3 days later
Beacon Hospital
Three days had passed since the accident and Ruby still hadn't woken up yet. Neo hadn't left her side and only ate, drank, or slept when her body gave her no other choice. And thus Raven, Coco,and Velvet had taken it upon themselves to help Neo survive. Raven had the best luck out of the three being able to at least get the girl to look away.
Raven had finally finished classes for the day and had started to hurry to Beacon's hospital. Beacon's atmosphere had done a complete 180 in the past 3 days starting going from sheer excitement to sorrow and mourning. The only people that didn't seem to have been affected where the freshman who had little to no idea who Ruby was.
Raven kept walking through Beacon's hospital noticing the clicks of Shin's paws following right behind her. As Raven made it to Ruby's room she saw mountains upon mountains of get well soon cards, balloons and cookies along with other things that litter the doorway as she was about to open the door Coco and Velvet exited the room."No luck I'm guessing,"
Coco sighed and took off her sunglasses revealing bags under her eyes. "No, she still barely acknowledges that other people were around."
"I mean at least she responds to her name being called, which I guess is something," Velvet chimed in trying to keep a positive light.
Raven made a noise sounding something between a sigh and a growl, "Okay you two can go back to your dorms and rest I'll see if I can get her to leave." Raven's eyes rolled as she saw them not move.
Shin meanwhile had jumped up to the foot of the bed and had begun to whine and pout. She kept looking at the two girls unsure of which she should try and comfort.
"Peach says that she's fine and won't have any permanent damage besides some scarring," Raven said absentmindedly as she looked at Neo.
"From what Fox can tell us Neo keeps sending a message through their bond, he can't tell what she's trying to say though," Coco replied putting her back against the wall.
Raven could only nod as she made her way into the room and took a chair. Shin had decided to curl up at the foot of the bed in hopes of figuring out her moral conundrum. "Neo," Neo didn't respond. "Neo, sweetie, come on you have to leave," Neo only shook her head. "Neo you have to at least eat something then," Neo shook her head again. "Then could you at least drink a little bit more water," Neo shook her head again. "What would you Ruby think if when she wakes up she sees you like this?" Neo froze this time.
Neo knew she looked terrible, she saw her reflection last time she had to use the bathroom but couldn't be bothered to dwell on it at the time. Now though, she felt ashamed over herself. She tried to create a sign with her semblance to tell Raven she'd eat, but the illusion shattered before it could even form properly.
Raven manage to see enough though that she knew what Neo had attempted to say and handed the fox faunus the plate of food she brought with her. After accepting the plate, Neo began picking at the food as her appetite was still nonexistent.
Neo glanced back at the comatose girl. Just imagining Ruby waking up to see her like this made her feel sicker, having Ruby either disappointed in her or angry at herself made her finally decide to stop moping around. 'You wouldn't want to see me like this,' Neo looked down at her plate then back to Ruby and started eating. It tasted bland obviously it was meant to be nutritious and helpful but even she knew it could taste a lot better.
Raven smiled as she saw Neo finish her plate and try to stand up keyword try as she instantly fell back into her seat
"You've been sitting for a little bit too long," Coco snickered only to get a death glare from Neo. "What it's not my fau-," Coco didn't get to finish as she got a punch to the rib from Velvet.
Raven rolled her eyes glaring at both of the older girls a clear sign for them to leave then look back to Neo and pick her up. "You two go back to your dorm, and you need a bath," Neo finally noticed that she reeked of death and nodded vigorously. "Good,"
And as all of them left none noticed the small smile that had crept up on Ruby's face.
Atlas
High-end hotel
Emerald had already passed out from the stress caused by her little father-daughter 'time' with Qrow. Qrow on the other hand wasn't sure if to feel disappointed in not making the challenges more difficult or be proud of the fact that Emerald had performed all 3. As he looked towards the sleeping form, he couldn't help but smile proudly.
"I guess this is what Raven and Summer enjoyed so much," he whispered to himself.
Suddenly his moment got interrupted when his scroll vibrated.
"C'mon Ozpin, can't a guy enjoy the vacation he requested," he grumbled as he fished the device out. Much to his surprise, the message was from Willow Schnee.
'Promise me that what happened tonight will happen again, right now.'
Qrow chuckled until he got another message from her.
'Seriously, I've never seen Jacqass so pissed or Weiss laugh so hard in my life.'
Qrow could only imagine the reactions, "No promises."
There was a near immediate response from Willow.
'I'll let your hand back into the cookie jar.'
Qrow began typing a new message, 'When works for you?'
Qrow jumped a bit when he heard a knocking on the door as he as quietly as possible shuffled towards the door making sure to not wake up the sleeping girl as he opened the door he couldn't stop the sudden weight on his torso or the lips on his own. After a several eternities of kissing, the invader finally let go. "Get on the bed," The invader whispered in a sultry tone
Qrow only chuckled "Sorry, Ice Que-" Qrow didn't get to finish as he got a hard slap to his check. As he recovered from the slap he noticed Willow's face tears slowly dripping down her face as her finger pointed at Emerald. 'OH SHIIIIIIIIIT,' "Please let me explain myself," Qrow squeaked
Willow looked at him her eyes slowly but surely being engulfed in rage, "WHAT THAT YOU CHEATED ON ME WITH SOME HOOKER!"
Emerald shot up from the screaming, and on instinct, dove off the bed. Qrow's hands shot up in surrender, "WAIT WAIT WAIT! THAT'S MY DAUGHTER!"
Willow stopped in her tracks. "You're lying," she half accused.
Qrow shook his hands and head vigorously, "I promise I'm not! Em, stand up and show her your eyes!"
"Fuck you, dad, I ain't getting between this!" Emerald shot back.
Qrow balked at the betrayal before turning back to Willow while thinking of something to calm her down. Though, when he saw her, she no longer looked mad. Instead, she looked confused and betrayed. "You really have other children?" Willow asked barely above a whisper.
"Well. Fuck me," Qrow internally sighed. "Besides our two, she's the only other one I know of," Qrow tried to appease her.
"So you aren't cheating on me?" Willow wiped the tears from her eyes as Qrow snaked his arms around her stomach.
"Willow, I have done a lot of things I will never be proud of, but the one thing I promise you I will not do, is cheat on you," Willow moved her eyes to look at Qrow's and smiled.
Part of Willow knew this made her a hypocrite, but she had finally found a man to give her heart to and she was going to share him. Even if he wasn't the man she was married to.
"So is the spat over? Do I need to leave while you two make-up fuck?" Emerald said, souring the moment perfectly.
Willow snorted at the girl's comment, "Well, that right there is undeniable proof that she is your daughter."
"I know," Qrow remarked, impressed at the level of awkwardness she achieved.
"Oh, fuck you guys, I'm leaving," Emerald huffed and got up. She made her way to the door after grabbing her coat.
"Em!" Qrow called out as he fished out a small roll of lien. He tossed it at her, "Don't be gone too long."
Emerald caught the money and stared at her father, who just gave her a warm smile. She turned to hide the smile on her face and waved as she walked out the door.
"Well now, where were we?" Willow said in a sultry manner.
Qrow, looking less than interested, shook his head, "Normally, I'd be eager to have our fun… but I'd rather just sleep. You're more than welcome to join me."
Willow was taken back by this. Not that he turned down sex, but that he just wanted her company. Her perfect man, just got a little more perfect.
Ozpin's tower
"NO NO NO NO NO," Glynda's hadn't even gotten to her desk before the bomb was dropped.
"Glynda we all know they are ready," Ozpin looked at her as he took a sip from his drink.
"I agree with Ozpin on this," Peach made a face as she mumbled 'weird to say,' "But we agreed on next year this year remember."
"Yes, but but I still refuse," Glynda looked at Raven hoping for some back up. Ozpin and Peach did the same noticing the odd silenced from the spring maiden.
Raven looked around the room and sighed. "On the one hand it would keep them both occupied from all of their general horseplay, on the other I swear to the 2 gods in the sky Ozpin if anyone touches them I will not hesitate to commit murder," Raven glared at Ozpin awaiting some sort of retort.
"My only issue with that is getting a good enough legal team to cover you but besides that go for it," Ozpin replied with a tone that Raven had only heard when he talked about Summer. 'That and me killing them myself would not do me any good.'
Glynda could only whimper as she saw her last line of defense wither and die. Peach smiled and put an arm around her, "Hey cheer up at least this way they will be preoccupied 9 hours a day, and homework time."
Raven could only whines at that one, "Well the homework part not so much for the fact that they already did all of it," Everyone in the room turned to her. "Yes it happened about a year ago, I think I caught them stealing a copy of every years homework from my copies. Then they decided to be cute, and did it all in a month," Glynda only deflated more.
Ozpin rolled his eyes "I'll double your pay for the rest of the school year,"
Glynda perked up a bit at that "Fine but I won't deal with their bullshit," "Yet you still work here," Peach mumbled.
