Lurking Darkness

Well Earned Break

"Holy shit (Y/n)! You were amazing, you understand that you just took down and entire four man team right!?" Yang looks at you with excited eyes.

"Yes I do know that, however right now, I used a lot of Aura constantly changing my temperature, so I am drained of energy." Blake comes up to you and helps you sit.

"You were... stunning to watch, your speed and Semblance control on the fly like that are drastically increasing. You're a force to be reckoned with for sure." You accept her compliment and get ready for the next fight, SSSN Vs NDGO.

"I haven't really seen Sun in action, same with Neptune, how are they in combat?" You ask Blake, knowing she knows Sun.

"Sun is very headstr—."

"Sun has GUNCHUCKS dude." Yang blurts out. 

"Gunchucks? That sounds badass. What about Neptune?"

"He has a rifle that can freeze things, like your weapon, just without Dust, it's a trident however instead of a spear." Blake states.

"Hmm, interesting." You stare at Blake and hold her hand, squeezing it, she squeezes back.

5 minutes later.

"Man, they did great, almost lost because Neptune has the most ironic name ever." You laugh, referring to the boy's fear of water.

"It is quite ironic." Blake adds, you and all of Teams RWBY and JNPR head to the dorms to rest for the day, you go into RWBY's dorm with Blake to hang out for a while.

"So what would you like to do?" Blake asks.

"I was thinking you and me could lay down and watch a movie?" Knowing you physically won't be doing much for a while, she nods her head and agrees, Yang interrupts your relaxation time.

"Hey (Y/n). I have a question." You sit up.

"Shoot."
"How long have you and Pyrrha been friends? I'm just curious because you two are incredibly similar." She asks curiously.

"I've known Pyrrha for about 5 years at this point. Since we were 13 I believe."

"Has she been training with you since then?"

"Not since I first met her, but not long after."

"How come she started training with you?" The air gets slightly colder.

"One day while me and Pyrrha were walking through the woods, we ran into a few Beowolves, it would've been the end of us had it not been for my defensive Semblance, at the time, Pyrrha didn't know I had an offensive side. My body heat had gone past 200 degrees F, it was the hottest I'd ever been and ever have been. The Grimm couldn't even get with 10 feet or hurt us and it was so hot, it actually managed to hurt the Grimm. They retreated and as soon as they were gone, I passed out from pure exhaustion. In fact, even Pyrrha was hurt slightly. Thankfully, she had a ton of aura. She managed to carry me to the nearest hospital and I was out for 5 days. Pyrrha had to tell me what happened."

"So you can get too hot." Yang deduced.

"I thought it'd only be when you're too cold. Good to know." She smiles.

"Pyrrha and me trained everyday from the day I was cleared to leave the hospital. And now, me and her are the deadliest 18 year olds on Remnant." You say with a cocky attitude. The air begins to warm again.

"If you think so..." Yang teases.

"Alright Firecracker, better hope you don't run into me in the doubles round."

"How'd you know we voted me and Weiss for the doubles round?"

"I didn't, but thanks for letting me know." You smirk. She sighs and walks off, you spend the rest of your day with Blake before heading back to JNPR's dorm to hit the hay, wishing Pyrrha good luck in the doubles tomorrow.
