Agony POV
I talked to Ozpin about the events just now. "Are you playing cupid in my life or something?"
Ozpin spun his chair to face me with a mug of coffee in hand. "No" he took a sip "But it was quite fun don't you think? It was amusing to see Glynda react to you and Yang" he laughed silently as a satisfied smile was shown in his face.
"But really? I understand Yang but isn't Ruby too young and Weiss is a princess. Then no way would Blake even go near me until she trusts me, even then we might barely talk" I complained on and on.
"Then tell me, when was the last time you had friends?"
This question took me back. I barely had friends and after some time, I barely got to talk to them anymore and meet with them. The closest friend I had was probably around 3 years ago.
"See what I mean. I don't wish to disturb you but people need people, you can't live alone and you can't win alone" he turned his back against me "Now go to sleep. Tomorrow, you'll have actual classes. Not that you need most of them but it might be amusing for you"
With a bow, I left and went straight back to my room and hit the hay.
The following day started off nice. After taking a nice long bath and putting on my uniform, I went out towards the canteen. As I entered I see some familiar faces, particularly Cardin. I also see team RWBY eating with another team but I ignored them for now. From the looks of it, team CRDL was bullying someone. I entered to see that she was a rabbit faunus. Long brown bunny ears stood out of her head and her brown hair went down to her back.
Not wanting to lose such an amazing morning, I've decided to just help the faunus girl. As I got closer I couldn't help but notice how cute she was. Now I was very encouraged to help her out.
It was very simple. I just made small balls of black matter and threw it right at them at the back of their heads as I moved towards the counter to order food. "Two big breakfasts please" I said to follow my plan "Oh and a banana" I paid and watched the magic unfold.
"Who threw that!?" Cardin began yelling, looking around for the person who threw whatever it was on his head. I kept on firing more to the back of his head until I got bored. Annoyance was very visible in his face as some began giggling around him.
I grabbed his attention by throwing one of my dark-matter balls in the air. He realized now who threw it and began running towards me. I pulled the banana peel towards where his right foot would step and just like in the movies, he slipped and he hit the floor hard. Everyone saw this and began laughing at him. Even I couldn't help myself after seeing his face.
Their whole team stormed out of the canteen out of embarrassment and I moved swiftly and quickly, placing one of the platters I had in front of the faunus girl, noticing how CRDL ruined her breakfast food.
She didn't see me at all and after getting through with it she looked in front of her only to see food on her table. She looked around but she didn't see anybody who might've given it to her. She simply smiled and began eating as she read the note I left in the plate. "HAVE A HAPPY MORNING!"
I notice Ruby and Blake walking towards me and when they had reached me, they both went to my side.
"Nice one Agony! Hehehe, you sure pulled out a good one!" Ruby praised as she smacked my shoulder. I had to take extra care so that my food wouldn't drop.
"Just wanted to continue my awesome morning" I took a sit beside Yang at the edge of the table. Team RWBY was on one side while their friends who seemed to have formed their own team seated opposite to them, facing each other.
"I see you've made quite an impression on our little friendly faunus over there!" Yang said as I took my sit. She pointed towards the bullied bunny faunus. I turned to look at what's happening and I see her team mates moving around her then suddenly pointing at me with grins on their faces. The one with the largest grin was a girl with brown stylish clothes and sunglasses raised up to her head. She pointed towards me and said some things before she straightened her body and looked down on the bunny faunus.
The faunus girl turned her head towards me quickly all of a sudden and she catches me staring at her. Her body suddenly tenses and jolts upright and then she buries her face low in her hands as she squirmed in her seat. Her two long bunny ears were folding up and down quickly like kicking feet. I couldn't help but giggle at how cute the sight was.
"Hey ummm… what's her name?" I pointed over at her as she was being comforted by her team mates as well. "She's kinda cute huh?"
Yang suddenly turns to me with a slightly shocked face. "You think she's cute?" she asked me as she gulped loudly in her throat.
"A little…" I rubbed the back of my neck as I said.
"Why not go ask her yourself?" Blake suddenly speaks up from behind. She sat beside Ruby and Weiss. She points back again to where the faunus girl sat and I turned my head to see what she was referring to.
The faunus girl stood up reluctantly but with the encouragement of her team at her back as she walked slowly while looking down on the floor, flinching whenever someone got near her. Finally she reached our table and she seems very nervous. Her hands were fidgeting around at the hem of her skirt, holding and playing with her fingers and not making eye contact with me.
Her female team mate makes an awkward cough, encouraging her to say something. She suddenly inhales deeply through her mouth and suddenly bows down way too intensely for anyone watching. I thought she was head banging at first.
"THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I-I'M VERY GREATFUL FOR YOUR ACT OF K-KINDNESS! PLEASE TELL ME HOW CAN I REPAY YOU!" she suddenly screams.
"Okay… Umm… maybe we should start with you calming down and not making a scene here…" I laughed a little.
She looks up and notices the students looking over at our direction. Her face looked so red that I thought it might've exploded. She buried her face in her team mates arms as she tries to ignore the numerous eyes staring at us.
"And maybe, you'd like to tell me your name" I said as I patted her shoulder with a small smile.
She slowly stops and looks at me with careful eyes. "I'm… Velvet. Velvet Scarlatina"
"I'm Agony Adris. It's nice to meet you Velvet" I shook hands with her as her team mates began teasing her again.
Introductions were made and now I know that her team mates' names are Coco, Fox and Yatsuhashi. Fox had red hair, dark complexion and literal blank eyes while Yatsuhashi was huge and had small eyes and a thinly cut hair.
"You won't mind if we sit here beside you right? It's nice to have new company, especially with the brand new stars of the school" Coco took her place beside Velvet as Velvet sat beside me with shaky hands and Yatsuhashi and Fox sat opposite to them. I looked at the other team where Fox and Yatsuhashi sat beside and team RWBY realize that we haven't met yet.
Introductions began flying everywhere and just to summarize it: Jaune Arc is the blonde boy, Nora Valkyrie is the short brown haired girl with that crazy smile, Lie Ren is the one with black hair and a pink strand at its side and then Pyrrha Nikos is the one with red hair tied in a ponytail. I knew Pyrrha but the other three were unknown to me, even if Jaune was an Arc.
After that introduction, team CFVY began talking to me and thanking me with Velvet. They began telling stories and jokes and I got along with them. Making them laugh and I laughed with them. I smile as I see happy faces especially with Velvet who was bullied just now. Looks like Ozpin's offer was not a rip off, he really did give me a new life.
Yang POV
Morning was pretty fun and upstart as Agony saved Velvet from Cardin and made new friends. After that we all just told stories until classes start. When they were about to begin, we stood up and began walking slowly towards the rooms before everyone so that we wouldn't have to muscle our way through. I was with my team while Agony was in front of us as he talked to Velvet, telling her stories about himself before he got into Beacon. I can't help but feel a little jealous as the two seemed very close in less than a day.
"So my pants were on fire…" I heard Agony say as a part of his story while Velvet laughed at his jokes.
I pout as I look at them.
"Yang, sorry to intrude but by chance, could you be jealous?" A voice suddenly asks beside me as I see Pyrrha by my side.
"Yeah…" I say until I realized what I just said. " Wait! I-I-I MEAN NO!" I felt embarrassed letting that slip "I mean come on! Why would I be j-jealous with-" I turned to see Agony and Velvet far away now "Agony" I finished.
"Actually, I was talking about Nora's food just now. Pancakes with strawberry syrup seemed amazing and I heard you like strawberries" Pyrrha said with a mischievous smile I didn't notice at first.
"Wha-"
"Kidding!" Pyrrha announces with glee and a mannered giggle "So you are jealous!"
"NO I'm NOT!" I tried convincing her "Why would I be jealous?"
"Well, you've been looking over at Agony and Velvet many times at the cafeteria and while we were walking and the two of them seemed to be getting very close" Pyrrha continued as we walked towards the classroom "Your tongue kinda slipped off as well…"
"Just!- Aaarrgghhhh!" I raged out and moved faster, leaving Pyrrha with that teasing smirk. I entered the classroom where Ruby, Weiss and Blake have taken their seats; Agony was still talking to Velvet. I sat down with frustration and my team seems to notice it. After some silence Blake finally said something.
"Somebody's jealous"
I looked at her with shock. "Even you guys? Really!?". I looked at them and see them looking at Ruby with raised brows.
Ruby was looking down to one of our classmates who was eating freshly baked cookies. I shake my head with a tinge of embarrassment.
'I'm letting this way in to my head too much'
Agony then takes a sit beside me and we all face him. He noticed us looking and answered our question before we even asked. "I don't have a team so I was hoping I can sit with you guys for now"
Ruby immediately answers back to him cheerfully "Sure! You can sit right there beside Yang!"
He relaxes in his seat as he lowers his head down to the table and rest. "Someone had fun" I teased him as he looked over at me with one eye.
"It was fine" he hesitated a little before continuing "I never knew holding up a conversation can be tiring"
I raised a brow at this and copy his posture right now just so that we get to talk at the same eye level. "Whatever happened to 'annoying people whenever you talk to them' or 'not being able to talk to them properly'?"
"Hey" he looked at me with both eyes now "I said I was adjusting!"
"That looked more like flirting to me rather than adjusting"
"What, you want me to be rude to her? She's being bullied"
I was slightly taken aback before replying, carefully choosing my words "No, I was just saying that you two seemed very close. Could it be that you… like her?" I tried hiding my true intentions under a teasing smile.
"Wooaahhh! Agony likes someone already?" Nora says, sitting behind us. "Who? Is it that cute little bunny?"
Agony sighs before replying to Nora "…No…"
"Ooooohhh! Then could it be Pyrrha then?"
Immediately, Pyrrha reacts, looking up from her desk, looking at Nora to see why her name was mentioned. "Hello~" she sings.
"What!? No! Nononononononono! I respect her, that's all" Agony seemed to be affected by this too much compared to when we teased him about Velvet.
"Sorry, but what's going on?" Pyrrha asked, left out of the original conversation.
Agony looked at her with joking eyes. "She thinks I like you"
Pyrrha seems to get the message but takes it the wrong way and looked sad "Oh, so… you don't… like me…" she starts scratching her arm and looks down to the floor.
"Of course not-!" Before he could finish he looks and realizes his mistake "I mean I like you! Just not in that sort of way…"
"So I'm… nothing special then?" still gloomy, she looked like she's about to cry. Numerous soul piercing stares were brought upon Agony.
"B-But I-I!" he tried to give us his excuse but our cold silence kept his words from coming out. "I didn't-!" we didn't relent and stared deeper into him until he finally gave in "UGH! FINE! I'm sorry for all that please forgive me! I'm sorry!" We all laughed at the situation as Agony tried to make Pyrrha fine and all the while Pyrrha played along, acting sad and angry at Agony. By the time classes started, smiles were on our faces and Agony seemed to be enjoying himself with our company. When classes ended however, professor Oobleck asked Agony to come with him since apparently, Ozpin wants to talk with him again. I walked out with my teammates, chatting about how the day is going so far.
