Upon waking Blake remembered last night. Wide-eyed, the Faunus snapped her attention to the resident boy of team RWBY. Yes, indeed the boy was still asleep, albeit silently, which was surprising.
Silently, the Faunus rose from her bed and moved to the bathroom. Today was Friday, meaning last of they're classes for the week. The Faunus started her day off normally. Brushing her teeth, washing her face and now, currently going back into the dorm to find some clothes.
However, that plan derailed slightly when she bumped into someone. Looking up from the floor, she noticed the cute Ursa heads on the person's pants. Smiling, the Faunus looked up to see none other than the silly Gray.
"How's my favorite Kitty Cat doin'?" He smiled.
"Good morning, Gray."
"Why are you up so early? You're like ten minutes earlier."
"That's not very early, Gray." Blake stated, folding her arms while putting on a smile. Most of the things that came out of Gray's mouth were completely goofy or just plain wrong.
"Hey, it is in my eyes," He then paused. "Eye." The boy corrected. Blake giggled and stood on her toes, kissing Gray on the cheek, a small surprise. "That's a surprise. You almost never start."
"Don't say that." Blake pouted. "I'm not a bad girlfriend, Gray." The boy only smiled while gripping the Faunus' forearm, lightly caressing the strong yet soft appendage while he moved his right hand on the side of Blake's face, rubbing her cheek with his thumb.
"How could a little kitty like you be a bad girlfriend?" He purred.
"Get ready Gray, we'll surprise Ruby. She's all about the whole team eating at the same time thing isn't she?" The boy chuckled.
"Yeah, she's really into the really goofy team exercises." The Faunus then moved out of the bathroom doorway, allowing Gray to walk inside. It didn't take long for Blake to put on her Beacon outfit, soon she found herself waiting for her boyfriend.
Boyfriend.
Gray. Is her boyfriend.
It sounded so strange now that she thought about it. Gray being her supposed love interest was odd enough, but the fact on how she's in a relationship was something…strange.
The Faunus never thought she'd have another 'relationship' again if she could call Adam's a relationship. They didn't do what any couple did. Nothing romantic, everything was bland, however, the Faunus didn't notice or maybe she didn't care. The White Fang leader almost never showed any type of romanticism, however, Gray was completely different.
The constant goofy flirting, the jokes, and now that they're dating, the hugs, the playful banter, holding hands etc.
It was all new for the girl, but she wanted to keep it going, she really liked Gray as a person. The thought of the boy made her smile.
After a few minutes of her thinking, Gray appeared from the bathroom, fully clothed. The boy was never the type of everyone wearing the same thing. Sure, it was mandatory to wear the school uniform but that didn't mean you could have a few, alterations.
Gray had always folded his sleeves up, just til they were barely above his elbows, showing his forearms. As for the standard Beacon jacket, the boy left that unbuttoned, showing his surprisingly expertly put on tie and white dress shirt. Said shirt had the top two buttons undone, barely showing Gray's undershirt below his tie. He may look like a mess but most people know that it was intentional.
The boy had his usual cocky 'asshole' smile on his face. He approached the girl and offered a hand, who quickly grabbed it, as well as a book. Gray then led Blake to the door, without letting her hand go. The girl blushed lightly before they left they're dorm room.
Holding hands was a small act of affection. However, the simple gesture managed to fluster Blake to no extent. Gray didn't seem to notice, adopting Jaune's 'not knowing what's going on in front of them…ness'
That was until Blake's usual perfect posture faltered. "You ok, Kitty Cat?" Blake looked up from the floor into Gray's black eye.
"Hmm? Oh, yeah I'm fine. Just um… thinking." The lie didn't effect Gray in the slightest.
"Mmm, nope. Blake, don't lie to me. Somethin' is up." Giving up, the Faunus sighed as the 'secretive' couple came to a stop.
"Just that, I'm still not used to the whole 'dating' thing. It's been a while and my last relationship wasn't like um, this one." Gray smiled and hugged the girl, Blake jumped at the action.
"Hey. Don't worry. Take your time. Let me tell you this; I'll wait for you to be ready, for as long as you need. Ok?" Gray said, lifting her chin and making the Faunus look at him.
Blake smiled, happy to have him as such a patient friend and boyfriend. The girl returned the embrace before breaking away and grabbing Gray's hand. The boy then laughed. "See? It didn't take long!" Blake giggled and rolled her eyes.
"Let's go dummy." Blake then took the role of leading Gray to the cafeteria.
It didn't take long for the couple to reach the cafeteria, the duo heading off to do their basic trials. Gray, walked to the cafeteria line to get Blake's requested food. However, it was most likely that he would get something bizarre just to annoy the Faunus. Finally, Blake sat down at they're usual table and opened up the book she grabbed earlier, waiting for Gray.
The boy came back with two apples, a small breakfast that the duo were ok with. "Sorry, they didn't have fish on the menu." The boy snarked. A small glare was sent his way while Blake closed her book. A smirk soon followed the glare as she grabbed the apple from Gray.
The girl bit into the apple, hearing a gasp from Gray. "What? Can I not eat in peace?"
"Nah." Gray smiled, however, the smile soon vanished when yellow eyes stared menacingly at him. "Fine, Miss Cat Lady. I just wanted to know, how we're gonna tell everyone that we're dating. Without, Yang killing me."
"How about we just tell our team first. And see they're reactions." Gray nodded. Not even a second later the rest of team RWBY and JNPR had arrived. Gray then smiled, an awful plan surfacing in his mind. Once the remains of his team and team JNPR had retrieved they're breakfast Gray waved them over.
"Hey, guys! Blake and I are dating!" Gray shouted. Immediately, Blake sighed and hid her face in her hands.
"God, I hate you. Why did I even bother telling you a somewhat okay plan?" Gray snickered at Blake as everyone sat down.
"You don't hate me, and as for the little 'plan' this was a lot easier and funnier." Blake continued to sigh in her hands as Gray laughed.
"What a minute…Blake, you and Gray are dating?" Pyrrha asked.
"Yup, we're dating and we're in love!" Gray smiled while throwing an arm around Blake, pulling the blushing girl closer.
"Y-yeah, Gray and I are together." Blake explained, trying to pull Gray's arm off of her. Ruby and Weiss smiled at the two before the young leader turned to Gray.
"When did you guys start?"
"We actually started, um, l-last n-night." Blake stuttered, managing to find the topic awkward. Blake wasn't big on everyone knowing things, this certain topic was especially uncomfortable. While the Faunus explained her and Gray's current relationship, said boy unhooked his arm from her and instead, grabbed the girl's hand. From the corner of her eye, Blake could see Gray smile when she interlocked her fingers with his, the hands fitting together almost perfectly and seamlessly.
"Well isn't that adorable!" Yang squealed. To her, this was the greatest thing ever! One of her friends is dating her partner! Now Blake wouldn't and hopefully can't be her normal silent self. Oh, wait. Gray was really close with her and they went to the library all the time sooo… nothing will really change. Wait a minute… Blake and Gray are dating… library… oh my god. "Wait a second! What were you two doin' in the library all the time?" The blonde wiggled her eyebrows as others leaned in on the conversation.
The Faunus' cheeks flushed in embarrassment as Gray smiled wider. "Oh, you know the usual… very hot, steamy stuff. Extreme, passionate, romantic… activities." With every word Gray squeezed and ran his thumb on Blake's hand, causing her to blush even more.
"Gray…" She muttered.
"Oh, my!" Yang swooned, while others at the table pushed they're already half-eaten trays of food away from them. Although Gray didn't go into detail, everyone could only imagine what the boy would do, he was a natural born perv… somehow. "You two are perfect for each other!" The blonde giggled.
"See, Kitty Cat? Even Yang agrees." The Faunus glanced down and stared at her hand, the small appendage gripped affectionately and softy by Gray's. The boy wasn't very good with gentle when it came to things… or even quiet. However, this was one of the things that he was actually gentle or soft with. The Faunus remembered a uncomfortable moment when the boy nearly got the two of them thrown out of the library, due to him groaning loudly in annoyance, shouting random things… Blake's name being one of those things.
The explanation of his behavior was more awkward then Ruby's first date with Weiss. "Hey, Ruby?" The boy quickly grabbed his friends attention. "When and what is our first class?" The brunette jumped and grabbed her scroll.
"Uh, um it's uh, Port!" Ruby stammered. Weiss gave her a questionable look and Ruby laugh nervously. "What?"
"Oh, nothing." Weiss sighed.
"It's just that you get extremely nervous for nothing." Yang answered for the heiress.
"I can't help it!" Ruby squealed. The table continued to chuckle and laugh at the young leader. Her girlfriend comforted her as Ruby's cheeks flushed in embarrassment.
Professor Port's class wasn't really a class. In all honesty, it was more of a throwback to the professor's past. However, this was one of those days where they class actually took note, much to Gray's dislike. However, the fact that the class took notes didn't stop him from not doing it.
Instead of helping his education, the boy decided to toy with his Faunus girlfriend. Luckily for him it just so happens that Blake was to the left of the boy. Poking her, Gray smiled as he saw those fascinating golden eyes glare at him before hearing and seeing the familiar sigh and shake of the head. Gray then rested his head on his right hand, staring at Blake. He then poked the Faunus' cheek, however the girl was unresponsive, instead she paid attention to the class except her annoying love interest.
Gray wasn't content yet, so he continued poking the Faunus. Blake ignored boy for quite a while, before her determination to focus was broken. After the hundredth prod of her cheek, Blake sighed and lowered her head, causing the prods to move to her forehead. Gray snickered as more sighs exited Blake's lips. 'Honestly, she's literally like a cat.' Gray thought. "Gray, pay attention please." The Faunus pleaded causing the boy next to her to smirk.
"Why? This is so much fun. Boop." He then poked the girl's forehead, stifling a laugh when she sighed and glanced at him.
"Because… we won't do anything… fun." Blake smirked before returning her attention to the center of the classroom. She was sure that what Gray would pay attention if she pulled something like this. And sure enough, the boy snapped his attention to the class.
That was until he dosed off to sleep.
The Faunus sighed and continued her work. 'Unbelievable. The only thing he'll pay attention to is me.' She then smiled faintly to herself. 'I should be glad or at least honored. Honestly, Gray does give me a lot of attention, in not all most of it.' As the Faunus continued to think of the raven haired boy next to her, she didn't notice that the bell rung and students were dispersing. She also didn't notice the boy in her thoughts, wake up. Finally, a final prod on her face snapped her out of her trance. Looking up, Blake stared into Gray's void-gazing eye.
"You ok?" He asked.
"Yes," Blake blushed lightly. "I'm fine."
"Really, Kitty? 'Cause your adorable eyes say something different." Gray smiled getting close to Blake's face. Once again, Blake blushed while looking away. It still embarrassed her whenever Gray flirted or commented on her looks, which was surprising. Of all people, she should be used to his remarks.
However, when it came to public displays of affection, the Faunus was okay with it. "Anyways, it doesn't matter. Let's go, I think we got one more class and it's like…" Gray trailed off as he thought. "Goodwitch?" He stated and asked at the same time. Blake stood from her seat and began her exit from the classroom, Gray by her side.
"Yes, Gray. We have that class." She smiled. The two were the last ones to exit the classroom, and they were most likely going to be the last ones to Goodwitch's class. The reason why was because of how a certain raven haired boy was 'dragging' his girlfriend behind.
The boy grasped Blake's small and somehow soft hand and walked with her, attempting to lock they're fingers together. The Faunus was slowly getting comfortable with the small, sweet and affectionate action, however she was still a bit awkward with the whole 'public affection' thing. But, she seemed to be okay with lacing her fingers with Gray's .
