I've stayed at Ruby's and Yang's place for a couple of days with Weiss and Blake, and I had finally started to get a layout of the area, so I had started to walk around without using my Semblance. My time here over the past couple of days has been enjoyable. Getting to know Ruby and Yang a bit more while spending time with them. Tai had been accommodating to my way of feeding, and blindness. If it had put him off something, or he had something to say, he was quiet about it.
Currently, I was sitting in the shower alone and bare, cleaning myself. Felling the water spray at me was kind of refreshing. The trouble was, I couldn't clean every part of my wings, I always had Mama to help me, but since they died, and I moved to Beacon, I had no one to help me.
"Fran? Are you still in there?" I heard Weiss say from beyond the door.
"Yeah. Sorry Weiss, but I kinda have a problem."
"What is it?" Weiss asked beyond the door.
"I can't reach my wings to clean them. Can you do me a favour and get Blake for me, please?"
"Nonsense, I'll do it for her. She's busy with Ruby and Yang anyway." I heard Weiss say as she opened the bathroom door. Thankfully, I had remembered to wrap a towel around me, to keep my modesty.
I heard her walk near me and handed her a bottle of soap made specifically for my wings. "Make sure you get every part of my wings or else it'll get itchy."
"O-Okay." Weiss nervously stumbled out. As I felt her starting to apply the soap to my wings she got calmer. "You know, I always dreamed of doing something like this. Ever since I was younger, I wanted the chance to wash my little sibling's hair, but Whitley, my younger brother, always refused."
"I never knew you had any siblings."
"Yeah, there's Winter, my older sister who enlisted in the Atlesian Military and my younger brother, he lives with my father at my family's estate."
"What are they like? I don't have any siblings, so I don't get the whole sibling rivalry thing."
Weiss took a second as I felt more soap touch my left wing, soon covering the entirety of my left wing. "Well Winter is a lot like me. She can use glyphs and she's ferocious when she's in a battle. Father disowned her, when she wouldn't stop her training with the military."
"I'm sorry to hear that. I hope she's fine."
"She stopped caring what Father said about her when she left. Trust me, she's doing fine. In fact, she just got promoted to a Specialist in the Atlesian Military Special Operatives Unit. I miss her." Weiss grew quiet as she ended her explanation of her sister.
"She sounds like a great agent. What about your brother?"
Weiss groaned. "What can I say? He takes after my father. He hates the Faunus and treats them like garbage. He's conniving, cold and vindictive. He's the perfect son my father would ever have..."
"But..."
"But he's my brother. I have to believe he can see what father really is." Weiss then covered the entirety of my right wing in soap. "Right, are you ready, this might feel a bit cold."
I nodded my head as I felt cold water touch my wings. Instantly, I shivered. "You weren't kidding."
She sprayed the water, so it washed away the soap on my wings. Finally getting them cleaned felt like a dream.
"Thanks Weiss."
"No problem. Do you want a hand with drying your wings?"
"It's fine, Weiss. That at least I can do, besides, I can sense Ruby and the others getting closer." As if on cue, we both heard a knock on the door.
"Fran, have you seen Weiss. We wanted to ask her something?" Ruby said.
"It's fine Ruby, I'm in here." Weiss said as I sensed Blake burst through the door.
"That's a bit forward for you Weiss. Taking a girl when she's naked, especially one that can't see. I didn't think you were the type." Yang teased.
"That's not true, is it Weiss? You're not taking advantage of Fran?" Ruby quietly mumbled.
"She better not be." Blake growled as I sensed her enter the bathroom.
"I was doing nothing of the sort. I don't think your sister wants to hear your inappropriate comments." Weiss said as I heard Ruby mumble in agreement.
"Then what were you doing with Fran?" Yang asked.
"Yes, that's something I want to know." Blake said coldly.
"I asked her to fetch Blake to come and wash my wings, but she didn't want to bother her since she was with you two." I said explaining to the three.
"Good, I thought you were doing something ... weird with Fran, Weiss." Ruby said as she let out a sigh of relief.
"Was that really all that happened? Nothing steamy?" Yang asked as I felt my face burn up.
"W-What NO! How can you say that? YOUR SISTER is right there?" Weiss cried out.
"It's okay, Weiss. It's nothing I haven't heard before. Yang used to have her ex's over, and they would do... Stuff together."
Blake groaned. "Too much information, Ruby. I didn't want to know about Yang's... Intimate life." Both Weiss and Blake said simultaneously.
"Sorry." Ruby quietly mumbled.
"It's alright Ruby." I said as I patted her shoulder. "Now can I get some privacy."
"Sure, Fran. Just call for us if you need a hand with anything." Blake said as they left and closed the door.
Finally, they were gone. I chuckled to myself. Honestly, being with those four has made me feel grateful, compared to the last couple of years since Mama and Papa were murdered. It's not just them though, Jaune, Pyrrha, Nora, Ren, Coco, Fox, Velvet and Yatsuhashi have made me feel welcome. Even Miss Goodwitch and the Professor have made me feel at home... I'll have to do something to make it up for their kindness. For now, though I better hurry up and get changed, these wings won't dry themselves.
