"I'll call you every night, and you can text me whenever you want, I'll always make time for you"
Blake squeezed back as the warm arms of her lover tightened around her, placing a gentle kiss on her neck, she withdrew, only to find herself in a deeper, passionate kiss that sent waves of heat through her being.
The Airport Terminal was bustling, arrivals and departures filtering in and out, family and friends populating the waiting area, saying teary farewells and eagerly anticipating their loved ones return. Blake was the former, Yang was leaving, not forever, but for two months, two agonising months she would train with some of the finest female boxers in the world at a camp hosted by Mistrali champion boxer Arslan Altan, whom Yang had met during one of the Vale championships.
Left dizzy she could only smile dimly as her girlfriend grinned at her, lilac eyes shimmering in the light, Blake caught her breath,
"I'll take good care of Ruby", Yang smirked.
"She'll take good care of you too kitten".
Yang glanced over at her younger sister, fiddling with the hem of her cardigan as she bounced with nervous energy.
Ruby Rose, Yang's younger sister was nineteen, and despite her genius level intellect still retained the energy and wonder of a child, loving and caring freely, working tirelessly, and afraid of being separated from her big sister for so long.
"She'll just be a little out of it, feed her lots of hugs and the occasional kiss, she'll be back too normal in no time", Blake chuckled.
"I don't give the same hugs you do…or kisses".
Blake fell back into the hug, letting the tip of her bow flick against Yang's chin, who chuckled, planting a kiss on one of her concealed ears while rubbing circles on her back, prompting a soft purr.
"Ruby will appreciate them no matter what, she loves you almost as much as I do, remember when you left the lipstick mark on her temple?", Blake giggled,
"She refused to wipe it off before work, then came back late covered in hickeys, I think I made Weiss jealous".
"Yea, but the mark was still there, which was adorable, 'Nooo Weiss Blakey gave it to me don't rub it away!' and Weiss is like 'Fine! If you love it so much I'll just rub every other part of you!'", Blake and Yang both burst into laughter.
They settled into a comfortable silence, Blake breathing in the lingering scent of motorcycle fumes that clung to her jacket, Yang the gentle lavender of her shampoo.
"Promise me you won't just stay cooped up in that apartment", Blake pulled back to meet her partners concerned gaze.
"You know how I feel about being in public Yang", Blake complained.
Blake's anxiety was fickle, a difficult childhood and troubled teenage years fostering a fear of crowds, loud noise and strange company. She preferred the solitude of a good book over most social interactions, but had learned to make exceptions for Yang and Ruby, who had wormed their way into her heart with time and persistence, especially Yang, her partner, her lover for life.
"I do kitten, I do, but Ruby won't be able to keep you company as much as I can, I know how you get when you're alone, please don't do that to yourself".
"What about you? Training camp, surrounded by beautiful, strong women…", Yang cut her off with a kiss.
Blake was possessive by nature, something Yang loved about her, it showed the depths of her attachment, that the formerly stoic and aloof woman now openly expressed her insecurities, instead of bottling them up.
"I will never go behind your back Blake, I'll look, oh god I'll look but I'll never touch without your permission, I promise you, I belong to you", Blake smiled before gently pushing away.
"You should probably give Ruby that kiss and cuddle now, she's been such a good girl, giving us our privacy", Yang planted another kiss on her forehead, before jogging over to her sister, scooping her up in a big hug.
"Ugh, Yang love hurts!", She croaked.
"Death by love, the only way to go!", Yang growled playfully.
"Nooooooo I'm too young! I haven't gotten married or had kids yet!", At this Yang gasped dramatically, dropping a wheezing Ruby.
"The filth that comes from your mouth Ruby Rose! I'm not ready to be a auntie!".
"Well too bad, I'm gonna have a girl called Yin, and two years later another girl called Garnet! And Yin will be the best big sister ever because you'll teach her your ways!", Yang faltered.
Yang had raised Ruby nearly single handedly since they were children. With their mothers gone, their father too withdrawn to be of help, it fell to their Uncle Qrow to support them until Yang could do so herself, after which he delved back into his work, rarely surfacing for a quick monthly call to ensure they were doing well.
Yang and Ruby had grown incredibly close as a result, closer so than most would consider appropriate, they were more than just sisters, Yang was never relegated to a motherly role, they took care of each other equally, with Yang working tirelessly to support Ruby through school, and Ruby maintaining their apartment home, cooking, cleaning and making sure Yang didn't have to worry about anything more than necessary.
Ruby never resented her role, in fact she relished it, making a game of it, taking pleasure in it, singing and dancing as she moved from chore to chore, gladly serving her role in their lives. For Ruby nothing was more satisfying than helping others, no matter how big or small the deed.
"Only you could make teen pregnancy heartwarming, come here", Ruby jumped back into her sister's arms, which were much more gentle this time.
"I'm gonna miss you", murmured Ruby.
"I'll miss you too sis…you gonna be ok? Weiss isn't gonna eat you while I'm gone?", Yang teased.
"No more than usual, it's Blakey I'm worried about", Ruby glanced at her sister's partner, who was gazing at the departure times, biting her lip.
"Try and get her out of the apartment, yea? Get her to meet Pyrrha or Weiss or something, anything, just…take care of her Rubes, like I would", Yang felt a tremble in her voice.
"You sure?"
"Positive, Blake loves me, and she loves you, she just needs a little push, build her confidence up, maybe this is it", Ruby smiles, and plants a kiss on Yang's cheek, she responds in kind.
"I love you Yang"
"I love you too Ruby"
"Goodbye Yang, have fun", Blake kissed Yang a final time before pulling away.
"Take pictures! And tell Arslan I'm thinking of her!", Ruby half-joked as Yang gave her another bearhug.
"I make sketchy promises. Try not to burn the place down while I'm gone, Kitten…", Yang teased, Blake grimaced, her bow flattening slightly.
Early in the relationship, Yang and Ruby had been awoken by smoke alarms blaring, finding a groggy and panicking Blake clutching her sensitive ears as she stumbled about, the stove aflame. Blake had claimed to be brewing tea, but was still half asleep, and must have spilled something flammable near the burner. After which she fell back asleep, looking for too cute for the sisters to be mad at.
"It was one time, and I was hungover", she deadpanned.
"One time too many, at least we know you can't hold your liquor", Yang laughed, Blake swatted her shoulder.
"Go on, get going, before I claw you a new one…I love you"
"I love you too, both of you, take care of eachother!"
Blake and Ruby waved as Yang made her way down the boarding corridor and out of sight, Ruby slid her hand into Blake's, who smiled down at her.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine Blakey, it's just gonna be weird for a while…well all the time really, knowing she won't be picking me up from work from now on, no bear hugs before bed…no Yang walking around after a shower with only a towel on her head", Ruby giggled.
Yang was far from modest, the sisters had little issue with eachothers nudity, or nudity in general, showering toweling off while holding casual conversation, holding duets . But Blake was in for a shock with how casual they were, not that she complained, about Yang at least, no matter how much Yang waved it off Blake never felt right looking at her sister's body, she felt it was a betrayal of sorts.
"Ugh, don't remind me, the highlight of my afternoons", Blake grumbled.
"Don't worry, I'll do it for her, I just need some bigger boobs", With her free hand, Ruby jiggled one of her small mounds.
"Stop that, we're in public Ruby", Blake blushed and bumped Ruby with her hip.
"Getting flustered there Blakey?", Ruby teased, smirking.
"You'll make Weiss jealous again", Blake warned.
"Good, I love it when she's jelly", Ruby purred.
"What am I going to do with you Ruby Rose?", Blake sighed exasperatedly.
"Terrible, awful things mistress?", Ruby teased, earning her another hip bump.
"Bad girl", Ruby giggled as they made their way out of the terminal.
Living with the sisters taught her one thing, these women had no shame, and no filter, and it was growing on her too much for her own good.
