Yang POV
I had Blake around my arm, squeezing her to myself tightly. It felt amazing doing this with her when she was this embarrassed. I actually have never seen her like this before.
When I saw them kiss, I dropped my jaw. Of course only inside so Weiss wouldn't see it. I imagined myself in her place but then I felt bad. I shouldn't think of Blake like that when she has someone else she loves and they already started to form a relationship. I don't intend to ruin that, but sometimes it's hard to resist her. Maybe the best thing to do would be to tell her how I feel. She would only reject me but at least I would get that off of my shoulder. At least she would know about it.
But then there is that collar thing. I haven't made sure yet how she feels about that. It didn't seem that it troubles her as she was already in Weiss' mouth even though I thought she would be still sleeping. Or they would just talk… not making out already. I really hope they didn't plan anything more in this room. This is a sacred team room so if they dare to turn it into a love hotel I'm going on a rampage.
"Are you okay there?" I held her tight so I needed to make sure she was okay in my grip. She looked flushed and I actually caught a glimpse of her looking at my body. I shouldn't enjoy this. I don't want to stand in between them but sometimes my heart thinks otherwise.
"Mhmm…" She hummed me and I saw her looking back at Weiss who I saw from the corner of my eyes. Then Blake started to shake her head. I think Weiss saw the same thing as I did.
I released my hold on her a bit so now I hold her softly. I need a distraction, I can't get these thoughts out of my mind.
"You don't mind…?" I didn't finish when I saw her look up at me with a face that showed she has no idea what I'm talking about. "...This shit." I finished as I pulled a bit on her collar to show what I referred to with that beautiful word.
"Oh… Well, this 'shit' is keeping me at bay if I try to attack someone I shouldn't." She said with a huge smile but I couldn't give her the same. I was sure it wouldn't be the same anyway. She is smiling but behind all of that I know there is sadness. Or maybe hate… towards herself. Watching her this whole time since she started acting weird, I feel like she doesn't look at herself the way she deserves it.
She may have done horrible things in the past but that doesn't mean you have to judge her from those actions. Those choices of her surely stay as being a part of her but that's not all. And I have a feeling she sees that little fragment as a whole and it's hard for her to forgive herself for all this. She should see the whole picture, not just that.
"I'm seriously going to give you two a vocabulary books for christmas." Weiss said as she walked close to us and I automatically let go of Blake. I felt like I didn't have the right to hold her like that.
"Thank you Weiss. At least you have intentions of giving us something. Even if it's lame as fuck." I said jokingly, elbowing Blake and I saw that smirk on her face which made me laugh. She rested her head on my shoulder as she laughed uncontrollably. It made me feel a bit weird at first but then I managed to ignore that feeling.
"Laugh at it as you like. You won't be able to impress anyone with this manner of speaking." She said with her arms crossed. I didn't feel Blake's head anymore.
"I would learn it to impress you." She said with a whole hearted smile. Now that was the one that I was missing from the smile she gave me. This was a true one. And the face she made squeezed my heart even though she didn't direct that to me. I could see clearly how red Weiss just became. It wasn't hard to notice it on her white skin.
It looked like she wanted to say something to that but then nothing came out. She looked at me instead and for some reason her whole expression turned into dread. Why is she looking at me like that?
"Y-Yang? Why are your eyes red?" She asked me cautiously as the whole atmosphere of the room just changed straight away. Wait, what about my eyes? Why would it be red? There is no threat here. But I feel like my heart is about to burst out. Am I angry?
I saw as Blake turned my way and her ears just flattened on her head as she backed away from me. I kept looking at Weiss but I could see that Blake turned back and forth between us.
"Hey! Do you feel someone coming?" Blake asked me and I looked at her. I only wished that I could control my feelings. I hate it when my eyes tell them everything. I feel angriness that slashes through my heart. I feel like I will explode if I stay in this room.
"No. Just… Nevermind." I had no idea what to say so it wouldn't feel suspicious. I can't get out of this. This feeling that keeps tormenting me will eventually break out. How can Ruby deal with this so easily? Or how can she hide it so no one would notice it? But the most important… Why did I have to fall in love with this girl?
Blake POV
I don't know what came into Yang. She was joking and having fun just a second ago and then suddenly her eyes turn red which usually happens when there is an enemy. She was angry, but why? Did I say something that made this or was it something else? I thought she sensed someone with bad intentions coming to this place but it wasn't the case. I noticed that she kept looking at Weiss but what did she do? I need to speak to her about this because this definitely wasn't normal. I will catch up to her.
"Blake… Did you… feel that too?" I heard Weiss but when I saw her face, the only thing I read from it was fear. What the hell just happened? I ran to her and grabbed her shoulders.
"Hey! Hey! Are you okay?" I asked, examining her face. She suddenly hugged me which surprised me but I returned it. I always loved to wrap my arms around her petite figure. Although, there is no time for these thoughts now.
"Yang never looked at me like that…" She said quietly and I could feel her voice trembling. "It felt like… she was full of hate…" Why would she hate her? I really need to talk to her because what she just did with Weiss was unacceptable. She always protects her friends so why would she do that?
"Hey Weiss. I'm going to talk to her." I said reassuringly. I kissed her forehead and then left her there in that room. Seeing her act like this… It was like she saw someone dying. I noticed Yang's expression there but it didn't affect me at all. It was like she sent those negative feelings only to Weiss.
Where is she? I need to find her. I grabbed my scroll to call her and it started ringing so she didn't turn it off. I hope she has her scroll and answers it.
"Hey, Blake…" She answered the call in a voice I couldn't read. She is acting weird and I need to know what's up with her. I hope it's not because of this collar. The least I need is for everyone to feel sorry for me.
"Yang!? What the hell was that?" I asked angrily. Maybe I shouldn't talk to her like this because usually it ends up with an argument. Or a fight, if it gets worse. I stopped at the end of the corridor because it seemed like there was no one here.
"I don't know wh—"
"Don't give me that crap! Why were you angry at Weiss?" I interrupted her because I was impatient. I need answers and the 'I don't know' is not the one I'm looking for.
"I wasn't! It just turned red… Sometimes it's—"
"You know what you are saying doesn't make any sense. Your eyes never turn red just because it feels like it. You felt anger or something so—"
"Yeah I felt that okay!?" Whoaa… There is no need to shout… even though I'm doing the same but still. That was loud. "I felt angry because…!" She stopped suddenly and I could hear sobbing on the other side of the line.
"A-Are you crying?"
"No! Fuck you, Blake!" Wait, what? I heard a loud bang but she didn't end the call.
"What was that fo—"
"I'm sorry… I didn't mean it." Her voice was cracking and I heard her sigh. "I'm acting so childish…" She sniffed and I didn't know what to say.
"Where are you?"
"You don't want to see me now…"
"Yes I do… It's okay to cry, Yang. Even if you feel the strongest in the world…" I tried to comfort her so she would calm down and tell me where she was.
"I feel pretty weak right now, Blake. You would just make me feel weaker…" What does she mean by that? She is strong and I… the whole team, her friends would make her stronger. As she does the same with us too. Why would I make her weak?
"Why? Just tell me where you are. I want to see you." I heard a whimpering sound from the other side and I hope it's nothing serious that is going on with her. It just happened so suddenly and I have no idea what is wrong if she doesn't tell me.
"I'm… In the forest… near the house." She finally told me and I started rushing there immediately. It's better if we talk in person. I ran into JNPR's room without thinking. Lucky for me it wasn't locked and everyone was away so I could climb out of the window. I was sure that they were downstairs doing something and I didn't need their questions about how I feel or what I think about this collar on my neck.
I climbed down on the wall to the front garden. Then I heard a muffled voice coming from my scroll.
"Blake… you know that you haven't ended the call, right?" I got so scared that I jumped up. Why is it on speaker?
"Damn! I totally forgot!" I said, trying to grab my scroll out of my pocket. I turned off the speaker mode and pushed it close to my ear. "Are you still there?" I heard Yang laugh which made me smile. At least I made her happy.
"Yeah. You can be such an idiot sometimes… Are you escaping the house right now?"
"Yeah, I'm kinda in undercover mode. I'm surprised no one heard me as I accidently turned the speaker on so you were pretty loud." I ended with a laugh and Yang joined me with that.
"Hey Blake…"
"Yehh…?"
"...I'm waiting for you." For a second I felt different as Yang said that in a tone I never heard from her before.
"Y-Yeah, you better be!" I said, trying to keep my stuttering low. She ended the call after that. I really don't know what is going on with her. If she is trying to prepare for tomorrow's job then she does it horribly. If she wants to train with me then just ask me. I have a feeling this is more serious than that…
I arrived in the forest looking for her. Thinking it through, I would have preferred a more accurate description of her whereabouts. How should I find her in this huge ass forest? She couldn't be that far in. I thought about calling her again when I noticed her bright blonde hair that no one can miss. She was sitting close to a tree. Okay then, I will give that scare back.
I used my stealth skills that I mastered long ago and climbed up on a tree not far from the one she was leaning to. She sat there so peacefully that I actually almost gave up this stupid thing I was about to do but then I continued anyway. This would brighten up the mood at least.
So I continued on climbing up on the tree. As being a cat faunus, it wasn't hard to move freely on the branches. I jumped over to the one Yang was sitting close to. I found a branch right above her which would be the perfect spot to scare her to death. I was smirking but then I saw her look up at me which scared ME to death.
"I know you're there." She said this so casually which caused me to slip and I fell on my stomach right in front of her. If I would have a tail that would stand high in the air as I was lying there with my face in the ground. Woow, that's not how I planned.
I heard a soft laugh and I knew it was Yang as no one else was here. Her laugh is actually quite calming. I heard it so many times but this one was different. I looked up at her with a scratched face as some little branches cut it when I fell on them. Well, making her laugh is better than making her mad after I scared her so I guess this will do.
"Don't laugh at me being lame…" I squeezed the words out but I felt my whole face sting like crazy.
"Sorry. But I thought you would land on your feet!" She ended that with a hysterical laugh. I just pushed my face back into the ground. I felt so humiliated but I was laughing with her anyway.
Not long after I stopped to look back at her but she was still laughing with eyes closed and I could see tears in them. It might have been because of the laughing but I know she cried which I still want to know why. I sat up, hissing as something was cutting my stomach. I pulled up my shirt and noticed some big cuts on my stomach. Realizing this, it started to hurt. Yang stopped laughing as I couldn't hear her voice anymore.
I started to wipe the blood away with my finger but some of it already got dried on it. Then I noticed Yang as she reached out with a cloth and started wrapping my stomach up with it. Wait a minute… Where did she get that from?
I looked up and what I saw just made me die inside. Why would she do this…? I actually froze down and I couldn't look away. Seeing her only in a bra is not something I should be surprised about but she was so freaking close. I could see her cleavage and it made me gulp.
Then something just struck me and I came back to my senses, realizing that I was just staring at her. I jumped back, basically lying on my back as I was covering my eyes.
"I'm so sorry!" I shouted without giving her any context why I would apologize to her. I was shivering and prayed that I shouldn't do anything thoughtless. I shut my eyes hard so I wouldn't see her.
"Blake… You saw me in a bra before… why are you acting like this?" She asked like she totally forgot what my conditions are. I know I should be able to control it, but I never can. If Weiss would do this I would already lose my mind. But in the case of Yang… She doesn't need much either. I mean… if she removes more clothes.
"Y-Y-You know about my condition!" I was stuttering so hard. I grabbed her top from my stomach and handed it over to her with my eyes still closed. "J-Just take it." I waited but I still felt the fabric in my hand.
"Then maybe you should train so you wouldn't act weird when you see Weiss in a bra…" She said as she leaned on me, pushing me to the ground. I opened my eyes wide and I saw her face. Shit… What is wrong with Yang?
"N-No, thank you…" I said pushing myself up and her while holding her shoulders. I tried not looking down and keeping my cool. "That won't happen anytime soon…" I said, looking at the side.
"You haven't done it yet?" I snapped my head so I would look straight into her eyes.
"Did you really think we did!?" I screamed at her in disbelief. Why would she care about this anyway?
"I mean… yeah." I felt really awkward when we started to talk about this. Why are we talking about this out of all the things?
"N-No… W-We didn't…" I was scratching my arm in embarrassment. "B-But that's not relevant now. Why were you crying?" I said, standing up so I wouldn't be so close to her as she was still only in a lace bra.
"I told you I wasn't crying!" She looked away.
"Yeah I heard that. The thing you said after that was clear too." I said in an angry tone.
"That was only my frustration showing. Now can we drop this?" She stood up as well.
"No way! You lashed out on Weiss. I saw it! Whatever you did, it made her scared and I don't like that." I said sternly.
"Aren't you protective of her…?" She said, creeping her way closer to me. It made me act awkward again as she kept closing the distance. "Would you do the same for me…?" She touched my face which made me blush even though I didn't have any intention to do that.
"O-Of course I would…" My eyes tried to find the right spot to look at but Yang was so close that there wasn't any. She held my hand with her other arm and started moving it to the one spot I tried to avoid looking at. I was touching her breast at the moment but I felt like passing out. Now would be nice to get zapped.
"There is one thing that Weiss wouldn't say to you though…" I looked at her with scared eyes. Really, what is going on with her?
"I love you… Blake." Oh… Did she really just say that? Did I hear that right? I feel dizzy so I'm not sure.
My instinct kicked in as I grabbed her wrists and tossed her to the tree she was sitting close to minutes ago. I trapped her there and I could see on her face that she didn't expect this. I pushed my face close to her neck as I breathed on it. I didn't make contact with her skin as I went through it until I arrived close to her face. We were inches apart and I was the one who leaned in…
I pulled her close and hugged her. That was all I could give her. I felt as she hugged me back. I felt the feelings in it.
"I can't do this, Yang. I can't betray Weiss…" I heard that sniff again that I heard through the line. It made my heart hurt. I don't want to hurt her but the masked feeling I would give to her would just make it more painful to her. It wouldn't be true.
"I know… but I still… feel the same way…" She said through tears and I saw myself in her. The same situation I was in. Why can't people fall in love with the person that's meant for only them? It would really be the feeling that is said to be beautiful.
"It's okay… It will get better. There is really no need for you to love me. You deserve much better." I said, because I really felt that way. To be honest, Weiss deserves better too. I'm just too greedy… That's why I can't be angry at Yang for what she did. I do the exact same thing with my love interest.
"Oh Blake… Can you stop saying these fucked up things?" She said with a sad chuckle.
"Nah… these are facts." I pushed on.
"Yeah… But there is no truth behind them." I didn't say anything back to this. I kept hugging her and it felt like hours. I felt calm in her arms and I was sure she felt the same way. I was happy that I could at least give her that.
