The Faunus groggily opened her eyes, consciousness returning. Sitting up, Blake groaned and rubbed her golden eyes, getting sleep out of the jewels. The Faunus then stretched and yawned softly, a satisfying pop of her back filling her ears. Grabbing her scroll, Blake checked the time.
5:45.
Sliding off of her bed, the Faunus made her way to her team's bathroom, deciding to get ready. The black haired girl opened and closed the bathroom's door silently not wanting to wake up her team. Starting the sink the Faunus splashed cold water on her face, fully awakening her. Blake then grabbed her toothbrush, toothpaste and brushed.
Spitting out the remaining toothpaste, Blake smiled, seeing a clear white smile on her face. Placing her toothbrush back where it belonged and walked out of the room. Entering her dorm, Blake grabbed her usual clothes and slipped into them. Lastly, the Faunus tightened her bow around her ears, effectively hiding them.
As Blake headed for the dorm's door, she looked around the room and observed her sleeping teammates. Her leader, Ruby was softly sleeping… however not in her bed. It seemed the leader had borrowed Blake's sneaking skills, because the younger had somehow gotten into Weiss' bed, cuddling with her partner and girlfriend. Ruby was in for a rude awakening.
Weiss, was actually holding the leader, most likely dreaming something great because the heiress was smiling. Blake's partner, Yang, was asleep. But, the snoring didn't sound like she was sleeping. The blonde had always snored, since the beginning of the team's freshman year. Of course, it was a gigantic problem then, but somehow the team had adapted to the bear sounds that they're blonde emitted.
Lastly, was Gray. The boy was softly sleeping, albeit snoring. However, much quieter compared to the Faunus' partner. His bed sheets were wrinkled and thrown to the edge of the bed, while his pillows were mostly on the floor. The only head cushion that wasn't on the floor was Gray's body pillow.
And he was spooning it.
The strange boy had been spooning the poor innocent pillow while drooling, probably having an odd dream that Blake didn't want to know about. Shaking her head, the Faunus exited the room and the door silently, taking one last glimpse of her spooning friend.
After walking around the campus for fifteen minutes, the Faunus began to see more students walking around, starting their morning jogs and basic trials. The Faunus soon approached a large tree. The tree was a spot for Blake to read in peace and quiet, enjoying its cooling shade.
That was until Gray found her.
As usual, Blake would attempt to ignore Gray but that plan would soon fail. Like it always does. Sliding down the large tree, Blake sighed, thinking about the black haired fool. The Faunus thought that Yang was the strangest person she ever met but, Gray soon stole that title. But, she was glad to have such a friend. Closing her golden eyes, the Faunus smiled, listening to the morning birds chirping and the trees shifting with the wind.
Blake's ears soon flinched when the sound of grass crunching beneath feet filled the once quiet atmosphere. Blake's smile soon changed to a soft chuckle, turning to the noise, but not opening her eyes. "Good morning, Gray. What are you doing up?"
"I could ask the same question."
"I'm always the first one up, then Weiss, then Ruby, then you and finally Yang." The Faunus explained.
"True, true. Would you believe me if I said I missed the faint smell of lavender?" Gray smiled, getting the usual reaction he gets from the Faunus.
"Maybe, maybe not. It's hard to tell if you joking or not."
"Maybe that's a good thing." The boy muttered under his breath before sitting next to the calm Faunus. The boy then slid down the tree so he was laying on the soft, cool grass. Gray then moved his head onto Blake's lap, the girl jumping in surprise. She then sighed and rustled Gray's black hair.
"I swear, you're like a kid sometimes." She smiled, staring into Gray's eye.
"Nah, I'd say I'm more of a childish romantic, wouldn't you agree?" Gray stretched moving his right hand to the back of his head.
"Sometimes, but most of the time you're a child." The two stayed silent briefly, Blake playing with Gray's hair with her right hand, a soft smile on her face. Golden eyes looked down at a void-gazing orb, as Gray continued to stare back at the Faunus. His lonely eye stared at Blake's soft lips, so noticable and easy to look at and admire. Like were pursed into a warming smile and looked oh so tempting.
The boy lifted his left hand from his chest to the right side of Blake's face, moving her soft black hair so he could get a better view of the rest of her angelic face. Blake smile grew as he continued and then began to gently stroke the side of the Faunus' cheek watching her fair skin fill with a dash of pink.
The two continued to stare and admire each other, taking in each other's presence like they would separate at any moment. Gray grinned and blinked slowly. "You're really beautiful." Gray complimented. Blake's eyes widened at the sudden compliment, before relaxing.
"T-that was random, is this your attempt at 'childish romance'?" Gray sighed and gave his crush a disappointed look.
"Just take the damn compliment, Blake!" The girl giggled along with him and playfully shoved the boy.
"Fine. Thank you."
"You're welcome." Gray smiled, removing his hand from the side of Blake's face and rest it on his chest. The Faunus wanted the appendage to stay where it was, but she didn't say anything about it. The Faunus still raked Gray's hair as the boy closed his eye, his usual cheeky smile on his face.
Soon the boy fell asleep softly snoring, and the black haired girl smirked at her sleeping friend. She never really looked at Gray this way, but now she could actually analyze his face.
Gray was quite the looker, most girls of Beacon were jealous that Blake, Yang, Ruby and Weiss had him all to themselves, the students not knowing that two of the girls were lesbians. The boy never noticed the looks and whispers about him, adopting Jaune's obliviousness.
Blake would say he's living a really strange harem, but she'd never say that to him or her team. Reason why being it would be incredibly awkward explaining what a harem actually is, especially to Gray.
Gray's face was mostly clear of any blemishes, however, the boy had a scar on his left eye. Aside from the scar and eye-patch, the boy had, he was perfectly fine. Even with just one eye, it was fascinating to stare into. Like all the wonders of a black hole in a single small eye. Finally, his lips were big and tempting as he slept on Blake's lap.
Indeed, the Faunus had an interest in the boy, his history, and an interest in him romantically. How he would act, because he seemed to act like he's dating the Faunus, or any of his friends, the constant flirting along with the cheeky comments on his team.
But, Blake wasn't worried about all of that now. The girl rested her head onto the tree, sighing and let the arriving sunlight engulf her and Gray.
The two embraced the moment openly, finding each other's own company and excellent addition to the wonderful moment they were experiencing.
Minutes pass and a soft breeze blew by, blowing her hair aside along with the air. Blake moved her left hand to Gray's chest, deciding to get more comfortable. The girl jumped slightly when she felt Gray's hand, that was resting on his chest, interlace with her own.
Another childish romance thing. Blake thought.
Blake gripped his hand as well, locking their fingers together. They fitted together almost like lost puzzle pieces. "Couldn't help yourself, could you?" Gray asked, not opening his eye.
"Oh, shut it. I was getting comfortable."
"Mmhmm. 'getting comfortable', she says." Gray sighed. "Hey, what time is it?"
Checking her scroll, Blake replied saying it's around 6:15.
"Good. I still get to cuddle with my favorite Kitty Cat." Gray then moved around, getting comfortable again before falling asleep. Moments like these with her was something Gray dreamt of. Sure, they were such simple moments but that didn't stop him from enjoying them nonetheless.
The resident Faunus sighed and ruffled the boy's hair before closing her eyes as well.
Occasionally there would be the small group of students or passerbys seeing the two resting on the tree, but the bystanders didn't mind nor cared. The two rested on the tree for what seemed to be hours, relaxing near each other.
That was until a scroll vibrated. "What was that?" Gray yawned, annoyed.
Blake shared the annoyance with him, she was really enjoying herself. "My scroll. It's probably Ruby."
"Answer it." Gray stretched however not getting up from Blake's lap.
Taking out her scroll, Blake read the message that Ruby sent her.
Ruby: Where are you and Gray?
Blake: Around campus.
Ruby: I know that! WHERE are you?
Blake: Somewhere close. Don't worry, we're just resting.
Ruby: just resting hmmm~? ;)
Blake: Yang, get off of Ruby's scroll.
Ruby: What?! How'd you know?
Blake: Surprisingly, Ruby doesn't use winky faces.
Ruby: Fine T_T, ok this is Ruby now. Just make sure you guys are there for breakfast. And I mean make sure Gray gets to breakfast.
Blake then shut off her scroll and put it away. "What'd she want?"
"Just wanted to make sure that we're going to make for breakfast."
"What a Weiss thing to do."
Blake stifled a laugh. "Maybe she's rubbing off on Ruby."
"I hope not. I don't want to see what an energetic Weiss looks like and be our leader." Blake chuckled before closing her eyes again, feeling a hand place itself on her cheek.
"Ugh, you are a childish romantic."
"I take it it's working, though?" Blake glared at him and his frowned before laughing. "Joking! Why'd you turn into Weiss all of a sudden?"
"Don't compare me to her. I know how to take a joke. It's just yours wasn't funny."
The boy blew a raspberry in a fierce retort. "Yeah, there's no way I can compare you to Weiss. You're better looking, funnier, cuter, more intelligent… I could go on, really." Once again, a light shade of pink filled Blake's cheeks.
"Stop."
"Hey, it's true!" The boy admitted.
"Thanks, Gray. You big flirt." The boy laughed openly and covered his face with his left hand. Seeing him like this made a small pang rebound inside Blake filling her with a weird energy but one that she liked. She giggled along with him before deciding to get up. "We should probably go to the cafeteria before Ruby loses it."
Gray groaned. "But I'm so comfy."
"I'll let you touch my ears again~." Blake offered. Gray sighed in defeat.
"Why do you have to do that?"
"That how I negotiate. It's super effective." Gray regrettably, for both of them, got up from Blake's lap and stretched. The boy shrugged and offered a hand to Blake, immediately took it.
"M'lady~." Gray smiled while trying to run but struggling for obvious reasons. He bowed and signaled the way to the cafeteria, where the rest of his team were awaiting his and Blake's arrival.
"Why thank you, gentleman." The Faunus played along, walking ahead of Gray.
Gray smiled and followed the girl, looking up to see the still rising sun.
I really hope you guys enjoyed this. Reviews always appreciated, and kind of needed. You guys have no idea how scared I get when I write these. I have no idea why but I feel like I can't write Blake right. And I get nervous when I put these out because I want you guys to enjoy the thing that you voted for. I just don't want to let you guys down. So, please tell me if I'm doing Blake right. Even though some of you said I'm doing just fine, I still don't think I'm good with her yet. With that said have a great Day / Night everyone.
