So… I'm almost out of ideas for my EXTRAS fic right now… I actually am willing to take suggestions if you guys have any! Of course as far as I know I'm just talking to Marronmario, Words and letters, and terrysbankai (go check out his fic!) but seriously, you three and anyone else, give me your ideas! I might even try to do them! Oh! But tell me your ideas with a PM! Don't leave it in the review area, then others will see it and it won't be a surprise if I do it!
Alright, so, that being said, I did have one more small idea: What happened during the break between semesters? I know I said not much happened in my fic, but we could break canon and pretend that something happened right? You could consider this unreferenced canon if you want, or you could see it as the scenes that didn't make the cut, either way, I kind of want to go back and add this idea to the fic, oh well!
Basically, this is just an AJxBlake one shot, and I might do more of those, don't like them? Don't care! Not really asking for anyone's opinion with these, just had the idea so I'm typing it up now!
Disclaimer: Still don't own or have anything to do with RWBY. I'm just a fan that likes to SI myself into things.
So, let's set up the scene.
A boy and girl are in love, they both know they are.
The boy believes the girl couldn't possibly like him.
The girl is trying to protect herself by not falling in love.
Alright, now we elaborate.
Blake never wanted to be in love, even though she had heard all of the mushy stuff about love. She read romance books, but was certain it would never work out for her, the guy would cheat on her at some point, or something like that. It didn't help that she was beautiful, she knew this, and has had a few guys try to approach her.
AJ thought Blake was beautiful in every way.
Her hair, her body, her face, her voice, but especially her eyes, her amber eyes, he always had to fight not to get lost in her eyes.
It was clear they were good friends, but he was sure it wouldn't be anything more than that. He may have changed a lot from when he lived on earth, he may exercise now, he may eat healthy (sometimes) now, he may have incredible powers that he couldn't help but show off with, he still felt that he didn't look attractive, even if Yang had actually called him cute when they first met, Yang always liked to tease. She was always teasing him and Blake about getting together. He would love for that to happen, but he was sure it wouldn't happen, even if it did, Blake would probably not like the way he acts around those he loves, he didn't know that, but he assumed it.
It was better to have never loved at all, then to have loved and lost.
The two cat Faunus agreed with that idea, unlike others who would disagree with this.
They didn't think it was better to have loved and lost, AJ had loved and lost, he didn't like how it left him wanting to be in love again.
No matter how much he wanted to, he told himself he didn't need to be in love, he knew that was true, he always thinks logically, he knew he was happy the way he is, even if he wants to be in love, he IS happy already. Trying for love and having it not work out would ruin him, he would never be happy again if that happened.
Blake had kissed him on the cheek once, as a birthday gift, as a thank you, that's what he told himself. Others would see that as a sign, but for all he knew, this could be just Blake being very grateful, maybe she was just this way around guys, he had gone through that once.
Standing in a hallway, back on Earth. Waiting for the teacher to unlock the door to the class, most of the class would be there by that time.
At the moment though, it was just him, and this one girl that he sort of knew. They never hung out, but he knew her name and knew she was nice unlike everyone else at school. What he didn't get, was why the girl had both arms around his left arm right now.
He wanted to speak, but for some reason never said anything and just looked at her wondering why she did this. She didn't like him did she? Right… as if! She never looked at him either, just hugged his arm. He stood still and wanted to find a way out before someone saw this and said something, or didn't say anything to them and just spread rumors.
Suddenly the door to the hall opened and another student going to another class was just walking in. AJ quickly snaked his arm out of her grip, she clearly didn't like it, but she didn't say anything and they simply stood there waiting till the rest of the class, and then the teacher, finally came and they were able to go into class. Nobody had ever commented on that, so he assumes no one saw that. It was just a weird scenario, neither of them said a word the entire time.
AJ wanted to say he was sorry, and to ask why she did that, but he never did. He would see her a month or two later walking with a guy, so he figured they were together, then he would see her with other guys, with groups of guys, she flirted with all of them, so AJ figured it was just her way and she wasn't actually interested in him.
For all he knew, Blake could be like that. Sure, he should know her well after being good friends from pretty much the beginning of the semester, but he never saw her around other guys, so he had no way to know.
Blake, meanwhile, was conflicted.
She was pretty sure she was in love, virtually certain. She had to be careful not to get lost in his green eyes, they would always sparkle, and not just because he was happy, but because there were little flecks of gold in the midst of the green. His personality was so sweet and friendly, yet he could also be serious when he wanted to be, and he could get very angry as well. But in the end, she just always wanted to be around him, then there was a little voice in her head, the voice of her former self, telling her to get away from him before he breaks her heart. Meanwhile a much louder voice would say to get closer to him before some other girl, like Yang, came and took him from her.
They were best friends, and Yang wouldn't stop teasing about being more than that. Blake both loved and hated the idea. She wanted to not be anything more that friends with him, yet at the same time she was always getting closer to him, and always wanting to get even closer, to be able to fall in love, she was so torn about it.
She hated and loved every moment around him, watching him fight was fascinating, the abilities he had, the skill he had. They would go to the library, grab some books, sit at the same table and quietly read, she loved how calm she felt then, and hated it as well. She loved hearing him laugh suddenly while they were reading, and any time he made them laugh he would smile, she loved and hated that smile.
Not to mention the fact that she would rush over to his side if he needed help, she tried to tell herself it was just helping a friend, just helping a Faunus, just helping a fellow cat Faunus, but it was pretty clear what it really was.
So in the end, you could say Blake had it worse. Loving being around him, and her old self wanting to push away from him, to avoid love, to keep herself safe from heartbreak. Her old self, that tiny voice, hated that she was feeling this way, it was clear she was in love, but this little voice was determined to make her see otherwise.
So when it became clear Jaune and Pyrrha would be training over the two week break, and the others wouldn't be back till the last half of the last week, she wanted to stay away from AJ at all costs, and also wanted to be alone with him, to bond and maybe, just maybe, find out he loved her as well.
So after lunch was over, she and AJ went to the massive library that the school had. She grabbed a few books, AJ grabbed a few and said he would leave her be and go quietly read in his room.
She was glad he was leaving, but she also wanted him to stay, she also felt bad about making him stay, but the voice that said she was in love was much louder.
So she mentally berated herself as she politely asked AJ if he would stay and sit with her while they both read.
"Oh, sure. If you're ok with that." AJ said. He liked the idea of sitting next to her, and tried to get the idea of this going anywhere out of his head.
Blake was both mentally cheering that he stayed, while mentally yelling at herself because if he stays, this might go somewhere, and then it might now work out, and then she would be heartbroken and she would never be truly happy again.
Then she realized something that could make the tiny voice get even quieter: AJ is a really sweet and nice guy, there is no way he would cheat on her, no way he would break up with her, she felt this made sense, she knew him pretty well after all, but that little voice kept her from fully believing that.
He doesn't love you, he would reject you, even if he didn't reject you immediately, he would do it later or he would cheat on you.
AJ quietly read his book and enjoyed the book, and Blake's presence. Even if they never ended up together, they were still best friends, and he was fine with that. His thoughts of the girl led him to glance at her, and find her face really close to his.
He tried to calm his racing heart and not look at her eyes.
"Um… Blake?... What is it?" He asked shyly.
There was a moment of silence before she answered.
"Sorry, thought I saw something in your hair." She said simply and turned back to her book.
Blake wanted to prove without any doubt that she did in fact fall in love with the boy. The fact her heart was racing when she got close to him made it clear to her.
She would try this again the next day, and the next, and the next. AJ most likely wondered why she kept getting so close but she didn't care, she was trying to see how close she could get, how much her heart would race. She tried it a few times with Jaune on their way to lunch, she ignored the glare Pyrrha gave her and focused on seeing how close she could get, only when AJ wouldn't notice though. Her heart didn't beat any faster, that was more evidence, yet that little voice wouldn't give up, she didn't care what it said anymore, she was trying to get her confidence now, to tell him how she felt and hope for the best. Jaune also wondered why she got so close but she never gave either boy an answer.
Pyrrha was more demanding though, so she did have to tell Pyrrha she wasn't trying anything with Jaune, but not telling her about her real plan. Pyrrha was fine with just knowing her Jaune was safe. (I absolutely ship Arkos!)
One of the last few days before their team came back.
AJ was reading a particularly sad part of the story, where the main character's best friend dies. Blake saw this and held his hand before she even realized her hand had moved. AJ froze and she did as well for a moment before trying to comfort him.
"Hey, you ok?" Blake asked, concerned.
"…Ya… just a sad part in the story." AJ said staring at her hand holding his.
"Ok, you looked like you were really depressed there, I got worried."
"No I'm fine. It's just a story." AJ said and she released his hand.
'The way his hand twitched, he wanted nothing more than to hold my hand didn't he? He wanted to accept it but… why didn't he then?' Blake asked herself.
He didn't dare hold her hand. It took all his will not to hold her hand, she was just worried for him, she didn't think of him that way. Not possible.
Then on the last day before their teammates finally came back she had one final reading session with AJ.
"Well, tomorrow our team is gonna be back. No more private reading sessions without Yang teasing us about it." AJ said.
Blake sighed. "Oh well, it was fun."
"I had fun too."
"Thanks for taking time away to read with me." Blake thanked smiling and standing up from her chair.
"No problem." AJ said.
Before he could stand up Blake quickly kissed him on the cheek as a thank you and they both froze. She hadn't meant to do that.
So Blake just ran out the library as fast as she could till she got to RWBY's dorm.
'The look on his face when I did that! That blush he had! He might really like me after all!' Blake internally cheered and the little voice of her former self all but shut up completely. All it could do was complain now, and Blake wasn't gonna listen, she had gone through all of this, she wasn't gonna stop now, she needed to talk to him, alone, and admit her feelings.
It was that second kiss on the cheek that would lead to his dream where Blake almost kissed him. It lead Blake to truly see how good it felt to do that, and the look on his face when she did that, the look in his eyes, he really did feel the same way.
But then their team came back and they had to welcome them while pretending nothing happened between them so Yang wouldn't suspect anything.
She finally realized her plan when school started up again, asking him to meet her alone that night, and ending up admitting their feelings for each other and how obsessed they are with the other's eyes.
"Obsessed certainly fits pretty well." Yang said. "I mean seriously! How often I see you both just staring at each other is insane!"
"So something did happen while we were gone." Weiss said to herself.
"Well, it's certainly A love story…" Yang said.
"Well we aren't the most normal couple." AJ said holding Blake in his arms.
"Most would just check each other out when the other isn't looking but you two? No… You stare at each other's eyes!... What the hell?..." Yang said to herself and sighed facepalming.
"I can't wait for the kid with the beautiful eyes!" Ruby cheered.
"You're gonna be waiting awhile." AJ said to Ruby.
"Ya." Blake agreed.
"Aww." Ruby complained.
"At least you two have decency unlike some other couple's I've seen." Weiss said.
I don't know how to properly end this any better than that so I'll just stop here.
Follow and or favorite, this time I don't need your reviews, read bio if you haven't, check out other fics of mine, have a great week!
Extra one-shot idea that I had before posting! Your welcome!
The entire day AJ was shivering, frankly, everyone was, but Blake only noticed AJ shivering. There was a chill in the air, if your skin was exposed to the air, you would feel the chill, so everyone was cold that day. It was so cold the heaters either didn't work or didn't do enough to change anything. So she made sure to stay close to him when she could and they kept each other warm. But eventually it was time to go to sleep.
"Are you going to be alright for the night?" Blake asked AJ as they hugged outside his room.
"I'll be fine. I just didn't get any of the spare blankets, everyone else took them, the school has absolutely no spare blankets." AJ explained.
Weiss being a Schnee, she was able to get one of the few heated blankets, Blake got one of the normal extra blankets, Ruby said she would sleep with Yang since Yang gives off more heat because of her Semblance. AJ had nothing to keep him warm though?
"Well we can't have that. Let me get mine." Blake said and went to their dorm.
"Oh no. You need it more than me." AJ denied.
"We're both pretty thin, and I want you to have it, I don't want you to freeze." Blake responded.
"And I don't want you to freeze! I have higher body heat than normal so I'll be better off. I am not letting my girlfriend freeze." AJ was adamant about this.
But so was Blake. "I insist that you take this. I am not taking no for an-"
"And I'm not taking no for an answer either." AJ interrupted before sighing. "This is never going to work, we are both too stubborn for this." He said out loud.
"Well we're gonna have to think of something." Blake said and they both stood there thinking for a minute, the shivering made it hard to focus but it also told them they need to reach an agreement, and soon.
Blake sighed. "I have an idea. Get in before Yang sees us." She rushed him in and closed the door.
"And your idea is?... What does it have to do with Yang?" AJ asked, he knew the answer already though.
Blake sighed again. "Now that I think about it, there is no avoiding Yang with this one. Oh well." She said with another sigh and started setting the extra blanket on his bed.
AJ conceded, he didn't mind this if it wasn't for having to deal with Yang in the morning.
They both got in the bed and under the blankets and smiled at each other.
"Goodnight." Blake whispered.
"Goodnight." AJ whispered and they kissed before cuddling up to each other and falling asleep.
AJ woke up in the middle of the night, he felt Blake's warmth and was fine with going back to sleep, then he felt her breathe on his face, like in a way that made it clear she was awake. He opened his eyes and saw her smiling lazily.
They both leaned close, eyes barely open, about to start making out.
But come on, lying in bed together, alone, no one would hear, both Faunus which are susceptible to 'urges', if they start making out they will end up going too far, breaking their promise. They both realized this and stopped before they started and simply smiled in understanding before going back to sleep.
"You two are this close to me taking back the 'decency' comment a week ago." Weiss said, annoyed that they slept together.
"I already explained why we did it Weiss." AJ argued.
"If anything, the fact that we didn't do anything should reinforce the comment." Blake added in.
"The only thing this does is add ammunition to tease you two with." Yang said grinning.
Blake groaned, and AJ sighed, in annoyance.
Why did I do that? Because I was FUCKING FREEZING last night! That led to this idea and there you go!
Again! HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
Sorry, caps lock was on by accident…
