Blake gave a disapproving frown as Neo forcefully yanked Yang away. The blonde gave her an apologetic look before being dragged away from the faunus, promising she'd be right back. Once a ways a way the two were animatedly moving their hands, using damn sign language to be discreet. Yang's back was to Blake who stood away from them, waiting for her partner so they could go to Port's class.

Neo glanced at Blake with a smug smile before leaning up and kissing Yang's jaw. The faunus narrowed her eyes at the gesture while Yang cursed at Neo, taking a step backwards.

"Do you always have to do that?" She asked grumpily, clearly embarrassed that the short girl had done it in front of everyone. Neo nodded in response, casting Blake another infuriating smirk. The girl was obviously enjoying Blake's glare as she, once again, got in Yang's personal space.

Gauging Blake's reaction the entire time, Neo's smugness never vanished as she signed to Yang, turning her attention back to the brawler. The brawler laughed before nodding. They continued signing back and forth for a moment, Neo throughly entertained by Blake's agitation as she kept glancing her way.

"Alright," Yang finally said before patting the girl affectionately on the head,"catch ya later, Shorty." Neo signed something else making Yang blush and she crossed her arms over her chest awkwardly,"Shut up." She grumbled, turning back to Blake with a scowl, clearly not liking her discussion with Neo.

"What was that all about?" Blake asked and Yang shook her head in annoyance.

"Just Neo being horny, nothing new." She mumbled grumpily and Blake smiled slightly.

"Kind of like you." She pointed out and Yang looked at her in shock.

"I am NOT horny-"

Blake interrupted with a snort,"You've asked Pyrrha for sex, you've asked me for sex, you slap my ass, you let Neo kiss you, you let Neptune kiss you-"

"He was drunk!" Yang protested,"That's not even fair, I didn't know he'd kiss me! I mean he's cute an all but the kiss was gross. I didn't want him to. And I didn't want Neo to kiss me either!" She scowled angrily and Blake rolled her eyes before continuing.

"You flirt with just about everyone." Yang was silent about that one, actual anger flashing through her eyes, and Blake knew she shouldn't have said that. The brawler turned away from Blake, lips pulling into a thin line, but Blake couldn't find any remorse for her comment.

Blake was bitter...hell...possibly jealous about Yang's flirting. She didn't know why, just seeing Yang flirt with Pyrrha one minute then herself and then some random guy, was extremely agitating. Blake had come to terms that she felt...something for this girl. She cared deeply for her and craved to have more than just friendship with the blonde. But Yang was making that difficult by casually hitting on people.

They were supposed to bond tonight and Blake knew that she wasn't helping them prepare for it. If anything she was unintentionally pushing Yang away, she didn't want to, she was just...frustrated.

Blake sighed and put a hand on Yang's shoulder, causing her to stop moving,"Yang, I didn't mean it, I was just frustrated and I'm sorry-"

Yang shrugged off her hand before glancing at her briefly,"No, you're right, I do flirt a lot..." She paused before smiling to herself slightly,"...but don't worry Blakey. When I manage so snatch me a boyfriend or girlfriend, then I'll focus all of my charms on them." Purple eyes lightened at the mere thought of whoever Yang cared about so much. Blake felt her heart twist with an unknown feeling.

"...do you already have someone in mind?" She questioned somewhat nervously, she hated herself for feeling so much...everything. All these emotions were jumbled up and they made her head hurt, Yang made her head hurt.

Yang smirked at her,"Eh, maybe." She shrugged evasively and Blake frowned.

"Is it Pyrrha?" She couldn't help but ask, she knew Yang had feelings for the red haired warrior.

The smirk slipped from Yang's lips and she thought for a moment,"No." A bitter smile replaced the genuine one,"Seems it'll never happen. I should be realistic," She shrugged before smiling broadly at Blake,"not to mention this girl is probably better." So it's a girl...that Yang likes more than Pyrrha?

Blake held in a scowl, she couldn't compete with Pyrrha, and now some girl was better than the amazon? How?

"Well," Blake pried gently,"what's her name?" She asked and Yang smiled again, all traces of anger left her face.

"Her name is, Puns, and we'll live happily ever after. She's the only woman that truly, punderstands me!" Yang joked, dodging Blake's question much to the faunus's annoyance. But Blake brushed it off, deciding to allow Yang her privacy.

"That was awful." She groaned and Yang laughed before slinging an arm around her affectionately.

"Not as awful as you singing in the shower." She teased and Blake's eyes widened before she snarled at the girl.

"You listen in on my showering!" She always sang softly to herself, never loud enough for anyone to hear, it was easy to forget that Yang was part faunus. The blonde drew away from her, smiling sheepishly as she twiddled her thumbs and shrugged.

"Erm...well, I don't mean to listen! I just hear you sometimes and...your voice isn't half bad actually." Yang was blatantly lying and they both knew it. Blake couldn't sing for shit. The raven haired girl was fuming now, feeling as though her privacy was invaded, and feeling utterly humiliated that Yang could hear her sing. Blake sung quietly for a reason, so no one would hear her.

"Yang Xiao Long!" Blake growled, the two were now stopped in the vacant hallway,"Next time I shower, take a walk, go to the library, leave me in peace!" Blake huffed as she poked the girl's chest roughly. Yang rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest.

"Blake, it's no big deal." Yang grinned,"I sing in the shower all the time!" She stated boisterously, eyes gleaming with amusement as Blake once again blushed. She heard Yang snicker, smug jerk.

"W-Well you don't care about that stuff! I prefer to keep quiet about my business!" Blake complained, smacking a hand on her forehead, completely exasperated. Yang chuckled softly and gently pulled the girl's hand from her face. Blake was glaring at Yang as the blonde began to drag her down the hallway, their fingers intertwined. What the faunus wanted was for Yang to stop making her feel so flustered.

Yang turned to look at her as they walked,"You shouldn't be self conscious about it, Kitten. I think it's almost as cute as you!" Yang gushed as she glanced at Blake's bow and beamed brilliantly at the girl. Blake looked at her dubiously. She tried, for the millionth time, to make her blush go away. A warm feeling filled her stomach as she looked down at her feet, annoyingly flattered by her annoyingly charming partner.

"Whatever." Blake grumbled but her grip on Yang's hand tightened ever so slightly.


"...That fucking sucked." Yang breathed as she collapsed on the floor, her arms and legs sprawled out, her eyes were closed and she was attempting to calm her breathing. Blake lay next to her, eyes opened wide, mouth agape as she tried to comprehend what just happened.

Goosebumps erupted on her arms and Blake shivered. She suddenly felt freezing but she knew it was the shock of previous events.

"Our bond...you...you weren't supposed to see any of that." Blake stammered, petrified at what Yang thought of her. Their bonding had allowed them to see both of some of each other's worst memories.

Yang's had been rather awful, most of them filled with self loathing. The brawler beat herself up all the time for not being a better sister to Ruby, and Blake thought that was absurd. Blake had witnessed Yang spend more than half her life constantly searching for her mother, experience the occasional faunus bully, and try to get her father back onto his feet after their mother died. She had done a lot of work to maintain money for the household until Taiyang had fully jumped back into society. Blake cast a glance at Yang, she had seen the blonde be abandoned countless times by "friends" and other people she loved, it was heartbreaking...she had cried every time.

Yang peeked an eye open,"You uh...so you saw me and Pyrrha." Her voice was quiet, lilac eyes dimmed, and her usual smirk was replaced with a frown. Blake grimaced before nodding slowly, amber eyes looking away from Yang.

"Yeah...I'm sorry." Blake empathized, sliding closer to Yang, she hesitated before laying her head in Yang's lap,"I'm cold." She mumbled in defense as Yang chuckled. Yang sat up, fingers finding themselves in Blake's hair, and she gently pulled her bow off. She rubbed Blake's ears causing her to sigh in contentment, her previous fears dissipating as quickly as they came.

"If you don't mind me asking, why do you still try with Pyrrha?" Blake asked quietly. Her ears twitched as Yang continued rubbing them softly. The warmth emanating from the girl was almost enough to make Blake purr.

Yang sighed before slowing her petting,"I...I believed I was in love with her. That's why. But it turns out, I'm not." Yang hummed, all the anguish in her voice vanished as quickly as it came. Blake shifted her head until she was staring up at the blonde.

Her curiosity peeked,"How'd you know you were no longer in love with her?"

Yang gave her a brilliant smile, eyes shining with mirth,"I know because I found the girl I'm actually in love with."

Blake froze at this, amber eyes searching for an answer in amethyst ones,"Who? Will you ever tell me?" She queried, heart thudding painfully in her chest for an unknown reason.

Yang's smile faltered but only for a split second,"I will, when I have the courage."

This elicited a small laugh from the faunus,"Yang, come on, it's only me." Blake murmured as Yang's fingers continued to run through her hair and play with her ears.

And then Yang looked at her. Really looked at her. The brawler looked at her in a way Blake had never been looked at before. It was unexplainable, perhaps it was the way Yang's eyes brightened, or how her smile broadened, it could have been how she instantly adjusted her posture, or it could be how Yang looked at her with such fondness that Blake's cheeks turned red. The look she was given sent butterflies to her stomach and made her toes curl.

"Yeah," Yang breathed,"only you." Fingers unlatched from her hair and ears and fell upon her cheeks. The warmth of her hands made Blake close her eyes momentarily, soaking it all in, soaking Yang in.

"Now," Yang continued, hands retreating back to their usual spot in Blake's hair,"are you going to continue dodging your memories? Or are we going to talk about them?" Blake stiffened, eyes snapping open, she bit her lip and she felt herself lock up. Yang continued her gentle petting, slender fingers twining with dark locks, the brawler smiled slightly in encouragement but remained quiet.

Blake looked away from her,"Depends, what have you seen?"

Yang shrugged, her gaze never wavered,"I saw your parents die," Blake flinched,"I saw...all the human deaths." Yang glanced away for a moment when she said that,"I saw a man...but I couldn't see his face and his voice was muffled. Was he that Adam Tarus guy you told me about-" Blake felt sick to her stomach, she didn't want to even think about Adam. She loathed him, he ruined everything. But that wasn't what bothered her, Yang had just seen all of her. Every corrupt action, every lie, every murder, everything. Yang should hate her.

"You don't have to change the subject, Yang, you saw the genocide." Blake whispered, eyes welling with tears. Yang's eyes widened as she quickly wiped away the drops that fleeted from amber eyes.

"No, Blakey, don't cry. I'd rather you yell at me than cry." Yang smiled wryly at her partner, pulling Blake up so she sat in her lap, and she wrapped her arms comfortingly around the faunus. Blake let out a choked cry as she slung her arms around Yang's shoulders and buried her face in her neck.

"I'm sorry." Blake breathed, trying to calm herself. She could still remember every face, every scream, every cry for mercy, every whimper, every hate filled glare directed her way. The familiar ache returned to her chest. The memories she had worked so hard to suppress were easily resurfacing. Her head was pounding painfully as she squeezed her eyes shut. Inhaling deeply she tried to collect herself, but the guilt was crushing her, she was a monster.

"Stop it." Yang growled fiercely, holding Blake even closer to her,"We're bonded...I know you're hurting, Blakey." Yang's voice lowered, pulling away slightly to look at the faunus,"But, you have to understand, you can't change the past." She whispered soothingly, giving her partner a soft smile,"All you can do is keep moving forward." Wiping her tears away, Yang planted a gentle kiss on the stunned girl's forehead.

"N-No!" Blake abruptly yelled, yanking herself away from Yang,"You should hate me! I-" She didn't get to finish before Yang lunged at her, coiling her arms around the girl tightly and pulling her towards her chest again. The heat from Yang's body intensified but only in a comforting way, a way that Yang knew would calm Blake down.

"We've all done things we're not proud of...you're not that person anymore. Whoever this Adam guy is...he's the real lunatic. You're not a monster...look at you." Yang breathed, pulling away from Blake ever so slightly,"Real monsters don't question their actions, they don't feel anything for the bad they've caused. The White Fang started out with a genuinely good motive and good methods. You had no way of knowing it'd turn out this way...no one in your position would have been quick to abandon a cause they believed in so much. Many would have stayed...it takes a strong person to leave the comfort of their own livelihood." Yang soothed, wiping the rest of Blake's tears away.

Blake looked up at the blonde with wide eyes, she could practically feel her anger, but she knew it wasn't directed at her. Yang was mad about Blake's self loathing...she was mad about her situation. Yang was mad about Adam, Blake's tears, Blake's fears, and the list could go on and on. She was mad at anything and everything but Blake.

How did Blake luck out with such a great partner?

Leaning forward Blake planted a kiss on Yang's cheek before burying her face in her neck again,"Thank you." She breathed, temporarily soothed by Yang's words. In all honesty she was just happy the blonde didn't hate her.

She didn't see Yang's blush but she could feel her heart speed up slightly,"Anytime Blakey."


It's not that easy, Weiss." Yang sighed, glaring at the pink sky as the sun began to rise. The two girls stood in the courtyard, it was five in the morning, two hours earlier than they needed to be awake.

Weiss's punctual nature caused her to want to get an early start in the mornings. Yang just naturally woke up early, she enjoyed her mornings, she wasn't much of a night owl but time with Adam had changed that. Due to their early mornings, the two often went to the courtyard to converse, not wanting to wake up their partners.

"Oh, but it is." Weiss snorted, rolling her eyes,"It's so obvious she likes you-"

"She likes Sun, she took him to the dance." Yang interrupted harshly, jamming her hands in the pockets of her grey sweats. Purple eyes hardened as they met icy blue ones. Weiss sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose in agitation.

"Of course you'd be this dense." Weiss huffed angrily,"Blake watched you during the entire dance." She pointed out, looking at Yang in disbelief of her obliviousness,"Remember when you blew up on everyone and stomped away at lunch? Pyrrha was going to go after her but Blake stopped her, saying she'd coddle you. Blake cares about you more than you realize. Why else would she let you sleep in her bed?" Weiss asked in exasperation, crossing her arms over her chest. Her glared had hardened, cold blue eyes clashed with warm lilac as the girls stared at each other.

"...that doesn't mean anything." Yang sighed,"Caring about me doesn't mean shit. I really like her, Weiss-"

"Then show her!" She interjected,"Stop hanging around Pyrrha and Neo so much and start paying her more attention. And then, go for it, you're a very blunt person. Now start acting like one." Weiss instructed haughtily, her glare intensified as Yang laughed lightly and shook her head.

"Pyrrha's my best friend and Neo-"

"Yang Xiao Long it is so obvious that you have some remaining feelings for Pyrrha." Weiss snapped,"You stupid brute. It's also clear Blake HATES it when Neo flirts with you. So there you go, more evidence she likes you. Now stop overthinking and go get your kitten!" Weiss raised a fist in the air,"Because the Xiao Long I know isn't afraid to ask out anyone of any gender, NOW GO!" She roared, inspiration slipped from her lips,"GET HER!"

Yang grinned, feeling more confident as she raised her fist in the air as well,"THAT BELLABOOTY IS MINE!" She cheered excitedly, making Weiss wrinkle her nose slightly. Without a second thought Yang swooped in and crushed Weiss in a hug before sprinting back off towards their dorm, leaving fire in her wake as her determination and excitement grew.

Weiss only watched as the girl tripped and fell to the ground,"I'm okay!" Yang yelped, clambering to her feet, and taking off in a fast sprint once again.

"What an idiot."


"I can't, Blake and I are hanging out tonight, kind of a partner thing. Sorry P." Yang smiled sheepishly as Pyrrha and Blake both looked at her in confusion. The redhead deflated slightly and Yang had to bite back a curse, she didn't want to make Pyrrha sad at all-oops and now she was angry.

"Whatever." Green eyes flashed with irritation as she locked her gaze with Yang,"Have fun." She muttered before stalking away, leaving a confused Blake and a slightly frightened Yang. The blonde didn't want to sever their friendship, but she needed to put in more effort with Blake. Not to mention she liked spending time with the bookworm.

"Are you avoiding her? That's the third time you've turned her down." Blake noted once the warrior was out of ear shot.

Yang turned to her with a frown,"Nah," A smirk adorned her lips,"I just like spending time with you, Blakey, is that such a crime?" She slung an arm around her shoulder and delighted in the blush that the faunus wore.

"Yang, what are you up to?" Blake asked, eyes narrowing in suspicion as Yang smiled sheepishly at her.

"Nothing, Kitten! Ruby and Weiss are doing some partner bonding tonight, so I figured, we could too." Yang said innocently, trying to get a read on Blake's emotions through their bond.

Blake shifted uncomfortably as she looked down at her shoes,"I dunno, Yang, I'm not really up for going out-"

"Then we'll stay in!" Yang interjected,"Whatever you want to do, we'll do it." She promised, a wide grin adorning her lips. Blake looked at her thoughtfully before shrugging.

"Well, apparently it's supposed to be a nice night tonight." Blake mused and Yang smirked before leaning against a locker cockily.

"Do tell, what are your plans for our evening? I was envisioning a nice picnic, maybe some wine, a little bit of action afterwards." She flirted shamelessly and Blake actually laughed at the girl's boldness.

"Hmm...sounds about as tempting as going to a party with Weiss."

Yang's jaw dropped and she looked at her incredulously,"Are you insinuating I can't show you a good time?"

Blake smirked,"No, I know you can't show me a good time. Well, at least without clubs or the promise of sex."

It was Yang's turn to smirk,"So you're saying that sex with me is a good time?" Blake's eyes widened in disbelief as she found the tables quickly turning,"How would you even know?" Yang leaned closer to her, gently placing a hand on her waist and putting her lips near her human ear,"Unless...you've had some naughty dreams about me..." She trailed off suggestively and to her utter delight she heard Blake swallow thickly and hold her breath.

Cheeks turned red,"I-I...I wasn't saying that!" She stammered as she tried to explain herself. Yang backed away, albeit reluctantly for she had loved the close proximity, and laughed loudly.

"You know I'm just playing with you! But I accept your challenge, tonight is going to be one of the best of your life!" A seductive smirk adorned Yang's lips,"And trust me, I don't have to bang you to leave you wanting more." She stepped away and sauntered off to her next class,"I'll catch you tonight Blake! Wear something casual." She could hear the pounding of Blake's heart from down the hall.


"Shit!" Yang yelped, pulling Blake closer to her and burying her face in her hair. Blake sat between Yang's open legs, she was leaning against the blonde's chest, and Yang had her arms wrapped around Blake's waist. The two were sitting on Yang's bed, watching a scary movie on her scroll.

They hadn't originally been in such an intimate position. And Blake wasn't sure how they had gotten into said position in the first place. And while being so close to Yang distracted her from the movie, she really did enjoy the warmth the girl radiated.

"You should have seen that coming, you'd think that you'd notice how the music changes already." Blake teased lightly, placing her arms atop Yang's. Yang huffed at this and pulled her face out of Blake's hair, resting her chin on the faunus's shoulder. Blake got goosebumps from her partner's proximity. Why did she drive her so crazy?

"Should I have noticed that you purr?" Yang hummed, making Blake jump and begin to pull away from her embrace. Embarrassment swept over her as Yang merely held Blake tighter to her,"Hey now, there's no reason to hide from me, I'm part faunus. Your cat traits don't surprise me. I think it's cute." A soft chuckle escaped Yang as one of her hands found Blake's hair.

Blake squeezed her eyes shut instinctively, expecting a sharp, unforgiving tug. That's all she had ever known, but she knew Yang would never do such a thing. That was the nice thing about the blonde, she encouraged Blake to embrace her heritage. She didn't feel as embarrassed about her cat traits, she didn't feel the need to look over her shoulder all time, she was more vocal about defending Velvet, she was comfortable enough to leave her bow off when she was in the dorm, and she was no longer bothered in the slightest by Yang petting her ears.

Blake soon found herself relaxing as gentle fingers rubbed her cat ears,"I know...it's just a little...embarrassing to me I guess." She sighed, leaning further into her partner's embrace, eyes closing.

Another laugh escaped Yang's lips,"Well, if it makes you feel better, when I get angry I start growling. Then people look at me like I'm crazy." Blake laughed at this.

"They're not wrong."

Yang pouted and rolled her eyes,"Hey now, some think my growling is extremely attractive." She protested and Blake hummed in amusement as Yang's blonde curtain of hair trailed over her shoulder. Absentmindedly Blake began playing with her friend's hair as she spoke.

"Oh? And who thinks your growl is attractive?" Suddenly a deep rumble erupted from Yang's throat causing Blake to jump in surprise. A low vibration resounded in Yang's chest. Blake felt goosebumps erupt on her skin at the overwhelming assertion of dominance that the growl conveyed. Her cheeks turned red when a raspy laugh sounded from behind her.

"Apparently, you think it's attractive." Yang murmured lowly and Blake scowled, cheeks still red at her friend's shenanigans.

"It just surprised me!" Blake snapped, crossing her arms over her chest in annoyance. Yang was so infuriating. The blonde merely chuckled again, Blake didn't even have to see her partner to know that was smirking.

"Yeah...and turned you on." Yang chuckled, lilac eyes glinting with mischief. Blake mumbled to herself angrily as she attempted to get out Yang's lap but the blonde wouldn't allow her to leave. Nuzzling her neck Yang let out a sigh,"I was kitting...Kitten." Yang hummed, Blake's face turned a bright red.

"That was terrible."

"Hmmm...I thought it was pretty good." Yang paused, blinking rapidly as though remembering what she was doing. She glanced at the time and grinned,"Alright, it's nine, time for part two of me showing you how awesome of a time I can give you!" Yang cheered, pulling the curious cat faunus to her feet.


A loud laugh escaped Yang as she pounced on Blake. The two rolled around the field, wrestling with one another, it wasn't long before Blake jumped out of Yang's grasp with a laugh of her own. The moon shown brightly over her head and the two girls were ecstatic.

Blake's ears were out of her bow, her adrenaline was pumping as she looked around with utter mirth, there was no other time she felt so free than in the cloak of darkness with only the moon as her light. Yang's fangs were on full display, her claws unsheathed as she stood to her feet and launched herself into a nearby tree.

Blake had to admit, Yang was showing her a good time. She had expected...well she expected at least a club involved or something to do with dancing. But Yang had kept it simple, she knew Blake liked simple, and Blake Belladonna was utterly impressed.

"Hey Blakey! Betcha can't catch me!" Yang challenged as she looked down at Blake with a predatory smirk. The two cats were soon chasing one another, laughing and jumping from branch to branch, Blake was uncharacteristically happy. Having a companion who shared her faunus traits, and being able to freely exhibit them without being judged, was one of the best things that had happened to her.

Blake lunged and caught Yang around her waist in midair. The two spiraled to the ground, giggling loudly as Blake landed on Yang, both falling into a bush. Their noses were touching, however this didn't stop their rambunctious laughing, Blake's head rested against Yang's collarbone as she shook with more laughter. Yang let out a puff as her glee subsided, and quickly threw Blake out of the bush. She yelled in surprise as she landed on the ground and Yang tackled Blake so she was on top, a wicked smirk played on her lips.

"You may be faster, Kitten, but I'm stronger!" Yang declared, pinning both Blake's arms above her head with one hand.

Blake smirked,"Who said I needed strength to get out of your hold?"

A snort followed,"How else are you gonna get free?" Blake's smirk broadened at the challenge. The night had always made Blake feel more lively(Ha! Blake Lively!), and also more mischievous. She never had to hide who she was and she absolutely loved the rush of running wild in the forest, doing whatever she pleased. Yang had picked a rather great activity for the two of them, she admitted silently before finally focusing on Yang again.

The night made her bold. Leaning up Blake captured Yang's lips with her own, effectively stunning the blonde. Yang's grip loosened as she remained stunned by the girl's sudden kiss, not sure whether to kiss back or pull away. Before Yang could decide Blake had freed herself from the ever weakening grasp and rolled them back over, pinning Yang.

The blonde was breathing heavily and looking at Blake in disbelief,"T-That was cheating!" She puffed, wetting her lips and squeezing her eyes shut.

Blake laughed,"How was I supposed to know you'd be so effected? I was just trying to find a way to escape!" She feigned innocence, loving the way Yang processed the kiss. Closing her eyes and biting her lip so as if to control herself.

Shaking her head wildly, Yang growled at her playfully,"Huh, should have figured you'd be so catty."

Blake narrowed her eyes,"Oh shut up."

Yang smirked,"A cat didn't get your tongue but it surely got mine!" Blake blushed at this before tightening her grip on Yang's wrists.

"Yang-"

"What? These puns are the cats meOW! Shit, did you just bite me!" Yang asked in disbelief as she grimaced at the stinging sensation in her shoulder. Blake merely glared at her in response, clearly wanting her to end the cat puns.

Yang only smirked, revealing her fangs that were far larger than Blake's,"I can bite back, Kitten." Blake's eyes widened, she rarely got to see Yang's fangs. She had always been so intrigued by them that she couldn't help but reach out and touch one. Yang looked at her curiously but kept her fangs exposed, watching as Blake prodded her canines in fascination.

Amber eyes inspected them carefully, before she realized what she was doing. Jumping off Yang she yelped and watched her with wide eyes, her face aflame with embarrassment.

Yang chuckled as she scooted closer to her partner,"You kissed me but what made you shy was that you were playing with my fangs? C'mon kitty cat! Loosen up a little!" Yang all but purred, reaching up and gently stroking Blake's cat ear. Blake stiffened momentarily at the feeling of Yang unsheathing her claws, yet the girl remained gentle, and if anything the claws only better served in scratching her ears.

Her spine was tingling and she sagged against Yang,"Fuck." She mumbled, nearly purring at how good her ears felt.

"Ooh, watch that potty mouth of yours Belladonna!" Yang warned teasingly before retracting her hand. Blake sighed disappointedly as she sat up, face red from turning to jello when Yang began scratching her ears.

Before Blake could respond, Yang's scroll went off, the blonde frowned before checking it. Gingersnap. Blake's eyes narrowed as Yang scrambled to her feet, apologizing profusely and saying she had to take this call. Who was Gingersnap?


"Huh...it doesn't look like you're studying." The voice was cold and Yang winced.

"Hey, I'm sorry! I just didn't think you'd let me skip tonight if I told you I had partner bonding!" She confessed sheepishly, glancing at Blake as she did so,"Where are you?" She asked, looking around the clearing for her brother. But even her night vision couldn't pick her redheaded companion up amongst the dense forest trees.

"Doesn't matter, what does matter is that you lied to me."

"...I mean, I did study tonight-"

"Yang." He sighed, sounding disappointed now, it was like talking to Taiyang.

She grimaced, feeling bad for not telling the truth,"I'm sorry, Gingersnap. I just promised to hangout with Blake and-"

"Be wary of your partner, Yang." He said cryptically, slight anger coated his words.

Yang frowned as she glanced at her partner,"Why?"

"...She's got a bad habit of running away." Yang's heart stopped for a moment, remembering when Blake left her for two weeks due to fear of attachment. How did Adam know about Blake? Before she could ask he continued,"Tomorrow night, you and me, sword training. Don't be late." He said gruffly, clearly still mad about Yang's lie.

She winced,"Love you?"

There was another heavy sigh,"Whatever, idiot." Yang smiled at little at this.

"Bitch."

"Bigger bitch."

Yang laughed at this,"I learned it from you."

"Hmph...shut up. Now finish up your partner bonding so you can get some rest. Love you."

"Love you too!" Yang said merrily, beaming brightly as she turned back to Blake. Yang's smile drooped slightly at the sight of Blake, that smile was gone and replaced with a slight look of hurt. Yang paused and could feel the inner turmoil of Blake's emotions, from annoyed to sad to jealous, but why did she feel that way?

"Are you ever going to tell me where you go at night? Who you're with? What you do?" Blake asked scathingly, eyes narrowing slightly as she stood to her feet. Yang's eyes widened momentarily before she realized that Blake's faunus traits were dominating her at the moment. When faunus were in their animal side's environment then they tended to act more like the personality type of their animal. That's why Blake was lashing out at her, cats were extremely territorial, and Blake's cat side had decided that Yang was hers.

Lions could be the same as cats in the possessive sense, but they were more prideful and family oriented due to living in prides. When Yang's lion side came out it made her more protective, brash, egotistical, and demanding. But it also made her more nurturing to those she cared about.

Yang turned her attention back to Blake before gently placing a hand on her shoulder,"Blakey-"

Slapping her hand away, Blake gripped her by the front of her shirt, ears flicking in irritation (Or earritation as Yang would say),"Don't, Blakey, me. You're my partner! And every time you come back to the dorm from your night out, you're covered in wounds and you have someone's scent all over you. I hate that." Blake hissed, eyes darkening slightly as she watched Yang closely,"I don't like seeing you hurt and I don't like that someone else's stench is covering yours, so tell me, where are you going?"

Fun fact, when anyone talked to Yang in this manner, she couldn't help but let out some of the lion in her. It caused many complications later, but Yang was dominant and Blake needed to know that. She wouldn't be run around by some house cat. Yang bit her lip as her pride and egotistical nature overwhelmed her.

"And why does it matter where I go? Last I checked, you're not the boss of me." She growled, looming over her partner, glowering at her so as to get her to submit.

Blake didn't back down but instead bared her teeth,"I don't like sharing." Yang was almost surprised at her words, but her lion had already taken the reigns of her emotions.

Yang exposed her fangs and growled as a claw hand loosely grasped the back of Blake's neck,"Let's get one thing straight, cat." Yang sneered, her eyes turning a dark crimson as she glanced at Blake's ears,"I will go where I please, I'm not hurting anyone, and you can't control me."

Blake hissed at this and met Yang's glare with her own,"You're hurting yourself...you're hurting me!" She finally snarled, shoving Yang away from her roughly. Yang stumbled back in surprise before another growl escaped her.

"I'm just seeing an old friend of mine, why does that bother you?"

"Would you like it if I came back to the dorm, smelling of someone else nearly every night?" Blake challenged and Yang growled again at the thought before taking a step towards her.

"That's impossible." Yang grunted, once again placing her hand on the back of the faunus's neck.

"Oh?"

Yang nodded before bearing her teeth once again,"You're mine." A thick silence followed the brawler's statement. Both girls seemed to break out of their more animalistic state. Realizing how close Blake was to her made Yang's eyes dilate, however, the spell had been broken. Amber eyes hardened slightly as an annoyed look rested upon her usually stoic face.

Surprisingly, Blake didn't move from Yang's light grip on the back of her neck,"Possessive, aren't you."

The blonde snorted,"You're one to talk." Reluctantly she stepped away from her partner, sheathing her claws, and letting out a shaky breath as she tried to clamp down on her hormones. She just wanted to grab Blake and kiss her, her lion side demanded it, but her human side was back in control and forbidding her from being so brash.

Blake timidly reached out to touch the blonde's arm only for Yang to take a step away,"Give me a sec, Blake," Yang growled, squeezing her eyes shut so she could control herself,"I need to just...calm down."

"Did I make you mad?"

Yang's eyes remained closed and she shook her head,"Course not I...I just don't want to do something stupid."

"What if I want you to do something stupid?" Blake challenged, making Yang stiffen. Crimson colored eyes fluttered open and Blake shivered at the intensity of her stare. The blonde's hands balled into fists; she released a shuttered breath before her eyes converted back to their normal purple color.

The corners of her lips quirked upwards as the tension melted from her shoulders,"Oh, I get it! You're just fucking with me." Yang chuckled,"I mean, not in the way I'd prefer, but you just wanted to rial me up." Yang jammed her hands into her pockets as she looked away from her partner,"We both know you have a thing for Sun anyway so..." She trailed off, casting a quick glance at Blake. The faunus felt her eye twitch, was Yang really that dense? She didn't notice Yang's slight smirk as she rolled her eyes in disbelief.

"You really think I like Sun?"

"You tell me."

"I'm not all that into monkeys."

"Then what are you into?"

The smallest of smirks adorned Blake's lips,"Lions."
