Description
Is it?“seriously though….”
“not this again…”
“your can't say you're not curious Ying.” a young woman with long light pink hair says out loud as she puts both hands on the kitchen table between her and another young woman getting a drink out of the near by fridge.
“That's none of our business.” she replies moving a strand of dark brown hair behind her ear.
“But it's like a huge mystery!” the pink haired girl whines laying the top half of her body across the table the pink furred ears on the top on her head folding down in a depressed manner.
“it's not that big…” Ying replies before taking a sip of her drink.
“the mystery or something else?” the cat girl grins mischievously. Her sudden words causes the other to choke on her water.
“Prim!” Ying glares at her friend with a bright red face before sighing and looking down at her semi soaked pink yukata. “great…”
“getting wet already huh?” the female faunus grins happily.
“Prim stop it. I'm going to go dry off.”
“Hurry up we need to get going.”
“where are we going?” Ying asks raising an eyebrow.
“it's a surprise~.”
“somehow I don't think this is going to end well.” the ravenette sighs.
Time passes and Ying can't help but glare at her pink haired friend
“prim….”
“shhh!”
“prim…”
“quiet or he’ll hear you.”
“why are we even here?”
“to see.”
“Prim no! We are not doing this!” Ying hisses quietly from her perch in a tree where prim was currently spying through a nearby window of a certain head masters office.
“Oh come on. It's not like we aren't allowed to be here, he invited us to help establish connections from outside of atlas as teachers.” Prim.
“that doesn't excuse us spying on him.” Ying retorts.
“think of it as recon training.”
“is that what qrow told you to do when he asked us to take the job over helping at beacon?”
“no.. more like having the right friends in the right places, or something like that I'm not sure.” prim waves it off.
“I think we can trust the general…”
“Oh this isn't about trust, this is about something… else.” she smirks.
“.... are you still on that?” Ying suddenly realizes the point to them being in the tree and sends her friend a dark glare.
“no, but maybe you'll be.~ Ack! Ahhhh!”
A dull thud can be heard down below and Ying gives out a cheeky smile down below.
“I thought cats always landed on their feet.” she states looking at prim face down on the ground near the base of the tree.
“shut up…”
“okay new plan.” Prim groans holding an ice pack to the top of her forehead.
“new plan?” Ying asks as they walk down the halls of the Academy.
“yep! Plan B!” Prim cheers stopping in front of the boys locker room.
“the locker room?” Ying asks folding her arms over her chest. “Prim we aren't children anymore.”
“exactly which is why we are doing “inspections”. The faunus girl states using her fingers to make air quotation marks.
“But this doesn't make sense why are we even here?” Ying asks with a glare.
“sources say that the good old head masters likes to take a morning shower before the students and other soldiers awake after a morning jog, so we’ll just camp out overnight.” prim states nonchalantly.
“you should stop flirting with the other teachers to get information…”
“hey this is good information!” the pink haired girl frowns.
“meaning it's from Qrow.”
“that doesn't matter now let's go in.” she ushers her friend by going behind and pushes her towards the door.
“Prim just stop this isn't going to-” Ying’s sentence gets cut off as the locker room suddenly swings open and the metal edge catches her in the right side of the head.
“ah! Ms. Hua we didn't know you were there!” a nervous soldier stutters.
“Are you alright?” another asks horrified as Ying holds her hand over her right eye.
“no worries, I think so…” Ying replies and blinks at few times yet a slight shock is felt and she looses focus temporarily in the injured eye.
“looks like it's out of alignment again…” prim sighs.
“it can be fixed.”
“are you sure you're okay ms hua?” the previous student asks.
“don't worry she'll be fine.” prim reassures them with the wave of her hand. “go on back to your duties.”
Cautiously the two begin to walk away leaving the two women in the hall.
“let's head back to our temporary office, I need to fix this.” Ying states and prim nods following after her.
Back in their shared office Ying stands in front of a wall mirror with a small tool as she begins probing her mechanical eye for imperfections and where it had been knocked loose.
“argh! I don't see how you can do that!” Prim speaks out loud grimacing as her partner continues to poke at her own eye. “I freak out with things even come close to my eyes.”
“Well you do have both your real eyes still.” Ying answers as she continues to fix her eye. “besides you get used to it after having it for so long.”
“yeah… I keep forgetting you used to live here.” prim replies. “I guess that's good for you start going blind.”
“that and family military benefits.” Ying adds and hears a slight click and pulls the tool away and blinks as her focus restores into perfect vision. “There we go, much better.”
“Good I was sure I would have to leave the room this time.” prim sighs.
“maybe next time you can do it for me.” Ying teases.
“Ewww! No!”
“just a thought. Could come in handy out in the field.” the brunette shrugs her shoulders as she walks to her desk.
“then have fun being blind for the rest of that mission.” prim glares.
A few minutes pass and the room is filled with the sounds of the drawer being opened as Ying packs away her repair tools. A thought emerges in the faunus girls head and a large grin spreads across her face that goes unnoticed by the other.
“neat little tool kit you have there by the way.”
“thank you, it's a newer one, needed something that cod travel with me.” Ying replies.
“ you're getting pretty good at fixing it yourself huh?”
“for the majority yes.”
“can you change the settings? You know make it stronger adjust stuff?” prim asks.
“well there is a night vision setting that I can activate, you've seen me use that one before.” Ying looks up at her friend curiously. “But I suppose I could tamper with them if I needed to.”
“and a thermal imaging?”
“....yes?” the other asks now raising an eyebrow.
“what about x-ray? Is that possible?” the cat girl's eyes light up.
“x-ray?why would I need- Prim no!” Ying yells out as she jumps to her feet slamming her hands on her desk. Her face turning red.
“Oh come on. That would help-”
“I'm not doing that!”
“But your face says other wise.” prim smirks.
“I-i well that is out of the question!”
“you know you want to try it now.~” she grins at her friend’s increasing blush.
“I'm serious Prim, that is not going to happen!”
-knock knock-
Both girls stop and stare at the slightly ajar door that had left open. There in the doorway stood the man himself looking at them curiously.
“Am I interrupting something?” he asks looking between the two.
“Oh no nothing important.” prim grins happily sitting on her desk.
“is there something we can help you with general?” Ying asks holding her hands in front of her in a polite manner.
“I was informed that you were accidentally injured and wanted to check on your status when I heard a rather concerning argument echoing from this doorway.” he replies.
“Oh that? Nothing to worry about.” prim half laughs.
“sorry if we caused any disturbance.” Ying apologies.
“not at all, how is your eye Ms. Hua? My men said you were left holding it. It left me concerned.”
“aww he was concerned.” prim teases looking at Ying only to receive a short glare in return.
“everything is alright see, everything operating as it should.” Ying smiles as she turns back to Ironwood.
“That's wonderful to hear.” the general replies. “you know as a temporary teacher you do fall under the benefits for an upgrade if you so choose.”
“Oh I don't really have need for an upgrade just yet, not while this one still works.” she continues to smile.
“then perhaps I can upgrade your in another way.”
“e-excuse me?” Ying blushes as the general bends down her face level.
“I couldn't help but overhear your conversation.” he states getting closer. “my men say you've been spying on me, may I ask why?”
Shocked Ying moves to look around the general to Prim.
“Don't look at her Hua. Look at me, I'm waiting for an answer.”
“I uh…” she feels her cheeks heat up, embarrassed and nervous by how close he is.
“would you like to know the answer you've been seeking?”
Ying falls silent, unable to speak as her heart rate increases.
“Well Ms. Hua?”
“S-sir…”
“Ms. Hua?...... Hua?..... Ying?.... Ying?.... Ying!”
“Sir!” Ying suddenly sits up with a jolt and confused she looks around to see Prim, Ironwood and the two soldiers staring at her wide eyed. “huh? Ooww….” she quickly holds her head with her hand.
“easy Ms. Hua, that was a rather nasty hit you endured.” Ironwood states and that's when she realizes she's sitting in an infirmary bed.
“man that door knocked you clean out.” Prim states.
“the door…”
“We’re sorry Ms. Hua, we didn't know you were standing on the other side.” one of the soldiers apologizes.
“I'll notify the doctor you're awake, aside from the bump on the head and a small optical realignment, you seem to be just fine.” Ironwood quickly states and he and two soldiers quickly leave the area.
Ying can't help but notice wouldn't look her in the eyes when he spoke and was rather quick to leave. She turns to Prim who was grinning ear to ear.
“what are smiling about?”
“see how fast he left?” Prim continues to grin. “I think he was embarrassed.~”
“why? Ying asks curiously.
“because of what he heard.” the faunus girl grins. “did you know you talk in your sleep?”
“what? I do not!” Ying suddenly feels her face warm up.
“Sir, oh Ironwood sir~” prim mimics her friend’s voice. “having a good dream there were you?”
“Oh god….” Ying buries her face in her pillow.
“other was great, he kept clearing his throat and looking away.” Prim laughs.
“please stop.” Ying groans.
“so now we totally need to see-”
“prim…. I'll spray you with water if you continue.”
“what?! Don't you dare!” the pink haired faunus hisses jumping out of her seat.
“I can and I will.”Ying glares.
“...... fine but once you feel better I have another plan.” Prim crosses her arms.
“nurse can I have some water?”
“ah! I was kidding!” Prim yells as she runs out of the infirmary.
