A Cry For Help PT1

Joan followed Pyrrha as she opened the door leading out to the roof. "Pyrrha, I know I'm going through a lot right now, but, I'm not that depressed, I could always be a farmer or something." Joan said looking down at the ground below them, they were so high up that the few students that out at this hour seemed little more than ants from the little rooftop. "NO," Pyrrha shouted hugging the blonde girl and pulling her away from the edge and turning Joan to face her, "That's not why I brought you up here," she let go of Joan, her cheeks turning almost as red as her own hair. "Joan, I know that you're having a difficult time in class, and that you're still not the strongest fighter," that last part only made Joan feel worse like she really wasn't worth it like she really was just a fraud especially coming from Pyrrha it made her want to curl up into her hoodie and cry, "So," Joan's thought was cut off "I want to help you." Pyrrha finished "What?" Joan asked, "We can train up here after class, where no one can bother us." Pyrrha said with a little bit of hope in her voice, secretly she just wanted to get closer to the blonde and having developed feelings for the knight loving her clumsy and airheaded nature. "You think I need help?" Joan said trying to hide the hurt that only bled out into her words, Pyrrha caught onto this and quickly stuttered "N-No, that's not what I meant." "But you just said it." Joan looking down at their feet. "Joan, everybody needs a little push from time to time, it doesn't make you any different from the rest of us," Pyrrha started trying to talk the blonde up "You made it to Beacon, that speaks volumes of what you're capable of." Joan turned away, that last part stung her to her very core, it was only a second before she responded but it felt like an agonizing eternity before she responded, "You're wrong," Joan said, again gazing down at the people on the ground below, she sighed "I don't belong here." "That's a terrible thing to say of course you do!" Pyrrha stated fully believing her words, Joan turned around her face looking almost angry. "No I don't," she stated seriously before sighing and looking back down at her feet, "i wasn't really accepted into Beacon."Joan turned to look at the people below "W-what do you mean?" Pyrrha reached her hand out to the blonde but she just snapped and spilt her guts to her partner "I mean I didn't go to combat school, I didn't pass any tests, i didn't earn my place at this academy, i lied!" she turned around "I got my hands on some fake transcripts and I lied." she was on the verge of tears now,Pyrrha was stunned to say the least this girl that was leading he and the rest of her team and that she was now falling head over heels for, lied? "W-what, but why?" "Because this is what I've always wanted to be, my mother, my father, my grandfather and his father before him were all warriors, they were all heroes," Joan was now full on crying "And I wanted to be one too, I was just never good enough." she gazed back to the people below. Pyrrha walked over to her and placed a hand on the blonde knight's shoulder. "Then let me help you," "I DON'T WANT HELP, I DON'T WANT TO BE THE DAMSEL IN DISTRESS, I WANT TO BE THE HERO!!!!" Joan snapped and turned to face Pyrrha, her eyes filled with angry, sad, and ashamed tears "Joan,I," Pyrrha started only to be cut off by the blonde "I'M TIRED OF BEING THE LOVEABLE BIMBO STUCK IN THE TREE WHILE HER FRIENDS FIGHT FOR THEIR LIVES! DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?! IF I CAN'T DO THIS ON MY OWN," Joan grabbed her arm and looked away from Pyrrha, from her partner, from her eyes, her disappointed eyes. "then what good am I?" the last part of her sentence was more like a whisper. Looking at the pain she was in,Pyrrha would be lying if she said it didn't break her heart, and she wanted nothing more than to comfort the knight, hug her, hold her, tell her that everything would be okay, she went for it she tried to pull Joan into a hug, but, Joan pulled way "Just, leave me alone, okay?" Joan said,

Bumbleby 2022 Day 4! Beacon Days

Just a quick short for the Bumbleby week! I usually do a much longer format and haven’t posted a story directly on Tumblr before, but this felt like fun! I hope you enjoy :)

-

“Oh crap, oh geez, how the heck does she-” 

Blake Belladonna, book in hand and just low enough to let her see over the top while she walked the halls of Beacon Academy back to Team RWBY’s dorm room, paused and tucked a few stray black hairs away as she raised a brow towards the slightly open door. She could hear a voice inside, it sounded worried, and as she gave a quick glance to the page number she was on gave a gentle tap on the door.

“Um, hello?” The voice had sounded like Yang, and even though it was her own dorm too she felt obligated to knock given what she’d overheard. Following her knock was the sound of things shifting, a couple of thuds, and the noise of something impacting the floor and subsequently one of their beds. At this point curiosity and concern had taken over, and Blake pushed into the room, golden eyes darting around as she tried to identify the source of all the noises.

“Hey Blake, what’s up?” Yang Xiao Long, messy golden locks splayed out on the pillows she was using to prop herself up, looked down in her direction from the precariously placed top ‘bunk’ for a moment, before returning to a book of her own in hand. As Blake looked at her she narrowed her eyes in suspicion, taking a few slow steps into the dorm room and meticulously looking over everything in sight. Whatever Yang had been up to she’d done a surprising job hidi-

“Yang.” Blake paused as she reached her bed - the bunk below Yang’s - brows raised in surprise and amusement before she looked back up to the blonde, whose lilac eyes were overflowing with guilt.

“Yes?” Doing everything she could to hide the guilt in her voice, Yang was clearly starting to sweat as Blake’s eyes bore into her.

“Did you happen to touch Gambol Shroud while I was away?” Glancing back down at her own bed, Blake could see her weapon laying on the top sheet unsheathed, the ribbon attached to the handle unwound and all over the place.

“What!? Why would you think that? I’ve obviously just been sitting here reading this whole time.” Yang gestured to the book in her hands with a nod of her head, Blake standing tall on her tiptoes to get a look at the cover.

“It’s upside down.” With a thin expression, Blake looked from the flipped cover back to Yang, whose eyes grew even wider.

“I’m reading in expert difficulty?” Forcing a bright smile, Yang kept up the act for only a second longer, before letting out a sigh and tossing the book onto her bed. “Alright, look…”

Yang jumped down from her bed, combing through her messy hair nervously as she stood beside Blake and glanced down at the weapon.

“Go on.” Gesturing out curiously as she watched Yang hop down, Blake couldn’t help but grin at the normally confident blonde acting so shyly. 

“So you know how in fights you use that ribbon to jump around, and it just stretches on and on? But then I see you hold it normally and there’s like, no ribbon! I just had to know what the deal was, so I found the end of it and started to unwind… and unwind… and unwind…” Bobbing her head in a twirling fashion as she continued to repeat the word unwind, Yang eventually paused and gestured openly to the weapon in disbelief. “I mean where does it even all come from!? Where does it even go! I was trying to put it back but-”

Blake reached down to Gambol Shroud, lifting the grip of the sword and shaking it a little to try and straighten out the ribbon. Shifting her weight, holding the weapon out in a dramatic fashion, Blake pushed a tiny hidden button at the hilt and the ribbon began to zip into the handle before all but the tiniest patch of cloth was left.

Yang stared in disbelief as the massive amount of ribbon that had been coating most of Blake’s bed had vanished into the tiny handle of the weapon before her. She continued to gawk as Blake sheathed the blade and set it down, before she walked up to Yang and gave her a quick peck on the cheek.

“I’ll show you the schematic one day, but for now I was hoping we could get lunch.” The kiss returned Yang’s senses to her as she shook off her confusion.

“Oh, can we get noodles? I think seeing the ribbon all over the place like that subconsciously made me think about Simple Wok.” Grinning as her stomach growled thinking about some type of endless noodle dispenser Yang looked down to Blake with a wink. “My treat.”

“Sounds good.” With a nod, Blake watched as Yang extended her arm out, and taking it with her own grin happily let herself be escorted down the hall towards the docks to Vale. “What were you pretending to read anyways?”

“Huh? Oh I’m not sure, it was all upside down. I think the title said something about ninjas, I just grabbed the first thing I found.” As Yang pondered the full title of the book she felt Blake suddenly twitch as if she’d been electrocuted. With a sideways look she wondered if the reaction had anything to do with the book’s title; she had found it under Blake’s pillow after all. “Wait, why?”

“No reason! I was just curious is all.” Blake’s cheeks were burning as she desperately avoided eye contact with Yang, who shrugged it off as the feeling of hunger outweighed her own curiosity.

As the two left down the hall, Weiss Schnee would return to the dorm after a lengthy day of training. Somewhat exhausted, she smiled as she stepped into the empty dorm, wondering if she’d have time to take a quiet bath and get some studying done. Still, as she set Myrtenaster down beside her bed, she glanced over to the bunks opposite  and frowned. The sheets on Yang’s bed were usually a disaster, but it looked like that same disaster had struck Blake’s as well.

Walking over, knowing her mind wouldn’t rest until order had been restored, she briefly flattened out the sheets on Blake’s bed before popping her head up to do a damage estimate on Yang’s. To her surprise, a book sat at the foot of the bed, and Weiss raised a brow as she reached out to grab it.

“Yang can read?”

Glancing at the title Weiss wondered if Blake had finally discovered a book Yang might find interest in, but as she opened it to a random page and let her eyes skim the contents, her cheeks blushed deeper and deeper.

Having arrived at the docks, Blake suddenly felt a disturbance in the air.

“Oh no…”

Bumbleby Week 2022 - Day 4: Beacon Days

@bumblebyweek-blog

Beacon Days: AOE Link - 

Beacon Academy had several dueling arena, many of which were cycled in and out for different lectures and classes. But when not in use they could be scheduled for training and practice.

Hence why black and gold flashes could be seen flickering across the circular stage, the ting of metal resounding as bullets were deflected and blades blocked by gauntlet strikes.

Yang was enjoying herself, sparring with Blake was always fun even when they didn't banter. Her partner was sturdier than her speedy fighting style would hint and much more aggressive too, but her creative Semblance use ensured it never got dull.

'She's getting testy,' Yang mused, well aware her decision to stay grounded and focus on counters was wearing on her partners patience.

Blake's shadows flickered and flashed in an ever tightening circle around her shots and Aura slashes trying to whittle Yang down while the blonde ducked, dodged and blocked the oncoming blows.

Yang's eyes few wide as a purple beam began surging towards her, too fast to dodge, she could only roar and let it smash against her bracer. Aura crashing against Aura, the sharp blade breaking against her barrier, the purple dispersing.

But Blake had laid her trap well, the other end of Gambol shroud coiling around Yang's ankle and letting the Faunus tug her partner off her feet.

Yang felt her stomach summersault but instinct told her to ground herself and with her legs flying out from under her all she could do was embed her fingers into the steel fleet.  

The metal shrieked and with her Aura infusing it she was able to resist Blake's mighty yank. Instead, she dragged her legs, her whole body back and pulled Blake to her!

The Faunus was ready in time though, using her black blade to stop Yang's double kick, but the blonde dropped her legs low, flipping Blake forward. The Faunus crashed against her and Yang wrapped Blake in her arms.

"Gotcha!" She cheered, pulling back to look at Blake's face and stilling, breath catching in her throat as her partners hair cascaded down around her, enshrouding Yang in darkness, so only the glow of Blake's eyes illuminated her face.

Blake leaned forward, Yang leaned forward, there was a moment and-

The alarm went off signaling their match was at an end, and they jolted apart, faces burning as they hastily gathered their things and raced out the door, side by side, but not looking at one another.

The silence was deafening, so much so, Yang welcomed the distant shouts of, "Who wrecked the floor!?"

Forcing a chuckle, she muttered, "Guess we got a little carried away."

Blake's low laugh was music to her ears, "I guess we did, but that's not always a bad thing."

"No... Its not..."

Their hands brushed, and they didn't quite take each other's hands, but they stayed close the entire walk back to their dorms.
