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

A Booming Night

Y/N POV

After we had all arrived to Fettucinne Romero we all were led to a booth that fit all 12 of us. I felt this moment was to congratulate and help boost all of us for the tournament in which we are going to continue to participate in. We all sat in a respective circle going clockwise starting with Sapphire, Ruby, Weiss, Yang, me, Blake, Brans, Cyan, Jaune, Pyrrha, Ren, and Nora.

Each of us all had the mozzarella sticks for appetizers and decided to get a lasagna that could be split between all of us. It definitely tasted better than the ramen shop that we took everyone else to. The lasagna looked delectable with its leaking sauce, wonderful, meaty smell and great taste. Satisfying me and everyone around us.

On the way back, we all began to split up. Sapphire and Ruby went off to go check out the new weapons shop. Weiss and Cyan went to go work on homework. Blake and Brans both went off to the docks. Jaune and Pyrrha most likely went to go train. Last but not least, Nora dragged poor Ren off to campus for his pancakes. Thus leaving it to be just Yang and I. We both decided to hit the arcade that we saw on the way to Romero's.

We walked inside to find it almost packed with people. Mostly packed around this game where you are a yellow circle going around eating other tiny little circles. There was another where you were out in space and you had to fight off aliens. There was also one where you were a plumber in red having to cross a kingdom to save a princess.

Though, as we both looked through all the games, one seems to get our attention the most. A fighting game in the corner playing a video of two men in gi fighting against each other. One clad in all white with a black belt and a red headband, and the other clad in all red with a black belt as well. We looked to each other and grinned before running over to it.

"So how will we do this hot shot? First one to two wins?" I asked Yang.

"You're on! But let's make this a bit more interesting," she says in a dangerous tone. A tone that she uses when she has something set in mind and won't stop at anything to achieve. It scared me, but I had a knack for playing new games.

"If I win, you have to do what I say for a week and you cannot deny anything whatsoever. If you do, let's just say you'll find out what happens," I say in my own dangerous tone.

"Fine by me. Though, if I win, you have to tell me all your secrets. That includes sexual secrets," Yang says in a seductive tone. Now I know why she had started this bet. We start up and begin playing the game. My first match was mainly me trying to figure out the controls while Yang would just come and attack me. Though I blocked her attacks by holding the joystick away from her character. Though, with me continuing to learn Yang beat me. She looked towards me with a cocky smirk.

"Nice job Yang, but unfortunately for you, I learned the controls for the game. And you don't know what I'm truly capable of," I say with my own cocky grin. We start up the second match. I choose Ryu and Yang chooses Chun-Li. We both start off with me doing a basic combo on Yang. Which would be the beginning of a chain between combos from Yang and I. Though to make things short, let's just say that it ended with a shoryuken from me.

Now for the third and final bout that she and I played, we both had a small crowd gathered around us and some watching from afar. Now apparently everyone wants to play this game. Yang decided to choose Chun-Li again and this time I went for Ken. This battle would decide ones fate. This battle will decide our history after tonight. I dealt about twenty percent her health while she went on to destroy my health bar. Her determination is admirable. I deal a bit more damage to her before she got me down to one hp. Which I stay back a bit before she unleashes her special move. I smirk and I begin to parry them all. Hearing a boom of cheering behind me, I finish up with a small combo into my own special. Finishing off Yang and smiling in my own victory.

"Dammit! I almost had you!" Yang yelled angrily at me. I looked over to her and saw her with her arms crossed and pouting at me. I smiled warmly at her before it became a bit devilish.

"I told you I had a knack for picking these games up," I said patting her head with a grin. "Now about that bet," my smile became even more devilish than before.

Sapphire POV About 8 Minutes Before Y/N's Comeback

After Ruby and I checked out that weapons shop we started to head to an arcade that was down along the way to Beacon. Upon our arrival, we saw a huge crowd gathering around what looks to be Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike. Curious about the commotion, Ruby and I go over to see what's going on. That is until we see a large projection of the battle going on. Ken was up against Chun-Li. Though who was playing the game? Ruby and I tried to see who was playing until we saw signs that look like they had just been made on the spot. Some for Y/N and some for Yang.

"Hey Rosebud, you see that?" I ask her pointing to the signs. She looked around and jumped up before pouting. I chuckle before bending down in front of her. Gesturing her to hop on my back. She hops on and I stand up. "Now you see what I'm seeing?" I ask.

"Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh. Y/NandYangarebattlinginthisfightinggame!?!?" she asks both very confused and excited. I turn towards the screen of the fight. Ken was down to about a quarter while Chun-Li still had almost full health. What happened next surprised both me and Ruby. Y/N parried all the hits in Chun-Li's special and answered back with a combo of his own. What surprised me was Y/N never played this kind of fighting game. He only play this game we have back at Beacon called Smash Bros. Seeing him parry flawlessly baffled me.

After the match, the crowd had slowly calmed down one by one. Soon they had all left the two alone except for us. We walked up to them with a small wave and a smile. "Hey what's up guys?" Y/N asked me before I smiled at him.

"Oh it's quite nothing. We just came to see what the big commotion was all about. We didn't expect it to be you two just having a casual match," I say looking at them. They both shifted a bit before Y/N spoke up.

"We made a bet before playing. It was actually more competitive than casual," he says bringing a hand to the nape of his neck. He had a sheepish grin while looking between the three of us.

"Well Y/N, I'm going to chalk that little performance you did beginner's luck. As far as I know that must have been your first time playing," I say looking at him. I see Yang out of the corner of my eyes looking to Y/N.

"Well yes it was my first time if I am being honest," he says nervously.

"With proper training, you can most likely beat our Uncle Qrow!" Ruby chimes in happily. Well she definitely looks on the bright side. I chuckle and pat her head and ruffle her hair. "Hey! Stop that!"

Y/N and Yang chuckle at the two's antics and start walking to the entrance of the arcade. Getting a brief message that they are both welcome at any time and if they wish, the staff could set up a spot for them to play their games. They both smile and nod before walking off. After a bit, I look to Ruby. "Alright let's start heading to the dorms. We can play our game tomorrow," I say only for her to pout and look at me.

"No! We came to play one game and we are going to play it now!" she yelled like a little child. I chuckle and ruffle her hair a bit.

"Rosebud, they look like they are just about to close up shop. I promise, tomorrow we can play that new racing game just like you wanted," I reply smiling softly at her. She blushes and looks down shyly.

"Okay," she says in a quieted tone. "But if you break the promise, you have to buy me twelve dozen cookies!" she yells in a happy tone. Now I'm fearing for my wallet.

A/N: Good Afternoon. How is it going my fellow readers? How has your day been? I hope it's been wonderful just as I hope that you guys have been doing good. As you can see, this chapter is a bit longer than the others. That is mainly because I want to start taking my first steps to becoming a better writer, and to do that I have decided to do my best in description details to set the scene or bring a character to life. That and have their personalities more fleshed out. I myself am not sure if my ocs are good enough, but I want to make them better. More relatable and down to Earth. So throughout my books if you see any change in length or anything else, I am putting what I learned to work. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed and I will see you all next chapter. Ciao!
