A few days had come to pass after (L/n)SMN's fight with Team CRDL. Most of the members would wake up as they usually would. Gloria often waking up first and hogging the bath room long before the others would wake up,(y/n) would shortly follow after as Nathan would join them they all began to notice that most of their morning's. They're cloaked teammate would always disappear, not appearing in their door room, usually located in another spot in the campus, be it near a lone tree, The fountain, etc. He would come back before classes start, the other three questioned him why, but never bothered to really ask.

" Have any of you guys ever wonder what he does?" (y/n) asked to the others as they both shook their heads " Never came to our mind." Gloria said as Nate nodded, " Maybe we should ask some of the other teams? " Nathan suggested.

" Blake and Ren both seem to be early birds. So they might be our best." Gloria said as he began to get dressed in his causal attire. At the mention of the Faunus(y/n)'s heart fluttered ever so slightly along with a small blush, Something Nathan took note of.

" Does someone fancy a certain Belladonna~? " Nate said with an ever so cocky smirk,(y/n) didn't even bother to hide it as he slowly nodded his head. " I wouldn't s-say no to it.." He admitted as Nathan chuckled loudly and slapped(y/n) on the back " That's our leader! Already has his heart set on a girl!"(y/n) blushed deeper and hid himself in his shirt as Gloria looked at both of them and smiled. " Alright Nathan, Spare our leader of the torment, we have a mystery to go solve." Gloria said as he stood up and began to exit the dorm(y/n) and Nate quickly following after as a glorious mood was radiating from them.

As they caught up to Gloria, it wasn't long until they reached Team RWBY's dorm to which(y/n) took the lead and knocked on it softly. It wasn't long before the door slowly swung open as all three of them were greeted with a yawning Ruby, " Morning guys!, what could I help you with this fine morning? " Ruby addressed with her usual upbeat tone.

(y/n) smiled back warmly at her. " Hey Rubes!, sorry for bothering you so early but we were seeing if we could find out where Cole wonders off too during the morning..Just wondering if any of you girls might have saw him." Ruby paused and though for a moment, " Wait here for a minute. " She spoke before closing the door, a few minutes later it opened once more as the rest of RWBY was now accompanying their leader.  " So what's up with a missing teammate?" 

After(y/n) had run RWBY through about how Cole was missing every morning.

" We've seen him once or twice. Never saw him in a rush or anything of the line. He always seemed relaxed." Yang said as leaned on the wall as both teams moved out into the hall way all leaning or sitting against the wall as they discussed.

" Any ideas as to what he would be doing? " Nathan asked as he had both hands behind his head as he rested. Yang shook her head as Ruby's eyes sparkled " Ooo!. Maybe he's doing some sort of training!"(y/n) paused and raised an eyebrow. Before finally coming up with an idea.  " Why don't we just go looking for him rather then guess and assume? " He said as he got up from his spot on the floor. "I mean it's a Saturday and we all have nothing better to do right? " 

RWBY and (L/n)MN looked at each other and nodded. " Then it's settled. We're hunting for Solomon!"(y/n) chuckled softly as everyone seemed in on the little game. Even Weiss had a small smile. 

" Alright so here's the plan! " (y/n) said as they all stood next the fountain in the middle of Beacon. " We'll all split up and look up and down the Academy for him. And when one of us does find him let us know, But above all else, do not let him see you!" And once they had a game plan, everything went into motion as(y/n) shouted " GO!" And everyone booked it like a Nevermore outta hell.

Thus began in a wide search all over campus. Be it in the halls of the dorms, all of them passing each other and letting know what was clear. Half an hour of search lead to no results of Cole.(y/n) began to get ready to call it quits and regroup. Walking back to his dorm as he was ready to text the others to come back.

But something stopped him.

With his keen hearing (y/n) could faintly hear voices, looking away from his scroll(y/n) got up from his bed and looked out the window next to his and Cole's bed. And there he was. sitting by the tree(y/n) had spotted him a few days ago was the many they were all looking for, Cole had his clones with him as their were five figures and they all were sitting down, all expect one sat down as the other stood up and it seemed like they were discussing something, no it was for sure something else. It was a mixture of instruments..Music?  

( Too those who don't know want to listen.)

Intrigued(y/n) took out his scroll and swiftly texted the others to come to his dorm as(y/n) slowly moved through the window undecided as he got closer, and as he did so, it became so much clearer that what Cole was doing. He was singing believe it or not!

" Where have you been?" Sang one standing up in a smooth and calm voice, " Been searching all along..Come facing twilight on and on.." As the standing Cole's voice faded.

" Without a clue."  All four of the sitting clones sang in unison suddenly!

"Without a sound."  The rest continued to sing in unison as it appeared they were the background singers. The whole pitch and aura they radiated was oddly calming and relaxing.(y/n) could feel himself beginning to relax as he smiled softly, turning around to see that everyone else had join him.

 "The real question is to be asked." Started the standing Cole as he took a deep breath " Where have I been? " His last line faded out as the instrumental continued on for a few more seconds. 

(y/n) looked back once more as everyone just watched on. Ruby and Nora both were laying down and actually listening it seemed as their head swayed with their singing, Yang and Pyrrha were both recording it on their scrolls with a small smile, Weiss and Ren both stood and watched both bewildered and confused, Blake and Jaune both watched with a small smile as they watched, tapping their foot to the beat slow jazz.

And last but not least, Gloria and Nathan. Gloria looked with a mixture of both astonished and impressed at what he was currently seeing as Nathan was trying to holding laughter as how funny he found this.

" I'm a shape shiftier!, At Poe's mascaraed..." Cole picked up once more as he slowly began to turn around as he had his eyes closed. " Hiding both face and Mind. All free for you too draw.." He finished as he slowly opened his eye sand looked up " I'm a shap-!" He suddenly stopped with a gasp and jumped back a little as he pulled his cloak around him defensively.

"Why are all of you here?!" He shouted with an obvious nervous and embarrassed tone as evident from his know blushing face as everyone chuckled softly before Nathan walked forward. " So is this what you've been doing every time your gone? " The blonde smirked as he had his hands behind his back and that trademark smirk. 

" As if that isn't obvious enough..." He sighed as he puffed his cheeks and looked away, looking almost ashamed as he did so. " Well I certainly enjoyed the short sample." Ruby giggled as she smiled sweetly. 

" Why didn't you told us you Sang Coleslaw? "  Yang said as she walked up to Nathan and slung an arm around his shoulder as Cole tugged the hood around his cloak closer and his clones vanished in a puff of smoke. " Because I'm shy about this sorta stuff.." He admitted as he avoided eye contact, uncomfortable  

  (y/n) Took note as he placed a hand on Cole's shoulder and smiled. " Bro, you have nothing to worry about, we all loved it!" The Faunus leader smiled and gave the cloaked man a pat on the back as comfort. " So would you be willing to continue where you left of Partner? "(y/n)  said giving his friend a warm smile.

Cole blush began to dim as he looked to the ground before slowly nodding his head before looking up at the others, " I'll do it, b-but only if you guys don't record anymore then what you saw...Please." He said as Yang and Pyrrha both nodded and put their scrolls away before Cole nodded his head and turned back. Re-summoning his four clones and shortly after the music began to play once more.

" I'm shapeshifter..." He picked up once more as his eyes were closed and his tone was still nervous, but as he continued on it began to mellow out, slowly going back to the relaxing and calm tone he had when he started out.

As Cole began to sing once more(y/n) an idea came to mind as he looked over to Blake, whom was just listening to the music and leaning against a tree. Looking stunning as ever. The long jet black yet smooth looking hair, Golden amber eyes that could melt even the coldest of hearts..Uh getting sidetracked!.

Shaking his head(y/n) took a deep and nervous breath as he slowly walked up to Blake, who quickly took notice and turned to face the male, greeting him with a warm smile, " Needed something(y/n)? " She asked in that usual calm and collected tone.

" Y-Yeah I...I was wondering if you would uhmm..." He paused for a moment as he rubbed the back of his head with a blush as he spat out the last part of his scrambled sentence, " Would like to have a dance with me..." He said eyes flickering to the ground as sweat began to form on his brow. 

A giggled escaped from Blake's lips as she smiled sweetly and offered her a hand. " I would love to have this dance with you(y/n)." She said as(y/n) shouted with glee in his head, slowly taking Blake's hand and walking away from the tree and into the open field.

" So would you be okay if we Waltzed right here? "(y/n) asked as Blake nodded with a confirming smile before taking(y/n)'s other hand into her own before they both nodded and began to slow waltz, keeping eye contact as their feet moved in sync. 

Their were a few wolf whistles as the others saw what was happening, Nora eyes lit up as she quickly grabbed Ren deciding to want to join in on the fun, a sigh escaped Ren as he didn't even resist, letting the ginger drag him along while. Pyrrha and Jaune both looked at each other with a small smile before grouping up and deciding too follow their other teammates lead.

Yang had a devilish smirk as much like Nora, she dragged Nathan off into the short circle of those who were waltzing. Ruby looked at Gloria who was off in the background watching before she walked up slowly and took his hand with a small smile. Hesitantly Gloria allowed himself to be strung along. Taking hold of the short Ruby, they made an odd dance partners but they seemed to be doing alright.

Poor Weiss was all alone, Sighing to herself as she just watched, But it didn't go unobserved as shortly the singing picked up and the chorus of clones picked up and seemed to take over as Cole walked off towards Weiss, stopping and blowing in front of her as he offered her a hand. With a small shocked expression, Weiss quickly gave a small smile before taking his hand. And much like the rest they began to slowly Waltz back and forth as Cole's clones continued to sing.

Blake then finally broke the silence and spoke up, " So(y/n). How has things been as leader?" She looked up at the (h/c) Faunus who returned his gaze. " It's going better then I could have expected, we're all getting along great. You? " He head tilted.

" Well. It's having it's rough bumps in the road, but it looks like we'll get along just fine if things keep up as they are." Blake smiled as she then continued. " But if you ever need to talk about anything or vent, Know that I'm here alright?" She said not taking eye contact off him as a faint pink hue could be seen on her cheeks,(y/n)'s blush was much more evident as he slowly nodded, " Thank you Blake. Know that offer stands both ways. We've got to stick together after all."

And like that. The veil of silence came upon them again as minutes passed and the singing and music slowly came to an end. As it did, everyone parted as the clones vanished and returning to their teams.

And now they noticed the sun began to set. Seeing this they all decided to call it a day, heading back to their dorms and parting ways, saying goodbye etc. Eventually. (y/n) and the others were now laying in bed as they relaxed after their recent event filled afternoon. 

" Well. We learned a lot today didn't we? " Nathan said as he looked up at the others.(y/n) nodded as Cole sighed. " Don't go spreading that all around campus if you don't mind.." He muttered as Nathan gave a soft chuckle. " We won't mate..Will we Gloria?" He turned to his partner who nodded firmly " You have my word Solomon." Gloria clearly stated.

" Thanks. Means a lot to me.." He said before shifting back into his bed. 

" We're all bro's lighten up and relax."(y/n) said to lighten up the mood. But all he would hear from Cole is a soft snore. Shaking his head(y/n) closed his eyes as he began to think. " I guess I'll join you on that. Night guys."(y/n) said good night to the others. 

Returning the gesture all grew quite as silence once again filled the room other then from faint snoring as everyone was sleeping peacefully until the morning sun were to greet them again once more..
