AN: Firstly I would like to thank rwbyfan5 and Mr. Hide and Seek for supporting the story. You two are awesome. Secondly, to the guest reviewer, this is probably going to be as long as my chapters get mainly because it takes me too much time to write. Side note, I do not own RWBY I only own the fanfic and ocs. Now on with the story.
"Hey Storm?" I heard Ruby ask as we walked out of the arcade.
"Yeah, Little Red?"
"Ummmmm, can I pet your fox ears?"
"Sure," I sighed, "just be careful with the left one." It didn't hurt as much as it use to, but I wasn't quite use to it. I picked up Ruby on my shoulders, while Yang carried Crescent Rose.
At first I was a little reluctant when she started to scratch my ears, but then I willingly let her do it. After a while of scratching I felt a surge of pain as she began playing with my left ear. I was going something, but then I heard her giggling. I wasn't going to stop her and ruin her joy just like that, so I let her play. She continued doing this until we reached the café, 'Summer Espresso'. She pouted in disappointment when I had to take her off of my shoulders.
As we entered I noticed that it was a nice place. The counter was to my left, there were 4 booths connected to one another on the wall to my right, and 3 tables on both sides of the door. Only one guy was there and he was in a table to my left, typing. Probably working on his screen play or something. We took up the 2 booths in the back. Team RWBY and JNPR (minus Jaune) filled up one booth which meant that I was stuck with Audrey and the blonde.
"You can take my spot if you want," Ruby whispered.
"It's fine Little Red. I'll be okay."
Once we chose our seats, we all got up to order. Weiss, Pyrrha, Blake, Jaune, and Audrey had all ordered coffee. Nora would have ordered the same but Ren stopped her and got her water instead. It seemed as though she was already on 5 cups right now, but I didn't say anything. Ren, got green tea, Ruby got hot chocolate and cookies, and I ordered water. Once everyone ordered, Audrey, Blake , and I went back to our booths while the others waited for the drinks. Blake started to read and I was trying to stay quiet to avoid any topic that I didn't want, but that was inevitable.
"So what do you think of Jaune?" Audrey asked.
"I don't know. I haven't been able to talk to him, but it seems like you like him," I said with a smirk that caused her to blush. "Well, do you?" I asked, unfortunately already knowing the answer.
"Yeah. He's really nice and so funny. He even-" I sat there smiling. Trying to keep from letting her know how much her praise for the boy was killing me. "He's still a little shy though, and I really want to go out with him. Soooo I was wondering if-"
"I'd have a talk with him." I sighed but she didn't notice.
"Can you please?" She asked grabbing my arm in a hopeful way.
"Sure. I'll see what I can do." I reassured her tapping her arm lightly causing her to release her grip. "I'll talk to that pretentious fuck" I said softly so no one else could hear, or so I thought.
As everyone came back to the booths Jaune brought Audrey's drink, Ren brought Blake's, and Yang brought mine.
"You can thank me later," she said winking in the process. I decided to ignore it for now.
After listening to the Audrey and Jaune go all lovey dovey with one another for two hours, I couldn't take it.
"Hey shouldn't we get going soon? After all we still need to go to Weiss's museum thing," I suggested trying to get away from this torture. Fortunately everyone agreed.
As everyone began to leave Blake grabbed my shoulder and pulled me back. Her other hand was holding on to Ren's, who had the book that Blake was reading earlier. Ninjas of Love? Interesting.
"I heard what you mumbled back there. You realize that if you don't tell her how you feel, this torture won't stop right." She said pointing at the two lovebirds outside.
"Your one to talk about secrets." This made her eyes widen.
"How'd yo-"
"Did you really expect me not to notice? I smelled it on you from the beginning. You practically reeked of it." Ren then shot me a glance that warned me to keep my mouth shut.
"So, I'm guessing you know then?" I asked.
"Why wouldn't he? We are dating after all."
"So then... Who asked who? I mean you both seem like very quiet people and I've seen how Nora acts around Ren."
"Well it all started when we decided to study together in the library."
"We could have done it in our dorms, but Nora wouldn't let me."
"And Yang wouldn't let me, so we both decided to study together. We kept doing this and soon we just enjoyed the other person's company. We found out that we had a lot in common. Soon, though, our teams started to plan a date for us secretly. One day Weiss invited all of us to a dance that was being held for The Schnee Company. She said that she invited us to prove to her father that she was 'socializing with the proper people.' When we got to the coordinates, however, we ended up in front of some fancy restaurant alone with each other. Once we realized what happened we decided we should at least enjoy ourselves, so we left the restaurant and spent the evening at this exact café. We've been dating ever since."
"What about Nora?"
"Let's just say Ren isn't her type." Not her type? What does she mean by...oh! They both laughed a little when they saw that I had come to a realization. After that we left the café of love and memories.
After an hour or so later we reached the 'royal glacier's' destination.
As we entered the Art Museum of Vale everyone dispersed. The silent duo left to who knows where, Audrey and Jaune went to look at some cubism, Nora and Pyrrha went to the realism section, leaving Weiss, Yang, Ruby and I in the impressionism section. Weiss was still mad at me from messing with her sword, which left me with Yang and Ruby to talk to.
"How's it going Stormy?" Yang asked.
"Please just call me Storm." This caused the blonde's eyes to widen and gave her a grin that could tear her face in half.
"I'm going to regret saying that aren't I?" Yang simply nodded in response.
"So what do you guys think of the art?" I asked trying to keep my mind off of her evil grin.
"Meh. I don't really get it." Ruby said.
"Yeah it's really boring," I complained.
"Well then let's go," Yang said grabbing both our wrists and heading towards the door.
*Ahem. Damn it. So close. We turned around to see the heiress looking at us with an annoyed, but yet calm, expression. "I believe that it's only fair that if I have to go to your club then you have to visit the 'boring' museum."
"Fine 'mom', " I said jokingly. I looked back and saw that Ruby had her head down. When I looked at Yang I saw that her lilac eyes had now turned a shade of red, but they vanished as quickly as they appeared.
"Are you guys alright?"
"Y-yeah, it's just that our mom died when we were little. Yang said wiping a tear that had rolled down here cheek.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean-"
"It's okay. You didn't know."
"Well if it makes you feel any better. I lost my dad when I was little too." This made her smile.
"Aww, thanks! Now stop being such a rainstorm and cheer up!" She tried to pull me into one of her 'crushing hugs' that Ruby had told me about. I used my semblance which caused her to trip on a crack in the floor. I caught her in the process.
"Yay! Go team orphans." Ruby said this while throwing a fist in the air.
"Team orphans. Really?" I responded.
"You try to come up with a team name on the spot." she whined and Yang and I both laughed. For the hour we entertained ourselves until we were finally allowed to leave the museum of dullness. After a while we reached Junior's.
"Hey isn't this the club that you ruined?" asked Ruby.
"No that was on the other side of Vale. Junior is still remolding. This is just another one of his clubs, so just have fun and relax," Wait. That was her? I knew she was strong but damn. As we entered the music was excruciatingly loud and I couldn't take it. Instead, I stayed outside, and to my surprise Blake had gone in without a problem. I guess that bow does more than hide her appearance. As I waited and watched the stars, (at least the ones I could see through the lights) someone sat down next to me.
"What are you looking at?" I looked to see that it was Yang.
"Stars. Wait, why are you out here? I thought that you of all people would be in there dancing." This brought a shocked expression to her face which faded quickly.
"I sure as hell wasn't going to leave you out here by yourself. Speaking of which why are you here? Is it your ears?"
"Yeah. I'm just not use to music THAT loud."
"Well, we can always go somewhere else if you want."
"I'm fine. Thanks anyways."
"No problem. By the way you never let me hug you." She wrapped her arms around me and gave me a hug that would kill an Ursa. It's a good thing I had my gloves on, so I could hug her back with the same amount of force. After regaining both our breaths we laughed and continued starring at the stars. I was even able to point out some constellations to her, despite barley being able to see the stars. As the night went on we shared a few laughs and noticed that Ruby had passed out with a plate of cookies next to her. That was our sign to head back, so I picked up Ruby bridal style and we left. When we reached our dorms I thanked the 3 girls (even though one was asleep), and Ren. I dropped Ruby down on her bed. I decided not to sleep with Audrey tonight and instead I laid down on the floor and slowly, but surely dosed off.
AN: What did you guys think of my Nightlotus ship? Would guys like a specific ship? (anything without Ren or Blake) Complaints? Complements? Let me know with a pm or review.
