Chapter 17: Mountain Glenn

With the cool night breeze blowing through his locks of black hair and his wolf ears twitching from the sounds of the distance Beowolf howls, Akito sat on top of the roof of the building the rest of the group set up camp in. The main reason for him being up here was just that the atmosphere inside just felt too tense, mainly from Yang, Weiss and Blake. So he decided to stay up there for a moment, just to breath in some fresh air... but to also take some time to think by himself, mainly concerning his whole situation with Blake.

Winter: "Brother."  The wolf Faunus looked towards his right, spotting a slight glow as the eldest of his sisters appeared before him.

Akito: "Didn't expect you to be awake, Winter."

Winter: "Well as the eldest of our sisters, I must make sure my younger sisters are soundly asleep first."  She said placing a hand on her chest as she had on a proud smile. Seeing that expression caused Akito to smile and chuckle. She blue-haired female saw her brother's expression and couldn't help but smile, mainly because she hasn't seen such a genuine smile from him in a while, but even then, she knew she had to try and talk to him.  "Is everything alright, Akito?"

Akito: "Mm? Yeah, everything's fine—"  She cuts him off.

Winter: "I meant everything with you and Blake."  He blinked and stayed silent, with a small sigh. Noticing this, she sat down next to him.  "C'mon, you know you can talk to me."  He sighed.

Akito then proceeded to tell Winter about everything that had happened between him and Blake. He did mention the kiss they had and gave hints towards the activities they had, without being too direct. Then he mentioned the morning after the dance, when he had walked in on her going into the shower and how awkward things have been with them. To say that Winter was surprised, was an overstatement. In fact, it seemed like she already knew.

Winter: "Hmm..."

Akito: "I just... don't understand anymore. Like, we kissed and we had sex! So why in the living Cock Dwable am I freaking about this and being so awkward around her now!?"  He exclaimed before he face palmed and sighed deeply.  "*sigh* I know this is pathetic... freaking about something that should be so easy. I guaranteed if the others knew, they'd be just like 'just get together already!'."

Winter: "Actually, I disagree."  The wolf looked at her.  "I've... never really been in love before, but after observing new couples in the world and reading countless romance novels, I think I've grasped a general idea. It's true, at this stage it probably would make the most sense to just get together, but it's not as simple as that. I've heard of two people doing the same thing but only ending up as friends with benefits.  From my knowledge, the action you guys do doesn't determine whether you two should make things official. It should be decided by your hearts. So brother, I'm going to ask you this... How much do you love Blake?"

There was a brief silence as Akito stared at his sister, before he released a calm sigh and looked up to the sky.

Akito: "A lot... Honestly, we'd be here forever if I was to list off everything I... love about her.. But... Ah what the heck, I sound like one of those cringy Main Protagonists from Romance Novels."  From his response, the younger sister began to laugh from his statements, but she had a warm smile.

Winter: "But it's nice to hear you being so honest and considerate with your feelings. Now is the question on whether you'll confess to her or not."

Akito: "Well... it'll be a bit awkward to do considering..."

Winter: "I understand, you don't have to rush it. Just listen and follow your heart. Besides, if Blake reciprocated those actions, then there is no doubt she likes you too. She's just, like you, too awkward to say it, especially after what happened."  She paused for a moment before she snapped her fingers with realization.  "Ah! I got it!"
