Another chapter, another day. Maybe I'm finally coming out of my bad mood now. Eh, it doesn't matter though. I'm just glad you guys get more to read. I don't like having unfinished stories myself.

"Goddamnit! The one time without Ruby and I get stuck by myself." My mind is raging loudly on the inside but there is no indication on my face of my annoyance. Not that there is anyone with me to notice that kind of thing. Driving back to my house alone doesn't exactly instill a fun feeling in me. All I needed were clothes for Ruby and then I was done with what was needed for the day. I could go back to Blake's but it felt like I would be just butting in on their moments. It's not like I've been playing single mom over here.

The drive welcomes me back while I yank the keys out of the ignition and walk to the front door. Usually it's Ruby who makes it here before me, still chock full of energy while I'm either slumping from exhaustion or carrying too much to walk more than a steady pace. Surprisingly, the door opens without trouble which means I must have forgotten to lock it again. I need to write a note about that or something that I see every time I walk out of the house. No time for that now. Ruby needs her stuff before nightfall or else I'll end up looking like a lazy parent to that girl's mother.

Ruby's room had a bit too much brightness to it in my opinion. I didn't mind flowery things on some stuff, but just because of her last name Ruby has acquired a large amount of rose themed things. Most of which was red. It almost hurt my eyes when I hit the light switch. She left a lot of things out on the floor that she knows she needs to be put up but I guess now isn't the time to remind her. I just need to grab some clothes and leave. Maybe I should mess with her and put her underwear on top of the clothes. In fact that's exactly what I'm going to do.

The sun is starting to getting low it felt. Not too late then, hopefully. Ruby better give me a good hug for this because I need one from her. Maybe I can absorb some of her positive energy for the rest of the night.

It felt like it was possible when I pulled up and saw Ruby running around her friend's yard trying to catch the brown haired girl. I've only seen her a couple of times before. I wasn't a big fan of her mother so I would usually just drop her off and leave without getting into one of those parent talks. Ruby saw me getting out of the truck and quickly ran over, abandoning her quest to catch the other girl. I reached over and grabbed the stack of clothes she requested making sure that nothing fell to the ground and got covered in dirt.

"Here you go Ruby. Fresh clothes for your little sleep-over." I bent a little and handed them to her.

"Thanks, Yang. I really needed them." Ruby happily took them from me.

I heard a little giggle next to me. It was Ruby's little friend. "Nice underwear, Ruby. They've got little roses everywhere."

Ruby finally noticed them. "Yang! Why did you put those on top?" Her face getting a very embarrassed look.

I laughed to myself. "Because I wanted to show off how cute they were." As if they real answer wasn't obvious to her.

Ruby hung her head from my comment. "Ugh, I'm going to go and put them in the house then.."

"Uh uh uh." I called. "Where's my goodnight hug?"

Ruby looked at her still giggling friend and sighed. "Fine."

She walked up to me and I immediately wrapped her up. "That's my girl. You be good over here young lady. You remember what I said."

"MPHKAY!" The girl replied while still trapped.

I let her go and stood. "Good. I'm heading off then. I love you, Ruby."

She started on her way to her friend's house. "I love you too, Sis."

I jumped back into my truck and gave one last wave through the windshield and started it up. "I know you do, Ruby. Hopefully nothing can change that." I shifted into drive and started off on my own for the night. There weren't any plans for me so I was in the dark about what to do. The best thing would be to just go home and relax and watch what I want on the television or something. "Yea that sounds good. Maybe that."

Then the turn that I needed to take started coming up on my left. I thought about home and my relaxing but boring evening coming up. My blinker was on for it but I ended up driving right passed it. I turned the blinker off and kept driving down the road into town.

I don't even know why I came to this place. Some stupid bar with nothing but strangers drinking their lives away or one of many other problems they may have. I didn't even really want to drink much. One finished glass was all there was in front of me and no matter how many times the bar tender asked I wouldn't order another. My only way home was my truck and there's no point in getting a hangover for no reason.

It mostly just ended with me looking around and mentally judging people. No one seemed all that bad and I couldn't just trust impressions made from just looks but maybe it was just part of my motherly instincts. That finished fast because no one new was walking in the door. The late time of night probably helped with that one. "I probably should have left by now." My brain thought to itself. "You're right." Now I'm talking to myself apparently. Maybe I should leave now before that gets worse. But before I could get up, some random guy that was sitting in some booth by himself sat himself down next to me.

Now I was confused. "Yes?"

His eyes looked a little nervous for a second. "I noticed that you had been sitting here for awhile with that finished drink. I was wondering if you would like me to buy you one."

So it was this game then. "No it's fine. I just didn't want to drink too much tonight. I'm by myself and such."

"That's no problem. I haven't really drank much myself and I could offer my driving services." He suggested.

I gave him a once over and decided he wasn't so bad. If anything I could get some fun before the night was over. "I guess it's within reason for one more drink. I don't want to be hungover tomorrow morning."

He nodded at that. "You have a job to get to?"

"Nah, I've just got to pick my sister up in the morning. She's at a sleep-over with her friend." I casually mentioned.

"Why not just have someone else get her? Like her parents." He said.

I didn't think much about my next sentence. "If only it was that easy. No parent's involved. I'm technically a single mother by most standards, heh."

He paused a second. "Well that's interesting. If you don't mind, I'm going to head to the restroom right quick."

He got up and I didn't bother looking at where he went. I counted three seconds and listened for the front door bell. *Ding* And he's gone. No chance for fun tonight it seemed. It was a shame for him because I was starting to get into the mindset for a quick one-night-stand. But now I was stuck with that mindset and no more takers came up to me. I should have had him at least buy me that extra drink so I could wallow a bit more in my annoyed thoughts.

No more of that though as I needed to head home anyway. It was late and Ruby was going to need an awake Yang to pick her up. The thought of home wasn't feeling right though. I guess I could stop by Blake's one last time to see if they are still up to some company. Maybe I could crash on their couch so I wouldn't have to go and sleep in an empty house. They would understand, plus you couldn't have a more secure apartment than one with me in it.

*Knock Knock*

Nothing happened with their door. It felt odd to me since Blake was always pretty reliable about getting the door. But then again, she didn't have a girlfriend living with her as a distraction. I already had driven here so I wasn't going to go home by this point. A test of the door knob showed that they were too distracted to lock it so I silently let myself in.

If they were still in the living-room then they would just see me and things would be okay. Although, if they were there the door would have been answered and I wouldn't have to worry about it. My thoughts were a little spot-on with the living-room being empty. Lights were out and Blake's door was wide open which probably meant that she wasn't in there. No one was in the kitchen which left only one possibility. Curiosity got to me and made me go check Weiss's door. There wasn't a lock on it so I did a quick peek in.

There they both were just all curled up with one another. Innocent smiles while they both slept silently. Blake was taking the job of being a security blanket and wrapping her arms around Weiss while their legs got tangled together. It was a pretty adorable sight but I couldn't help get a little pang in my chest from it. I've spent so much time taking care of Ruby that I haven't had chance to really find anyone. It's not a big deal I'm sure.

I closed their door before they could wake up and see a creep watching them. The couch invited me over to sit on it and I obliged. Sleep seemed to be my only option since the TV might wake the couple up. There probably wasn't anything on anyway so I just laid down and watched the ceiling. It wasn't very exciting. I really wished I could have gotten that one-night-stand from the guy at the bar, but no, he was just an asshole to me now. It's not like being a parent makes me bad at that sort of thing. He would have left satisfied and I would have been left satisfied. Nothing wrong in that idea.

My hand subconsciously went low and I had to stop it. "Great, now I've got that on the mind." I wiggled a little bit and started seriously considering just letting my hand do what it wants. It has been awhile since I've done that. Another surge of that temptation traveled up to my mind. "God damn. They're asleep right? Maybe just a little." My hand traveled down again and quietly unbuttoned my pants. I didn't take them off but just enough so my hand could slip in to get a feel of my situation.

That was a mistake on my part. It brushed a sensitive spot and my hips bucked a little. "Oh man..." I groaned and my hand did it again. After that, I couldn't stop myself. I wanted to feel guilty about it but it had been so long since I've had any real fun that it just kind of started itself. "Please.. come on.." There wasn't a plan in my head to have this last long though. Not even five minutes later and I already let out a final moan while my legs tried to push me off the couch. "God yes.."

It felt good... god it felt so good to get it out, but it didn't satisfy me. It didn't match the feeling of having someone else there to share the moment with. I really wanted that feeling again. Making someone you love feel better than anyone else in the world and them, in turn, doing the same. I've only had that once and that's gone now. I can't say I miss him though, after how much of asshole he turned out to be. Leaving me during my fight for Ruby. Nope, not even a regret in that choice. Still, I can't help but go over the "what if" in my head. "How about sleep instead? Yea, let's do that."

I figured I would take a stab at changing the perspective since we spent so long with Weiss. It's not anything new for me but I used to say to myself how I wanted to concentrate mostly on Weiss. I've changed my mind a bit though because I think it allows a bit of extra room for story. I probably do it occasionally but not much. Especially since I don't think this is the strongest of chapters. I hope you guys enjoy it though. Reviews are always welcome, and remember to have fun!
