Nyx POV
After Jaune and Pyrrha were done studying, they thanked me for letting them use my room, then left. I smiled as they left, and I shut the door behind them. As soon as that door closed, my smile vanished. I yawned, then collapsed into my bed. As I closed my eyes to sleep, my Scroll rang. I groped around for the aforementioned item, and answered it. "Mmmff. What?" I asked, barely awake. "I need to talk to you about something. Meet me on the roof in ten." Someone said. My eyes snapped open. "Who is this?" I demanded. "Everything will be explained on the roof." They replied. Then the line went dead.
"I just want to fucking sleep." I grumbled, pulling on a pair of shoes. I went to the roof, only to be greeted by...nothing. Nobody was up there, and when I turned to leave, the door slammed shut and locked itself. "HEY! What is this, some kind of joke? Well, it isn't fucking funny!" I screamed, kicking the door.
Naturally, that did nothing.
Finally, tired of beating on the door, I tried firing various projectiles. None of them even reached the door. Finally, I placed my forehead against the wall. "Are you finished?" A woman asked. I whirled around, looking for the source of the voice. "Over here, young man." The woman said, somewhere off to my left.
I turned, and I saw her. She was reasonably tall, probably around six foot, with white skin covered in what appeared to be black cracks. Her irises were red, while the rest of her eye was black. Her hair was done up in a bun, and she had on a long black dress. "Who are you supposed to be? A failed cosplay?" I asked.
"Hmm. A sense of humor. At least your jokes aren't as distasteful as I thought." The woman said. "Why am I here, huh? Did you bring me here to insult my jokes?" I snarled. The woman shook her head. "I brought you here because I want you to join me. If you choose to do so, nobody will have to suffer like you did. You will have the power to reverse all the pain." She said.
"The power to kill those who did it."
I stepped back. "Is this for real?" I asked, my voice soft. "Yes, Nyx. You can have the power to do whatever. You. Want. And you only need to do one thing." She said. "Kill Ozpin." Suddenly, I snapped out of my trance. "You want me to...what?" I asked, my voice still soft. "Kill. Ozpin." She hissed. "I..." I sat for a moment, stunned.
"I need to think about it."
She nodded. "Well, I can give you some incentive." The woman approached me and grabbed my face in both hands. I barely had time to register that she had moved before she smashed our lips together. My eyes snapped open wide. The woman dropped an arm around my waist, while the other one snaked into my shirt. When she finally broke the kiss, I began gasping for air. "My name is Salem. And I want you to be one of my chosen lieutenants." Salem said before kissing me once more.
This time, however, she turned it into a full-on make-out session. When Salem slipped her tongue into my mouth, I was far too surprised to resist. As Salem kissed me, her hand under my shirt began to grow warm. Before I knew it, I felt my skin burning. I tried to scream, but Salem only deepened the kiss, effectively muffling my screams of pain.
When the burning stopped, Salem broke the kiss. She pulled her arms back, and looked at me as if expecting me to say something. "Is that proper incentive?" Salem asked seductively. I stared at her. "What did you burn onto me?" I wheezed. "My brand. It will let us have more visits like this one." Salem said. Right then, the edges of the rooftop began curling up into smoke. "Ah. Shame, it looks like you're waking up now. I'll see you tomorrow night, Hot Stuff." Salem said, waving before she disappeared like the rest of the scene.
I woke up screaming. I also managed to fall out of my bed. What followed was about a minute of obscenities I don't think I'm allowed to repeat.
Weiss POV
As I walked out of my dorm room, I thought about what Nyx had said the previous night. He'd offered to take me out to dinner. The more I thought about it, the redder I became, until I was about as red as someone can get. Suddenly, I was snapped out of my thoughts by a loud thud and shouting. I rushed toward the source of the yelling until I was standing outside Nyx's dorm.
I knocked on the door, and all of the cursing cut off. Well, almost. There was another thud and a final curse before a shirtless Nyx opened the door. "Nyx, are you...o....k?" I asked, trailing off when I realized how Nyx was dressed, and I began to turn red once more. "Weiss, are you OK?" Nyx asked, confused. "Y-YEAH! PERFECTLY FINE!" I said loudly, waving my hands in front of my face. Nyx gave me a quizzical look before putting the bottom of his wrist on my forehead.
"You're really hot. Warm! Warm. I swear, that's what I meant." Nyx exclaimed. My face became so red and warm that I thought I would simply burst into flames. I reached out and placed my hands on his scarred torso. As I did so, my embarrassment disappeared. "Did...did they do this to you?" I asked softly. Nyx nodded. "Yeah, they did most of it. Del did some of it too while we were training."
I frowned. "Can we talk for a second? Alone?" I asked. "You wanna get me alone, eh?" Nyx asked, a friendly smirk on his face. I blushed slightly. "I-I guess you could put it that way..." I stuttered. The boy grinned. I stepped into his room, and he shut his door.
Nora POV
PANCAKES!!!!!!
(Yes, I did have to put this in. If you don't like it, then I don't like you lol)
Blake POV
I was coming back from the library when I heard Weiss shout something. Wondering what was happening, I peeked around the corner, only to see Weiss putting her hands on Nyx's....amazingly buff chest....I mean, his totally average body. Then, she walked into his room. As soon as the door shut, I raced to the door and put my ear up to it. "S-so, about your offer last night..." Weiss said. "Yep?" Nyx replied. "OK. We can do that. If it all goes well, then I might help you study more." Weiss giggled.
Wait.
Weiss. Giggling?!?!
Finally, I couldn't take it. Instead of barging in like an idiot, however, I knocked on the door. "One sec!" Nyx called. I heard shuffling, and Nyx opened the door.
Still shirtless.
I couldn't help but stare at him. I mean, I'd seen shirtless guys before when I was in the White Fang, because a lot of guys would change in front of me before missions, but this felt...different. I looked over his well-built frame and scarred chest, and I resisted the urge to run my hands over his chest. "Oh." Was all I managed. "Like what you see, Kitty?" The boy asked, a sly grin on his face.
"It's a nice view, that's for sure." Someone said. Nyx and I turned, only to see Coco leaning against a wall. "Oh, hey. How's Velvet?" Nyx asked. "She's good. Been asking about you." Coco said, pulling out her Scroll and taking a picture of Nyx. "Vel's gonna love this." She snickered, sending the picture to the shy girl.
Nyx began laughing as Velvet raced down the hall. "Why did you send me this?!?!?" Velvet wailed, her face red. We all began to laugh, Weiss included. But while everybody was laughing at Velvet's embarrassment, I noticed Weiss' arms wrapped around Nyx's waist. I didn't know why, but that upset me a little. I turned away and tried to put it out of my mind.
"I gotta go. I found a really good book, and it's not gonna read itself." I said, turning and leaving. "See ya!" Nyx said, walking back into his dorm. When he left, Velvet and Coco walked back to their dorm, no doubt for a makeout session, and I walked back to my dorm alone.
