-Team RWBY's dorm-
Glowing red eyes slowly flickered open as their owner yawned cutely. Rubbing the sleep from his eyes, Naruto glanced around with mild confusion as he found himself sandwiched between Noranee-chan and the odd black/red haired girl who smelled of burnt gunpowder and cookies.
He didn't think too deeply about it though, being swiftly distracted by his tummy grumbling at him for food. Crawling out from between the two sleeping teens without disturbing either of them somehow, he reached the edge of the bed and climbed off… only to discover a second to late that the floor was much farther than he expected.
"EEK!" Releasing a short yelp, he fell straight onto the bottom bed thanks to Nora's added weight having caused the bed to slant a bit during the night.
"Oof!" Unfortunately for Weiss, she just happened to be laying on the exact section of bed that Naruto landed on and ended up being his impromptu landing pad. Stunned from the sudden rude awakening and having the wind knocked out of her, she was unable to make a sound as her blurry vision cleared up to see the faunus boy from last night climb off of her with a quiet apology.
Naruto, having assumed that Weiss hadn't woken up due to her not yelling or anything, finally stepped onto the floor while holding his growling stomach and started looking around the room. Yang and Blake were sharing the black haired girls bed, with almost half of Yang's body currently drooping off the side as she snored away without a care. Ren was on the bed beneath them, and Jaune was splayed out on the floor beside it.
Having recovered from her surprise wakeup call, Weiss had to admit that Naruto looked absolutely adorable. He was wearing a pink t-shirt that was slightly baggy and reached down to an inch or so below his knees, and a pair of black boxers backwards with his tails popping out the fly. Said tails were lazily waving around behind him, with one even gently brushing against Weiss's current bedmate Pyrrha's cheek, making her giggle slightly in her sleep before rolling over.
When Naruto turned around to find the source of the noise, Weiss reacted instinctually and started feigning sleep without knowing why. Glancing over the 'sleeping' pair and not noticing anything strange, Naruto focused back on his hunger and again looked around the room, this time trying to find food.
As he looked around, Weiss's eyes widened in surprise as his eyes started glowing slightly brighter and his pupils narrowed down to slits. 'That… that's not possible, faunus only have one animal trait.' She thought in shock, trying to come up with a logical reason for this impossibility. 'Must be because he's from the veil, it has to be.'
While Weiss was busy trying to explain the supposed impossible, Naruto was focused on the closet door closest to Weiss and Ruby's beds. To him, everyone in the room now had a slight colored glow around them and he could see several other similar glows through the walls all around him, but was more focused on the cluster of solid glowing dots he could see coming from the closet.
Walking over to it, he pulled the door open to reveal seven identical white/blue outfits, seven identical female beacon uniforms neatly hung up and ready to go, and six also identical nightgowns. A few empty haphazardly stacked boxes and suitcases were sitting underneath them, a several foot tall messy pile of mostly red and black clothing had been sloppily stuffed into one corner, and several shiny silver cases with snowflake symbols on them that the glowing dots originated from sat in the other.
Grabbing the case closest to him, Naruto tried to pry it open, his eyes turning back to normal as he's doing so. Weiss, who had finally gotten over her little mental debate about said eyes, was silently watching by the doorway with an intrigued expression. 'How did he know exactly where I was keeping my dust? He couldn't have seen it last night as he was asleep the entire time, so how?' It couldn't have been him simply being curious cause he had went straight for it without paying any attention to anything else.
She was torn from her thoughts by a light squealing noise as Naruto managed to rend the lock open and immediately snatched up the first bit of dust he could reach, a bottle of ice dust. 'Really need to remember to get better locks for those.' The white themed girl thought with a deadpan. Seriously, first Ruby manages to break one just by knocking it over when they first met, but now a kid just tore one apart with his bare hands. The designers and builders of these ones were so gonna be fired when she was through with them.
Yanking the cork out with his teeth, the unusual faunus spat it out before latching his mouth around the top of the bottle and tilting his head up. The contents of the bottle quickly vanished down his gullet, completely emptied out after only a few seconds.
As Naruto spat out the empty container and grabbed a full one, Weiss marveled at the sight of one of his tails rapidly growing back to its original eight foot long length, the tip regaining the light blue color from before.
This process repeated itself for several minutes as the boy systematically devoured almost half of her entire dust supply before finally stopping.
*BEEEEEELCH!* "…excuse me," Naruto mumbled as he sat amongst the ruined cases and piles of bottles with a content look, all of his tails having regrown to full size. So focused on the boy, Weiss missed as one of the tails drifted over to where she was until it rubbed against her bare arm, causing her to yelp in surprise.
Naruto's head snapped towards her direction in fright, looking around for the source of the noise before he swiftly scrambled towards the nearest hiding spot, that being Ruby's pile of clothes. Weiss was flabbergasted when she saw how he dove into the heap and seemingly vanished into it's depths, tails and all.
Shaken off her shock, Weiss opened the door fully and walked inside. Approaching the pile he was hiding in and kneeling down, she mentally noted to scold Ruby for not doing her laundry as her nose scrunched up from the mild smell of sweat. Weiss gingerly grabbed onto the topmost piece of fabric and slowly lifted it up, repressing a shiver as it unveiled those still unnerving and now quivering red eyes that stared at her. They reminded her way to much of a grimm's eyes for her comfort whenever she looked at them.
"Hey, it's okay, I'm not gonna hurt you," She said in a soothing slightly musical tone, thank you natural singing voice, that visible eased the startled child's nerves as he stopped shaking and slowly poked his head back out. At the sight she was greeted with, an odd mixture between a muffled squeal and a giggle managed to slip past Weiss lips. One of Ruby's training bras was currently situated atop Naruto's head at just the right angle to make it appear like he had a pair of ears.
It took all of her lessons on proper etiquette to withstand the urge to glomp him right then and there into a hug, especially when he tilted his head cutely from confusion. That confusion then turned into mildly tense but cheery.
"Hi white lady," He said with a smile, getting Weiss's own smile to twitch slightly. Seriously? White lady? Taking a deep breath, she let it slide for now, he was just a kid after all.
"Hello Naruto, may I ask what you're doing in here?" She asked feigning ignorance.
"Was hungry, saw candy," He said bluntly, ducking back into cover slightly while pointing to the mess of destroyed crates and empty dust vials.
"I see, well how about we get you some real food then?" He reemerged at these words with a look of interest. "You can't just eat du- er, candy and consider it a proper meal now." Weiss told him while brushing the underwear off of his head, and pulled his squirming form out of the pile of dirty laundry, again marveling how his tails flawlessly emerged from the pile despite the obvious size difference. "Just let me get changed real quick." She told him before closing the door.
After about a minute or so, Weiss exited the closet now wearing her beacon uniform, since it was Thursday and they did have class today anyway. Taping a note to the door and making sure to grab her scroll, Weiss took Naruto's hand and quietly led him out of the room.
Having figured that there was no way they could simply hide the fact that Naruto was on campus (especially with Nora of all people being his now official caretaker), Weiss didn't bother trying to be discreet as she was headed towards the main cafeteria with Naruto in tow. Not that it really mattered as it was only six o'clock in the morning and first classes weren't till nine so only a small amount of other students were even up and about at this time. Those that were though, froze in shock at the sight of the SCHNEE HEIRESS walking around with an unknown FAUNUS CHILD!
'Either father is going to be really pissed at this, or somehow use it to make himself look better.' Weiss thought in irritation as more than one random student managed to recover from their shock fast enough to pull out their scrolls to either film or photograph the two of them and started gossiping to their friends about it. More so when Naruto started to hide behind her when one student got a little too close for his comfort.
It got a bit better when they reached their destination, as there was only two other people there eating at the moment. A pair of teen girls that were sitting together, wearing the exact same uniform as Weiss, and both had a different shade of brown hair. One was wearing a pair of black aviators that hid her eyes and a dark brown beret that leaned to the side, while the other had two tall brown bunny ears atop her head and dark brown almost black eyes. Both of them were currently staring with dumbstruck expressions and half full mouths as Weiss had Naruto sit down at the closest table to the serving stations, before she walked off to fix herself and Naruto up some plates.
Focused on getting the food, Weiss completely missed as the two girls broke out of their shock and were now whispering to each other while stealing glances between her and Naruto. Said boy had notice the glances and was slowly starting to move under the table, only to freeze as his eyes locked onto the bunny girls fluffy ears.
Noticing his staring, but not where he was staring, the beret wearing girl nudged her friend with her shoulder and motioned over to the boy. The bunny girl shook her head and murmured something back, only for beret girl to shove her up to her feet and towards the boy's direction.
'Hmm, good amount of milk, plenty of healthy calories, just needs a bit more fruit,' Weiss thought as she added a few grapes and apple sauce to Naruto's tray. While not severely so, Naruto was clearly had a decent case of malnutrition and would need plenty of high calorie meals to help him recover. Luckily for him, Weiss had extensive knowledge on the subject of proper diet and nutrition due to being both a heiress and a huntress in training.
"EEEEEP! COCO HELP!" The white haired girl was knocked out of her thoughts by a loud feminine shriek coming from behind her. Weiss whirled around on her heel, ready for any possible trouble, only to stop cold at yet another shocking sight. Seriously, she was going to need a serious heart exam after this was over.
Naruto was currently perched on the shoulders of the bunny girl with a happy face, his tails had wrapped around her entire body below said shoulders effectively immobilizing her, and her head was held firmly in place by his small arms. The girl was panicking as she called for her friend for help to no avail as the now named Coco was too busy laughing her ass off at the girl's current predicament.
Especially when he began nomming on the top of one of her rabbit ears while nuzzling against the top of her head.
