OAN: You're going to have to forgive me because my passage of time is absolutely horrible and I'm very forgetful. Ugh, I'm old. Anyway, here it is.
An Eventful Morning
Blake's POV
It felt like wrecking balls were crashing into one another on the inside of my head as I made my way downstairs. I needed tons of water and some paracetamol. I didn't even like drinking so as to why I drank so much last night can only be explained by me getting caught up in the moment. I opened the fridge and got a bottle of water, chugging it mere seconds after I twisted off the top. An oasis of cool and refreshing liquid soothed my dry throat and I instantly felt better.
"You're supposed to drink that not inhale it." I turn towards the direction of the voice to see Taiyang with hands full of groceries and a batch of a dozen donuts balanced on his head. He placed the bags on the island in the middle of the kitchen and dropped his keys that were held between his teeth. This family was full of odd characters.
"Hey Taiyang," I greeted as I walked over to him and lifted the pastries from his head, ceasing his balancing act.
"Couldn't have taken two trips?"
"Two trips are for the weak! Real men do it in one," he said as he flexed his biceps and made a face so like Blue Steel that it made me chuckle.
"So how was it last night?" he asked as we began to put away the groceries.
"It was slightly hectic." I reflected on events that I could remember. People playing dart-tag, fireball shots, makeshift football between the stoners and the jocks, and worst of all my little '15 minutes of fame'.
"Ya know, I kind of thought that when I saw a kid passed out in my bushes."
"When did you see that?" I asked putting the last of the things away and folding the recyclable bags to put in their pantry.
"Around 5 this morning when I came in."
"I think you're the only parent I know who willingly lets his daughters throw parties that can get out of control in a blink of an eye." He opened the box of donuts and grabbed a glazed maple syrup long john while I settled for a chocolate one with sprinkles. We walked to the living room where we sat on couches.
"Well I think a little freedom is always good for the soul," he replied with a mouthful of mashed sustenance. He was so much like Yang. Scratch that, Yang was so much like him. Scary.
"Well, Yang's getting to be a handful Taiyang. My leash can only be shortened so many times," I say faking my exasperation with a mighty exhale. Luckily, he caught on.
"If anyone can handle her it's Blake Belladonna. I'm not worried at all," he shot back as we both finished our donuts. Just as I was about to respond, I hear heavy footsteps coming down the steps. Most likely Yang bounding down the stairs.
"Where's my beloved?" a loud sing-song voice filled the air. Yep, it's her. As if it could be anyone else.
"In here," Taiyang answered.
A blur of gold flashed in front of me and before I knew what was happening, Yang jumped into my lap upside down to where her legs were outstretched on either side of my head while her head was dangling inches from the floor. She crossed her arms over her chest.
"Umph! Yang Xiao Long, my head is killing me and I ache. Behave," I grunted.
"You sound like some old lady," she teased.
"Shut it. While you're at it, close your legs too."
"You love being between my legs though," she smirked and my face slightly burned a light pink.
"Hey," Taiyang interrupted with a warning tone before continuing, "do whatever you want but don't talk about it in front of me."
"Right on Daddy-o," Yang said as she sat up properly on my lap, effectively straddling me. I hoped and prayed her intentions were pure. They were. Her hands went to my cheeks and slightly brushed against them with each of her thumbs as she gazed into my eyes.
"How are you feeling?"
"I'm okay, I already took some medicine for it."
"Well that's good to hear," Taiyang said as he got up to open the curtains and let the rays of the sun illuminate the room. I squinted at the bright light.
"You know what else was good to hear."
"Stop it," I warned sensing where she was going with this.
"My Blakey was a young Aretha Franklin last night. Man, I would kill to have that on video. Dad, it was golden." I, being embarrassed, slapped her shoulders in a way to communicate that I wanted her off me. "Aweeeee babeeeee," she cooed and tried to nuzzle into me.
"Get off of me."
"Where's the love, Blakey-poo?"
"You shot it in the face you inconsiderate idiot," I responded as she slid off me and sat beside me.
"Tch," she sucked at her teeth and pouted. Paying no attention to her, my ears caught the sound of two sets of footsteps treading down the stairs.
"Hey guys," Ruby chirped as she walked into the living room to sit by her father. She was trailed by the one and only Ice Queen.
"Oh, Weiss stayed over too?" Taiyang asked not expecting an answer as he could clearly see that she had.
"Oh, you bet she did," I directed to her with a playful smirk. She shot me a blood-curdling glare that would have intimidated me if I hadn't known her as well as I did. Shut up! she mouthed before turning to Taiyang as she sat down on Ruby's right side while her father was on her left.
"Good morning Taiyang."
"Morning Weiss. How did you sleep?"
"Pretty well."
"Really now?" I ask amused at the thought of teasing her. I couldn't resist, it was so easy and entertaining.
"Yes," she said through gritted teeth.
"And how did you find last night, enjoyable?" he questioned, not picking up on the undertones of my teasing.
I let out a hearty laugh, "Oh she enjoyed it alright."
"Well that's great to know," he said flipping on the television and putting on football. However, he turned down the volume in consideration of our conversation. Yang looked Ruby and Weiss over from head to toe. Ruby was wearing gray plaid pajama pants and a plain black t-shirt. Weiss was wearing one of Ruby's big red hoodies and black workout shorts that went to her knees. All Ruby's clothes; it was so obvious they slept with one another. They might as well have it tattooed on their foreheads.
Yang seemed to pick up on this and the slight aura change surrounding them.
"Why's she wearing your clothes, Rubes?"
Weiss visibly stiffened. So obvious.
"She couldn't sleep in what she was wearing last night so I gave her something to wear," Ruby responded easily and acting as if she was too absorbed with the game to be bothered to conversate.
I decided to help change the subject before more questions came to be.
"There are donuts in the kitchen."
Ruby and Yang bolted straight up with eyes glistening with joy and eagerness. Weiss and I shared a look that conveyed that we both knew we were stuck with these puppy-like idiots. Yang looked at me and Ruby looked at Weiss, silently asking for permission to go. With a simple nod from both of us, they sprinted into the kitchen. I looked back at Weiss and my eyes shot all the way open as I cooly gestured for her to pull up the baggy hood. She looked down and saw that the marks were showing. She adjusted it and bowed her head slightly as a show of thanks.
"So, will we be seeing more of you 'round here?" Taiyang asked as he turned up the volume slightly.
A smile graced her features as she stood to walk to the kitchen. "I should hope so."
I trailed behind her as we walked in on the spectacle that was our significant others. Well actually, were Weiss and Ruby actually dating? I'd have to ask her later because my focus was directed to Yang. She was the worse of the two with crumbs all over her face and her mouth wide as she proudly displaying her food for the world to see.
"Chew, love," I chided and rested my elbows on the counter beside Yang.
She let out a squeal of delight. "Ids suh guud."
"Wait until you're done before you talk." I knew it was pointless to tell her since I knew she wouldn't listen, but I didn't mind.
"So, Weiss, when is the day that we're going to see that orchestra show?"
"I can't remember. I'll check later."
"Show?" I asked a little lost.
"Yeah, Weiss got me chocolates from Switzerland, a phone I can operate just by voice and sounds, and tickets for a show we're gonna see as birthday presents."
Yang gasped. "Buying things for others, does this mean the Ice Queen has a heart?" she asked in a fake surprised way.
"Shut up."
Yang let out a loud and boisterous laugh and rounded the island to pull Weiss into a bone-crushing hug.
"Thanks for making her birthday great kiddo," she thanked her genuinely. Not going to lie, it was sweet to see.
"No problem. Just let me down before you kill me," Weiss wheezed.
Yang placed her down but let her hands go to her shoulders and looked Weiss in the face. "Really Weiss, thanks for making her happy. It's good to know she has people to look out for her when I can't."
"I'm happy to be of assistance," she said with a slight smile as she glanced over to Ruby.
Yang let out a questioning hum and tilted her head to the side; something had caught her attention and she didn't understand it. I recognized that motion. She'd done that many times before but when I saw where her eyes fell, I internally panicked.
"Yo Weiss, you've got something kind of purple on the side of your neck."
"Uhh...Weiss!"
Yang pulled the collar of the jacket Weiss was wearing and saw the abundant amount of marks that really meant one thing. Her eyes widened and her pupils radiated anger. Her fingers gripped the collar so tightly, her knuckles were white and she was trembling.
"Yang! You need to let her go and calm down." I pleaded as I rushed over to her side. I tried prying her off Weiss, but her strength was a force to be reckoned with.
"Woah, what's happening?" Ruby asked in a fearful way.
"Wait a minute, Yang. Calm down. Let's talk about this like civil adults." Weiss struggled to say as she squirmed in Yang's hold at least 5 inches off the ground.
"Weiss. Schnee. I know that you didn't lay a finger on my baby sister. I. Know. That. You. Wouldn't. Do. That. You. Swine." Yang said in a voice so low and full of anger, it almost sounded demonic.
"Yang please!" Ruby pleaded as she rushed over to the noise, helpless but determined to make her sister stop and see the error of her ways.
Taiyang entered the room, probably because of all the noise. "What's going on in here?"
Yang looked over her shoulder to face her father. Weiss utilized Yang being distracted and threw herself out of her grip. She ran to the opposite side of the island as Yang. "This twat slept with Ruby! Her neck is more purple than Barney! I swear she's covered in hickeys and love bites. Just imagine what she did to Ruby. She probably tore her up... Oh my Lord," she said as she slightly bent over. Yang placed her hands over her mouth, she looked nauseous. The very thought of them doing that together must've made her ill.
"Yang, come on calm down." Taiyang requested in an attempt to ease her nerves. It didn't work.
Yang looked up at the white-haired girl with a new sense of fury. She picked up the flower vase that was closest to her and chucked it at the heiress. Weiss yelped and tried to jump out of the way of the vase. She managed to only get cut by some shards while the rest shattered on the wall behind her. She made a run for Ruby's room. Yang wasn't giving up, she began to run after her.
"Yang! Stop it now I mean it!" I yelled as I sprinted after the two. I ran in Ruby's doorway to see Weiss standing atop Ruby's bed with her phone in her hand doing a good job of evading as Yang lunged side to side trying to catch her. To be honest, this reminded me of those lion tamers and lions in the movies. This was scarier than the movies, this was Yang and this lion could not be tamed. Yang tried jumping straight for Weiss, but Weiss managed to jump over her arms (track starring it for sure) and head for the door, where I was. "Good luck," I hollered over my shoulder as I tried to block Yang, so I could buy Weiss some time.
"Move Blake!" Yang growled.
"Yang, you aren't in your right mind so stop it right now." She wasn't hearing anything else I had to say as she picked me up and placed me behind her in one fluid motion. She then took off down the stairs after Weiss, throwing picture frames at her. She kept missing her (thank the Lord) as I shouted for her to stop from behind the pursuit.
Weiss reached the bottom of the staircase where Taiyang and Ruby were.
She rushed over to Ruby and placed a quick kiss on both her cheeks and lips.
"I'm sorry but we'll talk later, okay?"
"Yeah, that's fine but-"
"Weiss, you're bleeding!" Taiyang gasped in horror.
"I'll be okay Taiyang. I hope we can talk later and I can explain all this over-"
"You're dead!" Yang yelled finally reaching the bottom of the stairs and jumping for Weiss.
Taiyang rushed over and held Yang back while Weiss ran for the door.
"Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for having me," she said as she quickly rushed out the door. I looked around the house. It was trashed, and everyone was shocked except for the girl who was thrashing about in her father's grasp.
I exhaled and sat on the steps. That was a complete disaster.
OAN: Alright so that'll be all for now. Again, I'm forgetful, so forgive me for being a little later than you'd like on updates. Thanks for reading.
AN: well that was eventful. A shorter chapter again (although really, I could have merged it with the last chapter). Anyways hope you enjoyed chapter 7, and I'll catch you on the flipside for Chapter 8: A fresh start
