Chapter 13
Yang woke to the feeling of two distinctly different arms wrapped around her. The first thought she had was that everything about it was so distinctly warm. As the days had grown short and the season delved further into winter, even the inferno tempest of a woman found herself susceptible to the chill when sleeping alone. It had been one of many things that pushed her to search more desperately for her soulmate. But waking to both Weiss and Blake with an arm thrown around her? It was downright toasty.
With a pleased sigh, Yang snuggled into the smaller Schnee before catching the sound. Something odd, repetitions, not wet, but not dry either. "Huh?" Yang groaned slightly, eyes flickering open to see Blake's head resting on the Schnee's other shoulder while bobbing slightly up and down. Yang noticed the soft purring the faunus made only a moment or two before she saw it.
Blake was licking softly at Weiss's collar bone in her sleep. Maybe the faunus was dreaming of some delightful ice cream, or maybe some smuttier snack. Either way, the faunus looked to be beyond at peace, downright enjoying herself as Weiss stretched slightly in her sleep, a soft mumble on her lips about how "flls gud."
It might not have been her most considerate moment, or most respectful to the faunus people. But Yang couldn't help herself. A hand just reached out on its own and scratched behind Blake's faunus ear. "Such a good sleepy kitten, so cute all drowsy and hungry." Her eyes flickered half-closed as she snuggled down into Weiss. "Cute kitty." She hummed pleased, her hand falling to Weiss's chest and almost immediately becoming the new target of Blake's idle exhausted laps. Yang giggled. "You already helped me clean all of Weiss off my fingers last night kitten."
Blake purred, taking the Blonde's finger into her mouth and sucking on it gently.
"Cute girl."
"Hmm? I… what's up?" Weiss woke slowly, her head still clouded with exhaustion and lingering sleep.
"Just our soulmate being an adorable kitten." Yang settled.
"Mhmm, she is pretty cute." Weiss agreed drowsily.
"Yeah." Yang felt her legs wrap around the one of Weiss's not already occupied by Blake's legs doing the same. "You were too; Cumming for us last night."
"Shut up." Weiss huffed, turning her attention over to the faunus not actively teasing her."
"You were." Yang reinforced. "You both were." She raised her hand again to scratch behind Blake's ear. "Thank you." She whispered softly. "I know it wasn't the easiest thing to… just accept me in like that. So, thank you."
Weiss tried to freeze or steel her heart, but with each successive word from the uncharacteristically vulnerable blonde, she just melted a little further. Unwilling to face Yang with the softness showing on her face, Weiss looked away as if disgusted with something she saw. "We meant everything we said last night… it may have been fast, but I am comfortable saying neither of us regret it in the slightest." The heiress paused a moment. "So… stop thanking us. Alright! You… had a shit way of doing it, but you were the one who brought the three of us together, so shut up, and let us thank you for once!" Weiss snorted her weakness away only to be startled by a small bite at her left shoulder.
"No being mean to our soulmate." Blake lectured as she released the playful bite.
Yang just laughed at the monochrome dorks.
"But… she is right. Thank you."
Weiss said nothing; at least, she said nothing up until the faunus poked her side hard enough to get her to join in. "I! Thank you! Ok? There! I said it!" Weiss tensed. "Happy now?"
"I mean, I was happy before, but that was delightful." Yang smirked, finding Blake's hand and interlacing their fingers. "You are both welcome."
"Good! Now that is all out of the way! What time is it? I am not interested in missing another day of class! Goodwitch is already going to kill us, I have no interest in being double dead." Weiss warned the other two.
"Oh god… class! H- how are we going to tell Ruby?" Yang hid her face into Weiss, not wanting to face the incoming reality she would most likely be the one who needed to tell the red hooded scythe master.
"You don't think maybe Penny would have told her already, do you? I mean, she might know? Didn't you tell her Yang was out in the woods on Monday?"
"I told her I saw Yang out in the woods, not that she was masturbating and made me cum." Weiss scoffed. "You were there when I said it."
"I mean, yeah, but, she is smart. I've seen the woman do math, she's a damn calculator." Blake shrugged hopeful and trying to cheer the distraught blonde.
"You have no idea." Weiss rolled her eyes, wondering if it was about time to tell the rest of the team about Penny, but she decided against it, at least until she could ask Penny's permission. "Even if she did know, she wouldn't tell Ruby. Penny… secrets can be rather important to her."
"Great." Yang groaned.
"You don't think she would take it well?" Blake offered, gently pushing back Yang's beautiful though somewhat unruly mane.
"It's Ruby, she is either gonna cry of happiness or sadness. Either way, we are going to have a near-death experience when she tries to wrap all three of us in one of her bear hugs." Weiss warned.
"At least we will all get our backs cracked?" Yang tried to find a bright side to it.
"I prefer to have my spinal cord intact rather than severed, thank you."
"It can't be that bad." Blake denied.
"No, no, it can. I ended up in one with Qrow and Tai, she was fifteen and still almost broke my arm." Yang agreed with Weiss.
"Well then, what do we do?"
"Charge up our aura and pray." Yang earned snickers from the other two.
"Sounds about right." Weiss rolled her eyes at the brevity of their best plans.
"But what if-" Blake lost total track of her train of thought as a knock came at the door.
"Hey guys."
"You have got to be fucking kidding me." Weiss cursed under her breath.
"It's Ruby- oh! And Penny is with me!"
"Salutations classmates!" The robot cheered.
"Uugh, We were just gonna go to Blake's and tell her Goodwitch was furious that you missed two days of class and that you'd have detention for the rest of the month if you didn't either come to class today or prove you were really sick."
"Didn't she say dying?"
"She did, but I don't need to say that." Ruby countered, still trying to lighten the blow and less than delighted with having to deliver such threats.
"Oh ok!" Penny perked.
"Umm, but Ilia and Velvet were the only ones there, and we needed to come here anyway. Goodwitch had… some choice words about Weiss skipping out on the second half of Monday's classes."
"We are here."
"Yeah, it's ok Ruby, we will be in class today." Blake assured.
"What about me!" Yang whispered to the other two, still trying to keep the secret for at least another moment longer.
"Ok, but is everything ok?" Ruby worried. "I… umm, Yang never came home last night, and I just… I am really kind of worried now."
Yang rolled her eyes and groaned. "It's all ok, I'm here too Ruby. I spent the night here so you and Penny could have some privacy." Yang justified it to herself by reasoning that it wasn't quite a lie, even if it felt lightyears from the truth.
"I- but? But aren't Weiss and Blake… umm, the type of people who would also need privacy?" Ruby simply wondered aloud.
The trio hiding in the heiress's bed looked to each other, simply waiting for one of them to break and explain it to the youngest member of their team. Unlike earlier, they couldn't quite hear what Penny said, just that she was speaking in a register just above a whisper behind the paper-thin sheet metal door with woodgrain decal finish.
"You think they what!" Ruby's already high pitched voice shrilled.
"Fuck." All three groaned into each other.
"I thought you said she wouldn't tell her."
"I said I thought! Not that I was confident or certain." Weiss curled into both her soulmates.
"No! They would tell me if-"
"Yeah, umm, so Rube, don't be mad, we weren't hiding it. We only just found out a day or two ago, but apparently, the three of us are soulmates… like… together, all three of us." Yang rushed to explain to her sister, not wanting Ruby to feel betrayed or like they had been lying to her.
"WHAAAT?!" Ruby yelled, blowing open the door with crescent rose and certainly getting them all into much more trouble than they already had been for shirking class. "PENNY JUST SAID YOU THREE MIGHT HAVE BEEN TRAINING WITHOUT ME!"
Both Blake and Yang leaned into the Schnee between them, doing their best to cover up their still more or less nude girlfriend from the night before. "Ohh, that's what she said?" Yang gave an anxious laugh and pulled covers over the three of them. The sight of Penny holding her head in her hands and shaking it disappointed with them being idiots.
"G! Get out you dolt!" Weiss yelled. "Don't just go blasting in the door while a throupple is cuddling! I'm not even wearing clothes!"
"You! You! You three? Really?" Ruby's eyes swelled to a size and puppy dog esque quality that momentarily quelled any of the throupple's urges to yell at her. Hands covered her mouth in either excitement or worry as the younger huntress's eyes watered.
"Yeah, we kind of are. I was gon-"
"Ahh!" Ruby screamed, tears breaking as she lept in the bed and grabbed all three of them in a tight enough hug to make the worry their spines would never recover nor return to anything even approaching a normal state.
"Can I please put my clothes back on? Before my bone structure is permanently deformed?" Weiss complained, deeply unsettled that she was the only one in the room without so much as a robe to cover herself up.
"Oh, yeah! Sorry, and umm, sorry about the door." Ruby winced and laughed it off as if the door could be easily fixed with some duct tape. "I, Umm… I'll just head out to class with Penny. Meet you three there?"
"Yeah, we'll see you there kiddo." Yang waved off her younger sister.
Penny took Ruby's arm in her's just after the other woman stepped out of the destroyed dorm door. She even seemed to give an apologetic wave, more than aware that the trio hadn't intended to tell Ruby at that exact moment, but before any of the huntresses cuddled up in the bed could spot it, they were gone.
"So, she knows now." Blake tried to cheer Yang.
"And I only need a whole hour session with a chiropractor."
"It actually went better than I had expected; door included." Yang smiled and shifted in the bed. With not a moment's hesitation, Yang leaned over and doled out one kiss per soulmate before hopping from the bed and stretching. Only after her hands landed back at her sides did Yang realize the other two had their eyes firmly planted on her chest, ogling her clear as day in a way she had never caught either of them doing before. "Eyes up here girls." Yang warned before the other two simply started drooling.
"Our soulmate is pretty."
"Very pretty."
"Incredibly pretty."
"And oh god, those boobs." Blake concluded for the both of them.
"Glad you two enjoy, but time for class. Playing and staring at the tiddy later."
End of Chapter 13
So! As has been the trend with this fic, I am posting one extra chapter ahead for free elsewhere, and then there are another 5 chapters beyond that that you can find on the web somewhere... hint hint, the links will be on my Tumblr: Hopefulbadgerjunara
Bonus note: Badger here! I am so fucking sorry! (huh, Deja Vu or something) Really, I'm so sorry. I have not been great lately, and I took some time for mental health.
On the bright side, I do have another project in the works that is soon to be ready to be public. I enjoy it a lot, it is another RWBY fic, and again, it is poly. There are some aspects some people might not be attracted to at first, but I really do think it is good and that people will like it. Thank you all for your support! It means the world to me.
