Everything for the RWBY girls had gone back to normal. They had nothing else to focus on aside from classes, friendship and the upcoming tournament between their rival schools. Even the news that Blake was a Faunus had blown over and simple became an additional fact in their lives. Except Blake had one additional worry.

Weiss.

Weiss.

Weiss.

Weiss.

Blake groaned into her pillow. It was all she could think about. The white haired heiress had been running circles through her head.

"Why can't I get her out of my head? It's so stupid. SHE'S STUPID!"

That was a lie, but Blake needed to convince herself unless she wanted to have her thoughts drift elsewhere. Like the way Weiss would occasionally hum as she brushed her air. Or the smug smirk she wore when she crossed her arms. Then there were her cold piercing, yet soft, eyes that made more than just her heart flutter.

Blake huffed, she had let her mind wander. "What's the point of these stupid feeling anyway."

"What, daydreaming about me again?"

Blake froze as she felt the color drain from her cheeks.

No.

Don't be there.

You can't be there.

She turned to her side to see a doofus wearing an equally stupid grin lying beside her like a maiden from a distant land that was known for baguettes.

"YANG!"

The blonde only continued to smile. "You rang?" Piff, a swift pillow to the face.

"How long were you here?" the Faunus hissed.

"The WHOLE~ time."

Color returned to Blake's cheeks, but rather than their soft rosy hue came a deep shade of crimson. "I wish was dead right now," Blake groaned as she buried her face into her sheets. She just wanted to find a quaint little whole to disappear into.

"What? It's not like I didn't know already."

"You knew? How did you know?" Blake asked suddenly sitting up.

"Blake, I'm blonde but I'm not dumb."

"That obvious?"

"Like Pyrrha's crush on Juane."

"That boy is an idiot," the raven haired girl said with a roll of her eyes.

"Hey we're talking about your problem here, not 'Mr. can't see miss perfect who keeps saving my sorry ass'." Blake giggled at Juane's affectionately given nickname. "Almost as easy as the whole you being a Faunus thing."

"How could you know that?" Yang said nothing in reply and only gave a telling look that simply read 'did you really think I didn't know?' Blake sighed, maybe she was just that transparent when it came to the heiress. "Well what do you think I should do? I doubt she sees us as more than teammates and even so this whatever this is, is a stretch."

"I dunno." The blonde shrugged. "You could just plant a big smooch on her."

Blake face turned beet red at the thought as a wide grin spread across Yang's features. "What? No! I can't just do that."

"What? Sure you can. Easy."

"No I can't! What if she think it's weird. It's already strange enough around her as is. I don't need to make it more-"

Blake stopped midway through her tirade. She had been interrupted. It was something quick that had caught her off guard. Soft and sweet but it set her body on fire. A kiss.

"See. Easy." Yang flashed her trademark smirk.

Blake could only remain at a loss of words, he face felt as if it were about to boil over. This situation wasn't uncommon. Yang and Blake were partners in more than just a simple sense of the world. There weren't any precise labels on what they had. Yang was…Yang. She was kind and caring when Blake needed it and overflowed with affection (and warmth). Partners was the only word they had to describe their relationship.

"Welp!" Yang said with a smile as she sat up. "I'm going to see some friends." Without another word she hopped off Blake's bed and made for the door. "WEISS! Blake was just looking for you!"

Blake could feel her heart skip.

Please let her be joking.

But sure enough in walked the Schnee heiress with an upturned nose, a frosty glare in her eyes. "Good. I was just looking for her."

Blake's ears fluttered, a small smile tugged at her lips. Weiss had been looking for her?

"Well I'm on my way out. Don't have too much fun you two?" Her gaze fell specifically on Blake. "Don't make me too jealous."

"Jealous?" Weiss knitted her brow at Yang's vanishing form. "What does she mean by Jealous?"

"Nothing!" Blake quickly retorted, probably a little too quickly.

Weiss studied Blake's features for a moment. The Faunus appeared rigid and flustered as if she was nervous. Rather than raise questions, the heiress simply wrote it off with a shrug. "Anyway," her glare hardened again. "Why were you not in class?"

Blake swallowed. She needed an excuse. "Um…I-I wasn't feeling well." She laughed nervously.

"Are you sick?" Weiss asked as she rushed over to Blake's side, placing a hand to her forehead to observe her temperature. "Well, you do seem a little hot."

"I-it's nothing! Trust me, I'm feeling better." Blake forced a smile, trying to mask her nervousness.

Weiss studied her friend's face again. "Okay…" she said with a sigh of relief. Blake smiled. Bullet, dodged. "Well since you're feeling better I need your help."

"Sure! What do you need?"

Anything for you princess. Blake's thoughts were drifting again.

"Since your little coming out, a lot of the professors have ben assigning us a lot of Faunus related material. Biology, history, geography. The list just goes on and on….So, you're going to help me, got it?" Weiss put her hands on her hips, demonstrating that this was an order and Blake truly had no say in the matter.

"Sure." Blake smiled and nodded, her heart was a flutter.

Their studying went smoothly for the most part. Weiss took to the material quickly so that was no problem. Blake, however continued to get distracted. Whether it was being hypnotized by the tune of Weiss voice or simply getting lost in thought as she starred at the heiress as she worked. The way she scrunched her nose when she got confused or occasionally played with her hair.

"What about this one?" Weiss asked as she pointed to a question in her book. No answer. "…Hey are you listening?"

Nope.

Blake was facing her white haired angel but she wasn't listening. In the mix of it all she had become distracted by the girls talking. Not her words, but by her lips. They were small pursed things that were the lightest shade of pink. Blake wondered what they felt liked. Tasted like. They looked soft. Inviting.

Just kiss her.

It was a thought that lasted only a moment.

"W-what are you doing?" Weiss stammered out, her cheeks now flaring.

"Oh no." Blake's mouth felt dry. She had done it. She had kissed Weiss. "I have to go."

Before Weiss could have another word the Faunus was already gone leaving the heiress alone confused with a finger to her lips as she felt the tingle of a sensation now fleeting.
