Neir POV
simple distRactions
With a week before our first mission and a little downtime before the teachers have a talk with Ruby and me, a peaceful morning walk outdoors seems like the best use of my time.
So that's what I'm doing for no particular reason, going on a peaceful walk outdoors.
*Stomp*
I'm on a peaceful power walk outdoors trying to work up a sweat for no particular reason.
*Stomp Stomp Stomp*
I'm on a peaceful jog outdoors because I wanted to pick up the pace.
*STOMP STOMP STOMP*
I'm on a peaceful run outdoors because I wanna get away from a certain someone.
"NEIIIIIIIIIIIR!"
I'm on a peaceful sprint outdoors trying to escape a very very scary woman.
Alright, so maybe not so peaceful.
At a dangerously close distance away from me, Yang runs like a raging beast with reddened eyes only for me. Testing my theory, I shoot her a wink like waving a bloodstained flag at a deathbull.
Reacting just how I expect her to she leaps dozens of feet into the air, barreling through the sky to and directly toward me.
Narrowly do I dive through my door right as the ground below me explodes. My door shuts and I breathe a sigh of relief, laying spread eagle on the floor.
As I wipe off my sweat, someone's shadow covers me.
"Uhm, are you alright Neir?" Ruby asks, brows furrowed and eyes concerned.
"Yeah, totally."
*ping*
Ah, a text, I wonder who it could be?
[YOU'RE NOT ESCAPING FROM ME NEIR!!!]
Hmm, it could be a spam message, right?
[-Signed, Yang Xiao Long]
Okay, I'm fucked.
"Are you sure you're alright? You're sweating a lo-"
"Hey Red, I just had a great idea!" I exclaim as I jump to my feet plant my hands on her shoulders.
She blinks rapidly, trying to comprehend the situation as she meets my eyes.
"Y-Yeah?"
"How about we head over to my workshop, I could use some help with some new parts I scrounged up!"
At the words 'workshop', and 'parts' Ruby's eyes glimmer like precious gems.
It's a good thing she's so receptive to the idea, because I hear heavy footsteps coming our way.
She must have tracked my scent!
"Close your eyes Red!" I hurriedly usher her as a door opens in front of us.
She closes her eyes. "Neir, why do I hear bos-" I cut her off by shoving her through the door as our dorm room entrance busts open.
Yang's eyes land on me, her hands curl into tightly wounded fists as she paws the floor with her soot getting ready to charge.
"I'm borrowing your sister, bye!" I flash a smile at Yang before dashing through the door, a primal roar following close behind.
The door slams behind me and I land in a pitch black room. I pat my body, making sure I'm still alive, only breathing a sigh of relief after a minute of silence. Yeah, there's no way she'll find her way here, only one other person know how to get here after all.
