A Trading of Hearts: Cold becomes Warm, and Warm becomes Cold Vol. 1

Vytal Festival

Y/N POV

A few weeks have gone by and Yang and I have been getting closer than ever. We both loving each other's company. Even when we both aren't completely alone. We still make the most of it. No matter when we're playing her favorite fighting game, or training in the training room.

Right now, it was lunchtime and Yang and I had decided to sit away from the group in order to get a little us time. I had told my team and they had completely understood. Yang had told me that she was going to inform her team and team JNPR about us, so I'd say that they all knew as well.

"Hey! Stop right there!" I hear from behind me.

"I'm already sitting down," I deadpanned as I look to my blonde bombshell.

"Oh..... Hehe," she starts as she blushes slightly. "Come with me!" she exclaims as she grabs my arm and pulls me towards the cafeteria doors.

"Hey hey. Where are you taking me?" I ask with a small smile.

"Where do you think? What's going on in Vale right now?"

"The Vytal Festival. Aren't they still getting ready for it right now?"

"Well on the way here, it looked like there was a few stands and rides that were ready!"

"Well that's a twist. Let's go have the time of our lives!"

Brans POV

After seeing how Y/N is doing now after his severe breakup with Weiss, I can't help but feel proud. He is doing fairly well after that whole shithole. Though, I can't say I'm happy for the other. Weiss does seem happy, but there's and icy cold to her eyes. Not how she was before the entire event, but as if she was in a sort of depression. As much as I would let her wallow in her own pain, Sapphire would scold me. No matter what they had pulled off in the past, if there was a strong emotion controlling you, you are still capable of being a friend. 

Emotions. Such a simple yet complex word. It is one of the many things that controls our decisions. We make hasty, reckless decisions when we are under the influence of anger, love, and greed, yet these same emotions are what makes us stronger. This is all confusing. Main reason why I let Saph do all the thinking.

"Hey Brans you ok? You seemed to be spaced out," I hear a familiar voice next to me.

"Yeah. I'm fine. Thanks Blake," I reply with a small smile her way.

"So Brans. What are your plans for this weekend? If you aren't too busy or anything, we can all watch a movie or something," Ruby asks with childlike excitement.

"I was planning on visiting my parents. It's been a long while since I have seen them."

"What about you Wei--"

"Go stick it in a rapier wasp nest," Weiss interrupts before leaving the cafeteria.

"Weiss hasn't been doing too good since last week," Jaune points.

"She has her reasons, but she doesn't need to have a frostbite. We're all friends here," Ren informs.

Yeah, last week wasn't the best for Weiss. She thought she had found the one when she left Y/N for Neptune. Only to find out last week that the son of a bitch had slept with another girl. Not only that, but he was doing it while she was with Y/N. Talk about rough. 

"Let's give her time, but at the same time we get her stuff to let her know we are all here for her."

"Took the words out my mouth Rubes," Saph says with a smile.

"Alright well since those two are going to play couple, I'm off to train."

Y/N POV

Yang and I just got off the ferris wheel and went on back to the campus. Yes, the time was short and so was the ride, but hey at least the moment was fun. I activated my semblance and gestured Yang to get on.

After a couple moments, she got on my back and I gave her a few seconds to adjust before lifting off and heading to Beacon. I get there in record time as the bell rang for the halfway marker of lunch.

"Yo that was literally the worst timing we had on leaving campus," I tell Yang with a small smile as she looks at me with a deadpan face.

"Is now really the time to point this out?" she asks me as she runs faster.

"Yes. Mainly because the author is pretty dumb to make us do that at lunch," I say back before Yang quickly retorts.

"HEY! That fourth wall is expensive!"

Before I can get another reply in, we make it to the classroom. We were both panting and smelled of sweat. At least we were early.

After the entire day had ended, Yang and I had went back to the festival ahead of our friends so we can at least do a proper date. Lunch may not have been the best time to do one, but nonetheless it was fun. We both started off with a small meal for dinner, so we may not throw up when we would go on any rides. Last time that happened, I was punched through several walls and ended up making Yang take a long ass shower.

Weiss POV

I was stuck with the entire group. Not sure I wanted to, but Ruby and Sapphire gave me no choice. With the argument of one of our friends had a horrible time, so before you start, you're on suicide watch. I sighed before seeing Neptune over at a stand picking up girls. My blood boiled before a hand was placed on my back. I looked back to see the big sister of the group, or that's what we call her.

"Don't think about him. He wasn't really worth your time. There will be someone who appreciates you for you," she says with a small smile. I winced a bit thinking about who was like that before I screwed it up.

"Like Y/N?" I asked in reply.

"Yeah, but what happened in the past is in the past. Let's leave it. It can't be undone."

I sighed and looked down before trudging along with the group. I guess the saying is true. You don't know what you have until you lose it.

A/N: HOWDY HO I'M ALIVE!!!! Don't worry! I'm sorry for the huge delay in this book. Though, the thing I have to be sorry for is the constant promises that I am going to update on a regular schedule. I won't make another one of those promises. Seeing how I have been in recent times. All that time can come down to writer's block, laziness, and no motivation. My only promise is I will try to update when I can. Each update will happen whenever I find the motivation to. Again, I am sorry for all this time that you all have waited. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed and I will see you all in the next chapter. CIAO!
