A/N So this is a story I wrote almost two years ago and deleted out of embarrassment but I've stopped caring about what other people might think so I'm reuploading it. However i've decided not to reupload the last chapter because it was rushed and needlessly angsty, but if you would like me to write a new ending or a new story please leave comments with suggestions for what you would like.
She turned around just in time to watch the Beowolf crash into her before she fell to the ground, completely limp, and, as she was slowly fading out of consciousness, she heard Yang screaming out her name in horror, and felt the sting of regret before blacking out completely, Yang got over her immidiate shock quickly, and ran towards the Beowulf, Weiss and Ruby both laying unconscious on the ground next to two dead Ursa, powerless to help. Yang jumped on top of the monster, landing on it's back, and in one swift movement, shot it twice in the head with each of her gauntlets and snapped its neck. Yang immediately jumped off and rushed over to Blake.
" Blake" Yang howled when she realised that her partner wasn't moving " Come on, Blake!" She shook her violently, trying to get any kind of response from her comatose teammate, "You have to be ok cause if you're not I swear to God I'll kill you." Blake opened her eyes and gave Yang a weak smile before passing out again. Thank god, Yang thought to herself, now that she knew Blake was ok, she sighed in relief, Yang realised in that moment just how concerned she was for Blake, 'Its just because were partners, don't be stupid' Yang thought to herself, stopping for a moment to think about the possibility of it being something more, a smile on her face as she entertained the thought. Yang stopped herself, and frowned, pushing the idea into the depths of her mind, knowing that even if she did have feelings for Blake, it couldn't ever amount to anything since Blake would never love someone like her. Yang shook herself back into reality, and realised that Blake needed medical attention, she then turned and ran over to her sister and Weiss, shaking them awake, and helping them up. Together the three were able to carry their teammate back to Beacon. The girls rushed Blake into the school hospital, and from there Blake was given a bed and a physical from the doctor.
"She has a minor broken leg and a severe concussion, she most likely won't remember what happened and she might be a little out of it because of the painkillers she's on " the doctor explained to them, " She should wake up soon, if you want to speak with her," and the doctors words rang true, as Blake woke up not fifteen minutes later at 6 PM. When Blake awakened and saw three figures standing over her she screamed and reached for her weapon, which of course was not there, the three girls quickly calmed Blake, telling her that it was just her them, her teammates, and that she was in a hospital. When she finally calmed down the doctor walked back in and explained to Blake what had happened and what her injuries were.
After hearing what had happened, she spoke, "I'm feeling really tired..." She said, "Is it ok if I just head home and go back to bed...?" Blake mumbled sleepily. The doctor cleared her, but explained to the team that one of them would need to stay with her and wake her up every fifteen minutes for the first half of the night so about till 1 AM to make sure her brain swell up and didn't shut down.
Weiss frowned, and when asked what was wrong, she explained, "It's just that now Ruby and I will miss our date at Acquerello, it's not that big a deal, but those reservations were really hard to get." Weiss and Ruby had been openly dating for several months now but were usually too busy to do anything with each other. Ruby turned and chastised her partner saying their friend was more important than dinner.
" No, its ok, I know how long you've been planning this, you guys go on your date, I can watch Blake" Yang said nervously "In fact" she continued hestinantly, "If you guys don't want to, you don't have to come home at all, heaven knows you two could do with some alone time." Ruby blushed and tried arguing with her sister but Yang kept insisting, and eventually Weiss and Ruby left for their date.
"Thank you" Blake said softly "I really appreciate this Yang"
Yang replied quickly with a hint of a blush "Of course, I wouldn't have it any other way."
Blake grinned and said " In that case, could you hand me some more pain pills?" Yang read the back of the prescription bottle to see if it was ok, and, deciding it was, threw the pills and a bottle of water to Blake, warning her to only take three and that she couldn't take anymore till morning. Blake nodded and took all three pills and soon after fell back asleep. Yang stared at the sleeping faunus, watching her chest rise and fall as Blake breathed gently, marveling howpeaceful she looked when sleeping, she then realised she was staring at her teammate, and hastily turned away. Fifteen minutes later Yang woke Blake up, and asked her how she was feeling
" Fine" Blake muttered as she scowled at Yang. Yang apoligised but explained that she had to. Blake nodded and said good night before falling back asleep. Yang repeated this cycle till about 10 PM, as when she woke her up, Blake was unable to fall back asleep. Blake started acting strange, and, wondering why, Yang read the side effects on the prescription bottle, and found that it warned of INSOMNIA, IMPAIRED JUDGEMENT, and MEMORY LOSS. Yang bit the inside of her cheek when she read impaired judgment, becoming much more nervous than she already was, and was snapped out of her thought process when she heard Blake call her name.
" What is it?" Yang replied.
"Talk to me, I'm bored and I can't sleep and want some company" Blake answered. Yang breathed deeply as she looked over at her partner. Blake was sprawled out across her bed hugging her pillow with the blankets only half covering her. Yang thought of how lucky she as to have such an amazing partner, and how much she wanted to lov- 'No.' Yang reprimanded herself, 'I do not love Blake' she couldn't let that happen; we're just friends and thats all we're ever going to be. Yang calmed herself down before she walked over to Blake and the two made small chat for about half an hour. Then suddenly Blake hushed her tone and asked " Yang can you keep a secret"
Yang stared at Blake for a few seconds before saying " Of course Blake, we're Teamates, I trust you with my life, you can tell me anything you need to."
Blakes eyes narrowed, and she whispered "You have to swear you won't tell anyone what I am going tell you, not even Weiss or Ruby." Yangs eyes widened, and she swore on her life that she would never tell a soul. Blake looked around the room as if to make sure no one was in with them.
" Yang..." She hesitated "I'm... I'm bisexual" Yang was at a complete loss for words. She tried to stop herself from getting too excited, but her heart was soaring. She had a chance maybe not a great chance but a chance for her hopes to come true, but as much as those words made Yang happy, the next ones took it all away.
" Yang, I'm in love with someone" Blake said, shaking, "She's funny... And beautiful... and absolutely wonderful."
Yang was grief stricken "who?" she asked, blinking away tears.
Blake leaned over slowly, lookeddeeply into Yangs eyes, and whispered, "It's you" and kissed Yang before She had a second to react. Feelings of Relief, Happiness, and Shock flooded her mind as she struggled to come to terms with the fact that the girl she had loved since she had first seen her reading when Yang was trying to help Ruby make friends, felt the same way about her. When Blake pulled back and saw Yang's surprised face she mistook it for disgust, and nearly threw up with regret, "I'm so sorry Yang... I don't know what's going on with me.. I'm so sorry... I told you that if you want we can both forget that this happened, I know you deserve and want better than me..." Blake said sobbing.
."Blake stop, there is no one I care more about and love as much as I love you." Yang said, her mind ravaged by emotions, "I love you so much and I couldn't possibly do any better than you."
Blake's sobbs stopped before being replaced with tears of joy. " Yang... Come closer.." Blake said, wrapping her arms around Yang's neck.
As much as Yang wanted to jump into bed with her, she knew it wasn't the right thing to do " I'm sorry Blake, but I don't want to take advantage of you... I think the drugs are messing with your head."
Blake sighed sadly, and replied "Ok... maybe tomorrow then...?"
Yang smiled so big it looked like her face would tear " Nothing would make me happier." Yang hugged her tightly, and looked at the clock, seeing that it was 1:30 AM. She turned to Blake and said " You should try and get some sleep since I won't have to wake you up any more" Blake nodded and they both tried to go back to sleep, even though both of them were them were too busy thinking about each other to relax, it took quite a while, but they eventually did drift off to sleep.
The next morning Yang woke up and immediately walked over to Blake's bed. She decided to let Blake sleep for a little longer, And sat down, looking at the faunus, thinking about how lucky she was to have such a perfect girl to love her. When Blake finally woke up, Yang grinned at her but before she could say a word Blake jolted up, looking around the room with a confused expression and asked "Where am I...? How did I get here?!." Yang remembered the memory loss side effect and explained her injuries before asking
" Do you remember anything from last night...? Yang asked her nervously. Blake shook her head no in response, and with that simple, innocent gesture, Yang's heart shattered.
