And more of this... god damn life stopping me from doing this.
Chapter 35:
"It's okay Weiss, Mom will come over eventually. So will Blake, and I mean that freaking green haired bitch doesn't even care." Yang said softly in the small kitchen, a little glad that she had been able to get a few minutes alone with the white haired woman.
"Yang... one don't piss of Emerald too much. She really will kill you, or make you fail a drug test destroying your dream. And two if I'm driving a wedge in your family... I wouldn't mind if we broke up. I don't want to be a wedge between your family again." Weiss said softly as she felt a small grasp on her chin feeling her head being brought up.
"Weiss. Your using again aren't you?" Yang said as she could see the clouded blue eyes drift down and away from her. Already knowing the answer to the question Yang took a deep breath to try and calm her nerves. "What was it this time Weiss?"
"I still don't know if you won't one day wise up and realise I'm standing in the way of your happiness." Weiss said softly as Yang just smiled and leaned down and planted a kiss on her lips. Just wanting to try and show Weiss that she was the true path of happiness was with her.
Pulling back, Yang smiled down at Weiss, already knowing that she was going to be able to show the woman just that. Smiling as she could see Weiss leaning into Yang's strong arms. "Weiss, they will come around. And even Ruby doesn't hold grudges. We just need to wait for that point. I won't abandon you Weiss. No matter what they say I know you like no one else does."
Before Weiss could even say anything else, they could hear a distinct yell of someone irate. "YANG! WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU!"
Taking a deep breath Yang stared into the eyes she fell in love with all those years ago and she spoke up trying to make Weiss feel like she isn't being attacked figuratively. "Stay back here Weiss. There is a strong chance that she doesn't really know about us. I'll get her to pass over us. Don't worry." Yang said with such a definitive tone as she parted from her love.
Stepping out she could see some of the people she vaguely recognised just staring at Ruby. She wasn't sure for what reason. "I swear to any fucking god you guys want, you will see why I hang around Adam Taurus!" Ruby yelled snapping everyone but Yang's attention off of her. "Now, Yang... tell me this is a long complicated joke because I doubt even you are that stupid!" Ruby yelled at Yang who just rolled her eyes.
"Ruby can we have this discussion outside?" Yang asked as she could see the almost defiant look in Ruby's eyes. She wasn't sure why it was even present in her eyes but she knew there would be a reason.
"Nah Yang, trust me if you are that dumb, you'll want witnesses saying you didn't throw the first punch." Ruby cautioned as Yang who just rolled her eyes. She knew that the woman wasn't going to do anything foolish. But the way Ruby was advancing on her was making Yang feel a little uncomfortable. "Yang, drop the act. You know why I'm here. Tell me you aren't actually that stupid. I get how appealing it is to think of going back to her, but she was a monster. Even if you only ever saw the side I did before she got me on smack. But that was never the true her."
"I'm not going to lie Ruby! I found her and she is changing!" Yang countered as she started to crack her neck, fearing that she was going to need to beat her sister again.
Taking a deep breath Yang tried to calm her emotions, but knew that Ruby would know better than to throw a punch because Yang had the terrible habit of not pulling back her hits when it came to Ruby. Feeling the deep breathing not working, Ruby tensed her fists and delivered a blow to her sister's jaw.
Bending with the hit, Yang started to crack her neck again as she looked back at Ruby. "Ruby, your pushing it, and if I fight back I won't be held responsible." Yang stated calmly as she started rub her jaw where her sister delivered the punch. "And without the annoyance of your friend, no one is going to step in to stop me."
"I don't need him." Ruby said calmly as she delivered a hit to Yang's sided just below the ribs. "Maybe we need to get this out of your system, so you can get a good long look at this with a clear head."
"Last chance Ruby. I suggest taking it." Yang said as she could feel her hand tense on instinct alone. She knew that this wasn't going to end anywhere nice if they continued this standoff. Something that Yang would welcome given how much Ruby had seemed to be the topic of discussion and just how much she had been angering her as of recent times.
Tensing the blood encrusted hand Ruby slammed it into the other side of Yang's jaw knowing that she probably started a fight with her sister but would possibly end her stupidity. Something that she had to do. Even if it was a marginally better improvement, Ruby knew that she could force Yang into it. She just had to save her sister from doing something as stupid as she had often caught herself thinking of before she really got to know Pyrrha.
Smiling as she felt the man's arm wrap around her shoulder and pulling her into a small embrace, she just took some deep breaths to try and calm the raging storm that was brewing inside her mind. But she had to admit that while it had been a while since she got the call from Summer... it didn't really help her nearly as much as Sun making sure she was feeling alright.
It was something that she normally would rather if Ruby was the one bringing her comfort, but Sun was right. She should trust that Ruby would be smart enough not to do something potentially life destroying. She couldn't even fathom how that would crush her emotionally.
Glancing down the couch, Pyrrha just took another deep breath at the sight of her sister sitting on the couch. The teen just seeming to resist the pang of hunger that Pyrrha knew really was from their mother's programming.
"Via... if you are hungry go find some food in the kitchen. Ruby may not be back tonight." Pyrrha said as she pulled away from the one armed hug Sun was giving her. She knew that it was a false sense of comfort that she just couldn't condone. She had to stay alert in case Ruby comes back after doing something dumb.
"But... Sun said he'd make something called 'an everything sandwich' if I can just survive a little longer." Octavia spoke as Pyrrha snapped her head to the blonde man who was chuckling a little.
"Not going to lie, I forgot all about that. But I can make it now." Sun said with a snicker standing up cracking his back, just regretting the decision of sitting on the couch all day. His back starting to feel a bit of an ache as looked towards the teen who he couldn't help but feel was a little like a younger version of his best friend. "You going to come with me? Let your sister have the panic attack she has been keeping bottled up, and possibly calling someone to make sure they haven't seen Red." Sun continued, getting only cut off by the phone resting on the coffee table going off.
"Right, Tall Red you get that, I'll go deplete the stocks of food you claim is meant to survive two people a whole week." Sun stated with a small laugh as Pyrrha rolled her eyes and reached forward to grab the phone.
Flicking her finger across to answer the phone, Pyrrha couldn't help but feel an eyebrow raise at the fact Yang was calling her. "What is it you want Yang? Did Ruby make it to you?" Pyrrha asked in an almost pleading tone that she knew was going to seem like a weakness, but she didn't care. She had huge things she was going to worry about until she had Ruby in her arms and a very clear lack of marks on her body from injecting something.
However the voice that came over the phone was very clearly not Yang's. It was one that she couldn't believe would have the audacity to call her in such a manner. "Don'thangup! Ruby and Yang both are on their way to the hospital. They got into a fight and it was messy. I tried to call Summer and Blake but neither would give me the chance to spit this out."
"I swear to any god you want Weiss, if you did anything, you are going to wish Ruby had the guts to want your blood." Pyrrha spat she knew a lot more vehemently than she probably would use on anyone else, but she couldn't be weak at this point.
"I'm not lying. People were practically drooling for blood and it took several police officers to stop the fight. And I only tried to call people because I doubt Ruby has a phone. From some reason that makes sense only to her." Weiss continued as Pyrrha stood up and nearly ran to her shoes, she knew that Sun knew enough of the conversation to get that she was running out. "I get that you don't trust me. But I'm heading and chances are Ruby will need whoever holds her power of attorney. If she doesn't have one, because you are her wife that defaults to you. If you want to kill me I'll be by Yang's bedside."
"Run Tall Red. We'll finish up here and follow you." Sun said a lot faster than Pyrrha would have figured but she knew how sensitive Ruby was really to it and he was only getting half of the conversation. Something that she had no doubt if she wanted blood, Sun would want her head. "Your going to the hospital. So go." Sun said letting on that he knew more of the conversation than he was letting on.
Shining the man a smile, Pyrrha slipped her shoes on as she slammed her finger into the end call button, slipped her phone into her pocket, grabbed her keys, flung the door open and started to run.
Glancing towards the teen Sun just took a deep breath. "That woman best hope your sister kills her because Tall Red will show mercy." Sun said as he started to make a rush job of preparing the meal.
"Pyr would never kill anyone. Even if that bitch of a woman she is married to is hurt." Octavia spoke as Sun stopped what he was doing to look at the teen.
"You are only calling Red that because she all but flushed your stash and is trying to get you clean. Trust me, Red has an effect on people. There is a reason it is made very clear she is the only human accepted willingly in the Menagerie. Or how most of the gangs won't touch her. Nothing from my doing or my brother's. Just because of her personality. I mean look at your sister. Did she seem like the type growing up that would have a very successful life, potentially throw it all away just so she can go against what she always thought and even date to eventual marriage with a heroin addict?" Sun knew that his answer was probably never going to come.
"How am I meant to know?" Octavia's soft voice spoke, as though she doubted that she'd get an answer. "Come on, let's go catch up with Pyrrha."
