-Raven Pov-

(y/n) sits on his bed, angrily glaring at the cuts Arlan was able to inflict on him, as if he's willing them to shut all by himself. I sigh when I see this, and then sit down next to him with a cotton swab and several stitches. I gesture to them, asking for permission to work on them, and then he simply nods. As I start to work on them, he winces with pain a few times, and then drops his gaze to the floor. " Thanks Rave," he mutters, silently enough that only I can hear him. I tell him it wasn't a problem, and then Summer and Qrow come into the dorm.

I chuckle slightly when I see Qrow rubbing his bruised jaw, and he and Summer seem to be in the middle a conversation. " I just don't get why she got so mad when I said she was cute when angry," says my brother, clearly referring to Morrigan. " Why does she have to be so difficult about everything?"

" Someone has a crush," (y/n) says, looking up and Qrow. This makes Qrow angrily deny it, and then he begins a rant about how he can't stand her, until (y/n) cuts him off. " Dude, you literally called 'dibs' on her the first day we met her, and then she's been the only thing you talk about these days."

Qrow mutters something under his breath, and then Summer sees (y/n) bleeding and then she dashes over to him. " Are you okay," she asks, and doesn't even give (y/n) a chance to respond before she begins dashing around him and seeing all of his injuries, being more concerned than the situation calls for right now. It's just some cuts and bruises.

When (y/n) assures her that he's fine, she then begins to switch gears, talking quickly, and both (y/n) and I barely manage to keep up with her. " So, why do you and Arlan fight so much? Do the two of you know each other? Which one of you is stronger?" Dozens more questions are thrown in after this, but they all are mostly her first three questions rephrased.

" I don't really want to talk about it Summer," he says, and I know why right away. It can't be easy for him to explain to people his true heritage, especially not Summer. She'd be very supportive of him, but would probably end up revealing it to someone by complete accident. " I am stronger than him though," says (y/n).

When he says he doesn't want to talk about, he glances over at me, pleading with his eyes. I know what he wants, and so I nod at him to let him know his secret will be safe with me. Summer picks up on the gesture, and so she turns to me instead, and begins to ask me all the same questions she asked (y/n). Under normal circumstances, I could find this amusing, but this time I simply shake my head.

" (y/n) trusted me not to tell anybody," I say to her simply. " I don't want to be betray his confidence. If he doesn't want to tell anybody, or talk about it, you and I have to respect that."

-Summer Pov-

When Raven says that, I tell them I understand, and then I walk out of the room. Closing the door behind me, I begin to dash out of the school. I can't help but feel a little bit hurt. I was the first friend (y/n) made since getting here, and I'm his partner. How come he trusts Raven more than me?

I eventually make it to the one of the courtyards, and I see Qrow sitting under a tree and drinking. He seems bothered about something, and so I sit down next to him. " You okay," I ask him. " I didn't notice you leave the dorm."

He smirks when I say this. " I got tired of watching (y/n) and Raven make googly-eyes at each other." I want to be able to laugh at his joke, since the way he says it is hysterical. However, the thought of (y/n) and Raven looking at each other lovingly stings, especially with the knowledge that they don't trust me.

" She doesn't really like him does she," I ask, doing my best to keep my voice neutral. Qrow laughs when I say this, a little bit too drunk to pick up on the true reason I'm asking, that being the crush I also have on (y/n).

" Well, Raven is crazy about him. She actually laughs at some of his jokes, pays more attention to him than the rest of us combined, and smiles more when he's around. On top of that, he's the only person I have seen call her 'Rave' without getting drop-kicked. She'd deny if it you said anything, but I would give up drinking for the rest of my life if it turned out she had no romantic feelings for him whatsoever. "

I feel the tears prick my eyes when he says this. Qrow would never make a bet like this unless he was absolutely certain he was going to win, and on top of that, Qrow knew Raven better than anybody. Hearing this from him is almost as reliable as hearing it from Raven, and as he pointed out, probably more since Raven would deny it.

" Hey, you okay," he asks, and then I notice the tears dripping from my eyes. " Dumb question." He hesitates for a few moments, before he hugs me. Eventually, I pull away and then pout as I look at the sun.

" You'll find someone," he promises. " I know it can't be helpful to hear, but there are plenty of fish in the sea."

I nod when he says this, pretending to agree with that point. However, it doesn't help me at all. No matter how many fish there are in the sea, I only want one. (y/n) (l/n)
