Don't know the ship name...but I actually enjoyed this little one. I think they would have a pretty tragic back story, which I would love to write if I had the time. But, my efforts will be focused on more bumblebee for the time being! Enjoy!
Glynda watched as the eight new huntsmen-in-training were catapulted through the air over the Emerald Forest, their quest to find their partners just beginning. One little huntress in particular held her attention for much longer than the others.
She couldn't help sighing as she watched the young brunette go sailing through the air. The girl just seemed much…smaller…than everyone else. The gap in years definitely showed in her stature and in many of her mannerisms. Glynda couldn't help but to be very…
"Don't worry about her too much."
She looked over to Professor Ozpin, eyes widening in surprise as he had read what was on her mind. She found the somber man following the girl's movements through the air, as well, coffee mug still raised halfway to his lips.
"But Professor…she's just so young," Glynda began. "If we just gave her two more years…or even one more year…"
"We don't have one more year," Professor Ozpin replied firmly, cutting off the rest of Glynda's argument. She immediately shut her mouth as she stared back at him, surprised at his curtness towards her opinion.
The man sighed as he turned to look at her, brown eyes flashing with knowledge that he still refused to 'burden' anyone else with.
"We've run out of time, Glynda…" he responded softly as he turned back towards the Emerald Forest, the huntsmen-in-training now out of their sight. "We need to train them as quickly as possible, and hope that it will be enough to help them survive what's to come…"
So much pain and loneliness seeped through his voice, making Glynda's heart clench as she heard it.
Instinctually, she reached out and laid one hand upon the man's shoulder, causing him to stiffen upon the contact. She instantly dropped her arm back down to her side and turned back towards the forest, feeling her face grow warm with embarrassment and discomfort.
How easy it was for her to forget…to revert back to how it had once been.
Had it really been that long ago when the two of them had been teammates, here at this very school?
He had been so different then…quick to laugh, easy going, relaxed view of the world…so full of life. She had been different too. Naïve and immature about their abilities and what they would be able to accomplish in the world. Together, they wanted to change things for the better, for all of Vale.
Everything had changed on that fateful day years ago…when their team had been shattered and he had been so critically injured that he nearly lost his legs. As she had stayed by his side and helped him regain his steps, she had known that they would never be the same again. He would never be the same again.
And now, with this new evil that he sensed creeping back into their world, he was drifting even further away from her.
But…she had made a promise, more to herself than anyone else, to remain by his side through it all. In the hopes that one day, when this was all over, she would once again see the man she had known all those years ago.
The man she loved.
