Also, could you please just comment... Something? Anything? Please.
STORY TIME!!!!

You were surprised at this inquisitory question from Ruby. It threw you off track, both literally and figuratively, right as you were checking the grinding wheel. It was very much active, the rough surface grinding off the skin and flesh from your right forearm as it rotated the top of your forearm to the bottom.

(y/n): "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

Ruby: "MATTHEW!!!!"

You somehow managed to turn off the now red wheel so it wasn't a danger anymore. However, your forearm was a bloody, disgusting mess.
The pain was too much to bare, your screams echoing around the school hallways.
Ruby was trying to help but not knowing how. The door bursts open as WBY comes barging in, just to stop dead in their tracks as soon as they see you in pain on the ground.

WBY: "WHAT HAPPENED!?!?!", their faces pale as the god of death, Hades, himself.

Ruby: "I just asked him a question and I guess his hand hit the grinding wheel and... This happened."

WBY: "Well, what was the question!?!?!?", they scream as they huddle around trying to stop the bleeding.

(y/n): "Don't worry- AGH!...Girls. She just asked something silly- ARGH!"

Weiss: "I don't think a SILLY question would cause THIS!"

You were trying to be nice, but the question and the pain were too much.

(y/n): "It's personal, so I don't wanna talk about it, UNDERSTOOD!?"

Their reaction was to be expected. The surprise and shock of you yelling at them was startling, so much, they backed off, away from you.

Blake: "M-Matthew? W-why are you so angry?"

(y/n): "Sor- OW!- ry, I'm just in serious pain and inquisitive question can be asked later. Okay?"

RWBY: "Yes, sir!"

(y/n): "Now, time to go to the infirmary," slowly standing up, clutching the bloody mess that used to be your right forearm and, step by step, walking to the infirmary.

Ruby quickly stops you from going any further and says: "What do you think you're doing?"

(y/n): "Emmmm... Walking to the infirmary?"

Yang: "Nope, not happening, ESPECIALLY with that injury. How are you even conciuss?!"

You just smile and shrug. You didn't tell them yet.

(y/n): "You'll see in the nurses office. I can't wait to see your expresions. Haha... hehe... *snicker*"

RWBY: "WHAT?"

[timeskip ~5 min]
[infirmary]

The nurse wasn't expecting you, so when she saw the wound, she almost threw up, but kept it together and started working.

[timeskip ~10 min]

The nurse finished cleaning your forearm and wrapped it up. But, just to be safe, she said that she has to check you out completely.

(y/n): "Sure. Are you girls ready?", you asked the girls, who were watching the whole thing. They still had no idea what you were talking about, which made you chuckle.

Nurse: "All right, take off your shirt, please."

(Forgot. In this story, you're wearing long army print cargo pants, a long sleeved army green shirt with a red star on your chest and sneakers. Also, you have (e/c) eyes and (h/c) hair with a stuble beard and side burns.)

You nod and take it off, revealing dosens of scars on the back and front of your torso. The scars range from an X-shaped scar (from right shoulder to left hip and left shoulder to right hip), many singular scars, what appear to be claw-like marks and bullet scars. Your right arm has no scars (yet), but your left arm has one scar, a straight line on the side, shoulder to elbow.

This really surprised everyone, so much that they stepped a few steps back, including the nurse. Meanwhile, you were just laughing a bit.

(y/n): "Hahahaha. I didn't realise that none of you ever saw a few scars. Hahahaha."

Nurse: "A FEW scars?! Where... What... How... Why... By the amount of scars I see, I'm surprised you're even alive."

(y/n): "Yeah. I get that a lot."

Nurse: "And look at how many bullet scars you have! How did you- Were you in the war or something?"

(y/n): "Nah, just an accident during gun training. My training partner thought it'd be funny to scare me while I was preping the targets. The idiot didn't realise the gun was set to full-auto, PLUS the trigger was getting stuck. He fired off a few rounds, but the trigger got stuck and... Well..."

Nurse: "Dear god!"

(y/n): " And one or two are from a weapon malfunction."

Ruby: "M-M-Matthew..."

You remember that the girls were also here. When you look at them, they were no longer pale, but on the brink of tears.

(y/n): "Don't worry, girls. I am all right. That was in the past. I'm still alive, here with you,", you say while putting your shirt back on, with a big smile on your face.

Nurse: "Well then, if that's all, you can go. Come back in about two days so I can clean the wound again and re-wrap it."

(y/n): "Sure thing, doc! Good bye."

You exit the nurses office and head towards yours and Team RWBY's dorm. The girls are still sad, but to comfort them, you are holding their hands.

(y/n): "Hey, girls?"

RWBY: *sniffle*"Y-yeah?"

(y/n): "Can I tell you all a story?"

Thank you all so much for reading this! Sorry about the gore, I thought of it On The Spot right after I wrote the intro, but the scars were planned before.

Anyway, BYEIIIII!!!!
