(Summary: Yang and Blake have a rough hangover, and can't remember the events of last night. Ruby treats them to her hangover cure breakfast and an afternoon out to the cinema while they try to piece together what happened the night before. Contains some fluffy cuddles.)Yang tried to lift herself from her bed, but fell back down when she felt the immense pain within the cranium of her skull. The night out clubbing in Vale had taken a toll on the poor girl's body, covered in bruises and scratches from falling over and maybe even getting into a fight.
Yang was no stranger to nights out in Vale, but no amount of clubbing could prepare you for the hangover that would surely follow. She finally rolled out of bed, and slipped on her slippers to make her way to the kitchen. She honestly felt like a zombie today, and she was pretty sure she could pass for one. Between the grogginess from a rough night's sleep, the bruises and scratches that covered her body, the way her head her head felt heavy, and how she shambled across the hallway, she was pretty sure she could pass for an undead monster.
She opened the door, the smell of bacon roasting filling her nose. She saw her sister dancing between the oven, kettle and microwave…and a seemingly equally hungover Blake, who sat at the breakfast bar with her head in her hands. Yang half smiled, smug at the idea at someone else sharing her suffering, but it soon disappeared when her stomach rumbled unpleasantly. Ruby turned around, smiling.
"Hello you party animal," Sang Ruby, brandishing a pan with cooking bacon inside.
"You want some of your sister's hangover cure?"
Yes, thought Yang, but not after waking up immediately. Her stomach's protests continued to grow, and Yang could feel her body preparing to let loose everything from the previous night. She made a mad dash for the sink, hoping to save her sister or herself from the gruelling task of mopping up her vomit. She was successful in her short lived mission, retching slightly, then throwing up violently. In her mind, she was thankful there were no dishes in the basin. She heard Ruby put her pan down and felt her own hair being held up away from her face, a reassuring hand on her back.
"I'll take that as a no. How about coffee?"
Yang was able to stop vomiting to nod quickly before recommencing emptying her guts.
"I'll get on it when you are done," Ruby sighed, rubbing her sister's back.
oo0ooYang sat opposite Blake, mirroring her position perfectly. Ruby had cooked Blake some bacon and eggs, but she barely ate any of it, only managing small nibbles every so often. The mug next to her sat unattended, a trail of steam coming off the coffee. Yang had decided to text her friends – Neptune, Sun and Scarlet – who went out with her last night to discern what had happened last night. The two barely said a word the whole time they sat at the table, not even after Ruby gave them both some Ibuprofen to dull their suffering. All the while, Ruby danced around the kitchen, cleaning and cooking. All the while she did this, she smiled smugly at the two miserable souls that shared the same room as her. Finally, she broke the silence.
"Should we do something tonight?"
Yang wanted to stay in and recover from her rather violent hangover but when she went to speak, a burp escaped from her mouth and she covered her lips with her hand, fearing she may accidentally ruin Ruby's job of cleaning. Blake simply nodded and continued to massage her head, groaning from the pain and pleasure rubbing her temples caused her.
"We could go to the cinema?"
Blake nodded a smile on her face. Despite the intense pain she was going through, she liked the idea of them doing something together as a flat. Yang nodded too. There were films she wanted to see, and she planned to chill in a dark room anyway, so why not do it surrounded with good company? She burped again, getting a slight giggle from Ruby.
"I'll just get my laptop then,"
"Don't worry, I'll get it," Said Yang, hopping off her chair and speeding into her little sister's room, soon followed by violent sounds of Yang being sick. Ruby rushed to her room, and found her big sister with her head in the toilet bowl. She bent over and held Yang's hair back. She heard Blake run past, and heard fainter sounds of the raven haired girl being sick.
Fuck sake, thought Ruby, am I going to have to deal with this all year?
"YOU TWO BETTER HAVE A SHOWER AND BRUSH YOUR TEETH BEFORE WE LEAVE!"
oo0oo
It was colder than the girls had anticipated, so they rushed back into the flat to wrap up. Ruby wore her red hoodie which was pretty much her second skin; Blake got a black overcoat, while Yang wore her usual leather jacket. The journey to the cinema took longer than it needed to, thought it passed without further incident. Blake and Yang occasionally walked into an alley to go to puke, but all they managed to do was just retch and spit, much to Ruby's delight – it meant no more holding back their hair. When they got to the cinema, Ruby paid for the tickets, claiming "my treat for you two pissheads". She also bought the snacks, though she just a large popcorn and juice for herself. Blake only got a small bottle of water, and Yang a can of coke. When they got into the cinema room, they were the only people inside, so they took full advantage of it. Yang kicked her legs up on the chair in front of her, pulled out her phone to read the texts she received from her friends, popping her juice open as read. Ruby slouched in her chair and put up her hood, getting comfortable in her spot. Blake simply sat up in her chair, still rubbing her temples.
"Oh," Yang said out of the blue.
"What's up?" Blake whispered.
"Ok, I'll read the text I got from Sun. "Yang, you were a proper mess last night. You ended up arguing with the bouncer when he wouldn't let you in. So you sat with Blake outside and apparently talked with a bunch of random people who passed you by. Then we went to MacDonald's, and you were pretty chill there.""
Yang nodded once, smiling. Usually her nights out were more eventful, so she was half glad she didn't make too much of an ass of herself in front of her new room mate…if she remembered anything at all.
"Your friends say anything about me?"
Yang shook her head. Blake looked back to the blank cinema screen, nodding but also worried in case Yang's friends didn't like her. Ruby patted her sister's back.
"Some of the things you said when you came home were adorable,"
"Like what?" Yang looked at Ruby, her eyebrows raised.
Ruby shrugged.
"You were just like "RUBY…I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!"" Yelled Ruby, imitating a drunken Yang, flailing her arms and legs while slurring her words. Her impression got a giggle from both Yang and Blake, but the lights in the hall dimmed, which caused them to go quiet. The film they had decided to see was an action film they all had wanted to see, so they were all rapt with attention when the starting credits rolled up.
oo0oo"What a fucking disappointment," huffed Blake.
"Ugh, I know", grunted Ruby.
"hmmm," Yang hummed. Though she couldn't deny the film was terrible, it wasn't the worst experience ever, especially since Yang found her cute black haired room mate falling asleep on her shoulder halfway through the film. Then she realized something.
"Wait, you fell asleep in there! How did you know it was bad?"
Blake looked her smiling, and huffing once in a single laugh.
"Yang, I have seen my share of shitty movies, but I have never, ever fell sleep in a cinema,"
"Have you ever gone to a cinema with a hangover?" Yang retorted.
"No, I guess not. Why? Did you think it was good?"
"Nah, I see your point," muttered Yang in a tone of defeat, submitting to Blake. She turned to Ruby, hoping to change the subject, but found her on the phone?
"…ok, two minutes? Alright, thank you!" Smiled Ruby, hanging up and putting her phone in her hoodie's pocket.
"Who were you phoning?" Yang questioned, though she could probably gues what it was.
"Taxi, I really can't be bothered walking,"
Yang nodded. On a normal day, she would debate with Ruby that it was a nice enough day for a walk and they could use the fresh air, but it was still pretty cold outside and she was honestly still feeling sick from her hangover. Blake was feeling the same. Despite the chilling whether, she felt a thin layer of sweat gather on her forehead. This hangover was really doing a number on her. A taxi sounded awesome at this point, anything that helped her get to her bed fast.
oo0ooYang rolled about in her bed, clutching her stomach in pain. The first thing that Yang did when she got home was jump out of her normal clothes, jump into a pair of trackies and a t-shirt that was three sizes too big, and laid down in her bed. She had tried to get some sleep, but the pain she felt refused to let Yang get any rest. Though her headache subsided slightly, her stomach still refused to accept any food, even though she was starving. She looked up when she heard the door slide open and reveal the small form of her sister, who crawled into bed with her sister.
"Hey, no shoes on –"
"I'm in my socks, Yang. I heard your moaning and groaning, thought I'd come and give you cuddles,"
Yang smiled and wrapped her arms around the small redhead's body, spooning her. Ruby was the best sister anyone could have, both in general and when recovering from a hangover.
"Who needs a boyfriend or girlfriend when I got you?" Yang whispered, smelling Ruby's strawberry scented hair.
"Yang, that couldn't have sounded any more dodgy," Ruby giggled. Yang face palmed herself, both for saying something so weirdly ambiguous, and for ruining the moment.
"Shut up, I was trying to be cute and sweet, ok?" Yang said, then heard the door to her room swing open a second time.
"What you two giggling about?" Blake said, her voice ringing throughout the room.
"BLAKEE! Come join us for cuddles!" Yelled Ruby happily, though it was a little too loud for Yang's brain to register comfortably. Blake popped around in a silk spaghetti strap top and white pyjama bottoms with small black kitten heads.
"Do I have to?" Blake muttered in a false tone of disinterest, though she secretly wanted to join them.
"Please?" Whispered Ruby, looking up at Blake with puppy dog eyes and a forced look of sadness on her face. No need for the sad face, thought Blake, you didn't need to ask.
"If I must, I must" Said Blake, suddenly smiling, laying down against Ruby, who spooned her before Blake had a chance to adjust herself comfortably, wrapping her arms around her belly. She felt a second set of hands just below Ruby's, though she didn't protest. Even though she was barely on the single bed, it felt nice.
"Nice pyjama bottoms by the way, Blake," said Yang, though there was no hint of malice or mocking in her voice.
"Thanks, they protect my virginity," joked Blake, causing the two sisters to laugh softly. Ruby brought herself closer to Yang, and took Blake with her. They sat in comfortable silence. Well, as comfortable as a single bed with three girls tightly packed together could get.
"Well, this is cosy." Said Yang, "I got my butt and my back pressed against the wall,"
"What you complaining about? I'm nearly falling off the bed!" Whispered Blake. But still, she thought to herself jokingly, I'm in bed with two beautiful women, so can't complain too much.
"Yeah? Well, I'm cooking in between you two" Ruby piped up, which was true. Despite the layer of sweat that was rapidly building up, she wasn't too uncomfortable, and she felt happy cuddling up with her sister and new friend.
"Well, you got most of the blanket," whispered Yang. And our hot room mate has her bum against your crotch, so what you moaning about? Yang thought to herself. Pretty soon, silence fell over them again, and this time it was lasted hours as they all fell asleep in each other's arms, the last one being Yang. Before she fell asleep, she smiled as she thought there were a lot more worse ways to spend a hangover.
(Notes: hey guys! I'm sorry this took so long, but between not being sure what to write and getting ready for my first year at uni starting in like a week, this took a lot longer than expected. I remember a couple of people saying I wrote bumblebee a bit too quickly, and I apologize, I wasn't sure what I was trying to accomplish. I am also going to try and space out events in later chapters. Please enjoy guys!)
