Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Black and White Roses. Enjoy the 1570-word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth do.
(Beacon academy, Main hall)
Summer and Noir barely noticed Flax excuse himself as he walked away from the duo, both teens fell into step as they walked towards the front of the class.
"Still can't believe that girl, Summer. Running around, saying a Faunus deserves to be bullied because she isn't strong, that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard."
Noir muttered when they reached a spot at the front of the crowd.
"Yeah, well, I guess she's just like certain people… You know…" Summer started to reply to her friend.
"Like what, I'm like what?" Noir turned to be face to face with Raven as the 2 17-year old teens stood face to face.
"YOU!" Noir hissed in anger as Qrow slid out of the crowd.
"Hey, what's going on, kid?" Summer frowned at Qrow before Noir looked Raven in the eye.
"Look, I don't know what your deal is, lady, but know this: I might be someone who likes to chill and make jokes, but I will never allow someone to get bullied just because their 'weak'."
Raven rolled her eyes.
"Then you're not a true warrior… Neither is your friend I'm guessing." Summer huffed.
"Rav, let it go, you always do this to everyone and you're not helping things by doing this."
Qrow said he pulled Raven back from Noir as he glared at her, Summer chose this moment to cut in.
"Plus, we aren't weak, he simply did what was right, frost queen." She said as Raven glared at her.
"Just don't start with who deserves to be bullied and who doesn't, we'd be great friends then, lady." Noir put in Raven spoke up.
"I'm sure we would, we could talk about fashion and play games and hang out like you did with ruffles over there."
Raven said as Noir was about to cast another snarky remark when Ozpin cut them off.
"I'll try and keep this brief, since I'm sure your parents told you this speech when they graduated from Beacon. You have traveled here in search of knowledge, to hone your craft and acquire new skills, and when you're finished, you plan to dedicate your lives to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose, direction."
Noir looked to see people mumbling as Summer pulled the hood of her cloak down as Ozpin continued.
"You assume knowledge will free you from this, but your time at this school will prove knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to make the first step."
Noir and Summer shared a look as Glynda stepped up to the microphone.
"You will gather in the ballroom tonight; Tomorrow, your initiation begins. Be ready. You are dismissed."
Noir and Summer shared a look with each other.
"Ozpin seems strange, I'm keeping my eye on him." Noir whispered.
"Yeah, it seemed like he 100% here." Summer added as Flak walked over.
"You know, you guys could at least talk to my face and not just point to me." Raven put a hand on her head and shook it.
"I'm going to loathe this school."
(Beacon Ballroom, 3 hours later.)
Noir looked over at Summer, the 17-year old had swapped her white cloak, crimson blouse, white cincher, black and red skirt with white combat boots, cross pins, grey brooch with a white belt and ammo pouch.
What she now wore was a white tank top with a Ursa on its chest, black pants with red roses as well as well as a white sleeping mask with blue eyes.
"Really like white, don't you, flower girl?"
Noir teased as Summer gazed at the boy, his black and blue t shirt and jacket were replaced with a short sleeve black T- shirt with a picture of a Death Stalker on it. His jeans were replaced by black and blue sweatpants.
Summer held back the urge to laugh as Siva Darkness was in one of Noir's hands, the sword was transformed into its revolver form.
"Says you, Mr. Black and Blue. And really? You sleep with your weapon?" She jabbed back as Noir rolled his eyes.
"Hey, I make this weapon back at Haven before I moved, it's a weapon I like to keep on me at all times."
Noir said as Summer rolled her eyes as she rolled over, Noir saw her pale feet pace the floor until she sat next to him.
"You know, white suits you, Summer. Don't change that." Summer's eyes widened.
"Really? Thanks, I guess, black suits you too, Noir." Noir smiled as he looked over to see her writing.
"Writing to your parents?" Summer shook her head.
"Nah, I like to keep a journal around to write in…. You still didn't say anything about why you helped that girl out in the courtyard." Noir's eyes narrowed.
"Its… Something I'll talk about soon, Summer." Summer nodded before Noir spoke up.
"So, Raven is a bucket of fun, isn't she?" Summer huffed in annoyance.
"She should learn she isn't as big as she acts, she's just a rotten apple." Noir nodded as he layed next to Summer.
"I'm surprised you're not into any of these guys." Summer rolled her eyes.
"Not my type, Noir, I don't want some guy who's too busy flexing his muscle and cracking jokes to be my boyfriend." Noir nodded.
"I'll ask who you like later then I guess." Summer nodded.
"You think it's funny we're the only friend each other have?" Noir shrugged.
"Rather have you then some jerk who only cares about himself."
Summer smiled, both friends were interrupted by another voice as both looked over to see Qrow flirting with some of the girls. The teen wore a long sleeve grey shirt and blue sweats.
"I see someone thinks of themselves as a lady's man." Summer put in as Noir hummed his agreement.
"Why don't you go talk to him?" Summer asked as Noir looked at her.
"Because, a, his sister is a jerk and b, because I'd rather stay here." Summer rolled her eyes.
"Go make another friend." Noir rolled his eyes.
"I don't need another friend, I have you." Summer blushed but turned away.
"As sweet as that is, I insist." Summer started to push Noir towards Qrow, Siva Darkness clinked softly as it dropped onto Summer's sleeping bag.
"Summer, stop!" Noir yelled as Summer laughed and pushed him towards Qrow.
"What, come to warm up to me, kid?" Noir rolled his eyes.
"I'm going to punch you if you keep calling me kid, my name is Noir, and this is Summer." Summer waved as Qrow nodded.
"So, what's the real reason you came over?" Noir looked at Summer.
"To make friends." Qrow laughed.
"Huntsmen don't do friends, it slows them down." Noir shook his head.
"Huntsmen can have friends, I'm friends with Summer and it doesn't slow me down." Qrow sighed as he turned from the two girls he was flirting with.
"Why do both of you want to be huntsmen?" Summer and Noir looked at each other before Noir spoke up.
"Because I want to protect people, huntsmen give people hope and strength and that's what I want to do when I become one, inspire people around me and shield them from harm." Summer went next.
"And I want to do what's right, huntsmen aren't police, they aren't soldiers, their guardians, they always do what's right and they always will…. And I'd rather be one then sit around like a good girl and relax."
"Ah, that's sweet." Noir said as he picked up Summer.
"That's it!" Qrow watched as the two teens tossed which ended with Noir holding Summer.
"Geez, your strong for some who's…. 5'6 I'm guessing?" Noir teased as Qrow laughed.
"You two really are good friends… At least if that's what I'm seeing."
"Some of us want to sleep." Raven said as she walked over with a red tank top and black shorts.
"You!" Summer yelled as she leapt out of Noir's arms.
"Oh, you." Raven said simply.
"What is your problem with us?" Summer hissed.
"Besides the fact that your friend wants to defend someone who does a lot of harm to this world? Nothing." Summer put her hands on her hips.
"I am not going to let you insult me and Noir!" Summer hissed as Noir spoke up.
"Guys, people do want to sleep." Raven turned.
"Thank you." Raven said.
"He's trying to say you shouldn't insult us!"
"Your both not cut out to be huntsmen!" Raven yelled back as Qrow turned out the lights.
"Thanks." Noir whispered as he gently led Summer back towards their sleeping backs.
Author notes
Ok, two things.
Summer isn't going to be like Ruby, not entirely, she's snarkier and joking. Noir isn't like Blake, he's more like Yang with jokes and easy going, like Qrow.
Summer and Raven don't get along very well, Raven is somewhat like she is in the show.
Also, I want to point out Jaune and some of the others will show up in ways you might not know. And Summer and Noir don't like each other romantically until season 2 of the show. Until Thursday with 2 chapters, Lighting Wolf out!
