Summer's POV

What just happened? Did Raven just admit that she was in love with (Y/N)? And she also thought I was interested in (Y/N)? Raven seemed to be just as shocked as I was by her declaration because she instantly clamped her mouth shut and stiffened her whole body. We stand there for a minute or so as the Grimm rampage around the village.

"D-did you just say that you l-love (Y/N)?" My voice squeaks as I say that.

"Y-yes." She stuttered. With a blush on her face. Raven Branwen, the highest ranked student in combat class, the girl who I have seen scare a Beowolf away with her glare alone, and one of the most intimidating people I have ever come to know, just stuttered in embarrassment. Oh, my Oum she's telling the truth! And she told me of all people! Before she could say or do anything I rush her and hug her tight.

"Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh! Have you told him? Oh, this explains so much, like why you always seem to be watching him or why you always glare when Indigo and Dodger try and flirt with him. Oh, you two would look so cute together!" Before I could continue any farther Raven grabs my arms and forces me away. She looks me straight in the eyes before speaking.

"Summer."

"Yeah."

"Calm." After she said that I realize that I was getting so excited and talking so fast that I forgot to breathe. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. After that, I open my eyes and signal to her that she can let me go. After she sets me down she begins again. "Look I admit it. I love (Y/N). I have for a while now and it is because of those feelings that I may have viewed the interactions between the two of you with a... less than mature perspective." She looks away after saying that. Is she embarrassed? "So know that I am sorry." ... She just apologized. First she admits she loves (Y/N), then she gets embarrassed, and now she apologizes. This must be the end of the world. "Now let's move." With those words, she shook me out of my little trance. After recovering I noticed she was already moving towards the center of town and quickly moved to catch up with her.

"Raven?" I got a side glance in response. "Why haven't you told (Y/N) how you feel?"

"I can't..."

"Why?" She moved faster as if to outrun me. Oh no, I spend so much time trying to get her to open up to me. I am not just letting her hide away like a turtle in its shell. "Raven why can't you tell him? (Y/N) is a nice guy he wouldn't be upset or anything like that." She stops.

"I... I don't know what I would do if I tell him and he doesn't like me back." She looks down at the ground avoiding my gaze as if I am upset at her or something. I grab her shoulders and gently shake her to make her look at me. When she does I can see the fear in her eyes.

"But if you never tell him how you feel somebody else might get him."

"But what if he doesn't like me?"

"But what if he does?" This is so weird. I never thought that I would be comforting Raven Branwen but here I am. After a moment of silence Raven final speaks.

"I will consider what you have said. Could you please not tell anyone?" I nod my head.

"I won't tell anyone."

"Thank you. Now we should go regroup." Raven starts to move again. Staying where I am I quietly cheer to myself.

"Yes!"
