"Dialogue"

[Velvet Scarlatina]

PING!

A message?

"Is Coco in need of something?"

I'm not the type of person with many friends, so only the members of my team send me messages, especially Coco with her atrocious memes.

I unlocked the device, expecting to see the face of the CFVY team leader with her sunglasses down, blinking at the camera. But a pleasant surprise awaited me.

"Jaune!" I exclaimed upon seeing the face of the blond boy who helped me by eating a rib bone.

We exchanged contacts on the day he helped me, but I was too cowardly to send him a message.

He-he, he looks so happy eating in the photo, as if he were a dog who got a bone from his owner. I managed to get this photo from the official Beacon students' forum. I will be forever grateful to you, Knightshade, for posting this photo.

Hey Velvet, how are you?

Here's the deal, my partner is driving me crazy about my clothes, so I wanted to know if your offer still stands.]

Clothes?

Thinking about it, I had offered to help him get better equipment.

Jaune wears simple clothes for someone who is a trainee Hunter, sneakers, a white shirt outlining his chest, and those tight jeans on his butt...

...

A droplet of saliva trickles down my chin and falls onto my hand, snapping me out of my reverie.

"Huh?!"

Was I daydreaming about a man again? Darn!

This isn't new for me... but it has never happened while I was thinking about a human.

I replied to his message, inviting him to come to my room to take measurements.

PING!

{Prince Charming

Thanks, Vel. I'll be there in about 15 minutes.}

"Hi-hi, he called me 'Vel-.'"

My thought is cut short when I realize what I just did.

"I invited the lad I like to come to my room."

It's just me in the room, but I wasn't prepared for visitors.

I had just returned from the gym and was sweaty. I rushed to the shower and took a quick bath. When I stepped out of the bathroom, I looked at the room and realized it was not in a condition to receive guests.

Everyone on the team is responsible and keeps their part of the room clean, except for...

"Fox..." The name slipped out of my mouth like venom from an Obsidian Fang attack.

His bed looked like it had been hit by a bomb of dirty clothes. The rest of the team didn't question his lack of organization in the early days of school due to his blindness, but after so much time, no one on the team had the courage to confront him about it.

What do I do? He's arriving in less than 5 minutes.

I would rather not be rude and touch his things, not to mention I would rather not touch anyone's dirty clothes.

...

"Well, maybe Jaune can-."

THWACK!

I was interrupted by a loud thud at the door.
