3rd person pov

Pyrrh: You mentioned I had the wrong idea about Cardi. What did you mean by that?

Y/N: Well... he is a bit standoffish, and rough- b-but he's a good guy, he means we'll at times

Pyrrh: Still, I'm not exactly a fan of his bigotry

Y/N: ...Yeah

Lowering his head as they walked together the teen rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly, not really used to doing stuff like this, especially in a time where he's just so confused.

The red head turned his gaze towards Y/N and took a deep breath, able to tell he was more distracted with other things. His hand began to rise a bit before pointing off in a direction, catching the other's attention.

Pyrrh: Do you want to check out over there? Smells nice, right?

Y/N: Huh? Oh, uh, yeah. Guess we could get something to eat

Pyrrh: I'm sure there'll be somewhere with food we both enjoy

Timeskip

Pyrrh: I can't believe there's nowhere with food we both enjoy

The teen stood there awkwardly, his tastes in food being rather... simple compared to the Red head. Noticing the look on hid classmates face Pyrrh composed himself before approaching him.

Y/N: ...Why did you invite me out?

Pyrrh: Hm? To get to know you better

Y/N: You could've just asked if we could study or whatever. This makes it weird

Now it was Pyrrh's time and be confused although he kept his gaze on Y/N who rubbed his arm. He breathed in deeply, trying to find a way to tell him this only to let out a weary chuckle.

Y/N: Y-You made me think this was a date or something

This seemed like the wrong thing to say as the red head froze, not saying anything as their eyes slowly met, trying to see if either of them were going to react or at least give some indication of communication.

Being the one to break their stare Pyrrh turned his head to the side and started to fiddle with his hair, some of it having fallen over his shoulder, so he just twirled it with a conflicted look.

Y/N: ...Was it?

Pyrrh: I don't know how to approach someone to be friends.

Y/N: Really? Seems like your a natural at it

Pyrrh: Thanks... to be honest, I have no clue what I wanted this to be. But I'm guessing you don't like guys, so a date's not an option

Standing there while conflict ran through Y/N's mind he noticed Pyrrh's expression which caused the conflict to only grow, but why? It'd be easy to say he wasn't and just completely shut down that idea, even if it wasn't... entirely true.

Once again, in Y/N's ever busy mind stood the command centre of his mind with all the different emotions, feelings and body parts no longer in unison, now really split in many teams.

Denial: It's our job to keep him on the right path!

Gay Thoughts: We can't just do that to Pyrrh though. He's such a sweet guy

Straight Thoughts: That's the problem! He's a guy

Gay Thoughts: As if he hated being kissed by Neo, face it. I'm in charge now

This arguement continued until one figure approach the "control console" and pressed a button causing everyone to look over, with the figure turning, a meek look on his face.

Denial: ...You

Compassion: ...I don't think we should fight, only work for what's best, even if it's for someone other then us

Back in the real world the teen's lips trembled as he was struggling with what he wanted to say, having many different thoughts and feelings about his ever changing Sexuality and preferences.

Y/N: I... I do... do wanna know what you ment by not knowing how to make friends

Pyrrh: I'm basically a prize fighter, been like that for years. It's hard to tell who's being genuine or fake... that's why I approached you for this

There was a faint but sweet smile gracing the red head's lips, his eyes turning to Y/N for a moment causing what could only be called a blush to tint the teen's cheeks, although it's not like he knew.

Y/N: Who says I'm not doing the same?

Pyrrh: Because when we met you were a nervous wreck who didn't start fanboying, and when i laughed at your name-

Y/N: Thanks for that

Pyrrh: Sorry. But when I did, you didn't laugh it off or anything or agree, you walked off. If that isn't ruining someone's chances to start sucking up, I don't know what is

Y/N: I'm sure there are other people in Beacon who would treat you normally, and return how you feel properly

As he crossed his arms and looked away Pyrrh quickly approached him, placing his hand on Y/N's cheek only to feel it warm up. Gently turning his head towards himself he smiled.

Pyrrh: Probably. Jaune's a nice guy too, but

The red head leaned up slowly, standing on his heels just a bit before Y/N tensed up. After a few seconds Pyrrh took a step back, his hands gently folding behind his back while the smile stayed.

Pyrrh: I chose you. So whenever you're ready to be yourself, I'll be waiting for you.. don't keep me too long though

Giving a wave he began to walk off while the teen just stood there, his face frozen in a state between acceptance and nervousness. As the red head walked away and he watched he eventually turned around.

He took a short jaunt over to a bench and placed himself down on it, soon burying his face in them and letting out a silent groan, attempting to figure out what the hell he was going to do.

Timeskip

The day of the trip came, with a few teams being sent to Forever Falls. As Glynn began to tell everyone the possible dangers of what may happen and that they shouldn't wonder off alone, the teen looked down.

To him there were three options to go with. His team, which seemed like the natural choice, Pyrrh's team so he could possibly talk to him about what happened, and Cardi's team so he had a person to confide in.

With everyone beginning to walk off he dragged his feet a bit and grabbed a jar to start filling the sap from the trees. Being dressed in his Hyntsmam outfit filled him with a bit of confidence, but there was still that feeling lurking in his mind.

Without realising where he was going Y/N walked into someone causing his head to rise as he stumbled back a bit. What he was met with was seeing someone bending over to pick up their book.

?: ...My jar's cracked

Y/N: Oh, um- sorry, have mine

The guy stood back up and turned his head, allowing the teen to see him properly, the last member of Team RWBY that he'd barely interacted with. What first stood out to him, with the male's piercing Amber eyes.

The iris' seemed to be narrowed like a cats would be, with long black hair tied back by a bow that sat atop his head, almost looking like cats ears. Not only that, but the monotone colour of his outfit and silent yet soft tone gave every impression of a cat to the teen.

?: No, then you'll be without one. You want to just go together?

Y/N: B-But your team

?: They're all with JNPR anyway, I was lagging behind. Guess you weren't going going go with yours either

Y/N: Not really... I'm-

?: Y/N, I know. Ying still complains about you

Y/N: I left that bad of an impression?

He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly as he turned his gaze downwards only to feel a hand pat at his back, the cat like male beginning to walk forward while gesturing for him to follow along.

?: I'm Blake by the way. So you're not the only one with a weird name

Y/N: Huh? How's it weird?

Blake: Catch up and you'll find out!

Having walked a good bit ahead of Y/N, the teen started to pick up his pace in order to he walking along side him, at least finding this guy to not be too bad, even if the rest of his teammates were a bit weird.

Upon catching up the teen held the jar under his arm and glanced over to Blake book curiously although it was hard to male out the words on the page thanks to the swaying from walking.

With neither of then saying anything, one out of awkwardness and a struggling inner conflict while the other was just antisocial, they just kept pace alongside one and another, their feet gently crunching under the grass.

After maybe a few minutes of this they stopped at a clearing and Y/N spotted a large enough tree near the edge causing the both of them to head over, with Blake grabbing what looking like a tap head that had a spike on the end.

He jammed it into the tree with Y/N placing the jar underneath. The cat like male began to turn the tap but nothing came out, even after a short wait given how thick sap was, but even still there was nothing.

Blake: What? Oh come on, there's gotta be something in this

Jiggling the tap it suddenly broke off, with the red sticky and thick liquid somehow shooting out and landing on Blake who raised his hands to try and protect himself from it.

He groaned,the red liquid started to soak into the white of his clothes making it turn slightly see through. Flicking his hands to try and get it off the two were suddenly accosted by Grimm roaring, attracted by the scent of the sap.

It charged towards the cat like male, knocking him to the ground before he could draw his weapon causing Y/N to freeze briefly, seeing his classmate about to be attacked.

On instinct to try and held he grabbed his sword from his back and slashed downwards, the Ursa's head landing by Blake's feet. Standing there for a moment as the body fell he slowly offered a hand out to Blake.

Y/N: Are you okay?

Looking up to the teen he felt a faint twang in his chest, being so swiftly helped by someone who moments before seemed to be so non combative was certainly a shock. But it helped him see Y/N in a different light, just not one he thought he would.

He reached up to take his hand while his cheeks went red, but suddenly the edge they were on collapsed, the two falling down and through the trees below them, with yells escaping both of them.

With the trees and their aura breaking their fall the two laid on the ground, groaning softly. Y/N held his side, his sword landing what felt like maybe a few inches from his gentleman area.

He started to shoot backwards before turning onto his back, staring up at the sky above him through the red leaves he felt... good. Not from the fall, that hurt, but the act of saving someone.

Blake: You survive...?

Y/N: Someh- Ow

Ying: Are you okay, Blake?

Pyrrh: We came when we heard the screaming!

Mercury: That's a weird thing to come to

With all three teams having approached to investigate what had happened Blake climbed to his feet as Y/N stayed down on the ground, only for him to lean down and  offer a hand to the teen.

The problem was he wasn't the only one, with both Neo and Pyrrh having head to the fallen male, both also offering their hand to him in order to help him up. To some this seemed like generosity, to others? A choice, or an ultimatum.

(Lemme know what you think.)
