I don't have anything to actually say up here. Enjoy ;)

Yang:

The sky was bright blue, the trees and grass were rich with green, and the slight breeze made it feel like the perfect temperature. It seemed like a cruel joke to Yang how the whole world around her could look and feel so deceptively perfect around her as she sat in an isolated courtyard all by herself. She sat curled up on a bench just thinking to herself and trying not to cry too loudly. This little path surrounded by thick trees and bushes was the only spot Yang could think of to be left alone. She'd lost track of how long she'd stayed there. It must've been afternoon by now since the sun was starting to climb down from the sky. Yang likely missed all the rest of her classes after she fled from Sun, but she really couldn't care less about them at the moment.

'Blake is asexual,' Yang kept thinking to herself. 'Blake is fucking asexual. The universe lets me know this immediately after I decide I want to be with her. I could've learned this yesterday or any day after coming to Beacon, but no. I learn that I never had a shot with the love of my life and never will have a chance after I decide I love her.'

Yang buried her eyes deeper into her knees. She had thought earlier all she wanted was to be held in Blake's arms for the rest of time, but now she just wanted to pathetically wallow in her thoughts for the rest of time. All the plans she'd come up with were ruined. She knew in her gut she should've expected something like this would happen. There was never a good probability of Blake being a lesbian in the first place, but Yang had simply felt so sure last night. She had let hope take over and disaster ensued which was exactly why she'd been suppressing these feelings the entire time at Beacon.

'What the hell do I do now?' Yang asked herself. It was hard for to think straight as she kept shuddering in sorrow. "What the hell can I do? There's no way ever telling Blake about this is an option anymore. If she doesn't want a relationship with anyone then how the hell would whining about my feelings help anything? And even if I did tell her just to let her know, that may put guilt onto her. How am I helping anything if I just make her feel guilty for not loving me in return? That's not right for me to do. If she wants to be asexual, she has a right to be."

If Yang couldn't tell Blake she loved her then…'I'm going back to plan A,' Yang sighed. 'I have to keep this to myself and just hope I eventually get over her. Besides, the confirmation from that date with Sun was exactly what I'd wanted. Now that I know her sexuality for sure; I can move on…' Yang really wanted to believe that idea, but she felt in her gut there was no chance of her simply forgetting about these feelings. She had no other viable options though. It doesn't get much more black and white than telling Blake or not telling Blake.

"Yang!"

Yang brought her head up. Through her mess of blonde hair and watery eyes, she barely made out a girl dressed in black in red. 'Oh no,' Yang thought, 'Ruby's still going to expect to hear about my problem. I'm not going to be able to avoid it…especially now that she's found me like this.'

Ruby ran up to her sister, clearly distressed. "Where the heck have you been?" Ruby demanded. "You never showed up to lunch or Ooblek's class! We've been looking for nearly two hours now! What are you-"

Ruby suddenly realized Yang was crying. She immediately wanted to back up and restart with a much calmer tone. She had been insanely worried about her sister's disappearance, but that could wait until later. Ruby sat next to her crying sister and wrapped her arms around her. She was surprised how much Yang was trembling.

"Why are you crying, Yang?" Ruby asked, as soothingly as possible. "It's all right, I'm here for you sis!" Ruby rested her head onto Yang's shoulder, trying to get her to relax. Yang appreciated Ruby's effort, but when she tried to speak, she just broke down into more tears. Ruby noticed Yang's struggle and decided she'd need to take more of an initiative.

"Is this about the same problem you were talking about earlier today?" Ruby asked. Yang managed to nod in response. "Did you solve it today?" Ruby continued, knowing the likely answer. Yang was asking herself the same question, though. Yang had gotten the confirmation from Sun she'd wanted before, but in the process she'd created the new psychological ordeal of actually getting over Blake. 'I'm sitting here bawling,' Yang thought. 'That doesn't sound like a solved problem to me.'

Yang opened her mouth, and eventually managed to squeak, "No."

Ruby looked up at her sister. "Can you tell me what the problem is?" Ruby asked. "I really hate seeing you like this, and I want to help." Ruby was clearly trying not to pry too fiercely, but Yang could tell even her own skills of evasion weren't going to work anymore.

Yang sighed as she blinked her eyes clear of most of her tears and parted her hair from her face. Ruby released Yang from the hug as the blonde curled out of her ball and turned to face her sister on the bench. 'Well here goes everything,' Yang thought.

"Ruby, you already figured out that I'm gay, right?" Yang started, still trying to secure her voice from shaking. Ruby's eyes went wide.

"Oh gosh, Yang! I didn't mean anything by telling you not to look at those magazines!" Ruby said, feeling guilty. "I never meant to imply liking girls was wrong! It's completely normal! Don't you dare feel bad about that!" Ruby forced another hug upon Yang as she kept rambling about how normal Yang was. Yang couldn't help but start weakly laughing in response. She'd come to terms with being a lesbian so long ago that feeling abnormal about it sounded ridiculous to her.

Ruby slowly pulled away in confusion as Yang kept laughing. "That's not my problem, Ruby," Yang eventually managed to say. "I know it's completely normal - honest."

"Oh," Ruby replied, relieved yet still confused. "What's wrong then? Why'd you bring being a lesbian up?"

Yang sighed, "The issue is who I like."

"Oh," Ruby repeated, feeling awkward now. "Did she turn you down?"

Yang groaned and buried her head back into her hands. The thought of Blake outright declining her sounded like even worse of a situation. "No," Yang answered, "She didn't have to."

"What do you mean?" Ruby asked.

"I sort of…" Yang hesitated. "I kind of set her up on a date with someone so I could figure out from them if she was a lesbian or not…and…you know."

Ruby nodded, "She's straight then?"

Yang shook her head, "No, she's asexual."

Ruby looked puzzled, "Doesn't that just mean she doesn't feel any sexual attraction? I thought asexuals still pursued romantic relationships."

Yang shook her head, "She claimed to be asexual as a specific reason to turn my agent down. If she was open enough to say she was asexual, then why wouldn't she be open enough to say she still wanted romantic relationships with women?" Yang tried to hold herself together as her eyes started to open the flood gates. "It's no use thinking 'maybes'. The fact is she's never going to love me back, no matter what I do."

Ruby was clueless as to what to do now as Yang collapsed back into her sobbing. She thought she was pretty good at giving advice and encouraging her friends and family, but seeing Yang like this made her feel like complete rubbish.

"Why didn't you come and tell us this sooner? You've clearly been bearing this for a while now. As Weiss said, we need to stick together and be open to each other about our struggles," Ruby tried to think of some way to make Yang cheer up. "Look, why don't we go hang out with Weiss and Blake?"

Yang seemed to tremble even harder at the suggestion.

"C'mon, we should go work on all of the make-up work you have stacked up now. Then maybe the four of us can go see a movie or something. Blake mentioned to me there were lots of movies out and she'd be willing to see the 'Ultimate Hunters' movie again to find more inaccuracies in it. I read the first four books in the series and they were pretty good…so"

Somehow Yang seemed to grow even more distant.

Ruby sighed. "Come on, Yang. I think some time with your team would do you some good and-"

"It's Blake, Ruby! It's Blake!" Yang yelled as if she'd just released a nuke. "I'm in love with Blake!" Yang immediately condensed even further into a ball after releasing her secret. Ruby realized how horrible her suggestions were. Ruby let Yang weep in peace as she awkwardly sat beside her, letting the news sink in.

Ruby:

After messaging Weiss and Blake, informing them that she'd found Yang, Ruby had no choice but to remain in the courtyard with her suffering older sister. She didn't mind since she just pulled out some homework to work on; she wasn't going to leave Yang anyways though. Yang had always been there for her and Ruby wasn't about to fail at returning all of the favors.

Ruby wasn't sure how exactly she felt about this revelation. She never expected Yang to of kept hidden feelings like this. Her sister always seemed so in tune and in control of her emotions. She felt kind of guilty about not picking up on Yang's issue sooner, but then again keeping her feelings hidden seemed to be Yang's intention in the first place.

Now Ruby needed to decide how to proceed from here. 'I can't very well just make her come back to the team and get back to normal,' Ruby thought, "but I also can't simply allow her to keep mourning like this. The only solution seems to be to get her together with Blake…but if Blake really has no intention of any relationships then that plan won't go anywhere."

Ruby shook her head. She knew Blake didn't exactly have a constant frequency for her emotions or general attitude towards life, but she never thought of her as being completely repelled to love entirely. 'She reads tons of romance novels after all and there's a ton of 'romance' in that ninjas of love series she reads,' Ruby thought. 'I dare say Blake just claimed to be asexual to get Sun away from her on her date yesterday. Blake certainly seems the type to take more drastic measures if needed, especially if Sun was really prying for information. If Yang was in a better state of mind, maybe she'd realize that Blake could still be a lesbian…then again, if she actually used Sun as her 'agent' then maybe she hasn't been in a great state of mind recently. Sun isn't exactly my first pick for romantic espionage.'

Ruby looked over at Yang to her side. Yang had quit crying; she seemed to have fallen asleep. Ruby chuckled to herself. 'For Yang's sake, I'm placing my bets that Blake lied. There's a good chance Blake is a lesbian,' Ruby decided. 'I'm going to do everything in my power to set them up together. I'm going to…' Ruby grinned at how clever she was.

"I'm going to build a bumblebee," Ruby whispered to Yang as she soundly slept.

The secret's out! OH MY GOD. Is Ruby going to help? Is she just going to make it worse? Is it annoying that this was labelled as bumblebee and now Ruby is has a role in it? Is there going to be an eventual whiterose too since Ruby is doing stuff? Could Blake be a lesbian? Is the sky really blue? Well I know the answer to one of those questions since all of chapter 5 was about it, but regardless. Thanks again for all your support, really keeps my motivation fueled. See you for chapter 7 :)
