Blake's eyes was fixed onto the pages of the novel she was holding, invested in the pages filled with worlds. Team RWBY's dorm is quite today, only because a certain blonde brawler is absent. The same blonde who told them that she wanted to skip class a few hours ago.
It saddens her a bit, she thought that Yang would've taken her studies more seriously, especially after one year that they've been friends. She thought that Yang would be more mature than this, but she guessed she was wrong.
Although Yang did defend herself by saying that being a huntress doesn't mean classes and lectures, part of Blake still feel as if she just wanted to be irresponsible.
In some ways, it reminds her of Sun Wukong, the monkey faunus which she encountered on the dock doing mischief. 'Come to think of it, those two blondes should see each other more often, they have a lot in common.' She thought as she slowly starts to stare blankly at the pages of her book, and not reading it any longer.
She lists down the similarities between the two blondes. There's of course, the fact that they are both extremely… Extroverted. And the fact that they both seems to have passion for body building of some sorts, Yang with her muscular arms and Sun with his abs.
'Hm… What else…' Blake thinks. But, her train of thought was interrupted by the sound of the door being slammed open. Judging by how loud it was, Blake guessed it was none other than the pun queen.
"Heya guys!" She was proven correct.
Ruby, who's been in the room all this time. Replies just as cheerfully, "Hey Yang! Hey Sun!" Which confuses the cat faunus. 'Sun?' she thought, blinking a few times and thinking, 'Must've misheard.'
But, a familiarly raspy and light voice says, "Hey Ruby, Blake." And causes Blake to look up from her book and found out that it is indeed none other than the blond faunus. 'Why is he here? And with Yang?' She thought. But she needs to act in character. "Hey." The cat faunus merely said, sounding uninterested.
"Where's Weiss?" Yang asks, leaning to the wall, looking a bit tense.
"She's hanging out with Neptune." Ruby replies, sounding a little sad.
Yang sighs and mutters, "She can wait." Blake narrows her eyes, "Can wait for what?" She asks, greatly curious and slightly nervous for some reason. Both Yang and Sun looked at each other, as if they were about to tell Blake and Ruby that it's the end of the world.
The blonde girl clears her throat, trying to form words into her mouth. Blake anticipated what was about to come from Yang's incoherent mutters, "We… Uh… Came here to tell you that…"
'We?' Blake thought, suspicious in what these two blondes will tell them.
Sun simply puts his hand on Yang's shoulders. The girl looks at him anxiously, but the boy formed a small smile towards her, mouthing 'Let me.' Yang nods warily and watches as the monkey faunus takes a step forward.
"Me and Yang are dating." He says, his words dropping the jaws of Ruby Rose and Blake Belladonna.
Blake couldn't tell if the two blondes are pulling some kind of prank. They are both mischievous and outgoing, 'Why would they even prank us like this?' Blake thought.
She eyed both of them, but finds only anxiousness and honesty in the light lilac eyes and the ocean blue orbs. She blinks a few times, still not believing if this is real.
"Oh um, congrats then!? I guess?" The brunette says, trying to be supportive, but the tone of her voice says that she doesn't believe it as well. Her sister smiles a bit awkwardly, "Thanks sis!"
And that's when it hit Blake. The fact that this whole thing is too awkward and surprising to be some kind of prank that the two blondes would've pulled on them.
'Holy tuna…' She thought. They aren't joking at all, they are serious about their relationship. Suddenly, she felt a pang of anger and became highly suspicious.
'Something's off…' Blake thought, starting to believe that Yang and Sun are up to something. Believing that they can never actually go out. She doesn't know why she's feeling this way, but she just does.
So, she asks, "When did you start dating?" Which almost made the two blondes flinch.
But they're both prepared for these types of questions. Yang and Sun had been discussing over and over again about what they should tell their friends about their relationship. It took them almost 2 hours of talking in the cafe, having to spend a few liens on their drinks so the waitress wouldn't kick them out. But it was all worth it.
They came up with the most believable story about their 'love story'. Stories that almost made them believe it was true.
The monkey faunus says, as he bites his lips, "Well…" a small tint of red forming in his cheeks.
The blonde girl says, "It's been two weeks… Sorry we didn't tell you guys…" As her eyes looks down in the feeling of guilt.
Blake feels as if this whole ordeal is just a big lie the two of them made up. Plus, there are a loophole for this to be true, and that is the fact that she never sees them interact with each other that hints more than friendship.
The cat faunus asks, a bit harsher than intended, "Why?"
"We were worried you guys wouldn't approve of our relationship." Sun says. He looks towards Yang and grabs her hand tightly, "But you guys are her teammates, her family. You deserve to know."
She didn't know why, but the way the couple hold hands just makes Blake angry. 'Act calm, Blake.' She told herself, closing her eyes momentarily to control her temper better.
Yang looks at him and back to her team with anxiousness written all over her face. "You guys don't have a problem with this, with us, do you?" She says, making Ruby flinched as she quickly cuts in and says, "Of course we approve!"
After all, it is rare to see Yang displaying an emotion other than happiness. And it's even more rare to see someone with an expression that could match with Ruby's puppy eyes. Nobody wants to see the brawler unhappy, because if she's sad, then everyone is sad.
"I'm glad my sister is dating a good guy like you, Sun. Blake approves too, and I know Weiss will as well! Right Blake?" Ruby says as cheerfully as she could, turning towards Blake.
"Yeah, sure." Blake lied, her eyes narrowed suspiciously as she hoped nobody caught that.
Thankfully, the brawler clapped her hands and announced, "Okay! We're gonna go to our date, then! Don't forget to tell Weiss about this!" The brunette waved her hands and says, "We won't!" As the blonde girl slams the door closed, leaving the two dark haired girls alone together.
"Okay, what's wrong?"
Blake looks up to find the source of the voice. The 15 years old team leader, looking at her with no childlike wonder nor uncertainty. that she's known for.
Blake thought she might still be able to deny it. This bursting emotions that felt like fire, making her angry for no reason at all. "What do you mean?" She asks.
"You're bad at hiding things, Blake." The brunette says simply, earning a glare from the faunus.
She just points at her own bow, "Really?" Hinting at the obliviousness of the entire team for not being even slightly suspicious of why the dark haired girl never opens her bow.
Ruby looks to her left embarrassedly, "W-well, you're still hiding something now. So, what is it?"
The amber eyed girl turns her gaze downwards, deciding.
'But she's Yang's sister, what if I offend her?' A voice says.
'But she's Ruby, she can be trusted' The other one says.
After arguing with herself for a few moments, she gives in and nods, saying, "Okay… I don't actually know."
"I think I do." The brunette says a bit too quick and casual, surprising the cat faunus. "You're jealous, Blake." She says, making the older girl's eyes widen.
"What?" Her cheeks turned red, shocked that Ruby, out of all people, would be the one who's able to read her. Ozpin clearly didn't make a mistake, accepting her at this school two years earlier than she was supposed to.
Giving the shell-shocked girl a small smile, Ruby explains, "You're jealous of Sun and Yang cuz they're dating, and you think you'll end up with one of them, right?"
Blake wanted to admit to the brunette, but her ego made her deny it, no matter how cute and trustworthy Ruby might be, Blake is afraid to admit that she's angry for such a stupid reason.
"You know you can tell me anything, and I'd still be okay with it, right?" Ruby says, giving Blake her infamous puppy eyes, making her appear younger than she already is. Blake's amber eyes were locked onto her sparkly silver eyes, unable to resist the cuteness.
'How can I say no to this?' Blake thought.
"Okay, fine! I'm jealous, I admit it, now can we please get to the part where you tell me to 'chase after my true love' or something?" Blake says, wanting to end this as fast as possible so she can do anything other than what they're doing now.
"Actually I was gonna ask who are you jealous for?" The brunette said, smiling politely.
"What?" Blake asked blankly.
"We both know that you are jealous, but, of whom?"
Blake thinks, long and hard, she tackles around every word and thinks of every possible answer. But she finds none. "I don't know." She says, her eyes widening, her mouth open, as she suddenly questions everything about the world.
Ruby looks dumbfounded, and Blake couldn't blame her.
The brunette tries to understand her friend's situation, putting her hand to her chin, "I mean, you can't possibly be jealous of both of them." She says.
Blake nods slowly, trying to agree with Ruby's simple way of thinking, opposite to hers.
It is true, how can someone fall in love with two people at the same time, and gets jealous of them for having each other. She realised how flawed her logic is.
But, that doesn't explain the boiling anger she felt when she hears that the two of them are dating. It doesn't explain why she wanted it so badly to be a dream. It doesn't explain lots of things.
'No, there has to be some kind of explanation!' The cat faunus hopes. She then asks, "But, how do I know who I'm jealous of?"
The brunette girl shrugs with a hint of a smile, "I don't know." Feeling sympathy for her friend.
