Hello again, peeps! Did you enjoy that fright lemon? Anyway, I hope it wasn't too random...oh well. Enjoy!
I sighed, leaving Echo's team's room as the two female members of his new team began what was really a pointless argument. He was stuck in a group of transfers, who really seemed to be strategically intertwined with each other. However, the two members of team ERTH, why his team got that name, I'm not sure, but the two girls, Rise Peaks and Trench Deepsea, really had begun to get into an argument over, believe it or not, the playboy that's my cousin.
I let out a silent barf as I noticed Sierra walking out of team RWBY's room, stretching out in a button up shirt.
…wait…how can she sleep in that?
"Mornin' Sierra."
She turned to see me, smiling at me as she replied, "Mornin'. I hope you got a decent night's sleep."
"Well," I stated, "aside from your boyfriend quickly asserting his playboy status to the whole school, I got a decent night of sleep."
I glanced back at my leader, suddenly shivering as she kept her eyes on me. Almost intimidatingly. I felt my body tremble as she walked up to me, smiling and asking, "…what did you say, Delta?"
"E-Echo's b-becoming a p-playboy ag-g-gain," I stammered, suddenly feeling small as she seemed to tower over me. Her smile turned into an evil grin as she stared me down. I swallowed my spit as she suddenly began giggling deviously, suddenly pulling me by the back of my collar.
"S-Sierra!? Wait a moment-!"
"I'm going to teach him a little…'Sierra' lesson," she cut me off, adding an evil sounding laugh at the end of it. I blinked, seeing Lima walking out of the room. She glanced at me, blinking several times as I waved a white flag and mouthed, "…help me…!"
She turned around, saying something to whoever was behind her. Ruby popped her head out of the door, gawking in surprise as Sierra knocked on the door to team ERTH, suddenly appearing before me and pulling me by my arm. I could feel Sierra's evil glare look at Ruby as she struggled to save me.
"Oh," she said, "don't worry, Ruby; I just needed him to be a security blanket!"
…And there's the silent heart again….
Suddenly, Sierra threw me in front of her as Echo opened the door.
"Huh? Delta? You forget something?"
"…dude…."
"What?"
"…run…!"
I could feel Sierra evil grin behind me as she said, "…Echo…Delta tells me that you've been…well…treating your relationship as a…oh, I don't know…a joke?"
I felt a chill run down my spine as Ruby dragged me out of the way. I kept my eyes on Echo, who was practically frozen in place as Sierra reached her hand up to his cheek, stroking it. Her evil glare didn't leave as she said, with a smile on her face, "Give me a reason not to kill you right now!"
"W-w-wait, Sierra," he stammered, waving his hands around, "i-its just a m-misunderstand-!"
Suddenly, she kicked him back into his room, following him and slamming the door shut. I winced at the echo of the slam going through the empty halls as his screams of fear filled the room.
"Who the hell are you!?"
"Stay the fuck out of my way!"
"Wait! Sierra, wait!"
"No waiting, babe!"
"Gyaaaaahh!"
I couldn't help but laugh, hearing Ruby laughing as well at Echo's cries of agony.
"C'mon! Stay still, will ya!? I only need to cut off your balls!"
"Chill, Sierra! Calm down!"
"Hey! Relax!"
"I will! After he's castrated!"
"Wait Sierra—AAHHH! JESUS CHRIST! YOU'RE TRYING TO KILL ME!"
I rolled on the ground, holding my abdomen as I heard Ruby cracking up on the wall nearby.
"Stop struggling! You'll only prolong the inevitable!"
"Wait! Wait! Wait! I can explain!"
"Don't waste your breath, Adonis!"
Next thing I knew, the door flew open as Echo took off down the hall.
Only to be tripped by Sierra several moments later. I stared down the hall after him as Sierra hovered menacingly over him, knife in hand as he attempted to crawl away. I didn't even need to see her face to tell that she was pissed.
Don't worry, cuz. I've been in familiar grounds.
"Wait wait wait!"
"No waiting, lover boy!"
However, just as she went down for the castrating blow, he clapped his hands together and yelled, "I'll take you to dinner tonight!"
She stopped midway, looking up at him.
"…Really…?"
He nodded furiously.
Sierra sighed, putting her knife away as he crawled back to his feet, patting the dust of his clothing.
"But first…."
Echo glanced at her, suddenly taking a kick to the crotch.
We burst out laughing again as he doubled over in pain. Sierra leaned down, patting his back as she said, "That's my knife next time, babe."
"Un…der…stood…," he croaked, cupping himself in misery.
"…and what the hell is going on here?"
I looked up, seeing Hotel towering over me. Yang popped her head from around him, immediately jumping to Ruby, who had just regained her composure. I laughed out what was left in my system as he pat my back and said, "C'mon, get a grip of yourself."
"Yeah," I replied, "you just missed Sierra's attempt to castrate Echo."
Hotel raised an eyebrow in surprise, then said, "Dammit…that would've been funny as hell."
"Damn straight it was," I replied as Sierra skipped over to us, poking Yang on the forehead. Yang blinked in confusion, as did Ruby, turning to Hotel. She smiled, looking back at Yang as se asked, "So you two all made up now?"
"…You could say that," Hotel replied. Yang looked up at him, quickly glancing away. I raised an eyebrow in curiosity, turning back to Hotel as he sighed, walking up to her. Yang turned around, looking at the ground with a frown. I blinked, wondering what could've gone between them last night.
I hope they didn't break up.
However, Hotel pulled her into a hug and asked, "…see you later?"
Yang's eyes seemingly brightened as she returned the embrace, closing them as she replied, "…yeah!"
Oblivious to our presence, the two kissed as Yang began her way back to team RWBY's room, only to be stopped by Hotel.
"I'll walk you back since I'm here," he said to her. Yang shook her head and said, "N-no no! I'm fine!"
"…Nah. I'll walk you back," he said, grabbing her arm, wrapping it around his as they walked the remainder of the distance. I could hear Ruby sigh, causing me to turn to her as she watched me. Very weirdly if you ask me.
"Rubes? Something wrong?"
She remained silent, causing me to grow worried. She was almost never quiet when she talked to me. I reached for her, only to be responded with her shying away from me. I felt something like fire in my chest at the act as she glanced away, clutching her chest.
"Ruby?"
Suddenly, she threw herself at me.
Startled, I caught her on instinct as she snuggled her face into the crook of my neck. I blinked in surprise, looking at Sierra, who seemed just as confused as I was. I then turned to Lima, who was just as confused as Sierra and I were.
"…hold me…tight…," she whispered.
I blinked in confusion, but something in my heart told me to do just that.
I wrapped my arms tightly around her and said, "…I won't let you go."
