Yang sat there with constrained furry, her eyes blazing red as tears streamed down her face. Despite the times she had stated that Summer was not her biological mother to her, she still couldn't deny that deep down, Yang loved her just as much as Summer had loved her. She might not have been the one that gave birth to her, but she treated Yang as if she was her own. She wanted to burn everything, to destroy every single item in the room and even then it wouldn't be enough. Yet she sat there, frozen in anger, but most of all grief.
"Lark had said that before he was knocked out, there was a portal that appeared behind Dove and a woman with a mask jumped out and stabbed him" Cardin stated. "We believe she is one of the Master Assassins"
"She is." Taiyang smirked as he rubbed his jaw, sounding amused. "That is Raven. You find her and report back to me once you do. I'll kill her personally."
"Understood sir." Cardin responded. "We'll get her." he added before turning to leave, closing the door behind him.
Cardin had to be stopped, he couldn't report back in to his squad. Blake shifted slightly where she was hiding, but remembered that Yang was still there. The Grandmaster himself had lingered for a little bit longer, he stood in the middle of the room with his hands his back. It made a shiver run down Blake's spine how he just stood there, smiling, as if he knew that they were there.
"She ended up being a waste of time, really." Taiyang sighed dejectedly. "All those years of training her gone to waste. Yang was more trouble than she was worth."
He left, closing the door behind him gently. When the coast was clear Blake walked back out into the open.
"I need to stop Cardin." She said.
Yang crawled out from under the desk, she didn't even hear Blake, her body had gone numb, her mind blank. He lied to her, for years, even when she was a small child he fed her lies. She felt so betrayed, so angry at herself. So stupid for even believing every word that he had told her.
"R-Ruby can't know about this" She mumbled, clutching her head, her eyes wide and frantic "S-She can't."
Blake looked at Yang for a moment before shaking her head.
"Ruby finding out or not is not the issue at hand right now." She was adjusting her clothing again. "I need to warn Raven, I need to tell the council what is going on. What happened with Summer."
She was right, now was not the time to worry about that. Hundreds of lives are going to suffer through starvation, she didn't want them to go through what she had as a child. As much as Yang hated Raven for what she has done, for leaving her and for hurting her; she needed to stop Cardin. Besides, she did try to avenge Summer. That one the one good thing she had ever done in her life.
Yang wiped her eyes with her arm, breathing out. She was about to say something until an explosion had gone off, Blake whipped her head to the general direction where the explosion went off, both said the same thing simultaneously. "Ruby"
"I don't know if you compromised the mission or not" Weiss snapped as they ran around a corner.
"We need to get this back to the council. They need to see what they had made." Ruby said, holding up the spear. Somehow she was expecting the others to call her 'Crater Face' after this. "We are being outgunned, Weiss. We need to know how this works or better yet, duplicate it to even out the playing field."
Weiss couldn't believe it, the Templars were planning on starting a war, with weapons that just didn't seem right! A lance that turned into a gun. It did put the Assassins at a disadvantage. Seeing the number of weapons they had to carry to be effective, transforming weapons would change the entire game.
"What about the other two?" She asked Ruby quickly.
"We meet up at the rendezvous point." Ruby said, she reached out her hand just as a Templar had jumped out in front of her. Just as the poor fellow did a blade penetrated his neck. "We have no other choice to leave as quickly as possible or else we will be outnumbered."
It was unexpected, she had let her guard down. Thankfully, her aura had reduced the damage of the force. It made only her stumble back.
Cardin raised his mace again for another blow. Weiss quickly unsheathed Myrtenaster and jumped in between them to block his attack. His eyes widened at the sight of the heiress, his fiancé. Weiss clicked her tongue, not knowing how to solve this predicament but had to worry about it another time. She summoned a glyph underneath him that sent him to the ceiling. He crashed into it, cracking the cement at the sheer force that he was thrown, Cardin fell to the floor in a dazed heap.
"C'mon, we have to go!" Ruby yelled, taking hold of Weiss' forearm. "Before we get over run."
Weiss looked at Ruby and the direction they were coming from. Yes, they had to keep moving, this just didn't seem like the right solution.
"Remember what Blake told us." Weiss said as they burst out into the streets. "Stay to the crowds, remove the hood."
She was expecting her first mission as an Assassin to be easy. She hadn't had the same training Ruby and Blake had, she was a merchant's daughter for heaven's sake.
They just had to go and steal a weapon didn't they?
"Good" Ruby smiled, pulling up her hood. Strapping the weapon on her waist. "You remember."
Ruby hoped that the other two were safe. They might have compromised their positions, but technically the mission was still a success. They have information, big news for the council, it was better than nothing. Only thing left to do now was to escape.
"Hey you two!" Someone yelled behind them. Accompanied by dozens of footsteps. "Stop!"
Weiss looked over her shoulder in a panic before she looked at Ruby. There were at least twenty Templars coming after them. Weiss can fight, she can hold her own, but with so many opponents she might as well be a liability for Ruby. She could handle them if she was in perfect condition, but she had her injured leg to worry about. There were in a crowded street, other people may be affected as collateral damage and both of them wanted to avoid that. It placed them at a disadvantage.
"We need to split up, run!" She hissed as she ran along side Ruby. They tried to shake off the mob that was currently chasing them in twists in turns.
Getting killed on her first mission wouldn't be any good to anyone.
Ruby didn't want to have them split up, especially since it was Weiss' first mission. She had the responsibility to take care of her. Splitting up was a good idea, but too risky. She didn't know the capability Weiss had. Ruby wasn't even sure if she could fight in her condition, this was mission was just supposed to be training, a test run for the heiress. And yet it was something bigger than expected, a threat that loomed over the brotherhood. She wrapped her arm around the heiress' waist, securely holding her close.
"Hold on!"
"Wait! What are you doing!?" Weiss shouted when Ruby grabbed her. "We don't have time for games!"
To say she was scared would be an understatement, she was terrified. She didn't think her first mission as an Assassin would be like this, she had Blake, a Master Assassin, on the team, and then Ruby, the daughter of Summer Rose as her leader.
Was it that Templar?
Ruby shot forward with the use of her semblance. Adding more distance between them and the approaching enemies. It wasn't long for her to see the end of the alleyway they were in, with Weiss in her arms and at her current condition, she wouldn't be able to stop in time for the collision. She slowed down abruptly, as much as she could at that speed and at the last minute, turned her back against the wall, using as much aura she could muster to protect both of them.
"Shit." Ruby grunted, blood filling her mouth. She looked back at where they came from, no sound, no footsteps. She spat out some blood in her mouth. "Guess we lost them."
She could feel that her aura had gone down immensely, she didn't have enough to dull the pain on her back, but they had gotten away from a possible fight.
"You dolt!" Weiss yelled "You could've gotten seriously injured! "
"I'm fine!" Ruby replied, making sure not to show the heiress her blood stained teeth by raising her arm to cover her mouth. "We have to get out of here"
"We're not going anywhere swiftly with you hurt like that." Weiss muttered, "Let's just hope the others are doing better."
The blood that was running down the side of Blake's face was hastily wiped away as she pulled her other hand out of Cardin's neck. She had no desire to kill the messenger, but the moment there was an explosion in the base, everything had to be done by the seat of the pants.
That usually meant more killing.
She huffed as she stood back up straight, hand going up to touch injured ear. With Yang unable to stay as quiet as her, Cardin had heard them coming, and was ready. Blake had managed to dodge the mace, but didn't expect him to nab her by the ear and pull until it tore.
Gods it hurt.
She looked at the body then at Yang who was clutching her side where Cardin had hurt her with his mace. The blonde was quick to counter, retaliating twice as hard with a right blow to his liver. It gave Blake the chance to jump on him for the finishing blow.
"You know I didn't have a choice."
"You're hurt." Yang stated, stepping in close to the Faunus. She didn't care about Cardin, he was an asshole the day she met him. "Here."
The blonde couldn't do much at all with her ear, but she can numb the pain as best as she could. The ear would need to be stitched up for it to completely heal, although it will leave a scar. She avoided the other's amber gaze as she channeled her aura to her ear.
"I hear Ruby likes scars." She tried to lighten up the mood, she really did. Blake only glared at her.
Time was running out, they don't have the luxury to stay put. Yang had managed to stop the bleeding and that was good enough for her. "C'mon, let's go to that rendezvous point"
The wounded ear flicked nervously, making Blake cringe slightly. She was usually better than this, avoided getting hurt on missions, but she guess someone just reaching out and pulling it was hard to predict and react. No one had ever attempted to grab her ears before and no one would have the opportunity to do so before killing them.
"I'd probably say that one has been compromised." Blake said. "Ruby and I have a secondary one, we'll go there." she told Yang.
Yang glanced at Cardin's dead body and when she was sure that Blake wasn't looking, she shoved his hand in his pants. When his body is found, they'll think he died doing his business and that in itself made Yang smirk. That's for being a sexist, racist asshole
"Mind telling me where it is?" Yang asked, falling in stride with the Faunus "The market place would be jammed pack by now so there wouldn't be much people anywhere else"
Blake lowered her hand from her ear before trying to rub most of the blood off her face before it dried. She already knew Ruby's reaction wasn't going to be a happy one. Blake was going to say the safe house, but there was an agreement not to let Yang know of any of them as long as she wore the Templar Cross. Hard to say how much longer that would be.
"The tailor shop, owned my the Schnee Company." She said quickly. "Vivienne is a friend."
She could see why they chose the tailor shop, there were lots of them in the city and it was also the last place the Templars would check. The fact also that the employee there is also a friend is handy.
"There's a way out here somewhere close. Just around that corner over there" Yang said, pointing due east.
"Can you climb?" Blake asked quickly, getting a shake from Yang as a no, but Blake knew the city like the back of her hand.
The Faunus wanted to take the scenic route, to reach the safe house faster, but going through the streets were no problem either. The guards are probably looking for Weiss and Ruby than Blake and Yang.
"Okay, quickly." She said as gestured Yang to follow her.
"Blake! You're hurt!" Vivienne shouted when the two girls entered the shop. "Quickly, quickly to the back." she said flipping the sign on the door so it said closed.
"I'll fix you up."
"Hey, I've been here lots of times." Yang said aloud "This is dad's favorite shop."
She had been here dozens of times, it was like the assassins had made secret bases in all of their hangouts without their knowledge. They were literally under their noses the whole time and they never knew. The Templars thought that they were the ones with the upper hand, but in fact the Assassins were the ones that were.
Vivienne glanced at Yang for a moment, a silent question to why her favorite Faunus was with a Templar, but she didn't say much after that, shaking her head as she forced Blake to sit down on a stool. While they made their way to the shop the wound had reopened and had started bleeding again.
"Watch the window for Ruby and Weiss." Blake said flinching when the older woman inspected her torn ear. "They should be coming."
Yang did as told without complaint, of course she wasn't concentrating on her job, because her father's words rang in her head. Playing over and over again, how she was used by her father. He referred to her like some kind of animal that he can control with training and discipline. And worse of all, he killed Summer.
I am so disappointed in her to be easily taken by those Assassins
You were an accident.
Yang was more trouble than she was worth.
A waste of time
"Yang?" Ruby said, snapping her out of her thoughts. "Are you okay? Where's Blake?
Worry, that's what she saw in her sister's eyes. She had the tendency to gnaw on her cheek whenever she was and at the moment, that's what Ruby was exactly doing. The shorter girl then proceed to check Yang for any injuries that she may have gotten and was satisfied to find none. Although the blood that stained her shirt and hands concerned her a little.
The former Templar gestured inside.
"Being fixed up by Vivienne, she got hurt" The moment she mentioned that the Faunus was injured, she just saw a red blur and rose petals.
Weiss had given Yang a look, one that told her that she understood what Yang was going through, discovering the lifestyle you were raised for was not the one suited for you. That all those years you were nothing more than a pawn in their game. Yang could only lean back against the wall, sliding down to the floor.
"The truth hurts." She said before walking off in the direction Ruby had run off too. Yang couldn't agree more.
The heiress could already hear raised voices in the back room, most of them from Vivienne.
"What in the world is Ozpin thinking!?" Vivienne yelled, stitching Blake's ear. She cut the wire with one single bite, shifting her eyes to Ruby, who was holding the Faunus' hand, wiping the remaining blood off of her face. "You just recovered from a fever and you also have an injured leg! I swear that man is wearing all of you to the ground! He's going to get you all killed before the Templars could even have the chance to do so."
Ruby had tried to calm her down earlier in vain, instead she let the old woman rant away. She knew Vivienne was just worried, she was gone for almost a week and coming back telling her she was sick, then kidnapped, then rescued, then was sent to a mission. They couldn't blame her for her reaction. Blake tightened her grip on Ruby's hand as Vivienne wrapped a bandage around her ear.
"Oh no, not only that" Vivienne went on, her gaze fell upon the heiress. "Miss Schnee herself decided to put her life on the line. She couldn't just stay safe, no, she wanted to jump in on this occupational hazard that you all have chosen."
"Vivi." Blake winced. "Can you lower your voice? My ear hurts enough as it is."
The older woman seemed to have realized her error, that she was basically screaming in a wounded Faunus' ear, she stepped back.
"I'm sorry dear. But still! Master Assassin or not, you're all still people. You have basic needs as well! And the Templar! Why are all of you with a Templar?"
Blake was silent one wit that one as well as Ruby.
"I think, Yang needs to explain that one." Weiss said realizing that the couple wouldn't say anything.
"Harder Yang! Is that how you punch?! Pathetic!" Taiyang yelled, his hands on his hips.
"I'm trying!" Yang yelled back, her eyes red.
She clenched her fist in anger, she was tired, exhausted and her father yelling at her did not help at all. She pulled back her fist and took a step forward, slamming her foot down and twisted her hips as she threw a devastating blow to the punching bag, her hand, deep inside it.
"Good!" Her father cheered, slapping her sweat ridden shoulder. She pulled out and winced. Her hand was broken. "That's how you do it!"
For the past few minutes she stayed on the floor and began to remember those times that he was too hard on her, which was every training session they had. Those times that what she thought were father-daughter bonding time was in fact, training an Assassin killing machine. She gritted her teeth as the back of her eyes burned. The whole thing felt surreal, like a nightmare, she wanted it to stop. She wanted to wake up back in their old house as if these past few years never happened.
"This is complete and utter bullshit" Yang spat, hitting her head against the wall.
"What is?" Weiss asked as she walked back out of the room the others were in. Yang exhaled slowly as she thumbed the Templar pin on the collar of her shirt.
"My life." Yang said as she leaned forward, resting her elbows on her knees. "Blake and I, we saw the Grandmaster, my, father." She trailed off. "Ruby… I don't know if Ruby should know."
"Oh god" The blonde said, rubbing her face. "He killed our mom and he doesn't even regret it"
She didn't know why she was sharing this with the heiress, it just felt right. Maybe it was because they were the same, that their dads both deceived them in some way. That their actions has affected them both. Yang couldn't hold it in anymore, she just burst out crying, tears spilling over her cheeks like endless waterfalls. She cried with no sound, she cried silently just like she did as a child, so that Ruby wouldn't know. So that her little sister wouldn't see her in a moment of weakness.
"Everything is just so fucked up." She sniffed. She could use a drink right about now, the strong kind.
Weiss was a little bit lost on what to do, should she just comfort Yang? Or… she bit her lower lip.
"Ruby." She called out, getting the attention of both Assassins in the back room. Blake now had a bandage over the stitches on her ear and Weiss could see it constantly flicking in irritation.
"I think… Team RWBY needs it's first team meeting." She suggested, gesturing at Yang.
"Yang is everything okay?" Ruby asked.
Lie, that was what her mind was telling her. She wanted to lie that everything was fine, but Weiss and Blake knew. Ruby needed to know what their father did, what he really is. She shook her head, not trusting her own words. Their young leader knelt down in front of Yang, placing her arms around the blonde bruiser in an embrace. She was so stupid to not check how the blonde was fairing with all that happened. She may not have physical injuries, but that doesn't mean she wouldn't have psychological ones as well.
"I this about dad?" She whispered. Yang nodded.
"He… he." Yang started up a couple times but failed to continue, just taking the moment to glance over at Blake, the Faunus nodded.
"We, saw him while we were raiding the office." Blake said. "We didn't confront him, but he said some pretty damming things." She continued softly. "Some things were… I think…"
"I don't want to be part of his game anymore." Yang muttered.
Ruby ran her fingers through blonde hair, combing out the knots with her small slender digits. Yang let out a shuddering breath, a lone tear fell down her cheek. It was all too much for her, how would her little sister handle this kind of information? She loved him so much, she was the one that took off his boots when he came home, the one that gave their father his cup of tea every time he asks for it. The one who didn't mind rubbing his stinky feet when he asked for it, even when he didn't she would, out of habit. She didn't know how her sister could handle this.
"T-There's one more thing" She said, gritting her teeth. Angry as she may be, she was devastated at the news herself. Ruby was concerned how the blonde's eyes flickered from lilac to red, she hasn't seen that happen before. "H-He killed her, Ruby. He killed Summer. Dad killed mom."
Ruby froze, eyes wide. She pulled back from the hug, holding Yang at arm's length. "N-No, that can't be. He loved her. H-He…He can't have."
Her lower lip trembled, her voice cracking with emotion. She looked at Yang for any indication for this to be a joke. A sick, sick joke. She then looked at Blake, pleading her, hoping that she would tell the truth, that this was only a lie. Blake breaking eye contact with her was the truth in itself.
"He was never an Assassin to start with." Blake said softly. "Always a Templar from the start, joined our ranks to act as a spy, screwing over, Raven and Summer at the same time. He tried to get word out to kill Raven, but I killed the messenger before he could get anywhere."
"H-He..That's…" Ruby hung her head, hands still clutching her sister's broad shoulders, then she whispered "He's not that kind of person."
"Ruby, I know it's hard to accept that truth. It hurts, it always hurts." Yang said, removing her sisters hands and hugging them close to her chest. "Dad was never what he was before. It was all an act. A ruse."
Ruby choked back a sob. It was too much for her to accept this, to process everything. She had planned that she could still persuade their father that what he's doing is wrong, that he should come back. Now… Now he's gone forever, just like her mother. He's gone and wouldn't come back.
"So what are you going to do Yang?" Weiss asked softly. "You can't go back, and you're treading water like the rest of us."
"If Yang wishes to join the order, that is up to her." Blake said firmly. "But right now, this needs to be reported to Ozpin. I already stepped out of line when I killed Cardin to protect any fallout against Master Raven. Therefore he needs to be the one who decides if the Grandmaster needs to be killed or not."
"I'm joining." Yang said, standing up "My father should be stopped, he's gone too far."
Ruby wiped the tears from her face, standing up as well. She handled the information rather well, Yang can't help but be proud at how mature her little sister has gotten.
Ruby's eyes held as much determination as her sister does. They almost looked alike, if not for their hair and eyes. There was a slow nod in the group as Yang went about removing any Templar markings from her clothing as Vivienne appeared with a hat Yang could use instead of trying to hide all her hair in a hood.
"Then we return to Ozpin." Blake said. "We don't know how much longer he's going to be in town, and he knows where our hideout is. When he finds out Cardin is dead, he might plan an attack against us."
"Ruby, do be careful." Vivienne said softly "Don't push yourself, even if your fever is gone."
Ruby nodded at the woman, giving her a reassuring smile. She then went over to the Faunus, pulling her down by taking hold of her sleeve to get Blake on eye level and kiss her on the cheek. It wasn't much, just a small peck. The reason for it was because she was glad that Blake was safe, that she didn't get killed today.
"You know, they say scars makes a person look sexier." Ruby teased, giggling. Yang gave Blake a knowing look, the Faunus ignored her.
"Not when it's on my ear." Blake said flatly, but before she could do anything in return anything, wanting to steal a little kiss from the smaller girl, Weiss was pushing them apart.
"Nada on the P.D.A!" She told the two. "Save it for the bedroom!"
"I don't think Yang would appreciate the bedroom." Blake purred, a mischievous glint in her eyes. Ruby couldn't help but blush at that statement, knowing full well the kind of literature Blake indulges in.
"Hey, hey, hey, I do not need the image of my sister getting frisky with Blake." Yang shuddered. She couldn't prevent that from happening, since her little sister is pretty much legal to do whatever she wants. "Thanks, Ice Queen. You made me want to puke."
"Oh stop being a child." Hence the start of their bickering.
Ruby chuckled at the two, holding Blake's hand, squeezing it lightly. It didn't matter to her now, the news of their father, she doesn't care anymore. It's his loss for letting go of his family.
"Let's go." She said, grinning at the Faunus beside her.
The silence that had torn through the Council of Assassins could rival that of a crypt when Blake had explained the news to them. The truth about Taiyang and the interrupted plot to kill Raven.
With Yang's desire to change factions, Qrow was more than happy to lead his niece away to help her get set up with the appropriate gear while Weiss had decided to return home to quell any fires she might have started. She was fortunate enough to know that Cardin was taken care of, it might tha her cover would not be blown.
So it just left the two of them.
"Soo…" Ruby trailed off "I think I'm gonna go to bed. It's almost one in the morning"
She looked down at her shoes nervously. Her face slowly turning dark red, despite being nineteen she was still as shy as she was before, even to her friends at times. "C-Could you perhaps accompany me?"
Blake leaned down slightly, her finger underneath Ruby's chin, lifting the shorter girls' head up slightly to kiss her briefly. She finds it adorable the way she had asked the Master Assassin.
"If you want me with you, all you have to do is ask." Blake responded. "But in all seriousness, I feel like I can sleep until next week."
"We're all tired" Her hand found Blake's hand and entwined their fingers together. "Mostly the both of us, because this was one hell of a week."
Ruby guided the Faunus to her room and of course, kept an eye out for her sister. She knew the blonde would make an excuse for them to not sleep together in Ruby's bed, even for just plain sleeping.
"Unfortunately, we won't be getting a holiday until this threat is dealt with." Blake said softly as Ruby lead them down towards her room.
"We'll worry about your sister in the morning, or afternoon, whenever we wake up." Blake was losing her train of thought.
As soon as they reached her bedroom, Ruby locked it behind them, facing the Faunus her hands behind her holding the doorknob, smiling up at Blake "Hopefully, she'll be distracted by Weiss."
"So you noticed it too?" Blake smirked.
"I know Yang my whole life and when she likes someone, she tends to annoy the shit out of them." Ruby laughed.
"Do you know I find it cute that you curse occasionally." The Faunus purred, walking towards her. "The rarity of such profanities from you is a quality that I love."
"I'll keep that in mind." She swallowed the lump in her throat, the look Blake gave her, she couldn't describe it. But it's doing something to her.
With those words Blake leaned down crashed her lips against hers. One hand held Ruby's waist while the others was up against the door, beside the smaller girl's head. The feeling was just like in the church, although this time their lives weren't in danger.
Ruby breathed in deeply, inhaling the sweet familiar scent of her room. The weight of her armor began to be an annoyance for her, she should have taken it off before their make out session. Of course, Blake wouldn't need to worry about armor seeing as she doesn't wear one.
Her cape came off first, then her blouse. Underneath her armor was a black tank top. Blake followed suit, folding her clothes neatly and placed them on Ruby's desk. The Faunus turned her back to give the other privacy as she changed into something that wasn't drenched in sweat.
"It feels nice to be out of that." Ruby said, placing her armor on a mannequin.
"Hopefully, the Council will take over for a couple days." Blake said as she moved over to stand in front of Ruby, lifting her chin up once more before kissing her again.
"I feel bad about everything." Blake muttered, she held the smaller girl closer to her body, foreheads resting against each other. "Losing you, then finding out about your father."
"There's nothing for you to feel bad about." Ruby said, she wrapped her arms around the Faunus, into her embrace. "My father isn't important anymore, like Yang said. He's not the father we knew, it was only a trick."
Despite saying those words there was an empty hole that formed in her chest. The same one she felt when her mother died. She was in pain, her heart broken upon knowing her very own father killed her mother. All those happy memories she remembered was all an act, nothing more and nothing less. The only ones that she knew was real was with her mother and Yang.
Blake was silent as she picked Ruby up off the ground, keeping the hug as tight as she could before walking the three steps over to the bed, setting them both down on it, but Ruby lying on top of her.
"But you're hurting still."
"I've been hurting since my mother died." Ruby mumbled as silver pools meet golden ones. She reached up and caressed the Faunus' cheek, brushing her thumb over her skin. Their faces, mere centimeters apart.
Only one word could describe her girlfriend, beautiful.
"I've been hurting when I found out Yang was being used and I'm hurting for worrying you."
The stitched ear moved and Blake winced at the same time, having forgotten what Cardin had done to it before his death, but she still leaned into Ruby's touch.
"I am positive you worry about me too." Blake said softly, kissing her nose in jest. "Look at what we do for a living. One misstep, one wrong dodge, and we will just be another body on the street."
"And yet it's worth it." She whispered, she kissed Blake's nose in return. "All the lives we saved, the people we helped."
Ruby lets out a soft yawn, bringing up her free hand to cover her mouth. Tears prickled the corner of her eyes as she blinked rapidly. The soft bed made her realize just how tired she is. Blake's breathing had already evened out, the slow rise and fall of her chest, having dozed off the moment Ruby had kissed her on the nose. One hand shifting slightly around Ruby's waist to hold her a little bit closer.
"Goodnight." Ruby mumbled. Blake purred in response.
She entangled their legs and rested her head on the other's shoulder, her slim arms wrapped around Blake's torso. Her nose brushed against the Faunus' collarbone. She fell asleep to the heartbeat of her girlfriend, being lulled to sleep to the steady breathing of her beloved.
Edit: I will be changing the rating of this story to M as I have warned in the description that there will be smut in future chapters.
I do not own RWBY nor Assassin's Creed and both are owned by their respective owners.
Leave a review! If it ain't constructive criticism, best shut up.
