Yang woke up and stretched. She heard her sister give and snort and saw her silhouette roll over. Weiss was asleep too with a book draped across her chest. Yang looked at Zwei at the end of her bed, who was now waking up to. He gave a big yawn and looked at Yang and wagged his little stub. She patted her lap and he hopped on it. She scuffed his head and then held him.

'Stupid to be nervous,' she thought to herself. 'Grimm are worse than this.' But she hugged Zwei a little tighter. He looked up at her and gave her a lick. She wiped it off and let Zwei go.

She looked down from her bottom bunk. Blake wasn't there.

"You're good," she told Zwei.

He hopped down and, somehow, landed gracefully on his little legs. He then quickly trotted over to the door and looked at Yang. She sighed and hopped down, a little less gracefully. Ruby snorted and muttered something but didn't wake. Yang opened the door and she and Zwei headed out.

'I've gotta say something to her,' Yang thought. 'I mean yeah it'll be awkward but I think we'll be okay.'

She opened the doors leading outside and Zwei rushed out. Yang sat down on one of the benches. It was a little cold but not much. She started fiddling with her hair as she watched the little corgi sniff out a good spot.

Suddenly the door behind her opened and her reflexes kicked in, making her stand up and get in a fighting stance.

"Eep!" a blonde boy squeaked putting a shield up.

"Oh hey Jaune," Yang said relaxing.

"Yang?" He said looking over the shield.

Yang waved a bit and tapped the shield. "What's the shield for?" she asked and then have him a look over.

He was wearing his armor. Jaune put his shield away and looked at the ground.

"Gotcha," Yang said sitting back down.

"So what're you doing?" Jaune asked.

"Bathroom break," Yang replied.

"Huh?" She pointed to Zwei who was now marking his territory. "Oh! Okay I thought you meant-" he covered his mouth but Yang wasn't paying attention. She was fiddling with her hair again.

"What's up?" Jaune asked. Yang didn't reply and looked forward. "Gotcha." He said sitting down.

Zwei came back and sat next to Jaune. They all sat their for a while in silence.

"I still suck at fighting," Jaune finally said sounding a bit defeated.

"Well you're definitely better than beginning of the year," Yang responded.

"You sure?" Jaune asked. "Yeah. Now you can at least block a hit before getting decked."

Jaune hung his head. Yang punched him in the arm. "Ow," Jaune muttered. Yang chuckled.

"So what's on your mind?" Jaune asked.

"Just stuff." Yang responded.

"Anything I can help with?"

"Pff I wish."

"Well can I try?"

Yang looked at Jaune and then looked back at the sky. There was a moment of silence.

"How'd you ask Weiss out?"

"Huh?"

"What made you think she'd say yes?"

"You mean for that dance?"

"Yeah."

"Oh, well, I didn't know if she would say yes or no at all," Jaune said shrugging.

"Then why'd you ask?" Yang said.

"Um," Jaune thought for a moment. "Because I wanted to know?"

Yang looked at him confused. Jaune looked confused too.

"I guess," Jaune said "I thought it would be better knowing how she really felt about me rather than making up some 'what if' scenario. And even though she didn't say yes, I at least had an answer."

Yang looked at him for a bit and laughed.

"What?" Jaune asked sounding defensive. Yang punched him again and stood. Zwei hopped up too.

"You're as much of a kid as I thought," Yang said.

"What's that supposed to mean?" he asked.

"Thanks Jaune," Yang said giving him a smile. Jaune looked taken aback.

Yang headed inside. She was about to pass by the showers but the door almost smacked her in the face.

She stopped quickly and Zwei bumped into her legs and let out a surprised "Yip!"

The door quickly shut and there was Blake clutching shampoo and a towel her eyes wide. They softened when she saw it was Yang.

"Hey," she said.

'I hate irony and whoever is writing this so much,' Yang thought to herself.

"Hey!" Yang said a little loudly. Zwei gave a happy bark when he saw Blake and Blake quickly glared at him.

"Zwei," Yang said motioning down the hall.

Zwei smiled and headed down the hall, back to the room. Blake continued glaring until he went around the corner.

Yang felt her face grow warm. Blake was only in her pajamas, that really didn't leave much to the imagination and Yang had a very good imagination.

"You ready for that test?" Blake asked, walking back to the room while drying her hair.

"Huh?" Yang said coming back to earth. "Oh, the test? I mean yeah, kind of," Yang was getting flustered. 'Stupidstupidstupid!'

Blake started speaking again "I know most of Haven's history but Atlas'-"

"DO YOU WANNA GO OUT?" Yang suddenly shouted.

Blake stopped.

Yang stopped too.

Blake was wide eyed.

Yang was blushing.

"You're...um," Blake faltered.

Yang looked down at the ground. "I... really really like you in a...I like the way you purr in your sleep." It was Blake's turn to blush. "I think it's adorable when you rub your cheek on a book you like." Blake blushed harder. "Blake I don't know how it feels to love someone other than family," Yang said starting to breathe heavy. "And I don't know what to say when I'm around you. I know what I feel but I don't know how to describe it either." Her breathing grew heavier and her hair began to glow "I think it's love but I don't know and that makes me so..."

Yang stopped because she just realized Blake was holding her and stroking her hair. She also realized her semblance was active. She never felt Blake touch her and now she noticed they were sitting. She breathed to calm herself. They sat there and Yang's semblance went away. After a few moments Blake spoke.

"I know a pretty good café," she said turning Yang's head slightly. "Would that be a good place to go?"

Yang was silent and then smiled. Then she put a hand on Blake's cheek. She leaned in. They kissed. It wasn't hard. It was gentle. This surprised Blake. The gentleness was something... different. A side she hasn't seen in Yang. And Blake found another thing in Yang she liked. They stopped and touched foreheads.

"That was..." Blake said.

"Yeah," Yang said.

Yang looked over Blake's shoulder and started chuckling.

"What?" Blake said turning. Then she saw their audience.

Nora was squatting with her head in her hands in nothing but a towel staring right at them.

"If Ren hadn't taken my phone," Nora said with a big old smile, "I would've had so many new contact photos for you two!"

Blake was red in the face but Yang hugged her tight.

"So yeah," Yang said to Nora "We may be a thing now."

"Fuckin finally," Nora said.
