AN: Welcome back. I hope you enjoy this chapter.

OAN: Hello again. I had quite a few things to do so this chapter is coming to you later than anticipated and I am sorry about that. Okay forget about the author's note (because who really reads it) and let's go to the story


A Budding Relationship

Weiss's POV

"I don't know about that," I said reluctantly as she walked beside me. We were on our way to the school cafeteria to get Ruby her beloved strawberries that she absolutely "had to have."

"Weiss, you have to come. I can't have a 'happy birthday' or a 'sweet sixteen' if my best friend isn't there. Please please pleasssseeee!"

"I'm not all that great with people. I'd just feel so out of place and end up killing everyone's good vibes." Oh, my Lord. I cringed at my word choice; her slang was beginning to rub off on me.

"I promise you that it'll be fine and if it's really that bad you can always just cling to me."

"But I'm not sure..."

"Then get sure because you have to come, " she demanded and added a stomp of her foot for good measure.

"Alright I give up," I said as I let out an exasperated breath. This girl was a handful 24/7 and was the queen of draining my energy at a rapid pace. I still cherished her presence regardless of that.

"Yay!" She pulled me in for a bone-crushing hug and squealed with delight.

"I get it I get it you're happy. Put me down and go get your strawberries."

"Yes ma'am, "she answered and gave a mock salute as she walked away.

A week or two after the first time I took her out for a day of fun, I had an epiphany. I liked Ruby. It was as simple as that. I realized this when I had told her about my family situation and how strained it was. She responded to my story of sadness and heaviness with a bright smile and said "You're always welcome to be a part of my family. Which one do you prefer, Weiss Rose or Weiss Xiao Long?" To keep it short and simple, tears were definitely shed that night. I felt loved and accepted, emotions I hadn't felt since my mother. This girl was something truly special.

"Alright, we have the strawberries let's move out. Weiss? Helllooooo? Earth to Weiss, " she said as she knocked on my forehead.

"Sorry I was daydreaming, " I apologized as we walked out of the cafeteria and headed to a patch of grass underneath a bridge to the main building.

"You've been doing that a lot lately."

"Yeah, it just happens." I was quick to change the conversation before she got to ask what I was daydreaming about. "How's Yang?"

"She's fine. Her first game is in a few weeks, so I was thinking of asking you if you wanted to go or not."

"Who are they playing?"

"The White Fang."

"Ugh," I said making a face of disgust. The White Fang was our rival school that was built especially for Faunus. They had a choice between going to school with humans, like Blake, or staying at that school. Their hatred towards humans was the reason they were our rivals.

"I know," Ruby shared my feelings towards them. Faunus weren't bad people I know that by looking at Blake, but those kids were raised to loathe humanity.

"I'll go just to gain satisfaction from seeing them get crushed."

"That's the spirit," Ruby said with a mouth full of strawberries and juice running down her chin.

"You're making a mess of yourself." I wiped her face with a handkerchief of mine and couldn't help but notice those lips of hers. Whatever you do don't look or lean. This situation reminded me of what happened, well almost happened, on the beach. We hadn't talked about what almost happened on the beach those few weeks ago. It seemed like Ruby wanted to either pretend it didn't happen or forget about it completely so that's what I did. I withdrew my hand from her face as she thanked me. "So, what should I get you as a birthday present?"

"You don't have to get me something I just want you to show up. It'll make it the best birthday ever if you were there to celebrate it with."

At that, I couldn't help but blush. "No, I want to get you something, I really do. "

"Alright then if you insist, I 'll accept anything."

"Seems easy enough." The bell rang, signaling the end of the lunch period.

"Oh no, I've got to go to the other side of campus. Catch ya later Weissicle." Ruby zipped off rather quickly. How could she do that without crashing into things? That kid baffled me. I dusted myself off the ground and headed for my next class, thinking about what I should get her.


After school, I decided to go to Blake's house to work on our Calculus homework. Fortunately (or unfortunately), Yang showed up about 30 minutes into our session and as soon as I opened the door for her, she rushed in trying to find Blake.

"Where's my Blakey?" she asked with excitement like when one asks a dog if they want to go for a walk or if you tempt them with a treat.

"In the living room." As soon as those words left my mouth, she was gone in a flash.


Blake's POV

I stood up from my seat on the floor to go get my charger for my phone when I felt strong arms wrap around my waist and lift me off the floor.

"WOAH!" I yelped as I was thrown onto my couch and a pair of mauve and lavender eyes filled my gaze. Yang... of course it was her. She laid on top of me and placed her hands on my cheeks.

"Ahhhh babe I haven't seen you in 3 days." She kissed me passionately and then said," I missed you, love. How've ya been?"

"I just talked to you an hour ago on the phone," I huffed in fake annoyance.

"It just wasn't enough, it never is. "She nuzzled into my breasts which caused me to laugh and squirm at the sensation.

" Yang ... hahaha ... please ... haha... no more," I gasped between laughs.

"I don't think I should," she said with innocence as she nuzzled more intensely.

"Yanggg ... hahaha ... I ' m... haha... serious!" I tried to be stern, but it didn't come through the way I hoped it would.

"Okay, I'll show a little mercy. So, what is my girl up to?" Yang asked as she relented her attack.

"Calculus," I responded as I began to calm down.

"Ew, the work of Satan."

"I know. Why are you here? Don't you have practice?"

"It got canceled so I thought I'd come over."

"Well get up, I have to do this homework."

"Boo, "she said with a pout and pushed herself off me.

I reached for the homework on my coffee table and placed on my lap. Then, Yang sat behind me and wrapped her legs around my torso. We were both sitting up when she pulled me closer to her body, not even leaving an inch of space between our two bodies, as she snaked her arms around my torso too. She began to nibble and lick my ear.

"Yang behave," I said distracted from my work thanks to her.

"I am behaving, "she responded and bit down on my ear a little harder.

Weiss reentered the living room and let out a sound of mock disgust. "Guys there are children here."

"Where?" Yang asked and brought up a hand to her brow as if she was searching for something.

"In front of you, I'm the child," Weiss countered and sat on the smaller couch across the room.

"Fine I'll keep it at a PG-rating, "she mumbled as she resumed her attack on my ears.

"So, Blake, what do you think I should get Ruby for her 16th?"

I was so absorbed with what Yang's tongue was doing and I didn't catch what Weiss asked. "Wha?" So eloquent, great job.

"What should I get Ruby for her birthday?"

"Get her something she either can use all the time or enjoy." It was the best thing I could recommend at the moment as Yang outstretched her tongue and messed around inside the shell of my ear instead of where she was (my earlobe).

"Well gee, thanks for narrowing that down. What do you think Yang? "

Yang ceased her movements and I let out a whine of displeasure to let her know I wasn't happy she left me hanging. She gave a quick peck on the side of my head and answered Weiss.

"She likes music like a whole lot." That seemed to do the trick. Weiss was in her own little world as she thought on this for a little bit while Yang took it up a notch and began running her hands gently up and down my sides. My back arched at the feel of her hands. She moved on to lavish my neck with her sweet and soft kisses. I let out a mixture of a moan and a gasp.

That snapped Weiss back into reality. "Guys! Ew stop it, I have an idea and I need your help."

"Come on Weiss don't be a fun-sponge," Yang teased as her hands retreated to stroke my neck.

"Shush and let me tell you what we're going to do." Weiss flipped her homework over and crawled over to us as she began to construct a plan. About 20 minutes of planning later, Weiss gathered her things and headed for the door.

"Don't forget guys, it's that important."

"We won't," We replied in unison. She closed the door and was gone the next second.

"Well would you look at that, " Yang whispered with a predatory gaze and picked me up in her arms, "we're all alone now. I wonder what we should do to pass the time."

"You could help me finish my homework," I said just to tease her. I wrapped my legs around her torso because I knew where this was headed.

A grin made its way onto her face as she scoffed, "Like hell, I will." She then began to walk us over to my bedroom. Anyone who saw the hickies and love bites that covered our bodies the next day didn't have a hard time putting the pieces of the puzzle together.


OAN: Let's be evil and cut it there. Sorry to all those who wanted to read more but wanting is good for the soul so I think you all can manage. This chapter is pretty short and only a little important. I'll update again soon, and the next chapter will be Ruby's party, so that'll be fun. Oh, be sure to look forward to a drunk Blake (mwahaha) and underage drinking. Yay. Adios for now.

AN: Another chapter for you. Hope you enjoy and next time I'll see you next time for Windows of the Soul Chapter 5: Best Birthday Ever
