Vacation Time Part 4: Yang's Game Plan and Blake's Confession
"Here we are, Miss Ruby and Miss Blake. I believe Reira said they would be in here." Roy informed and pointed towards a large bar, which was strangely empty inside while the other stores and pubs around it were populated by at least a few of the tourists and islanders.
Both Blake and Ruby furrowed their brows in confusion staring at the place in front of them.
This is so weird. First those two leave us in a hurry this morning to "appointments," then they won't answer our questions besides that they're okay, and now they lead us here, at a bar? An empty one at that… Blake thought while she observed the place.
"A bar? But why would Yang and Weiss go to a bar? Unless Yang got Weiss to do another bet with her… and Weiss ended up losing again…" Ruby said and shuddered if it was true. Weiss losing to any bet always lead to a frustrated and pouty Weiss—not as though that was a bad thing, it was just hard to get her wife to bounce back right away sometimes.
Blake sighed. "Well, whatever the case may be, we should go inside and find out for ourselves."
Ruby nodded and followed Blake towards the bar, and Roy followed closely behind her for safety measures.
Once they reached the entrance of the pub, a man appeared to greet them.
"Excuse me ladies, but are you two Miss Ruby Schnee-Rose and Blake Belladonna?" He asked kindly.
"Uh, yeah… we are." Ruby hesitantly answered. Blake stared at the man suspiciously with narrowed eyes, while Roy stood closely beside them protectively even though he knew this was a part of Yang's plan.
The man grinned widely. "That's great! You ladies made it just in time for the big performance! My name is Jack Whiskey and I'm the head bartender of this place. Please do come in, your wives had the whole place reserved just for the two of you tonight. Let me escort you to your seats."
This revelation surprised the Ladybug duo. After sharing a confused glance with one another, the girls and Roy followed the man inside.
The inside of the bar certainly looked romantic rather than most of the bars Ruby and Blake have been to with Yang; the whole place was carefully illuminated by several dim lights against walls and around the long bar on the side, which left a large center stage to be the only area brightly lit. The stage looked like it was mainly used for karaoke, there were mic stands and speakers on it with a large television in the back.
As they followed behind Jack, Ruby leaned into Blake and whispered, "Sooo they wanted us to come here and see a show or something?"
Blake simply shrugged. "Not too sure. They did seem like they were in a hurry this morning, so they must have been planning something for us today. Judging from what Jack said, they want us to see a performance. What it is though? Well, it could be anything knowing those two."
Ruby hummed in response. That's probably true…. I wonder what they were up to…
"Here we are ladies! Please enjoy the performance. I'm sure you'll both like it."
Jack brought the girls to a nice booth that was facing the stage and had two candles lit on the center table along with one strawberry lemonade (most likely courtesy of Weiss) and one ice tea with a slice of lemon (most likely courtesy of Yang). Despite the booth's clearly well-thought romantic set-up, both Blake and Ruby couldn't help but feel surprised and a bit disappointed their wives weren't sitting there to greet them.
"But, wait! Where are our wives? Aren't they supposed to be here to watch whatever this performance is with us?" Ruby frantically asked Jack before he could leave.
Jack merely grinned and said, "Don't worry miss, you'll see them soon." And with that he left them.
Ruby huffed out an annoyed sigh and scowled very much like how Weiss would whenever she felt aggravated. She sat down with the others at their booth and started drinking her delicious strawberry lemonade almost begrudgingly.
Blake placed her hand on the young leader's shoulder. "Hey, it's okay Ruby. They did message us that they'll see us soon, so I'm sure they'll be here any moment now."
Ruby pouted, jotting out her lower lip. "I just… I just want to know where they are already and if they're okaaay…w-whoa!" Her jaw slackened and her eyes went wide as she stared up at the stage that was previously empty in awe.
"Huh?" Blake raised her brows in surprised at Ruby's change in expression and turned towards the stage to see what her reaction was all about. Her breath instantly hitched, her ears perked, and she felt her heart skip a beat once she recognized the two drop dead gorgeous individuals who made their way on stage.
Weiss and Yang slowly approached the stage, and once the lights touched and lit up their features they were each revealed to be wearing dresses that neither Blake or Ruby recognized. Weiss had a on a beautiful red dress that hugged her waist and stopped right above her knees; It had white straps and was printed with lovely white lilies. Yang's dress was much similar except her dress was lilac and was printed with golden lilies instead. Both women had their hair down (which drove Ruby crazy because Weiss rarely lets her hair down) and each had a beautiful lily tucked in their right ear perfectly complimenting their respective attires. In short: they both looked absolutely stunning.
"Oh my god…" Blake and Ruby breathed out then gulped in unison, both still trying to drink in every detail of their respective wife. It had been an entire half a day without seeing, holding, or even hearing them. They were deprived, and seeing their wives right now felt like the perfect sustenance… or just the biggest tease ever because neither of them could touch their lover at the moment.
Ruby wanted to change that and started getting out of the booth to rush up to her wife, that is until Weiss raised her hand to signal her to stop. Ruby instantly paused as Weiss gave her a look she's seen many times before and understood immediately; Weiss was telling her to wait and trust her. So, Ruby reluctantly sat back down and waited to see what her partner had in store. Meanwhile, Blake gave her partner a questioning look after snapping herself out of the trance from Yang's presence. Yang merely flashed her a bright smile and a thumbs-up; her own unique way of telling Blake to trust her.
Right next to the two previously awestruck women, Roy happily smiled as he (stealthily as he could) filmed their initial reactions, and their reactions to what was to come next.
Satisfied her sister and wife would patiently sit and watch, Yang turned to Weiss. "Alright! It's working! You ready to do this, Weissy~?" She whispered excitedly.
Weiss gave her sister-in-law a playful smirk with an excited sparkle in her eyes and said, "I'm ready whenever you are, Blondie~!"
Yang just chuckled in return. She loved seeing Weiss loosen up and have some fun for a change, it was a welcoming contrast to her usual workaholic nature and constant worrying over Ruby and the pregnancy. She signaled Reira to come join them on the stage; the young bodyguard was also wearing a similar dress, but in a golden shade instead and she carried a guitar with her as she sat on a stool just behind the Freezerburn duo.
Oh, that's right. Ruby thought. Reira loves to play the guitar and sing to her brothers sometimes. Weiss and I should really invest to have her go to a good music school one of these days.
Once Reira was all set-up, she gave Yang a smile and a thumbs-up. The blonde grinned and nodded then she took one of the mics and began speaking.
"Good evening lovely ladies~! I'm sure both of you are wondering what's going on and what exactly are we here for, am I right?"
"Just tell us, Yang!" Ruby yelled in a mixture of both excitement and exasperation. Blake made sure to pat the young leader in attempt to calm her.
The blonde giggled. "Okay, okay Rubes, I got it. At least I know you're both eager to find out. Well, Weiss and I have been planning this little surprise for a while-"
"A short while." Weiss cut-in.
Though she was excited, she was still a bit miffed about the last-minute plans. Weiss didn't do last-minute, but then again this was for her wife and Blake after all, so it was well-worth it.
"Heh~ right, a short while because we both wanted to show you two how much we love you. So, Weiss and I decided we'll serenade you two a song~!"
Blake blinked in surprise while Ruby lightly gasped and grinned widely. Both of them had suffered through many of their partners' spontaneous duets together (it sometimes happened during their valuable reading sessions together), even as far back during their time at Beacon. This was the first time their wives actually planned to sing a duet and also serenade them. It was exciting, and they both couldn't wait for the performance.
Weiss nodded towards Yang, who gave her a thumbs-up then signaled Reira that they were ready. Reira began strumming her guitar strings softly to a melody that neither Blake nor Ruby were familiar with, but whatever it was sounded beautiful. It was slow and enchanting, Ruby couldn't help but sway slightly to the beat. As for Blake, she simply hummed happily to the pleasing tune gently vibrating against her sensitive ears.
You're the one that never lets me sleep
To my mind, down to my soul you touch my lips
Ruby released a gasp, her eyes captivated by Weiss's figure as she started singing. Her wife had always been a beautiful singer, everyone in Remnant knew that, and Weiss always liked to prove she could sing any type of genre; but if Ruby had to choose one that suited her partner best, it was definitely soft acoustic music like this. It just really brought out the best version of Weiss she knew: the Weiss who was full of pure love, desire, and joy. So, watching her wife sing so heartfelt right now, she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the emotions for how much she loved her.
"Wow…" She breathed out.
You're the one that I can't wait to see
With you here by my side I'm in ecstasy
Beautiful. That was the first thing Blake thought once she heard Yang sing. Her voice was just so gorgeous. Sure, Weiss was well-trained to be a flawless singer, and her voice was nothing less than that, but Blake had always loved how her wife sang. There was a sort of warmth to her voice that felt so reassuring to Blake, that she'd always be safe, protected, and loved no matter what. It was just beautiful, much like how everything Yang was.
I am all alone without you
My days are dark without a glimpse of you
But now that you came into my life
I feel complete
The flowers bloom, my morning shines
And I can see
Your love is like the sun
That lights up my whole world
I feel the warmth inside
Your love is like the river
That flows down through my veins
I feel the chill inside
Both Yang and Weiss made sure they kept their eyes locked with their respective wife's during the chorus while also remembering how they practiced to blend their voices together. They were happy to see the delighted and emotional expressions Blake and Ruby were making. Just with those expressions alone, they knew all their hard effort for this was definitely worth it and they couldn't help but share brief smile with each other before the next verse because of that.
Every time I hear our music play
Reminds me of the things that we've been through
In my mind I can't believe it's true
But in my heart the reality is you
I am all alone without you
My days are dark without a glimpse of you
But now that you came into my life
I feel complete
The flowers bloom, my morning shines
And I can see
Blake could hear heart thump faster as Yang gave her wink. Dust, she was so beautiful. How Blake managed tame such a wild and stunning soul was beyond her. Soon she couldn't take the emotions anymore and just let herself release a few happy tears. She felt so overjoyed, so enamored by Yang's presence and performance, it was intoxicating and she loved every bit of it.
Your love is like the sun
That lights up my whole world
I feel the warmth inside
Your love is like the river
That flows down through my veins
I feel the chill inside
Ruby didn't know when it happened, but somehow in the middle of the performance she had started crying too. She could feel the tiny rivulets flowing down her cheeks as she watched her beloved sister and wife sing so beautifully. And what only made her cry even more was the fact that every time she heard Weiss's voice, Little Rose would flutter in her belly like a swarm of butterflies. She really couldn't help it. She just felt so happy and so loved. As did her baby and it was wonderful.
Ruby felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned to see Roy holding out his handkerchief. With a smile, she took it gratefully and dabbed her damp cheeks till they were dry. Her attention immediately flew back onto the stage once she heard Weiss again.
Your love
Your love
Your love
Your love
Your love
Your love
Your love is like the sun
That lights up my whole world
I feel the warmth inside
Your love is like the river
That flows down through my veins
I feel the chill inside
And as the Reira strummed the last note of the song that was when both Ruby and Blake stood up with tears still in their eyes and started clapping, giving the standing-ovation their wives deserved.
Yang and Weiss shared a bright grin then Weiss curtsied. When she didn't see Yang do the same, she nudged her. The blonde gave a sheepish smile and attempted an awkward, yet passable curtsy.
Weiss rolled her eyes, but still held her hand up for a high-five towards her sister-in-law. They did do a wonderful job after all, probably the best performance they had done all day, so a high-five was definitely well-deserved. Yang eagerly obliged, slapping her flesh hand against Weiss's in pure glee.
The two of them had done it, but now came the tricky part: getting Blake to actually confess.
Just behind the two performers the twins exchanged each other with compliments for their success on their individual missions for the day, and also did a high-five. The plan for the small concert worked out perfectly. Now they just hoped the night would end like how Yang planned.
Immediately, Ruby ran up to both of the singers and pulled them both into a strong embrace. "That was amazing! Beautiful! Awesome! And, and so cool! Wow!"
Wiping some of her tears, Blake approached the two much more calmly then her young leader, but she was still just as ecstatic. "Yeah, wow you two. That was truly amazing!"
Ruby lifted her face up as she released the two from her vice grip, and if it was even possible she cried even more tears of joy. "Gosh! I loved it! And Blake definitely loved it too! You guys were so good! And… and-" She just continued sputtering. She was having a real hard time controlling her emotions at the moment. It didn't help either that her baby was still fluttering about in her tummy, further adding sparks to her already overwhelmed emotions.
Weiss instantly panicked.
"Gah! D-don't cry!" She pulled out a napkin and frantically wiped Ruby's tears. Happy tears or not, Weiss didn't like seeing them on her wife's face. "Hush, Ruby. We didn't mean to get you all worked up."
Yang just chuckled and kissed her baby sister's temple. "Yeah, easy on the water works Rubes, you might give Weiss a heart attack."
That was when Blake pulled her wife into an embrace, her golden eyes sparkled with joy as she looked up at Yang then at Weiss. "Well, you can't exactly blame her. I know I was well-overwhelmed by your amazing performance together, so with Ruby pregnant, she probably reacted ten times stronger than I did."
"Y-yeah, sorry I'm just really emotional guys. I'll be okay, just give me a sec."
Wiping away the last remnants of her tears, Ruby smiled up at Weiss. "As for you, princess~! I think those concert lips deserve a few kisses for such an outstanding performance~."
Before Weiss could even say anything, Ruby gave her a flurry kisses, which made the older woman squeak in surprise.
"Hmm I like the direction where Ruby's going." Blake smoothly took Yang's chin and turned her gaze so they would lock gazes. "What do you say we follow along too?"
"Wait, wha-mmmph!"
Yang instantly melted and hummed in content. Once the two of them broke apart, Blake grinned at the stupidly happy expression on Yang's face.
"It really was beautiful, you know. The performance, I mean. Thank you, sunshine." Blake whispered so only Yang could hear.
The blonde's face softened at that and she used her hand to tuck a few dark strands of Blake's hair behind her ear.
"You know, Blake about the lyrics to the song we just sang with the line 'your love is like the sun' I do mean it in that way. I know you always call me sunshine and say that I'm the light of your life, but Blake you're like that for me too.
"Remember back when we got separated after the Fall of Beacon? It was rough for a lot of reasons, but mostly because you weren't with me. I missed you a lot, so much that I never felt more empty in my life. I was so depressed, my semblance which everyone said burns brighter than the sun itself, felt like it was just burned out. But once we reunited, worked everything out between us, and fell in love that was when I realized than only when I'm with you Blake, can I truly burn brighter than anything. You brought back the light in me. You and your love really are my sun."
Cheesy as it was, Yang didn't care. It was the truth and besides, Blake loved cheesy like all her favorite romance novels after all.
Blake felt indescribably moved by the words. Yang just loved her so much and looking into those lavender eyes, she remembered there was something very important she had to tell her wife. After all the frustrations, the close-calls, and constant disappointing results Blake was more than prepared to finally tell Yang her final decision. Ruby was right, it didn't matter how she told Yang, all that mattered was they were both ready to take this step in their lives. Her wife deserved it.
"Yang, honey there's something important I want to tell you." She said with every ounce of determination she had.
Yang formed a small hopeful smile. This has got to be it! C'mon Blakey you can do it.
"Oh, sure Blake. What is it? You can tell me anything."
Blake then looked around, Ruby was still giving a flustered Weiss some kisses and compliments while the twins just giggled at their masters. Yeah sure, she can tell Yang this now, but she could at least do it in private and not in a bar.
"Why won't we go outside? The subject is a little private."
After her wife gave a nod of agreement, Blake took her by the hand and informed the others they would just be outside. Once they exited the bar, they found a nice spot just by the edge of the beach that wasn't too far from the bar. It had a great view of open night sky peppered with billions of stars. Blake figured if she had to do this now, at least they had a nice setting for it and the air was warm and pleasing, so that was a bonus.
"So, what did you have in mind, Blake?"
The Faunus realized her mind must've wandered a bit. Clearing her throat, she spoke, "Yang, do you remember that night when you told me you wanted to have kids?" She could feel her ears twitching a bit from her nervousness. This was it after all, she was finally going to say it.
Yang wasted no time to place her flesh hand against her wife's cheek. "Hey, Blake it's okay. Just relax." She said soothingly. "What about it, hun?"
After taking a few deep breathes, Blake looked up at Yang with the happiest smile. "Yang, I'm ready. Let's have a family together."
Wow, actually hearing the final decision from her wife definitely made her happier than when she found out for herself. Yang could already feel her tears welling up as she sniffled and gasped, trying to keep her emotions in check.
"Blake, yo-you're ready? Are you sure?"
Of course, she still had to ask. Blake thought and rolled eyes.
"Yes Yang! I'm more than sure. I'm ready to have a family with you, I swear it."
Yang didn't know why, but the first thing she did was laugh. And she laughed loud and happily. She wrapped her arms around Blake and lifted and spun her around.
"Yes! We're gonna have our own family! Oh, Blake! I'm so so happy! This is the best news ever!"
Both of them were broken out of their little moment when they heard cheering behind them. They turned to see Weiss, Ruby, and the two bodyguards happily shouting congratulations with a mix of squeals and clapping.
The Bumblebee duo grin back at them and Yang gave them a thumbs-up while Blake just snuggled to her side.
"So, Blake does this mean we can buy some of those cute maternal shirts now? And maybe some baby clothes too~?"
Blake giggled. "Why won't we try getting pregnant first, sunshine?"
Smile blooming even wider, Yang squeezed Blake's hand.
"Yeah, that sounds like a great plan."
Author's note: So… did you guys feel the burn~? Eh! Eh! Yeah? Great! If any of you thought I'd wouldn't have even some freezerburn in this fic, you're dead wrong for they are my BROTP alongside Ladybug and Nuts and Dolts. You're welcome~! But uh, yeah sorry if this whole chapter was super cheesy. This entire chapter has been one of my biggest dreams to happen in this story for a long time, so I guess all the mushy gushiness accumulated here. Hope it wasn't too much.
Anyways, you guys will see what I've been making the bumbleby couple plan for white rose very soon, so stay tuned for that~! I actually wonder if any of you can guess what it is…
Finally, as always please let me know your thoughts on the chapter, and if you really liked it please fave and follow! Thank you!
Till next time~!
