The group filed out of the classroom while the bell rang out over the speakers.
"Does anyone know where the cafeteria is?" Blake asked scratching her cat ears. Her deep red blush had subsided.
Weiss walked on the faunus' left. "I have no clue being completely honest."
"Oh i know where it is!" Ruby exclaimed. She literally vibrated with happiness. Her face grew serious. "Onward my noble steed!" Ruby yelled as she jumped into Blake's shoulders. Blake leaned forward with the added weight. Her tail sprung out and wrapped around Weiss' wrist. Weiss jumped in suprise and stared at the furry appendage. Blake regained her balance and shook her head fondly at Ruby and moved whichever way the younger girl gently tugged her ears.
Weiss smiled fondly at Blake. The faunus' tail still hadn't relinquish it's grip. Weiss just let it be, it was rather soft.
Yang sauntered up to Weiss and leaned in, making sure Blake didn't hear her. Neptune and Sun's conversation could drown them out also. "Ya know she's amazing with kids."
Weiss blushed and smiled as Blake pretended to be an airplane. Ruby squealing with delight everytime Blake leaned too far to one side. Yang watched Weiss' expressions with a smile.
"Yeah she is." Weiss replied. She felt the soft tail slowly release it's grip on her wrist. The white haired girl ran her fingertips over the fur as the tail slipped from her grip.
Ruby gently tugged Blake's ears upward causing her steed to stop before two doors. "Here we are!" The brunnette exclaimed happily. Blake chuckled as she grabbed a squirming Ruby and set her down carefully on the tiled floor.
Ruby huffed as she fixed her skirt. Weiss couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. "I want Blake's head between my legs too...wait that came out wrong."
While Weiss was dealing with her slip up. (Or was it?) Blake took it upon herself to hold open one of the two doors for everyone. Yang became the new line leader and everyone followed her to the lunch line. Blake smile faltered when she Weiss standing in one spot looking troubled.
"Weiss?" She called. Weiss continued to ignore the faunus. Blake glanced back into the cafeteria before moving towards the troubled heiress. She towered over the small heiress. Blake simply stood there watching the various emotions flicker across Weiss' fair face. Her amber eyes traced over every detail. From the white locks to pink lips. Then she noticed the scar. The faunus thought it only added to her beauty. She licked her suddenly dry lips.
"Weiss?" Blake said quietly. She huffed when Weiss remained the same. Blake crossed her arms, tail swinging. She thought of a plan. The faunus smiled as she allowed her to tail to brush up against The heiress' nose.
Weiss' brow furrowed when something soft tickled her nose. She shook her head to clear it. Looking up she spotted Blake sporting a toothy grin while her tail roamed over the blue-eyed girl's face.
Weiss smiled and gently grasped the furry apendage. "What are you doing Blake?"
Instinctively, Blake's tail wrapped around Weiss' hand in a firm grip. "You looked troubled so I wanted to make you feel better." Blake said shyly.
Weiss smile widened. "Thank you Blake, it means alot to me."
Blake smiled once more before leading Weiss into the cafeteria. Her tail still entwined with Weiss' hand.
Blake pushed open the door and was greeted with the noises of the cafeteria. Students talking excitedly with one another about what they did over the summer. The scraping of utensils against plates.
Blake scanned the various tables for blonde or a shock of electric blue. She found Yang and the rest of the group sitting at a table in the corner of the room.
Blake rushed over to table with Weiss in tow. Once at the table, Weiss sat next to Sun and Blake sat next to Weiss but across from Yang and Ruby. Sun raised a brow at the sleek, black tail entwined with Weiss' delicate hand. He smirked before leaning in. "Hey Weiss, Blake's tail is super sensitive give it a rub."
Weiss stared a Sun, confused. She shrugged and started to rub the tip of the tail. "It's no big deal, Sun's probably messing with me-"
"Gah!"
Blake jolted suddenly and kicked the table, causing it to jump. She hunched forward onto the table, breathing hard like she just ran a marathon.
Weiss suppressed giggle. She hid her hands under the table whilst Yang and Ruby gave Blake concerned looks. "You ok there Blake?" The blonde asked.
Blake peeked out from under her folded arms and nodded shyly. "Just a bad twitch."
Yang's gaze went from a snickering Sun, to an almost too innocent Weiss and settled on a flushed Blake. She gave the black-haired faunus a skeptical look. "Riiigghhhttt."
From his spot next to Ruby, Neptune took a bite of his burger and looked from Blake to Sun. "How are you guys related?" He asked.
Sun looked up from eating his bannana pudding, confusion clear on his face. "We told you, Blake's my sister."
Weiss glanced between the siblings. "You guys look nothing alike."
Blake sighed. "Sun parents were killed during a Faunus rights rally. I was there, i guess you could say i was born into it." Blake's eyes glazed over with past memories. She shook her head. "Anyway, my parents saw found Sun in an alley hiding among the garbage. He was just a baby. We took him in and we were raised together."
Weiss gasped. Her hand coming up to cover her mouth. Neptune looked just as shocked. "Oh my god. I had no idea."
Blake shrugged her shoulders. "It was years ago." She smiled before leaning over and ruffling Sun's spiky blonde hair. "Besides, i couldn't ask for a better brother."
Sun slapped Blake's hand away before licking pudding off his spoon and used the untensil as a mirror to try and fix his already messy hair.
Everyone laughed at the monkey faunus. It felt good to finally lighten the mood. Weiss took in everyone at the table. Ruby and Yang talking Blake's ears off about the country side, Neptune and Sun talking about video games. It all seemed normal. Weiss smiled "So this is what it's like having friends."
Blake's stomach growled so loud everyone at the table paused. The faunus looked sheepish. A blush gracing her pale cheeks.
Yang chuckled before reaching for something be her side. "I knew you would be hungry so i grabbed this." The blonde said as she held up a large tuna sub.
Blake snatched the sub out of the blonde's grasp and tore open the plastic wrap before taking a big bite.
Weiss giggled when the feline tail wiggled from her grasp and started to wag. "Blake really is like one big kitten." She thought fondly.
Weiss wasn't very hungry. Neptune accounted for this and snagged the heiress a simple salad. She smiled gratefully at her bestfriend before eating.
However, the peaceful atmosphere was shattered. The orange-haired boy from before sat to the right of the group at his own table, along with his lackeys. Cardin snickered and pulled on a brown rabbit faunus' ears. She let out a cry of pain alerting the the group of friends not that far away.
Weiss felt a pang of sympathy for the faunus. "It must be hard being a faunus."
Yang and Blake let out a low growl. They stood up. Tuna sandwich forgotten as Blake stomped over to the table, the blonde following close behind.
Weiss watched the Sun become uneasy, he fidgeted in his seat. "Is something the matter?" She asked.
Sun sighed. "Blake is super into faunus rights." He stared her as if he was thinking about something. "Can we trust you?" He asked finally.
Weiss was taken back. "Of course." She answered quickly.
Sun lunged forward and grabbed her shoulders in a firm grip. His eyes serious. "Can we trust you?"
Weiss felt courage swell up in her chest. "Yes." She answered firmly.
Satisfied, Sun turned his intense gaze towards Neptune. Who watched the scene with interest. Seeing Sun staring at him, he held up his hands. "Hey man, you can trust me too. I won't say anything."
Sun sagged into his seat in relief. "Good. This is super important guys." The monkey faunus turned his head towards his sister and the angry blonde. "Oh no, We should probably do something."
"Hey!" Yang shouted at the orange-haired boy. "Leave her alone!"
Cardin glared at the girls and tightened his grip causing his victim to wince. "What are you going to do about it blondie?"
Blake's faunus ears flattened in anger. "Let. Her. Go." She growled.
Weiss watched with baited breath watching the two interact with the bully. She watched as the boy laughed loudly before shoving the poor rabbit faunus towards Blake. Blake wrapped her arms around the girl as they both fell to the floor.
Yang roared and made an attempt to grab the bully. At the same time Weiss ran towards Blake and the other faunus while Sun looked on with wide eyes.
A boy with a blonde mohawk grabbed a pie and aimed at the Yang. He throw it but missed. Time seemed to slow down as the pie sailed through the air and hit Weiss in the face.
Silence filled the mess hall. Weiss stood still. She grimaced when the pie slid down her face. Blinking the cream out of her eyes, she sent a glare towards the boys that made Neptune shake in his boots.
A sandwich was thrown, missing the girls sittinf on the floor and hitting Cardin square in the face the mustard staining his clothes.
"FOOD FIGHT!"Ruby yelled.
Food started flying from every direction. Tables were flipped and used as protection. Blake pulled the rabbit faunus and Weiss towards a table that was on its side, stumbling and slipping on food that was on the floor.
Yang laughed as she snatched Cardin up by his shirt, slammed him in the table and dragged him along. The boy sputtered as food hit him repeatedly and ruined his clothes.
Sun provided backup for Ruby and started flinging fruit at Cardin's lackeys. He laughed as he saw the blonde boy from before slip and fall on a bannana.
Neptune, concerned for his clothes and his hair ran and hid under a table. He bumped his head several times before forming the fetal position.
Blake huffed. Her ears were the only thing visble from behind the table. The faunus turned her attention towards the two laying on the floor. She giggled when she saw Weiss attempt rid herself of the sticky cream. "You guys ok?"
"Never better." Weiss answered. She searched for some sort of napkin to wipe the cream that slide down her jaw. She missed how Blake stared at the cream as it made its way down her pale neck.
Blake coughed. I would love to help her clean herself up." She thought.
Blake shook her head and ignored her thoughts. She turned to rabbit faunus. "Hey are you okay there miss..?"
"Velvet. Velvet Scarlentina." She rolled and rested her back against the table.
Blake chuckled. "Are you ok miss Velvet?"
Velvet's long ears twitched. "Yeah i'm okay. How about you guys?"
The black-haired faunus looked towards the heiress who had gotten most of the cream off her face.
Weiss huffed as she wiped the offending cream. "I've been better."
Velvet moved over a bit and leaned to the side if the table, looking at the utter chaos.
Amber eyes locked onto Weiss and the small bit of cream that stubbornly clung onto the heiress cheek. "Hey Weiss you missed a part."
Weiss looked at Blake in confusion. "I thought i got it all.'' She held out the napkin towards the cat faunus. "Can you help me?"
Blake cleared her throat and took the napkin from the heiress. She was going to get close to Weiss! Blake felt butterflies in her stomach as she scooted closer to the object of her affections.
Carefully, she wiped the hieress' cheek clean of the cream. Weiss blushed as she took in the amber eyes of the faunus. They were so close she could feel the faunus' breath. Weiss wanted nothing more than to close the distance and kiss the cute girl wiping her face.
The moment was shattered when a blonde blur was thrown over the table and crashed into the faunus, causing them to bump their faces together. Weiss could feel the graze of soft lips against her own.
Blake pulled back holding her nose, oblivious to Weiss' dopey smile. The faunus regarded the groaning blonde mass. "Yang, what are you doing?"
Yang sprang up, her eyes turning red. Her golden locks have been stained with ketchup. "Killing Cardin is what i'm going to do.''
Velvet covered her ears as Yang let out a battlecry before vaulting over the table and tackling a scared Cardin.
The doors to the cafeteria were thrown open. Glynda Goodwitch came marching in through the doors, a heated glare painted on her face. "Children please, do not play with your food."
Yang sprung off of Cardin as if he had the plague and attempted to look innocent, crossing her hands behind her back and whistling.
A tan man with grey hair and a cane sauntered into the cafeteria. He regarded the mess infront of him. His voice a rumble as if he just woke up from sleep. "Well, I see no point in continuing the school day with such a mess. Everyone you are dismissed. I'll arrange the buses to take you all home."
Everyone erupted into whoops and cheers. The students began to rush out of the cafeteria including Velvet, eager to go home.
Weiss and Blake emerged from behind the overturned table. Yang bound over to the faunus and heiress, cheerful despite being caked with food.
"Hey let's go back to the hide out Blake! we can show Weiss and you can train her."
Blake's faunus ears flattened against her head. She wasn't sure if it was okay to bring a schnee of all people to a faunus gang hideout bent on vandalism for achieving faunus rights.
The black-haired girl glanced at the heiress out of the corner of her eye. Her faunus tail curled nervously. On one hand she does get to spend time with her crush. On the other hand she has no idea how the pack will react to having a Schnee around. Before Blake could think on it any longer, Sun and Ruby emerged from their table fort. By some miracle they were not covered in food.
"Yeah Blake, that'll be a great idea! You can train her and Yang and i get to see the pack again!" Ruby seemed to vibrate with happiness.
Neptune crawled from under the table running his hand through his hair, checking to make sure there was not any food stuck in his blue locks.
"Pack?"Weiss questioned. She had no idea the faunus used such..animalistic terminolgy.
Blake's ears flattened against her head. "Uh yeah, that's kind of what we call of group of faunus that have known eachother a long time."
Yang sauntered up to nervous black-haired girl and throw an arm over broad shoulders. "Yeah! Blake is like the alpha you would say. You guys have to meet the pack, they are awesome people."
Weiss smiled happily. Her parents weren't expecting her home until later, she could spend time with her new crush. "I would love too."
Neptune sighed and looked at Weiss "I've had enough excitment for one day, I'm going home. I'll see you later snowflake." Neptune waved as he walked out of the cafeteria.
Yang snickered. "Snowflake?"
Weiss rolled her eyes and waved off the smirking blonde. "Are we going or not?"
With one last snicker from the blonde bombshell, the group was off. However, Blake was concerned. What is Neo going to do?
