The dark void of nothingness vanished behind the wooden door frame. Moments later, said door completely imploded, being sucked in as if by a black hole. Surprisingly, Amber was not as shocked about where they were: Beacon. Inside their formerly shared bedroom. The bright moon crept through the shadows of the room, coming in from the singular window on bedside wall. The faunus looked around room, her animal grey-vision helping her see through the darkness. Beyond the furniture, nothing was in the room.
Murasaki had to be somewhere, or perhaps Omni had decided to let Amber go and her companions were still in his world, to forever be pawns of his game chess. She fumbled around her hoodie pocket and felt the Omnilium orb shuffle around in the fabric. A sigh of relief fell over her breath but a feeling subtle dispar crosses her heart. Glad to be with her friends still, not glad they’re still in this world.
Putting her thoughts behind her, the faunus continued her search for the one she loved. Walking past the beds in the room, towards the door, something caught her foot. What they said about cats landing on their feet, this did not apply to faunus. She collapsed onto her shoulder, hitting the wood with a loud thump.
“Are you alright Amber?” The familiar voice split through the dark room. Murasaki had been laying on the floor like he did back in her pre-Omniverse career. He did this so there was enough space for them in the room, and left the beds open to the three ladies he worked with. “Sorry, I really should lay closer to the wall so that doesn't happen. Are you hurt?” He whispered, as if Bianca and Rose were there, but a quick inspection saw that they were not.
“I'm fine,” the catgirl said rubbing her shoulder and sitting up to face her friend.”I didn't see you laying there, I should've been more careful.” The faunus eyed the wooden floor with discontent. She wanted to throw herself on him and let herself be happy, but her anxious mind ceaselessly debated against it. She wanted her relationship with Murasaki to stay good, and it is good as friends. The thought of seeing her lose her best friend made it difficult to try and take a step in advancing that relationship.
Murasaki gave her a questioning glance, although she did not see it staring into the floor. “Is everything alright Amber? Something is on your mind. I can tell. So talk to me about it.” The young man reached in and hugged her. The fuanus, at first denied returning the gesture until her emotions nearly had her puking up her guts. She threw her arms around the dark haired boy and began to cry.
“Please help me.” She said, tears dripping into his shoulder. Her face was too dark to see but Murasaki could hear Amber sniveling over his shoulder. “I'm so emotionally strung up that I can't even function properly. Every time I think of you I want to cry. I want to be more to you but I don't want to risk losing my best friend over a relationship if things go south. I'm so confused right now ‘Saki!”
Rubbing the girl’s back to comfort her, he sighed. “Just calm down Amber. I know you have feelings for me. I couldn't force you to tell me, so I waited. I want you to know that I have the same feelings for you.”
The young woman wanted to cry more, but instead she pulled herself off her friend’s shoulder. She wiped away the falling tears from her cheek and took a deep breath to control her breathing again. The teenagers awkwardly sat in front of each other for a moment, glancing to the sides like they were trying to hide flushed cheeks. Finally, Amber gave up trying to hide it.
“Murasaki.” She said quietly in the dark, still glancing away.
“Yeah?”
The faunus turned her fiery red eyes to the calm green eyes of her friend. Choking and stuttering on words at first, she finally coughed up the three words she had wanted to tell him for over a decade. “I love you.”
The two naturally leaned into each other, moving in to kiss. Amber was so happy she was about to cry. Just before they had met lips, however, Amber awoke on the dusty ground, with a massive migraine. She sat and rubbed her head, clanging something against her skull. Was something in her hand?
