Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of The Dragon and her rook. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum, and Rooster Teeth do.
(Atlesian Cruiser/Flagship, Blizzard, inbound to Argus)
Skyler was awoken by the knocking on his door. He wanted to sleep before more banging, this time louder was outside his door.
Skyler groaned and walked to the door before typing in the code.
"Can't this…" He was greeted by the sight of a pajama-clad Yang as the usually flirty girl looked at her bare feet.
"I was having bad dreams." Skyler looked at the ground as the duo contemplated things.
Skyler looked at his bed and wondered if the thought of explaining that he and the blonde brawler were dating.
"I…" He looked at Yang's distressed face and moved to the side.
"Come in, I forgot about your night terrors." Yang sat on his bed and pulled her lanky legs to her.
"You know we're going to be married soon, right? Going to get hitched… don't want to get cold feet." She said while Skyler sat next to his fiancée before rolling his eyes.
"You have the WORST sense of humor, but I love you for it." Skyler looked at their bed before Yang sighed.
"You know we don't have to if you don't want…" Skyler looked at Yang who shook slightly.
Not even the heating of the ship kept things completely fine.
Skyler grabbed her gently and laid her down.
"You're having nightmares. I think feeling embarrassed about sleeping with my sexy fiancée is worth it." He joked as Yang's lilac eyes lit up.
It was then Skyler realized what he said as he brought his hands up to cover his mouth before Yang grinned at him.
Skyler said nothing and simply laid back into bed as he clapped and turned off the lights.
"Any chance you forget I said that?" Skyler felt Yang tightly wrap her arms around Skyler's frame before resting her head in the crook of his neck.
Skyler sighed and rested his hands on hers before allowing her to nuzzle into him.
Skyler started to close his eyes before realizing her golden blonde hair was covering most of his face.
Skyler looked at Yang who was already trying to sleep. He partly wondered if her night terrors were just a ploy so she could cuddle with him and then flirt with him later.
Skyler sighed and rolled his eyes before blowing a few strands away and closing his eyes.
Skyler loved Yang, her snark, her flirty attitude. Yang was brave and compassionate. He might not have liked her bluntness, but her fearlessness and compassion made him realize behind the quips and fists, Yang did truly enjoy her time around him.
She wouldn't have trusted him to help her if she didn't. Skyler looked at her arms.
Her cybernetic arm felt cold, just like the soles of her feet, mostly from walking the metallic floor of the ship, but Skyler didn't care. It was part of her, it wasn't alien, Skyler saw it as a sign that Yang was willing to fight through anything to stop Salem and save lives.
Skyler had been so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't notice Yang had pretty much entangled them together. Her arms wrapped tightly around his torso. Her legs were entangled with his.
He rolled his eyes and then closed them. he loved the blonde brawler and she loved him. They'd give the relic to General Ironwood and then they would end Salem.
He remembered they had to go through Cordo and sighed. The woman was going to be a pain in their ass. He didn't want to deal with her. Cordo was nothing but a problem that had to be solved and he wanted nothing to do when it came to the path to Atlas.
He wanted to be in Atlas. Skyler wanted to be married to the woman he was with; he wanted the war with Salem to be over with.
He swore that if he got to live through the end of the war. he was having a family, his own family only used him as a trophy, a sign of their wealth and standing.
He wouldn't be like that, he and Yang would have a good family, a better family… And he refused to let his parents be around his children.
He closed his eyes and allowed sleep to take him. he had no idea what Argus would be like. He would change things, they had to get the relic to Atlas.
He smiled at Yang. He'd tell the others they were getting married. Skyler didn't care if Qrow wanted to murder him, it was worth it to be with the girl he loved and cherished.
Both thoroughly enjoyed their slumber as Skyler turned and pulled Yang closer while resting his head against hers.
He turned back and allowed her head on his neck and the golden hair he loved to cover his face once more.
