Sorry for the break I took! I binge watched Full Metal Alchemist and I never finished it when I was a teenager. Then I watched the movie then I'm watching Brotherhood now. So…. I'm sorry again lol sometimes I get sucked in and it's nice to have a break. Once again, sorry lol
Summer rubbed the back of her head.
"Are you sure you wanna come?" she asked weakly.
She wasn't sure if Roman would try anything…romantic while she was there and she honestly didn't want them to hear anything.
"We wanna see where they live. Just in case we ever need help with you when go off and do something suicidal," Raven said with a big smile.
Taiyang looked at Summer with an embarrassed look, "I hope he doesn't get mad."
"I don't think he will."
The three of them had planned to stay there at the school until Roman invited her to stay with him some of the summer time break they had.
"Why are you being shy about it now huh?" Raven asked, poking her in the cheek.'
"I don't- I don't know!" she cried covering her red face.
"You don't want us to hear your cries of love?" the black-haired huntress whispered in her friend's ear.
Summer's mouth hung open in disbelief. It was the first time that Raven had ever teased her about something so embarrassing. She averted her shame filled eyes and looked at the ground instead. Taiyang looked equally embarrassed with the way Raven was talking considering he never heard her talk like that. All they had done is kiss, hug and sleep beside each other.
"Don't be mean to her," Taiyang said tapping her shoulder.
Raven shot him a sly grin and nodded, "Fine, I'll stay quiet then."
A black car pulled up and the engine cut off. The driver door opened up and Roman stepped out flashing them a cheerful smile.
"I take it everyone else is coming too?"
Summer nodded.
"I kind of figured it would happen. Where's Qrow?"
Even though Roman was less than thrilled about Qrow's existence in his girlfriend's life, he was going to be nice about it. He wasn't in the mood to create conflict unless it was necessary. He cared too much for Summer to allow petty jealous feelings to get in the way. He looked over at Raven eyeing her uneasily.
There was something strange about her but he didn't know what it was. He felt like she could see into his soul or something.
She looked similar to Qrow too, considering they were fraternal twins. He knew they weren't identical but they looked too much alike.
"He went… some… where else," Summer answered looking at the dirt ground.
Raven looked at the car frowning.
"Brother, are you sure you want to leave?"
"I need some time away from everyone."
"Everyone? Or do you mean just Summer?" Raven asked.
"Why aren't you on my side?" he asked getting upset.
Raven sat down on the bed and stared him in the eyes.
"Would you like to know why? Do you want to know? Because once I tell you the truth you must keep quiet."
"You're being weird."
"You're going to hate yourself after I tell you."
"I already hate myself."
"Alright then."
Raven ran her fingers through her thick black hair.
"I have the ability to see into the future for up to ten years. If you hadn't messed and got your panties in a bunch, you and Summer would have been married. Married with three kids. Sakura, Blue and Skyla. All born a year apart from each other. The girls looked like you with the black hair and red eyes. The boy would've looked exactly like Summer- a carbon copy except his eyes would be red.
"There would be a nice house in Patch for you. You two would quit hunting Grimm to settle down. You even had that white fence bullshit… with a few dogs and a cat. Even Skyla wanted a damn bunny and you got it for her. You had everything you could ever want with someone like Summer. Now… you turn into a drunk. You're alone and you hate life, but you love your nieces more than anything."
Qrow's face was stained in tears by the time Raven was done talking.
"You think you made the right decision? You didn't… instead you will suffer for it. Summer is a big girl and she was going to live through Beacon without many problems. She was going to give up worrying about the secret of her silver eyes because you meant that much to her. After a year of dating, you would have made love to her, she would tell me. The next year, you two would be engaged."
Raven threw the tissue box at her brother.
"How… how can you…?"
"Who do you think has been saving you all this time while we lived with those evil people?"
Qrow broke down.
Raven stood up and pulled her brother to his feet. She hugged him tight while he cried into her shoulder soaking her sleeve in tears and snot.
"I'm sorry. I wanted you to know. Not every woman is weak."
Qrow looked at her.
"You… you are so strong, even after losing your baby. How can you be ok?"
"Because, I have to be strong for you. For Summer. For Taiyang. If I falter… then you guys might die."
Qrow pulled away from his sister and looked at the carpet.
"Go on your trip. Clear your head and stop being so stupid. If you love her, grow up. It'll hurt you a lot but do it for her. Be strong."
"Thank you, sister."
"Don't thank me. Just go be ok. Get some help."
"How can I watch her fall for someone else when I feel like she belongs with me?"
Raven smiled and closed her eyes, "You can love someone in more than one way. You will love her, but as your friend and teammate."
They had been in the car for thirty minutes before they finally hit the wooded area in which Brunneis' mansion was. Raven had stayed quiet, listening to Summer and Roman talk. Taiyang would talk with them every few minutes but he didn't talk to Raven. He knew the look on her face- she wanted time to think. He could see the wheels turning in her head.
The road started to get bumpy now. Raven looked out the window watching as the trees went by. She saw Summer's eyes in her window's reflection. She looked happy. She looked so full of life. Last summer, she stayed in their dorm without coming out even to eat. She looked so depressed.
"We're here," Roman said parking the car and shutting it off.
To Raven and Taiyang it looked like a super sized house, nothing special.
"Jinex should have lunch prepared. I have informed him we had extra people coming along," the orange haired guy said flashing Summer a smile.
She beamed with happiness, Raven almost wanted to puke. They were too cute together for their own good. Roman held open the door and let them inside and closed the door behind himself.
"We are back!" Roman called.
Without warning they watch as someone pink flashed before their eyes jumping on Roman and Summer. They were knocked to the ground, making Roman laugh. Summer was stunned but recovered quickly seeing it was Neo. The girl was short like a child but she was a teenager. Raven stared at her like she was the strangest thing she had ever seen. She had a faint scar on her neck making Raven frown.
"You wanna play a song Neo?" Roman asked and she jumped up in excitement.
Taiyang looked at his girlfriend seeing the ugly, angry look on her face.
"Are you ok?" he whispered and she whipped around heading upstairs.
She already knew which room was hers and Taiyang's.

Neo sat down on the bench and smiled at the three of them. She patted the seat next to her and Roman sat down grinning at her. Now, Taiyang got why Raven was making such a weird face. It found it weird the girl was so bouncy and happy to be around Roman when he had a girlfriend. Taiyang didn't believe she had platonic feelings for the orange haired man.
Sound, the two of them started tapping away on the keys. Their fingers were fluid without halts, like their hands had the music memorized so easily. It sounded upbeat, then dark then sad. Summer felt like it was a love song but she wasn't sure. She wished she could read music and share that interest with her boyfriend.
Once the song was finished, Summer and Taiyang clapped for them.
"Hey, quit showing off and let's eat lunch man!" Brunneis yelled walking through the doorway scaring everyone.
Brunneis walked back into the entrance of the mansion and looked up the stairs to see Raven standing there. He felt like he was frozen in the spot he had stopped in. Her eyes were red as blood and cold as ice. His heart started beating erratically. She was drop dead gorgeous.
So I finished Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood so I can get back to my regular updating unless I get distracted by Envy x Edward fanfics lol I apologize for the wait and short chapter
