-The Silver Lining -

The darkness of their dorm, illuminated only by the window's ray of moonlight, was nothing compared to that which dominated the Blonde's mood.

She sat in the middle of the floor. From the back, she would have seemed immobile and content. The ladder wasn't true. She was immobilized by loss, a feeling she had never dreamt of.

"I miss you."

Her whispered words were aimed at the two girls she would never get back. The two girls she loved more than the world.

Weiss watched on, hidden in the shadows near the door as Yang cried silent tears.

The loss had affected Weiss just as much. Not a night would go by where Ruby's sweet voice would grace her ears, only to be torn away by approaching consciousness.

Her crimson, hyperactive lover and her brooding friend were the only family she had besides The Blonde. Yang was the only one she had left. Having someone she held so close taken away from her broke her heart into a million pieces.

Now, as she watched her ever-strong best friend cry, The Heiress felt as though she was stepping on the shards of her own shattered heart.

*Crinkle*

Weiss eyes widened. Realizing she had been unconsciously shifting forward, Weiss looked down to see the broken glass that scattered across the floor.

She saw the blood that rested on the razor like edges of the transparent shards. The small amount on each piece drew Weiss to a quick conclusion: Yang had tried to cut herself with little success. Her birth given abilities had betrayed her.

The Heiress raised her head to see a sad pair of purple eyes in the semi-darkness. Yang's eyes overlooked Weiss' nightgown covered body and let-down hair. The Heiress felt her stomach drop. She knew what would come next.

"You're just like her."

Yang's words made Weiss want to pick up a shard and take it to her wrists. The Blonde had taken the loss of her cat-eyed lover especially hard.

She walked over and sat next to the purple-eyed onlooker. Even Weiss felt a shiver run down her spine at Yang's aerating desperation.

"I know it's been difficult." Weiss began with her voice just above a whisper. "Blake and I...are not the same."

"You are similar." Yang gently shook her head, her gaze not once changing from its emotionless, darkness-piercing stare. "And…And I'm almost like Ruby. We could..."

"Yang." Weiss interrupted, hoping to stop the conversation before it evolved.

The Blonde had spoken the words before. Weiss didn't need to let her finish the sentence to understand what she was instigating.

Blake was cold and calculating, but had a soft side. Weiss matched that description well.

Ruby was energetic and funny, with an underlying sense of wisdom. It was no surprise that Yang fit those words.

"We can't do this, Yang." Weiss whispered, her command almost pleading.

"I can be like her." Yang begged, her whisper almost as heart wrenching as her tearing eyes. "And...And you can be my Blake."

"Yang, please don't do this to me." Weiss muttered, her own vision becoming blurry with her increasing grief. "We can't just-"

"It's not like we aren't friends."

"I know, but-"

"We can't bring them back."

"Yang…" Weiss choked. Tears finally fell from her eyes. "Please don't-"

Yang's lips pressed desperately against Weiss'. The Heiress fought back for a moment, stopping as Yang's hand held the back of her head in place. She knew fighting would grant nothing. For every ounce of strength Weiss had, Yang was fifty-thousand times stronger.

Yang pulled away. Weiss saw tears falling down the face the Blonde. When Weiss spoke, a fearful whisper was all she could produce.

"Yang, please... I don't want to do this."

Yang's sad gaze remained unbroken. "Then why were your lips moving?"

Weiss felt her brick wall collapse as she realized the truth of the words. She closed her eyes, wincing away from the ominous purple gaze.

"I know you won't think of me." Yang whispered somberly. "And I'm sorry I can't think of you yet. Maybe someday..."

Weiss felt Yang's finger prod up her chin. She glanced at the sorrow-filled stare once more.

Yang bit her lip. "Maybe someday we will. Until then...It's okay."

Weiss swallowed. She locked their eyes once more. Words couldn't describe the immense melancholy she felt.

"I love you."

Weiss words came out as a barely audible whisper. Yang understood what she meant. In a way, they loved each other. Not for who they were, but for whom they were similar. They didn't- couldn't truly love one another. Not in that way. Not yet.

"I love you, too."

But until then, it was okay.

Their lips collided once more, a bridge for each other's pain. Yang didn't feel happy, but a weight was lifted as Weiss mounted atop her, kissing harder and more disparate.

The tears didn't stop as they made love. Yang felt a wound reopen in her heart as her dead sister's name was whispered in tearful ecstasy.

They awoke in the false comfort of each other's embraces. Their clothes were scattered around the dorm floor.

Yang looked down at the Heiress snuggling closely. While anyone else would have seen the white-haired beauty, Yang saw only Blake.

Every disaster has a silver lining. Most would agree it would have been better if the disaster never happened. But no one can deny the fact that broken hearts will find anything to mend themselves.

And for now, that was okay.
