Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Wolf and Reaper. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth do.

(Vale, Beacon, Burning the Candle.)

Azul sat on his bed, typing through his scroll, trying to find out what Roman and Burgundy would be up to up to.

"Vermillion, has Quinn said anything yet?"

Azul asked, looking through file after file on his scroll, he was still in his pajamas, a cup of soda beside him as he continued to pick through information.

"Some things… Small things, but some things… I don't know what he knows on the White Fang… You think he used to be part of the White Fang?"

Vermillion asked, Azul had made him the second in command of the team at the moment so he and Azul could coordinate better.

"Maybe, I'll ask him after the dance… For now, that's his business… For now, I'm trying to figure out how to stop Burgundy…."

Azul said as Vermillion frowned for a moment, while he realized that stopping Burgundy and his bosses was important, Azul had forgotten that the dance was coming up soon.

"Azul… Have you asked anyone to the dance?"

Azul heard from Vermillion as he frowned and turned to the Atlesian heir, he cracked his neck and then his fingers, his claws flexed as he looked at him.

"No, I haven't really done much work into it, Verm, I'm still trying to deal with finding Burgundy and stopping whatever he's doing… You said the amount of Dust that they've stolen is enough to supply a small army… And a small army attacking Vale is the last thing we need."

Azul said as Vermillion sighed, Vermillion knew Azul was trying to protect Vale, he was a good huntsman, he would be a good one when he graduated.

But he needed to… Be a teen, he wasn't Weiss, he wanted his friend to have a normal life as well… And why he wasn't as much an expert on Azul as Ruby was, he knew he needed to be doing… Normal things.

Azul blinked, his eyes widened and closed, they looked like robotic eyes unblinking for a few seconds as his eyes closed.

"Ruby…. What? Quinn, don't joke with me, she didn't want to… Are you sure? Are you entirely sure?"

Azul asked, Vermillion looked at him for a few seconds and nodded as there was a knock on the door, Azul walked over to the door and opened it.

Ruby was there, in her pajamas, she was blushing, Azul blushed a few moments before he closed the door behind him to speak in.

"Hi…"

Azul said as Ruby blushed, looking at the ground, she spoke up a moment later.

"Hey…"

Ruby said, shuffling her feet as Azul got to the point, he was still shy…. But he refused to let that show, he was a team leader.

"Um… I heard the dance is coming up… I want to point that out… Um… It's pretty important."

Azul said, he cursed himself, Ruby blushed and smiled, she looked at Azul, his Cererian eyes met hers as he leaned on the wall.

"Uh… Yeah, I would love to, Rubes… Isn't the guy supposed to ask the girl and all that?"

Azul joked as Ruby giggled, it made him blush though, but it brought a smile to his face, he grinned and leaned away from the wall at the moment.

"Yeah, but I thought I'd try this way… Yang said it would surprise you…"

Ruby said as Azul rolled his eyes and cracked his knuckles as he stepped closer to Ruby.

"Well, Yang will be Yang, it did Rubes, I want to say it did… But yes, I would… I'm just suspired, dances aren't really your thing… It's more of a fighting and weapons thing with you…"

Azul said as Ruby slugged him in the shoulder, Azul chuckled and turned to her before she blushed.

"Uh, I'll… Send me a message when you want to go to the dance, ok? I want to make sure I'm on time and all that…"

Azul said as Ruby nodded and turned on her heel.

"Yeah, I'll do that… But for now, we should get back to stopping the bad guys…"

Ruby said before she stepped into her dorm, Azul heard voices and chuckled, he turned back to the door.

"Well… Rubes… That was… Something…"

Azul muttered, unsure what to say at the moment, he turned and opened the door to his dorm, Quinn and Jason would be back in a couple of hours, they were getting coffee and asking around the time for information, he chuckled.

"Rubes and me at the dance… Wait, why am I thinking about this…?"

Azul asked, he blushed and blinked, he shook the thoughts out of his head, he needed to get back to the information gathering he had.

Still, part of him was…. Happy, and strangely, he wasn't bothered by it, not a single bit.

He stepped into his dorm and laughed.

Author Notes

Phew, another chapter done! Yes, this chapter is going to be shorter then I wanted, the dance will be a 2000- word chapter… As for Ruby and Azul's romance will be explored when they go on a date at the dance… Next chapter might be next week or the week after that due to my computer issues right now... Until next chapter, Lighting Wolf out!
