Coco Adel x Male Reader

Chapter 5

The days passed by quietly, I helped Velvet with the bullies and just continued to be a student.

Neither me nor Coco spoke about the café incident, yet she never quite after the same around me.

She didn't tease me at all, she rarely mentioned the word Faunas either.

It was unnerving...

About a week later Ozpin had reckoned I'd had enough punishment, it was short but he'd seen how much I'd changed.

I don't think that's the actual reason, I think Coco said something.

It was a nice to stay in my own dorm again after being with those 2 constantly.

Really refreshing honestly.

Genuinely nothing happened for another week, I stopped having anything to do with Cardin or the Faunas at the school and just kept to myself.

I was at the point where I just wanted to be done, I wanted to go travel the world as a hunter... only 2 more years...

Yet, it felt lack luster, something was missing.

I started to miss the excitement for staying in a dorm with other people... I really hate to say it, but I missed staying with the Faunas.

I just felt like I shouldn't have left things on those terms...

Yeah, that was definitely it.

That's definitely why I'm knocking on their dorm room's door..?

Before I could run away the door swung open with a tired looking Coco glaring at me.

"What?" She said as she rubbed her eyes.

"Uh..." For the first time, I think ever, I froze up.

"Earth to Y/N?" Coco waved her hand around trying to help but she just proceeded to get closer and freeze me more.

Eventually Coco gave up and went back inside, it was only then that I managed to grab her hand.

"What has gotten into you?" She still stood within her dorms boundary but didn't go further inside.

"I'm sorry." I lowered my head.

Heart stop pounding for one second.

"Sorry?" The girl seemed more confused at my apology than when I froze up.

"Right, I'm sorry for dropping everything on you. Telling you the truth, please just ignore it."

In front of Coco, once again, it all came spilling out.

"I'm here because I didn't want things to end that way between us, if I never speak to you again I didn't want that to be how you remember me."

Coco stared at me, with a... I can't tell what she's thinking at all.

"Okay..." She finally muttered before turning and closing the door in my face...

THAT WAS AN EVEN WORSE ENDING THAN BEFORE!

I knocked again and this time Coco opened it in a huff.

"What?" She said again and I did something that was impulsive...

I kissed her.

~~~

I kissed her and left, just like that...

Why...

I guess... I like her?

So that's why I needed to see her?

Makes sense, though I wish it didn't.

I can't like her, I can't, I can't.

It'll end up like last time, someone will get hurt.

Badly.

...

Get off my mind!

Coco Adel...

I got up out of my bed and headed to the gym, I need something, anything to take my mind of that girl.

~~~~~~

2 hours later, I finished my exercise and headed back to my dorm, I really needed a shower now.

But, I felt so much better.

I felt myself again.

...

I wish it went like that.

On the way back from the gym I ran into Velvet getting bullied again, I stood up for her as it felt normal and the bullies ran away.

Not to bad, this had happened quite a few times...

It wasn't until afterwards though I realised it wasn't Velver...

It was another Faunas girl...

I had just protected the race that I can't stand, I walked straight passed her, I couldn't believe what I'd just done.

They'd killed everyone I cared about, I would not protect them!

Right..?

That's where I had my shower and ended up back at Summer Hill again.

This time, I wasn't alone, I'd been followed...

"Hey." I said to nobody but the person I didn't want to see walked out.

"Y/N." Coco said as she got out from behind a tree.

"Why are you following me?" I asked and she retorted with a question.

"Why do you always come to Summer Hill?"

"Because what the Faunas took from me is here." I hissed back before walking towards my team.

Coco followed at a decent distance, making sure not to be in arms reach of me.

"It should've been me in there with them, but they let me live. They gave themselves up to protect me." I started telling my story. "The girl... I loved so much, she backstabbed me." I pointed at the grave nearby.

Coco was silent, not giving me any reaction at all.

"The White Fang, that's who she worked for. It was a slaughter, two teams dead in a matter of moments. One survivor." My fist clenched around my lighter. "Happy? I'm here to see my dead friends."

I wanted to storm off again, to just run away to nowhere in particular, but everything I ran away, I ran back here.

Coco walked up towards me and pulled me into a hug, it felt so nice...

"I'm sorry Y/N." She said quietly as she rested her head on my shoulder.

Everything that I'd been holding in flooded out in a moment, and I actually cried...

Coco just held onto me and I just cried a lot.

Once my moment was over I straightened up and looked at the girl in my arms. "Thank you." I muttered.

"My pleasure." She smiled back at me.

This might not be so bad...

It was Coco's turn to impulsively do something as she kissed me...

This time, it was perfect.

~~~~~~

And Miss Adel is finished, I'm sorry it took so long...

I'm pretty shitty at ending stories but this felt like a decent place for it to finish.

Hope you enjoyed!

Oblivion, fading out.
