The stars falling (RWBY Male Reader X Winter Schnee)

Almost there

Cole- Y'know, I'm kind of getting used to having halved vision in my eye.

Winter- We should get you a prescription monocle. You'd look very adorable.

Cole- Eh, maybe. I'll stick with it being half useless for now.

Putting your hand over your damaged eye and moving it away, you hum.

Cole- Ah well. We should get to the council chambers. James is probably waiting.

Winter- You're right. I almost forgot. I'll call a car.

Cole- Alright. Hey, what does the eye actually look like?

She grabs your face gently and looks at the eye with a smile.

Winter- Well, it looks like a normal eye, but rather grey-ish. The doctor said that was because of the infection.

Cole- Hm. Is it cool?

Chuckling, she slaps your cheek softly.

Winter- You look handsome as always, Cole.

Cole- You flatter me, my love.

The car pulls up and you both get in.

Cole- Council chambers. Priority.

Driver- Yes Doctor.

The drive is quiet and smooth, with you both looking out the windows. The sun is shining, not a cloud in the sky and it's warmer than usual in the city of Atlas.

A lovely day, overall.

The car stops at the chambers and you both get out. James and Penny walk over.

Penny- Cole Rose!

The ginger flies into your arms and laughs, green eyes glittering as always.

Cole- Penny! How are you!?

She lets go of you and smiles.

Penny- I am fantastic! Are you ready for the council meeting!?

Cole- Very much so. Are you joining us?

Penny- I am! There is a big surprise for you in there, too!

Cole- A surprise?

James- Alright, Penny. Go ahead of us. We'll catch up. You as well, Winter.

Winter- Yes sir.

They leave, and James takes your hand and places something in it.

James- I'm sorry, I have to place another burden on your shoulders.

Your smile drops.

Cole- What is it?

James- Until the election this time next year, we need a council member taking Jacques' place. So-

Cole- Me? In the council?

James- Temporarily. Your duties would be less demanding as ours, but you will be required to attend council meetings. Whether that be virtually or physically, it's your choice.

Cole- James... this is too much.

James- I know. But there is no other alternative. We need someone taking Jacques' position.

Cole- What about that lady in Mantle? Robyn Hill?

James- She hasn't responded to any of our offers, so we can only assume her denial.
