Pain & Misery | A RWBY MaleReader

Chapter 1 - A series of unfortunate events

YN POV - 15 years old

'Ah, Vale, I haven't been here for a while have I?'  I was standing on the sidewalk across the street from a shop called From Dust Til' Dawn, watching a beat down happen. 

I stood wearing an open (f/c) hoodie and a pair of grey jeans along with some sneakers, all three items being pretty worn down with a couple holes.

Back to said beat down, a girl who looked to be around my age, although a couple inches taller was flipping about using a big red scythe, occasionally shooting it to propel herself forward.

She seemed to be fighting gangsters or something, I'm not sure they were wearing identical suits so that's the best I can come up with.

'Should I.... help? No, i'd just get in the way i'm sure'  While stuck in my thoughts, I failed to notice a man in a white coat with a bowler hat point his cane at me.

Ginger Gangster: "It was fun while it lasted Red, but this is where we part ways"

Red: "No!"

With that a scope flipped open at the end of his cane and he fired what looked like an explosive shot at me. 'Sorry man, already tried that. It won't work.'

I lazily looked at the projectile as it flew towards me, preparing for it to make contact, only to be swept away in a storm of roses.

Suddenly I realized I was lying on the ground and there was something rather heavy on my body.

Ruby POV

I was dazed as I ran too fast to reach that boy before he was hit and was lying on the ground before I heard a monotone voice from below me

Hoodie: "Hey Red, mind getting off of me?"

Looking down, I saw the boy that I had just saved lying below me. Suddenly realizing I was straddling this complete stranger, I bolted up with a face comparable to my cape.

Ruby: "Ohmygodimsosorryididntmeantodothatandidontevenknowyouohthisissoembarrassing!"

Hoodie: ".....So are you going to go after him or...?"

Ruby: "Him? Huh? What do you mean?"

The Boy simply sighs, before sitting up and crossing his legs and pointing to his right at the robber in white who was climbing up a ladder.

Ruby: "Oh him. I mean I knew you meant him I was just testing you!"

The boy doesn't show any visible reaction and keeps a straight face.

Ruby: "Uuuh, So I'm gonna follow him now! Okaythanksforyourtimegoodbye!"

Before he can even respond I speed off, shooting down with crimson rose making me fly up onto the building behind the crook I was chasing.

Crook: "Persistent"

Ruby: "Uuuh, So I'm gonna follow him now! Okaythanksforyourtimegoodbye!"

Before I could say anything else she speeds off, not like I care all that much she seemed like a lot of effort to handle.

As I go to walk away, I hear an explosion on the rooftop that "Red" just went up and decided to check if she was dead.

'Who knows, maybe I could sell her stuff' As I start climbing up the ladder I hear the sound of metal scraping along with more explosions and then voices.

When I finally reach the top I see "Red" still alive and standing next to what seems to be a teacher holding a...riding crop. 

Her long blonde hair swayed in the air, and she adjusted her glasses before she glared at "Red" who started bothering her.
