I mean a bit too far, I meant causing an 'accidental fire' to my neighbors' house. Specifically, the Xiao Long house. Yeah… Maybe I should start from the beginning… I had been an orphan in my old life and perhaps that had been the reason for my cruelty and lack of care for others' wellbeing but I had never really cared. I always had a negative outlook on life and I believe even if I hadn't been an orphan, I would have still been a cruel bastard. I've seen what the world does to 'good people'. And personally, I just don't have it in me to be 'good'.

That's why when I died and was reborn in the modern AU of RWBY, WITHOUT Grimm, I knew I would have so much fun. A lot of drama, romance, and a bit of horror... Okay, lots and lots of horror. But again… Maybe I might have gone a bit too far…

When I woke up, I had the memories of the meatbag I've taken over. His name? Hansel Grimm. Not kidding. But not bad, not bad at all. I was seventeen-years-old with shoulder length black hair and red eyes and, surprisingly, fit. The only downside was that I knew I looked evil so I would have to play the innocent, good friend up to 100… Ugh. And then there was another issue… I had a sister…

Her name? Guess. I'll wait.

…

Yup, Gretel Grimm.

She was a short, fifteen-year-old girl with shoulder length black hair and red eyes too. Going off my memories, she was the bubbly friendly sibling while I was the serious, quiet, and scary sibling. But everyone knew I cared about her. Especially after the death of our parents to White Fang, a Faunus gang in our kingdom growing in size.

Yup, Fanus and the White Fang still existed. Neato burrito.

Since then, we have lived alone in our home in the neighborhood of Patch which was mostly woodlands and further away from the city of Vale and our high school Beacon Academy. Our neighbors and long time family friends had been the Xiao Long family. But that family was very different from the show. Ruby Rose still lived there but was actually Taiyang's niece, not daughter, and Yang's cousin, not sister. Her former uncle and now father, Crow Branwen, was a local drunk who abandoned her, apparently, well before her mother Summer died.

That tidbit had been what inspired my actions tonight.

Because after Gretel had invited Ruby, her best friend over, and by default, Yang, my best friend, I realized a few things right away. Well, I had already but their visit added a bit more clarity. Because they looked real. Like actually REAL. This wasn't some cartoon world. This was a real world with real people in it. And seeing Yang in person?

Let's just say I avoided standing up as much as possible.

However, recalling our friendship brought my social standing into mind. And that's when my mood darkened. For the past three years of high school, I had been an outcast. I had only associated with my little sister Gretel and our friends Ruby and Yang. To everyone else, I was a quiet loser.

And I was not happy. Not one bit.

Being an orphan from my old world was tough. But despite that, I excelled in school. I fucking thrived in it. No one cared if I had been an orphan, I was outgoing and friendly, on the surface, enough that they never cared. I had been at the top of the food chain. But now? I was at the bottom.

And that would not do. Not one bit.

And Yang had been the first part of my plan. She was a good friend, really, but going through my memories, I realized our friendship wasn't as great as I thought. Hansel had been an idiot. A complete moron. Yang had tried to help break him out of his shell by getting him to meet more people but he had refused and came off as standoff-ish. Then there was the obvious fact Yang had a crush on him earlier when they started high school but her attempts to get him to notice her failed. So now she had settled with their weak 'friendship'.

Well, it's a good thing that I wasn't him.

So I burned her house down-caused an 'accidental' fire and killed her father and Ruby's guardian.

Extreme? Absolutely. I won't even pretend it wasn't. After all, this is just to increase my social standing. And get laid. But I knew Yang, and by extension Ruby, losing ANOTHER loved one would be devastating. So devastating, it would make the rest of my plan easier. One of the easiest ways to manipulate anyone and get them to do what you want was to make them entirely dependable on you. Could I have taken the longer way of getting what I want?

Yeah. But I didn't want to.

After the police had talked to a devastated Yang and Ruby, and tried and failed to reach Crow, due to me timing all of this when I knew he would be drunk at the bar he owned called Crow Bar, I had offered the two of them to stay with Gretel and I. Watching Yang nod mutley and Ruby not even acknowledge what I said made me internally smirk. I had taken what little things they had left and helped them to the broken down car I owned. Yang's own motorcycle was still in working condition due to not being in the garage but she had left it behind. I had decided I would need to get a new car for appearances. Thankfully, I had planned to go into business very soon… But for now, I could only afford to keep our house because Hansel worked at a clothing store in the city, apparently owned by the Adel's family.

Huh.

Which brings us back to now. Gretel, Yang, Ruby, and I sat at the dinner table in silence. I sat beside Yang while my sister tried to get Ruby to eat. I almost felt bad. Almost. But looking at Yang, even in her state, made those thoughts go away very quickly.

"Gretel, I don't think Ruby's hungry. Why don't you help Ruby to bed?"

Gretel swallowed thickly and nodded with tears in her own eyes. She always listened to me even though we were only two years apart. After our parents' death, she had taken it as hard and Hansel had actually stepped up to taking care of her. One of the few good things he had done.

I watched as my sister helped the teary silver eyed redhead up and guided her to her bedroom upstairs. I sat quietly beside Yang and continued to rub circles on her back. Her violet eyes were completely red, which made me wonder if they still turned red when she was angry, and she was desperately trying not to break down. After a few minutes of hearing movement upstairs and then silence, I pulled Yang into me for a tight hug.

Surprisingly, she gripped onto the back of my black long sleeve shirt and sobbed hard. I stopped rubbing her back and just held her. Slowly, a smile formed onto my face but I removed it when she quietly moved away from me a bit. Our arms were still holding onto each other. Gently, I spoke.

"Yang…"

"I-I don't… Why… How…"

"Breathe."

"H-He left us… H-he promised us he would never l-leave us b-but h-he did…"

I pulled her to me and she sobbed quietly into my shoulder. Ugh. Maybe I shouldn't have killed him. That had been dumb. I decided I wouldn't do something as dumb as that again. Too much risk. And I knew for a fact it would seem like an accident until they examined Tai's body. I had snuck in when I knew Yang and Ruby would be out in the city and Tai would be alone. I knocked him unconscious with a baseball bat and then started the fire. It was only a matter of time before the police realized it was a murder. Thankfully, I knew how to handle that.

That's when I left my thoughts when I heard Yang whisper something into my shoulder. Gently, I moved her off of me to look into her tear filled eyes.

"I'm sorry?"

"P-Please… Please don't leave m-me… or R-Ruby… O-our parents… Oh G-god… W-what if they separate us?! Ruby… She'd…"

Her eyes were filled with panic and I could feel the desperation off of her. Hmm. That was strange… I actually did feel something… I ignored it to speak to the broken blonde bombshell in front of me.

"I will never leave you. Or Ruby."

"B-but-"

"No. What happened to your father was an accident. No one could have seen it coming. But I swear to you, Yang, I will never leave you. I will never abandon you. Not you. Not Ruby. Not ever. You two will stay here."

I could see the surprise in her eyes and her shocked expression nearly made me chuckle. But I stopped myself. I had to play the good friend helping her anyway I could. I didn't want her to answer the red eye question right now either… Especially to my face.

"Hansel, you can't-"

"Actually, I can. Look, I've been taking care of Gretel alone now for two years now anyway. You know how our laws are anyway. No one would care if the four of us lived here alone. Well, not alone because we would have each-"

I stopped when Yang hugged me tightly. I could feel her muscles and tried to control myself. Did I forget to mention Yang was fit? Fuck, looking at this girl any further without a cold shower would be the death of me.

"You're such a dork…" She choked out a chuckle through her crying. "You were always a good friend to me, Hansel… I-I don't deserve-"

"Don't even finish that sentence." I held her even tighter. "I foolishly kept to myself even when you tried to help me. When we started high school. After my parents death. You tried to help me. While looking out for both my sister and your cousin. You still looked out for me. I never deserved you. I know tonight isn't a good time to finally say this… But I love you, Yang." She backed away and her eyes widened and her mouth hung open while we still held each other. Time to win that Oscar. I turned my head away to make it more believable. "I should have told you that a while ago… I've been struggling to figure out when to tell you. And I need to tell you that now. Because you are amazing to me, Yang Xiao Long."

Silence. 3. 2. 1…

I felt her hug me once again for what felt like the tenth time tonight. I felt her grip the back of my shirt to make sure that I was still here and real. And I heard the four whispered words that made my extreme plan worth it and more.

"I love you too…"

(RWBYESI)

I led Yang to my bedroom upstairs quietly so that Gretel and Ruby who I assumed were asleep wouldn't wake up. After our 'heartfelt moment' I decided we should sleep as it had been a long night and it was already past three in the morning. Yang had wanted to take the couch when I told her she could take my bed but I refused. Until she shyly suggested we share my bed. Despite her blush and embarrassment, I smiled gently and agreed. My excuse being 'I didn't really want her to be alone'. A flash of surprise, a kiss on the cheek, and a small smile from her told me that had been the right thing to say.

After we entered my room, I gave her some pajamas to wear and told her we would shop for some clothes for her and Ruby tomorrow as it was a Friday night so we wouldn't have to worry about school until Monday. Yang went to the bathroom with one of my white t-shirts hanging off one shoulder and black pajama pants. I had changed too and sat on my bed, pretending to be awkward. Yang stepped out and saw me, then turned her head with a blush, before sitting beside me.

Going through my memories, I realized this is the first time Yang was being completely vulnerable around me. She was usually the bold one, making bad puns, and generally trying to lighten up everyone's mood. Now, she was broken, lost, and I was her only lifeline. Ruby was even worse off but I had a plan for her. Earlier though, I had whispered to Gretel to keep a close eye on her and make sure she didn't hurt herself. I knew they were likely sharing a bed too as they always did.

Regardless, I gave a fake sigh and a small smile.

"Look Yang, we're just sharing a bed. I wouldn't do anything to hurt you."

She returned my small smile. Good.

"I-I know… C-can you hold me though?"

My smile grew slightly.

"Of course."

Slowly, we laid in bed together and I became the big spoon to Yang's little spoon. I wrapped my arms around her waist and held her close. Apparently, she had the same idea as she pushed herself as close as possible to me. Thankfully, I hid 'little me' between my legs because I was pretty sure the feeling of her ass was slowly making me forget the idea of sleep. And the thought of her d-sized breast was not helping. After, a few seconds of silence followed until…

"Hansel…?"

"Yeah, Yang?"

"Thank you…"

"You don't-"

"Don't even finish that sentence." Even in the dark, I can sense the smile in her voice and chuckle. "You offered to give us a home… And not leave us… m-me… Hansel…"

"Yeah?"

"C-can I kiss you?"

I feel Yang turn over in the dark. Even though my room was almost completely dark, I could make out Yang's face in the cracked moonlight. I felt myself get harder just looking at her. But inside I smiled and leaned in. And she did too. I felt her lips touch mine. They were so soft. After a second, we broke apart and I could see her smile in the darkness.

"I wanted to do that for so long…"

"Why didn't you?"

I smirked and she stuck her tongue at me. We both laughed. After, we stopped and just stared at each other.

3. 2-

She kissed me again. This time, much harder. I returned it and felt her moving. I felt her straddle me and we both sat up with my hands on her waist and her arms around my neck. I could feel my hardness against her. We kissed each other harder. I felt her bite my lip.

Yup, she was going to kill me. Though, that would be fair.

After a second, we stopped and I felt her staring into my eyes. Searching. Oh fuck. After a second, she looked down. Did she know…? No. There's no way she could know-

"I-I'm sorry…"

My mind almost went blank.

"Don't be. You don't have to force yourself to do this because you feel like you owe me. Even if you hadn't said it back or wanted to stop now, I would still love you."

I gave a small smile as I saw tears in her eyes. She turned her head and in the moonlight, I could see her thinking to herself. After a second of thinking, she seemed to make a decision and nodded to herself. She turned back to me and kissed me hard again. Between small breaks, she spoke.

"I-i… Need… This… P-please, Hansel… Please, love me…"

I gave my answer by kissing her harder and slipping my hands down her pajama pants to feel her pantie clad ass. She responded to that by grinding on me. We both began to pant and I stopped the kiss to suck on her neck then her bare shoulder while I turned us over with me on top and her on her back.

"F-fuck, Hansel… Wait…"

I heard her moan and watched as she raised herself slightly and took off her pajama pants and I did the same. Slowly and awkwardly, she took off my white t-shirt that had hung off one shoulder, leaving her only with purple panties as she never slept with a bra. Meanwhile, I had taken off my t-shirt and pajama pants, leaving me in my boxers. I looked over her body and back to her nervous face. Well, I forced myself to look away from her breasts to her face.

Unfortunately, I had to keep playing the part of a sensitive good friend. For now.

"You look beautiful, Yang…"

She smiled with tears in her eyes.

"You're such a dork…"

I smiled and kissed her as passionately as I could. I knew I had her. But not completely. I pulled away.

"Are you sure about this?"

A second.

"Yes…"

I reached for my dresser to get a condom but surprisingly, Yang stopped me.

"I-i'm safe… I-i want to feel you too… Just be gentle… I-i'm a virgin…"

I cupped her face and kissed her gently.

Oh Yang, you are far too good to me.

"It's okay. So am I." I wasn't. "We'll take it slow."

She nodded and slowly lowered her panties while I did the same with my boxers. I looked back between her legs to see her trimmed blonde hair above her pussy then to her red nervous face. I then noticed she was looking at me. Well, no longer 'little me'. I smiled and kissed her again. She returned it as I felt her grab my cock and line it up with her opening. Slowly, I pushed myself into her and felt the heat. I watched as her face contorted for a moment before it relaxed. Slowly, I began to thrust into her.

"F-fuck" She moaned.

From there, I picked up and our breathing did too. I placed my right hand around her right breast and squeezed gently, while using my thumb to play with her nipple and my left hand rested on her left shoulder. I kept a study pace and watched Yang move under me in the dark bedroom under the moonlight. As her eyes closed and she moved her hips with mine, I smirked evilly.

Killing Tai hadn't been necessary, I could have still gotten Yang judging by her feelings for me. But this made it easier. I already had plans for Ruby. Tai would have gotten in the way or made things difficult for me. And it would have been difficult to turn the girls against him. They were too close together. And as I fucked Yang into complete bliss, I knew this was nothing. The others wouldn't know what was coming.

Finally, I felt Yang wrap her arms around my neck tighter as I fucked her faster and harder. My bed creaking and the sound of skin slapping echoing through the room. And hopefully, only the room. I didn't need Gretel asking any questions. I would need to deal with her too… But for now, I returned to task and grunted as I shot ropes of cum into the blonde bombshell under me.

Slowly, her tired violet eyes opened and tearfully, looked into mine. Her smile was small. But I knew I had her. Yang Xiao Long was mine. And her next words confirmed it for me.

"I love you, Hansel Grimm."

A/N: So I know not even a week ago, I had updated my stories with the promise of rewrites and another story 'good-when-ready' but I decided to write this as it was in my head for a day or two now. Originally, I wanted to do Harry Potter and the Evil Self-Insert next but that turned out to be difficult. Who knew writing multiple povs would be a bitch? Anyway, I decided to do a modern AU without Grimm because honestly, I already did a RWBY fic and I rather rewrite that with the plot being defeating Salem but I didn't want to tackle that in this story. I realized right away our annoying evil self-insert would just cause Cinder to fail to force Salem to wait longer. I'm still unsure how long this story will be or how it will go but I do want Salem to appear. And warning, I felt I was too soft with my Attack on Titan and Evil Self-Insert story. This new evil self-insert, Hansel Grimm, will be even worse than John Doe.

Oh and the image of the characters that inspired me to write this story were the realistic image of RWBY, JNPR, and the Schnees made by Stewbacca94. That's how I imagine them.

Anyway, until next time.
