After Ind- Gol woke up from his two-day-long coma, I've been showing him around the Academy and getting him accustomed to his new environment. He mentioned how it reminded him so much of Beacon, the castle aesthetic was no doubt the cause of this. I giggled at him as he thought that as we continue walking. I've been explaining to him that even though the Ponies are close by I've only seen a few that came over. This lead to my duel with Blueblood, which I groaned as I remembered it. He had burst out in laughter at how I won the duel, mentioning how he wish he could've seen Blueblood’s face when I headbutted him. We finally arrived at my room, which I haven't been into for the passed two days and it was quite messy, reeking of rum as well. Mavis must've missed a few things when she restored my room.

“Huh, little messy here isn't it?” He jokingly asked. I blushed a bit at the sight and Gol pointing that out. “You look cute when you blush, you know that?” He asked me, smiling at me as he did, caressing my hand with his.

“I would've punched you if you were anyone else.” I pointed out, making him laugh. He entered the room and picked up a few of the scattered book laying around, placing them down on top of a tilted shelf before correctly lining the shelf. I watched him do this and remembered his state of clothing. I blushed a bit more before adding. “Umm, do you want a shirt or something?” He chuckled before jokingly flexing.

“Didn't think you wanted to cover this up.” He said teasingly with another flex of his arms. I let out a shaky sigh as I saw this but shook my head.

“I don't know, maybe?” I asked as I looked over to my wall of pictures.

“I'm fine without a shirt for now, I don't know why but I don't like the idea of wearing a shirt right now.” He said to me before he scratched his back. I looked back at him with the blush still. I didn't say anything as I picked up one of my books. With his help I was able to get the rest of my room cleaned and when I put away the last of my books, I noticed Gol looking at the open flask by the bedside table.

“That was yours… had it with me all this time.” I told him, looking down at the floor after that. He picked it up before shaking his head and putting back down.

“I rather not have to vomit out my own liver again.” Gol muttered as he placed the flask back down. I gave him an odd disgusted look but didn't push that subject due to reasons. I walked over behind him and wrapped my arms around him as i placed my head on his ghoulishly pale back. He chuckled at this but said nothing, simply letting me have this moment. He somehow managed to turn himself around in my arms despite the tight embrace. He planted a kiss on the top of my head, eliciting an appreciative hum from me as a result. I yelped in surprise when I felt him pull me down to my bed. We both let out a laugh soon after we flopped down to the bed, holding each other close in a loving embrace. Every now and again, Gol planted more kisses atop my head. I smiled at this as the two of us laid that, my head on his chest hearing his heart. “It's like I've died and gone to heaven.” He whispered, though it was a little muffled by my hair. I laughed at this before nodding.

“Yeah…” I whispered back. We stayed like this for what felt like hours and each moment was absolute bliss, a feeling I'd never thought I'd ever feel in such a way.

“Not that I don't like laying here with you… but you want to go do something?” Gol asked me, once again brushing my hair. “I've been out for two days, I've got a lot of energy to spend in me.” I heard him say.

“If you want, what do you want to do?” I asked him as I looked up at him. He shrugged at this before suggesting.

“You could introduce me to your friends.” He suggested to me. I hummed, nuzzling into his chest as I thought about it.

“Yeah, we can do that… but are you going to be shirtless when we meet them?” I asked him. He thought about it before finally speaking up.

“You have a jacket my size?” He asked me. Much to my disappointment I had to get up away from Gol to go look through my closet. I found a large black jacket that I gotten some time ago that is was way too big for me, maybe even for him. I pulled it out and showed it to him.

“Does this work?” I asked him. He nodded with a smile before I handed it over to him, allowing him to put it on. It fit perfectly on him, making me think that maybe it was a gift for him. With each sleeve he put on, I let out a whine as he covered himself up which earned a chuckle from him. He zipped the jacket up and nodded at me. I walked back up to him and he was quick to wrap me with his arms. I giggled happily, still finding it weird hearing myself like this after being trained to be cold-hearted Huntress by Raven.

“Shall we go?” I asked him with a smile.

“Whenever you are, babe.” He said, planting another kiss on the top of my head. I smiled at this as the two of us left my room and down the halls. We walked down the halls hand in hand, though the jacket concealed most of his pale skin, it did nothing to hide his pale face and pitch black eyes from passers by. Some even reach for their weapons instinctively, only for me to growl at them threateningly. Luckily I was known to be quite the fighter and when I threatened those that raised their weapons, they immediately lowered them and hurried along. Gol didn't mind the stares, though he has mentioned that he'll need to get used to it. We soon found ourselves by the library, a place I rarely hang around but Gol looked at in interest. As we entered we heard yelling.

“No! The bookshelves aren’t places you can nap you damn pigeon!” the voice of Iilah yelled up at someone. I wonder who?

“I’m no damn pigeon!” another voice that I knew yelled back. Oh, it’s Skyler. Both Gol and I saw Skyler was up on one of the bookshelves with Iilah on the ground yelling at her about sleeping on top of the bookshelf.

“Wow, this place is big.” Gol awed at the seemingly endless lines of bookshelves. Iilah took notice at the both of us, eyeing Gol as he pulled out random book and looked at cover before putting it back. “These books seem ancient yet they look absolutely new.” He marveled at the books.

“Thank you.” Iilah said with a smile on her face. “It’s nice to see someone that cares about books like I do.”

“Egghead~” Skyler said on top of the bookshelf. Iilah’s smile disappeared as she pointed at the bird Faunus.

“I swear, I’ll come up there and pluck every feather from your wings and make a cloak out it of it if you don’t come down!” Iilah threatened. We all heard a snort coming from nearby as Qo seemed to wake up from a nap.

“Huh? What?” she asked as she looked around sleepily before yawning. When Gol looked over to Qo, he was quick to do a double take. He looked at me then at Qo before back at me.

“Umm, am I missing something here?” He asked me, confused as to how and why Qo resembled me so much. Talking about Qo I noticed her laying her head back down on the table and sleeping again.

“Remember I was saying there was two of me? A second Ruby?” I asked him. Gol nodded as I continued. “That’s Qo, Ruby’s daughter… kinda.”

“Judging by the kinda, I'm going to take a guess that it's a complicated story.” He said, focusing his gaze solely on me before adding. “I'll figure out the story behind her in my own time.” He said with a smile. Iilah gave Gol curious glances, having never gotten a good look of him during our initial encounter. I gave her an odd look which made her look away.

“If you’re wondering that’s Iilah, the oldest being in this castle.” I said to Gol, earning a frown from the woman in question.

“Huh… I wouldn't have guessed.” Gol said with an arched brow. He walked over Qo with a slight frown before gently raising her head up, revealing that she was using an open book to rest her head and the page that it was open on was covered in drool. “Really…” He said in slight disgust. As he did this Qo opened her eyes again.

“Hmm? Five more minutes…” she said with a yawn.

“Library's aren't for napping.” Gol said to the groaning Qo, he held the book in a way that allowed the pages to dry.

“Oh Qo, come on!” Iilah said as she took the book Gol had and carried it away.

“Sorry~” Qo said before looking at Gol. “Your eyes are cool~”

“Uhh, thanks I guess?” He said questioningly. He soon walked back to me before Qo could mutter something else in her tired state. Qo blinked a few times before passing out for a third time, muttering something about sheep. As we stared we saw some small bolts of electricity course through her hair.

“That’s her semblance by the way, she can store and control electricity.” I informed Gol. He nodded at this before saying.

“Shall we continue the tour, love?” He asked, holding his arm out for me to wrap mind around. I smiled at this as we left the library and continued on. Again there were more stares but none tried to pull their blades, seems word spread about Gol as we walked past. Along the way, we passed by many classrooms that most of which were occupied.

Our walk was somewhat uneventful, we did get to see Sylph walk out from a hidden passageway. Gol and I watched as the fox Dust grimm walked away as if nothing happened. I knew there were passageways hidden in the Academy but seeing them in use is still an odd sight, even odder still when it’s Sylph using them. After our moment of confusion, we stopped by the training hall used for sparring matches and judging by the sounds that were muffled through the door, there was a match in progress. We entered and saw Tak sparring against my sister.

“Yang actually cut her hair?” Gol asked baffled at the sight of the short-haired Yang.

“Yes, like there’s two of me, there’s two of Yang as well but… well both of us have very big differences.” I told Gol. He nodded as he watched Tak effortlessly dodge Yang's attacks, eliciting cheers from Weiss. Tak had his weapon with him, the old handmade cleaver, but he seemed to be doing well without using it. Tak surprised Yang when he ducked under her powerful swing, the very same that cracked through Gol’s helmet during the fight, and swept Yang off her feet. With a surprised yelp she fell onto the floor with a thud, giving the match to Tak. The latter raised his hands up in victory. Yang grumbled as she got up to a sitting position and looked at Tak.

“Good fight.” she said simply.

“Don't be sour, you're the one that wanted to fight me.” Tak said to her as he crossed his arms. Yang only grumbled out something incoherent. Weiss was quick to run to Tak and congratulate him with a kiss that Tak was eager to return. I smiled a little as I squeezed Gol’s hand a bit. When the two lovers pulled away, Tak smiled at Weiss and said. “Thanks, hun.” He said to her in a loving tone. Weiss smiled at her husband before seeing the two of us.

“Oh, didn’t see you two here.” she said, gaining the attention of Yang. She turned and saw the two of us and stared at Gol. The latter gave everyone a wave of his pale hand. “Who are you?” Weiss asked Gol.

“Gol… Gol Parker.” He answered, introducing himself to all. Everyone looked at each other.

“Parker? The same as Indigo and Blake Parker?” Weiss asked.

“Maybe.” Yang said as she got up. She dusted herself off a bit before looking at me. “What’s up sis?” she asked with a smile.

“Nothing really.” I said with my own smile. Yang seemed to react oddly.

“Oh Oum! She’s smiling! It’s the end of the times!” she joked, only to annoy me. I frowned and grumbled at her about this. Gol nudged a bit to gain my attention and when I looked over to him he was simply smiling at me. I smiled back at him, seeing him smile made me happy.

“You're the one we found.” Tak said to him, gaining everyone's attention. “Two days ago me, Weiss and the other Yang were returning from a simple mission and came across you.” He said, facing towards Gol and allowing Gol to see his dull grey eyes.

“Yes! Now I recognised you… odd you look different.” Weiss said as she looked at Gol. “You feeling alright? It’s been two days since we found you.” Gol nodded at this before saying.

“Thanks for that, I'd most likely be dead by now if it weren't for you.” Gol said to Weiss and Tak, giving them both a nod of his head. The two of them smiled at this as Weiss had Tak’s hand in hers.

“So you two are just wondering or what?” Yang asked the two of us. Gol looked at me, waiting for me to answer my sister's question.

“We been walking around the school, showing Gol around and stopped by here.” I told Yang before looking at Gol. “Which I have to ask, you want to head off or stay?” Gol merely shrugged and smiled before simply answering with.

“Plenty of places to go, not a lot of daylight left. Onwards, love!” Gol exclaimed in a chivalrous tone, no doubt just joking around. I laughed at this as the two of us left, leaving the other three alone.

“Wait… what?” was the last thing I heard from my sister as we left, the sound of confusion in her voice made me giggle. On the way down the halls we ran into Ruby as she had her nose in a notebook and muttering something. She ran into Gol and was knocked over.

“Ahh!” she yelped as she fell back onto the ground. Gol was spooked as well but nevertheless helped her up.

“You really should pay more attention to where you're going.” Gol said before handing Ruby her notebook.

“Sorry! Sorry, I really should…” she said as she got her notebook back. “Ah! It’s upside down and- oh wait that fixes my problem… Thanks!” Ruby said with a bright smile. I cleared my throat to get her attention.

“Ruby, this is Gol, Gol my cheerful kid twin from another version of Remnant.” I explained to him. Ruby smiled at him in the same cheerful way.

“Big difference between the you two, didn't think it be this big.” Gol said with a quiet chuckle as he held me close. Ruby looked at the two of us oddly.

“Is it the hair?” Ruby asked, looking at her bangs as she asked that.

“... sure, it’s your hair.” I said to her. Ruby stared at me before shrugging.

“So what are you two up to?” she asked the two of us. This time I looked at Gol and waited for him to answer this. He rolled his eyes at me before saying.

“She's showing me around the Academy and introducing me to her friends, we'll probably end up outside laying on the grass during the sunset.” He said, explaining to Ruby what we're doing. I looked at him oddly at the mention of laying in the grass. “It's been a long time since I've felt the grass without being… you know, a Grimm.” I gave him a sadden look while Ruby made a confused one.

“What? What about being a Grimm?” She asked.

“It’s a long story.” I told her. She stared at the two of us before saying.

“Yeah, okay… now if you excuse me I have to go get the the forge to do some tune ups.” she said before walking around us and headed down the halls. I turned to looked at Gol before speaking.

“You want to go outside?” I asked him.

“That sounds nice.” He answered with another smile, which in turn made me smile. Hand in hand the two of us headed outside. We crossed the grounds until we saw someone sitting under a tree. From where we stood I saw it was Viri, which Gol saw where I was looking and looked over as well. Wanting to introduce him to the fox faunus, I dragged Gol over to where she sat.

“Viri? Hey Viri.” I said to her, trying to wake her up. Her eyes flutter open as she yawned. She looked around at where she was before at the two of us.

“Hey… what’s up?” she asked as she put her hands on top of her large belly.

“You could've warned me you were going to do that.” Gol said with a little frown as he rolled the shoulder of the arm I had dragged him with.

“I could, but didn’t.” I said before looking at the pregnant Faunus. “Viri, this is Gol, and vise versa.”

“Hi Gol, I would stand up but…” she looked down at herself and back up. “Kinda hard to stand up as is.” Gol nodded and said.

“It fine.” He said before asking. “When are you do?” He asked her.

“In two months…” she said before looking down. “Though with these two acting up, I think sooner.”

“Really?” I asked her. Viri chuckled at this as she rubbed her belly lovingly.

“Yeah, just a feeling I have.” I told them. She looked over at Gol and added. “How’s your tour Gol?” He smiled and looked at me before saying.

“Couldn't be any better.” He answered her. He suddenly scratched his back, something obviously bothering him.

“You okay?” I asked him, worried that’s something’s wrong.

“I'm-I'm not sure.” He said before quickly taking off the jacket I gave him. He reached onto his back, wanting to feel any abnormalities. “Um, that's not right.” He said, feeling something behind his shoulders. I moved around to look where he’s been scratching and saw something was definitely not right. It looked like something was growing and pushing out of his back.

“I think we need to go see Axycia right now.” I told him as I ran some fingers over whatever is under his skin. I felt him tense up at the initial touch, though another feel of the abnormalities had relaxed him.

“That… that feels nice.” He said with sigh. I gave him an odd look but didn’t say anything for a few moments.

“Viri do you have a way to contract your aunt?” I asked her.

“I do…” she said. I waited a few moments before speaking.

“You mind calling her?” I asked.

“In a moment, I have a very nice view right now.” she said. I leaned over and saw her staring at Gol.

“Hey! That’s my boyfriend you’re staring.” I snapped at her, making Gol look a me.

“And you have good taste…” she said before picking up her scroll and started to tap on it.

“You alright?” Gol asked me, no doubt worried from my outburst.

“I’m fine… just wanted to point out to a married woman that it’s not right to look at other people’s partner or close lover.” I said with a frown.

“Ruby and I aren’t married yet, and I’m not here to steal Gol away. I see eye candy so I had to look.” she said without looking up. I frowned at her as I looked at Gol’s back some more.

“How bad does it look?” He asked me, referring to the protrusions on his back.

“I don’t know, from what I felt it seems like something is pushing its way out of you.” I said as I looked at his back some more. I placed a hand on one of them, gently rubbing when I did. Gol immediately let out a blissful sigh. “This doesn’t hurt?” I asked him. He hummed at the touch of my fingers, whatever I was doing was sending him to cloud nine.

“No… it doesn't hurt, it feels…” He stopped before humming appreciatively at my touch. “Nice.” He said. I looked at him oddly before I felt someone nearby. I turned just to see Axycia there.

“Hello~” she greeted us, making me jump a little. “I heard something is up?” In the surprise I had stopped caressing Gol’s back, gaining a groan of disappointment. Axycia looked over at him with an arched brow. “Oh? It’s more what’s up with him.”

“Is he alright?” I asked her. Axycia didn’t say anything as she walked over to him. Getting a closer look she started tapping where the protrusions are at.

“Easy there!” Gol exclaimed suddenly, arching his back from Axycia’s taps.

“Well then, this is happening faster than I thought.” she said as she leaned back. I looked at her, waiting to see if she was going to add something to that but sadly she didn’t.

“What’s happening to him?” I asked her.

“Nothing much, just growing wings.” she said in a nonchalant way. Gol’s eyes widen at mention of this.

“What!?” He exclaimed in shock.

“Wings, you’re growing wings.” Axycia said again with a little frown for having to repeat herself. “Must be due to the Thundermore injection that’s causing this.” She added. Gol was still confused and he shifted his shoulders, moving the protrusions as a result.

“How long will they take to grow out?” I asked her. Axycia tilted her head a bit to think.

“Oh well, a few weeks at most, maybe a month. That’ll also be with the constant pain as the wings slowly push themselves out and stretches the skin in the process.” She said to him. “Or there’s plan B.”

“Plan B?” Gol asked, intrigued to know more of the alternative.

“Plan B is that I can make it that they come right now… but it’s like a bandage.” she explained.

“That… doesn’t sound so bad…” I said to her.

“Yeah, a bandage that feels like he got hit by a freight train going top speeds with rockets and about to hit the sound barrier. So yeah, a bandage.” Axycia said with a smile. Gol’s left eye twitched while his right pupil dilated, he must've been contemplating between slow and agonizing pain or pure unadulterated pain brought to him in instant.

“Plan B sounds better than feeling my skin slowly stretch out day by day.” He said in a low tone. Axycia raised a brow at this before speaking.

“So you want the quick way?” She asked him. He nodded hesitantly at this, giving Axycia his answer. “Alright then.” Axycia said with a shrug before turning Gol around with a snap of her fingers. She soon placed both hands on the protrusions on Gol’s back before they shone a greyish red light. “This might sting.” With that said and no warning given, she gripped the protrusion and yanked back. The sickening sound of flesh tearing open was drowned by Gol’s scream of agony. The wound created by the growth was soon healed, his new appendages rapidly developing with each shine of the greyish red light. The light vanished when his wings were fully matured and feathered with both black and yellow feathers that bore striking resemblance to the wings of a Thundermore. Even when it was done, Gol was still screaming and it was taking all of his willpower to not collapse from the pain. His newly grown wings twitched and spasmed, sometimes even flapping. I quickly kneeled down to him as Axycia pulled away, her hands still glowing with the grayish red light. His wings soon stopped with its erratic movement before setting themselves down onto the ground.

“Regrets!” Was all Gol could say through gritted teeth. At the sight of his wings, I couldn't help but feel them. Upon feeling the feathers on my fingertips, the wing twitched but calmed soon after it did.

“Well you chose plan B, nothing can help you with it know.” Axycia said with a shrug.

“You could be a little helpful…” Viri pointed out, earning a frown from her aunt. Gol, after being quiet for almost a minute, let a groan that brought my attention back to him.

“I prefer… this than slow… agony.” He said as he panted, out of breath. I was by his side as I put one of my hands on top of his, worried he might pass out. “I'm fine… I'm alright, just a sore back and…” He said before his wings moved up and down, though with obvious struggle. “Yeah… that.” He said. His wings, to his surprise, folded up against his back before his right wing draped over me. “I have… no idea how I did that.” He admitted.

“I don’t know either…” I said as I felt his feathers on my body and how soft they are. “Though I’m not complaining.” I added with a smile. He chuckled at this before grasping my hand, gently caressing it as he did. I smiled at this until I heard some movement from Viri. I looked over and saw Axycia helping her up.

“You sure you don’t want me to speed this up for you?” Axycia asked her niece. Viri stared at her and then looked at the two of us then back at her.

“After what I saw, I’ll wait.” she said. Axycia shook her head before looking at the two of us.

“You should go rest some more Gol, after what you just went through you’ll need it.” Axycia said to him. He nodded at this suggestion, the mention of rest sounding pleasing for him right now.

“Yeah, sounds good.” He said, trying to get up only fall down on his knees again. “I'll just… rest here.” He said before laying back onto the grass, the feathers of his wings caressed me as it flopped onto the ground. I chuckled at this as Axycia helped Viri back to the school, probably to her bed. I looked down at Gol before laying myself down beside him. I didn't want to close my eyes, I just wanted to enjoy being with him. I rested my head atop his chest once again like I did in the infirmary. It was unknown to me how long we were out here but it the sun began to set and it meant that I had to get up. I grumbled a bit at the idea of getting up and it took a lot of convincing for me to do so. I then shook Gol awake, earning a groan and a soft slap of his wing.

“Sun’s setting Gol.” I told him as he slowly woke back up.

“Hmm.” He hummed tiredly as he sat up and groaned, rolling his shoulder and his wings spread open before flopping down beside him. He looked at his wings with a frown, trying to make them fold back. Instead of folding, they flapped mightily which sent him back a tumbling a few feet away. “Hurt!” Gol yelled before groaning.

“Careful!” I yelled at him, running over to his side.

“Ow…” He said with a groan as he sat up. As soon as he did his wings folded up against his back. “Seriously?” He asked in annoyance before standing up. I stood up as well and wrapped my arm around his, stopping him from rambling angrily about his new wings. “Sorry.” He apologized to me with a sheepish smile.

“It’s fine Gol.” I said as I looked at his wings. “I like your new wings.” Saying this, his right wing draped over me once again, giving me warmth with its soft feathers.

“Okay that time it was me.” He then admitted. I smiled as I leaned up against him, feeling his wing on me as I did.

“I love it.” I whispered to him. We headed back into the academy while the sun set over the horizon, once we entered it was alright dark out. The halls had little or no students walking around, either in the library or at their rooms or homes. The only sounds that echoed were our footsteps. Gol’s wing was still wrapped around me which I smiled about as we made our way to my room. “Hey, are you still hurting?” I asked Gol after a few minutes of walking.

“No, I'm just a little sore now which is nothing compared to what I felt earlier.” He answered a smile and a chuckle. He took gentle grasp of my hand as we walked. “Other than that I'm fine, I had fun today… I'm genuinely happy, even more so knowing this wasn't some elaborate illusion.” He said, giving me a smile.

“Thank Oum for that.” I agreed as we came up to my room. “So… want to sleep in the inferminy or in my room?” I asked. He raised a brow at my question but for what was unknown to me.

“Sure, a proper bed sounds nice.” He answered with his smile never faltering before muttering under his breath. “But for some reason, I get the feeling we might be using it for more than just sleeping.” He said though I was able to hear his every word, he no doubt intended for me hear. I gave him a glance before opening the door to my room, the way I left it.

“Here we are.” I told him as I went to my closet. As I did this, he noticed the drawing covered wall. He tilted his head at every drawing I've made throughout my time here but he didn't react to it negatively so that's a plus I suppose.

“You're pretty good at drawing.” Gol said to me, still looking at the wall of drawings.

“Thanks… it’s something I’ve been working on for a long time.” I said as I pulled down some clothes and grabbed the hem of my shirt. “Also don’t look this way.” He let out a whine but looked away before I pulled up my shirt. “Don’t whine at me for this.”

“I didn't tell you to look away when I was shirtless.” He said jokingly. I rolled my eyes as I pulled up my sweat pants.

“Yeah yeah, alright you can look.” I told him. I saw him turn around and saw me wearing only a piece of cloth wrapped around my chest and some loose sweatpants. Viri’s friend Lana said this was really comfortable and I agree. Gol blushed at the sight of my attire and without as much of a warning, his wings suddenly spread open and stiff as well. The two of us stared at this for a few moments. “Umm, you okay there?” He blinked at this and shook his head.

“I-I don't know.” He said with a blush on his cheeks and a stutter in his voice. I looked at him worriedly before walking over if there’s anything I can help with after letting him sit down on the bed.

“Maybe calm down?” I said to him unsure. “Take deep breaths or something.” He did this a few times, his blush subsiding and his wings folded back against his back after a minute of taking deep breaths. “Feel better?” I asked. He nodded before glancing at me, blushing a little bit again. I smiled as I leaned against him.

“I'm fine… I don't know what caused my wings to do that.” He said to me with a quiet chuckle. I smiled at him as he said that.

“Don’t know either.” I said to him as I looked up at him. “You want the bed? I can sleep on the floor if you still need to get used to sleeping with the wings.”

“You are not going to sleep on the floor.” He stated with a frown. He crossed his arms before saying. “I don't want to be the ass that takes your bed so either I sleep on the floor or we snuggle up together.” He said, offering two other choices. I chuckled a bit at this.

“You’re not going to be an ass, besides… I rarely sleep in the bed anyway.” I told him. He arch a brow at me. “Hey, living in a tribe for most of my life, I’m used to sleeping on something other than a bed. It’s oddly comfy… other than rocks.” This got a chuckle from Gol before he and I laid onto the bed. Like I've done multiple times today, I laid my onto his chest to use him as my pillow.

“You're going to use me as your own personal pillow from now on, aren't you?” He asked me with an arched brow. I chuckled at this as I snuggled up to him.

“Don’t hear you complaining about it.” I said to him.

“Never said I was.” He quickly said, draping an arm over me. I hummed appreciatively at this before sleep took the both of us. I felt his wings wrapped around me like a blanket. For the first time in a long time I’ve slept soundly.

I walked through the forest with Gol behind me as we finished up the mission I was given; look into a new sighting of a new Dust Grimm. As it seems it was Death Stalker type grim with wind like powers. It also was hostile but I believe it was like that due to us coming into it’s territory, so more territorial. I wore my normal outfit when I came here; the clawed gauntlets and hooked boots that were shaped like talons and black and red cloak that, for some, looked like raven feathers.

“You okay back there?” I asked Gol as we walked. I glanced back, seeing Gol flexing his wings. He has mentioned how keeping them folded for so long makes them ache so he had taught himself to flex and stretch his wings. The first few times he had done this, he struggled to even move a single wing but now he did it effortlessly.

“Good, just stretching my wings.” He said before keeping his wings mildly folded back. Glancing back again, I could see Gol’s attire. He had asked Mavis of she could get him a wardrobe that wouldn't stuff his wings into the shirt. What he got was more than satisfactory, beside my own closet a new one had appeared with a variety of clothing for Gol. His attire for today was somewhat similar to Indigo’s old getup, some dress pants, shirt and fancy looking shoes. Mavis mentioned how she had enchanted that set of clothing to have the equivalent properties as the toughest armor known the Academy. The back even had openings for his wings to easily fit through. “That Stalker did a number on me though, I think I felt a rib break.” He added. I chuckled as I climbed up over a fallen tree.

“Just a broken rib? I thought the mighty Gol can overcome small injuries?” I said teasingly. He vaulted over the tree and rolled his eyes at me.

“It caught me off guard, these Staubgrimm aren't what I'm used to fighting.” He said with a frown. I shrugged as I waited for him to be near me before giving him a kiss.

“That’s all I can do for now, feel better?” I asked with a giggle. He thought on it with an audible hum before surprising me a little with another kiss, this one lasted a few seconds longer before he pulled back and said.

“Now I feel better.” He said with a smirk. I fluttered my eyes a bit before letting out a girlish giggle. I blinked as I did that.

“Oh wow, that’s new.” I said with a blush.

“Wow, didn't think you'd be any cuter.” Gol said before walking ahead slightly. I blushed even more at that as I pulled down my mask. I saw Gol looked back at me as I caught up at him. “You alright there, slowpoke?” He asked teasingly.

“I’m fine.” I said without looking at him, the blush was still there after what he said before. He soon draped a wing over me before pulling me closer to him.

“If you say so.” He said shrugging before wrapping an arm around me as we walked. We soon found ourselves on the dirt path back to the faunus town near the Academy. Even though we didn’t talk we walked close to each other with Gol’s wing around me. This made me smile under my mask. We walked through the Faunus town and saw the town’s folk going on with their lives. I saw a group of children run past us playing. The sound of laughter made me feel warm inside. “I still don't believe this place was a village before, a town can't be formed just like that.” Gol said to me.

“Yeah, I believe ever since Forever Free opened up many Faunus over Equestria came here to become Huntsman.” I said as we walked down the street. “Makes you think that, if this place grows bigger, would it clash with Ponyville that’s nearby?” He snorted at the name Ponyville, it's one of the many names he find amusing in this word.

“Maybe, maybe even surpass it. All we can do is wait and see.” Gol said after recomposing himself. A few of townsfolk that walk by us gave us friendly hellos and hi’s. We soon came up on the farm Tak grew up on, seeing the crops growing nicely and a few farmhands tending to the farms every need. I even saw Tak and Weiss helping out around the place. It was still odd seeing Weiss working like she is now for Gol it was even odder. Weiss noticed us and we waved at her, gaining a wave back from Weiss before getting Tak to wave back. Speaking of the blind bat faunus, Gol had many questions about the kid and how could do the things he does despite being blind and while I answered the best I could, most of his question were left unanswered. “That kid amazes me every day.” Gol said, no doubt referring to Tak.

“Yeah, I’m still getting over the fact that Weiss, someone from a high-end family like the Schnees, fell in love with a blind Bat Faunus farmer like Tak.” I said as I saw Weiss with a basket under her arm while picking the crops.

“But she's happy with him, which is really all that matters.” Gol said before we continued on back to the Academy.

“Yeah…” I said before reaching over and taking his hand into mine. “It really does.” He glanced down at me with a loving smile.

“So now that we've done you're mission, we report it to the headmistress?” He soon asked me, his gaze setting back onto the path ahead. The dirt road soon changed to that of cobblestone, signifying that we've nearly arrived.

“Yes, we do.” I told him as we walked off. As we walked I saw a number of students running down the hallway in a rush. It was quite odd.

“What's the rush?” Gol asked out loud. One of the students heard him and slowed down a bit.

“Two people broke water, they both were carried to the infirmary since it’s closer. I think their names are Blake Parker and Viri Mal Kun.” one of the students said before running off. Both Gol and I looked at one another.

“Oh Oum, their giving birth today!” I said surprised. Without giving him any warning and after I asked where the two were, I dragged Gol behind and passed the many students in the way. Gol struggled to keep up, not being able to match my speed. As we got closer I started to hear screaming from both Blake and Viri, the scary part that out of one of the two rooms that they were in flames were coming out. Teachers were there to keep the students out of the way and out of harm's way as Viri cried. I soon saw Ruby standing nearby with a look of worry across her face. “You think they’ll be okay?” I asked Gol.

“They'll be fine… I hope.” He said, adding the last bit with a tone of worry. Time passed as this went on, the students that once crowed the halls left and only me, Gol, Yang, Ruby and Indigo stood by the two doors. The worried look on Ruby’s face as she waited next to Viri’s door. Indigo didn't fare any better, he had to keep himself distracted and even that wasn't working, the well being of his wife mattered most to him and hearing her screams of agony wasn't something he'd ever want to hear again. “I don't what I'd do if I were in his shoes.” Gol said to himself. I put my hand on top of his and squeezed. As we sat I saw Weiss and Tak running over to us.

“Sorry that we’re late, what did we miss?” Weiss asked as both Blake and Viri screamed. “Ah, never mind.”

Looking over at Ruby I saw her a nervous wreck after each scream from Viri passed. She started to shake as she was close to tears after a jet of flame came out. Qo, who came a little bit before Weiss and Tak with Iilah, sat beside her mother with a worried look.

It was another five hours before a new sound was heard, this one from Blakes room, the sound of a baby crying. Indigo couldn't believe his ears even as he was ushered in by Axycia. Iilah waited out here with the rest of us, wanting to wait until everything was calm again but I could tell that she was excited to have a younger sibling.

It was after an hour when the cries of two babies from Viri’s room signaled that the two of them were done, and no more flames coming out of Viri’s room. We waited for the call that we can all come in to one or both rooms. Soon enough Indigo came walking out the room with a big smile on his face. Iilah was the first to speak up.

“So?” She asked as she stepped forward.

“It's a boy… I have a son.” He said as he couldn't even believe his own words. He sat down before repeating. “I have a son.” He said, tears forming in his eyes which was a first for me having never seen him tear up once. Iilah sat down beside him, shocked at the news.

“I have a little brother…” she said. I looked over at Gol to see what’s his reaction is. He smiled at his counterpart’s happiness and watched as Mavis called Ruby into the room next door. Ruby looked at all of us before getting up and walking into the room. We waited until Qo stood up and enter the room as well, wanting to see what’s going on.

After a few moments we all heard a few squeals from Viri’s room.

“Guess everyone's happy.” I said loud enough for everyone to hear. Everyone nodded at this before Weiss looked over at Indigo.

“Did the two of you come up with a name?” she asked him. Indigo nodded and we waited for his answer.

“Brans… Brans Belladonna Parker.” He said, the joy he felt was unlike any other. He had a son, he no doubt repeated his own mind. Iilah had walked up him wrapped her arms around him for a hug, sharing her happiness with the man she could call a father. I smiled at the two of them as Mavis walked out of Viri’s room smiling… and a little burnt. Not very much but it was noticeable.

“It's safe now for everyone to come see Viri. I will go check on Blake to see if she wants any visitors.” Mavis said, snapping her fingers to clean her doctor’s outfit. She must've dressed for the occasion or maybe she didn't want to dirty her dress. Either way, she entered Blake's room. All of us, with the exception of Indigo and Iilah, got up and went into Viri’s room to see her, Ruby, and Qo. The place… was in shambles. Other than the bed and people the rest was smoking and burning from the delivery. Viri laid in bed exhausted, her hair out kept and a few flames were near her. She saw us enter and smiled weakly. She waved at all of us as I saw Ruby and Qo beside each side of the bed holding something.

“Are those…” Weiss started only to stop when Viri nodded.

“Twin… girls…” She barely said as she was close to passing out. I smiled at this as I went over to see the one Qo was holding. She had silver hair with a strip of reddish black and coiled around her head. While only still really young I saw that the baby was healthy. I smiled at this as I looked to see the others coming over to see her as well as some others along with Gol went to see the one in Ruby’s arms. Gol smiled at the sight of the newborn baby girl, he glanced at me with a loving smile before chuckling to himself.

“She's adorable,” Gol whispered to Ruby, not wanting to spook the baby in her arms. Ruby nodded at this as she brought the baby close to her, overwhelming with joy at all this.

“Did you came up with names?” Yang asked the two of them. Viri looked over at her before moving her arm to the one in Qo’ s arms.

“That one is Miho… and her sister is Karen.” Viri said with a tired smile. Ruby smiled at this as she walked over with Karen and handed her to Viri, which she pulled her close with a smile.

“Hi there~” Qo said to Miho with a big smile. “I'm your older sister, we're going to have a lot of fun together.” We all watched as Ruby, Qo and Viri basked in the joy for their new additions to their family. I held Gol as this happened, imagining myself in the scenario with Gol. I quickly shook my head as the blush formed. It was too early to have these thoughts but… a part of me hopes for it to come true some day.

After a few moments, Mavis walked in clean and smiling as Qo looked at her then at her mother. Viri nodded as Qo turned and walked over to Mavis. “Hey, time to meet your Monahsemonah.” Qo said to her sister. [Grandmother]

Qo carefully handed her newborn sister to Mavis. The latter gently took her into her arms, Miho let a few adorable sounds as she looked at Mavis while she looked down at her with a smile. Yang walked up to Mavis and simply watched as she held Miho in her arms.

“I'm so happy for you, Viri.” Mavis said to Viri as she walked up with Miho in her arms. Viri smiled up at Mavis as she held Karen. From where I stood I saw Karen looked almost like her sister, only the hair colour was reverse; reddish black hair with a silver stripe.

“Yeah…” Viri said as she looked down at her child. “I wish my mom was her to see them… and Qo.”

“Wait, I thought Monahsemonah is your mother?” Qo asked, earning a look from Ruby and Viri.

“No Qo it’s… ugh, I’m too tired to explain.” Viri said with a grumble.

“Rest now, dear.” Mavis said, waving her hand a bit with Miho still in her arms. Viri was soon cleaned up of all the sweat and her room was finally restored. “Ruby and Qo will look after your newborns while you rest.” Mavis said, carefully handing Miho back to Qo. As she did this, two cribs for the twins appeared beside Viri’s bed. Within the crib was numerous blankets and pillows for the little ones. When that’s done Qo put Miho down in one of the cribs while Ruby reached for Karen. At first Viri didn’t seem to want to give her up but she soon did as Ruby put her into the second crib.

“Their… so… beautiful…” she said before closing her eyes and passing out. Mavis smiled at this before covering her up a little more with her blanket, letting Viri rest in comfort.

“Ruby and Qo, you may stay for as long as you'd like but as for the rest of you…” Mavis then proceeded to shoo us out the room, even Yang much to everyone's surprise. Mavis was the last to walk out before shutting the door behind her. “With her aura, she will be back up by tomorrow.” She said.

“Those three look happy with the two newborns.” Weiss said with a smile. She held onto Tak’s hand as she said this. Tak smiled as well at his wife’s words and nodded in agreement.

“What about Blake?” Yang asked, looking into the other room. At the mention of Blake, we all turned to where we last saw Indigo and Iilah only to find the spot empty. The door to the room was slightly ajar. “I guess she’ll be alright… right?”

“If you wish to see her, go ahead but be quiet as to not disturb the child.” Mavis said to Yang and the rest. Mavis’ doctor attire was soon replaced with her dress within a flash of light. Slowly we all opened the door and peered inside. We were quick to see Indigo standing beside Blake’s bed, who held their baby boy. Iilah was watching them from afar, giving them the moment. Blake was in tears, crying happily as she held the newborn and Indigo was in the same state as well with tears of joy streaming down his face. I smiled as I stood back as the rest of them went in to see the baby boy. I held Gol’s hand as we watched.

“How do you feel Gol?” I asked him in a whisper.

“It's a little weird seeing another version of myself like this but… I feel happy for him and Blake.” He answered with a whisper as well. I smiled at him before letting go of him. I walked around him until I could take his Grimm hand into my hand.

“Given time, that could be you.” I said with a slight blush on my face. This got a blush on Gol’s pale cheeks but he smiled and chuckled quietly.

“Yeah… given time.” He said with a nod. The two of us smiled as we stood out in the hallway, hearing some talking before Yang peeked her head out to look at us.

“Hey, you two staying out here or coming in?” she asked us. The two of us looked at each other before nodding as we followed her in to see the baby boy.
