Pestilence Over Remnant [Reader X Neo]

Chapter 22: Gracefully Falling Forward

Letting out yet another countless sigh, he took our his scroll to see a notification...from Neo of course. Well, he had notifications from nearly everyone else as well, but pft, he HAD explained he rarely used his scroll...a half lie indeed. Simply, he only responded to a certain two people's messages frequently. Ozpin...and of course, his dearest Neo.

Seeing nothing else to do, Y/N tapped on Neo's chathead to start yet another text log.

Neo: Hey, Y/N~♡
Neo: We're almost done. Hope we didn't keep you waiting to long?

Of "course not" I am pretty bored though :Y/N
Please hurry ;~; :Y/N

Neo: We will, or at least I will :)
Neo: Are our plans still up?

Yes, of course they are :Y/N

Neo: Great! It woulda been "awful" to have forcefully dragged you to the dance

Oh how "funny". I'd like to see you try :Y/N

Neo: Oh? Is that a request? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Neo: Cuz I'm mooore then willing to ;)

Neo, I'm joking :Y/N

Neo: Dragged to the dance? Or to the dorm? ;3

Neo, Please. I'm joking. I swear ;n; :Y/N

Neo: Or maybe...to the bed? >:3
Neo: And this time, I'll remember to lock the door

NEO! PLEASE! STAWP! :Y/N

Neo: To bad, you forfeited your free will~♡ ^-^
Neo: We're headed out now. Don't keep your icecream girl waiting for your syrup :3

Taking a deep breath, Y/N tucked away his scroll. Once he had mustered enough courage, he summoned his cane via his semblance as he stood from his seat.

Team CEN then exited the warehouse the doctor had been waiting in front of. Cinder gave a rather shy wave to greet the boy while Emerald simply gave a two finger salute. Neo on the other hand, tilted her head while she held up a peace sign in addition to giving him her now famous smug wink.

Y/N: *chuckles while scratching beak* "I'm in danger"

Regardless, Y/N made his way toward the group. Once within the socially acceptable distance, the four made their rather short trip to the Bullhead that would be known as their "ride home".

Location: Beacon Academy
Time: 4:45PM

The members of CEN without the addition of Y/N now made their way out of Y/N's dorm. Truth be told, the group had forgotten to grab a quick meal to eat while they were still in Vale. As such, Y/N volunteered to prepare a rather dapper lunch, to which they graciously accepted.
