Winter x Male Reader

Chapter 4 - Ranked

"Y/N L/N." I stood before Ironwood in his office as he was about to give me my rank and squad.

I know I'm supposed to be tailing Winter for a while but apparently something had come up and well I was getting promoted quickly.

I'm not sure.

"Your fantastic combat abilities and for simply saving my life. You have been promoted to Captain, which is one rank below Winter Schnee. You will lead your own Squad. You will meet them shortly." He nodded his head and Winter left the room, probably to collect my squad.

~~~~~~

Just a heads up, your squad is going to be a bit like a team if you was at Beacon, idk how the ranks actually work in the military so this is good enough, anyway on with the story.

~~~~~~

Eventually 3 other people arrived with Winter, two of them looked barely 18 and the other one looked like she was 12...

"This is Hope Yaxham." The little girl waved at me. "The tall guy is George Likens, and the other girl is Gracelyn Stone."

The guy was just smaller than me, he had jet black hair which was spiked up and dark green eyes. He looked like someone you wouldn't want to meet in a back Alley at night...

Or at any time tbh.

Gracelyn, seemed like the most down to earth one of the bunch, her ginger hair down to her waste was tied up in a pony tail and her blue eyes stood out the most. She was going to be fiesty and dangerous.

The little girl, Hope, what a cute name. I repeat, she seemed 12.

Brown hair which barely hung past her shoulders and blue eyes like Gracelyn's made it seem like they were related.

Actually, they did have a lot more alike than just eye colour. Their faces were shapes simular and they both had a single freckle underneath their eye.

However, they had different last names, I'd have to question that later.

"I'm Y/N L/N. I'm nothing special but it's a please to work with you." I bowed slowly and George walked towards me.

"After our past leader died, I wasn't sure what we'd do, but you seem very capable and were honoured to serve with you." Wow, he was more polite than I thought, though I saw tears forming in his eyes when he spoke about their past leader... he or she must have been a great person.

"I probably won't live up to those high expectations, this is literally my first day here." They all gasped at me shocked and Ironwood gave a solemn look as I continued. "However." I pulled out a gun and pointed it at Winter who was silently stood in the corner. "I managed to beat our Ice Queen over here so that has to mean something."

Winter seethed at my teasing and stormed over to me, and hit me round the back of the head.

"Ow." I laughed and she blushed lightly and mumbled. "Sorry love, we'll have a rematch sometime okay?"

As soon as I said love, I felt her heat up. Before she hit me again.

"Ow."

She walked back to her corner and seemed to freeze in place, obviously done with my incessant teasing.

"Enough Y/N." The General smiled at the scene. "The rest of the squad will take you to your new dorm, collect you belongings from Winter's room on the way."

With that we all left, I was worried about how bad of a leader I'd be. Well more than anything I was worried by the fact my squad were all vulnerable having just lost their past leader, and they were so young too.

Winter had lent me a key to her room so I grabbed my bag from the corner quickly and continued to follow the rest of my squad.

"So Y/N, where are you from?" Gracelyn asked trying to make small talk.

"Well, I'm technically homeless, so I go where ever I want. My parents died when I was young so I never really knew them. I do have a sister though, she lives in Vale." I rubbed the back off my head slightly embarrassed by my past. "It's nothing exciting sorry, the biggest thing I've done with my life is kill Roman Torchwich, being a Faunas makes life hard."

I showed them all my ears and they gasped again, simular to how they did when I said I'd killed Roman.

"YOU'RE AMAZING Y/N!" Hope shouted, obviously annoying all the people walking passed us.

"Inside voice." I put my finger to my lips and she copied me, understanding what I wanted.

"So, what about you guys, you saw my sebelance, creating weapons, so I'd love to know about you."

"I'll go first." George opened the dorm room door and entered it with all of us following behind. "My sebelance allows to me to control air." He said whilst closing the door with a gush of wind.

"Aww, me next!" Hope chimed in. "My sebelance, I've named Lucky Charms! It allows me to morph, you see I'm really a 19 year old but I love looking like a kid and like Gracelyn's sister." She morphed into her true self and honestly she was really pretty.

Her features looked almost identical except her eyes were a dark brown. She seemed much more mature now too.

"But being little is more fun!" Glad to know her voice didn't change though...

"And finally, my sebelance isn't as spectacular as there's." Gracelyn pulled a face as she watched her friends mess around. "I can basically sprout wings and fly, but these two can do it too so it doesn't seem like much."

"Well, it sounds amazing to me, I'd love to be able to fly." I muttered smiling at my new squad.

~~~~~~

"Winter!" I said jogging to catch up.

"What can I do for you?" She asked, she seemed nervous for some reason.

"Well, I wanted to make it up to you, I've been a pain in the ass since coming here. So for one day I'm all yours."

Her face went bright red and I could tell she had gotten the wrong idea.

Yes, maybe I had started getting feelings for her, but I'd known her for about a day.

"Don't get any wrong ideas there." I waved my hands infront of her and she calmed down slightly.

"Well, okay, um..." I saw the cogs turning in her head... uh oh. "Okay, there is this family... reunion coming up, where the entire Schnee family goes out for a meal. Since Weiss, my little sister is apparently bringing her boyfriend..." She trailed off but I got the gist.

"You want me to act as your boyfriend?" I finished, I grabbed her by the waist and pulled her close before whispering into her ear. "I'm sure I can manage that."

I felt my face go red and so did hers.

Why did I do that?

I'm such an idiot.

She's going to hate me.

"A-ah a-a-ah..." She couldn't formulate sentences anymore.

I think I broke her.

"Winter, you okay?" I managed to composed myself.

"Y-yes!" She said louder than she though, and she covered her mouth quickly before running off.

I didn't chase her this time though...

"Kill me now, please."

~~~~~~

Welp, good luck Y/N.

You'll need it if you're going to managed to keep up with Winter's antics.

Oblivion, fading out.
