Merc Male Reader x RWBY

Chapter 9

Y/N POV
Awaking to the smell of sausage and bacon I immediately opened my eyes, examining the safe house. In the kitchen area I could see Neo infront of many pans that the mouth watering smell seemed to originate from.
"sup Neo, sleep well?" I asked, to which she peeked over her shoulder with a heart warming smile and a nod of her head. Standing up I stretched my limbs, earning a satisfying POP from my joints. Approaching the bubbly girl in the kitchen I helped her immediately, Grabbing two plates and two glasses before placing them on the table.
"what drink would you like?
Water?
Or
Juice?"
Neo simply responded by holding her index finger up, signifying the number 1.
"water it is"
After pouring the two glasses of water I sat down at the table, the old chair creaking in protest. My eyes brightened  as she approached table with the food, her smile never leaving her face. After she layed the food onto my plate I took a bite, my eyes widening in shock at how nice the food tasted. I was completely surprised at the fact she could cook, I would have never expected it considering she's a criminal. Neo silently ate her breakfast opposite me, her eyes never leaving the plate as if she was scared to look at me.
"After we finish breakfast we'll take the bike to Beacon" I said, swallowing a piece of food.
"later I plan on getting parts for the insurgent, it could come in handy for future missions, you can join me if you want."
Neo nodded her head before taking another bite of her, food letting out a satisfied sigh.

Driving through the streets of Vale on my bike with Neo I made my way to beacon, dodging around cars. Once we arrived I parked my bike next to a black and yellow one before helping. Neo off the bike. Walking through the doors we walked through the hallways towards Ozpin's office, Neo getting lustful looks but never got wolf whistled or approached... Probably due to the fact that the living embodiment of fear was walking right next to her. Arriving at the elevator, me and Neo walked in before waiting for the elevator to reach the office. Suddenly, Neo tapped me on the shoulder so I turned towards her to see her holding a sign saying 'What's with the music?'
"I know! It's so awkward!" I said, causing her to silently laugh. When the doors parted it revealed Ozpin, Ironwood, Winter and Glynda who all turned to look at us. In the corner of my eye I could see Neo tense up, but as soon as I draped my arm over her shoulders she calmed down.
"hello guys and gals" I said in a cowboy accent.
"you countinue with that accent I'm gonna hit you" said Winter, killing my accent instantly.
"who is this adorable girl" said ozpin, causing Neo to smile brightly.
"Her name is Neo and we would like her to join becon" I said.
"I think she can speak for herself Mr L/N" said Glynda
"no, she can't" I replied, causing glynda to furrow eyebrows in annoyance.
"oh? And why not?" she gritted out.
Before I could reply, Neo had held up a sign reading 'I'M MUTE' to which Glynda quickly backed down.
"I'm sorry" she said before standing silently next to ozpin.
"well Ozpin, I need to go. Let's go Winter" he said before walking into the elevator with said girl and dissapearing from view.
"so... Your a criminal wanting to join beacon?" said Ozpin, causing everyone in the room to become shocked. Withdrawing a revolver I aimed it directly at his forehead, causing Glynda to gasp but ozpin to raise an eyebrow.
"calm down mr l/n, I don't intend any harm to her" he calmly said, causing me to hesitantly holster my revolver.
"how did you know?" I asked.
"well, when I was watching the footage I saw you ask ironwood for a crate of dust. Nothing too suspicious, but then you pushed the crate you was sitting on across the warehouse to a veichle. What I couldn't wrap my head around was why you wouldn't just take a crate that was practically right next to the insurgent. Now, you walk into my office with a young girl I've never seen before. Then you over reacted when I mentioned her being a criminal" he said, causing me to internally roll my eyes.
"always the observant one Oz" I said, causing him to chuckle.
"I'll accept her, she's now on your team. Neo, please behave while your here, you'll be under Mr l/n's watch" ozpin said, sipping his coffee. Neo bowed as if to say 'thankyou' before walking into the elevator, awaiting me to follow her.
"oh and y/n?"
"ye?" I asked
"what would you possibly need with an insurgent?" he asked, causing me to smile.
"to be loud" I replied, causing him to chuckle.
