It feels as though I forgot something. What was it...?
.......................................
Oh. OH. OH, NO! I FORGOT TO ADD CHAPTERS, NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Not much I can do now.
BTW, going by Matthew now.
And gonna do a quick lore change.

At the gym, you decide to lift some weights.

"Man, these arms are chubby. Let's do it."

Prepping the bench with 50kg, you started pumping and pumping until you couldn't pump no more!

Okay, just no. I forgot how to do stuff here. I'll try my best to make it... Erm, not painful to read? I really am sorry.

Getting closer to the gym, you could hear a workout in progress. One that is not for the weak. Or those who like their legs :3 .

Nora was hard at work, as always. This was the only place she was actually serious and not goofing off. It always surprised you just how serious she could be.

"COME ON, REN! LIFT IT!" Even a ways away, you could hear her "enthusiasm" very clearly.

"Today will be fun, I can already tell," you said to yourself as you hurried towards the gym.

Right before entering, something crashed into the wall above the door, cracking it on the outside. Still no seconds thoughts about turning around, however.

Opening the door, a quick swish went by your ear as a 20kg weight flew straight into the wall. "Another day here in the gym," you said as you see Nora throwing another 20kg weight towards you.

Quickly ducking, it soared out the door into a light pole, breaking it in half.

"NORA! BE CAREFUL!" Ren was already scolding her for almost turning your head into pulp.

"But how can he get stronger if not with weights?!" Thinking was not her strong suit. Clearly.

"He can't get stronger if you smash his head in with said weights."

"Then he can train head thickness!"

"I think my head's already as thick as need be. Why are all the weights in the wall?"

"Nora thought that-"

"I WAS HAVING A GREAT WORKOUT! So I wanted to train a lot! But Ren here said "Be careful. You'll hit someone. Don't throw the leg machine!" I just wanna have fuuuuuuun!" She said the last work like a child that was ready to start crying.

"Well, staying safe with you around is fun, however." You waited for a response from Nora's side.

"I know it is, but others don't wanna be close when I'm working out. And this is for that remark," as she punches you in the arm.

"Took ya long enough, heh." Nora's antics always made you smile, no matter what happened.

"How about we start now? You look like you need it, sir." Ren was always the more polite one of the two.

"No need for formalities, Ren. Just call me Matthew. And yes, I really need a workout. Today, especially."

The hours went by fast. Nora didn't let up on your training. It did start to get annoying, but she wasn't a real hard ass on you, so it felt nice.

After finishing, you could feel your arms and legs burning, but it wasn't something that bothered you.

"Well done, Matt! You really worked today. Now go shower. You stink." She was relentless with her orders.

"Right away, sir!" as you salute. The three of you laugh and you head for your room.

[RWBY's room]

You enter to find everyone asleep. You wonder why as you check the time. 22:00. Shocked, you grabbed your pyjamas and headed for the showers.

[showers]

Hot water washing away the sweat and pain from training, you relax for a bit.

"This is still so unbelievable. Someone like me, being at Beacon. And a teacher, no less! It feels unreal."

"What's unreal?" a voice asked.

Bam! Boom! Crash!

It scared you so much, you fell. Hard on your back.

"Eech eech eech! That smarts, oooow..."

"Oh, so sorry! I didn't mean to scare you," the voice said in a kind, British tone.

"Wait... Velvet? Is that you?"

"Eep! H-... How did you know?"

"Well, for one thing, you're the only that speaks British here. And second... I can see your ears."

Two adorable brown bunny ears just hid themselves behind the door.

"Could you pass me my towel, please?"

"O-of course! Here!" as she throws the towel over the cabin door. You catch it and put it on.

"Can I come out now? If you don't mind, that is."

"Y-you can... I-I'll just look away, yea!"

She was turned towards the door of the showers as to not see you. You couldn't help but smile.

"Lemme put my shirt on and you can turn around." You turn to the clothes rack to get your shirt.

But, of course, she couldn't resist looking at your back to check if you were okay. What she saw did not make her smile.

"Mr. Thank, I am... So sorry for scaring you. I didn't want to-"

"What are you talking about, Velvet, I'm fine." You feel for any damage on your back. Only thing there was the warm water from your shower.

"See? I'm fine. There's only water on m-" You show her your wet hand, but it wasn't water that was on it.

"Wha-"

You check in the mirror and see a big, red wound going across your shoulder blades. It seems one of your scars tore itself open when you fell.

"Oh, I see what you mean. Velvet, could you get me another towel from my room?"

She nods and quickly runs out the door. A faint sob was heard as she left.

" *sigh*... Time to shower again, I guess."

Here we are again. I am deeply sorry for not writing, I just... Couldn't find the time for multiple stories, is all. I hope you're not mad at me.
Anyhow, sorry for the bloody part. I try not to think of these things, but... Well... And if it's cringey, I hope it's good cringe.

Anyway, BYEIIII!!!!
