Hey guys! Miss me? So, I move into my college dorm room tomorrow and start on the 25th. Be proud. To celebrate the fact that I am furthering my education... here's a new chapter for you all!
For all those interested, Team JNPR does NOT know Blake is a Faunus in this fic.
For all those reading, all RWBY fics were created and thought of BEFORE the beginning of Volume 2, so all details are already hashed out and NOT changing.
Enjoy guys! ^_^
"Wow, it sounds so romantic, Velvet." Organza gushed, a blush painting her cheeks.
"Yes. Interesting that she could choose something so beautiful." Loden agreed, cocking his head from adjusting his hair in the mirror, orange tresses not falling quite the way he wanted.
"Especially after only knowing it was going to snow after a day." Organza mused. "How did she know, anyway? Even the news casters didn't know until later that night."
"It is odd." Velvet nodded. "Usually only Faunus know that it's going to snow before news casters do, but I didn't pick up on anything."
"Perhaps she has a sixth sense?" Loden suggested. "Maybe her semblance is controlling the weather?"
"No, she doesn't get outside enough for that to even remotely make sense." Organza murmured, green eyebrows furrowing in confusion.
After a few moments of thoughtful silence, Eyelet spoke up from her end of the room. "Regardless of semblance, it was still a very nice gesture on Blake's part."
"Yeah!" Organza cheered, turning to her partner. "So, are you convinced that she wants to date you, now?"
Velvet blushed and responded, "I'm not certain. I still don't know if she considers them dates. What if I try to make a move and she rejects me?"
"That's a chance you'll have to take if you want to try being in a relationship." Loden shrugged.
"You won't know if she's interested in trying if one of you doesn't make some sort of move." Eyelet advised, continuing her drawing.
"You're right." Velvet set her jaw and turned on her heel, heading back out.
"Where are you going?" Loden called.
"To ask her out before I lose my resolve." The rabbit-Faunus called over her shoulder before continuing down the hall.
...
"Where did you take her this time?" Ruby asked with an excited grin.
"Off into Emerald Forest." Her Faunus teammate replied nonchalantly.
"Uh, aren't there Ursa and tons of other Grimm in there?" Yang asked, eyebrows furrowed in worry.
"Yes." Blake responded, turning a page in her book.
"That's reckless!" Weiss snapped. "You could have been killed!"
"I wouldn't take Velvet somewhere if I knew it would be dangerous." Her quiet counterpart stated, lifting her eyes from the pages. "Especially if she was weaponless. That wouldn't reflect well on my judgement and would speak little of how much I care for her well-being."
"So, this date was just to show her pretty things?" Yang asked, wanting to diffuse the argument that was bound to crop up between the monochromatic members of the team.
Blake sighed. "It wasn't a date." She told them.
"Do you want to take her on a date?" Ruby asked innocently.
Blake opened her mouth to deny the feeling, but paused, thinking about the question. How did she feel about Velvet? Did she want to become more with the other Faunus?
"I suppose so." She muttered uncertainly.
"What do you mean, you suppose?" Weiss scoffed. "I didn't start dating Ren because I SUPPOSED I liked him enough to date. I was sure."
"I'm still trying to figure out how you two get along." Yang muttered, cocking an eyebrow at the heiress.
"We're both intellectuals with a good taste in art and literature." Weiss huffed contemptuously.
"Right." Yang nodded, rolling her eyes.
"I think the best way to figure out your problem is to face it head on." Ruby informed Blake, ignoring their other two teammates.
"I guess you're right." Blake sighed, setting down her book and standing.
"Where are you going?" Weiss called.
"To face this head on. I'm going to go ask Velvet on a real date."
Her team watched her walk out of the door and shared glances before grinning and sticking their heads out the door to watch.
Velvet rounded the corner onto the hall that housed team Ruby's dormroom and smacked into someone. Glancing up fearfully, she visibly relaxed when she found amber eyes gazing at her apologetically.
"Are you alright?" Blake asked, holding out her hand to help the rabbit-Faunus to her feet.
"Yes, I'm fine." The two stood in silence for a moment, not noticing that the remaining members of both teams were now peeking out of their doors.
"Velvet, I-." Blake was surprised when the lighter brunette held up her hand, but waited for Velvet to be ready.
"Blake, I don't know about you, but..." Velvet took a deep breath. "I've been feeling like we've been growing closer lately."
"I feel the same way." Blake murmured, watching the hesitance play in the other girl's eyes.
"I was wondering if... you would like to go on a date with me... next Saturday." By the time she finished asking, Velvet was shaking, large brown eyes terrified that Blake would reject her.
"I'd love to go out with you, Velvet." The darker brunette murmured softly.
"You would?" Velvet stared at her incredulously and the ninja chuckled.
"Of course. What time?"
"Oh, I'll come to your room at seven. Is that okay?"
"That's perfect. Thank you for asking me out."
Velvet visibly sank in relief as Blake moved in and embraced her warmly. Turning on her heel, Blake waved to her friend before disappearing down her hallway. Velvet let out a breath she had been holding and turned to head back to her own room.
Organza pounced as soon as she got back. "What did she say?" The greenette demanded. "I couldn't hear anything all the way down here."
"I asked her on a date for next Saturday." Velvet giggled, beaming at her partner. "She said yes!"
"That's great news, Velvet!" Organza cheered. "See, I knew all you had to do was take a chance."
"Thanks for pushing me." Velvet smiled at her team before beginning to settle down for the night, the grin never leaving her face as she wondered what she was going to do for Blake next Saturday.
Blake strode back down the hall to Team Ruby's dormroom, finding both her team and Juniper waiting anxiously for her to return.
"How did it go?" Ruby asked, bouncing excitedly.
"Did you ask her out?" Yang inquired.
"Was she sure it was a date?" Jaune asked.
"Was her answer yes?" Nora demanded, large grin firmly in place.
"Whoa!" Weiss called. "Can we please get out of the hallway with this? Let's head inside so Blake can breathe and tell us what happened."
The two teams nodded and convened in Team Ruby's room, sitting on every surface possible and giving the ninja their full attention.
"She asked me out on a date before I could say anything." Blake told them, receiving an applause of squealing from Yang, Nora and Ruby. "We're going out next Saturday and she's coming to get me at seven."
"I'm very happy for your, Blake." Pyrrha told her with a bright smile as Nora laid across her lap, playing with her girlfriend's red tresses idly.
"Yeah!" Nora piped up. "Now we'll see cute little black rabbits running around!"
Everyone blushed at this and Ren sighed. "She's adamant that babies come from storks."
"Don't they?" Ruby asked, to which everyone in the room avoided her eyes while Yang patted her hand.
"Of course they do, Rubes." The blonde told her softly.
"So then a date for next Saturday?" Jaune asked.
"Yeah." Blake replied, beginning to read one of her novels.
"Well, we're all happy for you, Blake." He said, shooting her a grin before leading his team out.
"Us too." Ruby cheered, beaming at her teammate. "It's nice to see you smiling for once."
"Thank you." Blake murmured, continuing with her book as her mind spiraled around next Saturday.
And there you go. I bet you guys are wondering what Velvet has planned, huh? You'll just have to wait and see!
