Blake enjoyed these times. Times like when she and her girlfriend would be in Blake's room. Blake would be reading or doing homework, and Yang would be cuddled up against her, more than likely asleep. Blake looked to the sleeping blonde, letting out a soft chuckle, shaking her head. She swore Yang was narcoleptic sometimes. Falling asleep in the class. The weird thing was that the teachers never seemed to mind it. She was new to the school this year, and Yang did seem to have a friendship with most of her teachers. So maybe Yang was always like this and they kinda just gave up on trying to keep Yang awake. She did manage to get good grades even without doing the homework. Something that always baffled Blake.

Yang kept swearing that the sleeping issue was because she would stay up until the ass end hours of the morning playing video games. Which also wouldn't surprise Blake. Yang doesn't really broadcast it, but she is in fact a very geeky individual. Having a large collection of video games and comic books. And on more than one occasion, Blake had ended up wearing one of Yang's Star Wars tee shirts to bed after she would leave them at her house because it smelt like Yang.

Blake looked over to the clock, sighing when she saw the time. She would have to be sending Yang home here in a few minutes. They had school the next morning and it was already almost midnight. She marked the page of her book, putting it on her nightstand before poking Yang's cheek. "Hey, sleeping beauty… wake up." Yang grumbled something incoherent before pulling herself closer to the faunus. Blake rolled her eyes, poking the blonde's cheek again. "Yang, get up. We have school tomorrow. You gotta go home."

"Can't I just stay here?" Yang manages to mumble out, tightening her hold on Blake. Opening one eye to her girlfriend, a hopeful look on her face.

Rolling her eyes again, Blake gave the girl a small smile. "As much as I'd love that, Yang, we can't. You know how we are. We'd get… distracted."

This caused Yang to smile, and she let out a small giggle. "Damn right we would."

Shaking her head again, the faunus runs her fingers through Yang's golden locks. "We need sleep. You need sleep."

"I just slept," Yang grumbles out.

"You need real sleep, Yang. Not just a nap."

The blonde sighs, moving into a sitting position. "Alright, fine."

"You know I don't think staying up late and playing games is the reason you're so tired Yang, I think it may be part of the reason, but most people would be used to it by now," Blake states, watching as a nervous look appears in Yang's lilac eyes.

"I'm fine, Blake. Don't worry yourself over me…"

"But I do worry. I'm your girlfriend, Yang." she reaches a hand forward, caressing Yang's cheek. "You can tell me anything."

The blonde sighs, smiling as she leans into Blake's touch. "I know, and everything is fine, Blake. Nothing is wrong. In fact, things are perfect."

She didn't buy the girl's words but reluctantly decided to accept it for now. Blake knew that Yang would tell her when she was ready. It's clear it was a sensitive topic to the blonde. "Okay, it's fine." she gives Yang a small smile before getting up to her feet. Yang following suit. She walked her girlfriend to the door, giving her a quick kiss before sending Yang on her way. She watched as Yang climbed into her old beat up truck. The vehicle making a loud rumble upon starting, getting louder as she began to accelerate. The sound diminished soon though as Yang drove off.

Walking back inside, Blake looked to her mother who was smiling at her. "What?" Blake asked, confused by her mother's expression.

Her mother looked back to her book. "Oh nothing sweetie, you two are just cute."

Blake turned a light shade of pink, pulling up the collar of the hoodie she stole from Yang up to her nose. Trying to hide her blush. "T-thanks mom…" she stuttered out, embarrassed before walking back to her room. Her mom giggling as she walks off.

The next morning was strange. Normally Yang would have messaged her to ask her who was driving today and give her a good morning. Blake let out a sigh and sat on the armrest of the couch, waiting for Yang to message her. She started to worry when she started calling Yang's phone and there was no answer.

Fed up, Blake grabbed her bag and threw it in her car, driving over the Yang's house. Once there, she saw her girlfriend's truck was still parked in the driveway. She grumbled to herself about Yang staying up late as she got out of her car. Blake made her way up to the house and began pounding on the front door, yelling out Yang's name. "Yang! Get your ass out of bed! I told you not to stay up late!" No answer. After a few more attempts, the faunus gave up, stalking back to her car, still grumbling. Getting in her car, she relaxed into the seat.

"Maybe she caught a ride with Weiss and Ruby." She lifted her phone, looking at her last message from Yang that was from yesterday about hanging out. "No. That makes no sense. She would have said something to me." her worry began to grow, but she quickly tried to squash it. "She's probably at school. Maybe she woke up in pissy mood. Had car troubles. Something..." Blake groaned as she started up her car, pulling out of the driveway and heading off to school.

Once at school, she was concerned to find Yang absent from their first class. Goodwitch didn't seem to concerned by it though. She just let out a small sigh and marked Yang absent. Normally when a student was absent or late she would grumble something about them being lazy. Maybe it had to do with the fact that Yang always slept in class and that she just didn't care or wasn't surprised by it.

As the day wore on slowly, Blake could hardly stay focused. She figured she would've heard something by now. Walking down the hall to lunch, she was pulled from her thoughts by someone calling her from behind. She turned her head to see Ruby jogging over to her. Finally. Maybe she could finally get some answers. Turning the rest of the way she didn't even wait for Ruby to stop before asking about Yang. "Ruby, where the hell is your sister?"

When Ruby stopped, she caught her breath for half a second before speaking. "That's why I'm here, Blake." Blake raised an eyebrow, concern still on her face. Ruby began to nervously gnaw on her lip. "It's Yang, Blake. She's in the hospital."

Blake's eye widened in terror. "What? W-what do you mean?"

"Dad had to take her there really really early this morning. She's really sick, Blake. Well, she has been really sick." Ruby played with the hem of her shirt, not wanting to make eye contact with her sister's girlfriend.

Blake's thoughts were racing. What did Ruby mean by sick? What was wrong with her? But most importantly… "is she okay?"

Ruby shook her head. "I dunno… I haven't heard from dad yet…" Ruby began to gnaw on her lip again. "She never told you then, did she?" Blake shook her head. "Makes sense. She doesn't even like to admit to herself."

"Ruby, what do you…" Ruby cut her off.

"I bet she told you it's because She's up late playing games all night… why she tired all the time. Am I right?" Blake nods, trying to say something only to be cut off again. "That's half the truth. She does do that sometimes. Really it's because her body is trying to fight it."

"Ruby!" Blake exclaimed a bit of desperation in her voice. "Please tell me. What the hell are you talking about?! What's wrong with Yang?!"

Ruby let out another sigh, biting hard into her lip before speaking. Her voice cracking as she does. "Blake… Yang is dying."
