After a month things had improved in the Rose-Xiaolong house between Yang and Blake.

After another couple nights of Blake ending up in Yang's bed to help with the nightmares, Taiyang swapped Ruby's old bed with the spare bed so that Blake wouldn't need to walk from her room every night.

Blake and Yang themselves had become closer as well and while Yang was still slightly wary of Blake, she was starting to talk with the Faunus about some of the things that had been troubling her.

Taiyang for his part had been doing his best to give the girls as much time on their own as he could while also trying to make sure Yang was ok.

Currently Blake and Yang were heading into town for another grocery run and to try and get rid of some cabin fever.

"Hey Blake can I ask you something?" Yang inquired

"You just did." Blake smirked, receiving an eyeroll from Yang. "Yes Yang you can."

"Where did you go after Beacon?" Yang asked, having avoided asking the question for weeks.

Blake took a moment to compile her thoughts on the matter and trying to figure out how much she should say. "I went home, to Menagerie."

"Didn't know you were from Menagerie or anything about your family for that matter." Yang thought aloud, looking over at Blake.

"Most Faunus these days were born on Menagerie and as for my family… I didn't leave on the best terms when they left the White Fang."

"Your family were a part of the White Fang too?" Yang asked, surprised to find out all the Belladonnas were part of the now terrorist group.

"My Father was the last leader of the White Fang before they turned into the violent group they are now. When he left my Mother followed after him." Blake informed, keeping her gaze straight and not looking at the curious blonde next to her.

"So what happened?" Yang asked, knowing she may be treading into areas she shouldn't.

"When they told me they were leaving i thought they were being cowardly and i told them that. I called them horrible things because i was blinded by what i thought was right instead of listening to reason." Blake said before being pulled into a hug by Yang. "What are you doing?"

"Well it use to cheer you up when we were at Beacon so." Yang said, watching as Blake expression became more depressive. "What's wrong Blakey?"

"Why are you all being so accepting of me?" Blake asked, looking at the ground below her while Yang stared at Blake, unsure how to answer. "I said some horrible things to my parents and they accepted me back with open arms. You lost your arm and I ran away but you still accepted me back."

"Your parents love you Blake. They could never hate their daughter and as for my arm, I never hated you for that." Yang said, a genuine smile on her face instead of her usual cocky smirk.

"You should be though. Adam cut your arm off to get back at me. He hurt you because of me." Blake argued, moving away from Yang and wrapping her arms around herself.

"Yes Adam did it because I charged in and no matter how you look at it you weren't to blame." Yang retorted, moving towards Blake and resting her hands on Blake's shoulders, staring into Blake's amber eyes. 'such pretty eyes… wait what?'

'such pretty eyes' Blake thought before breaking eye contact and staring at her shoes like they were the most interesting thing in the world, a light blush dusting her cheeks.

"You're too nice to me." Blake mumbled, finally unwrapping her arms and relaxing more.

"Well get use to it Blakey cause your stuck with me this time." Yang replied, her usual smirk back on her face

Blake just shook her head before starting to walk towards town with Yang in tow.


When the pair got back to the house, they found Taiyang standing outside setting up for another round of training.

"Ready to go again old man?" Yang asked, now standing a couple metres away from her father while Blake walked over to the sidelines.

"Actually I was hoping to go a few rounds with Blake. See what the girl who keeps up with my little light dragon can do." Taiyang replied, cracking his knuckles.

"I'm alright with that. Hand to hand then?" Blake asked, receiving a nod from Taiyang before the pair got into their fighting stances.

Yang walked over to the sidelines to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.

Once she was clear the pair charged at each other, fists and semblances flying, Yang's attention wasn't focused on the fight but more on her partner.

'She always moves so fluidly' Yang thought as Blake jumped out of the way of Taiyangs punch, leaving a shadow clone behind.

As the fight progressed, Yang's eyes stayed constantly glued to Blake figure until Blake looked back at her.

As soon as they met, Yangs stomach started doing flips and her eyes were attached to Blake's.

It wasn't the first time Yang had felt like this when she would look at her partner. Back at Beacon, Yang would feel it constantly but that had all stopped when Blake ran again.

'Never did figure out what made me feel like that. She always had a way of drawing my focus and making me want to drop everything to help her.' Yang internally monologued, before realising she had been staring at Blake since their eyes met.

Realising what she had been doing, Yang quickly looked away and tried to distract herself with whatever she could.

"Alright I'd say that's a wrap. Gotta admit, I can see how you keep up with this one's abundance of energy." Taiyang spoke, pointing in Yang's direction before walking over to Yang.

"It's never been easy, especially when Nora was involved." Blake replied, her mind recollecting one of the many times Nora and Yang got into trouble.

"I'd love to hear some of those stories. See if Yang gets up to as many shenanigans as Team STRQ did." Taiyang said, remembering his old team.

"Well we had a big food fight like you did." Yang smiled, watching as her father started laughing and Blake groaned.

"It still feels like I have people like grapes in my ears." Blake groaned, her cat ears twitching as she recalled the memory.

"At least you kids have Glynda to repair the damage. When I was student we had to repair the damage ourselves." Taiyang replied, grinning nonetheless. "Anyway enough reminiscing. It's time to get your butt whooped."

"Your on old man." Yang replied, getting ready to fight.


As the day progressed, Yang's thoughts kept going back to Blake.

During her spar with Taiyang, her eyes would always wonder over to Blake who was sitting just off to the sides, something Taiyang would take advantage of and win the round.

'She really pretty and her ears are so cute.' Yang thought while she was laying in bed before turning to face Blake's sleeping form.

With Ruby and Qrow off on their adventure and Blake being the majority of her thoughts, Yang only had one other person she could talk to about her current situation.

After carefully sneaking out of her room,which isn't easy when you're bunking with a Faunus, Yang made her way towards Taiyang's room, knowing he would be awake for at least another hour.

After knocking on the door it creaked open to show a surprised Taiyang behind it.

"Yang? Is everything ok?" Taiyang asked, moving slightly out of the doorway to let Yang in.

"I don't know.. I'm a bit confused." Yang replied, moving towards the bed before sitting on the edge.

Taiyang walked over to the bed aswell before sitting on the edge facing Yang and waited, he knew it was better for Yang to collect her thoughts first than to ask her what was wrong.

"I think I'm falling for Blake." Yang sighed, staring down at her hands.

Externally Taiyang kept a straight face but internally he was smiling, already knowing Blake feeling for his daughter since the first night they had met.

"I can't tell her can I?" Yang asked, looking downtrodden.

"Why do you think that? Taiyang inquired, trying to think of a way to convince Yang to go through with it.

"She just came back, I can't lose her again and if she doesn't feel the same she might run." Yang spoke, worry showing more and more on her face.

"I don't think she will run Yang. When i talked to her that first night the idea of hurting you brought her to tears. She cares about you Yang, more than you know." Taiyang said, smiling at Yang.

"So you think I should tell her?" Yang asked, hope and anxiousness present in her voice.

"I think you should plan out a day in town for the two of you and things of well and you feel like it's a good idea then yes tell her." Taiyang replied, watching Yang's hope slowly rise in front of him.

"Thanks Dad." Yang said, nearly tackling Taiyang in a hug.

"Anytime Yang. Now back to bed, you have to start planning your ." Taiyang teased, watching Yang leaving with a light blush colouring her face.

After sneaking back into her room, Yang collapsed into bed and looked over at Blake's sleeping form, glad she hadn't woken up during any of it before drifting off to sleep herself.
