Ruby was finishing up the dishes when she heard Yang's car pull up the drive. Looking out the window of their little home on Patch she could see that there was another person in the car with her. Thinking this is just another one of Yang's drunken one night stands she prepared her usual smile to try and ease them into what is bound to happen. The sound of car doors shutting soon followed as Yang entered the house.
Ruby was about to welcome her home when she just walked right by and up the stairs. Trying to figure out what was going on with her she thought to ask her date. When she turned to greet her guest her jaw just about hit the floor at the sight of Blake standing in the doorway looking downwards averting her eyes and rubbing her arm.
"You?...her?….how?….why?" all the questions started spilling out of Ruby's mouth yet one stuck ringing in Blake's head. Why? She knew she could easily say she was attacked at her apartment with it being the truth, but she did not want to worry Ruby. Sighing Blake closes her eyes and almost whispers "I dont know myself."
"You don't know" how coldly they ran off Ruby's tongue sent a shiver down her spine. "Three years….after three years you are back in this house and you dont know why?" WIncing as the sentences grew harsher maybe Yang was wrong. Maybe Ruby did resent her and maybe she felt that was best. The sudden body contact yanked her out of her thoughts. Looking down she saw Ruby tightly clinging on to her.
"Three years Blake.." the smaller ones voice cracked. "I missed you so much."
All Blake could do was pat her pack as her tears finally let loose onto her shirt. Emotions. She was always better at expressing them.
Up the stairs Yang could hear Ruby talking to Blake in a very one-sided conversation. Sighing to herself she prepared to wash up once more walking into the bathroom. Looking in the mirror she finally noticed that there were bags starting to form under her eyes. Work had been driving her harder and harder since her promotion. Turning on the faucet to let the water heat up she heard a knock on her door.
"Yang?" came her sisters voice. "are you in here?"
Running a hand through her hair she reluctantly opened her bedroom door. "What do you need sis?" Ruby hesitated for a moment unsure of what to say as she fiddled with her fingers. Yang closed her eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose. "You want to ask me about Blake don't you?" the slow nod of her head gave her the answer she needed. Motioning for her to enter the room she goes and sits on a chair next to her bed. Ruby takes a seat on the bed and waits in silence for one of them to start talking.
"It's not what you are hoping for." Yangs voice broke the silence that the two were sitting in. "In fact if I didn't have to I would never have offered to bring her here."
The small red head looked at Yang with a questioning look. "What do you mean if you did not have to do it?"
Sighing again knowing she walked herself into that trap she looked Ruby in the eyes. "Ruby what I am about to tell you I was told to keep absolutely secret, but you are my family someone I can always count on so I will tell you."
Ruby nods furiously as she eagerly awaits why Blake is back in their house. Yang darted her eyes anywhere and everywhere that was not her sisters line of sight.
"Rubes you know how I was given a top secret assignment from Oz yea?" was the only way she knew how to start it off. Seeing her sister yet again nod she continued. "That assignment was to gather intel to try and bring down the local chapter of the White Fang in Vale."
Ruby's eyes widen for she had not known how dangerous of a task her sister was dealing with. Shaking any other thoughts clear she continued to listen.
"There is a informant I am supposed to find and keep safe until the government can get the resources and troops needed to topple this group." Yang continued. Ruby sat silently before her eyes started to widen in realization. Shaking her head back and forth tears brimming in her eyes hoping the next bit of info was not true. Yang saw the hurt in her eyes but it was too late to back down from it now. "Ruby...Blake is the White Fang informant."
The bed creaked as Blake lied down on it for the night. Upon hearing footsteps coming to her door she sat up. Waiting for the knock that never came she decided to get out of bed but not before hearing the footsteps quickly take off again. Opening the door she looks around to see if she can catch at least a glance of who it was. Quickly looking she failed so see anything turning to go back into the room she feels a piece of paper beneath her foot. Looking down she notices an old photograph. Picking it up her eyes widen and her mouth falters to a frown. Staring back at her from the photo is...her. It was her and Yang on their first date to the Vale fair more than three years ago.
The urge to crumple up the picture swelled inside of her. Saddened by the thought that those days are long gone and only memories remain of them. She holds the picture up again and looks at Yang who had the biggest grin the entire time. She always said that she was the best thing to happen to her. Backing up against the wall she slid down until she was sitting on the floor.
"Hey Blake look what I won for you!" Yang called out to her holding a stuffed bear above her head.
"Yang...that's so sweet" Blake said taking the bear and giving her girlfriend a kiss on the cheek. The cheesy smile that was returned made her heart flutter.
Blake felt something warm on her face reaching up she felt tears. When had she started crying? Taking one last look at the picture she folded it up and put it in her vest pocket. Since their break-up most physical memories have been destroyed or given away so this one she wanted to treasure. Laying back down with memories fresh in her head she attempted to sleep.
"Yang? Yang what are you doing?" Blake giggled with her eyes closed at the request of her girlfriend. The smell of the ocean air filled her nostrils.
"One more moment Blake-y"Came the usual reply. "Aaannnddd done!"
Blake opened her eyes to see Yang wearing fake lion ears and whiskers that were crudely hand drawn on her face. Suppressing a laugh she ran her fingers through the thick golden locks. "You look magnificent m'lady" Blake finally said staring into the lavender eyes she so loved.
Blake stirred in her sleep a small smile making its way onto her face. Happy that this was the first peaceful dream she has had in a long time.
"Blake. Blake?" Yang asked concerned over her girlfriend staring out over the water lost in what appeared to be very deep thought. Being snapped out of it finally Blake looked to Yang.
"Im sorry Yang I was thinking then I kind of-" Blake was cut off as Yang pressed her lips to hers effectively silencing her.
"Its alright I just hope that you know that even thought we have only been together for a week and this is are first real date that you can trust me with anything." The blonde smiled to her.
"I know Yang...thank you." Blake said smiling softly.
"There is one thing though I thought I should tell you early on so I don't seem...clingy." Yang half whispered looking away her sunny demeanor vanishing quickly.
"What is it Yang?" Blake asked hugging her from behind.
"Well you remember how I told you about my mom leaving?" Yang started as Blake nodded in response." I guess I just want to know that...you will always be here for me. through thick and thin no matter what."
Blake turned her girlfriend around and enter twined their fingers. Looking deep into her eyes she softly kissed her over and over. As she broke the last kiss the leaned in and whispered. "Yang...I will never leave I will never run you are one of the best things to happen to me and I never want this to change."
Blake quickly shot up in bed breathing heavily wiping sweat from her brow. It seems that even now happy dreams are nightmares in their own right. Laying her head back down she laid awake not wanting to drift back to sleep. She hated the world she lived in, but the one thing she hated more was dreaming about the one she destroyed.
