He woke up early unfortunately and therefore was very tired, he forced himself out of the bed instead of closing his eyes like he really wanted to. He got ready slowly and went and opened the door to walk out, when he opened it he saw Blake standing there with her fist up indicating she was about to knock. She looked pretty tired as well.
[Fufu]: Why did we need all that info?
"Oh! Hey AJ." She said tiredly and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.
AJ found it cute but focused on speaking. "Hey. What are you doing here? It's still really early." AJ asked tiredly as well.
Blake found it hard to focus with his tired voice and look, she wanted to just stare but he asked a question and she would focus on answering. "I woke up early and decided I would wake you up so we could go to the library before the others woke up."
"Sure. I woke up pretty early myself." AJ said.
[Kirby]: “Yes, I know.” Blake frowned. “Otherwise I would have had to wake you up.”
[Fufu]: She then tried to discreetly nudge the bucket of cold water back into her still open dorm room, hoping he didn’t notice it.
"Did you just shower? Your hair looks really clean." Blake noticed and went to touch his hair. "Wow, it's really soft." She said smiling. AJ stood there and let her feel his hair and was soon purring lightly because she had started petting him.
[Fufu]: So that was the point of the shower scene. Wow.
*Clearing throat sound* They both froze and saw Yang looking at them with a huge grin. They both turned red and Blake pulled her hand away much to AJ's disappointment.
"What's the matter? You'll hold hands together no matter who watches but you won't dare pet each other when other's ([Kirby]: No apostrophe here) are watching?" Yang asked teasingly.
[Fufu]: Because maybe it's actually a really intimate thing with Faunus? I know that probably sounds bullshit, but considering we still don’t know a lot about Faunus, plus the fact that the author has come up with worse, it could be something like that. We can always headcanon shit like this.
"No!" Blake said.
"Why!? I don't get that!" Yang complained pouting.
"You wouldn't get it unless you were a Faunus."
[Kirby]: Which you are not.
[Fufu]: Oh for the love of- they’re actually using that argument??
[Kirby]: Hold on, he and Neko were sleeping separately right? Did they fuse together at some point? It doesn’t say that they did, so AJ is really not a faunus right now.
AJ said crossing his arms as well but not in a pouting way. 'It's freaking embarrassing! That's why!'
Blake and AJ got away from Yang and went to the library doing much the same thing they had always done before they became a couple, much to a spying Yang's disappointment. The only difference was they held each others hands while they read their books. Yang was of course, excepting ([Kirby]: “expecting”) more for some reason.
[Fufu]: Nevermind that some couples can feel comfortable just being in each others presence and they don’t necessarily have to be constantly face sucking each other. The author is seriously making Ruby and Yang out to be rabid shipping fangirls here.
Weekend ends, school week goes by normally, Yang teasing, Nora telling crazy stories and trying to ship Arkos secretly, Ruby going crazy over cookies, Jaune begging for one, Weiss and Pyrrha talking about school work, the couple snuggling together as they chatted.
[Fufu]: Author, no. We do not want a damn shopping list of what is happening and who’s doing what, not to mention that all of this just serves to make the characters 2 dimensional within this one sentence. Not all of these fit their characterisations.
[Kirby]: Ya, pretty sure Jaune can get his own cookies. (Or Pyrrha could make him some *shipping goggles on!*)
It quickly became the new normal for them. The only thing interesting this week was Weiss fighting Ren, and AJ getting to go up once to fight in Glynda's class on Wednesday, but it wasn't anyone from RWBY, it was Nora. 'Oh no.' AJ thought as he went up to the stage. 'This is gonna hurt.'
[Kirby]: …..Wait. Where the hell is that fight scene!?
[Fufu]: *reads ahead* Nowhere. It just gets added in, but we don’t get to see it (Thankfully). We get told, “There was a fight at one point”, the author sets it up like we will actually be subjected to a fight scene only to then jump us to after it has happened. That is just stupid writing right there.
"Ow…" AJ said sitting on a bench inside the infirmary, they were able to leave, but couldn't bring themselves to do so. Blake was sitting on his left comforting him and petting him when no one was looking.
[Fufu]: Because she has to look after her man like the good lady she is.
Nora sat on his right, both AJ and Nora had bandages on their head and their back. Nora had more bandages in other places but apparently her and AJ are the most resilient of the two teams so there aren't as many as they should have had. They should be in the beds but Nora had too much energy and AJ had a lot of Aura. They had large Nora hammer size bruises under their clothes, their sides, chest, and back specifically. AJ had to get hurt pretty bad to be even put here because of how much Aura he has.
[Fufu]: Translation: AJ is so damn tough cause of his Aura, its amazing that Nora even managed to inflict any damage on him at all.
"No kidding…" Nora said. "Now I know what it's like to get hit by my Magnhild." She said adjusting her ice pack on her head.
"It was funny seeing you wear pink jeans for a minute." Yang teased. AJ glared at her.
"You two sent each other into opposite walls leaving a perfect copy of your shape in the wall, and you say 'Ow?'" Weiss asked, the rest of their teams were there with them.
"You realize that's normal for her, right?" Ren asked, he knew his childhood friend well.
"Yes, I've been around her long enough to figure that out I just can't believe it." Weiss said pinching the bridge of her nose.
"And my cloak is, UNHARMED!" AJ said with a 'thumbs up.'
[Fufu]: Fucking priorities bitch! You could’ve been seriously hurt with broken bones and possibly ruptured internal organs, but you’re too busy worrying about your fucking cloak???
"What's with you and your cloak?" Weiss asked.
"Cloaks are awesome." AJ said simply and Ruby appeared next to him.
"Ya!" She said and her and AJ low-fived.
[Kirby]: One; Author, get your own jokes. Two; Ruby doesn’t wear a cloak, she wears a hood. Little Red Riding Hood.
[Fufu]: Wow. He is legit copying the “combat skirt” gag. That-- *puts head in hands and doesn’t even bother*
"And you're just jealous that I make it look good." AJ said smiling. Weiss scoffed and rolled her eyes.
[Kirby]: This joke doesn’t work because Weiss doesn’t wear a cloak.
[SNIP - THURSDAY’S CHILD WAS PRACTISING HOW TO USE DUST, IN AN INCREDIBLY POINTLESS SCENE AS BLAKE TRIES TO PEEK ON AJ’S DUST PRACTISE]
Friday now
[Fufu]: Author please! These scene transitions are literally killing me, I swear to god. ;3;
and Glynda's class went by without anyone from RWBY or JNPR fighting. Glynda seemed to give them a knowing look and AJ was suspicious that she knew about the fight but didn't mind not fighting since they would need their strength for their rematch.
Classes over and the went to the arena rather than the stage that Glynda used for her class normally. Weiss was the referee for this match but Glynda was secretly watching from the shadows in case she needed to step in.
[Kirby]: WHY!?
[Fufu]: Why would Glynda care if the students were gonna have matches with one another? In fact, here’s a better question; why would she not intervene since this is clearly happening outside of class time? This could potentially be dangerous for the students, especially so since AJ the psycho maniac is involved. At the very least, if we’re going with nice!Glynda in this fic, she could offer to referee and make sure no-one gets seriously hurt.
There was a large crowd in the stands. Every seat and then some were filled waiting to watch the best first years of the school fight.
[Kirby]: ...PYRRHA! NIKOS! CHAMPION OF EVERYTHING!
[Fufu]: AGAINST ALL OF TEAM CRDL! ON HER OWN!
[Kirby]: THE INVINCIBLE GIRL!
[Fufu]: THE GIRL IS ON FUCKING CEREAL BOXES!
[Kirby]: BUT THE CEREAL ISN’T VERY GOOD FOR YOU!
"Alright, whenever you two are ready. Try not to destroy everything." Weiss said from the stands. Everyone grew quiet.
[Fufu]: Wait, Weiss is refereeing this fight? If only she were her canon self, then she wouldn’t object and jump in to stop Yang from pummeling AJ.
"No promises." The both said with evil smiles.
"Actually," AJ started and held his hand out to Yang. "To a good fight." He said smiling.
Yang hesitantly shook his hand. "To a good fight." She said, then noticed the faint glow in his hand.
I Burn (clean version preferably)
[Fufu]: ????! Why?! AJ already swears like a fucking trucker, so why would you worry about us listening to the clean version specifically??? What the fuck kind of logic--?!
[Kirby]: As someone who doesn’t care for rap, I do prefer the clean version.
[SNIP - THE BEGINNING OF YANG AND AJ’S FIGHT SCENE, VERY GENERIC AND MORE LONG PARAGRAPHS]
Yang exploded with fiery Aura
[Fufu]: Since we cut it out, just so youse know, AJ accidentally got the hair, so that’s why Yang is going into rage-y mode.
and charged getting many hits on AJ as he wasn't putting out that much Aura. He was sent into the wall and everyone was shocked to see him lose little Aura from the barrage. Yang was angry, but shocked as well, so shocked AJ took a moment to look at the black wrist guards.
[Fufu]: Yang: “I hit him?! Wow, the author of this shitfic must be feeling nice today!”
[Kirby]: Yang’s shock makes AJ decide to contemplate his choice of wrist guard. For reasons.
There is a small glass window in them in the shape of a Dust crystal, he saw the crystal inside was pure white, indicating neutralization by Energy. So he focused while Yang was distracted and removed the Energy from his arms and stored it in the rest of his body.
[Fufu]: He did what now?!
The crystal regained its color. It was ice blue. AJ let out a lot more Aura and with all of it flowing out he focused his Aura on the crystal.
[Fufu]: No no no no, hold the fucking- wait a damn minute! *record needle scratch* He could do this?! Since when the fuck?! So his training to use Dust has been pointless since he could do this?! Also, this itself negates that supposed downside to AJ’s Energy! But that would mean AJ can’t do something, and we can’t have that now can we? And now, we’re relying on some sort of twisted Deus Ex Machina? Also, why does he even have a Dust crystal on him?? He hasn’t mastered using Dust by this point, so why doesn’t he leave it in his room? He shouldn’t have this on him, not if he was thinking, “I don’t really know how to use this, so there’s no point in holding on to it.” No author, this is not how shit works!!
Simply imagine a Dust crystal, fire for instance, Aura passes through it and comes out fiery. Aura with Energy doesn't come out, it just neutralizes the crystal and it turns white. His misty free flowing Aura if it was effected by a crystal would becomethe element, not just act like it. His free Aura is just too willing to change. It took awhile to figure out how to drain Energy from his arms and let the Dust crystal work.
[Fufu]: AND NOW YOU DARE EXPLAIN TO US, YOU DARE TELL US WHAT IS GOING ON AND HOW THIS BULLSHIT MECHANIC IS WORKING?!
Song ends. New song: Nightcore version of Ash Like Snow (Use your imagination for most of this fight. Make it as epic as you can in your head because it would be just too much for me to type up something happening every second, Good luck with that)
[Kirby]: Fuck you. FUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Fufu]: YOU LAZY SON OF A COCKSUCKING WHORE!
[FUCKING SNIP OUT OF SPITE- THAT ENTIRE SONG AND THE REST OF THE BATTLE. TAKE A FUCKING GUESS WHO WINS]
A flash of blue and yellow had them on opposite sides of each other, Yang collapsed unconscious.
[Fufu]: Bullshit! How hard is he hitting her? How is he out maneuvering her? Yang is a serious fighter and she can’t be beaten so easily! Later in the volume, its actually a pretty big deal when Neo beats her since it shows that Neo is serious business, and that the White Fang is a force to be reckoned with since everyone was struggling against their respective opponents.
'Cause I've made it this far...
AJ turned around and looked down at Yang smiling in victory. "Worth it." He said before he collapsed from exhaustion.
Blake was in awe like everyone else the entire match. 'A caring boyfriend that can also kick butt and make it look cool.'
[Fufu]: Yeah sure, let’s just ignore that he’s hit Yang so hard that she’s been knocked unconscious. That’s nothing to worry about after all.
"You sure know how to pick em'!" Pyrrha said.
"Ya! You're pretty lucky!" Nora said.
(can I just take a moment to say that fight scene was the biggest reason for writing this besides making people happy? Cause it was. I wanted to write the scene in my head SO badly. And now I've done it… huh. Who would have thought?)
[Kirby]: BULLSHIT! YOU DIDN’T WANT TO WRITE SHIT! YOU TOLD US TO USE OUR IMAGINATIONS! YOU FUCKING WANKER!
[Fufu]: Because you wanted to damn satisfaction of saying your OC beat Yang, who is one of the tougher fighters out of the main cast?! Shove it up your urethra.
AJ woke up in the infirmary, in one of the beds. 'Haven't had to be seriously admitted here in a long time. Usually me Aura can handle whatever fight I'm in.' He looked around and saw Yang in another bed still sleeping and covered in bandages,
[Fufu]: HOW HARD DID HE HIT HER?! HOW FREAKING HARD DID HER BEAT HER IF SHE IS UNCONSCIOUS AND NEEDING BANDAGES?!
[Kirby]: Isn’t the point of stopping a fight when someone’s Aura is in the red in-order to prevent these kinds of injuries?
[Fufu]: Another reason why Glynda should’ve been there. Weiss was ref-ing for them, and I’m gonna guess right now that the only reason she didn’t stop the fight was ‘cause AJ told her not to step in. And we all know how scared this fic’s Weiss is of AJ and how desperate she would be the please him and to not get fucking killed.
and he saw Blake with her head resting on his bed asleep. He moved his hand and found it hurt, then he realized everything hurt especially his chest. He had to settle for his voice.
"Blake." His voice came out as little more than a whisper but it was loud and clear for a Faunus so close to him. Her head went up and she found him looking at her. They stared at each other for what felt like an eternity and they were both smiling.
[Kirby]: *stabs self with fork* “PAIN IS HILARIOUS!”
[Fufu]: Maybe if you’re Bill Cipher. Though let’s be fair here, he’s probably got more a conscience than AJ does.
"How do you feel?" Blake asked, resisting the urge to hug him because it would only hurt him, and settling for holding his hand.
"Everything hurts." AJ said honestly. "What happened?"
"You won the rematch, and then collapsed from Aura exhaustion apparently. I was really worried about you. Yang hit you really hard and broke quite a few ribs. But apparently you have so much Aura you will be good in a few days at most." Blake explained.
[Fufu]: Oh bullshit, ProAJ. Yang hits him and only breaks a few ribs, and in the end the only reason he was knocked out was cause he used so much Aura. Meanwhile Yang is unconscious because he beat her till she dropped.
"Aura exhaustion? That's never happened before."
[Kirby]: Uhhh, it’s happened like two other times.
[Fufu]: coughchapters3and4cough
AJ said surprised he had actually used up his Aura reserves, using the Dust and getting hit by Yang took a lot out of him he supposed. "I would have been really worried too if I saw you hurt badly like I was. You didn't… yell at Yang like you did with Nora did you?" AJ asked worried.
[Kirby]: Another scene I do not recall having happened.
[Fufu]: I remember AJ and Nora getting patched up, but we obviously skipped the actual fight. Also, why would Blake yell at someone for hurting AJ. He’s a big boy (supposedly) and he’s training to fight monsters that could kill him. If she’s gonna get prissy over a couple of mock battles in the school...
Blake laughed a little. "No, I learned my lesson. You can take care of yourself and Nora and Yang are just giving it their all. I love you but I need to remember we are fighters and we are going to get hurt."
[Kirby]: No shit? I wouldn’t have guessed.
"I love you too. And I am still trying to prepare in my head for whenever you get hurt by someone and how I need to not yell at them and beat them for it.
[Kirby]: Abusive. AJ.
I also need to be ready for when we fight Grimm, that I can't keep looking at you constantly to make sure you're ok. I have to trust your abilities." AJ said smiling. Blake leaned in and they kissed before teams RWBY and JNPR came in, along with Ozpin.
"How is he? Ozpin asked Blake.
"He will be fine but for now everything hurts." Blake explained.
"And Yang?" Ruby asked.
[Fufu]: At least Ruby is showing worry for the right person here!
"Still hasn't woken up, she used up almost all her Aura, and was hurt badly. They bandaged her up and as her Aura comes back she can get moving in a week, two at most. But she will need the sling for her arm for at least three weeks." Blake explained sadly.
"I hurt her that bad?" AJ asked feeling sorry.
"Don't worry." Blake said holding his hand and comforting him. "You both knew what could happen in that fight. We could end up with worse injuries against Grimm, we signed up for this by going to this school."
[Fufu]: BUT THIS IS IN THE SCHOOL! THEY SHOULD’VE HAD A MEMBER OF STAFF WATCHING SO THEY COULD STOP THE FIGHT WHEN THINGS GOT OUT OF HAND. THEY’RE STILL FIRST YEARS!
Ruby went over to Yang's bed and Yang actually moved and opened her eyes. Ruby almost hugged Yang but Glynda stopped her before she could hurt Yang with a hug.
[Fufu]: ...yeah, I need to spitefic.
Ruby couldn’t help but stare at her sister’s broken body, trying not to cry like a little girl, as much as she was one and as much as she wanted to. Yang always seemed so...invincible. Yang could never be beaten, and she always stood tall, ready to fight on. At least, Ruby always saw her like that.
“I’m sorry.” She turned her head slowly to the other bed; lying there was the cause of this, that twisted bastard, AJ. Ruby couldn’t help but scowl back before turning sharply back to face Yang. She sat in the seat next to her sister’s bed, accidentally scraping it against the floor with the force of her sitting down. She took her sister’s hand and gave it a light squeeze. She could hear AJ saying something else, however she didn’t focus on it. She didn’t want to hear him, and if it weren’t for the fact that Yang was right next to him, Ruby would’ve preferred to have been nowhere near him.
“Ruby, did you hear me?” he asked, placing his hand on her shoulder. She immediately smacked it off, snapping, “Don’t touch me.” Blake hissed back, “Ruby!” At this, the young girl growled and snapped round to face them both. Both. Her friend had never quite been the same since she’d started interacting with AJ. And it’d gotten worse when they’d become “an item”.
“Oh what? You want me to apologise to this...degenerate for slapping his hand away? What’s he gonna do, threaten to kill me like he did to Weiss?! No, I’m here to see Yang, because she is my sister and she’s hurt. In fact, she’s hurt and she’s in here cause of him!” She finished with a sharp point toward the bandaged boy. Blake shot to her own feet, amber eyes narrowed as she responded, “AJ’s just as injured after that fight!”
“But he’s awake! He’s fine! Yang is still unconscious!” Ruby shouted back, “I’d rather not be here, but I don’t want to leave Yang alone with this- this- thing! I don’t want him to hurt her anymore!” She stopped to take a breath, her face red with anger and tears spilling from her eyes, however before she could continue, a doctor hurried over from another area of the infirmary.
“Excuse me, could you both keep it down, there are classrooms further down the hall trying to work,” he scolded. Both girls glared at each other before pointedly looking away. Ruby sniffed, trying to hold back the sobs, until she eventually whispered to her sister, “I’m sorry Yang, I can’t stay here. I tried.” She ran out, activating her Semblance and disappearing within seconds, leaving a flurry of rose petals fluttering down to rest on the unconscious Yang.
[Fufu]: A bit rushed, but I wanted to keep it short and get the point across. Plus I only now realised that as soon as Ruby and Blake kicked off, AJ pretty much became a non-entity. Shows how much impact he has in this fic if I can’t even include him in a spitefic that shows Ruby not being happy with him.
Four days later and AJ was able to walk, albeit slowly. Blake stayed with him and they held hands as usual while they walked.
Yang ended up walking in a week and a half and proved she didn't need the sling at two weeks instead of three. AJ apologized a few times and Yang said she had no problem with what happened and actually really enjoyed the fight. Not to mention what the rest of the school felt about the fight.
[Kirby]: ...Which was what?
It wouldn't be long though once everyone was well again, before they would start playing that damn board game in the library again!
Yang Xiao Long! Prepare your kingdom for battle!" Ruby shouted. 'Some things never change.' AJ thought.
[Kirby]: ...Wait, we’re just now getting to episode 2? Oh god…
Yes, I know I'm terrible at romance scenes, and that Blake is OOC now, and that the OC is OP. LET ME JUST STOP YOU BEFORE YOU TRY TO TELL ME.
[Kirby]: Hey man, I’ma let you finish, but acknowledging the problem still ain’t fixing it.
I also realize I use 'and' a lot, sorry. Edit: I also used the horizontal line thing a bit excessively, sorry.
[Fufu]: Hey, at least this time there’s a clear difference in what scenes you have here, as opposed to some of your shitty transitions.
Anyways, hope you enjoyed my many non-canon scenes! I'm sure it hadn't been that much time that passed between scenes in canon but this is a fan fiction after all! We don't have to follow canon word for word! In fact, that's the point of fanfiction!
[Fufu]: AJFHJJKGYFTGJ-- BUT YOU HAVE BEEN! DON’T EVEN START WITH ME, AUTHOR, YOU HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING CANON TO THE LETTER UP UNTIL THIS POINT.
Have a great week!
40 pages yet only 10000 words! Ch.3 was 15 or 17 pages and it had 11000!
"A chainsaw!? Really!? After all the crazy, mecha-shifting weapons I've seen, you have a chainsaw!? Oh this is gonna be too-" He was interrupted by the chainsaw guy dashing towards him and swinging his chainsaw it him, he jumped over it put was punched by the guy while he was in the air and actually was knocked a few meters away. "easy…" AJ said standing back up.
[Kirby]: Oh look, AJ is gonna steal more of Weiss’ scenes. Yay.
[Fufu]: ?! What does that say about how long the next chapter will be or how condensed down Volume 2 will be?
Teaser thing for you amazing readers!
~*~*~
[Fufu]: …*steeples fingers* That was an entire chapter of original content from the author, barring the first section featuring the food fight. This was a chapter that could’ve been used for canon raping. I’m not sure which scenario I prefer; him defiling canon or him attempting origcon.
[Kirby]: At least when he’s raping canon, we know that the story is getting closer to being over with.
[Fufu]: Good point. Well, at least this is over. We’re one step closer to the end of this nightmare, and we’re back to the canon story next time.
[Kirby]: *Door bell rings* Oh hell ya PIZZA!
[Fufu]: Sweet! Er-we’re cutting our ending spiel short because fuck, we’ve got pizza! Till next time!
[Kirby]: See yah *nomnomnomnom*
