Yang looked around the classroom making an attempt to pay attention to Professor Port's rant about how he was pinned up against a wall and using his own tenacity, he was able to kill a deathstalker by forcing the beast to penetrate its armor by using its own stinger, yet no matter how hard the blonde brawler tried to pay attention, she could not. Her attention was more centered towards her mistakes that she had made with her partner. The more Yang thought about her mistake the more she realized just how idiotic she was being, thinking that Blake honestly wouldn't mind displaying affection in public. Yang was brought out of her daydreaming by the sound of the bell, dismissing the students, and for some ending the torture that was being forced to listen to the Professor's tall tales. Before leaving to go to their next class, Yang decided to talk to her teammates.
"Hey, I'm not feeling that great, I think I'm going to head back to the dorm." The blonde said while clutching her stomach.
Ruby was the first to respond. "Do you need someone to help you to the dorm?"
"Nah. I should be fine, thanks for caring though! Don't worry about me, I'll sleep it off I'm sure."
After hearing this new information Blake and Weiss left knowing that Yang would be fine. Weiss most likely just wanted to be punctual to her next class as usual, but Yang suspected the reason for Blake's departure was that she was still upset with Yang's actions.
"If you say so." Ruby said with a tone that implied she didn't fully trust her sisters judgment.
After all was said and done Yang navigated the traffic that was Beacon Academy, and after dodging a few other students, she arrived at the team RWBY dorm. Yang was not actually sick at all, at least not in the traditional sense, instead her heart ached. Now Yang knew what she had to do. Yang grabbed a piece of paper from one of her note books, quickly scrawled some instructions for Blake to find, placed them within the book Blake was currently reading, and left the dorm.
After the following class had concluded, it was time for lunch. Blake decided to grab her current book from the dorm, and also to check on how Yang was faring. Blake may have still been upset with Yang, but that didn't mean she wanted her girlfriend to suffer.
As Blake approached the door she had to make a decision of whether or not to knock. She decided it was best to just enter since Yang was most likely sleeping off her sickness. Much to Blake's surprise, Yang was nowhere to be seen. Blake decided that she may have been feeling bad enough to need to go to the school's infirmary to get something for her stomach. The raven haired girl was a creature of logic, so her partner's absence did not panic her in any way. Blake walked out of the door, and had almost forgotten to grab her book. The truth that the amber eyed girl did not want to face was that she really didn't go to the dorm for her book, but more to check on her girlfriend.
As Blake went to grab her book, she felt something that was odd, her book felt as though there was something wedged within the pages. As the faunus girl opened her book, a crudely folded piece of paper was stuffed inside. The note read "Listen Blake I know that you are probably still upset with my actions yesterday, but I found out what I had done wrong, and would like to apologize to you. If you are willing to hear what I have to say, I will be waiting by the airships to Vale." Blake had decided to see what was going on with Yang and head to the airships, but first she had to send a text message to the rest of her teammates informing them that she would be absent for the time being.
As Blake headed to the airships she saw the blonde mane of her partner and was thankful that Yang was impossible to miss anywhere. As Blake drew nearer, and nearer to her girlfriend she got a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach, but Blake dismissed this as just anxiousness getting the better of her. The raven haired girl ran through all of her possible responses to Yang's apologies. She had decided that if Yang hit the nail on the head with what she did wrong, and make an honest attempt at an apology she would forgive her on the spot.
Yang saw her partner draw closer and closer, and with each passing step she felt more sweat collect on the palm of her hands. Now Yang actually did feel slightly sick to her stomach, worrying that somehow she would screw this up worse than the time that she tried to get Zwei down from a tree by punching the tree down to a stump. Yang was brought out of her reminiscing by the Blake standing just a few feet from her. Yang was the first to speak up. "Blake listen I know that I messed up in class yesterday, but I didn't know why, then Oobleck said something that made me realize exactly what I had done wrong."
"Oh... and what exactly might that be?" Blake said in a very snarky, and slightly threatening tone.
Yang was now sweating profusely worried that she had already screwed something up, now with all confidence drained from her she began turning into a stuttering mess. "Well... I-I mean I think I know what I did wrong... I mean I-I was pretty sure, but now I-I just don't know."
The faunus girl could not refrain from giggling. "Relax Yang, I was just messing with you. If I had known that I could rattle you so easily by just dating you, I would have been with you since freshman year."
Yang's face bore a frown that showed that she clearly was not amused with Blake's antics. Now Yang was speaking in a mildly annoyed tone. "You know... I was really worried that I had said something wrong already, but I guess that I had forgotten just how much you like being confrontational with people just for your own enjoyment. Well now if you're done yucking it up, may I continue with my heartfelt apology?" Blake's face had lost all joy in in from Yang's words, Blake felt slightly bad about screwing with her, but she wouldn't be Blake if she didn't. The amber eyed girl just nodded allowing her partner to finish her apology. "Thank you. Now I think I found out what I did wrong. I'm someone who has a very difficult time keeping their emotions hidden, and I usually display how I am feeling physically. Somehow, I had forgotten about how much you like to keep to yourself. When I kept trying to express how I was feeling in class, that must have frustrated you to no end. So I'm sorry I will try to keep myself in check better when in public, but I cannot promise that I will be able to keep it bottled up forever, but I can certainly try to make it less for your sake. So... Did I do good? Or did I screw up again… I screwed up again, didn't I?"
Blake stood next to Yang with her jaw dropped, completely speechless with how Yang was able to know what she was thinking. Now it was Blake's turn to be the stuttering idiot. "Yang... I-I don't even know what to say. Everything you said..." Blake began to tear up slightly.
Upon seeing her companion beginning to form tears, a wave of anxiety washed over the blonde brawler. "Oh no, I really did screw up again, didn't I?" The blonde asked remorsefully.
The raven haired girl simply nodded her head side to side. "No… Everything you said was perfect Yang."
Yang's face was now glowing with happiness. "So can I take that as an apology accepted?"
"Yes Yang, apology accepted."
"Great! But you know I really awful about what I did, and I believe actions speak much louder than words, so I would like to take you out on a lunch date in Vale, would you be willing to join me as a final means to say sorry?"
All that the raven haired girl could do in response was nod her head yes. "Great! Well, let's call an airship, and we will get going okay?"Again all that Blake could do was nod her head yes, she was just so taken away by everything that Yang was doing as an attempt to apologize.
Yang was now scuffing her boot on the stones of Beacon's courtyard, out of words to say. The sound of her boots squeaking against stone was soon overpowered by the sound of engines coming from the airship approaching Beacon. The blonde decided to break the moment of quiet between her and her girlfriend.
"Well... Guess that's our ride."
"Looks that way."
After a few moments passed the airship landed. The pilot of the airship asked for the two students to scan their scrolls to serve as a method of payment. All Beacons students were allowed unlimited Airship transport free of charge. After a short twenty minute airship ride, the black and yellow couple had reached their destination of downtown Vale.
Yang was the first to speak up. "So what are you feeling like eating? I could go for pretty much anything, I'm starving since I skipped breakfast."
Blake thought for a minute, then decide that they should choose together. "How about we walk around for a bit, then if either of us see a place we like, that's where we eat. Does that work for you?"
"Sure." After that was decided the two started walking around Vale looking for a place to eat. Yang walked around with her hands locked together, tucked behind her neck, elbows pointing out to her sides, while Blake walked with her arms crossed across her chest. After a while of walking while making small talk, Blake stopped dead in her tracks as though her feet were spontaneously glued to the sidewalk. Yang bumped into Blake and was about to ask what the deal was, but then she followed the line of the black haired girl's eyes, and saw what she was looking at.
A sushi restaurant.
"Is this where you want to eat?" Yang asked knowing the answer.
"Can we? It's been forever since I have had proper sushi." Blake said almost beginning to drool thinking about all of her favorite fish that were just a few steps away.
"Sure!" Yang replied enthusiastic, happy that Blake found something that she really wanted to eat. Sushi wasn't Yang's first choice, but she didn't care. All that mattered to her was that Blake was happy.
As the black and yellow couple entered the restaurant, the overpowering scent of fresh sushi hit their sense of smell like a train. The restaurant was very fancy, in the front entrance they had a small bridge with a small stream of water running flowing beneath, giving the restaurant a very unique and high class feeling. Once they had crossed the bridge, they met with a waiter that was dressed in formal attire. The waiter looked to be tired, but as soon as the couple came up to him, he put on a false sense of energy and started asking if they would prefer a booth or table. Yang looked at Blake waiting for her response.
"Booth please."
"Right this way then." After being escorted to a booth Yang and Blake sat across from one another, and then the waiter spoke up.
"First allow me to introduce myself. My name is Garnet, and I will be your waiter for today. What can I get you to drink?"
"Is there any chance that you can make a strawberry sunrise?"
"We can." The waiter shifted his gaze to Blake. "And for you?" He asked in a very polite tone.
"Lemon tea?" Blake asked in a hopeful and questioning tone.
"Of course. Now I will bring your drinks back here, in the meantime, the food is over there." The waiter gestured towards a back area of the restaurant. "All of the sushi is on display, and the chefs will prepare whatever you want fresh for you. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask." After that the waiter left, and let Blake and Yang get whatever they wanted to eat. After spending several minutes they each had gotten a large plate filled with colorful sushi. Yang's plate consisted of mostly the same types of sushi, while Blake's platter was brimming with a variety of different types. It appeared as though she had grabbed one of everything. As they were eating Yang took the helm of the conversation, asking if Blake had forgiven her completely, and she stated that she had. Both Yang and Blake were enjoying each others company and after both were done with their platters of assorted sushi, they each slid forward in the booth, allowing them to lie back slightly and place their hands on their stomachs. Yang and Blake both sighed in near unison, clearly satisfied from their meal. After a while Garnet came back to collect their plates.
"Was everything satisfactory?"
"It was delicious, thank you." Yang replied, after readjusting herself to be sitting more upright.
"Glad to hear it, I will be right back with the bill."
Yang started to grab her scroll but saw Blake reaching for hers as well. "Blake it's fine, I've got it this time."
"I really don't mind paying for at least my half of the meal. After all it was my idea to come here."
"But it was my idea to take you out to begin with." Yang gave a smirk knowing she had won. Blake just crossed her arms over her chest, but let had internally decided to let Yang pay for the next meal.
"Fine, but next date is on me." Blake stated confidently.
"Alright. Deal."
After a short period of time the waiter had returned with bill in hand. Yang handed him her scroll, and paid for their meal. After they had paid Blake and Yang looked outside to see that the sun was starting to set, and they had decided that they should probably stop playing hooky and return to Beacon.
When they returned they saw the ice queen and rambunctious Ruby Rose hard at work studying.
Ruby was the first to speak up. "WHERE WERE YOU GUYS!? I have been waiting for like ever for you to get back."
Yang and Blake both smiled at Ruby's Hyperactivity. Yang decided to take the lead. "Relax, I decided to play hooky, and then Blake came to the room to find me gone, and then we both decided to get lunch together off campus."
Ruby was eager to find out more details, rattling off questions ten miles a minute. "Where did you go? Was the food good? What kind of food did you get? Did you bring any back for me? How abou-" Ruby was interrupted by Yang.
"Calm down baby sis. We went to a sushi restaurant. The food was great. Sushi Obviously. No we didn't bring any back." Yang expertly handled all of Ruby's questions, as she had learned to do from many years of living with her. Blake and Weiss just stared at Yang slightly impressed with her ability to handle Ruby's hyperactivity so well. "Well... With all of that food in my stomach I think I am going to call it an early night, anyone else care to join me?"
Blake decided to be the first to respond. "Same here."
Next to reply was Weiss, "Well I was going to study for another hour or so, with Oobleck's quiz coming up, but sleep does sound nice. Ruby what about you?"
"Yeah, Sleep does sound pretty awesome right now doesn't it? Plus I am pooped from Port's ranting."
Yang decided to take the lead in the conversation. "Well, that settles it then. Team RWBY to sleep!"
Everyone began doing their nightly rituals, and everyone had gotten changed into their evening wear. Ruby wanted to check on team JNPR and go over tomorrow's schedule with Jaune while Weiss was brushing her teeth. Blake decided to take advantage of the opportunity and show some gratitude towards Yang. Blake got out from under her covers, then peeked her head up by Yang's bed.
"Hey Yang I just wanted to properly thank you for today. I really appreciate all of the work that you put into apologizing and making today special."
"Hey don't worry about it, I screwed up to begin with."
"Well let me just say thanks in a way that you might be more familiar with."
"Oh... and how might yo-" Yang was interrupted by Blake's soft lips being pressed up against her own. The black and yellow couple began getting lost in their own world, but they were very quickly snapped back to reality when the heard the sound of a door opening. Both of them broke their kiss and looked towards the bathroom door, within the doorway was a very shocked looking Weiss.
Yang decided to take control of the situation. "Listen if you tell anyone, you're dead ice queen!" After hearing Yang's threat Weiss threw up her arms in disbelief that Yang wouldn't trust her to not go blabbing. Weiss then shut the bathroom door. "Now kitty cat, where were we?" Yang began to lean in for another kiss, but her lips were stopped by Blake's hand.
"Nice try, but that's enough PDA for me for the night." Yang began to do her signature pouting face, which was very similar to Ruby's. Blake gave Yang a very quick peck on her forehead. "Good night Yang."
"Good night Blake. Sleep well."
