REWRITE:
Once again, not a whole lot change to the actual content here, but I took out the smut and consolidated it into a seperate Omake chapter which can be found after the interlude.
Yang stopped carrying Blake when they reached the main campus, considering that it might be seen as a little strange if they were seen walking around the school like they had just gotten married. However, not willing to cease all contact, Yang took Blake's hand as they made their way towards the statue in the centre of campus, their fingers interlacing as Blake blushed slightly. Seriously Blake, get a hold of yourself,was all that came to mind, though she secretly relished the contact, the weight of uncertainty and guilt finally lifted.
The peace and quiet didn't last long. "Yang! Blake! Where did you guys go? We've been looking for you!" Blake was woken from her thoughts by the excited voice of her team leader, and her eyes fell upon Ruby's companion, that furry little terror, Zwei, who was yapping as he raced along behind the young girl.
Hissing, Blake jumped on Yang's back, arms wrapping around her neck and legs around her waist. "Please keep that thing away from me." Her dry tone had returned.
"Zwei. Sit boy. Come on Blake, he just wants to be friends." Ruby pouted.
"Ruby, I'm not exactly in the market for new friends at the moment." Blake still hadn't descended from her perch, and was keeping a wary eye onit. Also, rather liking the excuse to hold Yang close, she surreptitiously rested her chin on the blonde's shoulder.
"It's alright kitten, you can come down now." Yang smirked.
"So where have you guys been? You missed pancakes for breakfast!" Ruby sounded quite shocked that anyone would miss a pancake breakfast on purpose.
"Uhh, we just-" Yang began, but Blake cut her off.
"We were out training in the forest, decided to get an early start today." Yang clearly didn't like lying to her sister like that, and she shifted away slightly.
"Really Blake, some things are much more important than training." Ruby seemed to be taking it rather personally that her sister and her teammate would abandon the greatest meal of the week.
"We weren't hungry." Yang said flatly, and Ruby, slightly taken aback by her sisters tone, only shrugged.
"Okay, I guess I'll see you later." And then she was gone, Zwei happily chasing after her.
Yang sighed. "We didn't have to lie like that Blake."
"I know it's just...this is still new to me, and I'd rather get used to it myself before I make others do the same." Blake took Yang's hand back in her own. "Besides, Ruby's still pretty young, this might be a little too much to drop on her so suddenly, we'll tell her soon." Blake's tone was gentle and reassuring.
"If you say so Blakey." The smile was back, and once again Blake could only marvel at the beauty of this girl.
Once again, Yang whispered in her partners ear, "I might have something I'd like to drop on you."
Blake flushed crimson, but tried to downplay it by shaking her head in disappointment. "Really, that's the best you can come up with?"
Yang shrugged. "Source material wasn't great." Giving Blake's hand a squeeze. "Come on, I'm starving."
When they got to the dining hall, they met up with team JNPR who were all enjoying a late lunch as well.
"Hey guys." Jaune was the first to notice them as they approached the table with their food. "Where are the other two?"
"Ruby's out with Zwei."
"Ruby and Yang's dog." Blake clarified as she noticed the confused expressions of JNPR. She didn't even bother trying to hide the distaste in her voice.
"I wouldn't be surprised if Weiss is in the library studying." Yang joked, she knew her teammate all too well.
"THAT WAS YOURDOG? I THOUGHT IT WAS OOBLECK'S! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?" Nora looked distraught at having missed out on valuable cuteness, and was slightly hysterical, nothing new there.
"Sorry Nora," Yang barely stifled a giggle. "He only arrived a few days ago, then we all had our missions right away, and things got...pretty complicated." Nora huffed dramatically and turned away with her nose in the air.
"So what did you two have in mind for today?" The eloquently posed question came from Pyrrha.
"Oh, I'm sure we'll think of something," Yang said as she brushed her leg up against Blake's, the Faunus rolling her eyes in spirit. Seriously Yang, talk about thirst.
"Well, Jaune and I are going into Vale. I'd like to spend some time in the city when it's not exploding orbeing overrun by Grimm, and Jaune offered to accompany me." It was clear – perhaps to everyone but Jaune – that Pyrrha rather enjoyed the idea of spending most of her day alone with tall, blond and scraggly. Yang winked at Jaune, who's face did an excellent impression of Pyrrha's hair.
"How about you Ren?" Yang was trying to hide the fact that her hand had found Blake's leg by directing attention to their silent friend. Blake shifted slightly, not altogether comfortable with the level of closeness Yang insisted of displaying.
"I should probably study as well, perhaps some meditation later," was the quiet response.
"That's soooo boring!" Nora was practically bouncing up and down. "We should go hunt some Grimm!"
"I think I've had enough Grimm for a while now Nora." Ren said solemnly.
"Fine, you're no fun!" Nora huffed again. "Well, to the library!" She yelled as she dragged Ren away.
"Yang and I should probably go too. Go study, I mean." Her partners exploration was getting entirely too intimate for such a public place.
"Have fun you two!" Yang called to Jaune and Pyrrha, nearly wrenching Blake's arm off as she pulled the faunus away.
