The Child of Omens Part 2: RWBY x Male Reader

Chapter 27: Cat's Curiosity

Down in the bustling markets of the city of Vacuo. Pyrrha and Blake are looking through the many markets that cover the large city. Both were choosing to wear more casual clothing as not to draw much attention to themselves and so that they could have a chance to relax. However, as they continue to look at all the different items and trinkets the market stalls sell, something seems to catch Dante's attention.

Dante(mental): "Oh, oh, kid-damn-Pyrrha?"

Pyrrha(mental): "Dante. What have I told you about names? We're all adults. Also, watch that language. Now, what is it?" Not seeming to lose her attention to the items in the stall in front of her.

Dante(mental): "Sorry, mam. Anyways, that girl, Blake, seems skittish. She keeps trying to talk to you, but she then backs off, like she's afraid. Maybe you could..I don't know, break the ice?"

Looking over towards Blake, Pyrrha notices that the cat Faunus is a lot further from her than she'd have thought. Moving over to the stall of items that Balke is at, she notices that Blakes's heartrate had just shot up through her enhanced senses due to her demonic power.

Pyrrha: "Blake? You seem a bit off. Is something the matter?"

Blake: "Huh! Me? No, I'm doing just fine."

Dante(mental): "Wow. I don't need demonic senses to know that was a lie."

Pyrrha: "Here. There's a bench over here. I could use the rest; my legs are getting a bit sore from all this walking."

The two head over to a small open bench, taking a seat. Pyrrha can now visibly see that something is bothering Blake. While Pyrrha sat in a relaxed position, Blake sat as though something was going to attack her and she needed to get up and go in the other direction.

Pyrrha: "Uhm. Blake?"

Blake: "Yes?"

Pyrrha: "I wanted to know why you asked me to come with you today? Now, I don't mind spending the day with you, and I like it. But, I have to wonder. Why not ask your other team members?" 

Blake: "Well, Ruby is having a discussion with Yang, and Weiss went to ask Falke something. I kind of thought, since you didn't have anything to do today either, we could spend it walking around the city." Blake was calming down as she spoke.

Pyrrha: "But that's isn't the main reason you wanted me with you today, was it?"

Blake: "Um. Well...no. Pyrrha? What was it like...meeting Falke for the first time? Did you develop feelings for him as soon as you saw him?" The question caught Pyrrha off guard.

Pyrrha: "Well, to be honest. I didn't think much of him, and he had a particular circumstance where he was the son of a Branwen.  A hazardous name in Mistral, but he didn't display the characteristics of the clan's members. He had an amazing semblance, but he seemed like a regular person to me besides those things. But it was the conversations we had that drew me towards him. Even as a child, he was outgoing and thrill-seeking. He had so much excitement in his early youth. That made my years as a tournament champion seem...boring. Oh! But you should have seen his eyes when I told him about my life. The wonder and awe in them were almost child-like. It was as though I told him there was such a thing as the outside world. I guess you could say the way he treated me made me fall for him. Now, I never really liked myself being idolized for my status, but the way he paid attention to me. It made me feel like I wasn't the center of the world but that I was the center of HIS world. He gave me so much adoration not because of the champion I was but because of the person I was."

Blake: "Wow. It seems like you two were a match right off the bat."

Dante(mental): "You could say that again."
