Here's chapter 38 everyone.
Ruby was worried about today, since she decided that Yang and Blake should let Weiss know about their relationship. It was her idea to tell her, but she was afraid of how Weiss would react to it. Weiss already expressed her thoughts on how it wouldn't make sense for a human and a faunus to be together.
Maybe she won't say anything about it. Why would she? It's not like their relationship affects her.
Ruby walked into her room, which Yang and Blake had been there already. Blake was reading a book, and Yang was listening to some music. Yang noticed Ruby walk in, and she took her headphones off.
"Hey Rubes." Yang greeted.
"Hello Ruby." Blake said.
"Hey guys. Where's Weiss at?" Ruby asked.
"I'm not sure actually. She's probably training or something." Blake answered.
"I swear, that girl needs to find other things to do besides studying and training." Yang stated.
"She does other things." Ruby exclaimed.
"Like what?" Yang asked.
"Well, don't ask her about this, but we've talked a bit; kind of how you and Blake have been doing." Ruby explained.
"Oh really? My sis is taking things in the same direction as us? Soon you should tell her how you feel, and then you'll be a true copycat." Yang smirked.
Ruby blushed and said. "What! No, Weiss has just been telling me a little about her past."
Blake looked up from her book and said. "She has? I didn't think Weiss would be okay talking about that."
"She said since I trusted her with the stuff about my mom, she's okay with telling me about her past." Ruby smiled.
"That's great to hear. I'm glad to see that Weiss is more open about her life." Blake stated.
"What made her want to talk with you about her life anyway?" Yang questioned.
Ruby looked away for a moment. "When I told Weiss about how you wanted to tell Blake how you feel, she told me about how she felt about humans and faunus being together."
"Yeah I remember, but what does that have to do with anything?" Yang inquired.
"She was telling me about how humans being with faunus would be difficult, since people would shun them for their choices. I asked her how she would know about that, and she explained how she didn't exactly go through that, but something similar. That's how she started talking about her life with me, to explain some things." Ruby answered.
"So what you're saying is that she had a relationship with a human before?" Blake assumed.
"I don't want to say any more about this. She trusts me with the information about her past, and I don't want to break that trust." Ruby stated.
Blake nodded, knowing full well that it should be Weiss herself to tell her and Yang about her life.
"You know, maybe it's better to not tell her about Blake and I. she kind of already thinks it's a bad idea for a faunus and human to be together." Yang suggested.
"She'll find out eventually, and I don't think keeping this a secret would be fair to Weiss. She's a member of this team, and most importantly our friend. Though it is your relationship, so I'll let you two decide on this." Ruby stated.
Blake and Yang looked at each other for a moment. The two were torn, since it was true that keeping secrets from Weiss didn't feel right, but they didn't know if she would accept their relationship.
"What do you think?" Yang asked Blake.
Blake took a moment to think.
"I think that telling Weiss is okay, even if she won't agree with it." Blake suggested.
Yang smiled and said. "Well okay, if that's what you think is right then I'm cool with it."
Weiss entered the room suddenly, and the three was almost jumped out of their beds.
Weiss took note of her teams reactions and raised an eyebrow.
"Uh, are you three okay?" Weiss asked.
Ruby quickly answered. "Yeah, were fine. We just weren't expecting you to be here so soon."
"Why? I didn't say I was going anywhere." Weiss said.
"Well, you usually just go and train for a while. We just thought you'd be in the training area a little longer." Ruby lied.
"Um, okay then. I didn't actually even train today. I took a little walk around the school, just to get some air and relax for once outside of this dorm." Weiss stated.
"How come you didn't tell me? I would've liked to have a nice walk outside." Ruby exclaimed.
"I said I wanted to relax. I doubt having you there would have been very relaxing." Weiss explained.
Ruby huffed and said. "I can be relaxing! I just don't need to have any sweets for the day then I'm as relaxed as a sloth."
"Have you been talking with Nora about sloths, Rubes?" Yang questioned.
"Maybe, but don't side track me. Please let me come with you next time on a walk, Weiss. Please, I promise to be really quiet." Ruby begged.
Yang and Blake chuckled a bit at their leader's eagerness.
Weiss rolled her eyes and said. "Fine, but you better keep your promise on staying quiet. Walks like the one I took are peaceful, and I don't need any loud dolts ruining that."
Ruby smiled and nodded.
The four girls did their own things. Yang went back to listening to music, while Blake went back to her book. Ruby and Weiss decided to study for a bit, but Ruby took short breaks to listen to some songs.
Yang and Blake wanted to give Weiss a few moments to relax before telling her the news.
An hour had passed before Yang coughed to get Weiss' attention.
"Weiss, could we talk with you about something for a minute?" Yang asked.
Weiss looked up from her book and said. "Depends on what you want to talk about."
"It's a little personal, but it doesn't involve you." Yang stated.
"Okay then, what exactly do you want to talk about?" Weiss questioned.
"I know Rubes here told you about Blake and me." Yang responded.
"Um, where is this going?" Weiss asked.
Yang decided to not waste any time on this.
"Blake and I are dating." Yang exclaimed.
Blake and Ruby went wide eyed, since they didn't expect Yang to just come out and say it that way.
Weiss sat there with a shocked expression. She didn't know how to take this, since he did know that Yang wanted to ask Blake to be more than friends, but she didn't expect them to actually get together.
"You're joking, right?" Weiss questioned.
Blake stepped in the conversation and said. "No, she isn't. We both decided to give this a try, and we wanted to let you know about it."
"Why would you two want to have this sort of relationship? Aren't you afraid what others would do if they saw you together?" Weiss exclaimed.
"Screw what other people think. Their opinions don't mean a damn thing to me." Yang stated.
"I don't mean their opinions, I meant their actions." Weiss said.
"What do you mean their actions?" Blake questioned.
Weiss froze for a second, since she didn't exactly want to explain that.
"Nothing; never mind. Seriously though, don't you two think that your lives would be easier, if you didn't pursue this sort of relationship?" Weiss asked.
"We don't give a damn about-." Before Yang could finish, Blake cut her off.
"Weiss, I want to know. Do you have any opinions on us?" Blake asked.
"What do you mean?" Weiss inquired.
"The reason we wanted to let you know, wasn't because we wanted to explain why we're together. It was to see how you feel specifically about us. Forget about the other people. Are you okay with us?" Blake specified.
Weiss was torn about this, since she knew that Blake told her to forget what other people might think, but that is such a huge reason for her views on the subject. Weiss however knew that her teammates seem to not care for people's opinions.
"I-I don't know. I just don't know tight now." Weiss answered.
Blake and Yang frowned at Weiss' answer.
Suddenly Ruby jumped down and said. "Weiss, you know that their choice in pursuing this relationship makes them happy, right? We're all friends here, and that includes you. Friends should be supportive of one another, which is why Blake and Yang feel a little upset that you might not support this."
Weiss frowned and said. "It isn't like I can't completely accept this. I just don't see the point in going through what could be hell, just to be with someone."
"When people care about each other enough, they would fight hell itself if it meant they could stay together. It's what makes them happy, and don't you want to see your friends happy, Weiss?" Ruby smiled.
Weiss looked at Ruby, then at Blake and Yang, who tried to look hopeful.
She sighed and said. "Okay, okay. I can be okay with this, but if anyone gives you trouble for this, don't say I didn't warn you."
Blake and Ruby smiled, and Yang went to give the fox faunus a bear hug.
"Oh thank you so much Weiss. I'm so happy you're okay with us."
The snow fox was trying to break free, as the taller and stronger girl was crushing her.
"Uh, Yang; Weiss needs to breath you know." Blake stated.
Yang looked at the irritated snow fox and let go.
Yang scratched her head and smiled. "Sorry about that Weiss."
Weiss gathered herself up and said. "You better not try to do that again. I thought I was going to die from lack of oxygen."
Ruby laughed and said. "Trust me Weiss, you'll get used to it."
"You begged me to stop on the airship." Yang reminded.
"Oh be quiet sis, you go overboard on the hugs sometimes, and you know it." Ruby said.
"Sorry to interrupt here, but Weiss; I wanted to say thank you as well. I know you don't think that this is the smartest idea in the world, but we are happy with our choice. I'm just glad to know that a friend of mine can set aside their views on such a thing to support us." Blake smiled.
"Well, don't think much of it. I'm still not sure I a hundred percent agree with this, but if it makes you two happy, then I won't come in between that." Weiss stated.
The three were happy that Weiss didn't end up completely disagreeing with this.
"So what should we do now?" Yang inquired.
"Back to the usual?" Blake suggested.
The four nodded and went back to their original activities.
I know this wasn't the best way for Weiss to react to that, but I just wanted to get that out of the way.
To NotUrAverage- You'll learn more about Lyra and Weiss' life in the Burrow soon. I want to have some chapters in between of the flashbacks, just to have some variety here and there.
To the guest on chapter 37- I'm okay with the way the characters are so far, since I did mention in earlier chapters that I'm not the best when it comes to character personalities, and dialogue. So far with how I've written the story, I try to say what I would say to people in certain conversations. If it doesn't seem too realistic, then I'm okay with that.
I hoped you all enjoyed today's chapter. Remember, reviews are welcomed, but not required. See you all in chapter 39.
