Journey of a lifetime: Male Reader x RWBY

Prologue PT 2- History has its eyes on you

(Y/N POV)

as tears streamed down Y/N's cheeks as he read his father's heartfelt letter. The realization that he was now on his own, left to navigate the world without his father's guidance, weighed heavily on his young heart. It was a bittersweet moment, as the words of love and encouragement from his dad gave him strength and determination.

He wiped away his tears and took a deep breath, his resolve solidifying. Y/N knew he needed to honour his father's wishes, run fast, be brave, and, above all, be kind. The letter was a reminder of the responsibility that had been thrust upon him, and he was determined to make his parents proud.

{TIME-SKIP}- 14-YEAR-OLD Y/N

The days in Menagerie were not always easy, and we faced our fair share of challenges. As we grew older, our understanding of the world deepened, and the complexities of life as Faunus became more apparent. We encountered prejudice, discrimination, and sometimes even hostility from those who couldn't see beyond our animal features.

Despite the hardships, our group remained a source of strength. We supported each other through thick and thin, always finding solace in the bond we had forged. Blake's wisdom, Adam's passion, Ilia's loyalty, John's kindness, Ava's resilience, and Sienna's leadership became pillars that held us together.

Amidst the struggle, a subtle change took root within the group. Y/N and Blake, once close friends, found their connection evolving into something deeper. Their shared experiences, the understanding they had of each other's pain, and the common goal of overcoming prejudice drew them closer. The blossoming romance between Y/N and Blake became a beacon of hope, a testament to the possibility of love transcending the boundaries set by society.

However, not everyone in the group celebrated this newfound connection. Adam, whose passion often teetered on the edge of obsession, watched from the shadows with a growing sense of jealousy. Blake, who had once been the center of his world, was now sharing her heart with another. The green-eyed monster within Adam fueled a dangerous rivalry between him and Y/N.

As the days passed, the tension escalated. Adam's once passionate demeanour turned into a smouldering resentment. Y/N, unaware of the brewing animosity, continued to navigate the challenges of being a Faunus in a world that often misunderstood them. The clash between love and jealousy, understanding and resentment, loyalty and rivalry, painted an intricate tapestry that would shape the destiny of our group in ways we could not foresee. The shadows whispered secrets of an impending storm, and little did we know that our unity would face its greatest test yet.

As Y/N and Blake's romance blossomed, the subtle glances and shared moments became more pronounced. Their connection was a beacon of warmth in the midst of Menagerie's challenges. However, the watchful eyes of jealousy were not blind to this growing affection.

One evening, as the group gathered around a flickering campfire, the air thick with tension, Adam confronted Y/N in the shadows. His eyes glowed with an unsettling mix of envy and anger, and his voice dripped with a venomous tone.

"You think you can just waltz in and take everything from me, don't you?" Adam sneered, his grip tightening on his weapon.

Confusion etched across Y/N's face, uncertain of the depth of Adam's resentment. Unbeknownst to Y/N, Adam had harboured feelings for Blake, feelings that had twisted into possessiveness. The blossoming romance had shattered his illusions, and now a storm of rage brewed within him.

Blake, sensing the tension, rushed over, trying to defuse the situation. However, Adam's jealousy had already ignited a rivalry that would set the stage for tumultuous days to come.
