Thanks go to the random unnamed guest that posted the review for the idea.
Ruby, Yang, and Weiss were heading back to their dorm to prepare for their break. Joan and Pyrrha, having nothing else to do, were walking with them.
An ecstatic Ruby ran ahead of the cluster of friends shouting in happiness. The others just laughed and shook their heads at her antics. While Ruby did this, the others were discussing their plans for the break.
"Rubes and I are going home to Patch," Yang started, slinging an arm around Weiss and pulling her into her. "Aaaaand we're gonna be bringing Weiss-cream here with us!"
Weiss struggled in Yang's iron grip. "Let me go you brute!" Yang let her go, only to plant a big kiss on Weiss's cheek, making the heiress turn as red as Pyrrha's hair.
Said person, was staring at partner with narrowed eyes. Pyrrha's partner, Joan, was staring at the ground with thoughtful expression. Concerned for her partner, Pyrrha gave Joan a nudge, startling the blonde from her thoughts.
"Penny for your thoughts?" Pyrrha asked. Joan shrugged weakly before sighing.
"I… I want to ask Blake if she wants to go back to my home with me. I can't bring myself to it; I'm too nervous."
Pyrrha was surprised. Joan was rarely this serious about anything. The spartan rubbed her chin, thinking hard.
"Well… why not just ask her?" Joan looked at her partner in shock.
"D'you think that'll work?" Joan asked, insecure. Pyrrha just looked at her, making Joan blush and look down.
"The only way to know is if you do it. So go ask." Pyrrha gave Joan a gentle shove and shooed her away.
As Joan walked away, Pyrrha turned to find the rest of the group staring at her.
"What?" Pyrrha asked, clearly confused. The others smirked.
"What was that about?" Yang asked. Pyrrha shrugged.
"Joan wants to ask Blake about going home with her, so I told her to go ask."
The others shared a look. Before they could even say anything, Pyrrha interrupted them.
"You are not going spy on Joan, and that is final."
"Aw."
Line break!
Blake sat at her preferred table in the library, obviously reading a book. Because she was so engrossed in her book, Blake never noticed her girlfriend sitting down across from her.
Blake was made aware when she was tapped on the shoulder. Blake looked up from her book and jumped in shock upon seeing Joan sitting directly next to her.
"Did I scare you?" Joan asked. Blake simply nodded. Joan smiled in apology.
"What do you need?" Blake asked. Joan looked down and scratched the back of her neck, something she only does when nervous.
"Are you doing anything for the break?" Blake shook her head. "Okay. Would you want to…?" Joan mumbled, cutting herself off at the end of her question.
"Want to what, Joan?"
"Go home with me for the break?" Joan asked with a hopeful expression on her face. Blake blinked in shock; that wasn't what she was expecting. Joan's expression fell upon seeing Blake's shocked face.
"If you don't want to, that's fine. It's just-" Blake grabbed Joan's face and kissed her so she'd stop talking. Joan blushed a bright red at her girlfriend's actions. Blake grinned.
"If you'd let me answer before rambling, I wouldn't need to do that. Of course, that doesn't mean I'm gonna stop you from rambling," Blake said with a smirk. "I'd love to go with you for the break. I need to go pack first, so give me around ten minutes."
Joan nodded and gave a brilliant grin.
Meanwhile….
"That was so adorable!" Yang squealed. Ruby, on the other hand, was nervous.
"Yaaaang! Pyrrha's gonna be mad at us! She told us not to spy on them!' Yang waved her concerns off.
"Angry, is an understatement," a voice stated behind the two sisters. Yang and Ruby spun around and came face to face with an angry Pyrrha.
"It was Yang's idea!" Ruby shouted and tried using her semblance to get away, only for Pyrrha to reach out and grab her by the hood of her cape.
"I don't care whose idea it was. You're both guilty, and in big trouble." The sister looked at each other and gulped.
Massive Lien Brek to Joan and Blake arriving at Joan's hometown!
"This place is beautiful!" Blake exclaimed. Joan gave a small grin.
"It sure is. Now c'mon! You can sightsee later!" Joan said, grabbing Blake's hand and pulling her towards a rather large house near the center of the town.
When the duo arrived at the door, rather and politely ring the doorbell or knock, Joan reached up and banged on the door.
"Open up morons!" she shouted. As soon as she said that, the door was flung open to reveal an older version of Joan.
"JOAN!" Joan's mother shouted in joy, before grabbing her daughter and pulling her into a bear hug. The blonde huntress returned the bear hug with delight.
Joan's mother let go of her daughter and grabbed Joan and Blake's hands and jerked them into the house. "ELI! OUR DAUGHTER IS HOME!" she screamed into the manor.
The group of women had gotten as far as the doorway to the dining room before eight sets of thundering footsteps echoed throughout the house. Joan looked at Blake and gave her an apologetic smile. Blake frowned in confusion.
Before Blake could ask about Joan's wordless apology, a tall, brown-haired man appeared in the door, with 4 smaller versions of himself behind him. The tall man, whom Blake assumed was Eli, Joan's father, bounded over and pulled Joan into another bear hug.
"Ack! No more! No more bear hugs!" Joan shouted as her father let go of her and she stumbled a little, Blake being the only reason she stayed standing up.
Said cat Faunus could only stare in shock at the group that is Joan's brothers. Her seven brothers, at that.
Joan frowned at seeing Blake slowly be overwhelmed by the noise her dad and brothers were making and sheer shock at seeing her brothers. "EVERYBODY SHUT UP!" Joan yelled. The eight noise-makers went silent. Joan pointed towards the table. "Sit down. Talk one at a time," she commanded.
Eli shook his head with a grin as he sat down. "So much like your mother."
With the environment now controlled, Joan decided to say her piece. She walked over and stood behind Blake's chair and put her arms around Blake's shoulders.
"Everyone, this is Blake." Blake waved. "She's my girlfriend."
Everything was silent for a few seconds until eight chairs hit the ground at the same time. Blake found herself the target of eight suspicious stares. Before anybody could say anything, Joan's mother grabbed Eli by the ear.
"We need to talk. Boys!" Joan's brothers turned to their mother. "Take the grocery list and shopping." The group of seven filed out of the dining room and out the door. Joan's mother faced her husband and pulled him out of the room.
"Enjoy the rest of the day girls! I'm going to have a chat with my husband," she said over her shoulder as she walked out.
Joan and Blake looked at each other for a minute or two before Joan busted out laughing. Wiping a tear from her eye, Joan grabbed Blake's hand and started dragging her girlfriend towards the living room.
"I'm gonna go ahead and apologize for that, but we both knew that was going to happen. Now c'mon! Let's go watch TV!"
Fin.
Until next time…. -Dys
