Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY. If I did then I'd do more with Glynda's character, try and give her more traits and round her out.

(Y/N)'s POV

The door to my temporary room lets out a squeak as it opens. Light from the hallway pours into the dark room, leaving my shadow framed in its radiance. Peering into the pitch black room, I get flashes to times when fierce eyes would stare back at me from the darkness. A cold chill starts to run up my spine as I scramble to reach the light switch. Once my fingers find the switch, I quickly flip the thing up and illuminate the room. My muscles go lax as a sigh leaves me. Not wanting to linger in the hallway any longer than I already have, my feet carry me into my room, after which I shut the door. Its at this moment, as I stand in the room, trying to calm my nerves, that I'm grateful the headmaster just wanted to talk with Glynda. Now she can't see me acting like a child who's scared of the dark.

Shaking those thoughts from my head, I silently make my way over to the window and open the blinds before then heading to the bed to have a seat. I do my best to not make a sound as I do all of that. Only when I am completely on the mattress do I remember that I don't have to have my weapon still on my person. I guess old habits die hard. In a swift motion my katana is laid on the nightstand near my bed. While I'm already reaching over there I might as well turn on the lamp. Not like having some more light in the room will do me any harm. With a click, the lamp comes to life, causing me to give a quick smile as I can relax even more. Now that all of that is done, I am able to mull over my thoughts of the evening. My mind soon wanders to earlier this afternoon, right after we beat back the Grimm incursion. After Glynda and I had taken out the Nevermore and Ursa, much like we did in the past. My hand rises up and gently touches my lips as I remember her sudden kiss. Honestly I don't even remember walking up to her, I just remember seeing her and then suddenly having her tender lips pressed to mine. My hand lowers as I smile, it was certainly a step up from the last kiss she gave me. Earlier today I just thought I'd have the one meeting with the headmaster, never thought so much would happen.

As I reminisce, the door opens up and in walks a tired looking Glynda. Her glasses are a little lower on her nose than she usually allows and some strands of hair are starting to come loose. Her shoulders are slumped as she carries her tablet in one hand and has her riding crop strapped to her hip. She lets out a huff before her emerald eyes land on me. I give her a smile and soon a smile grows on her face.

"All done with the headmaster?" After my question, my former professor nods while shutting the door.

"Finally. We needed to figure out how much damage was done during the incursion, how many were injured, and how this happened. We also still had business from the original meeting to go over." As she talks, she walks over to the bed and nightstand, "Plus I had some things in my office that I needed to attend to. If I had known the school was going to be attacked, I wouldn't have pushed so much paperwork off until today." The last one earns a chuckle from me.

"If I had known about the last part, I could have come to help you." She smiled as she looked at me from the corner of her eyes. Right now she was setting her tablet, riding crop, and glasses down on the nightstand.

"Just like in the past?" I give her a happy nod as she then moves over and sits to my right. While she takes off her high heels and throw them off to the side, the green eyed huntress says, "Well as much as I would have enjoyed the help and the nostalgia, you needed to see the nurse. You did do that, right?" She gets a little stern with the last sentence as she cocks an eyebrow while looking at me. I let out a defeated sigh as I respond.

"Yes Glynda, I made sure to see the nurse. She gave me a weird look when I said you wanted her to email you about the check up, but she told me she would do it. You should be getting it after she's done with all of the injured." Her brow lowers as she nods, accepting my answer.

"Thank you (Y/N)." She then scoots a little closer to me as some evening sunlight starts to come in through a window, "So did you do anything else besides the check up?"

"Well, after I got done with the nurse, I roamed around the school to try and help wherever I could and to familiarize myself with the school. Helped get some students calmed down, helped some injured get to the infirmary, just simple stuff like that." Glynda nods as she looks off at nothing in particular. Slowly, she moves so the her head is resting on my shoulder, causing my cheeks to heat up. She seems comfortable though, so I don't make any actions to get her to move.

"Maybe sometime tomorrow, I can help show you around the campus. Since you've been gone, the school has changed enough that you could get lost." I chuckle a little from that.

"Yes, I have figured that out." I decide to not mention that I got lost on my way to the nurse or to my room, "But as long as you aren't busy, I wouldn't mind a tour of my old school from my favorite teacher." When she hears that, Glynda wraps one of her arms around me and pulls me closer for a couple of seconds before then letting go.

"And I would love nothing more than to spend time with me former student." Her voice is soft when she says that and in response, I wrap my arm around her and do the same thing she did, but when I finish with the one armed hug, I leave my arm around the beautiful woman. I can hear her breathing grow a little unsteady, but she doesn't do anything to move my arm or move away from me. After a couple of minutes of nothing happening, I leave my arm around her, thinking she's okay with this. Wanting to keep the conversation going, I decide to let my curiosity get the better of me.

"So did you ever find out what cause the horde of Grimm to attack so suddenly?" The blonde teacher lets out a groan before speaking.

"Yes, we did eventually find out what caused the attack." That earns a confused look from me.

"Then why the groan?"

"Because of who caused this." She picks her head up from my shoulder, but doesn't move too far away from me so that I can keep my arm where it is, "While I was talking with the general and headmaster, we were interrupted by a couple of Atlas soldiers. General Ironwood had sent them out to chase off any Grimm that might still be lurking in the woods, when they found a small White Fang camp. Since they had the element of surprise and because the fanatics seemed injured, the soldiers were able to capture all of them. Though they didn't get much out of them, the soldiers did learn that the White Fang had herded some Grimm towards the school and got the monsters riled up before sicking them on the school. Judging by some of their injuries, the Grimm went after their captors first." Hearing those words stun me. Yes the people who attacked team RWBY were White Fang members, but I assumed they were just fringe fanatics of the group. For them to be able to pull this big of a stunt off would take more than just a couple of misguided members. If one organization can change so much in my absence, what else has changed? "(Y/N)?" Glynda's voice pulls me back to the present, as I turn and look to her.

"Yes?" She has a concerned look on her face as she moves a little closer to me.

"Are you okay? You spaced out on me." I pull her closer to me for a couple of seconds while also smiling at her, hoping to put her at ease.

"I'm fine, I was just thinking about how much things have changed while I was gone." She scowls a little bit before giving me a nod in understanding.

"Alright." She then pauses before continuing, "Don't worry too much about other things like the White Fang. Right now just focus on yourself. After everything you've gone through, you have earned that much." Given the tone in her voice, I decide to not argue with her on this.

"Alright, fair enough." She smiles at me before flinching a little. When I turn to look in the direction she was facing, I soon find out why and flinch myself. While we have been talking, the sun has lowered itself to an angle that is just right for the light to reflect off of her glasses on the nightstand and blind us.

"I think I should close the blinds." When I hear her say that, my heart races as my eyes snap open.

"No!" My teacher is taken back by this as she pulls away from me enough that I have to pull me arm back to me. With a bewildered look on her face she then questions my outburst.

"No? Why? The room is already so lit with the lights and the lamp, we don't really need the sunlight as well." I quickly shake my head in response.

"No, please just leave them open." My palm starts to get clammy as Glynda stands up from the bed, still looking at me confused.

"Okay then..." She has a puzzled tone to her voice before she then continues, "Well at least let me turn off the main light. We ha-" Before she can continue, I interrupt her.

"No! J-just leave the lights on please. We can move your glasses or, uh, I don't know." As I speak, I'm only growing more and more nervous, "Just leave the lights on please."

"Why are you getting so nervous, (Y/N)?" Glynda's confused tone is slowly being replaced by a worried one as she speaks, "Is something wrong?" I'm starting to shake some as I have realized that I've let my fears get the better of me while in front of the one person who I never wanted to them.

"J-just please leave the... leave the lights on... I-I don't want it...." My head lowers as I feel some sweat form on my face. I grip my leg with my hand while trying and failing to stop shaking. I can't see Glynda right now, but I do eventually hear her footsteps as she walks over to the window and closes the blinds. My head snaps up to look at her, but she has already turned around and is walk back to me. As I shake, my old school teacher slowly sits down on the bed and places her right hand over mine and her left hand on my shoulder.

"(Y/N)." Glynda's voice is soft and low, as if she is trying to sooth me, "What's wrong?" At first I can't bring myself to speak as I keep trembling, but after what feels like an eternity, I manage to speak in a voice barely above a whisper.

"I just... I just don't like the dark." She leans in closer to me after I speak and gently asks.

"I'm sorry, (Y/N), I couldn't hear you." I gulp as my hand's grip tightens.

"I don't like the dark." This time, Glynda is taken back by my words as I continue, "Because of the Grimm being darker, night was always the most dangerous time on Periculum. I just don't like it when its dark." I look down again in shame, not wanting to see her reaction to my confession. Before long, she pulls me into a tight hug, holding me in a protective manner.

"I'm sorry, (Y/N), I didn't know." There is some sadness and guilt in her voice as she holds me. Being so close to her and in such a manner, I can feel my fear losing its grip on me as I start to lean into the hug. Slowly, my arm moves and wraps itself back around her as I now return the hug. The two of us then sit there in each other's arms silently, as my body slowly stops shaking and relaxes. Once my breathing is under control and my body is steady, we both lean back so that we can better look at each other, "Better?" I give her a slow nod and a small smile in response as I see water well in her emerald eyes, "I guess this is why you wanted the light on last night when I left?"

"Yeah..." My voice is calmer now as I speak, but is still hushed. Some tears start to overflow from her eyes as she speaks.

"I wish I hadn't let you go or that I was the one who went with you to Periculum." I move my hand up to cup her cheek and wipe some of the tears away from her face.

"I'm glad you didn't go with me. It's not a fun vacation location." With tears still falling down her beautiful face, the huntress places a hand over mine and softly laughs.

"(Y/N)." That's all she says as we look each other in the eyes, now smiling at one another.

"I'm serious. If I'm taking you anywhere its going to be a nice resort. Maybe one of those hot springs over in Mistral." She laughs again as she holds onto my hand. The beautiful huntress then moves her head and gently kisses my hand before moving back to how she was.

"Are you sure you'd want to take your old teacher to one of those?" My head nods as I move closer to her.

"Get the chance to see a beautiful woman at a hot spring? You better believe I do." Her smile grows as a red blush grows on her cheeks, "It would make for a great second date." She looks a little puzzled at first before her face lights up from the memory.

"(Y/N), that wasn't a date." Her voice now has a happy and embarrassed tone to it as I wipe away any remaining tears on her cheek.

"We had dinner, I walked you home, and you gave me a kiss. I'm gonna count that as a date." Glynda's blush only grows as she smiles and lunges forward and hugs me again, this time for a much happier reason. As we sit there in our second hug of the evening, I notice that the light coming from behind he blinds has dimmed, signalling that the sun has set. I eventually pull back and look at the clock to find that it is now night time. Glynda soon follows my gaze and sees the time as well. In a sadder voice, I then say, "It's getting late. You should probably get going." Glynda then turns back to me and gives me a soft smile.

"Would you like me to stay?" I perk up at her offer and feel my cheeks start to heat up again.

"I... I would love that." When she hears my words, Glynda's smile grows as she reaches back behind her head and undoes the bun she had that was holding her hair in place. Her blonde locks fall down, now free to be in their natural state. As she shakes her head to free more hair, I add on, "But I don't have another bed though, so I can sleep on the floor if you want." She shakes her head no before she leans towards me again. At first I thought she was going in for another hug, but that is proven wrong when she gently kisses my lips. I look at her in shock, but she just has her eyes closed as she kisses me. This isn't like the kiss from earlier. That sudden kiss was more aggressive and rough. This kiss is much more controlled and measured, but still holds the same amount of passion as the first on. When it becomes clear to me that she's not pulling away anytime soon, I relax and use my arm to pull her closer to me. Once I do, I then feel her push against me, as if she is trying to get me to lay back on the bed. Being more focused on the kiss and not having much of a problem with this, I let her. Soon enough, we are both laying down on the bed, with her partially laying on top of me. Now comfortable on the bed, Glynda slowly pulls back, breaking our kiss. In a soothing voice she then says to me.

"The bed is big enough for both of us." She then lowers her head to rest herself on my chest. My face now feels like its on fire as I process everything that's going on.

"A-are you sure?" Glynda gives me a nod as her hand move up to rest on my chest, right over my heart.

"I'm sure, (Y/N)." Now knowing she is okay with this, I gulp and do my best to not come off as the nervous mess that I currently am.

"Should we-" Before I can finish my sentence, she moves her hand from my heart and rests a slender finger against my lips, silencing me.

"We can talk about the details tomorrow, (Y/N). Right now, just rest." Not knowing how else to respond to that, I just give her a nod. When she gets the answer that she wants, the blonde teacher then uses her semblance to turn off the main light to the room. Despite everything being darker now, I don't get as anxious as I usually do because now I have Glynda here with me. Her hand then rests back on my chest before she simply smiles and closes her eyes. Soon after, I let out a deep sigh as I close my eyes and slowly drift off to sleep.

So I get that this might have an air of finality to it, but this story isn't over just because the reader and Glynda have gotten together. I still have a couple more chapters I want to do. Originally I wanted to make this have more in it, but I realized that would have made this chapter feel really inconsistent in terms of subject matter and tone, so I broke the original in two. Anyways, I'm gonna go now and work on the rest of this chapter and a one-shot, so have a great day/night depending on when/where you're reading this.
