"Oh, crap." A man tries to sit up, but immediately find himself restrained. Trying to piece together everything that happened yesterday, he reminds himself that Blake fell asleep on him and lays back down. After dealing with the White Fang member that knew Blake, the newly discovered Faunus broke down explaining her storied past; after learning that she was involved with Adam Taurus in most meanings, she had what was likely some form of breakdown. To help, he put on a movie, and the two of them eventually ended up passing out on the couch after Blake snuggled up to him. The man passed the storm both literally and figuratively by watching the movie, but it had picked back up again, as heavy rain batters the windows.

The problem with all of the above, barring the obvious need to help Bake deal with her issues, was that Weiss knew about none of it. In fact, it was a message– it was several messages that woke the man up. His attention had been away from his phone after he started at the training grounds, and he had promised to call Weiss that night. As he uses his Semblance to bring his scroll to him without waking up Blake, who was still holding him in her sleep, he checks the storm of messages. He grabs a pair of earbuds as well so he can listen to the voicemail.

Going chronologically, the first message was a text at around 7:00 asking, "So… what did you think? :)" in response to Weiss' sexy photoshoot. The man reckons that he was just leaving the training grounds, meaning Blake's paranoia prevented him from checking. An hourish later, another came asking, "Are you home?" At around 9:30, Weiss clearly started actually worrying. He had another text followed by a voice mail asking, "Where are you?" The next few were some variation of, "Are you okay?" "I can't reach Blake," "What's going on?" and, "Please talk to me."

The man tries to think of how to approach this whole situation. While Weiss probably already knew about Blake's Faunus secret, he suspects there was a good chance someone might sneak a peek at her phone who shouldn't. Taking a breath, he types, "I'm so sorry! I met one of Blake's old friends and learned about her cat. I need to talk to you about it asap."

The man tries and gets up from the couch without waking Blake. Assuming Weiss would call any second, he thinks moving to Blake's room might be best. As fate would have it, lightning struck outside the window.

"Ahh!" Blake shouts with a start, instantly shooting up to a seated position. Upon realizing she was in a safe apartment friend-cuddling someone, she calms down. Despite being reminded of her safety, she looks to the man, realizes she just shouted, and looks embarrassed. "O-oh… You're awake…"

Now free from Blake, the man sits up and scootches over to get more room on the couch. "Don't worry, I was already awake. I'm about to call Weiss and explain everything; she was texting all last night and I missed it."

Blake looks for her phone, then retrieves it from a nearby table. "Ah… Yes, me too." She looks rather somber for a second, recollecting yesterday. "She knows. Weiss knows about everything except… Don't mention I… That we… Adam and I–"

"–I'll keep that to myself, I promise. Are you okay?"

Blake rubs her hands together, trying to get meaning from the motion. "Thunder freaks me out. We had a lot of missions during storms, and the sound made me paranoid because it could give away my position. Yesterday didn't help." Another clap hits relatively close, making Blake jump.

"We can talk more after I fill Weiss in, okay?" Blake opens her mouth, but the man's scroll goes off as Weiss calls in. His roommate nods as he gets up and heads to the other room. Blake turns to the kitchen and starts preparing breakfast, playing some music both to quiet the storm and to calm her down some more.

"Where have you been!?" Weiss cries as the man answers his scroll. "My, I was convinced something bad happened to you two!"

"Something bad did happen. One of Blake's White Fang partners attacked us. We got away, but I got a bit hurt; I'm fine now, though. Blake… is dealing with it."

"So you do know now, right? About Blake's… bow?"

"And about… Adam." Blake seems to have skipped telling her about her full involvement with Adam. To be honest, he needs to actually clarify that; he only guessed they were romantic, and while signs pointed to yes, he feels Blake needed to actually deal with her remorse rather than bottle it up.

Weiss remains silent for a moment. "Are you okay? Is she okay?"

The man put a hand to his shoulder wound. "We had just finished training, so I was low on aura. I have a heroic new scar, but I'll live. Blake is unharmed, but this is hitting her hard; she kind of broke down after she saw I got hurt, and I'm sure having to reveal herself like that didn't help. It was also one of her old partners, and I could see Blake's heart break when she saw that."

"I'm so glad that you're both okay! I was so worried!" Weiss says, breathing a sigh of relief. "And I'm so glad you're there for her. I only wish I could leave and be there for her, but father would never allow it. Especially if it was for a Faunus… Ruby and Yang should be back in five days, and I'll be there a day after; until then, please look after her, okay?"

"Of course." Something pretty important strikes the man about last night. "One other thing: Blake had a breakdown and I tried to help as best I could. I ended up putting on a movie and she snuggled up to me for comfort; we ended up falling asleep on the couch and I woke up with her on top of me."

Weiss, not skipping a beat says, "And? Is that all?"

"Y-yes? We didn't get up to any funny business, I promise you."

"I believe you, Sweetie. You promised nothing would go on between you and her when I wasn't there, remember? Besides, you were just looking after her right? Of course I'm okay with that." Weiss pauses for a brief second, then puts on her flirty voice. "So… Speaking of funny business, what did you think?"

The man suddenly forgets most of last night in favor of what Weiss was referring to. Though he'll talk with Blake later, now was time to discuss Weiss' sexy photoshoot; in between all the commotion, he'd been too distracted to think about all of the photos Weiss took of herself in her underwear. Remembering not to drool, he says, "You looked gorgeous! That was such a lovely outfit. Blue looks great on you."

"Wait–" Weiss starts, confused at no mention her lewds.

"–And you look amazing with that black lace trim. Honestly, I can't believe you're so beautiful." If there ever was a time, now is a moment to shower Weiss with compliments; she shared with her boyfriend her body, and that was a nigh unbelievable thing for her to do. "I am so lucky to have you."

"Eeeee!" Weiss cries from the other line. "I was so nervous! I was convinced my camera man was going to come back in and see me!"

"You look perfect."

Clearly embarrassed to think her boyfriend wouldd disagree, Weiss asks, "S-so, nothing ug– unsightly?"

Of course someone like Weiss would be overly nervous about her body. She'd been taught to have perfection and nothing else, despite the fact that she was stunning.

"You're a work of art."

Weiss squees in glee at your compliment. "I-I've never done anything like that before! I thought you'd see my beauty mark or think I wasn't endowed enough…"

"Weiss. After all this time, you were worried I wouldn't think you were the most beautiful girl alive?" You find it crazy to think that Weiss would believe that you would leave her because her boobs weren't big enough by this point in the relationship.

"It's just, oh, you must know how it is! All my insecurities were brought out; my scar, my body, my skin… I couldn't stop myself from thinking about how people stare at Yang and not me."

"I won't deny Yang is attractive, but she… she dresses for people to look at; there's nothing wrong with that, but she appeals to the lowest common denominator." Thinking that might unintentionally come across as slut-shaming Yang, the man adds, "She even gets through to Blake!"

"What do you mean?"

"Blake, along with everyone else in the world, thinks Yang is attractive."

"But I thought she liked that Sun boy she met when she was away?"

The man starts to understand why Blake told him in the clearest English possible that she was bi. People like Weiss and her old-fashioned family probably thought of sexuality as a binary rather than the spectrum. "Blake is bisexual; she likes men and women. Plus, like, Yang is like, what every movie tells people hot looks like."

After a quick realization, Weiss says, "Yang does have a nice butt... And that makes sense– about Blake, I mean. I was confused when she was complimenting a girl when we were out once; I realize now she was probably more flirting." After another moment of silence, she sheepishly asks, "So, you really don't think petite is… disappointing?"

"Weiss, I'm certain that no man would ever be disappointed in," the man starts to whisper in case Blake overhears, "pictures of their girlfriend in her underwear." Returning to regular volume, he continues, "If they are, they deserve to be shot. You are gorgeous, and I won't hear otherwise."

"Ohhh, thank you, Sweetie! I can't wait to see you again!" The man hears a loud knock from Weiss' end of the line. Not speaking into her scroll, she says, "One moment!" Returning to you, she says, "I need to go. Please keep Blake from doing anything… not forward-thinking. I'm trusting you!"

"I'll see you soon, Weiss."

"I lo–" Weiss says, pausing.

"I love you too, Weiss."

"I love you!" Weiss says before abruptly hanging up. The man imagines her family interrupted her, but he left her satisfied with the last words. He can't wait to see her again, especially to tell her that he loves her in person.

With informing Weiss of the situation out of the way, now was the time to talk this over with Blake. As the man puts his scroll into his pocket, he tries and thinks of how best to approach everything.
