As always, review, PM me and all that jazz.

The entire room was dark, only illuminated by the moonlight shining through the open curtains. In front of the window stood a girl, dressed in only her trousers. Her hands were draped across her chest, and she was staring at her arm. On the top of her head, where her bow would normally be, was a pair of cat ears. They twitched slightly as she looked herself up and down. Slowly, Eric crept towards her until he was mere inches away. She slowly turned around, her eyes boring into his.

"Have you ever looked at your eyes properly?" She asked, seemingly unaware that she was half naked.

"No." He replied quietly.

"They glow." She continued. "You're not human, are you?"

"What makes you think that?" He asked.

"Your eyes glow and you're extremely quite when you walk. Not to mention the fact that your hair twitches a lot." After he stood there thinking about it for a few minutes, he noticed that his hair did in fact twitch quite a lot.

"I just thought I was born different." He stated, stepping closer. She fliched slightly, stepping away from him.

"You're a faunus, like me." They stood in silence before she turned back towards the window, the moonlight illuminating her body once more. He looked at her body, noticing scars that ran deep across it.

"Blake, who did this? Was it Ru-"

"No!" She panicked. "It wasn't her."

"Blake. If it was you need to tell me!"

"It wasn't her. It was someone else."

"Anyone I know?"

"I don't think so."

"Do you want to tell me?"

"You'll be the first person I told." She replied, arms crossing her chest once more.

"Is that bad?" He asked.

"No." She continued. "I don't think it is. You'll keep a secret, right?"

"Yeah, of course." He reassured her, stepping closer to her. This time, she didn't flinch backwards, but instead gave him a sort of inviting look.

"Before I joined Beacon, I was part of a group called the White Fang. Because of their military-esque training, I managed to join Beacon, but that's not the point. While I was with the White Fang, I had a personal mentor called Adam. He was...rough at times, but he'd get the job done, and he was an excellent trainer, one of the best I know. But, everyone has some sort of dark side. After almost every training session, Adam would force himself on his students, if that's what you want to call them. Eventually, my father found out about this first hand when he walked in on Adam attacking me, but he didn't stop Adam. Instead, he joined in, and from there on, Adam and my father became good friends through what they'd do to the students. It got to the point where we had had enough, and decided to try and stop the pair, but we failed...miserably" Tears slowly made their way down the faunus's face. "Lot's of the students were killed, and they covered it up by saying they were attacked by grimm. They said that they'd let their favourite one's off with a warning." She gestured towards her scarred body.

"Blake I'm so sorry. If I'd know I wouldn't have asked about it."

"It's fine." She wiped tears off her cheek with the back of her hand. "You didn't know, but now you do."

"I'm guessing you'd want to keep this a secret?" She nodded lightly.

"I was only going to tell Ruby when she found out herself." He reached towards her slowly, but she recoiled backwards slightly. He stood still in that position for a few minutes before she returned to her normal posture. Gently, he rested his hand on her shoulder and started tracing a scar that ran down her arm.

"You do realise that you can have these removed."

"It'd raise too many questions."

"I'll do it." They stared at eachother for a few minutes before he removed his hand from her arm. "Not yet, but I'll find a way. I'll make it work."

"Your aura doesn't work like that though."

"I'll make it work like that." He promised, bringing both hands together. "At least if you let me try to." She flinched again, but didn't move away from him. His hands began to glow a dim shade of purple, before quickly brightening up. He moved his hands towards her lower arm and started to imagine the wound healing up completely. Sweat formed around his forehead and before long, the scar disappeared.

"You actually did i-" She was cut off as Eric fell into her, knocked unconscious from the excessive use of his aura. "Thanks Eric." She whispered, scratching the base of his hidden ears.

Eric woke to the sound of conversation and squealing girls He opened an eye to see a huge bundle of golden hair flowing in front of him, some laying across his face, tickling his nose.

"Morning you!" Weiss shouted, pointing a finger towards him. "It's about time you woke up! What are you even doing here?! You were meant to be back at the hospital hours ago! The doctors went ballistic!" Ignoring her, he poked Yang in the side, causing her to turn sharply.

"Hey you." He calmly waved, still ignoring the now fuming Weiss. "How you feeling?"

"I'm...okay, I suppose. I've felt better. But then again, I've never been run over by a truck, so, whatever. What about you?"

"More or less the same, but I think I fell and broke a rib. I dunno. Before I got to the dorm, someone ran into me and-" He stopped himself, wondering if he should carry on or not.

"Don't worry." Blake interjected. "I told them about Ruby."

"And the other thing?" A look of panic ran across Blake's face as she went to stop him, but she was too late.

"What thing?" Yang and Weiss asked in union.

"N-nothing!" Eric stuttered, being hit by Blake.

"Tell me." Yang commanded, her eyes flickering between lilac and redish orange.

"Um. Well, basically, Blake….phoned me earlier and we were gonna throw you a welcome home party. We was gonna invite JNPR as well, but we didn't tell them in case they said anything. Then I fell asleep and now this, I suppose. Sorry bout that Yang." Her eyes returned to their normal colour as she calmed down. Both the faunus released a deep breath of relief as they realised she accepted their lie.

"Ah it's fine." Yang stated, jumping up and punching Eric in the shoulder. "You guys didn't have to. It would've just tired me out actually. Is anyone else tired?" Weiss was the only raise her hand, yawning at the same time.

"Blake." Eric called.

"Yeah?" She replied.

"We should give these two some space. Maybe the whole room." As if on cue, both girls blushed deeply, not making eye contact with anyone.

"Why? What are they going to- Oh! Oh I see. Yeah let's go." Eric and Blake left the dorm, flicking off the light as they left, leaving Yang and Weiss sat on a bed together.
