Whitley Schnee's pov

"Oscar!" "Oscar where are you?"

Oscar rolls his eyes and turns to Whitley, "I would love to stay and talk to you more but they will probably accuse you of kidnapping me."

Whitley laughs, "It's okay, It was really nice talking to you."

Oscar pulls out his scroll and hands it to Whitley, "Put your scroll number in that way we can keep talking."
Whitley nods and trades him scrolls. They hand it back and Oscar waves before walking out of the dining hall.

Whitley smiles and continues to stare at the door long after Oscar left. His face grows warm as he thinks about how nice it was to have a conversation. "Oh shit!"

Oscar Pine's pov

Oscar walks out as Atlas guards are walking into the diner room. "Ruby what's going on?"
"Jaques just got arrested." Ruby says walking towards him "Watts shut off the heat we've got grimm to take care of."

"Okay well then let's go!"

"No Oscar you're going back to the academy with Ironwood to get some more training." Marrow says walking up to the two. "Ruby come on we need to go."

Ruby nods and walks with Marrow to the door.

Oscar looks around and walks out the door to meet Ironwood by the transport.

"Where have you been?" Ironwood asks

"Just taking a break and walking around." He says not knowing how Ironwood would react if he said he was hanging out with Whitley.

"With the grimm in atlas and the heat off that means that we'll be in danger. Especially with the evidence that Watts and Tyrian are in the kingdom. We need to get you trained and fast." Ironwood says sitting down.

Oscar nods and looks back at the Schnee manor slowly getting smaller as they fly further away. Then it finally hits what Ruby said earlier. Jaques was arrested. Who does Whitley have now? Ironwood stands up to sit next to the pilot. Oscar takes the opportunity to check up on Whitley.

Oscar, don't do it.

"Why not?"

He's a Schnee

"So? Weiss is a Schnee too."

He spent a lot of time with his father

"You really weren't paying attention were you?"

To what?

"Exactly now stay out of my business." Oscar opens up his scroll and goes to messages. He finds Whitley's profile and smiles when he sees that he added a little face. Oscar likes to put little faces next to his friends' contacts.

"You wanted me to call you?"

"Yeah I did, I wanted to make sure that you didn't do anything stupid." Oscar says taking note of how tired Whitley's voice sounds.

"I told you I wouldn't."

"Yeah but I know that you probably would." Oscar says sitting down.

"Okay fine. How long do you intend for this call to go for?" He asks.

"Until you fall asleep."
"Like I'm going to fall asleep after today."

"Oh right, well then I guess all night." Oscar says.

Whitley chuckles and Oscar hears him lay down probably on his bed. "I'm not going to make you stay up all night."

"Well you aren't. I'm choosing to."

"You'd really do that?"
"Yeah, you're my friend. Why wouldn't I?" Oscar smiles.

"Friend? Okay, well how do you get to sleep?"

Oscar laughs "I thought you said you weren't going to sleep tonight." Whitley chuckles and the transport stops at Atlas. "I need to find my favorite. I'll call you back?"

"Sounds good." Whitley says, Oscar smiles and ends the call. "Um general, I'm actually really tired and I think it would be better if I trained if I was well rested so I can remember what we go through."

Liar

Ironwood looks at the pilot for a split second, just long enough for Oscar to retort "No one asked you."

"That's fine, run along." Ironwood agrees. Oscar smiles and runs into the academy. He finds his room he shares with team JNR and immediately goes to the bookcase. He grabs his favorite book and jumps up onto his bed and calls Whitley.

"Okay I've got it."

"What is it?"

"A book. Whenever I can't sleep I read until I get tired. This one is probably my favorite." Oscar says starting at the beginning.

"Okay what is it."

"The prince and the pauper." Oscar says, "You ready?"

"Yes?" Whitley says, Oscar hears the scroll rustle around and Oscar smiles when he realizes Whitley is getting under blankets.

"Okay. It starts with a farm boy. The farm boy lives in a kingdom run by a family. The family has a lot of power and they have a boy around the farm boys age. This prince is very spoiled but hates all of it. He just wants to become a normal boy. Now the farm boy, although happy with what he has always wondered what it would be like to live in a castle as grand as the prince's..." Oscar trails off when he hears the deep breathing on the other line. "We'll continue tomorrow. Goodnight your highness." Oscar hangs up and pulls his unfinished scarf out of his pocket. He holds it in his hand and pulls his blanket up over his shoulder before drifting off to sleep.
