Watching as Yang effortlessly lifting one of the larger speakers across the room, made Glenn pause in thought. Not for the abnormality of the action, just that he wondered why his home world didn't have standard human strenght like that.
It would have made the human race back there more important for the other three factions if they did. His thoughts on his home were ripped away as Weiss approached him and Ruby, the girl looking depressed as she sat on the table in the large hall they were decorating.
"Ruby I need you to pick a table cloth" she asked as Glenn raised an eyebrow. "There the same" he voiced as the girl glared at him. "Never mind then" she grumbled. "So Ruby, have you picked a dress yet?" Yang asked as Ruby sighed.
"What's the point, none of this will matter if we can't get Blake to come" Ruby said depressingly. "Oh don't worry she's going, and what about you Glenn, picked out a dress?" she asked teasingly as Glenn glared at her.
"No, Couldn't find one in my size, I'll have to settle for some else" he answered sarcastically as Yang threw her arm around him. "Weiss, I said no doilies" Yang yelled as she noticed Weiss setting up the new decoration.
"If I can't have doilies you can't have fog machines" Weiss countered. "Your dance if going to have fog machines" a voice asked as the four turned to see Sun and Neptune walking in. "You ladies all excited for dressing up" Sun asked.
"Yeah right" Ruby scuffed. "Laugh all you want, but I'll be turning heads tomorrow" Yang said smugly as Glenn raised an eyebrow at her. "Don't worry, so will you" she added as the blonde sulked on the table.
"You still need to tell me how you do it!" Neptune yelled as Glen glared at him. "I don't know what you're talking about" he snapped in return. "Oh, keeping it a secret then, I will find out sooner or later!" Neptune replied with a glare at the blonde boy.
"Anyway, what are you two wearing?" Weiss asked as Sun cocked his head to the side. "Ugh, this?" he answered as Neptune pushed his friend back slightly. "Ignore him, he doesn't know what he's saying" he whispered.
"So, ugh, what does Blake think of all this, she still being, ugh, Blake-y" Sun asked as the girls sighed at the boy bad attempts at being subtle. "Obviously" Weiss huffed. "I still can't figure out a way to change her mind" Ruby sighed.
"Guys don't worry, we got this" Yang said, gesturing to her and Glenn. "Wait, what do I have to do with this?" he asked, only to find himself being dragged away by the blonde girl.
"Ren, what do you think I should do?" Jaune asked as he sat beside a towel clad Ren inside their room. "Jaune, what's this about?" Ren asked, attempting to grab his clothes as Jaune finally stopped fumbling over his words.
"I need your advice, I want Weiss to take me seriously for once, I'm head over heels for her and I can't seem to tell her that without messing it up" Jaune said depressingly as Ren sighed. "Is that what this is really about?" he asked as Jaune paused.
"Well, yeah, want her to see me as something more than a friend, I want her to know how I feel, that I don't care for her name, but her, the perfect, cold and sweet girl she is" Jaune replied honestly.
"Then tell her that" a new voice suggested as the two males turned to see Pyrrha walking in through the door. "No more schemes, no more pick up lines, just tell her how you really feel" she explained as Jaune gave her a grateful smile.
"Thanks Pyrrha, I'll do just that" Jaune said, leaving the room as Nora lifted her head phones off her ears. "You should practise what you preach Pyrrha" she mumbled as Pyrrha gave her a smile. "I don't need to anymore" she said as Nora blinked ion confusion.
"No way!" she squealed as Ren finally grabbed his clothes, happy to not be naked in the room anymore.
"I don't even know how this is going to work" Glenn mumbled as he watched Yang messing around with a laser pointer. "Shut up" Yang said as she spotted Blake at the end of the library, in a perfect spot to start her plan.
Glenn watched, in utter amusement as Yang actually was able to force Blake out of her chair, making her follow the laser like an annoyed kitty. Oddly enough it was super cute.
Not that he would tell anyone that.
"Hello~~" Yang sang as Blake stopped right in front of her. "We got to talk" she said, grabbing the girl's wrist before she could escape. Glenn only followed behind her, wondering how Yang pulled that off.
"Are we even allowed in here?" Glenn questioned as Yang brought him and Blake to an unused classroom. Why was the room even open if the school was closed for the weekend? Question that kept him up at night seemed to resolve around Beacon.
"Yang, if you're going to tell me to stop, just save your breath" Blake said as she paced around the table. "I'm not asking you to stop, I'm asking you to slow down" Yang countered calmly. "We don't have the time to slow down" Blake rebutted.
"And we won't have any time unless you do, you need to slow down, out of necessity" Yang replied. "Our necessity it to stop Roman" Blake argued. "And we will, but first you have to sit down and listen to what I have to say" Yang said as she gestured for the cat girl to sit in front of her.
Blake cast a glance towards Glenn, the blonde standing near the exit as he gave her a dry look.
She wasn't getting out of this one.
Glenn listened closely as Yang told Blake about her past, her small family living on an island just outside of vale. The demon stayed quiet as Yang explained how Summer Rose wasn't her mother and that's hers had left Yang with her father just after she was born.
But what really got his attention was the fact that Yang had yet to give up looking for her, even to this day she was searching for close to find her mother. "I was stupid, a toddler in a wagon and a stupid girl to tried to even scream for help, we should have died that day because of me" Yang said as she stared blankly at the chalk board in front of her.
"But, if luck would have it, our uncle crow arrived just in time, if it wasn't for him, neither I or Ruby would be here" she finished. "Yang, I'm sorry that happened but this is different, this isn't just a search for answer..." Blake started until Yang cut her off.
"I told you, I'm not telling you to stop, I'm asking you to slow down, I haven't stopped, but I'm not letting it control my life" yang said lowly. "You don't understand, I'm the only one who could do this" Blake argued.
"No you don't understand, if Roman came through that door, what would you do" Yang snapped as she turned on Blake, her eyes red with anger. "I would fight him" Blake replied as Yang roughly pushed her into the table.
"You can't even fight me, how would you beat him" Yang argued as Blake looked back defiantly at her. "Just slow down, not just for you but you the people you care about" Yang said calmly, hugging the black haired girl as Blake blinked in surprise at her actions.
"Just get some rest okay" she adde,d serparating herself form the girl s as she slowly moved past Glenn. "And if you feel like coming out tomorrow night, We'll save you a dance" Yang said wqith a wink as she past the confused blonde.
"She's right you know" he voiced as Blake looked down in thought. "About what?" she asked as Glenn smiled at her. "If you don't get rest, you won't be able to do anything to help" he explained as Blake looked away.
"I don't need you to tell me what Yang already did" she voiced as Glenn shrugged. "I won't either, I was just like you at one point" he said as Blake looked up at him in surprise. "I had so much to worry about, the Khoas brigade was attacking the underworld, my master was attempting to rally help from the other young devils while the Satan's got the armies ready" he explained.
"But before she could attack, I took it upon myself, I faced the attacking monster on my own, I took everything on my shoulders, letting it control how I thoughts because I was thinking of protecting everyone I cared about" he said as Blake listened intently to his story.
"It wasn't until I was faced with Samuel, the dragon eater himself that I found myself outmatched" he explained gravely. "No matter what I did, nothing affected him, every attack looked like a bug bite to him, I could do nothing as he loomed over me, poisoned clocked claws ready to end my days" he said as Blake waited for the next part.
"But I was saved, my best friend, Sean, saved me, his sacred gear, the boosted gear was able to double the resistance he had to dragon like attacks, he took the claw aimed for me and stood defiant in the face of that monster" he explained with a fond smile.
"And his words still affect me today, he said that I was the stupidest blonde he had ever met, and that if I was going to do something like this again...I better bring him along for the ride" he finished with a smile as Blake blinked in surprise at the end of the story.
"I haven't been in a single fight without him backing me up, well, until I ended up here that is" Glenn said as Blake looked up at him. "Do you plan to go back?" she asked suddenly as Glenn looked thoughtful.
"I said to Yang that I would, it could be months or years, but I would return to them eventually" he explained as Blake looked down slightly. "But I would be bringing her along for the ride" he added as Blake looked up at him.
"The offers extends to you as well kitten" he added walking towards the exit as Blake stayed stock still, a blush dusting her pale cheeks. "G-Glenn!" she called out before the blonde could leave. Pausing in mid step, Glenn glanced back at the girl as she nervously scratched at her arm.
"I-is the invitation to the dance still open?" she asked not meeting his gaze as Glenn raised an eyebrow. "I'll pick you up at eight" he said, leaving the girl to her own devices.
Standing at the entrance to the dance, Blake looked nervous as Yang stood beside he,r both wearing form fitting dresses as Yang smiled brightly, attracting more attention than she wanted as she had to reject at least four guys already.
And that one girl.
Blake fiddled with her black dress, glancing at Yang as the girls smiled at her. "Didn't he say he would pick us up?" she asked as Yang gave her a one armed hug. "I hope I didn't disappoint too much kitten" a voice drew the two girls attention as they looked up to see who was speaking.
Standing on the steps was the blonde they were waiting for, dressed in light blue jeans, a white T-shirt, and a dark blue shirt with a black tie hanging loosely around his neck. "Shall we ladies?" he said, stepping forward and presenting his arms to the two girls.
Yang smiled as she took her boyfriend's arms, Blake slowly taking the other one as the two girls and demon gathered a lot of attention, jealous glares from both genders as the three moved into the dance.
If you thought dancing with two girls was hard, well you never had a harem of aggressive women who enjoy dancing.
Glenn did have that, still does.
So performing a seamless dance with two partners that made everyone in the hall just gawk in surprise at him. Spinning both girls back into his arms, Glenn smiled as he noticed the flushed expressions on their faces one he shard as slowly moved off the dance floor.
"Where did you learn to dance?" Yang asked, slumping into a chair beside Glenn as Blake took his lap, blushing as the blonde wrapped his arms around her waist. "Moka and Erza took me to dancing lessons, they only wanted to best when we went to parties, and since Moka was a vampire heiress, I had to learn quickly" Glenn replied fondly.
"Well, they did a great job" Yang said with a smile as Blake nodded in agreement. "Why don't you put those skills to the test against our own heiress" She added as Glenn raised an eyebrow. "Go, we can keep ourselves busy for one dance" Blake added as she slipped out of his lap.
"What are you..." he paused in mid sentence as he noticed Weiss standing beside one of the table, idly fixing some of the flowers as a fake smile was placed on her lips. "I'll be back in a bit" he said, walking away as Yang snickered to herself.
"You really don't seem to mind the sharing thing huh" Blake questioned as Yang chuckled lightly. "Well, once Glenn explained some things about being a devil to me, I saw that I didn't really mind in the end, and he apparently has unlimited stamina" she finished with a giggle as Blake looked away blushing.
Weiss slowly slid into her seat, a soft sigh escaping her lips as she stared out towards the dance floor. She had rejected at least three different request to dance, and the fact she had to at all was upsetting.
She was waiting for this night to be perfect, just her and...
"Something up princess" speak of the devil. "What are you doing over here?" she asked, raising an eyebrow at the blonde teen, slightly repressing the blush as she noticed the form fitting shirt he was wearing.
"Oh you know, seeing a lonely maiden I couldn't help but come over and request a dance" he said smoothly, stepping back into a bow as he presented his hand to her. Weiss looked at him in surprise, staring between his face and his extended hand.
"Why don't we make this a night to remember" he added as Weiss gingerly placed her hand into his. With a smooth gentle pull, Weiss was off her feet, One of Glenn's arm caressing her hip as the other intertwined with her hand.
With a smile, Glenn stepped into motion, Weiss following him as he lead her through the waltz. A graceful spin brought the two ice centred teens into the middle of the dance floor, Weiss twirling away from the blonde, her features alight with a smile as she floated across the dance floor like a delicate fairy.
With a flick of his wrist, Glenn brought the girl back into his arms, the two of them spinning together as her ice blue eyes met tainted blue. Other started to dancer along with the two, Yang and Blake dancing together as they smiled at the two.
As the song came to an end, Glenn spotted Jaune standing beside Ruby, the blonde nervously scratching his neck as Glenn nodded to him. "Excuse me" he said with a smile, separating from Weiss as the girl look confused by his action.
"Mind if I cut in" Glenn said, as he stepped onto the stage, taking the mic away from the DJ as Jaune grabbed the guitar that was set up a while ago. "I hope everyone is enjoying their night" Glenn started as the crowd turned to him.
"But for this next song, I dedicate it to the most amazing girls I have ever met, hope you all enjoy it" he said smiling as Jaune started to play.
There's a lot of talk about me,
People lining up to meet me.
I'm on a verge of celebrity,
So what you think about that?
I've got friends in high places,
Louis Vuitton suitcases,
Look at all their pretty faces
So what you think about that?
You make me wanna shut it all down,
Throw it all away,
Cause I'm nothing if I don't have you.
With a smile, Glenn gazed at each girl in turn, his eyes landing on Pyrrha last as she descended down the staircase leading to the balcony. Her eyes lit up as she noticed Glenn singing, singing tonher specifically.
What's the point of being on top,
All the money in the world,
If I can't blow it all on you.
So, send the cars back,
Put the house on the market,
And my big dreams too.
Because it's all so clear,
Now without you here,
I'm the loser of the year.
I'm at a party in a mansion
There's a lot of high fashion,
And I'm cooler than I've ever been
So what you think about that?
I'm livin' life in a fast lane
I've got fridge full of champagne,
And I'm hanging out with Lil' Wayne.
So what you think about that?
So why do I feel like it's all just a show?
You make me wanna shut it all down,
Throw it all away,
Cause I'm nothing if I don't have you.
What's the point of being on top,
All the money in the world,
If I can't blow it all on you.
So, send the cars back,
Put the house on the market,
And my big dreams too.
Because it's all so clear,
That without you here,
I'm the loser of the year.
I'm the loser of the year.
I can try real hard,
I can try to pretend,
That all these dreams make any sense
Without you.
But that just ain't true
I thought these things would make me forget
About you and me
But you're stuck in my head
I'm a loser,
If I lose her.
You make me wanna shut it all down,
Throw it all away,
Cause I'm nothing if I don't have you.
What's the point of being on top,
All the money in the world,
If I can't blow it all on you.
You make me wanna shut it all down,
Throw it all away,
'cause I'm nothing if I don't have you.
So, send the cars back,
Put the house on the market,
And my big dreams too.
Because it's all so clear,
That I need you near,
And it's all so clear,
Now without you here,
I'm the loser of the year.
Loser of the year.
I'm the loser of the year.
Loser of the year.
As the song came to an end, the crowd was cheering for the two blondes as Laune smiled nervously. "Go have fun" Glenn said as he stepped off the stage, smiling as Weiss, Yang and Blake smiled back at him.
He could see Yang pointing towards the far end of the dance floor, his eyes turning to see a familiar head of crimson hair standing in a slim low cut crimson dress. "You seem to be dressed up for someone" Glenn said, making Pyrrha turn to him in surprise.
"I never knew you could sing, that was amazing" Pyrrha praised as Glenn smiled at her. "That may be so, but it doesn't hold a candle to the beauty of the girl standing in front of me" he replied as Pyrrha's cheeks matched her hair.
As the night continued, no one noticed a certain flaming eyed girl slipping out of the party, her hands clasping a bundle of clothes as she moved to get changed. Only to send one last glance back at the blonde dancing with the Spartan girl.
She would need to adjust her plans after all. With that thought, the girl glanced down at the flaming coloured jewel resting in her hands, yes she would defiantly need to adjust her plans.
That boy was something she needed.
