WARNING: Feels.

Blake shot up in her bed, breathing heavy. She looked at the clock.

4:03

Blake groaned and got up, careful not to wake Yang who was lying on the other side of the bed on her stomach. Blake didn't remember Yang climbing into the bed but she probably just lost track of time on her late night run and came in after Blake fell asleep.

Blake went to the kitchen and grabbed a mug. She started the water to boil and grabbed a teabag. She hoped some tea would help her get back to sleep.

...

Wait.

Why couldn't she sleep again?

Blake watched the numbers on the timer countdown as she tried to remember why she had woken up at such an early hour.

3.

The timer hit the number and Blake went to go get it before it went off as to not wake Yang.

2.

Blake froze.

1.

Yang.

'The grimm had them surrounded. Weiss was injured and couldn't walk, Ruby was unconscious, Blake struggled to stand straight after a nasty hit to the head and Yang had bruises already forming all over her body and was breathing heavily. The fiery blonde was standing in front of her teammates, firing off rounds and trying to hold off the monsters until help arrived.

It wasn't supposed to be like this.

It was supposed to be a simple scouting mission, looking for a small pack of 5 that'd come too close to a town.

They'd found out that 5 was actually 30 very quickly.

Yang turned her head to look at her teammates. Her body trembled in fear but her stance remained strong and flames licked at her hair.

Blake thought she resembled a dragon at that moment.

Yang met her eyes. Gold stared into red before Yang blinked and just like that the lilac was back. "Take care of them." she yelled at Blake and grimly smiled. Blake's eyes widened.

No...

'I love you.' Yang mouthed at Blake before blinking the red back into place and turning around to face the horde.

With a mighty battle cry, the fighter launched herself at the Grimm and a giant burst of flames swept into the air, felt and seen by those all around the valley.

It drowned out the broken cry of a now alone faunus.'

Blake leaned onto the counter with shaky knees and tears streaming down her face. She stared at the timer.

0.

She ran back to her bedroom.

She collapsed to the floor and sobbed.

There was no one else in the bed.
