Ryner Carter to Jaune Arc

[Ryner]

Ryner woke up rather comfortable. He then realized he was on the edge of his bed. Wait...this wasn't his bed! He began to mentally panic as Legion began to wake up.

"What's the rush brat?"

'Legion, I have a question.'

"Ask away." Legion said an irritated sigh.

'WHERE THE HELL AM I?'

"You truly are an idiot, you're in your bed. Wait...SWEET MOTHER GRIMM THIS ISN'T YOUR BED!"

Just then Ryner heard a tired groan. Ryner looked slowly and steadily to the right, only to be horrified. "Wow, you finally tapped that." Legion said. Selene was currently lying next to Ryner in an almost see through nightgown. Ryner was desperately suppressing a nosebleed.

She took one look at Ryner and could see this, and gained a look in her eye that Ryner knew something was going to end badly. "Oh, Ruuuuy~" She stated in a seductive sing-song voice. Ryner wasn't gonna hold much longer. She finally reached him, primarily because he had crawled backwards and hit the wall.

'L-Legion whats going on'

"How am I supposed to know!?"

She wrapped her arms around his neck and sat on his lap. She then began to lean forward and Ryner just went with the moment.

"R-Ryner?" Legion said apprehensive. "No don't! Don't you dare human! Ryner no don't please!"

As their lips were just about to connect...

Team RWBY burst through the door.

"GOOD MORNING YOU TWO!" They yelled, only to see what they were doing. Selene's eyes shot open, and she immediately ran for the covers of her bed, covering herself.

"Oh god." Weiss yelled. "You're disgusting!"

Ruby had an angry yet adorable pout. Ryner could feel Legion blushing. 'Legion, don't tell me you have a fetish for girls like Ruby...'

"WHAT!? NO! THAT DISGUSTING!" Was Legion's rather crappy response.

'Whatever you say. Weirdo'

"Be quiet brat, even if I did, I see nothing wrong with it."

'She's fifteen, you're what? Infinity?'

"Brat."

'Asshole.' Ryner turned his attention to the matters at hand.

Blake had a faint to most, but very noticeable to Ryner, blush. Though Yang's reaction scared him. Her eyes glowed red and it looked like she was on fire. "Blade, can we talk for a second?" She requested/ordered in a sweet tone.

"Yes Yang!" Ryner replied loudly, removing the still sleepy Selene and sprinted up to the roof in his boxers.

{Selene}

She watched as Ryner ran out of her room, holding the covers close to hide herself. She wasn't totally sure why everyone seemed to be looking at her with either a mixture of confusion and jealousy, or confusion and hate. She had almost gotten used to Ryner coming into her room and, as he deemed it, 'Cuddle'. She found it cute, plus he was soft to hold and she didn't mind, but Moon did.

"Why do you have to hold such a vulgar boy while I am awake?" She asked.

'I wouldn't call him vulgar.' She replied. 'He's more… squishy.'

"What is wrong with you?" Weiss said, her hand on her hips as she glared at her. "Honestly we are here to become hunters, not fraternise with our classmates."

"Your one to talk Weiss." Blake smirked.

"And what is that suppose too mean?!" Weiss said, her face turning red with anger and something else entirely.

"I think she means you fraternise with your fellow class mates." Ren said as him and the rest of team JNPR. "More specifically, one of our classmates."

"How… Dare you!" Weiss said, the redness now spreading to her ears. "Selene was the one who slept with him!"

"I didn't!" Selene said defensively.

"Then what was he doing in your room?" Blake said, an eyebrow raised.

"I can see why he wanted to be." Jaune said peeking into her room.

"I'm very confused right now." Ruby said, scratching her cheek.

"Can you guys please leave my room so I can change?!"

{A.N. We're gonna have a theme for fun...}

Play OP: My Demons by Starset

[Ryner]

The door to the roof banged open as Ryner and Yang came through. "What did you two do!?" Yang shouted.

"Nothing!" Ryner defended.

"Sure doesn't look like nothing!"

"Well it was!"

"I thought you were better Blade!" Those words hurt Ryner.

"It's Ryner."

"What?" Legion asked.

"What?" Yang was more confused than angry now.

"My name."

"What is it?"

"I just told you."

"She's none too bright." Legion said. "Perfect for you then."

"Well I didn't hear it."

"My name is Ryner Lee Griffin Walker Hunter Carter."

Her eyes stopped glowing red, and returned to their usual captivating violet. "So, Blade wasn't your real name?" Ryner looked at her with a deadpan stare. "Okay, stupid question."

Ryner pulled her into a hug, surprising Yang, and RWB, JNPR and Selene, who had been peaking in through the doorway to the roof as they had been speaking. They had the idea that Blade, now identified as Ryner, just hated everyone. Now they just had him put down as tsundere. They then looked to their left to see Ozpin, Goodwitch and team CRDL all peaking round the doorway as well.

"Anything else I should know?" Yang asked, still not letting go of Ryner, not that he minded.

"Well, I'm three quarters Faunus, love pizza and breaking peoples legs."

"Wow, okay. What kind of Faunus?" Blake was now listening, fully intrigued.

"I'm an Eagle/Panther/Dragon hybrid."

"Holy shit." Blake said, a little too loud. Ryner turned to the doorway, frowning.

"WE'VE BEEN COMPRIMISED." Nora whispered in a panic.

"RETREAT." Jaune said, running back down the stairs first, followed quickly by everyone.

"Heard something?" Yang asked.

"No." He said, not entirely convinced.

Yang had been in Ooblebecks' class for almost four hours now. But the rest of her team were discussing something more important. "Did you hear his name?" Ruby asked.

"No, all I heard was that he was three quarters Faunus and something about lightning." Blake told her.

"Hmph, as if I care about that dolt!" Weiss angrily whispered.

"Aww, we got a tsundere." Yang added. They looked at her.

"What was his name, Yang?" Ruby asked.

"He asked me not to tell anyone." Yang replied, holding her hands up in defence.

Suddenly, the door creaked open and they all turned to see Ryner walk in. "Hey, Rye!" Selene greeted.

"Hello Seal." Yep, Ryner was so bad with nicknames that he named Selene after an adorable Antarctic animal...

"Do you mind telling me where you have been Mr Hunter?" Ooblebeck asked whizzing into Ryners line of sight.

Ryner responded in a dramatic and over-exaggerated tone. "Well, I was looking into the never-ending sky, thinking about my past life, my bloodline, my heritage and my goals in life."

"Wow..." Yang said, not finding words for what he just said.

"Impressive." Ooblebeck stated.

"So coooolll!" Ruby yelled.

"It's like a poem." Blake said.

"I didn't expect that coming from him..." Weiss trailed off.

"He's a pretty cool guy." Jaune said.

"That's Rye... I mean Hunter for you." Selene said.

"I was also jacking it." Ryner finished.

"Eww!" Yang yelled.

"Have you no shame!" Weiss added.

Blake turned crimson while Jaune looked ready to vomit.

"Yep, definitely Rye." Selene confirmed her last statement.

"Yang, whats jacking it?" Ruby tilted her head in curiosity.

"Not possible for you! Sir, lets continue the lesson now!" Yang yelled.

Half an hour later, after everything had gotten back under control. Ooblebeck asked a question that Ryner almost couldn't hear over Legions' laughter from his entrance earlier. "Now, how many of you have been discriminated against because of their Faunus heritage?" One guy raised a hand, then some girl with bunny ears. Ryner thought it would be fun to raise his hand. "I highly doubt you're a Faunus, Mr Hunter." Ooblebeck said.

"The last guy who said that got put through a window." Ryner muttered.

"What?"

"NOTHING!" Ryner took a seat next to Selene, smiling at her, but she didn't smile back. "What?"

"You're little run out in your boxer shorts this morning." She said, moving in close to him with eyes like knives. "Has got some people taking."

"You think they know?" He said quietly. "About… us the… Cuddling?"

"Nevermore's ass you're impossible." Legion sighed.

Selene smiled and changed the subject. "How was your conversation with Yang?"

"Well, she know my name now."

"And does she know about your little friend?" She asked.

"Who is she calling little?" Legion growled.

"I didn't tell her… I don't want her to freak out."

"Maybe she won't if you're honest." She smiled and turned back to the class, leaving him pondering the thought.

{Selene}

Ryner had walked to the lunch hall and sat next to Weiss, only to hear have walked into what Selene thought as the most long winded and over the top story she had ever heard.

"There we were, surrounded by Ursa..." Nora was saying.

"They were Beowolves." Ren corrected

"DOZENS OF THEM!"

"Two of them..." He corrected again

"Then we skinned them and made a boatload of lien selling Ursa skin rugs!" Nora finished cheerfully.

"She's been having this recurring dream for over a month now." Ren added stoically.

"Ow! Please stop!" They all turned to see Cardin pulling on the rabbit girl's ears.

"I hate people like him." Selene said.

"You're not the only one." Blake continued.

"Despicable." Pyrrha added.

"Being a Faunus must be tough." Yang finished.

They all turned when the heard one of Cardin's teams scream in pain. Ryner had twisted Cardin's arm, and as one of his teammates run over to help Ryner punched him knocked him out and turned to the rest. "You little fucks are gonna pay!" He roared. They group turned to where Ryner had been sitting only seconds before, and found his seat empty.

"Oh lord." Selene said, covering her face. "Any volunteer's?"

"Maybe his girlfriend should calm him down." Weiss said glaring at Selene, like she had been most of the day.

"I'll get him." Everyone turned in surprise to see Blake walk over to him.

"Why was she so enthusiastic?" Yang said, he eyes flashing red then back to normal.

"I have a pretty good idea." Selene smirked.

[Ryner]

He felt the feeble bones beneath his grip. It would be so simple just to twist a little bit more and let them shatter, it would be easy, and fun, very fun.

"Do it." Legion grinned in his ear. "Come on, why not? Yolo right?"

'I could… it would be so quick and painful and did you really just say Yolo?'

"Hunter." He turned to see the jet black hair of Blake, whom he was surprised to see. "Let him go." She said like she was bored of his screaming.

"Why, this piece of shit deserves it!" He gritted his teeth, his hands like a vice around his arm.

"Your right, he does." She said as she walked over to him, placed her hand over his grip, and one finger at a time helped him let go. He freed his last finger, and Cardin scrambled along the floor until he stood up and almost ran out of the lunch hall. He looked back to Blake, who actually smiled to him, something he hadn't thought she could achieve. "They always deserve it, but that doesn't mean we should hurt them."

'We?'

She took another second to stare intensely into his eyes, and looked back in the amber hues, drawn to then in some way. Just when he felt tempted to close the gap between them, she turned on her heels and walked away, swaying he hips as she returned to the table. Ryner stood there for a second, not really sure what to think, and even Legion was quiet.

'That was… Interesting.' He thought, and Legion said nothing in response. 'Legion?'

"Don't speak to me child." Legion said quietly. "I don't like how I feel about that."

Ryner walked back the table, not looking at any of them and just taking his place and staring at his food. When he did look up he notice Selene smirking at him. "What?"

Selene just winked at him, and returned to the conversation.

Ryner took a walk. He needed one, the whole day had been fraught with confusion and embarrassment and he just needed a time-out, which was difficult when you have a hyperactive deamon.

"You should have broken that humans arm." Ha said grudgingly.

He didn't respond, it was a conflicted argument. He knew that jerk Cardin was asking for it, treating that faunas girl like she was alien, different. But, breaking his arm would have been extreme. A very pleasurable extreme, but one that would have got him into trouble.

Blake had stopped him, just at the right time in fact. She had just looked at him, talk to him like she knew how he felt, and she just looked at him. Somehow just by looking at him, looking inside him, he trusted her. And what did she mean by 'We?'

'You don't think she's a Faunas do you?'

He heard the familiar metallic slicing sound of a weapon being drawn, and he turned, drawing Forgiveness and Oblivion himself. He was unsurprised to find Cardin and the rest of his gang forming a circle around him, outnumbered four to one. Cardin laughed with that stupid smile of his.

"That little stunt you pulled at lunch today?" He said, pointing his heavy mace at Ryner. "Was a big mistake."

"Oh really? Well how you treated that faunas girl." He said, pointing Oblivion at him. "Even bigger mistake."

Thrush made the first move, throwing a dagger straight at Ryner's face, but Ryner just flicked his wrist, deflecting the dagger lazily. Then Dove came at his with his short sword, attempting to attack him from the back. Ryner spun around the blade, driving the hilt of his into Dove's wrist. Dove cried out on impact and dropped his sword, and Ryner bought up his knee and kicked Dove into the air, then slammed him into the ground where he remained. The rest of CRDL looked at each other and attacked.

If Ryner could use his snakes he would, but he wasn't going to kill the morons, so showing them his hidden power would mean he reputation would be less than good. So that meant when Cardin reached him first and brought his large mace down, Ryner had to dodge it rather than catch it. He dived left, the mace thumping to the ground and leaving Cardin open for attack, but before Ryner could counter Lark was there, his halberd slicing in Ryner's path, making him jump backwards, only to be met with Thrush again. He was quick with his daggers but was nothing on Ryner, who blocked each strike.

"Just use me and kill these urchins!" Legion moaned in his ear.

'As much as I would like to, I think our spectators would find it a bit unfair.' He said, noticing who was watching him fight. Weiss was standing nearby, her white hair swaying in the breeze and he eyes surprised to see Ryner hold his own against 3 other fighters. 'But that doesn't mean we shouldn't give them a show.'

Thrush stabbed with both his daggers at the wrong time, and Ryner locked then just short of his stomach with both swords, then kicked Thrush making his stagger back. Lark tried to go for some acrobatic air attack, but it was a feeble attempt, as Ryner just let his crash to the ground, getting his blade stuck in the earth. Lark frantically tried to pull his halberd loose, and Ryner just stood over his, grinning.

"It's fine, take your time."

Cardin was back, swinging his mace in an arc widely and clumsily. Ryner ducked under then, blocking a fist from the right, and grabbing the arm twisting it into a similar position from before in the lunch hall. Cardin also had seemed to remember the exact scream he had used at the time. Again, the temptation to break his arm for real this time was strong, and if it wasn't for Thrush coming in again he would have. He let go of his forearm to dodge an oncoming onslaught of dust from Thrush's daggers.

Thrush smiled, as he spun the dial of his daggers, and sent crystals of ice straight at him. Ryner flicked his swords, turning them to their revolvers and fired at the crystals, shattering them one by one. With the last one destroyed Ryner reloaded, not lifting his gaze from the stunned Cardin and Thush. He just gave them a wild grin. "Any more?"

Sadly, Thrush took the opportunity to realise Ryner was clearly unbeatable, and so stood up and run to the unconscious Dove and carrying themselves back to the dorms, their tails between their legs. Cardin stood alone, Lark still trying to dislodge his halberd.

"You've got some nerve." Cardin growled.

"I've also got mad skills and a devilishly handsome face." He replied grinning. "What's new?"

Cardin smirked. "You're still a drop out." Ryner felt something over him, and realised he had left Lark, who had apparently got his halberd free. Then he heard a clang, metal on metal, and Cardin's face dropped as a voice spoke.

"Honestly." Weiss said, her sword locked with Lark's blade. "You think yourself the best fighter out off all of us, and you leave you back wide open for attack."

"Eh, I know you had it." He said.

Weiss scoffed. "You're such a moron." She spun her chambers into the red, and she shoved a fireball into Lark, who flew back, crouching on one knee defeated. "What were you thinking? Taking on four people at a time."

"Hey they attacked me first." Ryner defended.

"All the more reason to ask for back up."

"This fight isn't over yet!" Cardin shouted as Lark hobbled past him.

Weiss tutted again, flicking her dial to the white setting, and sending a wave of cold ice at Cardin, who tried to late to get away but was caught by the wave, freezing him in solid ice mid step.

"Couldn't you have done that earlier?" Ryner said as she put her rapier away.

She rolled her eyes and smiled. "You were doing just fine. Plus, now I got to really see how you fight rather than firing a giant arrow of black and missing two giant Grimm. She turned back and started to walk back to the main building, and Ryner followed, walking passed Cardin whose eyes looked at him for help, which was never going to happen in a million years.

"What were you even doing out here?" Ryner said catching up with her. "Spying on me were you?"

She tensed up a little, her face going pink. "No! I was merely going to… thank you." She looked at his confused face. "For the Emerald forest, when you saved me from falling. I never thanked you and a Schnee thanks those that help them."

"So you're thanking me because you're a Schnee? Or because you are actually grateful for me saving you?" Ryner asked.

They had entered the building and where heading for the stairs of the dorms before she answered him. "Thank you… For saving me." She said, her voice losing all the protective and closed up tone.

"You're very welcome Miss Schnee." Ryner said bowing mockingly.

"And that's why I will never thank you again." She disapprovingly, but she did smile, and did something unexpected. Once he got out of his bow he stood up to find her looking down, as if contemplating something. Just as he was about to ask her what was wrong she stepped into the gap between them on the stairs, and stood on her tip-toes so she could press her lips against his.

As soon as her lips touched his he felt his heart thump against his rib cage. He wasn't exactly sure what was happening, his eyes saw Weiss Schnee pressing kissing him, on the lips, but his mind knew that was statically impossible, and Legion at this point was stunned into silence. Evenly his mind stopped working fully, all the impossibilities of the moment melting away as he closed his eyes and he returned the kiss, fully accepting the feeling of her gloss lips cold against his, but a nice cold, like it was creating steam between then. He felt her fall more into it the long it went on, and his hands began to go to her waist, but when they touched her she was gone, his lips alone again. He opened his eyes just to catch a glimpse at her foot turning the corner of the stairway and down the dorm room hall.

He stood there for a second, then a moment, then for what seemed like forever taking in what had just happened. It was Legion who finally bought him back.

"Ryner… What the hell was that?" he said his voice low.

'Legion buddy.' He thought. 'I have no idea what that was.'

{Selene}

Selene was in the middle of a heated conversation with Moon about her sleeping arrangements when she heard a knock on the door. She stopped her pacing, hoping she hadn't been shouting out loud this whole time.

"I swear if this is that horrible boy." Moon started.

'Relax, I'll send him away if that's what you really want.' Selene sighed and walked to the door in her light blue tank top and short shorts, her newly (and forcefully) agreed night wear. Moon could be quite the mother.

She opened the door, assuming it was Ryner so didn't bother checking who it was first. "I'm sorry but Moon keeps nagging me to keep boys out of my room."

"Last time I checked I wasn't a boy." Selene looked up to see Ruby standing in the door, wearing her familiar red rose panama shorts and fox shirt. She shuffled back and forth on her feet, like she would when she was nervous. "And who's Moon?"

"Oh Ruby." Selene said trying to change the subject away from the divine begin that shared her body most of the time. "Sorry I thought you were Hunter."

"Oh so you're expecting him?" She said, slightly pouty. "That's fine I'll just come back."

"No its fine, he's not coming tonight I don't think."

"Really?" She said with a surprising amount of eagerness. "So there a spot open?"

"Spot open?" Selene said confused.

"Nothing!" she said, acting very suspicious. "Can I come in?"

"Erm, sure." Selene let her inside, where she stood in the middle looking around in the room in the 'I'm not really looking I'm just giving my eyes something to do' kind of way. "What's wrong?"

Ruby hold her arm behind her back, not looking at Selene and seeming to try and word something. Eventually she took a deep breath, and did the usual Ruby thing of say everything at one very, very quickly.

"See I couldn't really sleep and then I thought about what Hunter and you were doing and I thought that maybe that might help me sleep because it look warm and comfortable to sleep next to you but not in that way even though I know we can't do it that way and oh god I have no idea what I'm saying I'm gunna go now."

Ruby made for the door and Selene only just processed what she had just said and stopped her from opening the door. "Wait, hold on so you want to sleep next to me tonight?"

"Does sleeping next to you involve… hugging?" She said, growing pink. "Because if so, yes."

Selene was surprised to see Ruby ask her this, and she found herself going pink as well. "Well, if it will help you sleep sure."

"I know its stupid thing to ask and we haven't been friends for that long, well you and Ryner haven't as well and you have been… wait what?" Ruby said, surprised.

"Sure, we can cuddle." Selene said smiling. Ruby's face lit up and turned bright red at the same time. Selene walked over to the bed, Moon whispering in her ear.

"I hope you know I disapprove of this just as much, Selene."

'Yes, well no one asked for your opinion. Plus, it's not a boy is it?'

Ruby followed her to the bed, but was apprehensive. Selene just smiled. "Just hope in, come on." She beckoned her, and Ruby pulled the covers over her and laid on her side, and Selene snugged up close and acted the bigger spoon, which she preferred, and Ruby didn't seem to mind.

Selene moved her arm around Ruby, who seemed to already be falling into sleep. Selene pressed her body against Ruby's their warmth being shared and both feeling warm and safe. "Selene?" Ruby said sleepily.

"Yeah?" Selene said, sleep overcoming her aswell.

"Your boobs are really soft." And with that she fell asleep, and Selene smiled, and followed her.
