Greetings, Huntresses and Huntsman, and welcome to the third chapter of RWBYS: Heroes: Bunny Love.
I hope your all going to enjoy it and now on to the story content shall we?
Down in the city of Vale, in the Bookworms Used Books. Velvet had just arrived back from her mission, which had unable her team to organize the upcoming ball, sadly.
But on the plus side, this allowed her to go shopping with Skywalker instead. "Shall we get going? I don't see anything that interests me...", Velvet said, before something caught her eye, quickly walking over to the book shelf, "O-Oh my... This is!... I've been dying to read this! This is a collection of illustrations from the shojo manga I read!", with a big smile on her face, as she started to look through the collection, "It even has short stories inside! I would never have expected this to be here. They have all three volumes. This is amazing...", but her smile dropped when she saw the price for all three volumes, which was way out of her budget.
"Is it good?", Skywalker asked and his bunny Faunus friend nodded before she began to explain what was so great about all three volumes.
"The characters look so real!... Like they really exist!", Velvet explained like she's having fun, "But it's kind of expensive. I can't afford it with what I have right now... and I don't want to take money out of the bank... But, I'll get them no matter what! By next month... I-I gotta hide them where no one will see them."
Skywalker lifted her up so she had a good place to hide them, "Please, don't get brought by someone else...", she prayed, as she was placed down back on the ground and the two walked out of the book store before the two left the bookstore.
On their way back towards Beacon, the two made a stop by a Sweet Shop to buy some candy. Despise having a good time, Velvet felt that weird feeling again.
"Is something wrong?", he asked as they continued the walk.
"N-No, nothing's wrong... Wh-Why, does it seem like something's wrong?", Velvet said, suddenly sounding very defensive.
The Faunus had started to blush, "Uhm... Remember when you saved me from that creep? From that day on... my health hasn't been so great... The doctor said I'm fine, but...", she started, trying to decide to tell him or not, before nodding, "I guess I'll tell you, Jason, since you've been so nice to me... B-But, don't think I'm weird, okay!?", she nearly begged him.
Skywalker nodded, "Promise.", he said with a smile.
"L-Last night, um... I-I... You see, I had this... I-I-I have dreams about you every single night!", Velvet eventually managed to get out.
"It's just a coincidence.", Skywalker suggested.
"I-I thought it was probably just a coincidence, too, but... I dream about you every night... This has never happened to me before.", Velvet continued, seeming giddy, "I appreciate how nice you've been to me, Jason... But one of these days, I... might want to be more than just your friend... Oh! Sorry! I've just been babbling like an idiot... I-I get so nervous when I'm around you... Sorry..."
Skywalker couldn't help but smile at how adorable Velvet was, "Don't be hard on yourself.", he said gently.
Velvet let another adorable chuckle, "I-I'm always talking about my problems... Jason, you're just too nice..."
Coco, Yasuhashi and Fox dragged Velvet to the ball, despise her protest. She was dresses in a chocolate brown mini dress with cream colored high heels. She had her hair styled and swirled.
"Ooohh, you look beautiful!", Coco said to her Faunus friend, who had a blush on her face as a lot of male students were giving her surprised looks, "I bet Jason will fall head over heels for you."
Velvet groans as she looks distressed in her dress, "Can we have a serious talk about how you can fight in these?", she asked her team mate as she tries to maintain her balance, much to her laughing team mates's amusement.
"How sad is it that I can walk better on pumps than you can?", a voice said behind Velvet. Coco looked around and let out low whistle.
Turning around she saw Skywalker walking away from his group of friends to greet them. He was dressed in a white formal coat over a red dress shirt and a black tie. His dress pants were the same tint of black as his tie, while on his feet he had is usual shoes.
"Jason Skywalker, you clean up nicely!", Coco said, giving him a wink and a group of female students seem to agree.
"You don't look bad yourself, Coco.", he said with a smile back.
A little while later, Skywalker, Velvet, Ruby, Blake, Yang and Skywalker's young half brother Sutakira were talking near the refreshments tables. Velvet was still surprised that the blue haired young man was Skywalker's brother, while the blue haired guy was telling a story about what had happened one time with their friends back home.
"Then Jason threw Kyle into a wall. We all thought he had a few broken bones but he just got up and said 'That was amazing!'.", the six laughed at the story.
It was then that no one thought Skywalker would ever do in his life, especially not him.
"W-What are you doing?", Velvet asked, as she felt her crush gently grip her hand.
"Don't worry, it will be fun.", Skywalker said, for the first time she had know him, he didn't sound completely confident as he started to drag Velvet away.
Upon seeing where he is dragging her, Velvet started to slightly panic, "Oh, no, No-no-no-no... No!"
"This is so going on my wall.", she could hear Sutakira say as he had held out his scroll, to film them.
"I-I am sorry Jason... I'm not a very good dancer.", Velvet admitted as they slowly began to swing around the dance floor.
"Neither am I.", he admitted with an adorkable smile.
"It seems Ruby get's along well with Toshi.", Skywalker said, spotting his brother swaying over the dance floor with Ruby, both dancing better than they ever did.
"Toshiyuki's pretty cool. I get why she would dance with him. Not many people can pull off blue hair.", Velvet said as she rested her head on his shoulder.
"He was born with that hair.", Skywalker noted, much to Velvet's surprise, "He got it from his mother.", laughter draws the duo's attention to Ruby and Sutakira who are seeming to have the time of their life.
"They are so cute together.", Velvet said with a big smile, "I am shipping it."
"You ship everything.", Skywalker said with an amused smile.
"You know? I think we really needed this.", Skywalker said as they continued as the music turned into a slow song.
"Yeah, Yang and Weiss did a great job planning it too.", Velvet said before she turned serious, "Hey Jason. I need to ask your opinion on something. Well... I have this friend. There is this guy she likes, they have been friends for a while now, she maybe want to become more than friends with him, but she doesn't want to ruin her friendship with him.", her face felt becoming warmer with each passing second.
"Well, I would say to your friend, that she should take the chance. If their friendship is strong enough, it would survive anything.", Skywalker said, not getting who Velvet was talking about.
"Jason, I like you as a friend, and I want us to be more than that and I understand that you don't like me. I am just a unpopular bunny Faunus and... I am not like you... and I wish that I was. Your beautiful, and clever, and brave and popular and you never make any mistakes...", Velvet said, her face becoming redder by the second.
She then felt a gentle hand caressing her face, hearing a soft chuckle, "Velvet, I am not as perfect as you think. I am not some sort of god.", Skywalker said, softly reaching out and gently holding her hand.
"I wouldn't say that. Some people worship you from afar.", Velvet admitted, with a little smile.
"But Velvet, you want me as your boyfriend?... Really? This is me we are talking about, things tend to get crazy around me.", he admitted but to prove her point, the bunny Faunus placed a passionate kiss on his lips.
His amber eyes grew wide, especially when she slipped her tongue past his unsuspecting lips, exploring the wet cavern that was his mouth. Velvet would have gone on and on with the make-out session if the lack of oxygen didn't force her to pull away, panting hard.
"Alright, then. Velvet Scarlatina... Will you... will you be my girl?", he asked, his handsome face slightly lighting up with a faint blush on his cheeks.
"Jason Skywalker... Nothing would make me feel safer than being loved by you.", Velvet said, and a large smile appeared on Skywalker's face.
"Really!?", he said, with a big smile he embraced her, lifting her off the ground.
The alarm sirens could be hear all around the City of Vale, a failed train attack had caused the Grimm to evade the city itself.
The moment the Bullhead opened to drop Team CFVY and professor Port off, Velvet saw her boyfriend surround by at least a half a dozen assorted Grimm. She only had a moment before he began to swipe around with his Keyblade, taking the Grimm out.
One Ursa tried to swipe him from behind only to be met with his blade before Velvet destroyed it.
"We thought you might needed a little help.", Velvet said as she joined her boyfriend in battle, standing back to back.
"Thanks Velvet, appreciate it.", he said as they attack a pack of Grimm, unleashing a combo of slashes and punches that make the pack of spiked Ursa explode, impaling a nearby Giant Nevermore with its spikes.
"Nice hustle, love birds.", Coco said giving him and Velvet a light pat on the butt, just as a group of large Beowolf comes charging through a building.
"My name is Coco Adele. You just destroyed my favorite clothing store.", she said threatening, "Prepare to die." swatting away its right claw, she kicks the Beowolf in the crotch.
As it falls to the ground and looks at her, she leans down and slams her bag onto its head, she effortlessly swats away more Beowolves.
Velvet steps forward, about to open the box on her belt. "Hey, come on, you just spent all the semester building that up. Don't waste it here.", Coco said to the bunny Faunus, then transforms her handbag into a giant minigun, and starts firing, slaughtering the advancing horde of Grimm, including a Death Stalker and three Nevermores.
The group looked in awe as a an aura of blue light as flew high above the city as an energy orb shot upwards, calling down a rain of blades of light, whipping out the remaining Grimm.
Later on, everyone meets in the pavilion as the infamous criminal, Roman Torchwick, is escorted by Mercury and Emerald towards an Atlesian airship.
"Oh, I can't believe that you caught me, you have really taught me the error of my ways.", he said sarcastically as an Atlesian Knight, grabs him by the arm, "He-hey, watch the hat!"
Team RWBYS, Team JNPRS, Team CFVY, Glynda and Cinder, who stood beside a panting knight, was was sitting on his knees, using his weapon as a crutch. "I guess I am not back at full power yet...", knight said.
"That was you not at full power!?", Nora said surprised.
"Never the less, it was still impressive.", Cinder said, the rest had to agree with her.
"You still haven't told us your name yet, knight.", Ruby pointed out. The knight stood up, and in a flash of bright light, his armor disappeared and everyone looked at him in shock.
His black hair was spiky in the back, and he has chin-length bangs that parted down to frame both sides of his handsome pale face. His eyes were of royal blue in color.
"My name is Marc, pleasure to meet you all.", Marc said, who didn't seem to have aged at all, still looking around 23.
Skywalker and Sutakira were shocked to be looking at their father, while the rest looked in awe. "Holy shit, it's the Marc! You know, as in the Legendary Knight who is in all the history books!", Jaune whispered to a stunned Pyrrha, the blonde boy looked like a fangirl meeting her favorite idol.
"This cannot be...", Glyda Goodwitch muttered, holding her hands over her mouth.
"Glynda? Glynda Goodwitch? Is that you? Why are you looking so much... older?", Marc asked, a slight hint of surprise in his voice.
"I think we have much to explain Marc, not everything is going to be easy to hear... We best get back to Beacon.", Skywalker said, and the rest agreed.
"Though I think we're going to need to get him some new clothes first.", Yang added.
"Why?", Marc asked, not understanding why he would need a new set of clothes.
"Because your completely naked.", Cinder explained.
Looking down, Marc indeed was dressed in nothing but his birthday suit, which would explain the blush the females in the group had gotten, "This just got awkward...", the legendary knight said.
"Well I would gladly have taken you out shopping for clothes, but those bastards destroyed my favorite clothing store!", Coco added as the group made their way to the airship.
The weeks that followed the episode were rather peaceful. Velvet and Skywalker made it clear to everyone that they were a couple, much to the delight of Coco and Ruby.
Cardin and his team now showed not only Velvet, but also everyone else more respect and even compassion, thus making friends outside their team.
Between classes, doing homework, studying and training for the upcoming tournament, they hadn't much time to be a couple.
Finally they had some free time for each other, they were now sitting in a cafe in the City of Vale. The two were now skimming through the menu. "There sure are a lot of sweets here, I might just get one of everything.", Skywalker said.
"Hey, it's my treat. Use Jason, don't abuse.", Velvet said sternly, Skywalker had to chuckle at her comment, "I'm ready, so I'm gonna order."
"Go ahead, I'm ready too.", Skywalker said and his Faunus girlfriend called over a waitress who walked over to them with a bright smile. However, that smile seemed only directed at Skywalker.
"Welcome! Can I take your order?", the waitress asked.
"Yeah, I'll just have a slice of the carrot cake and some Moka Cola.", Velvet said.
The waitress paused a little, not bothering to acknowledge her or even write down her order, she looked right at Ruby, "Mister, your order?"
"A slice of strawberry cheesecake and some black coffee, please.", he said.
"Certainly!", the waitress took back Skywalker's menu and almost snatched Velvet's, "I'll be back with your drinks!" with that she walked away with a skip in her step.
Velvet notice of the fist forming in Skywalker's hand that was resting on the table. Not knowing what to do, she reached out and lightly placed her hand over his fist.
"Don't worry about it. I'm used to it anyway.", Velvet said with a small smile, retracting her hand, "I don't care what she thinks, the only human who's opinion I care about is yours Jason."
"I am glad to hear it.", he said with a faint smile.
"So... How is everything going with you and your... dad?", Velvet said cautiously, knowing this might be a sensitive subject for him to talk about.
She knew he had grown up alone and that Skywalker and his father had trashed half the school as they fought through the school, until professor Goodwitch had stopped them.
"It... Well... It's improving.", he admitted.
Surprisingly the waitress brought back both their orders. As they eat, Velvet spoke up on the reason why she was treating him. "Remember that illustration collection I wanted? The one that was sold before I could get it?"
He gave her a nod, "Somehow, all three were bought and delivered at my dorm room. I went to the store the other day and they told me a handsome young man with faintly glowing amber eyes and black hair in a cut that wouldn't seem out of place on a Anime protagonist, bought them and requested to be send to my dorm room."
"I told them not to mention me.", Skywalker muttered taking a sip from his coffee.
"Thank you Jason, you have been so kind to me. I am happy to have you as a boyfriend, and I am lucky to have you.", Velvet said with a smile, "Would you... Would you like to borrow the collection? Just promise to think of me when you read it."
"How about we read it together?", Skywalker said with a smile, Velvet seems really happy.
There ya go, hope you enjoyed it. Many thanks to everyone who read, favorite and follows this story, you beautiful bastards!
For now I wish you all a fantastic day and I will see you ladies and gents, next time for the last chapter.
