WARNING: spoilers for episode 15 ahead!
"Well maybe we were just tired of being pushed around." Weiss had gone too far. That she didn't like the White Fang? Fine. But she had been discriminating and that went too far. Blake just then realized everyone was looking at her. Wait, she just admitted to being a White Fang, didn't she?
So she ran. Her plan was to find a quiet place to calm down, come to her senses and go back. However, before reaching the end of the hallway, she felt herself grabbed. Turning around, she looked Yang in the eyes.
"You... you were with the White Fang?" Yang looked confused, not angry. Blake wasn't the type for murder or kidnapping.
"It was a long time ago. When I still thought it was the only way. I've learned since then." To bring across her point, she kissed Yang on the cheek.
"Good. Now go back in there and tell Weiss that."
When she walked into the room, Ruby looked up, saw her, and quickly ran out, leaving Weiss standing there alone.
"We bleed blood, just like you do. We cry tears, just like you do. We have hopes and dreams and fears and nightmares. How are we not just human?" Blake's voice was soft, but had a hard edge to it.
Blake looked at Weiss, standing across from her. Somewhere deep down, she felt a pang of pity for the girl, which was quickly suppressed. Weiss just looked at the floor, refusing to meet her eyes.
"You call the White Fang terrorists, but you know why they do what they do? Because your family, your company, uses faunus as slaves. For every life they've ruined, hundreds of faunusses have suffered."
Still no response, but when Weiss looked up, Blake saw tears streaming down. The pity came back, ten times as strong.
Blake continued, a lot less angry now:
"Damn it. Weiss, for what it's worth, I'm not with them anymore. I cut ties long ago, and have no intention to return."
Weiss started crying, tears streaming down her face. Blake stepped forward and hugged her teammate, unsure what to do. On the one hand, she wanted Weiss to be punished for the things she'd said and done. On the other hand, the Weiss that had been discriminating against faunus this afternoon wasn't the one she was holding now. This was a little girl that had a terrible childhood. For who second place never was good enough. Who was pressured, and forced, to be the best, all her life. Blake just stood there, awkwardly holding Weiss.
"I'm sorry." A whisper escaped Weiss's lips. "I'm so sorry."
"Weiss, it's ok, you are not a bad person. You didn't do those bad things." Blake tried to comfort her.
"How can you say that? I lived my entire life on money made abusing your people. How am I not a monster?" Weiss pushed Blake back, still crying.
Grabbing Weiss's shoulder, Blake turned Weiss to face her. Bringing a hand up to her face, Blake wiped away the tears.
"Monsters don't cry."
Blake pulled Weiss into another hug, any thought of revenge forgotten. She held Weiss until she stopped crying, then backed up a step.
"Weiss, your parents did bad things. But that doesn't necessarily make you a monster."
A knock at the door. A voice, belonging to Yang, yelled out:
"You two ok in there?"
Weiss walked over and pulled the door open. Yang looked in, seeing a Weiss that had been crying and a Blake that just stood there.
"Everything ok? You need more time?"
It was not Blake, but Weiss that spoke:
"Yang, am I a monster?"
Yang looked at Weiss, then back at Blake, then back at Weiss.
"No. I don't think so."
Ruby, who had been standing a little ways further down the hallway, walked up and said:
"Of course you're not a monster. How could you think that?"
Weiss just shook her head, then did something that surprised everyone: she pulled Yang and Ruby in a big hug.
Blake, who had been looking up to this point, walked forward and joined in the hug.
And so they stood there. A minute passed, then two. And they stood there, knowing they would stay together, no matter how tough things would become.
After finally ending the hug, Yang grabbed Blake and pulled her to the side.
"All good?" She whispered.
"All good." Blake confirmed.
On the other side of the room, Weiss and Ruby were kissing. Allow herself a little smile, Yang said:
"Let's leave these two lovebirds alone for a little while."
Blake smiled: "Only if it means you and I get some private time."
Yang laughed: "I have a few things planned. How does a nice restaurant and a hotel room for two sound?"
Blake looked at Yang: "You... a date?"
Yang shook her head: "I had planned for it to be more then just a date. Come on, let's have some fun."
Blake felt a blush come to her, which only go worse when Yang turned around and told Weiss and Ruby: "You two have fun. We'll be back by tomorrow afternoon, so make sure to clean up before then.
Blake wished she had a camera: Weiss went bright red, before Ruby said: "Yang. I'm fifteen. Nothing is going to happen. We'll hug and kiss a little at most."
Yang just shook her head: "You're not going to get a chance like this in a while Weiss, I suggest you take it." Before Weiss could answer, Yang grabbed Blake and walked out.
They made it to the end of the hallway before they burst out laughing.
"The look on her face" Yang managed to say between two laughs "Messing with Weiss is too much fun."
After they both calmed down, Blake asked: "Do you think they'll do anything?"
Yang led Blake towards the door. "Perhaps. If it's up to Weiss, no. If it's up to Ruby? I don't know. She might surprise you."
Before Blake could open the door, Yang grabbed her from behind and whispered in her ear: "I know, however, that we are going to do something."
Blake herself blushing. "Buy me dinner first."
Yang pushed the door open, pulling Blake behind her. "Your wish is my demand."
Sorry for the long wait. I had planned chapter 4 out, but the last episode kinda screwed that over. So I adopted that last scene so it would fit my story better. I'm afraid it could be a while before chapter five is out, sorry once again.
Feedback is appreciated.
