Team ups

"Really you made this?! but why is it so big then? wouldn't it be better if it's smaller and easier to store?" ruby hit alex with a few more high energy questions but at a much more manageable pace this time showing her adaptability. alex decided to humor her and placed his sword flat on the ground. this seemed to confuse ruby as she watched him do this with a slightly tilted head from confusion. "now try to pick it up." he said with a mischievous grin as she reached for the weapon.

Alex got a kick watching ruby as she tried her hardest to pick up his weapon in an almost cartoonish fashion before falling down panting. alex pulled her up from the ground easily before doing the same with his weapon that he clipped onto his back. "how heavy is that thing? is that why its so big? can we be friends? , please?" she asked another series of questions but with a big one at the end. "one thousand twenty seven point two pounds , yes and i would love it if you were my first friend." alex said with a bright smile.

"Yay friends?!" if ruby was vibrant before now she was practically glowing as she exclaimed and tried to tackle hug alex and failing miserably. "hugs are nice and all but we maybe might need to stash our gear before heading to the auditorium." alex said with a smile. "i'm guessing you know where to go then?" a immature male voice asked from nearby surprising alex that he didn't detect this person previously. ruby reluctantly let go of alex but definitely seemed to have noticed his chiseled physique as she kept touching his abs. ignoring ruby alex looked at the source of the voice and recognizes the owner as the boy who threw up after the transport landed.

"Didn't you throw up on the plane?" alex and ruby both asked at the same time before looking at each other with smiles "jinx!" they exclaimed together before laughing. alex and ruby became familiar with the boy named jaune after that as alastair and ruby both explain how students have designated lockers for their stuff. alex also explained how first years like them all slept in the auditorium for the first night before getting sorted into teams for dorms the next.

The freshman locker room was pretty easy to find since their scrolls had a map showing them where to go that jaune seemed to have missed somehow. alex found an empty locker and synced it to his scroll before leaving solar flare and his luggage included his broken down armor and closing it up. alex was honestly impressed at how sturdy these lockers were since his held his half ton weapon no problem. once ruby and jaune stored away their stuff as well the three followed the map to the auditorium that was filled with people at which point jaune split from them to try and find a spot.

A blonde yelled out to ruby from about six meters into the crowd of freshmen and ruby led alex over. "how could you leave me alone like that? i didn't even know what to do and then i tripped over some girls luggage and exploded." ruby started narrating but the blonde girl called yang apparently cut her off. "having a meltdown already huh?" she joked but alex clarified "no she means it quite literally as she sneezed due to some dust in the air and that caused an explosion , albeit a small one." he said honestly.

Yang turned to look at alex since he spoke and her attitude changed immediately to a flirty one. "oh why hello there handsome i'm rubies sister yang and I'd LOVE to get you alone." she said while emphasizing her assets and the word love. alex looked between ruby who was looking embarrassed but curious at him and yang who was being very straight forward. "as tempting an offer as that is i still need to find a spot to sleep and that would probably be kinda hard with you feeling me up constantly, none the less it was a pleasure to meet you." he said politely before leaving into the crowd.

"Why'd you thirst up alex like that yang?!" ruby confronted her sister angrily. "you sure do know how to pick 'em sis that guy was a hunk." yang teased with a smile. ruby blushed "it's not like that yet!" she said defensively. yang seemed to have noticed something and smiled widely "yet huh? guess i should hurry up and claim him all to myself then." she teased the furiously blushing ruby. meanwhile alex was looking for a decent place to sleep but was having trouble until he found a spot with a person that had no one within arms length , next to the white haired girl.
