Rain turned to snow as the hours crawled by. Ruby was hard at work at the cafe. After the morning rush, the cafe was void of customers. The door chime resounded as someone walked in. Her heart skipped a beat when she turned around, expecting to see Weiss.

"Good morning sis!" Yang bellowed in the doorway as she marched to the counter. A shadowed figure followed close behind her. As they neared, Ruby noticed they were holding hands.

"Oh, Good morning Yang," Ruby replied pensively, "You're here even earlier than last time."

"Yeah, I know. I actually came here to tell you something!" Yang crooned, "I'd like you to meet a really good friend of mine. Ruby, this is Blake." She motioned to her companion, "Blake, this is my little sister Ruby."

Ruby eyed her sister's friend. 'That bow on her head looks like cat ears…' After dismissing that silly thought, she extended her hand to greet Blake when their eyes met. Blake had bright, yellow eyes that contrasted her pitch black hair. Her gaze pierced through Ruby's soul as she hesitantly grasped her hand. "Hello Ruby. I'm Blake Belladonna."

'I thought my sister was intimidating...' Ruby thought as she shook her hand. "It's nice to meet you Blake!" As their hands disconnected, she noticed that Blake had black ribbons around her forearms as part of her outfit. 'Those look awfully familiar...'

Yang firmed her grip on Blake's hand, "Sooo… There's no other way to say it. Blake is my girlfriend! We've actually been dating for awhile now." She announced with joy, as she wrapped an arm around her partner. Blake stayed silent with only what seemed to be a shy smirk, only blushing.

Ruby was surprised by the news. 'I knew I've seen those ribbons before! And she has been a little distant lately.' Ruby pondered. "Aw I'm happy for you two! Why did it take you this long to tell me?! I'm your sister!"

"Well, I didn't want you to think I was weird or anything for liking another girl..."

"Really Yang? Am I really that shallow?" Ruby inquired, pretending to be offended.

"You're right sis," Yang confessed, "I should have told you sooner."

"Well regardless, I think it's great that you're happy!" Ruby said with solace, "Blake, is there anything I can get you to drink?"

"An Earl Grey tea latte would be great!" Blake replied, seeming more at ease.

"Good choice! And you Yang?"

"Make whatever you did last time! Can you make it hot?"

"I gueesss!" Ruby smirked sarcastically. As she walked towards the counter, she found herself smiling, almost jealous. 'Well if Yang has a girlfriend, maybe she can give me some advice about Weiss...' Ruby finished up their drinks, and carried them over to the table. Blake was resting her head on Yang's shoulder reading a book. Yang was playing on her phone with one hand, and the other was around Blake, twirling her obsidian hair. Ruby sat the cups down, and took a seat across from them. The couple thanked her, and immediately took their respective drinks.

The first thing Yang did was attempt take a huge gulp. "OH MY GOD THAT BURNED" She howled almost spitting out hder coffee. "I think I burnt my tongue!" Yang frowned and turned to her lover, "Hey Blake, think you could kiss it to make it feel better?" She said slyly.

"Maybe later...!" Blake replied with a mischievous smile in return.

"AHEM…" Ruby coughed loudly to remind them of her presence.

Yang giggled and returned her focus to Ruby, "So, how did your 'date' with Weiss go?"

"That's actually what I wanted to talk to you about. So you see, we watched a movie-" Ruby was interrupted by the sound of customers coming in. "Hmm... If you guys are busy, I can stop by your house when I get off of work."

"Actually I'm going to be at Blake's for the day sis, but you can text me if you'd like." Yang consoled.

Blake noticed that Ruby looked disheartened at the notion.

"You're more than welcome to come over, Ruby. I actually don't live too far from Yang's house," Blake suggested.

"Aw are you sure babe?" Yang smiled, with a hint of annoyance in her voice.

Ruby's mood lightened immediately. 'Aw that's sweet of her… It would probably be better to get two opinions anyway!'

"Of course I'm sure!" Blake chimed, playfully glaring at Yang.

Ruby ignored Yang's tone, and delighted at the idea. "Sound's good!" she responded as she jolted back to the register to continue to take orders.


After a long day of customers and coffee, Ruby finished up her shift and headed home to change before heading to Blake's. She pulled up to a navy blue house with a black trim. Ruby got a quick sense of uneasiness, as if the shadows were watching her. Walking through the gate, she gulped as she knocked on the door.

Ruby was greeted by a two pairs of sharp yellow eyes. "Oh, you're here!" Blake chimed, "Yang, Ruby just arrived."

Ruby nearly flinched at the sight of four matching eyes, but after closer inspection, Blake was holding a black cat that blended with her clothing. The cat mewed at Ruby as she stepped through the doorway, jumping out of Blake's arms, and scampering down the hallway. "Oh don't mind him. That's Gambol, my pet cat." Blake smirked. Ruby noticed she didn't smile a lot. She doesn't know how she could tell, but she felt that Blake had a kind soul.

"Thanks for having me over Blake, I really appreciate it." Ruby commented politely. Glancing around the house she could tell it was almost the polar opposite of Weiss's house. Black was the main color theme, making the interior look dim, but cozy. Thinking about Weiss's house made Ruby cringe slightly, and reminded her of why she came over in the first place.

"So sis, what did you need to tell me?" Yang questioned loudly.

"I can give you both some privacy, if needed." Blake offered.

"No it's fine, actually I'd like your thoughts on the subject too, Blake," Ruby motioned for her to stay, "It'd be nice to get advice from two different perspectives."

Blake nodded and motioned for Ruby to have a seat. Sitting down, Gambol leered at Ruby from the corner of the hallway. Dismissing the cat, she took a deep breath. "It's about Weiss."

"Did she hurt you sis?!" Yang shouted, standing out of her seat, "What did she do?!"

Blake almost instantaneously nudged the back of fiery girl's knee. Not hard, but with enough force to make her sit back down. "Now Yang, let Ruby explain before going into big sister mode." Blake calmly cooed into Yang's ear. She proceeded to put an arm around the golden haired girl. In no time at all, Yang was subdued.

'Oh my god… Nobody has ever been able to calm her down that fast.' Ruby held in a giggle after seeing her sister's temper put out in less than 4 seconds flat. "She didn't do anything," Ruby explained, "In a weird way, it's something I did."

Yang opened her mouth, but Blake squeezed her gently to remind her to stay calm. "Please continue Ruby."

"Well, as Yang knows, Weiss invited me over to see a movie. Everything was going fine. Great actually. I got cold, and she brought me a blanket. She decided to sit next to me, and shortly after, I noticed her shivering. So I did what any other sane person would have done, and I scared her by jumping on her and wrapping her in the blanket."

"More like what any INsane person would do!" Yang laughed. Before Blake could react, Ruby threw a couch pillow into Yang's face. "Look, I know it's called a 'throw' pillow, but you don't have to throw it!" Yang shouted, laughing even harder.

Blake couldn't help but to hide her giggle behind her hand, trying not to encourage the pun-loving girl. Regaining her composure, she turned back to Ruby. "What happened next Ruby? It all sounds innocent so far."

"That's the thing. After that, we shared the blanket, and the next thing I knew, I was waking up laying on the couch with her.

"Did she put something in your drink?!" Yang practically yelled. Blake stayed her hand, seeing as it was a relevant question.

"No! I made us decaf coffee and brought it to her house! The drinks never left my sight!"

"… Did you put something in the drinks?" Yang asked puzzled.

"OH GOD, NO YANG! What kind of sicko do you think I am?! I was just drained from work, and I'm sure she was tired from school and studying. You saw her yesterday morning, she looked exhausted."

"Yeah, I suppose you're right." Yang commented.

"Anyway, when I woke up, we were sort of… cuddling. In a way." Ruby mumbled.

"Aw! Sis do you have a crush on her?" Yang squealed. Ruby turned as red as the cloak she was wearing. "You do!"

"Don't be embarrassed Ruby. Love knows no bounds." Blake simply said with a smile. Yang turned to Blake and pecked a light kiss on her cheek, causing the black haired girl to turn just as red as Ruby.

Ruby looked longingly at the adorable couple. "See that's exactly what I want with Weiss!" she shouted without thinking.

"So what advice did you need sis? It sounds like you guys had a great night together. Movie, cuddles… 'sleep'!" Yang winked at her little sister.

"Not exactly…" Ruby averted her eyes, "She… I mean I… Um…"

"Come on, spit it o-mmft" Yang was muffled by Blake's hand.

"Relax Ruby. There's no judgment here." Blake smiled warmly.

"Thank you Blake," Ruby sighed, "I woke up spooning with Weiss. My arms were around her, under her shirt, and I was holding her… Uh, chest." Ruby felt heat rushing over her body from the thought of it. "And no, she wasn't wearing anything under…"

At this point, Yang could see that her little sister was distraught, and really needed advice. She and Blake both politely stayed silent until Ruby was finished with the events that unfolded.

"Sound's to me like she was totally comfortable enough with you to take off her bra! You should ask her out!" Yang chanted with delight.

"I don't know…" Ruby muttered, deterred.

"Maybe you should wait until you see her again. If you do invite her anywhere, ask her to see you at the café after your shift. Or at least something along those lines, just as long as you're honest with her." Blake advised.

"I think I'm going to sleep on that decision." Ruby remarked. Yang could see how discouraged her sister was.

"Whatever you do, and whatever happens, I'll always be here for you sis." Yang smiled as she gave her little sister a warm bear hug.

"I know we've only just met, but I'm here for you too. As Yang stated, we've dated for awhile, and known each other even longer. She's told me so much about you, and I think you have the courage to do what your heart wants." Blake reassured.

Ruby's eyes began to water at the thought of being loved, even if she was rejected. In that moment, she was ready for anything.

She smiled, still unsure of how she's going to approach the situation.

'I think I'm in love with her...!'
