Juane: Pyrrha..Why do you believe in me?

Pyrrha: Hmm? What do you mean?

Juane: Everyone at Beacon, even the teachers wonder how I got in. Even my parents didn't believe I was going to succeed. So why do you?

Pyrrha: Because I can see what no one else can.

Juane: What's that?

Just two girlfriends on a walk - Yang’s lost but Weiss isn’t :)))

I drew this on the motorway (so I had like no references, shakiness, and brothers kicking my chair) for @saskyang‘s birthday and I’ve only just got internet to post it now

Anywho

Merry Christmas @saskyang

Day 25 of the RWBY Art Challenge 

Prompt: Draw a character is someone else’s style

“Um, what’s going on here?”

Nothing could have prepared Yang for the sight that had unfolded before her very eyes. Never in her life could she have imagined this sort of thing happening.

“I can explain.” Ren looked at her, his face begging to be allowed a chance to speak.

She motioned for him to do so.

“It’s not what it looks like.”

Yang stared at him for a few moments, the silence filling the room.

Before she exploded in laughter.

“Babe, okay, so this doesn’t look like you in a dress while our daughter paints your nails?” She began to wipe the tears out of her eyes as Lei continued to paint her husband’s nails a vibrant pink. She had even done his hair up with cute little ribbons and bows.

“Yes? Hey, wait, Yang, what are you-?”

“And that is my new screen saver.” She smirked as she put her Scroll away, having saved the newly taken picture. Her smirk only grew at her husband’s defeated sighs and their four year old daughter’s giggles.

She couldn’t wait to show the girls this. Maybe she’d make it up to her husband somehow.

If he asked nicely.

Send me your name and I'll tell you 3 things I associate it with

“Come on, Renny, you gotta ask her out!”

Nora bounced over to Ren as he lay on the couch, in the middle of reading one of his books. She could never understand how he could bear reading them when there weren’t any pictures in them at all. Or explosions. Or pictures of explosions.

“Nora, what are you talking about?” He didn’t look up from his book but she knew he was feigning ignorance. She knew he knew exactly what it was she was referring to.

“I’m talking about how you should totally ask Yang out on a date, silly~” He made an attempt not to react but she was how his cheeks dusted very faintly to the blonde’s name. “I mean, I’ve seen the way you two act around each other. It’s so obvious she likes you the way you like her.” It was the truth as far as she knew. The way they seemed to light up whenever the other made physical contact with them, you would have to be blind not to notice the underlying feelings resonating between the pair. It was painful to watch them not act on any of it.

Of course, she knew Ren would never make the first move. Bold, he was not. He was the kind to stand on the side, watching everything and everyone and acting all analytical and nerdy. It made him ten times way better than most of the guys their age but it was so boring and painful to bear witness to at times such as this. He probably could get any girl he wanted with the way he looked, but he never once acted on anything and it was just so... so...

It was just so Ren.

“Nora, what gave you that idea?” He was making an effort to keep his face from lighting up. “I do not harbor any sort of romantic feelings towards Yang, and even if I were to, it would only complicate things as we are on opposing teams.” There he went again with his logic and all that smarty-pants talk. “I don’t think it would be a very good idea to attempt anything of the sort, hypothetically speaking.”

A sigh of frustration escaped her lips as she threw her arms up and stormed out of the room. He was acting all tsundere about it, acting like he didn’t feel anything for Yang and in denial. Wait, he wasn’t calling her an idiot or anything, so was that really tsundere behavior or...? She’d have to ask Blake and Ruby about that. Which reminded her, she needed to finish watching that one Ruby recommended to her. It was so good, with all the mechs and explosions and just everything she ever wanted.

Walking into the kitchen, she collapsed onto one of the chairs, letting out another sigh. “Is something wrong, hibana?” her mother asked, sitting before her. An Ren was such a sweet and loving woman, having adopted Nora when she was younger and living on the streets. She was so kind and caring and would always listen to her and made the most amazing, spectacular pancakes Nora had ever tasted in her life.

“Just Ren being Ren, haha. He’s being stubborn again and won’t admit he likes a girl we know, even though it’s so obvious that she feels the same about him.”

“Oh? My little hasu has his first crush?” There was a gleam in her mother’s eyes that had Nora giggling. “Nora, dear, just who per chance is this young girl who has stolen my son’s heart?”

Nora smirked.

*-*-*

Lie Ren knew the moment his mother walked into the living room that any semblance of quiet left over from Nora would be gone. She had that look in her eyes that told him she knew, most likely as a result of Nora, but the more pressing matter was she knew.

“Lie,” she practically sang, her voice having that level of sweetness to it that only came about when she was up to no good. “How is my little hasu doing today?”

“I’m fine, Mother.” He was not fine.

“That’s good to hear.” She placed a smile upon her lips, one which put Ren even more away from at ease. “So, I just heard the most interesting of news from your sister.” Damn you, Nora. “And I was wondering why I was the last to know of this.”

“Whatever do you mean?” Oh crapbaskets, she knew!

“Well...” She clasped her hands together and smiled at him. “When were you going to tell me you had yourself a girlfriend?”

Were he taking a drink right now, he would have done several spit takes. G-g-GIRLFRIEND!? Just what had Nora told her!? No, no, knowing An Ren, she probably knew it was only a mere crush and had said such things in order to elicited a reaction out of him. The small sound of acknowledgement she made only furthered his small little panic attack he was currently going through. “You should invite her over for dinner, Lie. I want to meet her. I bet she’s very beautiful.”

“M-mother, I think y-you have things confused.”

“Oh, you’re right, hasu.” Oh, that was a relief. “Why would you need to invite her when I already did so myself?” That was not a relief! “Her family will be here by six, so I want you all clean and presentable.”

Her smile never left her lips as she returned to the kitchen, leaving Ren there on the couch, his book falling out of his hands as he sat there stunned by the revelation.

And people wondered where he got his personality from some days.

@saskyang so originally I had no idea how old everyone was in SSKR until you posted your Winter comic, but I figured I’d stick with what I had done in Tease and make them all 17 (15 for Ruby), if that is quite alright. Also headcanon that Ren’s family is Japanese because of how they look, where their home was, etc etc, and Nora having been raised by them also speaks Japanese at times.

So I got bored and decided I wanted to try my hand at voice dubbing. Figured the first place to start was @saskyang post vol 3 Sunflowyr comic. Short, simple, and wonderful. Sorry for the delay in transitioning; used OBS for it. Might try it again later using a proper video maker.

Also, we will call this part 3.5 of your 4 part birthday present lol
