I was so happy that I pulled the smaller girl into a hug. She didn't struggle either, just returning the hug in full force.

When we finally broke we smiled at eachother.

"Do you want to go back to the dorms?" I asked, a little excited to tell everyone we were going to go on a date.

She nodded, "I still need to spend time with my sister."

I nodded back to her and we started to walk back down the path.

It didn't take long for our hands to start brushing against each other so I thought to myself, 'why the hell not' and grabbed her hand. She tensed up for a moment then relaxed, squeezing my hand.

We both walked in complete silence with smiles on our faces. As we walked in through the doors of the school, we went to meet Team RWBY and JNPR for dinner. When we walked into the dining hall, Weiss and I were still holding hands so we got looks of relief, jealousy and knowing.

"Finally!" Yang yelled from our table, everyone in the dining hall turned to look at the screaming girl, "It took you two long enough!"

I looked down at Weiss who was blushing redder than a tomato and smiled. I let go of her hand and put my arm around her shoulders so she would lean into me and gave Winter a thumbs up, woh nodded in response.

I lead Weiss over to the buffet table then we went to our table.

"So," I looked over at Weiss after eating a mouthful of food, "Our date."

"What about it?" she asked.

I had time to think this through on the way back, "Tomorrow, I'll pick you up around seven. Dress casual."

She cocked an eyebrow. "What did you have in mind?"

I smirked, "Now that would ruin the surprise."

Yang, Ruby and Winter snickered at how deep a blush weiss had on her face.

"Right!" Ruby said after collecting herself, "Since we're second years now, we have a mission next week."

"Cool!" Yang said.

"What's the mission?" asked Weiss.

"We are clearing the grimm out of an area and putting up guard fences for a nearby town to build a watchtower." Ruby replied, "According to the reports Ozpin showed me, there are a few beowolf packs, all with alphas and a few ursas and gryphons."

"Sounds dangerous." Blake said, "Are you sure we're ready?"

Ruby nodded, "Ozpin seems to think so. Besides, he want's us to bring Alex and Grant."

"Ok." Blake replied.

"Awe Yeah!" Grant chanted, "We should totally call ourselves Silver RWBY!"

Ruby stared at him with a serious expression, "That. Sounds. AWESOME!" She cheered.

I smiled, "Great name Grant!" I shoveled the the last bit of food into my mouth then stood up, "I have to go get some homework done so I won't get in trouble with Oobleck this year."

"Ok, see you later Alex." Ruby said.

"Yep see ya guys." I waved then exited the cafeteria.

Once I got back to my room, it hit.

Hey Alex. The voice spoke maniacally, We need to talk.

It was Axel.

"What do you want?" I sneered.

Oh feisty, Axel chuckled, I thought I told you not to find your brother?

"Not like I had much choice." I said, "Why are you talking to me now? Why not wait for me to fall asleep."

In light of you finally getting a girlfriend, I'm going to suppress the dream tonight. It's going to take a lot of my power so we won't be speaking for at least a week. So, I'm going to give you another...gift. You'll see in the morning. Goodnight Alex. With that the voice in my head stopped and disappeared.

I sat down at my desk and got to work, though I couldn't concentrate. What did the voice want and why did it chose tonight to suppress the dream? A gift. What had he meant? I had a bad feeling about this but I chose not to let it bother me, for now.

Finally I finished my homework. Good thing too because I starting to get a headache. It was about nine so I just got ready for bed.

Grant walked in just as I was coming out of the bathroom gripping the side of my head.

"Alex?" Grant asked, "What's wrong?"

"I have headache." I told him.

"Oh, ok." He said then his expression changed into a frown, "You know, if anything happens you can tell me right?"

I raised an eyebrow, "What brought this on?"

He shook his head then smiled up at me, "Never mind. Night Alex."

I nodded my head then laid in my bed, letting sleep take me away. There were no dreams, no pain, no people in my head. It was the best sleep I've had in months.

When I woke up the next morning I felt kind of weird. Grant was still asleep so I tried to quietly move to the bathroom but I tripped over my sheath, making a small clinging noise that made me flinch. That's when I felt something move on top of my head.

I looked over to Grant who was still sleeping then felt the top of my my head. Something felt different. It was like something was sticking out the top of my head.

"Wait." I whispered, "It can't...can it?"

I ran into the bathroom and shut the door. Once I flicked the light on I screamed. Yes, a literal high pitched scream that probably woke up Grant and the room on the other side of the wall, team RWBY's dorm.

On top of my head was jet black wolf ears. Yep, wolf ears. I knew I was a faunus but it was only fangs, claws and eyes. Now, I have ears.

Suddenly there was pounding on the bathroom door.

"Alex! Open the door! Are you alright?" Grant called in a panicked voice.

"Uh...I'm fine!" I called back, "I think."

"You think?" Grant repeated, "Alex open the door or I'm breaking it down!"

I took a deep breath and opened the door.

Grant looked at my ears and his eyes went wide, "Dude. What the-"

"I woke up like this." I told him.

Suddenly I remembered the voice saying something about a gifat.

"Shit." I said under my breath.

I looked at Grant, "What do I do!" I exclaimed, "I have a date tonight! I can't have wolf ears!"

"I thought Weiss was cool with you being a faunus?" Grant asked.

"Yeah but I never had extreme physical traits!"

Grant thought for a moment before responding, "I think they look cool."

"Wow" I said, "You really are my brother."

"Well what do you want me to say!" he spoke with heavy sarcasm in his voice, "'Don't worry Alex! They are just temporary!'"

"That was just insensitive!" I whined.

"I'm just a normal person! I don't know how this works!" Grant protested

Suddenly, there was a knock on our door followed by some yelling, a battle cry then finally, Yang kicking open the door and team RWBY literally falling into our room. I quickly stepped back into the bathroom and shut the door.

"Are you guys alright?" Yang asked.

"Uh, I think so." Grant said, "Blake can you come here for a sec?"

"Sure..." Blake walked into the bathroom where I was sitting on the toilet seat. Grant followed her then locked the door behind him.

"Woah." She said when she saw me, "When did that happen?"

"Somethime last night." I told her.

"Is this..." Grant crossed his arms and tried to think of a word, "Normal?"

Blake thought for a moment, "Not usually but Alex isn't the most normal person or faunus I've ever met."

"So?" I urged.

"So, considering how you just found out you were a faunus a few months ago, it's possible you're still developing. This would make sense considering there weren't faunus where you came from." She explained.

"What do I do?" I asked.

"Live with it." then she smirked, "Weiss will probably think you're adorable. You've seen her with Zwei."

I blushed, "But I don't want to be her pet!" I protested, "I want to be her boyfriend." I blushed harder at the word boyfriend, I sighed then stood up, "You know what? Just open the door."

Grant smiled than lead blake and I out of the bathroom.

Team RWBY was sitting on the beds waiting for us to come out.

"THEY'RE SO CUTE!" Ruby squealed as she came over in a cloud of rose petals and started to rub my ears.

"Hey!" I protested, "Ruby stop!"

She let out a nervous giggle and rubbed the back of her head, "Oops, sorry."

"Ruby?" I said.

"Um yep?" She asked.

"That means remove your hands from my ears." I said in a calm voice, still blushing.

Yang laughed, "Nice going Wolfie."

I growled, "Yang..." Then my eyes drifted over to Weiss who was staring in awe.

"Weiss?" I asked hesitantly.

She blushed and met my eyes, "They're adorable."

I couldn't help but smile as I put my arm around the white haired girl's shoulders.

"Good!" I said, "Because you're stuck with me!"

Weiss turned a deeper shade of red but looked up at me in her usual icy tone, "I wouldn't

have it any other way."

"Awe!" Yang fawned, "You two are so cute together! Let me get a picture!"

"You try it you die!" Weiss and I said in unison.

Soon the whole room was laughing, as we wordlessly headed for breakfast in our pajamas.

"So Alex..." Weiss said as we walked.

"Yep." I urged.

Weiss looked forward a smirked, "You want to be my boyfriend huh?"

I blushed a deep shade of red and froze making Weiss giggle a bit.

"I....uh...I mean..." I thought words but none of them came out.

Weiss smiled and waited for everyone to turn the corner before she spoke.

She kissed my cheek and smiled, "Ok then."

I took a moment for it to click than I was smiling too. I wrapped my arm around Weiss's shoulders and lead her down the hall.

Only one thought ran through my head all morning, 'Weiss is my girlfriend'
