3rd Person

Its almost been a week since Y/n talked with Pyrrha and since then Y/n been doing better. He still has nightmares, and they still affect him badly, but now and then there are days when Y/n can rest easy and sleep in peace. Although he now talks regularly with Team Jnpr, he has still evaded Team Rwby especially Ruby herself.

Y/N P.O.V

We're walking with Ms. Goodwitch through Forever Falls, she talking about collecting tree sap but I'm not paying attention. I keep looking at Jaune and Cardin. Since a week ago those two have been acting 'friendly' with each other. I have a gut feeling this isn't true, most likely some form of blackmail Cardin has on Jaune. *But what could Cardin have? The only thing Jaune has to hide is....* It hits me the fake transcripts! *But how did he find out?* I push that thought aside and look back at Ms. Goodwitch who is still explaining what we are doing on the trip.

Glynda: Yes, students, the forest of Forever Fall is indeed beautiful. But we are not here to sight-see. Professor Peach has asked all of you to collect samples from the trees deep inside this forest, and I'm here to make sure none of you die while doing so.

She then tells us to spread out and to watch out for Grimm. I see Jaune and Cardin's group start to walk off, I try following them, but out of nowhere Yang grabs me and drags me in the other direction.

Y/N: Uhh..Yang, could you let me go, please?

Yang says nothing and continues to drag me until we reach the rest of team Rwby. They were in the middle of collecting sap, and that's when Ruby chimed in.

Ruby: Yang there you are! Let's go we need to finish collecting the sap!

Yang says nothing and grabs and starts to drag Ruby as well as me, passing by the rest of the team.

Ruby: Uh..Yang where are you taking us?

Yang continues to say nothing and after a bit of being dragged along she stops lets us go and glares at us.

Yang: I'm going to go collect sap while you two are finally going to talk. I'll be back in a bit.

With that Yang walks off and I'm left awkwardly with Ruby. We're just standing there. I eventually start to walk away put Ruby grabs my arm while keeping her head down.

Ruby: Hey...Y/n? Can we talk for a bit?

I sigh, I knew this would happen eventually I've probably caused a lot of stress for Ruby and her team. I go over to a nearby tree and sit down under it, and Ruby sits next to me in silence.

Y/N: So what do you wanna talk about?

Ruby looks up with tears in her eyes.

Ruby: You've been avoiding me and my team lately, so I've been wondering. Did I do something wrong? Did I do something to hurt you? I know you've been having nightmares recently, and it's affecting you, and I want to help but...

My heart sinks. *Poor Ruby, I've been avoiding her for so long she thinks that she's become part of the problem, well, to be honest, her being around me is what's resurfacing memories*I bury that thought away. I look at Ruby and grab her hand. She goes a bit pink at this and looks at me.

Y/N: Petals none of what's happening is your fault, I've just been..well. It'd be better if I showed you. *I lead her hands to my glasses. I closed my eyes and activated my Semblance.

*Sight On

Ruby looks at me waiting for permission. I just nod my head, and Ruby takes off my glasses revealing the bags under my eyes. They aren't as bad as when Pyrrha saw them, but it's still not a pleasant sight. Ruby face just grows with concern. I try to say something, to come up with a clever joke but Ruby starts hitting my arm.
