RWBY: Lex Talionis - Male Reader x Harem (Complete)

Part 106

Today was busier than usual, in more ways than one as well.

Most of the medical equipment surrounding Y/N - those that weren't connected to him - had gone silent. He hoped it was from a healthy discharge and not something more grim.

There was a soft yet plentiful whisper in the air, not from doctors or nurses, but from the outside.

Y/N's recovery had been leaked, and the people who had yet to see him were anticipating his appearance.

He couldn't tell if it was Hunters, the White Fang, civilians, or the media wanting to see him, but if he were to guess it would be all of the above.

His hunch was quickly proven true when he had a new visitor, a particularly suspicious one.

Glynda had gone out to freshen herself up at a nearby inn and snatch a breakfast for them both, leaving a figurative door open for someone new.

Y/N's relaxing period was over when he caught the jittery whisper of a woman, bumping into others on the other side of the wall with hushed excuses.

She rounded the wall fast, as if she was searching each room until she found his.

A nurse peaked in and earned a mildly deadpanned look from Y/N, that's when she jumped in and closed the flap behind her.

Clearing her throat and matting out her uniform, she hummed innocently while scanning the room.

Y/N had a couple run ins with the local nurses, they were kind and appreciative, mostly visiting to check up on him and the machines.

That's where this anomaly failed, she was human and pretended to search nearby tables and containers, supposedly for something along the medical field.

"I didn't know Maya had a human assisting her." Y/N lied, he knew her most trusted nurses and doctors were all faunus.

"Huh?" The nurse jumped, bouncing well done lavender hair over her shoulders. "I'm sorry, were you talking to me?"

"You're the only one here." Y/N replied dryly.

"R-right." She gave an awkward chuckle.

"Well?"

"Hmm?"

"The doctor said you'd have my report." He lied again, an easy trap for rookie criminals or bad liars.

"Of course." She stepped forward, taking his chart from the foot of the bed. "It says here..."

She froze, wide-eyed and confused when the chart was blank.

"What's it say?" Y/N asked, feigning curiosity.

"I-it says..." She cleared her throat. "You're-very healthy."

Y/N grunted in affirmation, he had finally had enough, indicated by his long sigh and relaxed shoulders.

"You're new to this, aren't you?"

She sighed with her shoulders sagging, her bright gold eyes lost a bit of energy as well when he seemed unimpressed.

"What gave it away?" She asked, dejected.

"A lot."

"I consider it a victory, I haven't seen any other interviews with you as of late."

Interview...

"So you're paparazzi."

"Excuse you." She scoffed, offended. "Try journalist. I consider it something more uplifting and enlightening."
