RWBY: Jurassic Rage

Recovery

In the cafeteria, Eddie and the Raptors were eating there breakfast. Delta and Charlie were playing with their food, the former looking the grumpiest of the two, Blue was eating with her eyes closed and Echo just looked down solemnly at her food while she ate, Eddie was barely touching his food. Team RWBY came over... or... Team RWY came over..? 

 Eddie: hey girls... where's Blake...?

Yang: She's been obsessing over that Roman guys deal with the White Fang. She's currently at the library trying to find a plan to bring them down.

Eddie: Still..? sigh the poor girls gonna end up killing herself over exhaustion..

Echo: I really hope it doesn't come to that.

Weiss: We've tried talking to her, she won't listen to us... 

Charlie then shot up. 

 Charlie: I know who she will listen to! But... i-its a gamble...

They all looked at her, Eddie knowing EXACTLY who she was talking about.

Eddie: ...... Ian...

Echo: he did help her before, she would reasonably listen to him.

Blue: and we all know how much She and Weiss are crushin on him.

Weiss grew bright red from this. 

 Weiss: I-I AM NOT!!

Delta: suuure you're not, honey.

They laughed a bit at this. 

 Eddie: hehehe.. I'll see if I can convince him to talk to her.

Ruby: Thanks guys!

Charlie: you're welcome Ruby.

Yang: speaking of, how is the big lug...?

Delta: Well he says he doesn't hate us.. but we can tell he's still pretty hurt after last night.

Eddie: sigh We may never look at each other the same way again...

???: would you stop speaking like that...?! Ya acting like I was murdered!

They all looked up with surprised expressions. Ian was walking over, dressed in his uniform and looking in playful annoyance.

Charlie: IAN!!!!

He got tackle hugged by the hyper active raptor, bringing her into a small spin before she climbed on his back and held herself up on his shoulders. 

 Ian: hahaha, hey Charlie

Yang: Ian! So Glad you're here!!

Ian: why, is everyone acting like I came from the dead? 

 He shook his head and sat down with his team. 

 Ian: so whats going on?

Eddie: Blake's working herself to death... she won't listen to her team, and most likely won't listen to me either..

Ian: so you need me to talk some sense into her...

Yang: It's worth a shot... She does have a crush on you and you did help her already.

He blushed a bit and smiled. 

 Ian: I'll do it. But let me eat something first.

Ruby: dig in!!

He suddenly had a bowl of pork noodles in front of him, courtesy of her which he dug into.

Time Skip. 

 Blake was scratching her head, having bags under her eyes as she 'studied' in the library.. Everything was silent until her spine shivered from a gentle lick on her nape, courtesy of Ian.

Blake: A-Ah!! 

 She turned to look at him. He looked at her, his lips curled up as his tongue's tip stuck out a bit in a kind of blep.

Blake: I-Ian.. why would you-

Ian: cuz I've been waiting for 20 minutes, standing next to you waiting for you to notice my presence. If I had been a member of the White Fang, thats 20 minutes to think of how I could have killed you, if I hadn't just lopped your head off when I had gotten next to you.

Blake: ..... what? 

 Ian: we need to talk. 

 He yoinked her away.

He pulled her out of the library and carried her out into the forest.

Blake: what are we doing out here Ian? I need to get back to-

Ian: What you need to do, is to get yourself some rest.

Blake: I won't.. not until I find out what's going on.

Ian: No you won't. Once you figure out a plan, you'll haul yourself half dead into a battle field trying to take them down.

Blake looked at him. 

 Blake: I'll stop them!

Ian: by killing yourself?!

That was the first time he had raised his voice at her. She actually took a step back.

Ian:... You're in no shape to fight... you know this and this just frustrates you even more... thats why you're over working yourself...

Blake: ............

Ian took a step back and transformed, calmly closing his jaws on the back of her shirts collar and lifting her up before he curled up into a sleeping position, dropping her against his chest, the sound of his heartbeat instantly catching her ears.

Blake: ....so.... I just sleep now...?

Ian: Sleep... rest, or pour your heart out to me... whatever you choose, I won't let you do it on your own...

His head slowly moved so his eye could look at her, his pupil wide and calm.

She looked up at him, her body gradually getting heavier...

He gave her a dino's equivalent of a smile and nodded at her. 

 Ian: You can let your guard down, Kitty cat... let me protect you for a while...

She looked at him for a bit more... then... fell asleep. He closed his eyes and kept her safe as she rested, the sound of the forest around them as she took a well deserved rest.
