Chapter 15

Blake could barely remember how she got out of the tub that night. Just that the others had helped her get back to bed and that by the time she got there she felt as if on an entire alternate plain of bliss. Both Yang and Weiss cuddled close to her all night and well into the night. She hadn't ever felt so at home, not even in the white fang. Between the arms of her soulmates, there was nothing for which the faunus needed in the world. All that to say; the faunus slept incredibly well. Sure, the fact that she had been pushing herself so hard for two straight weeks probably took its place as a contributing factor, but the real reason Blake achieved such a truly satisfying sleep was the two women surrounding her.

The faunus didn't wake until after the other two of the trio seemed to already be wide awake. The bed was still delightfully warm, and the other two were still pressed up against her as she remembered from when she fell asleep; or at least what she thought she remembered? It was all still rather blurry from after she had climaxed. But now the other two were practically sitting up next to her, that and they seemed to be poking at her neck; a spot that seemed unusually sore.

"Do you think it is ok?"

"It seems to be healing pretty fast?"

"But the wound is still there?"

"She has to be ok. She didn't even seem hurt after last night."

"Well, she had a lot more to be preoccupied with. You felt it. It was…"

"Yeah." Fingers slid down either side of Blake's neck catching something she could have sworn wasn't there before.

"Ahh!" She yelped, shivers of conflicted pleasure running down her spine and pooling between her legs.

"Blake?"

"Hey, babe? You ok? How are the bites healing?"

"Bites?" Blake shivered.

"Yeah. Are you ok?" Yang worried, holding the back of her hand up to Blake's forehead.

"I- I'm fine. But… I mean, I know you two were leaving some nice love bites on my neck, but it isn't like anything broke the skin." Blake half tried to convince herself, half believed what she was saying.

"Umm, are you ok?" Weiss questioned, poking at the bite.

Blake whimpered, a hand shooting up to her neck where the sensitive and sore spot had been bitten. "I! I'm fine!" Blake trembled, her hand going to rub at her neck, but stopping as she felt the swollen outline of Weiss's teeth.

"Don't you remember?"

"No!" Blake's eyes snapped open wide.

"Ok, well, you… you kinda came really hard as we were meaning to just give you some love bites… and…" Yang trailed off as she saw the faunus going beyond pale.

"You bit me?" Blake's other hand jumped to the other side of her neck. "You- you both bit me! And… not just a normal bite! It was-"

"Hey, we are sorry." "We really didn't mean to." "Are you ok?" Yang and Weiss traded off.

"I!"

"We wondered if we should bandage it up last night, but your aura already seemed to be healing it." Yang tried to comfort.

"My- aura…" Blake gulped, only just beginning to process what had happened and part of why she had been so zoned out after her climax the previous night.

"Yeah, there's no way a bite like this would heal so fast without that."

"Yup! I! Umm! Of course not!" Blake covered either bite with her hands. "P- perfectly normal, just used my aura to heal it through the night. Nothing to see here." She whimpered, pulling a blanket over her neck to hide the marks.

"You ok?" Yang wondered.

"Yeah what's up?"

"Up! Up? Nothing is up! I! Umm! It's just really chilly in here! Super cold, need to bundle up to stay warm! And! And! And I'm super tired! And hungry!" Blake rushed. "I! You two know what would be great! I! I would love you both forever if you ran to go grab me some food from the cafeteria and let me sleep in just a little bit longer."

"Huh?"

"You sure?"

"No more morning cuddles?"

"I! I didn't say no more morning cuddles, I am just hungry and need more sleep! You! You two really did a number on me. A faunus has got to sleep after being given an orgasm like that! You know?" Blake and her tomato complexion scrambled for excuses.

"Ok, well I can go, you two just wait in bed and I will bring back breakfast, ok?" Yang offered.

"No! No! You have to give me a minute alone! To! To umm! To stretch my legs, really get that last good ten minutes of snooze, you know?"

Weiss and Yang shrugged. A good stretch and a snooze in a warm bed was a delightful thing and something their soulmate shouldn't be deprived of. "Ok, if you are sure." Weiss allowed.

"Yup! I'm sure! One hundred percent sure! Really really sure! Thanks you too! Have fun going to get breakfast! Love you two!" Blake nearly pushed the other two not just out of bed but out of the room entirely only to pop up and begin pacing once they had gone and the room was empty. "Oh, fuck, fuck, what did they do?!" The faunus worried out loud, pacing faster and faster until she was certain that her soulmates would have been far enough that they wouldn't see her sneak out and back to her room. She felt guilty for lying to her partners… incredibly guilty, but she had no other idea what to do. Anxiously, she rubbed her neck. At least it wasn't as sensitive when she touched it, just sore.

The faunus's feet rushed under her, carrying her faster back to her room as she looked over her shoulder. Her mind raced through ideas as to what she could do. It wasn't like her body hadn't already begun healing, like it hadn't already set in; like her body hadn't taken perfectly to both of her mates' bites. She shivered at the thought.

Without a thought to what might be on the other side, and too caught up in her own head to hear the moans behind the door. Bursting back into her room, Blake nearly fell back out of the room when assaulted by the sight of a bunny faunus sitting directly over the chameleon faunus's face.

"Yes! Again! I'm cu- B! Blake!" Velvet toppled over and off of Ilia's face.

"Huh? I- why did you- Blake!" Ilia rushed to throw a blanket over her nude girlfriend.

"H- hey guys. I am sorry. I! Umm uugh…" Blake looked around the room worriedly.

"Blake?" Ilia questioned worriedly as she spotted how distraught her friend looked.

"I! I! Need a turtle neck!"

"Blake? What's going on?" Velvet covered herself up more with the blanket Ilia had given her.

"Why a turtle neck."

"I! Ahh!" Blake slammed her fists down to her sides stressed and overwhelmed.

"Blake!" Both of the fellow faunuses cried out the moment they saw even just one of the markings!

"I know!" Blake turned and hissed at the others, inadvertently revealing the other marking as well.

Ilia gasped, blown away that the woman had let both mates mark her so fast. Velvet however appeared almost entranced. The bunny faunus wrapped the blanket tighter around herself, wearing it as a cloak as she slipped off of the bed and approached the newly marked woman. "H- how does it feel?" She questioned in dazed wonder.

"I! It's a marking! It's sore!" Blake's ears drooped with embarrassment.

"No, no, you know what I mean. H- how did it feel when they… how does it feel when they touch it now?" Her hand raised to the right side of Blake's neck. Too caught up in the sight and wonder of it all, Ilia ignored any and all personal boundaries as she went ahead and touched the healing mark. "Did it hurt? How good does it feel now?

Blake's head snapped to the side the moment the other faunus touched the marking. Her feet dashed herself back and away from the foreign woman's touch at such a tender spot and Blake hissed angrily, bearing her teeth defensively. "No!" She ordered.

"S- sorry!" Velvet backed down, revealing her open hand in a sign of innocence. "I just- it's a marking…" She gawked.

"You think I don't know that!" Blake covered her neck and the bites with either hand shameful.

"I just didn't know you three were that close." Ilia lingered in the initial processing of what she had seen.

"We aren't! I! Well! We aren't not close… but… but this is! It is!" Blake grew more and more distraught, all too aware she was on a ticking clock to get back to Weiss's room before the others returned with food.

"Well, why would they ever if you weren't entirely sure?" Velvet reeled, backing up and falling into the bed behind her. "It's not like an engagement ring that can just be returned if something changes."

"They are not faunuses!" Ilia grew a look of mild horror. "Your soulmates didn't know."

"Of course they didn't know!" Blake yelled, incredibly frazzled.

"Oh my god." Velvet's jaw gaped.

"What do I do! What do I do! What do I do?" Urgency rose in the faunus's distraught voice.

"You need to find a way to undo it. There has to be a way. It is still healing, so it's clearly not completely set. I can maybe call someone from back in the white fang, if anyone would know how to sto-"

"No!" Blake yelled, her teeth being bore in a growl as hands rose to protectively cover her new markings. "No getting rid of them!" She insisted demandingly. "These marks are from my mates!"

"W- what are you saying?" Ilia questioned, more out of surprise than the jealousy it would have been from months earlier. "Are you saying you want to keep them?"

"That you want…" Velvet added.

"I! I! I mean! I… I do love them… they are my soulmates… but.." Blake whimpered, having a hard time coming to terms with what she had clearly already accepted on a more primal level. Yang and Weiss were not just her soulmates not, but her true mates; and she wanted to be theirs forever.
