It was a beautiful morning in Remnant. The sun was rising over the horizon with the birds chirping. It was a fantastic start to the day for anyone. In a dark room covered by curtains, a certain deep red hair boy was lying in bed soundly asleep; snoring can be heard as well.
???: Y/N WAKE UP! IT'S TIME TO GET UP!
The boy name y/n springs open, his eyes groaning as loud as possible. He waited to see what was going to happen next, but after a while, he didn't hear anything else, so he went back to closing his eyes again, wanting to get more sleep, but someone bashed their fist onto his door jolting him awake.
Y/n:(quietly) she's an actual morning demon...
He sits upon his bed, trying to fix his hair while rubbing his eyes with his other hands, but before he could make any further movement, his door flew off the frame, almost hitting him if he didn't jump out of the way.
Y/n: WHAT IN THE WORLD IS WRONG WITH YOU!
A young girl steps into the room, She has long, beautiful pink hair with violet color eyes. She was standing at 5'5, which shows her "slightly" above average figure well. Her outfit consists of white high heel boots and black leggings. She also has a white long sleeve jacket that was over a black shirt.
Y/n: seriously, Olivia!? Couldn't you just wait another 2 DAMN MINUTES!?
She angrily walks up to him, putting her hands on her hips while pouting.
Olivia: Right, it's my fault that I want to see MY OLDER BROTHER one last time before I go to beacon!
Y/n:(gets off the hard floor) I get that, but it's-
He looked at his alarm clock that was on his desk and saw that it was 6 am.
Y/n: ITS 6 IN THE MORNING! (Grabs both of her cheeks and pulls them) Why are you up so early, you damn lark!?
Olivia: IM SORRY! I WAS JUST EXCITED!
After a few seconds, y/n let's go his sister, making her fall down to the floor. She quickly jumps up like a rabbit on crack and smacks her brother on the head, making him fall forward.
Olivia: you, on the other hand, should be worried about me! What would you do if something were to happen to me at beacon?
Y/n:(quietly) yay, one less mouth to feed and a lot more money to spend on myself...
Olivia: excuse me!?
Y/n:(groans as he gets up) I'm not going to worry about you if I already know, you'll do fine. You've been training for this day for a very long time; it'll be insulting if I doubted you.
Olivia:(smiles) that you see, that's more like it! Now come on, I'm hungry!
She hops out of his room like what she did ever happen. Y/n, let out a sigh and look over at his door, which was still resting on top of his bed.
Y/n: she may be acting all tough now, but that's how she is when she's nervous or scared. We barely just moved from Atlas to Vale a couple of years ago, hoping she can get used to the area quickly.
Rushing, he takes off the shirt he slept in. y/n then looks down at the massive scar on his chest. He couldn't help but run his fingers along the side, being reminded how he got it before getting a grip on it. He lets go and changes into a red long sleeve shirt and black pants. He walks out into the open hallway, then into the kitchen, where he sees Olivia waiting "patiently" at the dinner table.
Olivia: there you are! Hurry up; I'm starving!
Y/n:( narrows his eyes) you know, you can always cook for yourself if you're going to complain.
Olivia: eh! No way! (pouts) why would I want to do that!?
Y/n:(grab some eggs from the fridge) so you can learn. Once you get inside beacon, you can no longer rely on me to fill up your stomach.
Olivia: Nooo, I can just visit in the morning for food!
Y/n grabs four pieces of bread, putting them in the toaster while adding bacon bits to the eggs.
Y/n:(chuckles) if you make it on time, but I doubt it.
Olivia: if I can't have your cooking, then I won't eat at all!
Y/n: hey, come on now. No need to act like a child; let's just our last breakfast before you leave.
Though he had his back turn, he could feel the sadness coming off his sister. Knowing what it'll lead to, he quickly grabs two plates and spreads the food evenly. He walks over to the dinner table, sitting both plates down before taking a seat next to his sister. Olivia slowly grabs hers, taking a small bite off one of her bread. It was quiet during breakfast. Neither of them said much until Olivia taps her brother on the forehead.
Y/n: what is it?
Olivia: I think it's time.
Y/n: oh, okay, I'll get my coat. I'll meet you outside.
TIMESKIP
Olivia was waiting outside, resting her back against the wall.
Y/n: you're ready?
His sister looks up at him; she lets out a forced smile, trying to hide her true feelings. She gives him a nod before reaching for her suitcase, but y/n beats her to it.
Y/n: I got it.
Olivia: no, I can-
Y/n:(held his hand out) It's okay, let's get going before you miss your flight.
Olivia: okay.....
They walk side by side towards the drop zone.
Y/n: do you have enough clothes with you?
Olivia: Yeah.
Y/n: toothbrush?
Olivia: yes.
Y/n: hairbrush?
Olivia: yes, y/n!
Y/n: that's a lie.
He reaches inside his coat pocket and pulls out her hairbrush. She quickly snatches it out of his hands, embarrassedly putting it away. Y/n begins to laugh, which was stopped by Olivia slapping the back of his head.
Olivia: you don't have to take it out in public!
Y/n: relax! Relax! I'm just helping you out!
Olivia: You help out too much!!!
Her brother silently laughs while running where he got hit. They were a bit early, so they decided to sit down on a nearby bench. Y/n looked at his sister and saw that she seemed pretty pale as she rubbed her hands on her knees.
Y/n:(grab her hand) hey, calm down, no need to be nervous.
Olivia: I'm going to be away from you for a long time. It's going to get some time to get used to.
Y/n:(smirks) you know, you can visit me during the weekend and on your breaks.
Olivia:(looks down) I... I guess...
Y/n:(put a hand on top of her head) come on, I get what you're saying but-
Olivia: I mean, you had a dream too, and it feels wrong that you left yours behind just to help me achieve mine. Maybe I can talk to the headmaster and-
Y/n: enough, Olivia!
Olivia: but-
Y/n: sis, after what happened, I'm no longer the person I used to be. I doubt he'll even let me in, my dream is gone, but I'm happy that you'll be able to live yours.
They continue to sit down in silence until the bullhead finally arrives. The door opens, allowing all of the passengers to get inside. Olivia grabs her suitcase and begins to walk over to the ship.
Y/n: Bye Olivia.
Olivia:(slowly waves) see ya.
Y/n watch his sister disappear into the crowd, he could feel his heart slowly tightening. He should be happy for her, but he can't help but feel upset that she won't be around as much anymore. He puts his hands in his pocket, turning around to head back home.
Olivia: Y/n!!
He stops and looks back to see his sister running right at him.
Y/n: what are you doing-
Olivia stops him by wrapping her arms around his chest, holding him tightly.
Olivia: Take care, okay...
Y/n:(smiles) Don't worry about me, now knock them dead.
Olivia:(let's go) I got this!
She lost every bit of sadness she had, and in return, she was full of determination. This was heartwarming for y/n; he ruffles up her hair before kissing her on the forehead.
Y/n: now get out of here before you get left behind.
Olivia: on it! Bye bro! Love you!
Y/n: I love you too.
With a smile on his face, he watches her making it to the ship just in time before the door closes. He was able to get a glance of her waving at him with a huge smile. A tear fell down his cheek, feeling proud that she's all grown up.
Y/n:(shake his head) I can't believe it. I can't believe it.
TIMESKIP
Now that he has taken care of dropping off his sister, it was time for work. Where he lives is a two-story building, his "house" was on the second floor while his newly made weapon shop was on the first floor. Even though he's no longer a huntsman in training or whatever, he's still pretty good with weapons thanks to his semblance. He got things ready for the day, ensuring that everything was all set before flipping the sign from close to open. He stands behind the counter, waiting for any customers.
Olivia: you had a dream too.....
That sentence keeps replaying in his head. She's right; he also had a dream that he wanted to fulfill. It was not to attend beacon or fame of being a huntsman but to help and save as many people as possible. Wanting to clear his mind, he walked into his workspace and saw multiple swords mounted on the wall.
Y/n: I did have a dream... but mine was just cut too short.
???:(in the front) hello? Y/n?
Y/n: coming! (Look back at the swords) it's up to you now, sis.
He walks to the back of the counter, where he was met with someone waiting to be assisted.
Y/n: ah, Bryce, it's good to see you.
Bryce: The same can be said here; how's the shop holding up?
Y/n: well, it's been open for a week now, and it's been doing surprisingly well. I apparently have a nickname already.
Bryce: I heard; it's good to know that you have been doing well.
Bryce is a retired huntsman in his mid-thirties; he's currently teaching at a local combat school and was the first person y/n met when he first moved to the vale.
Y/n: thank you for those kind words, so how can I help you.
Bryce: ah, oh right, almost forgot.
He pulls out a large revolver from his hip pocket, placing it on the counter. Y/n grabs the weapon with two hands and carefully examines it, making sure it has safety on.
Y/n:(in awe of the weapon) a Smith & Wesson Model 500, the most powerful revolver in all of the remnant. What appears to be wrong with it?
Bryce: it's been jamming up recently; it almost took out an eye when it recoils back harshly. I have wanted to give a quick demonstration of it to my class, but I don't want to kill anyone.
Y/n:(puts it down) I see, and have you tried taking it apart to see if it's just the bullet? Cause at times, the shots due tend to be fired awkwardly with this one.
Bryce: no, I didn't want to damage it more than it is. That's why I came here; I'm willing to pay the total price even if it's just the bullet.
Y/n:(smiles) now. now. First, we got to see if it's worth paying for.
He gently places his hands onto the revolver and Slowly runs his hands along the side. His palms start to produce a faint blue light sending the same color current throughout the whole gun. Y/n closes his eyes and receives an inside picture of the revolver flashing in his mind. He opens them, giving Bryce a gentle smile.
Y/n: it's nothing major; the spring is a bit old and chip, so it'll need a new one, and the holster needs some polishing, but other than that, you're good. Just give me 10 minutes, 'll be on your way.
Bryce:(bows) thank you! You're a lifesaver!
Y/n:(wave him off) it's nothing; I'm just doing my job. Just wait here for a sec alright.
He entered the back of his shop with the gun in hand. He grabs a few items before walking over to his desk, getting started by first taking apart the weapon. His eyes were slowly taken off the broken revolver and were placed onto a picture of him and his sister standing Infront of their new home.
Y/n:(smiles) I wonder if she's doing okay.
Olivia pov.
Olivia:(having her arms cross) seriously, it feels like I have been here for hours! When will we get there!!!
In the bullhead, she was sitting in the corner alone, wanting to get away from any of the windows. She never really likes flying due to her slight fear of heights; having survived multiple falling out of a tree can do that to you. While Olivia had her thoughts, she noticed a blonde guy throwing up in the corner across from her. She couldn't help but feel disgusted, thinking that he could have shown he hated flying differently.
Olivia: having a rough flight there as well?
Vomit boy: you're talking to me?
Olivia: who else? We're kind of the only two people standing around the corner.
Vomit boy: oh right, Yeah, just some motion sickness.
Olivia: I hear you, but it'll get worse if you can keep her head down, keep it straight for a while. (reach inside her bag) and here I have some pills that can help out with that.
She got up from her seat and handed him the packet of pills.
Vomit boi: Are you sure?
Olivia: Yeah, I do have my fair share of motion sickness, but it helps not worry about it.
Vomit: thank you, I'll try anything to make this stop.
He pops out one of the pills from the packet, as Olivia helps out even more by handing him bottled water. He throws it into his mouth before downing it with water.
Olivia: How do you feel?
Vomit boi: I feel better, a lot better, actually. Thank you!
Olivia:(smiles) it's no problem, just glad I can help! (held out a hand) the name Olivia Imeya is a pleasure to meet you.
The boy looks at her hands before reaching out to grab them for a firm handshake.
Jaune: I'm Jaune Arc, short, sweet rolls off the tongue. The ladies love it.
Olivia:(unamused) I think I can vouch for every female in the world and say that isn't the case at all.
Jaune: They will someday!
Olivia: Uh Huh, Well, it's nice to meet you anyways.
Jaune: Nice to meet you too.
They both heard a loud commotion coming from the front of the ship; they looked and saw almost all the students standing near the window.
Olivia: I guess we're about to land.
She walks over to the window to see the giant castle-like school that is Beacon.
Olivia:(smiles) I made it big, bro.
TIMESKIP
Once the bullhead landed, the crowd of students all rushed out of the ship. Olivia and Jaune follow from behind, not wanting to get trampled over.
Jaune: Wow, there sure are a lot of people...
Olivia: It's honestly a bit nerve-wracking; I hope things can go well.
Jaune: I think we follow them before we get lost cause I don't know my way around this place.
Olivia: me neither, but we don't have to rush! Now that we're here, what can possibly go wrong-
Suddenly a loud explosion can be heard in the distance. Jaune looks down at Olivia, unsure if he should trust her words, while she facepalms, letting out an audible sigh.
Olivia:(mumbles) Unbelievable fucking timing!
Jaune: should we go check it out?
Olivia: why not...
They made their way over to where the explosion happened. When they got there, they saw a White-haired girl yelling at another girl in a red hood.
White: "Unbelievable! This is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about!"
Red: (embarrassed) "I'm really, really sorry!"
White: "Ugh, you complete dolt! What are you even doing here? Aren't you a little young to be attending Beacon?"
Jaune:(whispering) should we be here for this?
Olivia:(whispering) I don't know, it feels weirdly domestic...are we complicit in this if we don't speak up?
Jaune:(whispering) I have no idea...
Olivia was about to speak up for the girl in the red, but when she continues to stare at the one in white, she starts to seem familiar.
Olivia: It can't be.... (speaks up) Weiss?
Once hearing her name, Weiss stops shoving a dust crystal against the girl in the red hood face. She turns around to see Olivia walking toward her.
Weiss:(eyes widen) Olivia, is that you?
Olivia:(smirks) the one and only.
Weiss instantly engulfs Olivia in a hug, which surprises her.
Olivia: good to see you still have this soft side.
Weiss:(pulls away) it's been such a long since we last saw each other.
Olivia: It sure has! It is great to see you again, but umm, main explaining what happened there?
She points at the giant mess behind her friend, the girl in the red hood saw and panic, trying to clean herself off.
Weiss: Well, that dolt didn't watch where she was going and caused one of the fire dust to combust! She couldn't be any dumber.
Red: I said I was sorry!!
Olivia:(nervously smile)and there's the mean Weiss I know...
Weiss: I have so much to tell you to come on; let's get away from these two.
Olivia: Hey, wait-
She grabs Olivia by her hand and begins to drag her away
Olivia:( to Jaune) sorry, I'll see you later! Weiss, wait for a second!!
Weiss drags her to where the red hood girl was, she was holding a bottle, but Weiss rudely takes it from her, walking off in a huff, still dragging her friend. Her helpers gather the luggage and follow behind them.
Olivia: This is my life now.....
After storing away all of Weiss's dust, Olivia was walking next to her, trying to get to the auditorium in time.
Olivia:(put her hands behind her head) I can't believe you still carry an unnecessary amount of dust.
Weiss: I'm here to fight Grimm, aren't I?
Olivia: I guess you're right, but still, it's rather unsafe.
Weiss:(sighs) hey, I take every safety precaution. It's the dolts here that are reckless!
Olivia: Must say I'm impressed we were here for less than a day, and you already made enemies.
Weiss; whatever, so where have you been? You disappear without saying goodbye.
Olivia: didn't winter already tell you?
Weiss:(shakes her head) no, I haven't seen her in quite some time.
Olivia: I moved here like three years ago. Y/n thought it'll be best to get used to the area.
Weiss: oh right, your brother. How's he doing? I hope he's doing okay after what happened.
Olivia: he's doing fine, it was hard on him for some time, but he stays strong.
Weiss: That's good to hear. I feel bad that he can no longer be what he wanted to be.
Olivia:(look down) he hasn't given up yet, but he did put it aside to help me make it to this school.
Weiss: He has always been such a kind soul. No wonder everyone, even my sister, took a liking to him.
Olivia:(thumbs up) that's why I'm proud to have him as my older brother!
Time skip
After catching up with each other, they finally made it to the auditorium right on time. Olivia follows Weiss, trying to find a seat for them, but she accidentally bumps into her friend.
Olivia: Hey, you have to watch it...
Weiss: You!
Olivia: oh no...
She looks at the red hood girl, quickly jumping into the arms of the girl next to her.
Red: Oh, God, it's happening again!
Olivia: Weiss, don't you think we can take care of this another time?
Weiss: No! She should know how lucky we were that we didn't get blown off the side of the cliff!
Blond: (deadpan) Oh my God, you really exploded.
Red: It was an accident. (getting down; to Weiss) It was an accident!
Olivia watches Weiss hold up a pamphlet titled "DUST for dummies and other Inadequate Individuals dropping it on the poor girl.
Olivia:(eyes widen) oh, not that again...
Red: What's this?
Weiss starts listing off policies to a clueless and horrified girl going faster and higher pitched with each word.
Weiss: The Schnee Dust Company is not responsible for any injuries or damages sustained while operating a Schnee Dust Company product. Although not mandatory, the Schnee Family highly encourages their customers to read and familiarize themselves with this easy-to-follow guide to Dust applications and practices in the field.
Red: Uuhhh...?
Olivia:( moves her head to the side) it means you should read this if you don't want to get into trouble with (points at the Schnee logo) them.
Weiss:(sighs) You really wanna start making things up to me?
Red: Absolutely?
Weiss: Read this, and don't ever speak to me again.
Olivia: Okay, Weiss, maybe you two need a fresh start cause this is getting ridiculous even for me.
Blond: she's right; why don't you start over and try to be friends, okay?
Ruby: (putting the pamphlet away) Yeah! Great idea, sis! (holding out her hand as she clears her throat) Hello, Weiss! I'm Ruby! Wanna hang out? We can go shopping for school supplies!
Weiss: (seemingly enthusiastic) Yeah! And we can paint our nails and try on clothes and talk about cute boys, like tall, blond, and scraggly over there!
Jaune: Hm?
Ruby: Wow?!
Weiss: (dead silence under her glare) No.
Olivia just facepalms as she watches her friend walk off, not saying another word.
Blond: what's her problem?
Olivia:(bows) I'm sorry, she tends to act like that when it comes to new people!
Blond: well, that isn't nice! At least you look nice.
Olivia: I'm Olivia; it's nice to meet you.
Yang: the name yang and this here is ruby, my sister.
Ruby: Hello! I hope we can become friends!
Olivia:(smiles) I'll like that.
The girls' attention is drawn to the stage, where Professor Ozpin is readying the microphone, with Glynda beside him.
Ozpin: I'll... keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge, to hone your craft and acquire new skills, and when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy, in need of purpose, direction. (as the students whisper among themselves) You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step.
Glynda: (as Ozpin leaves, she steps up to talk) You will gather in the ballroom tonight; tomorrow, your initiation begins. Be ready. You are dismissed.
Yang: He seemed kind of... off.
Ruby: It's almost like he wasn't even there.
Weiss:(walks back to Olivia) let's go, we should hurry if we want to get the good spot-
Jaune: (approaching Weiss from the side) I'm a natural blond, you know!
Weiss puts her hand to her face in exasperation while Olivia giggles.
TIMESKIP: Y/n POV.
Y/n; thank you, please come again.
He waves goodbye at a fully satisfied customer; he stretches out his arm, earning a few good pops. He then looks inside his cash register, looking at what he earned.
Y/n: today's been pretty successful, I must say.
The shop's door opened, y/n quickly closed the register and looked up at a man who was wearing all black. Y/n couldn't get a good view of his face since the man was also wearing a hat.
Y/n: is there anything I could help you with?
The man didn't say anything and continued to look around, making y/n question if he's even a customer.
Man:(quietly) I see, so nothing has changed...
Though it was faint, y/n could hear everything that came out of his mouth. The man just looks at y/n for a split second before exiting the shop.
Y/n: that hell was that all about? And what does he mean by "nothing has changed"?(Look at the clock) oh, it's time to close the shop for today.
He starts going around his shop cleaning everything up; he was about to lock the doors when he heard his scroll begin to ring. He took it out of his pocket and saw the id number of his sister. He answers the call placing his scroll between his ear and shoulder.
Y/n: yo sis!
Olivia: y/n! How are you?
Y/n: good, just finish up for today, what about you?
He locks the doors, turning the knob just in case.
Olivia: we're about to go to bed soon. Everyone is in the ballroom, so it's like a giant sleepover!
Y/n:(chuckles) I better not hear you flirting with the boys over there!
Olivia: y/n! Who do you take me as?
Y/n: a reckless little girl who loves to cause problems for me.
Olivia: Okay, that's fair...
Y/n(chuckles) I'm just joking.
Olivia: I know, oh, by the way, guess who I ran into today?
Y/n: I have no clue, who?
Olivia: Weiss, she's here in beacon!
He walks over to the stairs turning off the lights. He then starts to walk up, heading to the second floor.
Y/n:(surprise) really?! I never thought her family would want that.
Olivia: she told me that she wanted to repair their family name.
Y/n: I mean, that's good for them, but knowing Weiss and her sister, I bet she already made some enemies.
Olivia:(giggles) funny you say that cause that's how I ran into her.
Y/n: of course, well, that's good that you have someone there you know.
Olivia: yeah...
There was Silence for a moment until y/n cleared his throat.
Y/n: did you eat?
Olivia: Yeah, I had some chicken with fries.
Y/n: was it good?
Olivia: it was, but again I rather have yours.
Y/n: well, once you come to visit, I'll make you a feast.
Olivia: hahaha, deal...
Y/n: you're still nervous, aren't you?
Olivia:(Nervously giggle) you notice?
Y/n: you're my sister, of course, I do.
Olivia: It's just, everything happening way too fast; I haven't processed any of this.
Y/n: you will sooner than later but trust me, facing it head-on is the best thing you could do.
Olivia: Okay, I'll take you up on that.
Weiss and Yang: (in the distance) Oh, not you again!
Ruby:(distant) Shh! Guys, she's right! People are trying to sleep!
Olivia:(to Weiss) oh, come on, not now! (To y/n) sorry, bro, I got to take care of something; I'll call you later.
Y/n: sure, good night.
Olivia: night, love you!
She hangs up, y/n walks into his room, and falls on his bed.
Y/n: it's going to take some time getting used to, but we'll get through this.
He grips onto his chest.
Y/n: please take care of her...
His mind suddenly switches from his sister to the man he saw earlier.
Y/n: he was strange, but something about him seems off... I guess I shouldn't worry. He was probably on something.
He closes his eyes falling asleep.
To be continued...
