Chapter 6: Getting to Know You
A slam resonated through the halls, team FRZE had just finished their last team session, and from the atmosphere in the room it seemed like it was going to be the last session they had. Frost grit his teeth made his way to his drawer, willing himself to stay silent, he was dripping wet, soaked. Orion and Evergreen both looked at him apprehensively Orion was slightly dirty but seemed fined and Evergreen was relatively clean as well. The door opened up again and slammed closed, Aurora walked past Frost with grit teeth, her body had a layer of frost covering it. Orion gave Evergreen a look and she returned it with a panicked face.
There was a tense silence as Frost dripped onto the floor, "Change somewhere else." Aurora stated, "You're tracking water." She spat sourly.
Frost slammed his hand on his drawer, "Are FUCKING kidding?"
"You're going to make a mess." Aurora snapped back trying to keep her voice down.
"Uh guys..." Evergreen said a bit meekly.
"Maybe if you didn't try drowning me to death I wouldn't have to!" Frost knocking over a glass sending Aurora off the edge.
"So you're blaming this on me?! Maybe if you could follow simple procedure I wouldn't have hit you at all!" Aurora said raising her voice.
"Yeah because all our enemies are going to be SO willing to let us go through procedure!" Frost snorted, "Wake. Up. Our procedures are too stiff, they're never gonna work in a battle."
"Yeah because your method is much more effective!" Aurora said motioning to her frost-bitten skin.
"G-guys..." Evergreen tried to intervene.
"Well I am SO SORRY that I want our combination attacks to be useful!" Frost yelled, he wanted to pull his hair out.
"OH! Is that what you were trying to do? I couldn't tell! Your were ALWAYS working independently!" Aurora shouted out at him.
"Guys!" Evergreen said jumping in-between the two.
"WHAT!?/WHAT!?" Both shouted harshly.
Evergreen stepped back in shock and stuttered for a moment before a small amount of tears filled her eyes before she ran out of the room, Frost held his hand out, "E-Evergreen wait!" He said with regret before chasing after her. Orion silently watched as Frost left and Aurora saw him close the door, he noticed her eyes look down, obviously upset with her actions towards Evergreen and then he saw her eyes narrow, remembering her argument with Frost.
"UGH!" Aurora growled before sitting on her bed, taking calming breaths.
Orion slowly made his way over and sat next to her and silently waited for her to say...anything. Aurora seemed to calm down slightly and fixed her hair before she rubbed her eyes, "He's so damn stubborn." She said tiredly.
Orion gave her a sympathetic smile, "Yeah...he is. But he's not wrong you know, if you guys would've tried it your way it wouldn't have worked."
Aurora gave him a small glare, "As opposed to what we did?"
Orion put his hands up, "In his defense had you been able to keep up then it would've worked fine."
Aurora looked down, "So it's my fault then..."
Orion shook his head, "Well it's both of your faults...I saw you trying to keep up and he just kept barreling ahead, he should've slowed it down a little. Why didn't you say anything to him?"
"I...I thought I could keep up but as soon as I was ready he was already moving into the next set and..I just didn't-"
"Wanna slow him down?" Orion said in confusion, "Listen I know you're tough on yourself but you don't have to act so capable..."
"I...It's not that! It's just..." She sighed slumping onto her bed, "Every step we took, every move I missed I looked at him and I could just feel him saying, 'Come on, faster, closer.' And I didn't want to let him down..." She mumbled quietly into her pillow.
Orion smirked, he was a forest boy and he could when two people liked one another, "Well he's probably just projecting the way he learned. His teacher was a lot like that, spoke a lot with only their eyes."
"It's annoying." Aurora mumbled.
"Yeah he said that too." Orion laughed a little, "It's probably why he's so stubborn..."
Aurora turned her head, "I hate it."
"No you don't." Orion said rolling his eyes, "You need someone stubborn to argue with.." He thought with a sweat-drop.
Aurora sighed, "You're right, I need someone to argue with."
"Scary..." Orion thought as she spoke his thoughts in tandem.
"You guys talk a lot don't you? Me and him talk but it's mostly..." She looked at her bed, "Less informative."
"We bicker like an old married couple." Orion translated in his head, "Yeah we do, why you wanna know something?"
Aurora was quiet for a little, "Well no...You shouldn't talk about things he told you but...you probably know him a little better...Do you think he's mad?"
Orion hummed, "Well knowing how he is with you it won't last..." He hinted and saw Aurora give him an odd lock but ignored what he said, "But Evergreen is probably talking with him right now anyway, so he'll probably be cooled down by the time he comes back."
Aurora sighed, "Thanks Orion..."
Orion shook his head, "Were teammates, someone has to cool you two hot-heads down, you should apologize to Evergreen when she comes back too."
Aurora nodded, "Yeah you're right...So tell me about yourself, we don't really talk as much as we should." She said sitting up, "I'll go first if that makes you feel better."
Orion offered a small smile "I would like that."
"Evergreen wait!" Frost said running out of their dorm, he saw Evergreen turn the corner, he continued chasing after her. Pumping his legs harder he managed to catch up to her, pulling her shirt he pulled her around and was about to apologize once again before he saw her face. She turned around, eyes tear-free, with her tongue sticking out the side of her mouth.
"Sorry Frosty, I just wanted to stop you and Aurora from arguing." She said placing her hands together.
"Oi shes's devious! Devious and cute! Aurora is a bad influence..." Frost sweat-dropped before throwing his hands into his pocket, "Geez I was worried over nothing..." He muttered before he felt a hand tug at his shirt.
"Hey I said sorry..." Evergreen said with a pout.
Frost relented, her pout getting to him, "Do I have disposition to cuter girls? I guess that would be a normal thing though.." He thought before shaking his head, "Yeah yeah...Sorry about that it's just that she so damn stubborn sometimes."
"Like you Frosty?" Evergreen said placing her hands on her hips, "You weren't taking it easy on her either you know!"
Frost flinched, he knew he was pushing her a little bit, "I know I know. But if we kept doing it her way we would end up mastering useless tactics."
"She knows that Frost! That's why she didn't argue and kept trying to keep up but you didn't slow down for her! Didn't you see her struggle?" Evergreen pouted, "She was exhausting herself Frost, when your leading a dance you shouldn't pull your partner across the dance floor."
"Then why didn't she say anything..." Frost mumbled.
"She didn't want to disappoint you Frost...She really thinks more of your opinion than you think." Evergreen hinted, "She talks about you a lot when were together."
Frost seemed surprised before he scratched his nose, "I-Uh-Then what should I do?"
Evergreen smiled, "Take me to Borealis flowers like you promised and I may help you." She replied cheekily.
Frost drooped, "I meant to get to it I promise I did..."
She nodded, "Yes, yes, of course you did Frosty. Now lead the way and maybe I'll put in a good word with for you with Aurora."
Frost poked her forehead, "Keep it to yourself I can handle that scary woman just fine."
She smiled, "So you do think shes scary."
Frost ignored her and started walking, "Keep up!" He said dismissively as she huffed to walk after him.
"Hahahaha wa-wait so he punched you in the face?" Aurora giggled, covering her face with her hand, "Y-you're both idiots."
Orion rolled his eyes, "Hey it woke me up. I appreciated what captain did, cleared my head a little bit..."
"Hmm yes, two idiots in a pod." Aurora nodded, "Sounds about right."
Orion snorted, "At least I understand my relationship with captain..."
Aurora stopped laughing, "Are you supposing something?"
Orion put his hands in the air, "Hey me and Evergreen joke about it all the time but you two are always either hot or cold with each other. About 2 weeks ago you two were almost inseparable, going out to lunch and dinner but this last week you've barely spoken a word. You two are just like an old married couple."
"We are NOT." Aurora huffed, "We both simply engage in verba-"
"That's how you flirt." Orion said dryly, "You like a challenge and Frost is stubborn enough to give you one."
Aurora blushed, "I-it's not flirting! I see why Frost says your new personality is unbecoming of you..."
Orion grinned, "I like to think I'm a product of my environment."
Aurora mouth twitched ever so slightly, "Don't start."
"Mommy and daddy are always arguing..." He joked.
"Orion.." Aurora warned.
"They yell and scream and fight and neglect me." He mock-whined.
"Shut up." Aurora said with narrowed eyes.
"This is no place for a child."
"I'll hit you."
"Just like you hit daddy?"
"..."
"I'm sorry don't hurt me."
"Froooooosty...It's sooooo farrrrrrrr." Evergreen whined.
"Want me to carry you?" He asked sardonically.
"Yes." She said with a puppy dog face.
"Che like that'll ha-" Frost thought before he caught her eyes...With a huff he bent down and she cheered as she hopped on to his back, "Thank youuuu." She cooed laying her head onto his back. Frost cursed his nature, "Whatever..." He muttered as he continued walking, Evergreen was lithe and light just like Aurora, even more so being the shorter of the two girls being around 5 foot 5 inches. He could feel her nuzzling into his back, she really did act young sometimes, "Although maybe it's just a ploy of cuteness to get more out of me..." He thought dropping his head which perked up as he heard a bit of humming coming from the girl.
"What's that song?" He asked.
Evergreen seemed slightly surprised, "Oh-uh it's a song my older brother used to sing to me when I was little..." She said, her voice was soft, filled with nostalgia.
"You never told me you had an older brother." Frost said a little surprised.
"He's a huntsmen now actually, he became one to help my mom pay the bills after dad died..." Evergreen admitted sadly, "He left on a mission and..." She paused and Frost could feel her sinking into his back.
"Something happened?" He said with a frown.
"He uh didn't come back...That was a few years ago...Mom was struck with grief and she got super protective of me, even pulled me out of school to stop me from becoming a huntress but I-"
"Didn't listen?" Frost filled in the blanks.
She nodded, "I want to find my brother...and bring him back to my mother. I just can't believe he's gone, he's too strong..." She said quietly, "You-uh you're a lot like him actually Frost."
Frost pulled her up slightly to make her more comfortable, "Really?"
Evergreen smiled softly and leaned her head onto his neck, "Mhm, you have a big brother vibe to you. Did you ever have any younger siblings?"
"No." Frost admitted, "I grew up alone really, raised alone..."
"Oh...I guess you just have that sort of personality." Evergreen said happily.
"Thanks?" Frost asked with a light-hearted snort before he settled into a serious tone, "You should try to make amends with your mother you know, I know she's against you being a huntress but..."
"I know..." Evergreen said quietly, "I'm just scared...What if she doesn't love me anymore?"
"She will." Frost said abruptly, "She'll still love you, trust me."
"What makes you so sure?"
"Moms are just like that, no matter how they show it, they love you more than you can really understand." He said shaking his head, "Makes no sense, can't explain it, no rhyme or reason. Mom's are scary."
Evergreen nodded, "I see...Your mother must be amazing then Frost."
Frost shifted a little bit, "She was amazing. The best. She's been gone for awhile now."
Evergreen tightened her grip around him, "I'm sorry..."
Frost shook his head, "It's been too long to be sad, I just want you to keep that relationship while you still have it."
Evergreen was quiet as they came to a lone house in the middle of Forever Fall, "Will you come with me?" She asked meekly.
"Of course, as your leader I'll assure her of your safety with me." Frost said letting her down.
"Thank you captain~" She teased with the name slightly.
"Do you wanna see the flower or not?" He said poking her forehead.
"Sorryyyyy!" She said hanging off his arm before taking note of the old creaky house, "Oh...What is this place?"
Frost looked at it evenly, "I used to live out here when I was little, I visit every now and then." He said cryptically, "Come on follow me." He said motioning towards the back of the house, the house was wore down, nature taking back its land. As they arrived at the back Frost stopped and knelt down at tombstone that had a set of beautiful flowers surrounding it. Picking one up he looked at it fondly before presenting Evergreen with it, "Here, the Borealis flower."
Evergreen could only stare in awe at the flower, the colors shifted and changed and morphed around, it flickered like a light looping around from pink to blue to yellow to green. It looked as if it were dancing within itself, drawing her eyes ever closer to it, "It's beautiful." She whispered holding it close, enamored by it's beauty.
Frost smiled, he hadn't shown this to anyone, "Well besides Raven..." He thought as she stared wide-eyed at the flower, she looked up at him happily, he felt an odd warmth in his chest as she did, "Don't look so happy...just a flower..." He thought scratching the back of his head before looking at the tombstone thoughtfully. Evergreen followed his eyes towards the tombstone and read it, "Stella-Maris Borealis?" She said quietly.
"My mother." Frost said rubbing the tombstone slightly, he seemed like he wanted to say more but silently rubbed the stone with a melancholy face.
Evergreen awkwardly shifted next to him and took a breath, "H-hello Mrs. Borealis, my name is Evergreen." Frost looked at her oddly but she continued, "I'm um I'm Frost's, your son-Oh you already knew that uh..." She seemed embarrassed, "I'm his friend and teammate, he took me here today to show me your beautiful flowers." She said softly looking at the shining flowers surrounding her grave, "Frost is a very nice person, he's sorta cold sometimes but he's a good leader, a better friend though." She added thoughtfully, "I wish I could have met you in person." She said quietly finished looking at Frost with a smile, "I do this a lot with my dad's grave, I figured I would do it here too."
Frost smiled, "That's nice of you." He said running his hand over the tomb one last time, "Well it's getting late we should start heading back."
"You're no going to say anything?" Evergreen asked with a small frown.
Frost shook his head, "I've said everything there is to say after all these years..." He said playing with his hair starting to head away before he felt a tug at his arm.
"Come on, say anything." Evergreen pouted.
Frost huffed and looked at the tomb before looking up, "Hey mom It's been awhile...sorry." He started scratching the back of his head, "I miss you, I should've visited earlier but...I've been pretty busy." He muttered while biting his lip, "I'm training to become a huntsmen, you would probably worry but I hope you would be proud of me..." He said quietly before letting out a sigh, "Who am I kidding you would be crying and happy for me all at the same time, you would be crushing my neck with a hug, and you would be teasing me about making friends and you would be..." Frost trailed off, "I really do miss you." He whispered shaking his head before he felt a hand grasp his, Evergreen gave him an empathetic look, "That's enough." She said gripping his hand tightly.
"Yeah...Let's go home so I can get yelled at." He joked.
"Mommy gonna send you to the dog house?" She said with a nudge.
"You and your boyfriend got jokes." Frost said dryly.
"Frost!" She said lightly punching his arm.
"I can play that game too Eve." Frost said poking her forehead.
"You're the worst."
"Yeah I know."
The sun was setting as Evergreen and Frost came back to their dorm, they heard crashing from inside their room. Frost sweat-dropped, "Smart-ass got in over his head..." He thought, as they walked by both team RWBY and JNPR were staring at the door nervously. Frost sighed and ran his hand through his hair, "How long has that been happening?" He asked making both teams jump.
"W-we weren't spying." Jaune quickly lied.
"Don't care, how long?" Frost said rubbing his eyes as glass broke against the door.
"They've been at it for the last hour..." Blake chimed with a slightly apathetic expression.
"Really Aurora? He couldn't have been that annoying..." Frost sweat-dropped, another crash, he stared at the door tiredly.
"Aren't you going to do something?" Weiss said slightly irritated by his lack of action.
Frost made an odd expression, "She's more mad at me than she is him..." Making everyone cringe as they heard the sound of slamming on the other side of the door.
"They're gonna ruin the room Frost..." Evergreen said afraid to peak through the door.
"Anyone of you wanna go in first?" Frost asked hopefully.
"No." Came the collective response.
Frost sighed, "Some friends you are." He muttered walking towards the door and opening it, ducking as pressurized water drilled into the wall behind him, "Guys..." He said said closing the door. Everyone watched as a few more crashes filled the room then a burst of ice came underneath the door, then silence. Frost came out the room looking tired, he looked at Weiss, "Can I borrow some dust? Fire would be useful Oh and Evergreen go get Glynda...and more lamps...and a drying rack...and strawberry cake."
Evergreen raised a brow, "Okay I get all the other stuff but why the cake?"
"Aurora likes sweets," He said meekly peeking at the door, "And I want a cake before going back in there again.
"Ah...I'll be right back." She said scurrying off to find Glynda aka fixes literally everything Goodwitch. Frost stood in front of his door awkwardly as both team RWBY and JNPR looked at the frost-covered door.
"So...You froze the room?" Ren asked surprising everyone.
"Uhuh."
"And they're both in there..." Jaune continued.
"Yup yup, both of them."
"And you're just leaving them in there until Evergreen gets back..." Blake continued the train of thought.
"Indeed I am."
"So...you froze your own teammates." Weiss stated with a disapproving look.
"Froze em real good."
"Frost you can't just freeze your teammates." Ruby said with a deadpan face.
"Can't I?"
"Uh-No...I actually don't think you can." Yang said looking through a school handbook.
"Ah...Well...They may be a bit frozen right now."
"Aren't you going you help them?" Pyrrah asked slightly concerned.
"Eventually..."
"Can I dress them up like snowman?" Nora asked enthusiastically.
"Nora no." Ren said pulling her back into the room.
"Awwww Rennnnnnnn~" She drawled as she was dragged away.
Another awkward silence ensued and Frost fidgeted as Yang really started staring at him, looking into his eyes deeply, "Shit of all times to remember..." He thought before his eyes shifted towards Blake, "Sooooo you're a Faunus." It was more of a statement than question.
Blake's eyes widened, "H-how did-"
"I wasn't born yesterday; the old, I wear a bow every single day even when I sleep, didn't really throw me for a loop." Frost said interrupting her, "Not that I care, just asking, figured you want me to keep it secret?"
"I would like you to keep it a secret, I'd rather avoid any unnecessary attention. I want people to see me for who I am, not what I am." Blake said fiddling with her bow.
"Anyone that judges you over something so trivial as that doesn't deserve the courtesy of knowing you." Frost said bluntly, "There's not a problem with who you are or what you are./There's not a problem with who you are or what you are." Frost stared at the group that was slightly stunned, "Damn it mom and your stupid habit!" He thought as Pyrrah clapped her hands together to grab everyone's attention, "Agreed! People should be judged by their character and nothing but!" She said grabbing onto Blake's hand, "We all support you Blake, isn't that right Jaune?"
Jaune snapped out his awe and nodded, "O-Of course! We don't care about you being a Faunus or any of that!"
Weiss placed her hand on Blake's shoulder, "Were all friends after all." She said giving her a small smile. Blake seemed a tad overwhelmed at everyone's declaration, Frost seemed to catch on and quickly shifted the subject, "Oh yeah Weiss could you get me that dust now? I should probably thaw out my team..." He said as if it was an afterthought.
"Aurora's gonna be piiiiiissssed." Yang said with an amused smirk.
"Don't remind me..." Frost groaned as Weiss headed into their room to get the dust.
"You two were getting along so great before though." Pyrrah said with a frown.
"What do you mean?!" Ruby said, "They argue literally all the time!"
"RubyRubyRuby, you have so much to learn about relationships, you call it arguing, we call it flirting." Yang said elbowing her littler sister slightly.
Ruby pouted, "That doesn't make any sense if two people like each other don't they like...kiss and hug and gross stuff?"
"My point exactly..." Frost muttered making Yang get into his face slightly.
"Oh so you really don't like her? Not your type? Maybe a little more..." She rubbed up against his arm with her large bust, "Up top?" She winked making Frost pull away with a blush, "Yes and no." Frost answered both her questions. Yang pouted and grinned again quickly gripping Blake's butt, "So you're a butt-man?" She said giving him a good look at Blake's rather round and firm booty.
"Y-YANG!" A blushing Blake almost hissed pulling away from the lecherous girl.
Yang simply smiled before looking at Frost again, "So are you gay? Guy your age with a school filled with beeeeautiful girls," She stretched motioning to Pyrrah, Blake, and herself, "And your not interested in one?" She said poking into his chest.
Frost twitched, "I'm straight I assure you."
Yang grinned evilly, "Prove it."
Blake could see Frost literally starting to freeze the air and decided to step in, "Uh I've seen him and Aurora go out to lunch by themselves every weekend...kinda like a date night?"
Frosts eyes widened, "H-how did you know that?"
Blake seemed to realize she made a small mistake," I uh go there to read sometimes when it gets too loud around here..." She said her eyes shifting to her teammates, making them look sheepish.
"So you ARE dating!" Yang said slinging her arm around his shoulder.
"Frost I have the dus-" Weiss came back with a few vials.
"Heyyyy look literally anything else, let's go pay attention to it!" Frost said hugging Weiss and taking the vials in tandem, "Thanks little sis." He quipped before quickly running into his room and slamming the door. The slam managed to silence the hall for a moment before Yang smirked, "They're totally a thing." She said before everyone returned to their rooms.
"Now if I thaw you out promise you won't try to kill me..." Frost said holding out a the dust vial making a semi-frozen Aurora glare daggers into his chest, "Okay still mad..." He mumbled quietly before thawing out Orion who gave him a gracious look before bowing to his knees.
"Captain I shall forever respect you." He stated loyally.
"Shut up and start cleaning." Frost said clicking his tongue and turning back to Aurora who seemed to be melting him with her eyes, "Now how about I sweeten the deal?" Frost asked pulling out a small strawberry cake. Aurora stared at the cake for a moment before slightly glaring at Frost again, she seemed to have come to a decision.
"You gonna play nice? Blink once for yes and twice for no." Frost said unplugging the vial.
Blink. Blink. Blink.
Frost twitched, "The hell does that mean? Maybe?"
Blink.
"Fucking...OKAY!" He said begrudgingly thawing her body before holding out the small box which was quickly snatched from his hands.
Frost nursed his hand and raised a brow at her, "Told you he can be an annoying prick, what he say to make you so angry anyway?"
Aurora blushed, "Nothing you need to know about."
Frost frowned, now he was really curious, "Maybe I can force it out of Orion later."
Aurora seemed to read his mind, "I made him promise to not tell you."
Frost twitched again, "Fair enough, can we talk?" He said Glynda walked in, fixing their room and sending him a glare that said, "I had to stop my day because of this and you're gonna hear about it later." And he could only mouth a, "Thanks." As she put the walls back together and the beds and drawers into their original positions.
"Fine..." Aurora agreed taking a bite of her cake and walking out of the room, they were going to the balcony, as they usually did whenever they had a conversation like this. As Frost followed Evergreen and Orion both sent him thumbs up, well Orion did, Evergreen made hand puppets mouthing what he assumed to be, "Fight fight fight! Kiss kiss kiss!" Making him scowl before slamming the door. It didn't take long for the two of them to make it to the balcony and when they did Frost internally groaned, it always started like this, awkward silence that neither really knew how to break but she always insisted he speak first; just another stubborn ploy of hers.
"So..." Frost started and then faded to silence.
"Great start." Aurora chimed sarcastically.
"Would you give me break?" Frost said with a huff.
"Not a chance Mr. Socially Awkward." She said with a snort.
"Nickname? So she's not mad then? Or maybe she was just being rude...or probably both..." He thought before sighing, "I'm not that bad am I? I've gotten better, I talk to people fine usually..." He grumbled, he had been working on it.
Aurora hummed, "Yes I suppose you aren't necessarily bad at socializing but you analyze people more than you interact with them, how can you hope to understand if you avoid confrontation?"
Frost leaned on the balcony, "Isn't it better to sit back and observe sometimes?"
"90% doesn't constitute for some Frost, it would be most." Aurora deadpanned.
Frost didn't have an argument with her and stared at her thoughtfully, he was really angry with her this morning but it faded as if it never happened, honestly it felt stupid.
"I'm sorry/I'm sorry." They said simultaneously before looking at one another oddly.
"No I'm sorry." Frost said looking at her strangely.
"Um I believe I'm sorry." Aurora pressed.
"Well than I'm more sorry."
"No I am."
"Are you seriously making this a competition?"
"If it is then I won."
The two stared at one another and Frost laughed, "Heh what are we doing?"
Aurora laughed, "Hahaha I don't know..."
Frost stood up straight, "I should have more more aware of how you were struggling and toned down my speed and execution."
Aurora stood straight up as well, "I'm sorry I kept it to myself, I blamed you and I didn't even tell you what was wrong."
The two both stood in a brief silence, "Are they gonna kiss?" A very soft whisper cut in, Frost knew the voice, it was Nora. Both Frost and Aurora's eyes shot at the door behind them, team RWBY, JNPR, and their own teammates all turned into deers in headlights.
Frost and Aurora simply smiled.
"C-captain...A-Aurora...Wh-why are you staring at us like that?" Orion said slowly leaning back.
"No reason~" Aurora said in her 'sweet' voice.
"Yeah why is everyone so tense~" Frost voice was smooth yet seemed to have a sharp-edge to it.
"Y-you gu-guys aren't mad?" Jaune squeaked hiding behind Pyrrah who mouthed a, "Sorry!"
"What gave you that idea?" Aurora asked all too innocently.
"Y-Yang...they look really scary right now!" Ruby said in a loud whisper.
"Ruby I'm not scary, I'm sad you would said that..." Frost pouted like a child.
"THAT DOESN'T FIT AT ALL STOP IT!" Were the collective thoughts of the group as the pair made their way to them, seemingly calm and collected. Frost and Aurora both stopped at the same time, their smiles both vanished and their eyes became deadly cold.
"DID THEY REHEARSE THAT? WHY ARE THEY SO IN SYNC?" Everyone thought as the air stared getting colder.
"What do you think, ice cubes?" Frost said as if he were talking about the weather.
"I think we could do better...maybe popsicles? Ruby Rose strawberry? Yang Xiao lemonade?" Aurora looking at her nails, her voice eerily similar.
"G-guys? Popsicles?" Yang put her hands up, "D-don't joke around!"
"My radius is about 50 feet." Frost said with a yawn.
"More than enough space then." Aurora said as a thick mist started to pile up behind her.
"You can draw from clouds too? That's impressive..." Frost commented.
"I-I don't have anymore fire dust!" Weiss proclaimed.
They both smiled, "That's a shame/That's a shame."
"Run." Ren stated.
The duo smiled, "They always run." Frost said with his hand outstretched.
Omake: Sexual Harassment
It was hot. Very, very, very hot. Frost, Evergreen, and Aurora sat in their dorm, the sun was broiling and their air conditioner was broken. Frost wore a simple wife beater and shorts as he worked on Hawkmoon, sweat dripped from his brow onto the wooden table and he wiped it away with his shirt. He needed to focus on something, anything really, it was just too hot...not because of the sun, no, because of two certain females in his dorm. Frost bit his lip as he heard a shuffle to his left, he would have thought the stuck up elitist and the quiet gardener girl would have been too shy to walk around the room the way they were doing.
Aurora laid out in her bed with her book in hand, she wasn't wearing anything but short shorts that Frost swore she bought in a size 3 times too small and a thin sports bra. Frost eyes caught her legs, he had a fascination with women with long legs, some could call it a fetish, some may call it a fixation but Frost couldn't take his eyes off of her. He scanned her smooth legs all the way up to her mid-riff until he met her eyes, which were staring at him with an expression he couldn't read, he hated when he couldn't do that. Then she smirked.
"Shit." He thought before quickly looking back at his gun, two pair of feet softly landed onto the ground, Frost internally cursed as a chin landed softly on his shoulder.
"What were you staring at?" Aurora said seemingly innocent.
"Can I lie?" Frost tried to play.
"No."
It didn't work, "Damn it." He thought before grumbling, "Just thinking you looked hot is all..." He lied anyway, a small play on words, hot, she was hot, it wasn't technically a lie.
"Really?" She said lifting her head up and smoothly walking to his right side to look at what he was working on, "Somehow I feel like you're not being truthful with me..." She was being coy, he knew it, she knew it, "Damn her." He thought as she kept a smooth smile on her face.
"I thought we promised not to lie to each other, Mr. Liar man." She said with a small pout, she bit her lip. Frost stiffened as she did, his hand tensed up, clank, he dropped his screwdriver. Before he could move Aurora was already bending down to grab it, Frost simply watched, she was going slowly, painfully slow. Suddenly he realized how nice a butt she had too, "Wait what?" Frost twitched, as she grabbed it and brought up it, lightly tracing up her legs as she did so. Before he knew it he had it back in his hand and they were a few centimeters apart.
"Or should I say Mr. Pervert man." She whispered with an evil smirk.
Frost mouth stood agape, "I-I-You..."
Aurora winked before walking out of the room, "Getting a drink~"
Frosts head drooped down, this new development from Aurora was exhausting. After a few weeks of catching her off guard with sweet compliments she had begun this new form of teasing to get under his skin. She found out about his "fetish" and began to exploit it whenever she got the chance, by bending over, stretching for "training" purposes, constantly crossing her legs when they conversed with one another, she was the ultimate tease and she knew it.
"This woman is going to be the death of me..." Frost thought as he felt his shorts get tighter. As he thought these things he felt a pair of arms drape across his chest and he resisted the urge to groan aloud. Evergreen pressed her chest against the back of her captain, her rather large chest squeezing against a see light blouse. Frost stiffened again, on the opposite end of the spectrum he had Evergreen. She was a tease too...she just didn't know it.
"Frostyyyyy it's hotttttt." She whined with a sad pout.
Frost tried to ignore her squeezing against him, "Orion is working on it..."
"But I'm hot..." She grumbled.
"That you are/That you are..." Frost mumbled quietly.
"Hm?" She hummed moving her face closer to his face.
"Nothing." Frost immediately said almost slapping his hand over his mouth, "What do you want me to do about it?"
"You can freeze stuff..." She said meekly.
"I could freeze you solid..." Frost deadpanned.
"You've frozen people before, just thaw me out, can't you just cool things down?" She grumbled.
"Firstly I gave Aurora and Orion slight frostbite, secondly no, and thirdly no, what am I an A/C?" He said making Evergreen pout again before rubbing her cheek against him, "Oi stop that." Frost thought as the girl nuzzled on him like a cat.
"Please please please?" She pleaded grabbing his working arm and pressing her chest against his arm.
Frost had a blush on his face but tried to keep his composure, he coughed, "O-ok just quit grabbing so hard it's too hot for that..." He mumbled the last part before she let go and cheered with a fist pump. Evergreen quickly sat onto his lap and gave him a beaming smile, Frost thanked whatever higher power in Remnant that he was able to place his hand on his thigh before she sat on him.
"A/C on!" Evergreen said poking his nose.
"Okay Nora." Frost deadpanned before placing his free hand on her head, "Be still, I haven't really tried this before..." He said as his hand started to glow a light blue, Evergreen closed her eyes as she felt the cool sensation flow throughout her body. She could feel Frost channeling his semblance over her, making her core temperature drop down. Goosebumps started to spread over her skin, Frost focused hard as to not freeze his teammate. Frost watched as her body changed from shifty and uncomfortable to relaxed and content but in that moment he had to look away again. His cold touch had cooled her down quickly, so much to the point that he could see her "Ta-tas" as one may put it, through her shirt. Frost had to press hard down against thigh as he let go of Evergreen.
"Alright I'm tired, focusing is making me hotter..." He grumbled.
"That's fine! Thanks Frosty!" Evergreen said with a happy smile before lightly skipping out of the room, "I'm gonna see how Orion is doing." She informed leaving Frost alone in the room. Frost instantly dropped his head onto the table with a loud thud. He wasn't quite sure which was worse between the two of them, the crafty, purposeful tease, or the hopelessly clueless tease.
"Whose idea was it to have co-ed dorms anyway? Hormonal teens whose lives are constantly in danger what the hell do they expect to happen! Oh look at me! My name is Ozpin and I want to put teens with raging hormones into to the same room 24/7!" Frost groaned as the door opened up again, Aurora returned with her drink in hand. She took a sip out of the can, she made sure to pucker her lips tightly. Frost snapped, shooting up from his chair with his eyes covered by his hair.
"Where are you going?" Aurora said with a bemused smirk.
"Killing Ozpin." Frost said cocking Hawkmoon.
"Why?"
"I don't know…Sexual harassment." Frost grumbled out leaving a confused Aurora.
