Okay, so I actually didn't plan on uploading this chapter late at night, but I did. If there are any errors, please tell me. I'm not a pushover and I can take some criticism from you guys... okay I'm a bit of a pushover, but that doesn't matter. I hope you guys enjoy and I'll see ya at the bottom.

After blowing Yang's ear drums and having to explain to Ruby why I had screamed bloody murder. Yang took a shower and Ruby took me downstairs so another embarrassing incident doesn't happen again.

"It's okay, Weiss." Ruby says stopping the timer on the oven. "If it makes you feel better. It happened to Blake a lot when we went to high school. She got used to it soon enough. I'm sure you'll get used to it too!"

I watch as Ruby pulls out a batch of cookies from the oven and sets them aside. She takes off her colorful oven mitts to come sit by me. She seems so happy all the time like she's still a kid.

"I know it's hard not to freak out when there is a beautiful, busty, muscular, strong young woman around." It sounds like she's speaking from past experience. "But it's worse when that person won't return the same feelings as you have for them."

The thing that comes to my mind is that Ruby is gay. The second thing is who did she fall in love with? Was she in love with someone who was already in love with another person?

Now that Ruby has sent my mind in an endless spiral of questions, I start to look at her in a different light. She's not as fragile and child-like anymore. Ruby fell in love with someone at a young age and got burned in the process. Heck, she's had more experience than me.

"... what happened?" I let the question fall out of my mouth.

She sighs a heavy sigh. "For some reason, I knew you would ask that." I didn't know whether to feel bad or should be concerned. "I took too long to ask her out, but she already fell in love someone else… I'm happy for her and we're still friends, but sometimes I wish she would smile the same way back before I confronted her."

A mulling silence falls over the two of us. It feels wrong to keep pushing Ruby, but I want to know more. I hope it helps Ruby to talk about it or maybe I'm pushing for some sort of clue to help me figure out who she loved and may still love.

Ruby slides her hand over mine. "Don't wait to confess your feelings about Yang, Weiss." She smiles. "I know, with the way you look, act, and pretty much swoon over my sister, that your in love and more."

Swoon? I don't swoon over Yang… do I?

Ruby must be reading my mind because she tells me I do it every time I get close to Yang.

Ruby leans back in her chair taking her off of mine. "So, Weiss? What caught your eye that made you fall in love with my sister?"

I sputter. "Ruby… you… you can't ask that question!"

"Why not?" She asks. "Is there some rule saying I can't ask that question? Besides, you asked about my love life. I'm just returning the favor."

"..."

I don't know how to answer her question. Yang is a nice and caring girl and all, but I don't know what made my emotions go haywire. Was it just a one hit wonder when I looked at Yang when she came rescue me from Cardin? Was I already into girls but the feeling just remained dormant until I found the one? Like a soulmate or something?

"So?"

"... you guess is as good as mine," I admit. "I guess there's something about her that I love."

Ruby smirks mischievously and opens her mouth, but I quickly cut her off. "If you're going say her… figure… then… then… then I'll make you pay!"

"What about my figure and making Rubes pay?" Yang jumps in from behind.

"Yang!" I squeak turning to her.

"Hey there, beautiful!" She giggles.

Yang's wearing baggy sweatpants and an oversized t-shirt that might be showing a little to much shoulder.

My face flushes. "He...hey…"

Yang pulls out a chair and plops down. "So what were you two talking."

"Nothing!" I reply too quickly. The sisters look at me with bemusement. "We talked about… nothing."

Yang shrugs it off with an 'alright' and gets for a few shorts minutes only to come with a plate of chocolate chip cookies and milk.

She sets the plate of sugary sweets in the middle, milk not too far from the plate, and hands Ruby and I a cup each. Yang pours milk for us to enjoy with the sweetly baked cookies.

I took my time, breaking and eating the cookie. It's gooey warm taste put a contempt smile on my face. Yang and Ruby though, dipped their cookies in the milk, swirling it around before pulling them out and taking a huge bite out of theirs.

Yang hummed in delight, swallowing before speaking. "Man! I don't think I'll ever get over how good your homemade cookies taste, Ruby! It's like they get better and better every time I eat them!"

"That's because I put something special in it every time I make it."

"Love." Yang teases.

"No, poison." Ruby deadpans.

Yang snickers and pops another milk soaked cookie in her mouth. I take a gulp of milk to wash the rest of the sugar down my throat before grabbing another one of Ruby's splendid cookies.

"So, Weiss? What brings you here?" Yang asks. "I mean besides the fact that you can't stay away from your totally hot girlfriend." She snickers.

Ruby eyes her eyes and waves Yang's comment off for me. "Don't listen to her, Weiss. I'm sure there is a better reason why you came here."

"Yeah, all you asked me is where I lived then you said you were coming to visit out of the blue," Yang adds.

Again, I don't like lying, but I don't want to have Yang and Ruby panic over me when I'm their guess. I also don't want it to sound like I'm using them for cover. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. 'I might tell them something else, so Ruby doesn't freak out that I'm being threatened by… Cardin? I'm still not entirely sure that Cardin is the one threatening me.'

"Weiss?" Yang's worried voice catches in my ears. I seem to have panicked her with my silence. "Are you okay?"

It warms my heart to know that she's concerned for me. "Yes, I am okay, Yang. And to answer your question from before. I came here because… Dice had… He had meetings which disrupted his plans for this week. Seeing that I had nothing else to do for the rest of the break, I might as well come see my totally hot girlfriend."

This time Yang rolls her eyes and Ruby snickers. They've bought the lie, but that doesn't make me feel any better about lying to them.

Yang collected the empty glasses of milk and what is felt of the cookies. Ruby grabs the milk jug and helps Yang clean up while I awkwardly sit there and watch them. I feel no of place knowing that back at the manor, maids and butlers would clean after our family would be finished eating. They would straighten up our rooms or tidy up the bathrooms, vacuum, dust, straighten anything that would be out of place. Unlike Yang and Ruby, I didn't grow up cleaning up after myself and it made me feel bad knowing that I'm starting to remember some of the outrageous messes I've made at a younger age.

We moved from the kitchen to the living room to watch some brainless t.v. and enjoy each others company until Ruby said she was meeting up with some friends to go to a nearby comic book shop. It doesn't take long for Yang and me to be alone.

'Would now be the best time to tell Yang the truth knowing that no one else is home? What if Yang's parents come back any minute? Or Ruby barges in saying she forgot something?' I'm panicked and ask Yang to come upstairs with me. In fact, she's more worried than curious as to why I am taking her upstairs.

She asks several questions like 'are you having a flashback? Does something hurt? Are you on your period?' And so on. I say no to every question she throws at me until we are upstairs. Secluded and alone. Away from any trouble that could have happened.

Yang shuts the door behind her and I put a little distance between the two us. I'm wary of how Yang will react to finding out that I've lied to her and telling her that someone has been threatening me.

Yang tries to close the gap but I tell her to stop right where she is.

Yang is perplexed because of my demand. "Weiss? What's going on? You've kind of been on edge since we got here and I'm worried about you."

I mull over her questions and my own thoughts. 'Do I really want to tell her? What if… what if it affects her too?! Gods, I wouldn't able to live with myself.' I'm running out of time to think of a way out of the hole I've dug for myself, but there's no turning back now.

"Yang… I… I lied." I feel pathetic when hearing my voice quiver and shake. "Not… not entirely. The reason why I didn't tell you in the first place is that Ruby was there I didn't want her to know."

Yang contemplates my words, but she keeps her thoughts herself. I swallow hard and push on when she doesn't speak. "... someone… has been threatening me… since our date."

The sound of a tightening fist sends a shiver down my spine. Yang's face darkens in anger. I take step back in fear of what she might do.

"Win… Winter told me to go to a safe place… to… to stay with a person I know will watch over me and I trust." Her fist loosens up when I tell her I trust her. "You… you were the first person to come to mind… Yang, I'm sorry that I'm using you as cover and that I lied to you! I was afraid that it would put you and your family in danger if I told you and… an… and I…" Tears roll down my cheeks. I choke on my words as I try to swallow the horrible sob building up in the back of my throat. "I couldn't live with myself if you got hurt!" I blurt out and the ugly sob flows out of me. "I can't in danger the one true person I love, Yang! I don't want to lose another person I care about." My head hangs low.

Yang remains Silent. My pitiful sobs are the only sound in the room. Water droplets fall on my glasses forming a tiny pool. I remove them to wipe my tears away, but it's no use. The tears always come back.

"I'm… I'm so sorry, Yang." I croak. "I'm so, so sorry."

There is only silence from Yang. The silence is like a dagger, a hot lava like a dagger, easily slicing open my heart.

Then… arms wrap around me. Strong protective arms that give me the slightest hope that Yang won't be mad. Her fingers run through my hair as my head rests on her shoulder.

Yang coos in my ear, trying to calm the emotional wreck I've become. "It's okay, Weiss. I'm not mad. I know you're scared of what could happen, but that doesn't mean you have to face this alone." She pulls me closer. "I've had this feeling that something wasn't right since Friday. I just wish you would have told me sooner, Weiss. But I'm glad you told me."

My sobs turn to hiccups within seconds as Yang continues to coax me into a relaxing state of mind. She runs her fingers up and down my spine. They go in between each bump until her fingers sit between my shoulders and make a circular motion.

"Does anyone else know?" She asks softly.

"Yes…"

"Who?"

I suck in a shaky breath. "Winter… She's part of a special team in Atlas military and security which is why I told her."

Yang quietly mulls over my words. "So… does she know who is threatening you?"

I cringe knowing that she'll freak when she hears Cardin's name -I'm still doubting that it's him- but it's a consequence I'll have to deal with.

"Yes… Cardin has been… threatening me."

Yang's body froze almost as if her soul left her body or her heart gave out from the name.

"What?" The word shakes me. Yang pulls out to look me in the eye. "You mean to tell me that Cardin Winchester has been threatening you?! And you did tell me?!" her voice rises as she speaks.

"I… I didn't know at the time, Yang! It could have been anyone!" I say in a defensive tone. "I still don't think it's him."

Yang groans, cupping her face with both hands. "Oh, my gods. Oh, my gods! Oh, my gods!"

I can tell she's keeping emotions in check. Not just because she needs a clear head but because she's doing it for me. It's something I've notice Yang do several times when I'm around. She's afraid that something will set off a flashback.

She sighs loudly. "Okay, so you came here for cover, but why didn't you just stay in your big mansion? You guys have security, don't you?"

Yang's not dumb. She knows we have security and the best kind at that. But what she doesn't know is that Cardin is in Atlas right now and Dice is having a meeting with his father.

"Well… yes… but Cardin…"

"... you saw him didn't you." It wasn't a question, Yang knew my answer. "That's why you came here… to get away from him." I don't answer which means yes.

"Did he say anything to you? Did he hurt you?" Yang's voice grows with worry as she speaks. "Weiss, tell me!?"

"He outed me in front of everyone at the art museum!" I cry out.

Yang's shocked from my outburst, Gaping mouth and wide-eyed like a deer in the headlights.

"He outed me," I mumbled. a stray tear trickles down my cheek. "He… he called me a dyke."

There's a sudden mood change in the room, I feel it. Yang isn't happy about I've said.

"I should have knocked that little shit's lights out and when I had the chance," Yang growls.

I try pointing out a positive by saying that my stepfather did seem care that I'm a lesbian. That he's very supportive of my relationship with her. But it's no use. Yang is upset that I've been outed.

"That asshole is gonna get it the next time I see his face." She growls.

"Yang! It's… it's okay. Dice threatened anyone who-"

"I'm not mad that he outed," Yang explains. "I mean I know you wanted to keep secluded and all but it's not that. It's how he outed."

My brows knit together as I question what she meant. "What do you mean by the way he outed me?"

Yang takes a deep, clearly getting frustrated. "I mean he called you a dyke. A dyke is like a racial slur but for lesbians."

My mouth makes an 'o' shape, realizing that I have been insulted multiple times by multiple people. Now I feel like a dolt. Then I realized what Dice meant when he said that he didn't like it when Cardin called me a dyke when speaking with him.

"So That's Dice meant," I mumble.

I thought I saw Yang's eyes flash a crimson color. "What?! Your stepfather called you that too!" She roars.

I put my hands up in defense. "N… no, Yang! Dice didn't call me one. He said he didn't appreciate it when Cardin told him I was a dyke."

Yang calms down now knowing that Dice didn't call me one. "Oh…"

The tenseness in the air fades away and I'm able to relax, unknowing that I clenched every muscle in my body. They feel a bit sore from the tightness. I bring my gaze down to my water stained glasses and try to rub the water off but it only smears the water every which way.

"Your stepfather is pretty cool for standing up for you like that." Yang's soft tone has returned. She plucks the glasses from my hands. Using her t-shift as a cloth, Yang wipes the water away. She then slips back on my face. "I hope I can meet him at the charity next month."

I tuck a loose strand of white hair behind my ear. "I'm sure he'll want to meet his daughter's girlfriend."

"Come here pocket princess." She giggles pulling me into a hug.

I'm tucked under her chin… almost tucked under her chin. A blissful feeling overcomes my body. It's like this warm and fuzzy feeling growing in my chest that could burst like a candy-filled pinata that's been poked at.

"I got you a present," Yang says in a fruity voice.

I look up at her. "Oh and what is- Mfh!" Her lips moosh against mine. Every emotion rises in my body and explodes like fireworks in the night sky. I never wanted this feeling to go away. Like morning follows night. Like a book without end. Like ecstasy.

Without warning, the door swings open and a woman comes in. "Yang. Have you seen- Oh, my!"

Yang pulls away, immediately looking at the woman bug-eyed and a strong blush covering her neck to the tips of her ears. "Mom! What are you doing?!"

"What do my mean what am I doing? I'm being a mother and looking after my daughters." She exclaims taking a peek over Yang's shoulder to me. "But clearly someone is taking care of you for me." She smiles warmly.

"What do you need?" Yang asks stepping in between me and the woman's look. "I don't need you embarrassing me more than you already have."

"Oh, trust me as long as she's here, I'll embarrass you for every minute of it."

Yang groans in disapproval. "Okay, okay, okay! What do you need?"

"I want to know where Ruby ran off to and we are about to have some dinner." Yang's Mom says. "Oh and don't forget to tell Tia that your girlfriend here." With that, Yang's Mom leaves upstairs, alone once again.

Yang sighs and turns back to me. "Sorry about that. I didn't think my family would be back so early from their shopping trip."

I wave it off. "Your stepmother seems nice."

"Summer super nice and I can't wait for you to meet my dad and… uncle." She tone changes drastically.

I'm guessing it's the same uncle that cut her cheek and threatened both her and Ruby. I slide my hand into hers, showing her that I'm here for her.

"I'm here, Yang. I've been in a similar situation just like you have and…" I swallow hard, knowing that this could be some I regret. Knowing Yang though, I highly doubt it. "If it helps… I'll show you my scar."

Yang squeezes my hand and I squeeze back.

"Thank you, Weiss." She mumbles.

I smile. "Your welcome."

We go downstairs to be greeted by a blond haired man standing by the door with a hand full of groceries and a greyish haired man sat on the couch waiting for something. I don't know why exactly, but he seems to be enjoying himself when flipping through the channels as he waits for dinner.

"Hey, dad. I want you to meet someone." Yang says to the blond man.

Clearly it's Yang's dad. With that shaggy blond hair, the way he stands, and how his muscle pop out of his shirt is a dead give away.

"I'll meet your friend here in a second, sweetheart. My arms are filled to the brim with goods." her dad replies in a groan as he tries to balance the bags of food in his arms.

He nearly dropped one, luckily Yang caught it just in time and even took some bags out of her father's arms. I watch as she takes the groceries in the kitchen, leaving me in the living room with the man on the couch. The same man who gave her the scar on her left cheek

"So? Your Yang's girlfriend, huh?" The man asks in a monotone voice.

"Ye… Yes, sir." I answer baffled. 'How did he know about our relationship? Yang has told me that her parents don't mind their daughter dating another girl. Her stepmother is pretty cool in my opinion and her dad seems… pretty chill? But I have mixed feelings about her uncle though.'

"Weiss Schnee." He stands and turns to me. "I'm Qrow, Yang's uncle. I used to work with your sister."

The man is tall and scrawny. With his black pants and red shirt, hunched shoulders, grump look, and palish red eyes, He looks somewhat a bit too intimidating for me to handle on my own.

"O-oh… really?" I try to keep my voice leveled. "Then how come she never mentions you?" Once the question slips past my mouth I immediately regret it.

Qrow's facial expression turns grim. "Hm, I'm not surprised about that. Mostly because I told her not to."

His words send my mind into a tycoon of questions as to why he wanted Winter not to mention him anymore. It's almost as if he wanted to disappear. And to add on top of that, Yang has never mentioned what Qrow did for a living nor did she ever say anything about his past.

"Look kid. I'm sure you're a pretty smart girl and that guy stalking you isn't who you think it is."

"But how do-"

"Just listen carefully. I understand that you have many questions, but I need you to pretend that this talk never happened. The only reason why I'm telling you this is because I'm trying to protect my niece from dangerous people and I'm sure your sister will do a good job watching after you." He says.

I can't possibly run my head around all the information he has given me. It's too much for to understand what's happening and what's going to happen. What does all this mean for Yang and me? What will happen to us? To our relationship?

"It's a lot to take in. But I'm telling you to watch your back." He finishes.

Qrow disappears into the kitchen leaving me baffled, confused and scared for my life. Yang comes out of the kitchen and seems to notice that has made me look distraught.

"Hey? Are you okay?" Yang asks.

I shake my head. "No, I need to talk to you about your uncle."

This wraps in all of Yang's attention. "What? What did he do to you? Did he hurt you?"

Once again I shake my head. "No he… he told me something… Something that you need to know... But… but not here and… not now."

Yang grows more concern by the second. "We'll talk later tonight when everyone's asleep. Okay?"

I nod. "Okay."

Yang puts on a confident smile to help me cool my nerves. "Okay. For now else just enjoy some dinner."

I nod again and Yang leads me into the kitchen. During my conversation with Yang, I felt a pair of red eyes glaring at me from afar.

So the last part between Weiss and Qrow was a quick add-on because I thought the chapter was a bit too short for my taste. Also, the plot will get thicker and thicker as I continue to add on more chapters. And if you guys are where the college part of this college au went, don't worry. it's coming very soon. Hope you guys in enjoy. Have a beautiful weekend. And don't forget to like, comment, subscribe, and I'll see ya later! BYE!
