AN: Just wanna say here that this is my first Bumbleby story. And I wrote this whole thing on my phone so if it seems rushed or there's spelling or grammar faults then that's why. I don't have a computer and that's also why none of my other stories have been updated cause I'd rather get them done properly on a computer. I'm pretty new to writing RWBY, been writing drafts for a while, but hopefully it's readable. Anyway enjoy.
Blake shot up to a sitting position from her bed. Her breathing was ragged and sweat dropped from her brow. She pressed her hand to her forehead, eyes wide in shock and fear. The dream she'd just had was still playing in her mind. One second she'd been fighting the white fang with the others the next Adam had shown up, Ruby and Weiss gone. Yang was the only one at her side, flashing her one of her signature grins before charging at him. She'd wanted to stop her but her body had been stuck.
And she could only watch as Yang fought him alone. Soon the blond was pushed back, laying right in front of Blake with no aura left and she was too weak to use her semblance. Adam had walked up, looking at Blake as he thrust the sword straight into Yang and she could do nothing but watch the light disappear from the violet eyes.
The dream had been so vivid and felt so real Blake still felt the fear and sadness at the sight of losing the blond huntress. She looked up, the top of the bunk bed where Yang was giving off no noise. No wonder, the other three must still be asleep. Blake hugged herself, shaking slightly. The thought of losing anyone in her team scared her but Yang most of all. She'd always been there for her ever since they met. The faunus had come to rely on Yang and there was no denying she loved her. Despite her always making jokes and disturbing her when she was reading. She knew Yang only did it to make her laugh and not feel left out. She felt safe with the blond.
This however brought her dream back to her mind. The sight of Yang on the ground with no life left in her. Blake found herself start to shake again. She had never felt so powerless in her whole life. She knew it was just a dream but the fear of losing Yang was still there.
"Blake?" She blinked and looked up, drowsy violet eyes looking at her. She hadn't even noticed how her body had gotten up from bed to reach up and touch Yang's hand with her own. Like she just wanted to reassure herself Yang was still alive.
"I-I'm sorry Yang I just.. I mean.." She was embarrassed now. She felt silly for feeling like this from a mere dream. Yang however got up on her forearms, looking her face over before smiling gently.
"Had a bad dream?" Blake blushed but nodded. Yang rolled onto her side and lift up her covers, patting the bed beside her. "Wanna comfort yourself a bit in someone else?" She blushed but instead of denying she got up and scooted close to the blond. Yang covered them both with the blanket and looked into Blake's eyes. "Wanna tell me what the dream was about?" Blake bit her lip, eyes dropping as the dream flashed across her mind. Instead of answering she got even closer and buried her face under Yang's chin. "That bad huh.. It's alright Blake, I'm here. Anything that wants to hurt you will have to ask my fists first." Blake could see Yang charging at Adam alone to protect her. But it didn't make her feel better as she grabbed the blond's nightshirt.
"Promise you won't charge in alone.." She mumbled and Yang looked down on her with a raised eyebrow.
"Huh?" Blake started to tremble lightly.
"Promise me you won't leave my side.. Let me protect you too.." Yang was silent for a while, processing the hidden meaning in those words. She then grabbed Blake by the shoulders and pushed her away slightly so she could look into her eyes. The faunus was fighting the urge to cry. Nightmare or not the thought of losing the blond was just a thought she feared more than anything. But the violet eyes smiled at her warmly and their foreheads were pressed together.
"Of course I won't leave you. I'll always have your back Blake, I'm your partner. And naturally, since you're my partner I fully entrust my back to you. That's why I can always go all out. Cause I know if I get in over my head I know you'll be there to either help or pull me out. I'll always be here for you Blake, no matter what you need of me." Blake searched Yang's eyes for any kind of sign that she was lying or hesitating about what she'd just said. But there was nothing but warm affection and honesty in the violet eyes.
The amount of trust Yang had for her was just overwhelming. Yang couldn't care less if she was a faunus or a former member of the White Fang. She accepted everything about Blake and would protect and be there for her no matter what. Blake didn't realize she was crying until Yang's expression turned a bit concerned and warm fingers brushed over her wet cheeks.
"Blake? You okay?" Her dream replayed in her mind once again. She couldn't lose Yang. She just couldn't. Without her noticing Yang had become like a lifeline to the light for her. She'd been pulled out of her shell by this stubborn girl. And if she lost her she wasn't sure how she'd cope. "Blake what's wrong? Something I said? Hey.." Even now Yang tried to comfort her, even thinking she was the cause. Blake buried her face into Yang's shoulder, trying to find the words to try explain that it wasn't Yang's fault she was crying. Not really anyway.
"Y-You were.. Just laying there.. I couldn't do anything.. He just.. S-Sta.. I couldn't.." She wasn't even capable to let out a coherent sentence. "I'm sorry Yang.. I wanted to.. But I couldn't.. And you just.. He kill.." She couldn't say it. But the blond seemed to catch on by herself and she wrapped an arm around Blake's waist tightly while the other went to the back of her head.
"It's alright Blake. I get it. Your nightmare had me, charging in alone, you couldn't move and watched me get killed right?" Blake could only nod while vaguely wondering how she could have guessed so correctly from her blubbering. Yang soon answered that question for her though. "I'll share a secret with you. I've had those kind of nightmares too. About Ruby, Weiss.. But the ones which hit me the hardest, excluding Ruby, are the ones with you in it. Cause just like you Blake I don't want you to charge in alone without me. I can't bare the thought of losing you." Yang held her closer, intertwining their legs so they were almost flush against each other.
Blake couldn't feel more warm and safe as she did then. It was like being wrapped in her own sun. A sun that refused to let her get rained on no matter how big the stormcloud. At some point Yang had untied her bow, freeing her cat ears. Warm fingers scratched softly around the base making her even more relaxed. By this point she'd stopped crying and was just relishing in Yang's warmth. A low rumble started to make it's way up her chest and Yang chuckled.
"I'll take that as a sign you feel better." Blake rarely ever purred. But now she felt so safe and content that she couldn't help it. She felt a bit dazed and she lift her head off Yang's shoulder to face her. The blond just grinned at her. It was a cheeky grin, obviously proud of herself for getting Blake to purr for the first time. This made Blake blush a bit and tried to think of a way to get back at her. Though her body reacted more to the love and affection she felt for Yang at the moment.
So she leaned up a little, placing a soft kiss to the brawler's lips. There was a moment of stillness but she soon felt Yang press down. This made Blake purr a bit louder and she felt Yang's lips curve to a smile. The kiss lasted for just a few seconds and when they separated Blake was in pure bliss. However she noticed the smirk making its way up Yang's lips and knew what that meant.
"Yang if you pull a cat pun I'm going to leave." She said as she glanced into the violet eyes. There was a sign of disappointment but she shrugged and held Blake around the waist.
"Talk about cat got your tongue.. Wait.. Shit-Blake I swear that one just slipped out I didn't mean it to!" Blake rolled her eyes and settled with putting her head under Yang's chin with her arms wrapped loosely around her waist.
"Lucky for you I just got comfortable then." Yang let out a breath of relief and nuzzled her nose into the black hair. "Thanks Yang.. For being here when I need you.." The blond just grinned and kissed the top of her head.
"Anytime kitten." They soon fell asleep, any nightmare or dark thoughts wanting to reach Blake getting obliterated by a bright and warm light surrounding her. Yang only regretted one thing from that night. That she hadn't made Blake promise not to leave her side either.
Me: Soooo.. *cough* Hehe.. Guess who got pulled into the RWBY hype?
Blake: You did.
Me: Ah Blake always the blunt one.. Wait.. Great now you and Yang are gonna be the ones who talk to me here. At least in the Bumbleby stories, might have some White Rose too.
Blake: Well it wouldn't make sense if it was anyone else.
Me: Point taken. Anywho.. So like I said before this is my first Bumbleby story. And I felt like I should say that I kind of have another chapter for this but it's played out after season 4. Kind of like a continuation of the last sentences in this story. It's not done and honestly it probably ain't that good. (wasn't meant to be a continuation of this story but I thought it might fit.)
Yang: Just get to the point.
Me: Right, well I wanted to ask you guys if you want a continuation of this or if you'd just want another one-shot instead. Or if you want I can continue this one with a chapter that starts the next morning or something. And that's it.. I'll put this on complete for now.
Yang: I call being the one to say bye!
Blake: Fine, I'll say to leave a review with your thoughts and do answer Wolf's question. You can send an PM if You don't feel like reviewing.
Me: Do tell me if you want more Bumbleby from me or if you want me to stop q.q And don't worry I haven't given up on my other stories it's just a bit slow right now. And Bumbleby was the break I needed.
Yang: *pulls Blake into a bear hug* See you next time hopefully.
