So much time in-between chapters. Too much time if you ask me but I can't really say much about it. I've just been in a very unmotivated mood about everything lately so that's why it took some time to get this done. Not because it's long or special but just because I'm apparently lazy. Also, midnight release because everyone likes a surprise every now and then. I hope you guys enjoy it!

"So how are you feeling, Blake?" I asked while she just sat still in her corner of the couch. I had just got done telling her parents, or at least her mother anyway, that me and her just got together as a couple, which meant outing her sexuality to them. I guess she really wanted to, but according to her mother, Blake didn't handle talking about things that personal so well.

Her face was still red but there was a trace of a smile appearing on it. "I'm feeling pretty good, I guess. Better than before."

"See? Coming out wasn't too bad. Your mom sounded just fine with it." My hand patting her on the back.

Blake smirked at me. "If that's the case then why not call your parents and tell them too?"

I immediately dropped eye contact. "That's a little different. After what just happened and what you told them an hour ago. It may be best to wait on it."

She took this opportunity to pounce on me. "No problem for me. I'm still here either way."

"Yea, you're definitely in a better mood." I said before I kissed her cheek.

"Nah, I'm completely uninterested right now, obviously." Blake tried to steal a kiss from me.

I pulled my head away a little to keep her from getting what she wanted as my attempt to be playful. It worked and made her try again only for me to dodge again. The second time though made me notice a bit of yellow hair at our window. A little more concentration and a face was revealed, complete with wide eyes.

"Uh, Blake.." I started. "I think we have a guest now."

Blake quickly turned her head and saw Yang looking right at us. She jumped up off of me and stared right back at the blonde girl. I didn't dare move anything aside from my eyes between the two. Yang's mouth slowly started forming into a smirk while Blake's face started turning bright red. Blake looked like she was about say something but closed her mouth when Yang disappeared from view.

"First my parents, now this it seems.." Blake whispered.

*THUNK THUNK THUNK*

The door shook under each sound. I finally sat up properly while Blake took her time getting to the door so she could let Yang in. She grabbed the door knob and visibly braced herself. The second the handle turned, Yang basically threw the door open into Blake. Yang ran into the middle of the living room and looked right at me.

Blake closed the door and started nursing her wrist after Yang's breach and clear. "Don't you start with anything, Yang."

"You guys already seemed to have started something already." Yang pointed out.

"We weren't doing anything, Yang." Blake argued.

Yang turned to Blake. "Bullshit! I saw that hand, Blake. You were about to start an expedition to some icy peaks."

Blake got a guilty look and tried looking away. "That, uh.. was.."

"Uh huh. No argument then? Good." Yang said through a laugh. Unfortunately she turned towards me.

I didn't know a good way to explain anything. "Why are you here Yang? Where's Ruby?"

"I let her go visit a friend so I could come over and check on you since I knew how bad things were tomorrow. Instead, I find you two getting way cozier than I would have expected at this point. What the hell happened?" Yang was obviously surprised it seemed.

"Well we came home and such like we told you, but I felt scared in my own room so Blake stayed with me for the night." I explained.

Yang's eyes flew wide again. "OH MY GOD! You guys.. did like.. stuff with each other?"

Blake immediately jumped back into the conversation. "We didn't do anything, Yang. I was just making sure she felt safe."

I went to back up her argument. "Yea. She even got into the bed with me when her pillow didn't help me."

Yang just stared at me trying to hold a straight face.

Blake put her face in her hand. "Weiss, you didn't help anything with that sentence."

"So did you guys do anything or not?" Yang asked.

"I kissed her and then we fell asleep." I said quickly.

The blonde girl didn't seem convinced. "I've had enough experience to know things just don't end at a kiss in a bed."

Blake's face turned serious. "We didn't do anything past that. After what she went through it wouldn't be right to do anything more. I just wanted to make her feel safe, not take advantage of her."

Even I could feel the strength from that sentence. Yang didn't seem convinced though so I chimed in one last time. "Besides Yang, I was the one that kissed her. She didn't plan anything."

Yang looked at us both and could see that we weren't lying to her. My policy didn't involve lying to people and it wouldn't start now. Especially with someone who was willing to put so much effort into making sure I was okay. She stopped trying to be a funny person and decided to listen to us properly. I gave her room to sit on the couch while Blake went over what happened last night so Yang was filled in. There was smirk at some parts but overall she took it all very seriously.

Although Blake tried to skip over the part where I called her parents for her to tell them about us being a couple. I happily supplied the story to Yang through Blake's attempts at shushing me. It was just the thing to lighten the mood of it all though as it ended with Yang laughing herself to death on the couch. Apparently the thought of her serious, book-reading friend being so freaked out over the her mother shouting at her on speaker-phone was just too good for her. Blake didn't want any part of it and spent most the story pouting at one end of the couch.

"Oh man, if only I was there to see that!" Yang said through her gasps for air.

Blake stood and started for the kitchen for something. "I'm glad you weren't. That would have been the last thing I needed after my mother chewing me out in front of my girlfriend."

Yang started calming down. "Girlfriend? So you guys are official now and such?"

My new girlfriend walked out of the kitchen with some water and handed it to Yang. "I thought it was obvious after what you saw."

"Well you never know these days. It could have been a secret lover situation, a friends-with-benefits type thing, or maybe even just my long-time friend potentially taking advantage of an emotionally unstable girl."

"I'm doing fine right now actually.." I pointed out.

Blake sat right next to me. "You sure? A lot of people handle this very differently."

I thought to myself for a second. "Nothing seems wrong right now. I'm not comfortable with.. you know.. intimate stuff right now but I don't feel so insecure as I did last night."

Blake gave me a once over and dropped the subject. Maybe she knew that it was still uncomfortable to talk about or maybe she wasn't ready to delve that deep into the emotional stuff. It was obvious how she wasn't used to it, and judging from what her mother said to her, it wasn't a new thing. Instead, she chose to just keep things away from it and chatted away with Yang and me. Which wasn't all that bad. We needed something normal to do and I'm sure Yang mostly just wanted to relax since she didn't have to watch Ruby today.

I don't blame Yang though. The girl who was supposedly the same age as me looked like she had an extra couple of years on us. Acting as a mother for a young girl would do it to anyone I bet, but I think she knows that herself. If anything, she looks a bit more responsible than most of our age group. I'll have to ask her about it someday because I feel like her advice is something I may need to hear.

The conversation eventually got to a point where things were winding down and Yang was starting to check her phone more than usual for updates about Ruby. While me and Blake started talking back about some simple college stuff Yang went off into the kitchen to supposedly call and check on the little jewel. Our conversation stopped and we started hearing the last bit of what she was saying on her way out of the kitchen.

"Eh, really? You sure? Okay, but I don't want any calls from her mother about something you did. I'll bring you some clothes in a little bit then but be good and remember your manners. I love you. Bye."

Yang hung up her phone and stuck it in her pocket. We just waited for what she was obviously about to start talking about. Something involving Ruby isn't usually ignored.

Yang clapped her hands together. "Well, Ruby is staying the night at her friend's house. I've got to bring her clothes and other stuff but besides that, I'm free to do whatever tonight."

"You must be excited then. You don't get many days to act like your age." Blake said.

The pseudo-mom smiled and looked like she got a lot of extra energy. "You know it. I was thinking that maybe we can go out on the town and get drinks or something. A club or something along those lines. I haven't done anything like that for awhile."

Blake thought for a second. "It sounds fun but I don't know. Weiss?"

Going out and potentially getting drunk wasn't exactly my thing. I'm open to the idea but I figured now wasn't the best time for it. "I don't really want to do something like that today. It just doesn't sound like a good idea right now for me."

"If that's the case then I should probably stay too. I'm not trying to be a bad friend or anything but I just think it's the best idea." Blake said.

Yang's faced dropped into disappointment. "Really? This is the first time this month that I've had a chance to do this."

I didn't like the feeling that Yang was putting off but I couldn't change my mind. "Sorry, Yang. Any other day I probably have agreed but not today."

She nodded a little. "I guess you're right. Oh well." Yang turned and went for the door. "Well, it's not like you guys have to come with me. I'm sure I can make a good time tonight for myself."

"I really am sorry, Yang." I said while she stepped out the door.

"No it's fine, Weiss. I'm a big girl. There's always something to do in this town, especially while I'm in it. Adios!"

And the door was shut. It felt like it was on the side of being slammed but I figured Yang wasn't that immature about it. I really did feel bad about it though. Everyone would need a fun night to relax with after being the image of responsibility almost daily. It just wasn't the right night for me though. Although Blake staying with me made the blow a little softer since I've got a companion to stand the test of guilt.

"Do you think we should have went with her?" I asked Blake.

A very light laugh came from her. "I think it's fine. She's been through worse than going out alone for a night."

I couldn't but trust Blake's words. "If you say so. I hope she'll be okay then."

"She will. Don't worry, Weiss. Lets just take it easy for the rest of the day. Maybe organize some of our stuff for university or something." Blake said.

I agreed and went to get some of the things that could help Blake's suggestion. Minutes later we started on our quest for readiness and the college crunch. My mind only wondering to think about how Yang was doing during the boring stuff. Although, the occasional breaks that happened when Blake got playful weren't so bad to deal with. Maybe staying in was the right decision.

I have a lot of these talking chapters don't I? Maybe I should change it up at some point. Either way I'm glad I managed to get it done though even if it was late by a month or so. My goal is still to keep it going but who knows? College life is coming for me also and I may not have the time for it. But anyways, reviews are always welcome and please remember to have fun!
