OK HERE IT IS
the rewritten chapter of 21
ok you may want a little back story for the last chapter or how I fucked up, well that's simple really that second half with the grimm just felt too forced, to be honest I really I didn't want to think that it was but by god damn after posting and rereading it was damn well forced so I had to changed it and now I did.
so here we are again and this time I really do hope you enjoy this one
Chapter 21 memories have a tendency to pop up
I happily grinned as I watched from a distance as jaune nervously held an equally nervous lavender's hand
Sigh this is the life
"grrrrr" I heard as I looked to my left and snorted at the glaring pyrrha
"oh calm your tits pyrrha its just a date no harm no foul" I said as she turned her glare to me as her green eyes glowed with anger
"shut up" she said as I rolled my eyes as I heard yang and noras snickers at pyrrha reaction
Thats right we were all spying on the lovable dork that was my best friend jaune and my adorably shy half sister lavender on their 'date'
"you know I'm actually impressed jaune could accidentally score himself a date this fast" yang said with a large grin on her face ruby smiled
"well jaune does have a habit to make things difficult for himself" ruby said as I know good example of this would be the initiation with his death defying flight through the air by via deathstalker as well as the whatever the fuck its called on six legs and elgh never mind I think you get the idea
"well hopefully our fearless leader wont screw this up" nora said with a grin as I could see her hatching an interesting plain in that ginger head of hers
"what kinda of plan do you have brewing in that head of yours?" I asked as nora grinned in excitement
"nora no" ren said as he already knew where this was going and so did I
"nora yes" we said in the same time as we both high fived each other
"this is going to get out of hand" Blake said off to the side as she and weiss focused on watching the couple as they made their way to the
"with this family I'm not surprised if we get arrested, reason why I've set my lawyers to speed dial" weiss said casually as Blake nodded as she was impressed the girl was thinking that far ahead
"should we discuss our wills to them afterwards?" Blake asked as weiss smiled
"yes in fact I've already planned a meeting for us to go next Tuesday to meet my lawyers to get it all sorted" weiss said as Blake openly smiled as she was happy her only sane friend was already thinking ahead.
"you two are fucking weird" I stated as we all stared at the black and white duo with wide eyes as the two turned and frowned at us
"we're just worried for the future are we not allowed to?" Blake said as I gave her a blank stare
"blake we're 17 not 37 with kids and if I remembered correctly I'm pretty sure being a hunter is an occupational hazard" I said as bluntly as possible as the two gave a flat glare
"being around you is an occupational hazard" weiss stated in an equally blunt tone and reply
".….ok thats fair" I stated after a brief silence to think that over
"can I also set up my will as well as noras?" ren asked as weiss and Blake openly accepted the Stotic teens request with open arms
"of course I can see you already have a hand fill with nora as partner I don't see why you couldn't get everything sorted" weiss said in a sophisticated manner as I couldn't help but roll my eyes
"hey jaunes moving come on" nora exclaimed as we completely refocused on the main objective and quickly moved as a group and jumped to the next building as we pursued the couple
What did you think we were on street level?
Are you insane? Lavender would have picked us up under the street noise so I opted for all of to take the roofs and as you could ready tell some of us were very against this notion
"this is completely illegal, I mean were trespassing on private property!" pyrrha yelled in a hushed tone as we all leaped across a particular large roof gap as weiss used her glifs to make a quick stepping stone for herself, nora, yang and pyrrha while the rest of us jumped over it easily enough
"oh shut up you don't see weiss complaining about the damn laws!" I yelled back as I was in front of the pack
"thats because I'm too busy trying to keep up!" weiss yelled in the back as she ran nest to nora and yang
"then you shouldnt be running in high heels, but you know what they say about girls who run in high heels!" yang retorted for me as I taught her well
"no I don't but please enlighten me miss I know everything!?" weiss replied as I could hear yang grin
"only a hoe can really run in high heels with no problems!" yang said as I heard a gasp from my right as I knew that was Blake, ooooh boy here we go
"are you insinuating that I'm a prostitute!?" Blake yelled over shoulder angrily
"depends how much is it to take that fine bellabooty out for a test ride!?" yang yelled as I couldn't help but laugh out loud
"that is not funny!" Blake yelled as yang, nora and ruby laughed, well ruby giggled more than laughed as she was right next to me
"says the girl with an ass that can stop hormone challenged rhino faunas!" yang yelled as I blinked in confusion huh?
"yang you promised you wouldnt talk about that!" Blake yelled as I looked over my shoulder in shock
"wait when the fuck did this happen!?" I yelled in confusion
"nothing happened just some idiot doing something stupid thats it lets drop it and move on to the next thing" Blake said as I shook my head
"oh nononnonono you don't drop this" I said with a large grin on my face as I stopped running in the middle of a roof top as ruby stopped right next to me as I looked at her as she had a large teasing smile on her face.
"details now!" ruby exclaimed as she landed after us as her face was so red you put her next to ruby's cloak and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference
"nothing happened thats it!" Blake yelled as everyone else landed behind us as I looked over to yang as her grin said otherwise
"i don't think so, you know that guy in the 3rd year named Cole?" yang asked as I nodded
"yeah I know him I see him in the gym, dude is stacked" I said as it was true Cole stood about 6'3 about my height had short short ash coal hair and had muscles on muscle as well gray tough skin cause you know hes a faunas and all.
That and I heard his semblance literally turns his skin into iron and is basically as hard as diamonds, soooo yeah no one fucks with him
"yang no" Blake said seriously as pleaded with her partner but yang did not give a fuck
"well it was one day when me and Blake were going into the gym you know for partner training" yang said as weiss nodded
"yes I remember partner day spent our day productively studying about the different tactics of previous teams with ruby" weiss said with a smile
"i fell asleep about a quarter way through and weiss didn't notice until an hour later" ruby said as I snorted and weiss looked annoyed
"wasnt that the day I was hanging out with jaune in courtyard?" I wondered as I remembered the both of us just casually relaxing along doing nothing but talking about comics or well jaune was, I was in the middle of trying to figure out this stupid dust ratio for my special ammo, gravity dust with lightning and fire, basically I was trying to make a lightning dragon mode into the form of a bullet.
I still havent figured that out yet
"anyway we walked in usual gym clothes and all" yang said which was spats, sports bra and sneakers
"and well we saw it was practically empty which is always good so we decided to do some warm ups and stretch's" yangs smiled then turned into an evil grin as Blake looked ready to dye with the blush on her face.
"what we didn't see was that we werent alone well I did Blake on the other hand didn't" yang said as I could see where this was going
"so I watched as Blake started doing squats as Cole froze mid curl up and stared directly at Blake ass and it took Blake about an hour to finally notice Cole staring at her and he was blushing like a school girl" yang said as I blinked in shock before I lost it
Now you may be thinking thats it? Thats all that happened?
Well heres some back story on Cole, rumor has it the guy is asexual
He shows no traits for liking any gender at all, even the more hotter girls in beacon have tried to get his rocks off and have failed with his blank Stotic expression and tone, and usually made my day to watch as the girl all walked off with sad expression at their failure to bag the the faunas
"ahahahaha and I never thought the fucker was an ass man ahahahaha!" I yelled as I felt myself drop to the ground as I rolled around in hysterics
"its not funny!" Blake yelled in embarrassment as in the corner of my eye yangs expression turned even more evil
"oh it gets better, on the way to the showers Cole tripped on some weights and fell onto Blake taking her down as well and guess where he landed?" yang asked as I could see Blake's head was fuming with literal steam
"huff puff huff where puff?" I asked with a breathless manner
"blake fell heads down ass up with Cole's head slamming on the sweet soft ass cheeks of the bellabooty" yang said with a grin as I began to lose it
THIS IS FUCKING PRICELESS!
Looking around while breathlessly laughing I saw ruby was giggling, weiss and pyrrha were blushing up a storm, nora was on the ground with me laughing along and re3n just stood there with his head cradled in his hand in the form of a face palm while yang was laughing.
And finally Blake well she looked like she was ready to drop down in a hole and die in it
Oh god this was priceless FUCKING PRICELESS I TELL YOU!
"im going to kill you yang" was all Blake said in hushed tone that I and yang was only able to hear
"well good luck in that cause like my cousin we are the hardest people to kill in our generation" yang said which was a baseless claim but I couldn't say we werent anywhere near unkillable thats for sure, it was just going to take a shit more than it looks to kill us.
"sigh c-can we get back to what were doing" pyrrha asked as I slowly took long deep breaths in and out calming myself down
"and that was what again?" I asked as I actually forgot mid-way through yangs story
"yeah what are you guys doing?" I heard a voice pick up as we all turned and paused as we saw jaune leaning himself against the roof with unimpressed look on his face while lavender stood next to him as I took a guess and say they are on the fire escape
"uuuuuuuh" ruby said as she took the words out of my mouth on this one
20 minutes later we all stood outside the cinemas as we explained everything to lavender and I'll admit she took this better than I thought would
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME, THIS DATE WAS AN ACCIDENT!?" lavender shouted at jaune as he looked scared
Hey at least she isnt going completely fucking insane on us like jade and going around shooting up the school like every mentally damaged teen or adult ever
(no joke if you have thoughts of shooting up a school please refer to your closest hospital for help or any friends you think can help you, this is a serious thing that I have joked about but please note this was intended as I just said, a joke so don't take said joke out of proportion like every PC prick online, thank you and lets get back to the story)
"and you guys didn't think to tell me!"?" lavender yelled at us as I held my hands up
"in my defense I didn't know jaune asked you out by accident until I saw you in those clothes, which by the way where did you get?" I asked as lavender instnalty blushed
"i don't want to talk about it" she instantly said shutting herself in as I I backed off that one
"thats alright I was just going to say it looks nice" I said as I heard yang scoff right next to me
"nice? Cus thats all your going to say?" yang asked me in disbelief as I looked at her straight in the eye
"if I say anything more I'd be labeling myself as a creep yang" I stated blandly which was true I mean if lavender wasn't my sis-nooooooo I'm going to stop there I don't want to be the next donald trump and try to make remnant great again, jem's doing enough of that already
(shout out to JC of the corn and his fic 'out of place' by the way fucking love that fic, always makes me laugh)
"true but damn lav you look hot" yang said with a grin as lavenders face went red as she looked down shyly
"r-really?" she asked shly as yang walked over and slung her arm around lavenders shoulders
"girl you could probably knock a man out but jsut smiling at them or better yet turn to mush" yang said as she pointed a grin towards jaune as his eyes widened in recognition of the joke.
"u-um w-well I-" jaune stated to stumble on his word as his cheeks turned red and I could just hear pyrrha's teeth grind against each other
Hehehehehe this is getting fun
"alright alright lets all calm it down, we're here to watch a movie so lets just watch it" weiss said as she quickly defused the situation
"yeah shes right so lets go watch the man with the giant hook!" nora exclaimed as I stared at her in confusion
"theres a movie with a giant hook?" I asked in confusion as nora giggled
"well yeah duuuuuh I mean the posters over there see" nora said pointing to said poster as I quickly walked over in confusion but stopped my eyes widened at the poster/title of the movie as there was a large dark tanned man wiht a giant bone hook on his shoulder and younger tanned girl in front of him
"m-moana?" I said in confusion, b-but how no t-that shouldnt be here, no this shouldnt be here!
"hamish you alright there?" I heard ruby ask but I ignored her as I had a flashback
Moana, my nieces favourite movie, my nephew annoying his younger sister, the oldest nephew stopping his brother from annoying his sister, the mother frowning and the husband rolling his eyes at the kids, my brother
Oh my god
"hamish are you alright your crying" I heard ruby said as I placed my hand on my cheek and yeah I was crying, oh my god I'm fucking crying!
"imma-I've got to-"
"hamish whoa take it easy" I heard yang said as she grabbed my shoulder as I slowly started to realize I was starting to hyperventilate
"oi Hamish look at me, damn it hey hey hey!" yang said as she turned my head towards her slightly worried face
"breath Hamish breath" I heard as I just-I just c-couldn't even-
*SLAP!*
Feeling pain suddenly fly right through my cheek I blinked as I stared at the worried silver eyes of ruby stern face
"wake up dick head, your not in signal, remember?" she said as my mind went blank and I slowly looked up and remembered I-I wasn't in signal, hold on what the fuck does that mean?
"what the hell are you on about?" I asked ruby as she sighed in what sounded like relief as I gave her a confused look
"good hes back to normal" ruby said as I looked to yang for an answer as she shrugged in a nonchalant manner
"well how about we go in and get the popcorn then" yang said as she walked over and wrapped her arm around my neck as she dragged me away before I could protest
What just happened?
3rd pov
As yang dragged Hamish off ruby let out a breath she appeared to be hold in as she turned to everyone who watched in even more confusion than Hamish's
"ruby, what was that?" weiss asked being the first one to wonder what just happened
"sigh sorry guys I guess its time to come out the closet on this one" ruby said awkwardly as Blake gave her usual blank stares
"really?" she said as ruby blushed a bit
"well um as you know already Hamish isnt right in the head" ruby started as she heard a resounding 'yes' from everyone, nora included.
"even so Hamish has a small identity disorder" ruby said as she was greet with pure silence that went one for a couple minutes until someone finally asked the one question on their minds
"he has a what?" jaune asked as ruby sighed
"it means Hamish at times forgets who he is or apparently thinks hes someone else, one time back in signal someone said something that made Hamish stop and just stare at the table for about 20 minutes before he jumped off out his seat and ran out the doors, 20 minutes later teachers found him in the corner of an abandoned classroom rocking himself as he constantly said that this wasn't real" ruby stated as everyone stared at ruby blankly before jaune piped again
"are you sure about this ruby? I mean Hamish tells me allot about his past but he has never told me about that" jaune said as ruby shook her head
"thats because he never remembers the panic attacks they come as they go, hell you may not know it but there are times where he just stares off into space and suddenly comes back out of it like nothing happened" ruby said as she shook her head at the times he'd done that
"so you mean like those times hes just staring off into space during class hes having another episode?" weiss asked as ruby shook her head
"nah thats him being bored, the only time hes having an episode is if his standing up straight, tears down his eyes, and his tail is straight and tense" ruby informed as jaune frowned as he tried to remember the times is Hamish as ever done that
"so wait Hamish has had these problems while he was in beacon?" lavender asked as ruby shook hear head
"nope he hasn't had an episode in the last 10 months give or take until today that is" ruby said as she rubbed her temples as she didn't like explaining her cousins illness
"so your telling us that at any given time during beacon he could have episodes and we wouldnt have known until then? Why didn't you tell us from the start?" Blake asked as ruby shrugged
"he hadnt had an episode in 10 months and before you even say why doesnt Hamish know, what point would it be to tell him when hes probably never going to remember in the first place, I mean every time we did he has an episode and he forgets, hell we gave up telling him after his 10th episode" ruby explained as everyone frowned at the thought
"so you think this movie trigger an episode?" pyrrha asked out of curiosity as she gestured to said movie
"probably, hell the reason why he listens to music is because its a subconscious vice to keeping him from losing his mind with the episodes, is what the docs said while me and yang think its because he likes music" ruby said with a shrug as everyone looked at the younger teen with blank eyes
"so just for clarification your cousin has more mental problems than lavenders sister right?" weiss stated quite blandly
"hey!" lavender exclaimed as she took offence to that
"sigh lets just all agree Hamish is fine as long as he doesnt have another episode" ren finally stated as everyone looked at him and then slowly agreed
"yes please, can we just keep this on the down low pleeeaaaase?" ruby pleaded with her fellow trainees as they all were agreeing anyway
"yes we will not say anything to him ruby, geez you act as if were going to tell him anyway" Blake said as everyone was nodding
"tell who what?" a voice piped up as everyone turned to see Hamish as he was holding a large bucket of popcorn in hand
"oh um well uh-"
"that jaune and lavender are official!" nora exclaimed as everyone nodded and then realized what she said
'WHAT!?' they all thought collectively as two of them blushed, and one of them looked ready to explode
"huh, well shit that was quick meh good on ya jaune" Hamish exclaimed with a large grin on his face as jaune looked down with a red face as lavender looked ready to faint any second
"t-thanks Hamish I just thought because you know I didn't want the accidental date to well mean that it wasn't going to be real or anything" jaune said as he scratched his head as internally he was mentally berating himself
'what in the oum living fuck am I saying!?'
'oh my oum jaune, I don't know if your being serious or not' lavender thought as she stared at the blonde with a sense of joy in his words
'OUM ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!?' pyrrha's mind roared in pure utter rage
'i have fucking did everything I could for jaune to notice me, I've tired dressing loosely popping out of bathroom in a towel sometime with no towel to get him to glance at me and this girl pops in and just fucking looks adorable and she already has jaunes heart, this is fucking bullshit!' pyrrha mentally roared
"well sweet yangs inside shes got the rest of the popcorn inside ready for everyone" Hamish stated as everyone nodded as they all piled right through the doors everyone but Hamish and pyrrha as he held his hand out placing it on her shoulder
"hey pyrrha you ok there?" Hamish asked as pyrrha quickly threw up his smiling mask
"what of course I am" pyrrha responded as she just wanted everything to burn at this point, jaune especially
"pyrrha you don't have to lie to me you know" Hamish said blankly as pyrrha froze
"w-wha?" pyrrha said as Hamish shrugged
"you heard me pyr, you don't have to put up a mask in front of me" Hamish said as he took a hand fill of popcorn and ate it
"i don't have a mask-"
"pyrrha I'm serious here, you really don't need to lie to me about this" Hamish said with a frown as pyrrha's face finally contorted, mask finally broke pyrrha felt so many emotions fly through her as she wanted to do a million things at once, but found herself only to do on thing
"sniff sniff" Hamish's face turned to one of sympathy as he watched as the girl with the firmest mask he's ever seen finally broke or well more like shattered
"why, just why" pyrrha cried as tears finally rolled down her cheeks
"why did-mph" before pyrrha could finish her sentence Hamish quickly walked over and out of nowhere pulled her into a hug as pyrrha froze
"jaune sees you more as rock that he can rely on to have his back, the reason why he doesnt see you as anymore is because you are his rock, his partner the one person he can trust the most he doesnt want to ruin that by getting into a relationship with his rock" Hamish stated solemnly as pyrrha continued to cry
"it unfair, damn it" pyrrha said as Hamish nodded
"i know it is but hey look on the bright side" Hamish said as pyrrha sniffled and looked at Hamish's smiling face
"what bright side?" pyrrha asked as Hamish held out popcorn
"we can eat as much popcorn as we want tonight" Hamish said with a grin as he held the bucket of popcorn in his hands as pyrrha stared at it and out of character she started to giggle whihc then turned into a full blown laugh
".…ok I didn't even joke and your already laughing your ass off" Hamish mumbled as pyrrha wiped her eyes before giving Hamish a smile
"thanks Hamish" she said as Hamish couldn't help but smile back at her
"hey guys you coming ooooooor oh sorry for intruding" a voice popped up that belonged to ruby as both teens turned to the younger one in surprise as she slowly back her back into the building as the two teens looked down and realized their position was slightly intimate
"oh uh this isnt what it looks like" pyrrha said as he back away from Hamish as ruby nodded
"yep sure, uh see you two inside" ruby said as she quickly dashed back inside leaving the two teens to face palm
"she thinks we were about to-"
"yep she does" Hamish said quickly as he knew his cousin well
"lets just go inside, shall we?" Hamish asked as pyrrha smiled and happily nodded as she felt….better now
"yeah lets" she said as Hamish smiled back at her as they both walked inside
Both not knowing their little moment was captured by someones camera
"this is gold" a man said with a large greedy grin.
Well shit
Chapter 21 end
PLEASE READ THIS AN
ok there done I hope you enjoyed it and I'm sorry for the complication, I really wanted to throw in grimm as reminder that this story had more than one common enemy but hey I know I cant rush certain things
but now this leaves the obvious questions of why did I decided to give my OC a bullshit excuse of a disorder, simple its the same reason why I wanted to change the chapter, cause it fills in certain plot holes and it doesnt feel so rushed and the reasoning of why such a disorder was not brought up until now was already explained by ruby
now the question is
will this disorder hinder the character in certain ways?
answer yes
and if yes how?
simple by certain things that trigger a certain memory of the past, for example in the first chapter 21 the fucked up one my OC experiences a flash back of remembrance for his niece that was pushed onto remembering more of his friends and family.
will episodes pop up from time to time in the near future?
well that's an obvious yes if don't say so myself
and finally
why does your OC remember the episodes or that he has a disorder?
now that was answered already by ruby but there is more to this answer and I'm going to let the story tell you for itself
other than that I believe I hit all the bases except kou and where he is now
which is pretty obvious, hes still sparing with yatsuhashi
now I hope you enjoyed this one and please don't forget to leave a
fave
follow
and review
LATERS!
