ChiggerXninja: "Assumption can lead you to tell more lies"


'It's busy today' Noctis thought to herself serving more customers.

The door swings open the chimes ringing Noctis turns seeing a certain black cat in the doorway with a blonde monkey she raises her eyebrow, but leads the two to a table she hands them a menu.

"Is there anything else I can get for you two?"

"Mind if we get a pot of tea?" Blake asks monotone.

Noctis nods then glares at Sun burning holes through his skull.

'She's freaking me out' Sun thought as he begins to sweat a lot.

"Oi Monkey boy" she finally speaks up.

"Y-yes"

"If you even think of dining and dashing" Noctis slams her hand on the table. "I'll break your legs off, are we clear?" Sun nods rapidly.

"Not all fauns steal," Blake said glaring daggers.

Noctis stands up straight and crosses her arms "I'm not saying that kitten"

"Then-" Blake gets interrupted.

"I'm saying it to him because I saw him stealing a few apples before coming here, plus why would I be racist towards my own kind"

Noctis turns around to walk away until Blake grabs her arm. "How did you know?"

"What? About the ears?" Blake nods "Well last time I checked Bows don't twitch"

Blake let's go of the Bartender as she continues towards the kitchen. A few minutes later Notics walks towards them serving them tea and takes down their orders.

TIMESKIP: (Brought to you by chibi Noctis dragging chibi Sun). ~BTW ITS NIGHTTIME~

After the two finish their meal they paid Noctis gets a bing from her scroll she looks at it reading the message, she quickly takes Blake's hand.

"Need a place to stay?"

Sun in the background shakes his arms and head for her to say no.

"Sure"

Sun falls to the ground at her reply, Noctis let's go of Blake's hand then touches her metal Jaw reshaping it to fit better than signals Blake to follow her and drags Sun by the collar.

"So... what happen to your Jaw?" Sun asks breaking the silence.

"A Grimm ripped it off when I was a child"

"Oh ok" 'crap I don't know what else to say'

"One could say it was a jaw-dropping experience"

The two other fauns stare jaws dropped at the bartender's dark joke.

"Apologies, a friend of mine told me if I ever get the chance I should say that..."

*Cough cough* Author-chan (I know I'm a terrible person)

"Who?" Blake asked curiously.

"Let's just say a certain lioness, I'm sure you know"

Blake nods weakly, they get to the room as Noctis opens the door a snake leaps out in front of the three, Noctis reaches her hand out as the snake climbs up her arm then loosely rests on her shoulders, Blake and Sun step back away from the snake with fear.

"You can stay here" Noctis points in her room.

"Where will you sleep then?" Blake asks.

"It's fine, I barely sleep anyways, make yourself comfortable I'll drop off monkey boy back to his teammates"

"Thanks"

"No problem get some rest at least" Jaws said walking out of the room dragging Sun with her.

Blake walks around the room the walls were black while the ceiling had stars painted with a full moon, she looks at a photo and sees a little girl with a metal jaw, a black suit, white undershirt and yellow tie. Next to the little was an old man with silver hair the two were hugging the little girl looked happy despite the metal jaw blocking her from smiling, Blake smiles softly at the picture thinking about her parents.

She plops on the bed thinking why she yes to the stranger's kindness normally she'd say no, but seeing the worry in the bartender's eyes she couldn't say no. She kept thinking about her eyes how they showed such sorrow and tiredness, Blake slips into a deep sleep thinking about the golden orbs.

Noctis walk into her room checking on Blake and sees her laying on the bed Noctis takes her weapon off placing them on her desk beside the bed she picks up the black cat placing her in the warm bed tucking her in the sheets then takes her hunting clothes and walks out of the room turning the lights off.

Timeskip (brought to you by Chibi Jaws flipping pancakes)

Blake's eyes opened in a panic she looked around seeing she was in the bartender's room still, she sighed in relief she looked over seeing her weapons on the desk strapping them back on hearing the door creak she pulls out her gun aiming at the blue snake in the doorway the snake stares at the cat before turning around slithering away. Curious the cat follows the snake, she walks down the stairs seeing the bartender in casual wear walk through the door carrying a few crates.

Noctis turns seeing the cat awake "How was your night?"

"It was alright, where did you go?"

"Hunting and forging for today's ingredients"

"All night?!"

"Yes"

She places the crates down and takes off her glasses, Blake stares in disbelief looking into her eyes seeing the scars and heavy bags under her eyes. "What?"

"N-no it's nothing"

"Names Noctis Eclipse by the way but you may call me Jaws if you wish, what about you?"

"Blake"

Noctis nods then make breakfast for the two of them then feeds her snake. Blake stares at the snake while eating and tries to bring up a conversation.

"What type are you?"

"hmm?"

"I mean what type of fauns are you?"

"eagle"

Blake smirks 'funny normally in nature these two would be fighting like cats and dogs'

"This here is Washington," Noctis said sliding her finger on top of the snake's scaly head.

The two eat in silence but turn hearing the chimes at the door, they see Sun waving.

"Guess who's back"

"An Idiot" Noctis replies.

"YOOUUUU"

"Me"

Sun facepalms at her but smiles seeing Blake, Noctis leaves taking the dishes away and coming back with two cups of tea.

Blake takes a sip of her tea then places it down. "So, you want to know more about me"
