"Hurt my partner, and there will be no place on Remnant where I will not find you and kill you."

"I'll have you know that I'm still unsure of your intentions. If you try anything with my baby sister, I will focus all of my family's resources and power on making you miserable for the rest of your pitiful life."

Worth it.

Worth it, worth it, worth it.

After defending Vale from a Grimm attack, and now that Hima and I were together-together, things got a lot more interesting and fun.

For one thing, I was allowed to get pissed whenever someone else tried to flirt with her.

/\

That jackass, Cardin Winchester, sat down next to Hima as she studied in the library, smirking.

"You doing anything later tonight, Snowy?" He asked. Hima ignored him, trying to focus on her lessons. "Playing hard-to-get? That's cute."

The poor bastard didn't notice me glaring and walking up behind him, or my teammates, Team (E)MBR, Team RWBY, and Team JNPR praying for his soul in the background.

He also didn't notice his own teammates frantically gesturing for him to get out of there while he still could.

"I'm not interested." Hima looked up from her book and glared at the boy. "Nor will I ever be interested."

"Why, you little-"

"Excuse me." I crossed my arms, my tail flicking in annoyance as the boy turned to see me. "Just what do you think you're doing?"

"None of your business, freak." Cardin glared, Hima visibly getting angry. I winked at her, saying I had it covered, then looked back at Cardin.

"Oh, I think it is." I stated. "Seeing as how you're flirting with my girlfriend." The boy's face paled. "Tell you what: I'll give you three second to run before I get to kick your ass. One-"

"Listen here, freak-"

"Two-"

"I'm not going to be intimidated-"

"Three." I cracked my knuckles, then punched Cardin in the face hard enough to send him flying into a bookshelf, getting knocked out as several books fell on his head. I turned to Hima, offering an arm and smiling goofily. "M'lady?"

"What a gentleman." Hima teased, standing up and taking my arm as we departed.

Ozpin and Goodwitch watched from nearby with amused/irritated expressions while our friends laughed.

/\

And for another thing, Hima could get pissed when another girl tried to make a move on me.

/\

I sat at a table at lunch, waiting for my friends to show up.

"So, where are you from?" A brown-haired leopard-Faunus asked. I raised an eyebrow.

"Vacuo, but I go to Haven."

"Vacuo?" The girl asked. I wondered why she was talking so weird, and why she kept blinking. Was she sick? Was it contagious? Ew, gross! "What's it like there?"

"Uh... Desert-y?"

"Hey, Sun!" Hima sat down next to me, smiling brightly. I smiled, feeling a little less uncomfortable.

"Who's that?" The leopard-Faunus asked, still talking and blinking weird. Back to being uncomfortable.

Hima's smile slowly faded as she locked eyes with the brunette, the two engaging in a silent battle. I think it went something like this.

'Get away from my boyfriend, now.'

'I'd like to see you make me, Snow Queen.'

'You realize my older sister is Weiss Schnee, right? She can make your life a living Hell.'

'You wouldn't dare.'

'Watch me... You know what, I change my mind. I'll just kill you myself. Slowly, painfully, and you'll regret the day you first looked at Sun.'

'Y-you're lying.'

'Am I? Are you willing to take that big of a risk for a hook-up?'

'...'

'That's what I thought.' The leopard-Faunus stood up and walked away in silence. Hima crossed her arms, smirking. 'Sun is my bitch. Don't you home-wrecking sluts ever forget it.'

"Um..." I raised an eyebrow. I was pretty sure that I knew what had happened, but I wanted to be sure. "What the Hell just happened?"

"Nothing!" Hima replied, smiling as she started eating her lunch. The others sat down, the boys looking confused while the girls stared at Hima in awe.

"That was awesome!" Yang held a hand up. Hima high-fived her, the other girls offering congratulations.

"What's going on?" Jaune asked. Nora looked over at him, shaking her head and tsking.

"Boys, boys... Never recognizing a mental catfight."

"Catfight?!" Neptune whipped out his camera. Everyone deadpanned at him, then looked back at Hima.

'You're right, you know.' Blake crossed her arms, smirking. 'He's definitely your bitch.'

/\

Everything just became easier. No more awkward tension, no more having to hold back what we wanted to say to each other, no more sitting idly by.

I still couldn't believe what an idiot I was, not noticing how we both felt before. And I still couldn't believe that I actually took a chance and kissed Hima.

I still couldn't believe that she didn't kill me and/or savagely break my legs, and she actually became my girlfriend. So awesome...

Still, we both agreed not to be those cliché over-affectionate people in the movies. In public, we looked pretty much normal (if a little more protective). To the unknowing eye, we were the same two friends who stowed-away on that ship.

We knew better.

/\/\/\/\

Thunder roared across Vale, and I darted into the hallway just as Hima stepped out of her room, rolling her eyes and crossing her arms.

I was wearing an honestly-embarrassing pair of blue pajamas covered in banana-images (the shirt unbuttoned to expose the abs, of course), my feet bare. Hima wore a snow-white t-shirt and baby-blue pants, her feet bare and her hair still in its usual side-ponytail.

"You need to go for a walk?" Hima asked, offering her hand. I chose instead to cling to her arm, and she smiled. "You're such a baby."

"Shut up!" I complained. We started walking down the hallway, and I flinched as lightning flashed in the windows. "My teammates can never find out about this. I mean, imagine if they knew I was afraid of storms! A Huntsman-" Hima turned to me and glared.

"If they're really your friends, they wouldn't care." She stated. "Sun, a phobia isn't something you can just get over in a day. You can't control when you get them or what they're of... Even if they can't hurt you, a person's phobia can send them into panic-attacks, seizures, and even cardiac-arrest."

"Did you learn all of that just so you could take care of me?" I teased, and Hima rolled her eyes and blushed. I raised an eyebrow, surprised. "Did you?"

"Nope!" Hima smiled. "I'm just here to pull you through it the old-fashioned way, Sunshine. Relentlessly teasing you-"

"While giving me something to hold on to."

"You cheesy little-" We hid in a closet as a teacher passed, covering each other's mouths. When they were gone, we poked our heads out, and I wagged my eyebrows at Hima.

"Doesn't this look suspicious?"

"Shut up!" Hima glared, both of us exiting the closet. She opened her scroll and checked it, seeing the weather-radar. "Great. It's an all-nighter."

"We haven't had one of those since last winter-break." I frowned, rubbing the back of my neck nervously. "What are we going to do?" Hima shook her head, looking up at me.

"Thank God it's Friday." She sighed, rolling her eyes as I practically jumped into her arms as lightning flashed and thunder roared. "Looks like we're both pulling an all-nighter."

/\

We couldn't just wander the halls all night, so we decided to go to one of the many school student-lounges. I picked the lock, and we entered, looking around the room for cameras. Hima raised an eyebrow, frowning.

"No cameras?" She asked, confused. I pulled out my scroll and utilized one of my less-than-legal apps to scan for hidden devices.

"Weird." I frowned. "It's like Ozpin's asking for his students to hook up in here." We exchanged glances, and I smiled and rubbed the back of my neck. "Stupid thought?"

"More like disturbing." Hima replied, locking the door again. "At least we'll get a warning in the morning. We'll have to hide in the closet when someone unlocks the door." I wagged my eyebrows, and Hima deadpanned. "Remind me why you're my boyfriend, again?" I wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

"You know you love me." I teased. Hima deadpanned again, then smirked as I hugged her arm at another crash of thunder. "... Not a word." Hima laughed, wagging her eyebrows.

"You know you love me." She mocked me, walking over and sitting on a couch. I sat down next to her, then hugged her arm again as thunder roared. "Are you going to hold onto me all night?" I looked up at her and wagged my eyebrows, and Hima deadpanned. "Not like that, you complete dolt."

"I know, I know." I laid down, Hima lying next to me (between me and the back of the couch), my legs hanging over one of the arms as our heads rested on the other, and I couldn't help but smile as I was once again reminded of how tiny my girlfriend was. A crash of thunder shook the school, and I quickly rolled onto my side and hugged Hima, the girl yelping in surprise as she rolled over and was pinned to my chest.

"O-okay." Hima blushed at how close we were, and I rolled my eyes. This, again? "I think that's a little bit too-" I kissed my girlfriend, rolling over onto my back with her on top of me, the girl letting out a small squeak of surprise before relaxing, her fingers curling into the fabric of my shirt as I held her close. When we pulled apart, Hima's face was red, but she smirked and raised an eyebrow. "You didn't hear the thunder?"

"Thunder?"

"There was a lot of it just then. It's a wonder that you didn't hear any of it, Romeo." Hima teased. My tail wrapped around her waist, and I smiled, raising a hand to the side of her face.

"Sorry to disappoint you. I couldn't hear it over the sound of how awesome my girlfriend and I are."

"Oh, shut up."

/\

When we finally went to sleep, Hima laid next to me, between the couch and me, laying on her side with her face buried into my chest.

I closed my eyes, still shaking a little bit from fear, but having Hima there with me really helped. I closed my eyes, trying to calm down, and a few minutes later, Hima must have thought that I had fallen asleep...

"I know you can't help it, but you shouldn't be scared." I heard Hima whisper. "At this point, you should know that nothing will ever hurt you as long as I'm around. Not any storm, not any racist jerk, and especially not my father... Thank God that you can't hear this, you cocky asshole."

When I was sure that Hima had fallen asleep, I opened my eyes and raised a hand to the side of her face, smiling softy at the girl.

"I know you can't hear me." I whispered. "I actually think that that's probably for the best, since what I'm going to say would probably set you off in an instant, but... I think you need to know that nothing will ever hurt you as long as I'm around, no matter what. If anyone anyone ever tried to, especially your father, they'd have to get through me." I kissed her forehead, then wrapped my arms and tail around her protectively. "Goodnight."
