The Pacifist Who Could End the World (RWBY X Male Reader)

Chapter 24 - A Sign of Depression

I couldn't get the truth off my mind; all this time, it was Ozpin pulling the strings; I should have expected that, to be all honest. Even so, I'm left dumbfounded; the same events play out repeatedly, just with a different face—First Adam and now Oz. While I didn't like it, I had no choice but to just accept this fact for now and buy my time.

Lying back on my bed, I sighed, reaching into a plastic bag with a smug look. "I suppose I can overlook this endeavour for a few days, thanks to this bad boy!" Then, taking out a game, I began rolling around over the moon. "Deity of Conflict: Judgement day... I've been waiting for this bad boy forever! Time to hibernate away for weeks, slaying monsters, Gods and demons alike with my boy alongside me! All the bad shit makes up for this!"

Crawling to my game console, I placed out all the snacks I had prepared, spaced out, ready for the gaming goodness. Popping the disc in, I waited for the update to download, only to hear the door knock. I chose to ignore it, but it only got worse. Finally, groaning, I rolled over, opening the door. "What?!"

I was surprised to see Weiss standing with her arms folded. She looked up at me, tutting. "About time you answered; you're not busy. Pfft, of course, you're not busy. Come on; we're going into town."

"Huh?" I bark, confused. "I'm lost; what's going on?"

"What does it look like? We're going into town."

"I don't need to go into town, thank you. I've actually got plans, so if you don't want mi-." I try and cut off, only for Weiss to pry her foot into the doorway. "You really don't get a hint, do you?"

"Your video games aren't going anywhere; you shut in. Most people would strive to spend the day with a Schnee."

"Good thing I'm not most people... Will the others be there?"

"No. As I said, just you and me."

Leaning against the door, I smirked, arms crossed. "Ooh, so you're asking me out on a date. I'm flattered; I didn't know you saw me that way, snowflake."

"Ha! Don't be absurd. If you must know, Atlas is having a showcase this afternoon, and well, my sister believed it would be a good idea to put your mind at rest over the matter."

"I suppose she does owe me a proper apology... And I guess I should probably see Atlas' tech first hand." I groan, turning to my gaming setup deflated. "I seriously cannot catch a break. Come in; I need to get changed."

Leaving the door open, I went into the bathroom with a set of clothes allowing Weiss to make herself at home. Poking my head through the door, I began speaking up. "What does Atlas intend to show today, by the way?"

"Well, you've already witnessed it first hand. Remember the mech Torchwick stole?"

Stepping out of the bathroom in my regular clothes, I scoff. "How could I not? It was a hunk of junk."

"Yes, well, Torchwick wasn't exactly trained to use it effectively now." Weiss points out holding my copy of Deity of Conflict: Judgement day. "They made another of these?"

"You know Deity of Conflict?"

"My brother enjoys these time wasters; after everything that happened, you're locking yourself away to play video games? How sad."

"Sorry, we cannot be all so perfect like you, Weiss." I snap, taking the game back. "I think I've earned some time off to kick back and relax. I bet you've never spent a moment of your life doing that... How many other siblings do I not know about."

"That's all of them." She replied, not rising to my remarks. "Are we done? Can we go now?"

"Sure thing, lead the way, ice queen."
