(Summary: it is day two for Blake living in her new flat, and she finds out that she has new guests!)Blake awoke after a pleasant night's sleep. Soft grey daylight dully lights up her room. She rolls over to pick up her phone from her bedside table.
1:38pm.
Oh, for fuck sake. Blake face palmed with both of her hands and groaned. She had wanted to go into town and get some stuff done early. Despite every fibre of her being telling her to stay in bed for five more minutes, Blake grudgingly rolled out of bed, fished out some clean underwear, a plain white shirt and some black skinny jeans, and jumped in the shower, washing as fast as she could. She barely dried herself, flew on her clothes, slipped on her boots and her leather jacket, and headed out towards town
oo0oo"…here are your keys. You two enjoy your stay!"
The woman from reception who had guided Yang and Ruby to her new room left them with a smile. The sisters dropped both of their own suitcases on the floor, and Ruby sat herself on one of the tall chairs that surrounded the breakfast bar, while Yang sprawled out on one of the couches. She looked up at her little sister - who was fishing through her bag pack for tea and milk – and smiled. This was going to be a great opportunity for Ruby. Though they promised to share the same room in the flat, she would still meet new people and make friends. Yang noticed the door open to reveal her uncle Qrow. The old grizzled man smiled softly at the two girls, walking over to Ruby and kissing his young niece on the top of her head. He spoke in his soft husky voice.
"You two be good now, ya hear?"
The two girls nodded, and Ruby beamed as her uncle ruffled her hair. He walked over to Yang, who had stood up from her couch and embraced the slightly shorter man in her muscular arms. Quietly, he whispered to Yang.
"And you take care of her too,"
She'll be fine. She's a big girl, she doesn't need me, Yang wanted to reply. Instead, she whispered back with her usual response.
"Always do,"
Pulling away, Qrow smiled and slapped her shoulder in appreciation. He nodded to her in an understanding manner. He finally strode towards the kitchen door, still looking at his nieces.
"Alright, I'll leave you to it. I'll phone you later on tonight, bye!" said Qrow, not aiming the statement at either one of the girls in particular.
"Bye!"
"See ya later!"
Then the door to the kitchen slammed shut, and it was just Yang and Ruby. Yang lay back on the couch she had claimed for herself, and Ruby started to unpack. She popped back up with a set of mugs, putting one on the breakfast bar, and she was about to put the others away, but she stopped for a second when she realized it was occupied. Yang looked at Ruby, who looked into the cupboard slightly surprised.
"Everything alright?"
"Yeah…Yang, I think someone else moved in before us"
Yang got up from her seat, and leaned over the breakfast bar, peeking into the cupboard to see what she meant. She found a set glasses and plain cream coloured mugs.
"How come we haven't seen her yet?"
Yang shrugged.
"Maybe she went out? We'll see her soon"
oo0oo
Blake got her precious cargo easily. She bought herself some food, as well as some vodka and cider. She bent to into her pocket to fish out her key when a tall old man opened the door for her, and stepped out the way to allow her by. She smiled, and thanked him for his kindness, unaware that it was Qrow, the uncle of two of her new room mates. She went to the elevator and clicked to the second floor.
"OH WAIT! HOLD THE ELEVATOR!"
Blake saw the old man who had let her in, and tapped the button to open up the door to the elevator. He stepped through the doors, and slid against the wall.
"Which floor you heading to?"
"Ugh, second floor,"
Blake smiled. Qrow returned the smile and they shared the journey up in silence. But when she saw Qrow walking along with her, she felt a little uncomfortable, so she asked him where he was going, to put her mind at ease,
"Room three. My nieces are living there."
"Ah," Blake smiled again. Not only did she feel slightly more at peace, she felt a little pang of excitement. Though she was a bit of an introvert, and at times preferred the company of her books to other humans, she did enjoy meeting new people whenever the opportunity arose. Opening the door, she held the door open to allow Qrow to come in. Blake wondered into the kitchen to put away her groceries, only to find her new room mates.
The first person she saw was the small girl sat by the breakfast bar, who turned and waved cheerfully at her. She was a small cute woman. She had short dark brunette hair which was dip dyed a deep scarlet. She had large silver eyes, which gleamed brightly at Blake. She wore a red hoodie, black jeans, and a pair of black and red trainers.
She then noticed the woman lying on the couch. Busty was the first word that came into Blake's mind. Beautiful was the second. She wore a pair of black jeans and a guns 'n' roses t-shirt, accompanied with a leather jacket. She had a long thick mane of golden hair, and soft lilac eyes. She looked up and waved to Blake.
"Hey there"
Blake was about to introduce herself to the girls when Qrow pushed by, flashing a set of keys.
"Forgot my car keys,"
He disappeared almost as soon as he had appeared, much to Blake's surprise. Recomposing herself, she finally addressed her new flat mates.
"Hi, I'm Blake,"
The smaller girl got off her chair, while the tall blonde got up and walked towards Blake. The small girl hugged Blake, and though it surprised her, she returned the hug, smiling slightly.
"I'm Ruby!"
The small girl pulled away and went to grab her tea, jumping up onto the breakfast and sipping it quickly. Yang hugged Blake, but not as excitedly as Ruby did. Yang whispered silently into her ear.
"Don't worry, she does that with everyone"
She lingered onto Blake's touch a little longer than Ruby did, but not so much that it was embarrassing,
"I'm Yang,"
She walked over to the fridge and pulled out a small 330ml bottle of Kopparberg and popped it open with her teeth, causing Blake to flinch. She didn't know how people did that without chipping their teeth. Yang leaned in and pulled another one out, tilting it to Blake.
"You want one?"
Blake thought about it for a second. It was late afternoon. Normally, she would wait until around seven to start drinking and she preferred stiffer drinks. Then again, she was never one to turn down free booze, and she didn't want to appear impolite. Besides, maybe a little bit of alcohol was just the social lubrication she needed. She took it from Yang's hand gently.
"Thanks"
Yang nodded and sat herself on a chair next to her sister, and turned to Blake, who propped herself against the countertop opposite the sisters.
"So, Blake, when did you move in? You just get here or?"
"I moved in yesterday"
And just like that, the girls engaged in conversation, helping themselves to cider from the fridge as soon as they finished a bottle. Blake found out Yang worked at her Uncle Qrow's garage as mechanic, and Ruby used to work as a part time waiter. They came from the city of Vale, and were raised by Qrow after their parents died in a car crash. Blake could sympathize with them. Her real parents had passed away the same way, but she was lucky enough to be adopted by Cinder and her husband, Tukson (though she wasn't ready to tell Yang and Ruby that. Not yet.).
Yang went to keep building on what she had learned under Qrow's wing and was studying mechanical engineering; Ruby said she wished to become a doctor so that she could help people, so she decided on human biology and biomedicine. Blake herself went on to computer game design: she had enjoyed 3D modelling in her old school's graphical communication class and programming in her computing class, so she picked a course that she imagined incorporated the two.
Pretty soon, they had gone from the serious nature of the looming idea of university to simple matters, like alcoholic drink of choice to favourite film. Even when afternoon surrendered to night and Ruby decided to call it an early night, Yang and Blake still talked passionately with each other about anything that came to mind. Blake had never met anyone she had felt so comfortable around, and Yang found her new friend was a lot more interesting than most people she knew. Only when they heard the birds tweeting outside did they realize that they had spent the whole night talking. Yang got from her chair, stumbling a little: maybe she had more than she thought. Giggling slightly, Yang announced what they were both thinking.
"Maybe we need to go to bed."
Pushing herself away from the counter, Blake nodded and accompanied Yang to her room, which just so happened to be next door to hers. Yang turned to Blake.
"Well, this is me. Uh, Good night, Blake"
"Good night Yang,"
Blake stepped into her room, stripped down to her usual naked self and tucked herself into bed, relieved that she was landed with such lovely room mates.
(Notes: Ok, I'm not sure about this chapterIf you couldn't guess, im half basing this around my own experiences of moving in. Also, Imma do a thing and try and name each of the chapters after song titles. As for pairing Tukson and Cinder as Blake's adoptive parents...I have no excuse. I like to think if things were different in the RWBY universe, they would be perfect for each other. I know i played the bumblebee romance a little too early, but since decided to edit it after people kept on asking about it. Enjoy guys!)
