Tell Tale Heart . . . (Wilbur Soot x RWBY) Volume Two [Hiatus]

Volume Two Premier: Books and Literature Part One

(3rd Person POV)

Wilbur and Blake were in the library together. They sat on a lovely plush couch, close to each other as they silently read Ninjas of Love 2: A Sneaky Sequal.

Blake blushed as they read, but it wasn't because of the book.

Recently, Blake noticed that Wilbur was being super attentive toward her and took any chance he could to hang out with her.

Ruby had noticed this earlier and asked Wilbur, who promptly said that it was his duty as Co-Leader to be more available to his team. Ruby seemingly took his word as that.

Blake felt Wilbur wasn't telling the whole truth. She's been noticing other things about him as well. How he remains calm in the face of combat, the rather excitable tone he takes when he is elaborating on a subject to others, and the more somber tone he adopts when something reminds him of home.

She knew she had feelings for him, and him for her, but she was scared of what would happen if she was mistaken, or what if he ends up like him.

So she had reluctantly decided to try and suppress her feelings. It would be best if they just remained as friends

Wilbur, on the other hand, noticed that Blake was acting more coy and shy around him. While Blake was usually the quiet type, she acted even more so around him. He felt like he might have scared her by showing her his past.

He knows why he cares if he scared her, he wasn't stupid, but he was wasn't completely familiar with matters of love outside of literature.

Wilbur knows he cares deeply for her, but he isn't completely sure how he should approach his dilema.

For now he just wants to spend as much time with her as he can.

"What are you guys reading?" Ruby had appeared from behind them.

Wilbur slammed the book shut and Blake's blush deepened to the same color as Ruby's cape.

"Oh! Uh- Just some poetry. Is there something you need?" Ruby smiled.

"Yep! I have an announcement for all of team RWWBY, meet me in the cafeteria for lunch!"

Ruby then ran off.

Wilbur turned to Blake and gave an awkward smile.

"That was close- like really close- I don't know what I would've said if she wanted to hear- she wanted to hear a line or- you know." Blake only nodded in response, her face still a blushing mess.

They just sat there in close proximity as they tried to calm down from almost exposing Ruby to not so innocent material.

All while enjoying each other's presence.

<===[Scene Change]===>
(3rd Person POV)

In the dorm of team RWWBY, Friend was jumping on top of a sleeping Yang who was still in a deep sleep.

In Friend's mouth was a letter addressed to Yang from her younger sister.

Friend gave up in his attempt and got off from on top of her. Then Friend's eyes lit up in realization. He put the letter down on a desk and slowly walked toward Yang.

His jaw opened as his mouth neared her hair. Slowly he picked up a small bunch and held it firmly in his teeth.

Friend then pulled as hard as he could.

In an instant he was thrown out of the window. Yang was now wide awake, but didn't seem to realize what just happened.

She then saw the letter addressed to her, she then opened it and read the contents.

Operation "Book Club" is a go!
-Your sister Ruby

P.S. Give Friend one of my cookies once you get this, he's been such a big help.

Yang stared at the letter realizing what she meant. Then realized that she hasn't seen the blue lamb yet.

"Baaa!"

Yang turned around and saw Friend barely hanging onto the tree outside of the window.

(3rd Person POV)

Team RWWBY + Friend now sat at a table inside of the cafeteria.

Yang had been catching grapes that Nora has been tossing at her while they waited for Ruby.

Blake and Wilbur were looking at notes and theories for possible locations for White Fang activity.

Weiss was eating.

"Whatcha guys doing?" Yang asked. Blake shut the notebook before Wilbur responded.

"We were just going over notes from last semester."

"Lame." Yang caught another grape.

Wilbur could heard Nora giggle as she continued to toss grapes at Yang with her spoon. Yang continued to catch the fruit with ease, and gave Nora a thumbs up.

Ruby, now arriving, slamed a huge binder onto the table, catching everyone off guard. On the cover of the binder is written Vytal Festival Activities, Property of Weiss Schnee. Which had been hastily crossed out with a red marker pen, and with the same pen, a new title, Best Day Ever Activities, has been written over it. Ruby then cleared her throat before beginning.

"Sister . . . friends . . . Weiss-"

"Hey!" Weiss remarked.

"-Four score and seven minutes ago, I had a dream."

"This ought to be good." Yang said catching another grape.

"A dream that one day, the six of us will come together, as a team, and have the most fun anyone has ever had . . . Ever!" Wilbur realized she was counting Friend who was eating off what was Ruby's plate. Weiss finally recognized the binder.

"Did you steal my binder?" Wilbur chuckled.

"I'm not a crook!" Ruby stated.

"What are you talking about?" Blake asked.

"I'm talking about kicking off the semester with a bang!" Ruby said excitedly.

"I always kick my semesters off with a Yang! Eh? Guys? Am I right?" Wilbur slightly groaned and chuckled at Yang's pun.

An apple is thrown and hits Yang in the face. Yang recovers and glares toward Nora who is booing her.

"Look guys, it's been a good two weeks and between more exchange students arriving and the tournament at the end of the year, our second semester is going to be great! But, classes start back up tomorrow! Which is why I've taken the time to schedule a series of wonderful events for us today." Ruby looked super determined.

"I don't know whether to be proud or scared of what you have in store." Wilbur nodded in agreement.

Yang, meanwhile, picked up a different apple and tossed it across the room. Across the room, an unfamiliar voice shouts as Nora giggled.

"I don't know. I think I might sit this one out." Blake said before she looked at Wilbur for his reaction. He looked slightly disappointed.

"Sit out or not, I think that however we spend this last day, we should do it as a team!" Weiss exclaimed. She did not hear the voice of an excited Nora. "I for one think that-"

Weiss was interrupted by a pie to the face.

Chaos ensued.
