She wasn't expecting much to happen today. After all, they were both exhausted after a week-long mission that was supposed to last only two days.

Yang flopped onto the couch, kicking off her boots onto the floor, she removed Ember Celica and placed it on the small coffee table in front of her.

Blake would've followed suit, but she did not want to land on Yang, who had taken most of the space on the couch already. Instead she shuffled over, removing her bulky clothing and accessories, and gladly slid into Yang's waiting embrace.

Yang sighed contentedly as she felt Blake's body press snugly against hers.

They didn't speak for they were far too tired for conversation, but also wanting to enjoy a moment's peace. It was times like this that reminded them why they were partners on more than a professional level.

Blake's Faunus ears were lax, more compliant with gravity than she normally let them be. To Yang it looked adorable just how floppy Blake's constantly pointed and alert ears seemed.

They laid there listening to each other's breaths, slow and steady with every inhale and exhale.

Blake was first to start drifting away, the sound of Yang's heartbeat lulling her to slumber with its repetitive lullaby.

Figuring it would be uncomfortable to sleep on the couch Yang decided they should vacate to their bedroom. They wouldn't both fit on the couch, and with Yang's tendency to move around in her sleep it probably wouldn't end well either.

Yang nudged Blake awake, just enough so that she could move off the couch. She whispered into Blake's ear, the girl nodding drowsily as she sat up and climbed onto Yang's back.

It was an easy feat to give her a piggy-back ride, and as she moved down the hall to their room Blake settled her head on her shoulder.

There was a low rumble emanating from Blake's throat as she purred unknowingly. Then she did something Yang hadn't expected, Blake rubbed her cheek against Yang's.

It took all of Yang's willpower not to squeal in delight at how cute the action was, something that Blake would be otherwise too embarrassed to do had she been less tired.

Once they made it to the room Yang set Blake down on the bed and climbed in soon after.

Blake curled her body towards Yang's, who once again wrapped her arms around the girl and pulled her close.

Blake snuggled further into the crook of her neck, and soon she was fast asleep. Yang followed after her soon enough, a smile remaining on her lips.
