[attr="class","RDcontainer"] [attr="class","RDcontent"] Holly had sensed a great disturbance in the school. One that shook her to her very core, making her question everything she knew about herself. She had assembled her inner council of trustees in her room one evening, to decided how to proceed.[break] [break] In Holly's room surrounded by walls filled with plants, she had everyone she needed assembled in a circle in front of her on the floor.[break] [break] A signed photo of Kishka called Little-K.[break] [break] A stuffed wolf plushy named Sub-Woofer.[break] [break] Solomon's plant that she took care of, called Sunny.[break] [break] And Bob, the rock.[break] [break] The discussion was long and mostly one-sided. There was a new student at Haven. This in upon itself was nothing new. Their institution had been often call a revolving door for Mistral's troubled youth with anger issues and powers they couldn't control. Sub-Woofer reassured Holly that she in no-way fell into this category, and that comforted Holly more than it honestly should. The problem was that this student was of a particular breed. One that could spell danger to all![break] [break] She was cute.[break] [break] Like...really, really cute![break] [break] Opal was her name. She had the hair of a gentle wave crashing upon Mato-Mato's shore. She had eyes that shone like two gems reflecting the light of dawn. Her skin was as soft and flawless as fallen snow untouched by any who dared to thread on it. [break] [break] Holly saw her as her greatest opponent in the game of love. If she was to enter the dating scene, which she of course would be very soon, Holly would be all out of luck with the other male students! Of course they would all start to swarm around her! She was perfect! Holly would be dating her this instant if she herself was a boy! She needed someone interesting, as Holly knew already that there was no way she could be dating a normy anymore. Those people have not had nearly enough tramuatic experiences to relate to her own life! They would be all like:[break] [break] 'Honey, I have cleaned the house and made us some soup!'[break] [break] 'Steve, I have just held someone in my arms as I saw the light leave their eyes. They were holding their own guts in their hands, after trying to push them back in at a vain hope of trying to cling onto their fleeting life.'[break] [break] 'IT HAS CROUTONS!' [break] [break] No, such a life isn't in the cards anymore for Holly. Little-K said cowabunga, which was so much like her to do to cheer Holly up. Sub-Woofer, being the most intelligent of all of them, proposed a plan that would not end with Holly bullying Opal off Haven. [break] [break] Get her on your side. Shine like a tiny star next to a super nova. Maybe Holly would be a distant second compared to Opal, she at least could be 'that' friend. You know, when there is a boy who has secret crush on Opal and she isn't really into him, but she also doesn't really want to say no so she says that she knows a girl with a great personality that you honestly should hang out with and it would really mean a lot to her.[break] [break] Holly wanted to be that girl.[break] [break] Little-K said cowabunga again, agreeing with the plan. Sub-Woofer of course agreed with their own plan. Sunny said to burn the innocents, which was not really helpful but Holly wanted to include him. Bob said nothing, because he was a lifeless rock. So it was decided.[break] [break] -[break] [break] During History class, Holly got a note to Opal. Of course she could just text, but that wasn't how they did it in the movies she watched. On it was a simple message for Opal: 'Stay after class, I wana talk'. Yes, she misspelled wanna. Which is not even a real word when you think about it, making the objective value one can assign of misspelling a fake word questionable. [break] [break] Holly on her part looked quite like a regular student should. Her school outfit was just a little bit more shabby looking because Holly thought ironing clothing made them loose color and strength. The history lesson was proceeding and Holly made sure as to not make too much eye contact with Opal during it. Their seats were far enough apart that they never actually had that much contact with each other in class before. Something that Holly wanted to rectify. [break] [break] When the lesson was finished and the other students were walking out of the doors, Holly stayed behind and eventually walked over towards Opal when they were the only ones left in the classroom as their elderly teacher went out to get some tea and never was that strict about closing classrooms in the first place. What is the point when two thirds of your students can break open the door with ease?[break] [break] Standing at Opal's desk, Holly presented her with a present out of her backpack that she placed in front of Opal. It was a small potted olive tree as a sign of peace. Why go for a branch when you can give the whole tree, right? She looked at her potential rival in the war of love, and added with a smile: "For your room! It is Opal, right? There is no reason we cannot be friendly! That was why I wanted to speak to you! The name is Holly Hock, president of the Gardenin Club, and here with a proposition for you!"[break] [break] After her either accepting or rejecting the gift, Holly gave a big smile as she placed her hands behind her back. In the sleeve of her Haven academy outfit she had kept a twig the entire lesson that she now got into her hands. There was a small but not absent chance that Opal would reject the gift...which meant this was to be war. Holly could defend herself with a twig. Too many of people she tought she could trust ended up betraying that very trust. She wasn't taking chances with this strange new adversary. No matter how cute she was. Still with a smile on her face she added: [break] [break] "I think that you are very pretty. I wanted to ask you for...uhm..." Holly blushed for a moment, whatever amount of nerves she still had affecting her. "...wanted to ask if you and I could..." Dammit! Opal was even cuter up close! Focus, Holly! "If you could give me some advice on how to be as attractive as you. To get boys to like me more. I haven't had a whole lot of luck. Not like you, I guess. They must be chasing your skirt nonstop!"

Not easy being pretty

Opal/Holly

TAG

···

Already life in Haven was proving to be a much more relaxing stay than Sanctum's years. Even with his late start to the year and the makeup work that had been dump onto his lap. It was almost a refreshing change of pace dealing with homework that did not involve having to fight a Grimm or another student. Or worst, a teacher when one felt that you needed a new challenge. Mostly Opal was only glad to be back home and get back to his studies.

Something he had shamefully neglect far more than he had meant to during his time at Sanctum. Not that he had much choice in the matter. He had more than a bit of catching up to do compared to his fellow students. Even compared to some of the girls, being the smallest did not help make him much quickly becoming a target. Unable to stop himself as he sighs deeply, remembering the duals that followed him after he beat the first guy that challenged him.

He just wanted to forget the damn duals of the past and force on the class. That was until he was smack on the side of the head by a note. Okay, it was hardly a tap but still got a jump out of Opal, ripping him out of his daydreaming. With a quick peek around, Opal tried to find the sender. Seeing no one, which was not surprising as a semblance could have sent it from anywhere. Whatever he thought, opening the note and reading it. 'Stay after class, I wana talk'. Pausing for a moment while flipping the note around, but that was all it said. Well, this was a bit odd, to say the least.

Why toss a note when you could just come up and speak to him? It was not like Opal was very imposing in any way. In fact, he spent most of the time fighting to get people to believe he was, in fact, old enough to be here. A real shot to his pride as a man. Curiosity as to what this was about, Opal decided to do as the note asked a wait as it was his last class of the day anyway. Hoping this wasn’t something he was going to regret later.

After a mind-numbing time later, the class came to an end, and Opal gave a few goodbyes to a few people he had met. Passing up on their little outing into the town, telling them he had plans already, which was true. Planning to see what this note was about. It was something important. Then he would deal/help how he could. If not, he would return to start on the homework stack he was about done with. So, sitting back in his chair, he watched the room as the students filed out for the day.

Like the other male student, Opal wore the academy uniform of a black jacket with black dress pants. His long hair hung down around his shoulders as he didn’t feel like pinning it up this day. It didn’t take long for his green eyes to spot who he guessed was the note sender as the small redhead started walking toward him. Given that they were now the only two in the room, it was an easy guess. He stood from his desk with a smile to greet the girl with a smile, wondering what this was about.

Suddenly he was presented with a… plant? Some tree? It was only a guess as it didn’t really look like a normal potted plant; then again, plant life wasn’t something he had put a lot of study time into. Confused a bit by the gift, Opal stood as he listens to the girl talk. He only grew more confused at the comment about being friendly to each other. As far as he could remember, he had been to everyone so far. Trying not to step on anyone toes since arriving here. But most curious, it seemed she had a proposition for him.

Maybe she wanted to ask him to join the Gardening club? Since he was new, he already had a few people asked him, which he had properly refused. He just did not have the time for those things now. “Thank you for the gift, and that’s right. Opal Machias. Please to meet you, Holly.” He said, returning the smile with a nod. He was beginning to ask what this deal was when he froze. His own face growing a bit pink at his words. Pretty? Him? Within seconds he could feel the heat rushing to his cheeks as Holly spoke as this starting to sound less like a club pitch and more like…

Was this a confession? Was a girl really confessing to him?! No, this was way too much like the in the movie and tv show, but still. Watching Holly own blushing face, he was almost convinced that what was really happening! “Look, Holly…” He started until he heard the rest. With a dumbfounding face, Opal almost smacks his face on the desk as his head dropped. Just as quickly, he stood back up, locking eyes with Holly. She wanted advice on how to look attractive. AS ME? Now more confused than ever, Opal stared at Holly while trying to figure this out.

“Umm, what?” He squeaks out, trying to find his words. It was not offended someone found a way to stump the little man, but this girl had done it in record time. Did she think he was into guys? Maybe, but he was sure he did not give off those vibes. He guesses anyway. No, what was that last bit about again? Chasing my skirt nonstop. Wait…

Narrowing his eyes for a second, weighing if he should ask such a question but doing it anyway. “Holly, umm, you know I’m a guy, right?” Said, trying not to sound rude but honestly confused. Sure, he has been mistaken as younger, but as a girl? Was he really… umm pretty?

[attr="class","RDcontainer"] [attr="class","RDcontent"] Holly took note that Opal's friend group was a mix of both girls and guys. That was good. If it were only girls, Holly would have been less sure of approaching her. It would mean that she had quickly become a queen bee that other girls hearkened to. If it was a group of boys, Opal's status of being a living symbol of feminine beauty wasn't unnoticed by her male classmates. There was still the options that someone had already started the Opal fanclub without Holly, but that was honestly only a matter of time. [break] [break] She was just that damned pretty.[break] [break] The fact that Opal was wearing pants instead of a skirt could only have one singular reason. It would have been overkill. It was like placing freaking laser beams on sharks, or giving a snake a knife. Her legs must be killer, her thighs the epitome of perfection. She could try to hide the goodies in those pants, but Holly knew what was really going on...[break] [break] The crazed botanist gave a wide smile when Opal accepted the gift and thanked her for it. The stabbing-twig returned back to the sleeve as there was no direct need for stabbing someone for refusing an offer of peace. It was still there if she needed it later on. There was still plenty of time for someone to disappoint Holly and betray her! Almost everyone did, after all![break] [break] When the slight pink hue appeared on Opal's face, Holly blinked for a moment as something might have happened that Holly hadn't actually thought of before now. What if Opal was a rainbow warrior playing for the same team of scissor sisters? Holly couldn't possibly refuse if this was going to be the turn of events. While she was certain she would one day become a mother and have damned cute children, she knew that she would always remain second best compared to Opal. Holly had to keep Opal gay to ensure she would not be set on the right path before Holly could find a suitable male! After that she could dump Opal, and with Holly's fingers already around her man, there was only a limited chance Opal would steal him! There was always a slim chance, but that is where the stabbing twigs are for! [break] [break] Then Opal did something that Holly didn't expected in a hundred years. Her eyes turned large and her mouth fell open for a moment when that goddess made the joke that she was actually a boy. Impossible. Holly giggled slightly before she cocked her head slightly to the side as she answered in a sing-songy way. "You are such a joker! Wearing pants doesn't make you a boy, silly! I can see past that because I am nobody's fool! There is no way a boy is that pretty and nice! Your cheeks are soft and your eyes are pretty! Your voice is gentle and your hands are slender!"[break] [break] It was honestly a good joke. Holly would not make such a mistake! Still with an oblivious smile on her face she continued. "So, do you accept my offer? If you need something else to sweeten the pot, I am sure that we could come to a suitable arrangement! You want yummy food from my Gardenin Club, some spending money to go to the pub? A kiss to seal the deal? I am a flexible gal, ready for all!" Holly made a slight twirl on her feet as she was happy in her little illusionary world in which Opal was a girl and she would need to see pigs fly before she disbelieved it. She had talked with her actual real friends in her room about it, and they wouldn't lie or hurt Holly like this. [break] [break] Except Bob. He was just a rock. [break] [break] That Holly found pretty.

[Opal Machias]

This going to be long day This definitely was not going how Opal thought this little meeting would go. Not that he really had a clue to start with. Of all the things that could have come from this letter, he would never have thought it would be asking for advice on attractiveness. It was not like he was going around flunking his nonexisting knowledge on the subject to every one. Okay, sure, he took better care of himself than some of the other boys around him. He did not see the point of not keeping himself presentable while at school… Crap, maybe Holly had a point after all. Wait, no, that was beside the point now as he was shocked when Holly did not believe him. Even going on to list all the reasons he could not be a boy. Sure, he could see her point on some of them, and worst it started to raise some flag in the past weeks in the poor boy's mind. Back in combat school, it had never been a problem with shorter hair and with him even doing some duals shirtless. At Haven, girls could wear pants if they wanted to, so maybe… Did some people really think he was a girl?!?! For a few moments, Opal dealt with his little world-shaking realization and almost did not even hear the rest of what Holly had to say. As it seems, she was fully convinced this was just a joke he likes to play. Flopping back into his seat, he stared up for a moment before speaking. “Seriously, Holly, I’m not a girl. I’m not joking…” Not like he had any real way of proving this to her. There was one straightforward way but was not about to flash someone to prove a point. Face palming himself; Opal rolled his hand up over his face while pushing his hair back and over. “Look, you um don’t have to sweeten the deal.” Fighting off another blush, thinking of the offered kiss and “being flexible.” It did not help that the girl was cute, charming now that he took the time to look. Her pink, almost red hair framing flaming red eyes that seem to want to draw him in. Maybe he had a thing for redheads. Either way, he stopped his eyes from wandering too far and shook his head. “I don’t need a bribe and really. You need to be careful about who you offer that too.” Thinking about the rough crowd around that would take advantage of her. More than willing to take her money and probably more if given a chance. While he did not really mind helping, what little he could, he failed to see how this could help proved he was not a girl. This was much up his sister's alley, but he knew better to get her involved with something like this. A strange as the girl was, he really couldn’t turn someone away who wanted help, and this seemed a simple thing. Worst case, he would text his sister for advice, but he would unlock that box when and if it were needed. So, after a long pause thinking to himself, Opal sigh before looking up at Holly. “Fine. I’ll try it. That’s all I can really offer. Again, I’m not a girl, so getting the boys to like you is out of my hands. But I can try…” Not like he had anything else to do, and beside it was 26AV. Who said guys couldn’t be pretty, even if the boy didn’t really think of himself that way? Beside, what the worst that could happen? Opal/Holly 602/1,612 Lets see where this goes

[attr="class","RDcontainer"] [attr="class","RDcontent"] Opal was keeping up this game of awfully good. The second time that she had said she wasn't a boy, Holly could almost believe it. But she wasn't born yesterday! Her big eyes kept looking at Opal's movements, and she seemed to have no problem with checking out all of Opal's features. A pleasant smile appeared on her lips when that darling even said that she didn't needed to do anything extra to get her to help. "You are too kind! I am still going to give you some extra fruit though, my treat! Expect a gift basket on your doorstep soon!" Even if it wasn't required, Holly liked to feed people and if Opal was being nice, she would make an extra big one for her! [break] [break] With that attitude the comment that Holly should be careful about who she gave stuff to. She scratched her chin for a moment before she answered without a hint of it being a joke as she clasped her hands together in front of her. "But that is how I get a lot of people outside of school to be friendly with me! They shout at you if you walk up to them and offer to talk to them and be their friend, but give them food to fill their bellies and those of their children, and they call you a saint!" It was honestly like that. Inside of the academy Holly was with people who were all exciting and were tolerant of people who were different. Outside of these walls, people were mean and would spit at you if you were a Faunus! Without them asking for it or giving permission! So, Holly had started to give out food in various ways. First she sold it, than she gave it through the Peasant Party, and now she just handed it out herself. People were now the most kind, and said she did good things! Nobody ever said she did as good when she did actual huntress stuff! [break] [break] After a last reluctant sigh, Opal agreed to the plan. Holly could kiss her right here and now, but Kishka had said that such acts were inappropriate and 'against the law'. Instead, Holly gave just a great big smile and went to sit on Opal's desk. With her legs hanging from the side, Opal didn't had an actual view down below, but she did have a 'cute' girl sitting on her desk that seemed to be enamored by his every word and action. Holly took an olive from the little tree and placed it slowly in her mouth while not breaking eye contact. As she nibbled on her own tasty treat, she began to speak again. "First, I want to know more about you! I cut a bit right to the chase, but I do want you to have a good time here at Haven! You got any family? A life goal of becoming a huntress? A traumatic experience that made you commit to a path of senseless state-sanctioned violence?" She said it with a cheerful tone that made the comment either a very much self-aware joke, or a massive warped sense of what was a normal conversation. [break] [break] "I was send here by my family! They live on an island! Mato-Mato. Sandy beaches, nice weather, a horrible war-torn past that caused the deaths of hundreds! I was to train and become strong for a secret scheme, but I kinda gave up on that and I am not on self-imposed exile! I would only be a problem to them right now, and I think they hate me! Maybe that will change, maybe it will not! I try to make the best of it!" While the smile on her face had lessened, she again spoke very casually about stuff that others would not utter to someone they just met. Holly honestly had given up on trying to keep such stuff secret. People thought she was crazy anyway. Like how they whisper after you leave. She knew that a lot of people thought she just made up a lot of things, so why even try to hide things. [break] [break] At least at Haven, a lot of people come here with problems and traumatic pasts that got them here! Most of us got a dead relative, some burned out village we grew up in, or at least a betrayal or something else that should honestly keep us from being 'functioning members of society'. Being a huntress is the only way we can have a somewhat normal life and not be crazy or killed! The school didn't care unless we really went off the rails. Didn't mean that most of us were cracked eggs, with only a few still good and pristine enough. Opal appeared to be one of those eggs, but Holly was honestly not truly sure. Looks can be deceiving. [break] [break] Holly plucked another olive from the tree, presenting it to Opal. "Olive? They are yummy" Holly would bring it closer to Opal's mouth. As much as she was allowed. If Opal took the olive or refused it, Holly would leave it at that. No harm done If Opal didn't stop Holly, she would feed it to her new wingmate with a smile. What was there better than feeding someone directly from your olive branch, right?

[Opal Machias]

After his first confusion, Opal finally clams himself enough to think straight once again. Sitting back in his seat, he just didn’t know what to do with this girl. She seemed fully convinced that he really was a girl if the look she gave him was any clue. It would be something he would have to set right later, not wanting it to lead to some misunderstanding with others. The last thing he wanted was for people to start thinking he was or wanted to be a one. It would just make everything confusing and awkward in the future otherwise.

He wasn’t really sure how he felt at that moment, being the subject of Holly's stare. It felt more like she was studying him, trying to see through his “joke,” he guessed. Still, he returned the smile to the girl's kind words. “Well, if you insist, I won’t say no to a free basket of goodies. So that you know, I’m not living on the campus just yet.” With his late return from his old academy, he was still in the middle of settling back in and just haven’t got around to it. He had been more focused on attending classes, not wanting to miss any more days.

To his surprised, Holly made a rather good counterpoint to his warning from before, even if he felt she bent it to match her own answer. But people with full belly were always more agreeable. Something even his father practice in his trade granted it is more monetary. Still, she wasn’t wrong about the city's people as it seems people were far more on edge than ever before. It was a waring thought of the young man.

She surprised him once again, this time by taking a seat atop his desk to watch him. In any other situation, this might have been enjoyable, very enjoyable, in fact. But he just felt more confused watching she ate an olive…slowly…without breaking eye contact with him. Was she really teasing him with this? It felt like it, but at the same time, not. The poor boy almost didn’t hear her asking her questions. Pushing those thoughts out of his, he turned his attention back up to Holly's face and away from the legs before him.

With a laugh, he shook his head. “Sorry, no traumatic experience…” He started but trailed off a bit as she spoke on. Holly spoke of why she came here, and that alone raised a few red flags, but he held his tongue on the subject. He found it doubtful it wasn’t already known with how callous he was about such a thing as “secret schemes.” “Have you tired of talking to them? Family isn’t something to throw away so easily, and I’m sure they don’t hate you.” Reaching out and placing a hand on Holly's knee, squeezing it softly. “I don’t know what this plan was, might be best if I don’t find out, but did you try your best? Cause that really all they could ask of you.” Said with a smile, but suddenly jerking his hand back.

“Right, *cough* Sorry about that.” Said, doing his best to keep his cool about his blunder. “You were asking about me? Well, not much to say…ACK!” He choked as an olive suddenly found its way into his mouth from Holly's hand. “Please don’t do that….” Happy he did not swallow it by mistake. “My family lives here in the city… Oh! They are good.” Pausing to eat the olive. “Anyway, if you want to know, I have two sisters. One older and the other is my twin.” Thinking if he says anything, but figure Holly wouldn’t believe him if he said Sappy looked like him, but as a girl.

“They both took after my mother's faunus side of the family while I took after my father.” Pausing once more to watch for a moment. People were more offended than not shocked to learn he was half faunas since most humans didn’t know that offspring could be one of the other. Hoping Holly was among the few whose faces would twist with disgust upon learning this. “As for me, I’m studying to be a doctor. The huntsmen part is mostly so I can travel without being eating by Grimm’s.” It was short and sweet of it. If she wanted to know more, then she was free to ask. After all, he was really used to talking about himself all that offends. He found his own life story to be boring when compared to most around him.

[attr="class","RDcontainer"] [attr="class","RDcontent"] So, she wasn’t living on campus yet? Did Opal have family living in Mistral? So, not some stray from some far away village that came here because she was the last hope for their continued survival? Lame! Holly’s cheeks expanded slightly as she gave a rather particular answer. “Well, you don’t get to sleep in my room… It is unsuited for someone with as delicate skin as yours… and well, there are more suitable roommates if you want that kind of stuff.”[break] [break] Also, Holly didn’t wanted Opal to see her cry![break] [break] Holly wanted to offer an answer as to why she hadn’t contacted her family, but all of that kind of remained in her head for a moment when Opal touched Holly’s knee and squeezed it. The pinkette’s mouth fell upon a bit, and a soft blush came on her face as she was actually caught off guard. “My family…isn’t home right now…Uhm…I mean they live off the continent, and I cannot really talk to them.” She didn’t expect that, and that was getting rarer and rarer. Maybe Opal was into girls after all? If it took my body to get her to play along, that was something that Holly had long taken peace with! A small pout appeared on her face when Opal took the hand back like she hadn’t meant that obvious sign just now![break] [break] All of this fluster caused Holly to maybe push the olive into Opal’s mouth a bit too forcefully. Her eyes turned large as she thought she might choke on it. Oh no! She did know that olives had seeds inside? No, they don’t just have those have tomato stuffing in the wild! People need to put them inside of olives after removing the pit! Holly had tried filling a tomato with olives, but the result wasn’t satisfactory, even though Carmim said she liked them well enough. Then again, she liked weird food. Holly’s smile returned ago as she went to lay down on the desk. With her back on the wooden surface, she looked up at the ceiling while her legs hung from the side as she listened to Opal. She smiled again when the blue goddess said she had two sisters. [break] [break] “Oh wow! I have two sisters as well! Though no twins! Delwyn is older and Clair is younger. I hope they are well! You truly are just a cuter me, but blue!” [break] [break] Blue Holly… Blolly… big shoes to fill, if Holly wore shoes… [break] [break] Holly hung her face off the side of the desk to check Opal out under the desk, and she saw that the girl wore shoes. Well, Holly couldn’t be that mad. Opal was a great and beautiful lady, who had every right to be held captive by the footwear industry leathery embrace around toes. The botanist returned fully to her new desk bed as she heard something that honestly shook her to her core. Faunus mother? But…a human father?[break] [break] …[break] [break] Created this?[break] [break] Her mouth hung upon again, something that she filled with an olive and began to chew on it. Holly didn’t seem disgusted, but there were definitely gears turning inside of her head in what convenient box she needed to place this information. She needed more info. She asked with a rather innocent tone something that she thought was quite harmless:[break] [break] “But…do you see yourself as a Faunus, or a human? Also, what is your mom?”[break] [break] Hmm, she could ask that more political correctly.[break] [break] “What kind of animal are her animal parts? Also, your sisters, I guess? I always found that kind of stuff…interesting, I guess. I honestly would like to have wings, but without the racism. We had a student here who had wings. His name was Jack! I once took drugs with him before I knew those were bad! He now runs a bakery now! Or…restaurant? Really good place. No drugs involved!”[break] [break] Holly squinted.[break] [break] “I think.”[break] [break] Holly took out her scroll, and she typed up a message to Jack Dawson. Something that she hadn’t done since he left. She called out the message as she typed.[break] [break] “Hey, Jack! How is it hanging? Still alive? Hope so! Quick question! Does your restaurant use drugs in its recipes? Organic drugs, maybe? Anyway, stay between us! Winky face emoticon. Take care of yourself! Don’t die out there! …loves, Holly! Hearts emoticon, hearts emoticon, double hearts emoticon, duck emoticon.”[break] [break] The duck was important. [break] [break] Placing her scroll again on her belly, she turned her attention back to Opal. [break] [break] “So…doctor Opal! In your professional opinion, what is the cure for a hopeless romantic who cannot score a date? Because I knew such a gall…” Holly pouted, seeming to go off on a tangent. “She is cute, mind you, even if she isn’t as cute as you! She can make every plant in existence grow, would love someone nearly unconditionally, and has jokes!” Holly placed her arms under her head. She actually didn’t seem to be all that upbeat about telling all this, as if she had kinda accepted all of this about herself. Still, it seemed to affect her enough not to shut up about it. “It kinda bumps me out, so that was why I asked you for advice. You are cute, so I thought that if I could be even more cute, I would make a chance, I guess….”

"Alright class, and that concludes today's rehearsal! Keep up the hard work, everybody! And good luck at the Festival, Jack! A lot of our donors will be there for your feature, and from what I hear, they're very excited to see you dance!"

The dark-haired youth glanced up from his bag as he heard his name. He gave a shy smile to his instructor. "Oh... Thanks! I-i'm just glad to have the um. Chance to p-perform. Thank you." Smiling, he slung the bag over his shoulder, before heading to the door to walk home. On the way, he happened to check his phone, and was pleasantly surprised to see a message from Holly- he hadn't heard from many of his friends from Haven since he left, so it was nice to see that-

...

O-oh gosh.

Drugs...? Why was it always drugs with her? He sighed as he typed out his reply:

"Hello Holly- it is very nice to hear from you! I am doing well, and am very much alive. I hope the same is true of you. As to your question, no, I do not believe we do, but if we ever start" A highly unlikely scenario, of course. "you will be the first one to know. Best wishes- Jack. :)"

Aaaaand send.

What a strange message, from a very strange girl. He'd have to visit sometime, on his next day off. Maybe bring a basket of bread or something for her.

Unfortunately, drug-free bread.

He shook his head, with a soft laugh.

Opal couldn’t help but laugh a bit at Holly's reaction with her puffy cheeks and only shook his head. “Kicked out, already am I?” He joked, starting to feel relaxed at last. “It's fine. My home only a short jog from here, so I’m okay.” An hour might not be really that short of a run, but with aura, he could easily cut thirty minutes from the run while getting a morning run in as well. It was not how he wanted to spend his first few weeks in the academy but couldn’t complain, really. It was the first time in almost four years he got to see his family for more than a few days while on break. However, the thought was enough to kill his smile as it seemed Holly had not had as much luck with her family.

“I see. Sorry. You did say it was an island, so guess it harder to get messages to them.” He knew that while scroll was handy, they didn’t reach everywhere in the world. At least not yet anyway. His smile returned as it seemed he found something Holly was happy to talk about as she talked about her sisters. Quickly follow with a grown at how cute he was again. He wanted to facepalm onto the desk but did his best to not.

“Oh? So, you’re the middle child. My older is Unakite, and my twin is Sapphire, Sappy for short. Although she hates it.” Laughing as he grins at the stupid nickname. “And yes, before you ask, we are all named after gems. It sorts of a family thing. And please stop calling me cute.” Only shrugging as he left it at that. If Holly wanted to know more, then he could explain. He didn’t like to bring it up himself when it seems others didn’t recognize his family name.

He watched as Holly got more comfortable, at least that what he guessed, as she laid down on his dress. If it wasn’t for this whole weird situation, Opal might even take this as a hint of flirting even. She was cute, after all, in an earthy hippy sort of way. But it seemed more like the girl just needed someone to talk to. Luckily it just so happen that Opal was rather good at listening. However, he watched her for a moment as it seemed she was deep in thought about what he was.

“See myself?” He asked before realizing he ever said it. This was a first for him as people stopped talking or gave him some reason they needed to leave. While others wanted to know what it was like having a foot in both doors. But never had he ever been asked of the two which he saw himself as. It wasn’t really even something he ever thought about, causing him to sit back in the chair, crossing his arm to think.

“I never thought about it, I guess. I never really like to think of myself as anything other than their brother. The whole human or faunus never matter to me. And funny, you should say wings since they're owls. Sadly, none of them have any real wings. Just some feathers and larger eyes.” He paused, reaching into his jacket and pulling out a scroll. With a few quick taps, he flipped it over to the little redhead. The screen was a selfie like a picture taken by Opal holding the scroll while standing next to his twin. A copy of himself but with slightly larger eyes, a few white feathers in her hair, and a more girly figure. Behind them was another taller woman, but with dark brown hair with feathers, holding a spear while grinning.

He was happy as it seemed Holly's question was mostly just her being a curiosity. If he wanted to, it would be easy to go through life hiding his other half, but it always made him feel sick thinking of it. His sisters could not hide what they were, and why should they? So he wouldn’t hide what he was from anyone either, even if it has cast him a few friends and dates in the past. Those were the kind of people he didn’t want in his life.

Only again, Holly caught Opal off guard as she spoke about her wing friend and how they did drugs together, wait, what?! Shaking his head Opal didn’t know what to say to this one. “Holly, that might not be something to say so openly.” Poking the girl in the side as it seemed she was getting a little too open with someone she just met. Then she got very open with him as she slowly got into a tangent about herself. He quickly guessed that this was the real reason she wanted to strike up that deal with him, thinking he was some cute girl. So, he let her talk to allow her an outlet for her feeling off her chest as he sat back listening. He still had no idea how to deal with this but knew he couldn’t leave it as it was now.

Plopping his elbows on the desk, he folded his hand together, much like a doctor, as he rested his chin atop his hands. Taking a moment to think on it for a time before opening his eyes and shrugging. “Honestly, I’m clueless as well.” He said, quickly raising a hand to stop any protesting. “Despite what you think, I’m not beating people away with a stick myself. I’m not even dating anyone, and yes, I know I just got here, but that’s beside the point.” Pausing to lock eyes with Holly before giving her a genuine smile. “If this gall you speak of is as cute, big-hearted, and has jokes as you say, then I’m sure she finds the love she was looking for. Maybe she has just been looking in the wrong places…”

Not that he could really talk as he wasn’t mistered Casanova himself. So he just said what felt right at the moment. The only thing he could ever do. “Beside Holly. If looks are the only reason someone wants to be with you, then they're really not worth keeping. Having someone want you for what on the inside matters just as much, if not more. At least that how if feel.” Sighing as he stopped again before shaking his head. “Sorry. I doubt this is what you want to hear, but I would share them if I knew the cheat code for dating. Honest.”

[attr="class","RDcontainer"] [attr="class","RDcontent"] Blue Me even puffed her cheeks cutely. [break] [break] It was nice to hear that her home was only a short jog away. That means that Holly could work into building their relationship till she allowed her into her home. There she could talk with Opal’s family, and further investigate her cuteness. Was it genetic? Was her mother a cute kitten and her father a puppy? Did they offered to some form of deity that Holly didn’t knew about, but would totally worship if it meant that her own children would be cuter than herself? [break] [break] When Opal made the astute observation that many people around Remnant didn’t had access to the Transmit System. Honestly, as of now getting word to there would mean going on an airship, or traveling a long ass way over land and then hop on a boat. None of them are that practical.[break] [break] Opal kept going about being a brother, which was odd, but the fact that she said she was part owl was quite interesting. Even if they were failed birds with only feathers and large eyes. Holly had large enough eyes, and was fully human! Opal was obviously a Faunus with denial, but Holly liked to give her the choice to be human if she wanted to be. “Saying that you are human would be easier for you, but I guess that isn’t your choice. That is cool. Sticking with your family and all that.”[break] [break] Holly turned her face towards Opal, seeming to ask the most serious follow up question in her life. “Do they barf up their food in pellets? Like, serious question. We got a student named Raul who is more wolf than man in some ways, so I am interested if Faunus have like…other quirks beyond just appearances.”[break] [break] The comment about doing drugs and not discussing such things openly were dismissed by Holly. Well, it is hard to dismiss a poke, which caused Holly to giggle slightly. Of course, she knew now that taking the wacky tobacky was generally frowned upon. Sure, eat your heart out with a greasy cheeseburger, or smoke your lungs black with them cigarettes, but when I grow some all-natural, homegrown, biodegradable herbs with medicinal purposes, there is suddenly a law against it all. [break] [break] Jack saw his scroll later than this talk happened, so Holly simply put her scroll away to fully focus on Opal. Because what she said was honestly incredibly troubling. At first, Holly thought it was a joke. She would have guys standing in lines for her, willing to drag their behinds over broken shards of glass just to see her smile to them as they watched her through a telescope. Still, having her say that Holly was maybe searching in the wrong places, brought another suspicion to the foreground again.[break] [break] Was she coming on to me?[break] [break] “Sure, it is not the way the calzone is shaped and smell, it is also what is inside of its gooey centre. I know! You don’t wanna find razorblades in there.” She said while still laying on the desk before she puffed her cheeks. “I did think that you would have a little more experience with dates. I only had one, and he was boring. Wore a kite. Never even went on a real date with my first boyfriend. He is insane now. So sure, personality matters a lot.” Holly conceded, seeming to really dismiss the fact that Ryan went insane in this casual enough conversation. [break] [break] The matter of fact remained was that Holly honestly only cared about Opal’s beauty at first, and nothing else. Then she found out that she was honestly kind, kinda funny, and most likely a great friend. [break] [break] Holly still mostly only cared about her looks though. [break] [break] Time to press the angle that she might be into me![break] [break] Holly flipped herself 90 degrees, so that she was now turned with her body towards Opal. She booped her nose slightly, and went on the charm offensive. [break] [break] “You are doing great without any cheat codes.” She said, the blush still on her face. Holly took another olive from the branch, without having even swallowed or spit out the first pit. “In what kind of places do you think that I should be looking, for some cuter, more big-hearted, and having beautiful blue hair?” She placed the olive seductively enough on her lips. She batted her eyelashes before she tried to suck the olive without her hands into her mouth.[break] [break] The olive shot into her throat, as she miscalculated the amount of pressure was needed.[break] [break] Holly fell backwards and rolled off the table in a fluid motion, not really helping the fact that she was now thoroughly suffocating on that sexy olive while on the floor. [break] [break] She made weird noises as she coughed and spasmed, looking like the very model of a modern maiden Botanist, having a freaking choke out session after trying to woe Opal with her feminine wiles.[break] [break] Now she could only make distasteful wails.

[Opal Machias]

Honestly, he was at a loss as to what to do with this girl. Nothing he said seem to piece that thick skull of her that he was, in fact, a he. There had been the occasional time in the past he had been mistaken as a girl. He was often out with his sister, but after a few words, most people figured it out quickly. He just really hoped this didn’t lead to the thought spreading around the academy.

Leaning back in his seat, he couldn’t help smirking while coming out of his thoughts at Holly's question. “Well, keep it between us, but yeah, they did. When they were both little, they used to try to barf their food up sometimes. They grew out of it pretty quickly, but it still a good teasing point when I need it.” Laughing a bit to himself, thinking about it. Sappy would kill him if she knew he told anyone about that childhood habit of hers.

Still, this was turning out to be, at the very least, a weird day for him. Sitting there in an empty classroom after school with a girl lying on top of his desk. A girl who thought he was a girl and chose him to ask for romance advice. This wasn’t exactly how he imagined this type of scenario playing out. After all, he was still a guy, and when a cute girl asks you to stay behind well, your mind goes to places.

It wasn’t like he minds helping anyway. He always had a hard time turning people away when they asked for help, but this was a first for him. At least in the way, it was technically a girl-to-girl talk, in Holly's mind anyway. Seating back in his seat, he listens to the girl go on about her past “Love life” or something close to it, and it seemed it had been, in a kind way, a rocky road. He was trying his best to keep his eyes on her face, but occasionally his eyes did wander. He was still eighteen years after all, no matter how mature he might act.

Truthfully if it wasn’t for the weird vibes he got off the girl, he might have thought about it a bit more. It had been a while since he had dated as well, but unlike his new friend here, it wasn’t something he felt he needed. It was just something nice. Nice to have someone there to talk to and love, not that he ever got that far with anyone to really use the big L-word.

Then things escalated quickly, with Holly rolling onto her side to face him, causing him to return to her face quickly. Was she blushing now? What was she talking about? Blue hair? Wait, was she now talking about him?! Did she hit on him now? Or he guessed in her mind hitting on her… For a moment, his mind wanders to an odd point in this imaginary relationship reached a point where he proved to the girl he was, in fact, very much a guy.

Suddenly that fever dream of a thought came to a crash as the sound of choking burst out with Holly rolling off the desk and onto the floor. Did she choke on an olive?! Or so he thought as the wails didn’t stop and only intensified with her rolling on the ground! No, she was still choking on it! With a grasp of his own, Opal was to his feet, knocking his chair over while rushing over. Despite his size, Opal was surprisingly strong as he easily picked the girl up before wrapping his arms around her from behind. If it weren’t for the situation's seriousness, this would have been a most peculiar position given their talk so far. Thankfully, the boy was serious with his study and proceeded with the Heimlich maneuver, locking his hand together under her chest before giving five thrusts into her abdomen. He would repeat this until whatever she was choking on pop loose.

[attr="class","RDcontainer"] [attr="class","RDcontent"] Despite some magazine advertising that you should only let someone choke you who you trust, this olive was honestly going at it like it was its intent to end this girl's whole life. In truth, the world would most likely be better for it and it deserves the medal of Vytal for its heroic commitment towards a more peaceful world.[break] [break] Holly, on her end, was honestly very quickly past the stages of choking on her food. Like...too swiftly. She had accepted that she was choking, tried to do something about it by flailing about and coughing, landed flat on the ground after rolling of the table, and was now just waiting for the sweet embrace of death to take her.[break] [break] Sure, it might not be the way she intended to go out when waking up this morning...but now the moment was there it honestly started to become more and more appealing by the second. The...running out of air kind of deal... Like, quite enjoyable, even.[break] [break] Despite Holly not being too long choking before Opal applied the Heimlich, the precious seconds that Holly began choking and running out of air where...strangely pleasant in her head. Sure, her body might be flailing and the noises she made were the dead-throes of a bunny facing its own demise,,, but her mind was...clear. [break] [break] Peaceful...[break] [break] Before Holly could romanticized her own death by self-imposed choking even more, Opal had wrapped her arms around Holly and tried desperately to get her to spit out that brave and courage olive. After a few times, Holly spit out the olive with an almost comically amount of force behind it as it was flung outside of her throat and flew across the classroom. Holly herself began to violently cough and grow limb after that as her brain painfully reset now that it was being supplied with that pesky air to keep her from dying.[break] [break] Stupid air.[break] [break] As the coughing, slightly crying, and all around awful feeling pink girl regained enough composure to form a somewhat coherent sentence again, she also had regained her sense of humour again. "I don't think I will pass owl class...horrible gag reflex... though... I believe that is also... a plus, am I right?" [break] [break] Charming. Racist, but charming.[break] [break] Holly was still very much out of it and wouldn't be able to properly stand on her feet for a bit. Or, at least she attempted to act that way as she was a-ok with the way Opal was holding her like this right now. It had been a while since Holly had any kind of hug...even the kind meant to save her life. The pinkette had the stupid reaction to blush now that he mind began to process more and more how close Opal was right now. Skin touching skin, her breath on Holly's neck, her smell so close you could...smell it.[break] [break] She was going to milk Opal for all she was worth in this moment! See it as a great bonding exercise![break] [break]
