The sun bathed the city of Vale in a warm golden glow, illuminating the vibrant streets as they bustled with excitement and anticipation for the upcoming Vytal Festival. Red, yellow, and green streamers danced in the gentle breeze, adding a festive touch to every corner. Amidst the lively atmosphere was you. Wandering through the streets, your eyes wide with wonder as you soaked in the breathtaking scenery.

It was a good distraction. After the eventful morning you had.

Flashback~

In the cozy embrace of the morning light, you found yourself peacefully nestled in bed beside Blake. Her gentle breathing and the warmth of her body against yours created a sense of tranquility that washed away any remnants of the previous day's chaos. The events leading up to this moment were still fresh in your mind, but for now, you allowed yourself to simply enjoy the blissful respite.

As you slowly stirred awake, you couldn't help but admire the peaceful expression on Blake's face. Her eyes were closed, her long lashes casting delicate shadows on her cheeks. The soft rays of sunlight filtering through the curtains danced across her features, highlighting her beauty in a way that made your heart skip a beat.

Careful not to disturb her, you shifted slightly.

Only to find yourself stuck.

(Y/n): Why am I stuck?

You slowly moved your head to look behind yourself to see the object that hindered your movement to see Yang. Your eyes widened and a blush crept up on your face as your whole body tried to wiggle away from the middle of the two. This however was a mistake as the two's bodies also reacted, their arms reaching out and grabbing onto any body part above your torso.

As your body squirmed in an attempt to free yourself from the rather compromising position, Yang and Blake's grip tightened, their hands unintentionally grazing over your skin. The touch sent a jolt of electricity through your body, igniting a mix of embarrassment and desire that made your face burn even hotter.

(Y/n): No No No! That keyblade stays down!

You shouted to yourself in your head.

Blake's eyes fluttered open, her gaze shifting from confusion to realization as she took in the sight before her. A faint blush colored her cheeks, mirroring your own embarrassment. She quickly withdrew her hand, releasing you from her grasp.

Blake: Sorry about that.

She mumbled, her voice laced with a mixture of amusement and sheepishness.

Yang, who had woken up as well, seemed to find the situation more entertaining than embarrassing. A mischievous smile played on her lips as she leaned in and pulled you closer. Slightly pulling you away from Blake

Yang: Caught in a sticky situation, huh?~

She teased, her voice dripping with amusement.

(Y/n): I need an adult.

You say as your pupils shrunk and your body tries to free itself from her grasp. This however tightened her hold.

Yang: I am an adult~

She says lustfully as she blows into your ear, sending shivers down your spine.

(Y/n): No you're not!

The event taking place made Blake's cheeks flushed even deeper as she glanced between you and Yang, a mixture of uncertainty and curiosity in her eyes.

Blake: Um, I suppose we could... stay in bed a little longer.

This sentence caused you to freeze in fear and Yang to smile widely.

(Y/n): Blake!

You say with disbelief in your voice at the fact that she's going along with taking you hostage in bed for a few more minutes. Suddenly two hands are place on Yang. One on her shoulder and another on her head. A shadow covered Yang's eyes as you look in confusion which then turns into a look of fear as you see shining icy blue eyes and silver eyes looking down at the two of you.

Yang: ...What...?

Yang asked with an emotionless voice.

Ruby: Why do you have those things pressed against (Y/n)'s body.

Ruby asked while looking at her older sister's superior assets.

Weiss: And why aren't you resisting (Y/n)?

Weiss asks with a hint of venom in her tone.

(Y/n): I've been trying! She's really strong!

Yang, for some reason, tightened her hold on you causing you to suffocate.

(Y/n): Bythemasterofmasters!

You blurted out in a panic as Yang's attention was now on Weiss.

Yang: Hey ice queen. Mind removing your hand from my head...?

She says as her eyes go from their normal lilac colour to red.

Weiss: Only if you let go of the keyblade wielder.

Blake looked on at the scene. She swore the air had become a mixture of fire and ice due to the two's aura while you were squirming to get free.

Yang: You're going to lose that hand in a minute if you don't retract it Weiss.

Blake stares at you and sweat drops.

Blake: Yang...

Weiss: Is that a challenge Xiao Long.

Weiss asked as Yang smirked having completely ignored Blake.

Blake: Yang...

Yang: You betcha. Now remove. The. Hand.

Blake: Yang!

Yang looked at Blake finally.

Yang: What?!

Yang asked in an angry tone.

Blake: (Y/n)'s dying.

Yang calmed down almost immediately and looked at your condition to see you foaming at the mouth and your eyes gone dull.

Yang: ....AHHHH! (Y/n) are you okay?! Speak to me!

Ruby was in a panic as she separates you from Yang, pushing her sister aside with strength that  surprised the W and B of the team.

Ruby: Yang! He's our only hope against the heartless and you broke him!

The next hour consisted of cold water getting thrown on you, light slapping and even a suggestion from Yang to kiss you awake.

Present~

You shiver at the memory.

(Y/n): The girls at that academy are gonna kill
me! The only nice one I've met is Velvet. But I can't get close to her on the fact that her leader is a tomboy, hourglass, Kissaholic version of Yang!

As you strolled along, you couldn't help but notice the laughter echoing all around him and the energy emanating through the air.

(Y/n): Whoa. People really are taking this upcoming festival seriously. They all seem happy too. Might explain why I haven't seen any heartless around lately.

Lost in his thoughts, the boy's attention was suddenly drawn to a small commotion down a nearby alley. Curiosity piqued, he veered off the main street and cautiously made his way towards the source of the disturbance. As he turned the corner, his eyes widened in surprise and concern.

There, huddled in a corner, was a young girl with multi-coloured hair with eyes that matched her hair colour. She appeared to be looking down at something as she had something in her right hand.

Without a second thought, the boy approached her.

(Y/n): Hey there, are you okay?

Startled by the sudden appearance of the boy. She looks at him as he looks down at her.

(Y/n): The name's (Y/n). How about you?

The girl said nothing as she reached into her pocket and pulled out her scroll. She began typing and then showed you the screen. Squinting at the screen, his eyes open up slightly as he looks at her again.

(Y/n): Neo huh? That's an interesting name.

You say with a smile at the end as you then jump up onto a dumpster and dangle your legs off the side.

(Y/n): So Neo. What's a girl like you doing in a alley like this?

Neo looks at you then looks at her ground. You follow her gaze to see a white, pink and brown substance on the ground. You then scan her hands to see she had a cone in her right hand.

(Y/n): Oh, ice cream, huh? Looks like you dropped it. That's a bummer.

You said sympathetically, noticing the disappointment in Neo's eyes. Without thinking, you reached into your pocket and pulled out a handkerchief, offering it to her.

(Y/n): Here, you can use this to clean yourself up. It's the least I can do.

Neo blinked in surprise, her eyes widening slightly as she looked at the handkerchief and then at you. Slowly, she took it from your outstretched hand, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips.

Neo (via scroll): Thank you.

You smiled warmly, finally seeing something other than her name from her Scroll and feeling a sense of connection with the quiet, mysterious girl.

(Y/n): No problem. It's always nice to help out a friend, even if we've just met.

Neo tilted her head slightly, her eyes seeming to study you as she typed on her scroll again.

Neo (via scroll): Friends?

You nodded, a genuine smile gracing your features.

(Y/n): Yeah, friends. Why not? Everyone deserves a friend, right?

Neo's expression softened, a flicker of gratitude crossing her eyes. She typed on her scroll once more, her message appearing on the screen.

Neo (via scroll): Thank you, (Y/n).

You chuckled, patting Neo on the shoulder gently.

(Y/n): No need to thank me, Neo. Just doing what friends do. Now, what do you say we grab another ice cream? My treat this time.

Neo's eyes widened with surprise, her lips parting slightly. It was as if she couldn't believe what she was hearing. But slowly, a smile spread across her face, lighting up her features in a way you had never seen before.

Neo (via scroll): I'd like that.

And with that, the two of you walked out of the alley, the sounds of laughter and music guiding you towards the sweet delights of the Vytal Festival.

(Y/n): You part of a team from any of the visiting kingdoms Neo?

Neo looks at you and shook her head. Her fingers once again dance on her scroll as she shows it to you.

Neo (Via scroll): Why do you ask?

You put your hands at the back of your head and lean back slightly.

(Y/n): No particular reason. It's just that you stand out pretty well, like my friends at Beacon. They're also a colourful bunch, in terms of clothing and style that is.

Neo looked at you curiously, her eyes searching your face for any signs of deception. After a moment, she seemed to relax, a small smile playing on her lips.

Neo (via scroll): I see. Well, I suppose you could say I have a... unique style.

You chuckled, nodding in agreement.

(Y/n): Unique is definitely one way to describe it. But hey, that's what makes you stand out, right? It's always good to express yourself and be true to who you are.

Neo's smile widened, and she tapped on her scroll once more.

Neo (via scroll): Thank you, (Y/n). I've never really had someone say that to me before.

You shrugged, feeling a sense of kinship with the girl.

(Y/n): Well, everyone deserves to be appreciated for who they are. And I can tell you've got something special about you, Neo.

Neo's smile just grows wider as she walks by your side. As the two of you continued to walk through the the streets of Vale. You saw a store that was broken into.

(Y/n): Whoa. What happened?

You asked an officer on the scene.

Officer: Another dust robbery. The fourth one this month.

You hum as you look at the giant hole in the glass. Suddenly you feel a tug at your shirt as you looked to see Neo looking at you with a pouty face.

(Y/n): Don't worry, I was just curious. The store's just around the corner yeah?

Neo nods as started tugging at you harder, causing you to follow her.

(Y/n): Good luck with your investigation officer!

You shout out to the man in blue who watches you both disappear around a corner.

Officer: Kids..

He says as he shook his head.

Finally, arriving at the ice cream store. You wait in line. As you waited patiently in line, you couldn't help but notice Neo's excitement growing. She seemed to be practically bouncing on her feet, her eyes scanning the colorful array of ice cream flavors displayed behind the counter. The sweet scent of freshly made waffle cones wafted through the air, making your mouth water in anticipation.

Finally, it was your turn to order. The cheerful employee behind the counter greeted you with a smile.

Employee: Hello! What can I get for you today?

You glanced at Neo, who was practically beaming with anticipation. You couldn't help but smile back at her excitement before turning your attention back to the employee.

(Y/n): I'll have a chocolate sundae with extra sprinkles, please. And what would you like, Neo?

Neo tapped on her scroll, a mischievous glint in her eye. She then held up her scroll to show the employee her order.

Neo (via scroll): Neapolitan!

The employee chuckled, clearly amused by Neo's choice.

Employee: Alright then, one Neapolitan ice cream coming right up!

As the employee got to work on your orders, you glanced at Neo.

(Y/n): Huh...now that I look at her. She does have the colour scheme of Neapolitan ice cream.

You thought to yourself.

A few moments later, the employee placed your sundae and Neo's ice cream on the counter. The sundae was a work of art, with a generous scoop of chocolate ice cream, drizzled with hot fudge, and topped with a mountain of rainbow sprinkles. It was a sight to behold.

(Y/n): Wow, they really went all out with this sundae. It looks amazing.

You said, admiring the dessert before you. Neo's Neapolitan ice cream, on the other hand, was huge! It was bigger than the one you saw in the alley even if it was melted.

(Y/n): I-I'm guessing she's a regular, huh?

You say to the employee.

Employee: Oh yeah. Miss Politan here always graces us with her presence.

(Y/n): Okay come on it's Neo Politan? The way her colours match the ice cream too! She's a ice cream fanatic. What's next she'll go through an emo phase and be called black liquorice?!

As you savored the creamy sweetness of your sundae, you couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment. The chaotic events of the morning were now a distant memory, replaced by the joy of newfound friendship and the simple pleasure of indulging in a sweet treat.

You glanced at Neo, who was happily enjoying her Neapolitan ice cream. Her eyes were bright, and her smile was infectious.

(Y/n): Hmm....I wonder why she can't speak...? I'm sure it must be a sensitive matter so I'll leave it be for now.

Suddenly you get a message on your scroll and read it. It's from Blake.

Blake
Hey. Can we talk? I separated from the girls and need someone I know I can trust and can talk to.

You stand up straight which gets the attention of Neo.

(Y/n)
Uhh...sure? Where do you want to meet?

You look at Neo.

(Y/n): Hey. Sorry Neo but I gotta skedaddle. Glad to have met you!

You were about to go however she grabs your hand which causes you to stop and look at her. She holds your hand with both of her hands as she places something in your palm. She holds up her scroll showing a message.

Neo (via scroll): Text me. This was fun and I'd like to see you again.

You smile and nod before looking at your hand and seeing a tiny piece of paper which contained her number, so you guessed anyway.

With a final wave, you leave the ice cream shop and head off to go see Blake. Hopefully this talk isn't too serious.
