Battle Scars (Yang x Male Reader) RWBY Vol. 2

The Talk

You were in your room getting dressed in another school uniform to replace the one that was made a mess by the food fight you had a few minutes ago. While you did so you heard a knock at your door. 

Yang: y/n are you ready?

y/n: Just a second.

You threw your dirty clothes into your hamper and opened your door to see Yang with her arms crossed waiting patiently. She still had a serious look on her face. 

y/n: Look. Yang I-

Yang: I want to talk in private.

You paused for a moment wondering what Yang might want to talk about. 

y/n: ...Alright.

You followed Yang to one of the classrooms that wasn't being used. 

Yang: Ok. Now I need you to tell me what's going on. 

y/n: About what?

Yang put her hands on her hips and leaned forward.

Yang: About what's troubling you! First I find out that you're refusing to use your semblance minutes after we get the team back together and now you're refusing to tell me what has you on the edge. You would always say that we need to work together and now you're keeping secrets from us. What's gotten into you?

You started to feel guilty but you were still afraid to tell Yang why you weren't using your semblance or about the murders of White Fang members. 

y/n: Yang... It's not that I don't trust you... It's just...

Yang: Just what? Does it have to do with the White Fang?

y/n: Well... yes. But-

Yang: y/n. If the White Fang is a problem we can face them together like we did last time. 

y/n: No. Yang that's not it. 

Yang: Then what is!?

You let out a frustrated sigh and Yang's face became a little less serious as she let out a sad sigh. 

Yang: y/n look. I'm not mad at you. I just want to help you and you trying to keep things a secret from me is making it difficult to do that. 

Yang then walked up and hugged you. 

Yang: You're my boyfriend and I care a lot about you. So please tell me what's wrong.

You hugged Yang back for a moment and let her comfort you.

y/n: Alright.

Yang then backed up and looked up to you with a patient smile. 

y/n: Someone I knew in the White Fang was murdered. 

Yang's face went to shock.

Yang: What!?

y/n: He was a man named Tukson and he was a teacher.

Yang: Why would a teacher join the White Fang?

y/n: The White Fang wasn't always violent Yang. But even before it was violent he did steal books for his students. A lot of faunus weren't able to get a good education because schools would reject faunus in a lot of towns or even entire kingdoms. So most of the time parents would have to homeschool their children but on occasion, people like Tukson would volunteer as a teacher. He was a thief but he stole to give faunus children chances at a better future.

Yang: Why would he be killed then?

y/n: It may have been because he was trying to escape to Vaccuo the police found he recently bought a ticket to travel there.

Yang: So, the White Fang kills people that leave it?

y/n: No I... I at least hope they don't. They've become violent but I still don't think they would have turned violent towards their own kind. I think it's because of Roman Torchwic.

Yang pondered for a moment on what you said.

Yang: He didn't seem to care much about the White Fang when they were helping him out.

You clenched your fist in rage. 

y/n: No he didn't.

Yang then looked up to you with an eager face.

Yang: Well we won't know until we confront him again. 

y/n: Huh?

Yang then eagerly clenched her fist next to her face.

Yang: We're gonna find that Roman Torchwic again and make sure he doesn't do anything like that again! 

Yang then raised her fist into the air. 

Yang: Just you wait Roman Tochwic! Team RWBY is coming after you!

You couldn't help but smile at Yang's spirit. Yang seemed to notice you smiling and walked up to you again as she put her hands on your shoulders. 

Yang: There's that handsome smile I love. 

You put your hands on Yang's shoulders as well. 

y/n: I think it's impossible not to smile with you around.

Yang giggled and kissed you. You both enjoyed your kiss for a moment before backing away for breath. Yang then looked to the side and seemed to think for a moment as her face became serious again. She then fixed her gaze back at you.

Yang: y/n?

y/n: Yes?

Yang: If you're up for it. Would you tell me why you haven't been using your semblance?

You froze up. You still were afraid of talking about why you weren't using your semblance.

y/n: I... I'm sorry but... I'm just not ready for that.

Yang sighed sadly. But she put on a patient smile and held your hand. 

Yang: Alright. You can tell me when you're ready. Ok, babe?

You felt a little happier because Yang called you "babe" again.

y/n: Ok.

Yang: Good.

Yang then gave you a peck on the cheek and started leading you out of the classroom. 

Yang: Come on. Let's go see what my sister has planned for us. 

y/n: What kind of stuff does she usually plan? 

Yang: Hopefully nothing dangerous this time. 

y/n: Wait. What do you mean this time?

You then went about your day spending time with your teammates. You all spent time strengthening your bond as a team.

*So I decided to give Tukson a bit of backstory here to kind of give an idea of why a person would join the White Fang to humanize it a bit. I just thought it was good for the story. Anyway, let me know if you guys have any critiques. Hope you all enjoy the story! Thanks for all your support!*
