A/N: So fyi Ao3 just lets you include emojis in the body of your story. I didn't know this until I tried it. Anyway, FFnet doesn't let you use... most of them, for some reason, so I've done a quick translation. The original remains where it was first posted, if you'd like to see how this initially looked.

12:58 AM

GunscytheGirl: oops sorry!
GunscytheGirl: ruby rose reporting in: everything went better than expected!

GunscytheGirl: thank you both for the moral support!
❤️

A smirk twisted at Blake's lips. Across the table, Yang let off a snort of laughter.

BigYang: its k
ShroudedCat19: To be blunt, we expected this. And were maybe hoping for it. I take it that things went alright?

BigYang: yeah howd it go!?

BigYang: did u smooch the girl

Blake gave her partner an acidic look. "Yang…"

The offending party grinned back. "What?."

"Be nice."

Their scrolls beeped again, drawing them back to the girl of the hour. Or the last several hours.

GunscytheGirl: ^_^
GunscytheGirl: ^o^

GunscytheGirl:^u^

A fluttering light danced in Blake's chest.

ShroudedCat19: Mhmm.
ShroudedCat19: So you can't say.

ShroudedCat19: Although you can smile.

GunscytheGirl: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
BigYang: wait
BigYang: can u tell us in emoji form

"You really wanna know, huh?"

"Um, duh. Are you telling me you don't?"

"…Okay, fair."

GunscytheGirl: ಠ~ಠ
GunscytheGirl: 1/m

Yang and Blake looked at one another.

"Is she telling us to wait?" Blake mused.

"Maybe she's asking Weiss if she can tell us."

Blake's smile widened. "That's adorable."

Yang smirked. "Mhm."

GunscytheGirl: ^u^

"Ohmygod."

"Shh!"

GunscytheGirl: R+W=:3Ɛ:
GunscytheGirl: ️R+W=❤️!
GunscytheGirl: ^w^

Blake's eyes wandered back and forth across the symbols, committing them to memory. The heat in her chest, rose quickly to her cheeks, and she covered her mouth with her hand to hide the magnitude of her smile.

Yang, less reserved by a mile, punched the air triumphantly. "Hell yeah!"

BigYang: BIG CONGRATS RUBES
ShroudedCat19: Congratulations!

ShroudedCat19: We're both very proud of you.

BigYang: my little sis got the girl

Looks were exchanged.

ShroudedCat19: ...Ruby?
GunscytheGirl: Hello, dolts.

Yang cackled . "Oh my god."

BigYang: WE'RE DOLTS NOW!
BigYang: WEISS SAID SO

ShroudedCat19: It's truly an honor.

GunscytheGirl: So you were all plotting against me behind my back. Clever.
GunscytheGirl: Devious, even.

GunscytheGirl: Not unwelcome, though.

GunscytheGirl: Thank you for helping this dolt. And for letting us have the room.
