Yang yawned and stretched her arms up, her shoulders making a satisfying pop sound as she stretched the knots out. She was currently standing outside the library, waiting for her partner to return from borrowing a book they'd need in the upcoming test. While she was waiting she thought back on this morning with a fond smile. It'd gone a few days since they started and Blake had already made it a habit to sneak into her bed when the other two was asleep. And Yang wasn't complaining.
She'd discovered Blake loved to have her head beneath her chin, making Yang think of a cat doing that headbutt thing they like to do. Just Blake was cuter than any cat she'd ever encounter. Dust my thoughts are sappy. But still she couldn't keep a grin off her face.
"Hey Velvet you sure you're a bunny and not a kangaroo?" Hearing voices she peeked inside the library. And by some of the tables sat Velvet, the bunny faunus second year. And around her stood Cardin and his team. Yang didn't know Velvet very well but she did know the girl was very timid and didn't do much to stop Cardin from teasing her.
"I-I'm not-"
"No, you're right. Kangaroo's would actually be able to land a hit." They laughed while Velvet sunk in her seat. Yang looked at her and an image of Blake sitting there came to her. This made her clench her fists and she stepped into the library. "I wonder if these are even real." Cardin moved to grab a hold of her ears however Yang was there in time to grab his wrist.
"Back off Cardin." She growled, glaring at him as he turned his head to her.
"Got nothing to do with you Xiao Long!" She narrowed her eyes then with a simple twist had his wrist pressing to his back.
"I said back off." She made him turn then for good measure kicked him as she let go to make him fall over stupidly. He got up and glared back at her, fists clenched and she smirked.
"You're gonna pay for that." She put her right hand in her left and cracked her knuckles.
"You don't want to get into a fist fight with me Cardin and you know it. Besides if you don't end this with me now, I will send for Coco and we can both have this conversation with you." Gritting his teeth Cardin clenched his fists.
"Coward, don't wanna take me one on one?" She laughed.
"Who's the coward here? The one who bullies a shy girl or the one who'd have no problem breaking that pretty face of yours?" Her eyes darkened to the brink of turning red as she stared him down. "You don't have your weapon. And while you might look big and scary to some even without it. To me you're just another training dummy. Because even without Ember Celica the most dangerous weapons I have are attached to me." She cracked her knuckles again and Cardin's teammates backed away. The boy himself didn't look so sure of himself anymore. And soon enough, after sneering at Yang, he turned around and walked away. Rolling her shoulders Yang relaxed, turning to meet Velvet's thankful eyes.
"Thanks Yang. That would have really hurt." She said, her rabbit ears flicking. Grinning the blond just gave her a thumbs up.
"No problem. Cardin is a jerk and I don't mind rubbing in his face that he's not a badass jerk." Velvet smiled and stood up.
"Well I better get back to the others before Coco sends a search party."
"You should stick up for yourself a bit more Velvet. Ask Coco for help. Everyone already know your team would gladly beat up Cardin if he bothers you."
"I know. I guess I just don't want to bother them." Yang patted her shoulder.
"I know someone just like you Velvet. And she felt a lot better after talking about it. So I suggest you do the same." The faunus smiled and nodded.
"Alright. Thanks again Yang." She walked past Yang and just before walking out the library Yang caught her saying one more thing. "Hi Blake." This made her freeze and gulp. Ah dust.. Turning around slowly she saw her partner look at her with a sceptical expression, hand on her hip and everything.
"Ehm.. How long have you been there?" Blake looked on an imaginary wrist watch.
"About the time you walked up to Cardin." Yang cleared her throat, scratching the back of her neck nervously.
"That long huh?"
"Yup."
"Uhm.. You mad?" Blake looked at her for a few seconds more before her posture became relaxed and a fond smile came to her face.
"Of course not Yang. Why should I be mad?" The blond shrugged, fiddling a bit with her hair.
"Because.. I hadn't really thought about.. Doing it before meeting you.." Blake walked up to her and grabbed the fiddling hand.
"Yang I didn't do anything to defend Velvet either. And you know how I feel when it comes to discrimination towards faunus. I just decided to make Cardin feel stupid in other ways then threaten him and wound his ego." Yang let out a small breath of relief.
"Well it still shouldn't have taken me this long to stand up to stop something that was clearly wrong.." Blake's smile turned to a warm one and she reached up to brush away some strands of hair from Yang's face.
"I really appreciate the thought Yang. But sometimes it does just take a change of perspective to actually realize how wrong something is." Finally Yang's lips turned up and she grabbed the hand to hold between them.
"Well I'm glad that change of perspective came from you." Blushing a little Blake took back her hand and turned to walk towards the exit.
"Dork." She said and Yang grinned.
"Likable dork." She corrected and jogged up to her partner and grabbed her hand again. Blake didn't try to take it back this time, she just opened a book she'd been holding in her other hand instead. "Find what you were looking for?"
"Well yes but now I'm looking for something else. I saw a book that reminded me of a book series I have yet to finish but I don't have the last book of that series with me.. And I couldn't find it in there. So I'd have to go to the library in Vale and see if I can find it."
"I can give you a ride down on Bumblebee. You don't have any more classes right?" Blake shook her head.
"No but do you?"
"Nope." Yang popped and grinned. Smiling, Blake turned a page in her book as she looked up at the blond.
"Alright then I'd appreciate it." They headed to the dorm and upon arrival was met with a groan. And looking towards the desk it was obvious Ruby had been the one to make the sound. Weiss was sitting beside her, pointing to something in one of the many books scattered on the desk.
"Come on Ruby it's not that hard to remember." The younger girl grumbled, pout on her lips.
"Maybe not for someone as brilliant as you but for me it is!" Sighing Weiss grabbed a notebook.
"I only agreed to study with you because I don't want a slacker for a leader." She said though prior to this she'd refused until Ruby looked at her like a kicked puppy and she had changed her mind quickly with that as an excuse. "Besides I've seen you remembering the name of every little knot and bolt of your weapon so why not simple history?"
"Because Crescent Rose isn't just a weapon. It's like, part of me, so of course I will remember what everything's called in case I need that certain part repaired." Weiss was about to speak again then Yang cut in.
"Hey Rubes. I'm heading to Vale with Blake. If you manage to remember this and aim for a high grade on the test I'll tell you if I bought a jar of cookies or a new sniper lens for Crescent Rose." Ruby's eyes sparkled and she grabbed the book and started reading with an intense aura around her. "Also you should imagine each chapter of history like a part of your weapon. If you learn it you'll be a stronger huntress." Nodding Ruby continued to read, now looking a bit more energetic.
"I've been trying to get her into this for an hour. Don't tell me you're going to try and bribe her every time there's a test." Weiss asked and Yang shook her head.
"Of course not. But history in particular has always been Ruby's weak point. Find a way to make it fun or appeal to her huntress side and she'll come around. Forcing someone to learn isn't gonna bear any fruit. She should be good now though. I'll give her attention back to you Weiss." She grabbed the keys for Bumblebee and her helmet. "Dust knows you want it more than anyone else."
Weiss cast her a glare that she avoided by going out the door. Blake kept quiet but a smile crept up her face either way as she just grabbed a scarf and put away her book before following the blond out. Ruby was too focused to really pay attention. Something Weiss was undoubtedly grateful for. Though after a few minutes Ruby suddenly lit up.
"Wait, why are they going to Vale?" Meanwhile the two had almost made it outside.
"You just love to push her buttons don't you?" Blake said with a hint of amusement and Yang shrugged.
"I try to resist but she makes it really easy." Wrapping the scarf around her neck Blake rolled her eyes.
"You really try don't you?"
"Not really." The two shared a chuckle as they walked outside. The bike was parked closeby and as she unlocked it Yang handed over her helmet to Blake.
"Shouldn't you have it?"
"I'd rather you have it. I'll feel better knowing you've got something to protect that brain of yours. Besides I'm very skilled in driving but on the off chance we do get into some sort of accident I know I'd be able to take the beating better than you. Though I don't plan on crashing on a simple drive to the library." Seeing the point in her reasoning, Blake took the helmet and put it on. They both got on and Yang turned her head and winked at her before putting on her sunglasses. "Hold on tight."
And that's exactly what she did as Bumblebee roared to life and started off fast down the road. Her arms became tightly wound around Yang's stomach and she pressed her head to the girl's strong back. Yang felt her heart flutter a little and she smiled. Though feeling how tightly she held on she realized Blake wasn't used to the speed she usually went in so she slowed down a little, feeling the death grip loosen. She wasn't surprised, this was the first time Blake went with her on Bumblebee. They got to the library after a few minutes, Yang parking the bike right outside and waited for Blake to get off.
"Well, I can sort of get why you like riding on that thing." Blake exclaimed as she took off the helmet, pulling a hand through her hair to smoothen it out. Yang took off her sunglasses and got off the bike herself.
"Gives quite the rush huh?"
"I guess. Though I'm not getting one myself. I think I'm content with being the one holding on. As long as you're the one driving." Yang found no comeback to that and Blake smirked, throwing the helmet to her. "You just gonna stand here or follow me inside?"
"I eh.. Lock the bike.. Catch up with you." Blake held back a giggle as Yang was flustered enough to be reduced to caveman speech.
"Alright, if you want you can wait for me by the entrance. Shouldn't take me long to find the book." Yang just dimly nodded and Blake giggled this time and went for a quick peck on the cheek. "Thanks for the ride." She then walked inside, leaving an even more flustered Yang behind.
"Damn.. That is so not fair.." Yang mumbled as she locked Bumblebee and put the helmet on the seat. And doing as she was told she stood by the entrance, leaning against a pillar. I think I'm content with being the one holding on. As long as you're the one driving. She put her face in her hands, stupid smile on her face. "Why does that make me happy?" She was so busy acting like a lovestruck idiot she missed the steps coming towards her.
"What's a beautiful girl like you doing in a boring place like this?" She looked up, three boys now standing in front of her. The one in the middle having a rose in hand and a smirk on his face. Oh great, another flirt. Better get rid of him before Blake comes back.
"What's it look like I'm doing? I'm waiting-" But he interrupted her attempt at ending the conversation by getting closer and putting the rose close to her mouth.
"I know, would you care to come with me and my friends to a more fun place? We know a good place where we can have all the fun we want." Yang cringed and pushed away the rose to give him a glare. She'd often get hit on but she didn't often get guys who were so disgustingly obvious with what they wanted.
"Okay, back off a hundred steps then we might be able to have a normal conversation." He smirked and took back his hand in a jerk like he'd been burned.
"Ouch, you should watch that fire, it's very hot."
"Well be careful not to get too close then." She crossed her arms. "Because you will get burned." Like he was either immune or just ignoring the fact she was trying to end the conversation he got even closer.
"That's one burn I wouldn't mind." And before she could stop him he put the rose in her hair. She flinched as she felt her hair being pulled with the thorns he obviously had forgotten to take off. "You look good in red." There was a retort on her tongue but instead she reached up to touch where the rose had been put. The thorns had tangled with her hair and would not be easy to get out. Feeling anger bubble up she frowned and glared at him.
"Did you just put a rose with thorns in my hair?" He seemed taken aback by her response and like he just realized it himself he gulped and grimaced.
"Ehm.. Y-Yes.. But hey I just wanted to-" She grabbed his collar and pulled him face to face with her. Her eyes turned red and she could see him finally realizing his mistake.
"Save it." She was planning on punching him however seeing Blake at the edge of her eyes she lowered her already raised fist and growled. "Next time you wanna flirt with a girl, don't mess with her hair. You're lucky I'm in a good mood." She shoved him away so he fell over. "Now scram. Unless you wanna be at the end of another hand with sharper claws then me. Because I didn't come here alone." He nodded, his buddies helping him up and they all three scurried away. She sighed and turned to Blake who was eyeing the retreating trio before turning her gaze to her.
"Yang what-"
"A couple desperate jerks. You'd think they'd back off after I clearly tried to glare holes through their skulls but some guys are just dense I guess." Blake's eyes turned to the rose and Yang waved a dismissive hand. "Desperate last attempt. Would have probably gone better for him if he'd taken off the thorns first. And tried flirting with someone else. I was about to punch him before I saw you." She said as she tried to get the rose out of her hair.
"Why didn't you?" Yang glanced at her and grinned.
"Guess the sight of you calms me down." Blake blushed a little and the blond winked at her before continuing to try and get the rose out of her hair. Blake came up, put down a bag she'd been holding undoubtedly containing her book, and stopped her. She then moved her own hands to remove the rose but Yang stopped her by taking hold of her wrist. Looking at the blond she held a stern expression before she caught herself and it turned to an apologetic one. "S-Sorry Blake it's just.. A-A reflex and-"
"It's okay. I know how much your hair means to you. Trust me?" Yang looked into the amber eyes. They were reassuring and understanding, fully accepting Yang's protective nature when it came to her hair. She honestly hadn't meant to make it seem like she didn't trust Blake to take out the rose gently. But how it had been treated so far it was just the natural response. She released Blake's hand and turned her head so the rose was in clear view. The faunus still held her hand right above the blond locks and waited for Yang to take a deep breath and nod before she started to untangle it.
And honestly Yang was surprised over how gentle she was. She hardly felt anything as Blake took the rose out, carefully plucking away the hair stuck in the thorns. And she made sure to take her time as well, being extra careful so not one hair was pulled off. When the rose was out she even took the time to smoothen her hair out and pluck away any remnants of the rose, returning it to how it looked before the rose was put there. It actually felt good having Blake touch her hair. So much so Yang found herself closing her eyes and smiling, making an approving humming sound.
"Better?" Blake mused, still carefully pulling her fingers through the long silk like strands. You could really feel and see how much work Yang put into her hair everyday. Opening her eyes Yang grinned.
"Much." She took the rose from Blake and started picking away the thorns. The faunus watched her curiously, removing her hands from Yang to pick up her bag again.
"Not gonna get rid of it?" Yang shook her head.
"Nope, just because it came from a jerk doesn't mean I should waste the beauty of the flower.." She picked away the last thorns then grabbed Blake's chin and tilted it slightly up. Smiling she placed the rose in Blake's hair instead. "When it can make someone else even more beautiful." Blake graced her fingers on the flower petals then looked up into warm violet eyes. Smiling with a tinge of red on her cheeks she took the hand holding her chin and intertwined their fingers.
"Dork." Yang grinned.
"Likable dork." They both giggled and looked each other in the eye. And since no one seemed to pay attention to them, Yang leaned down and gave Blake a peck on the lips. But before being able to pull away Blake leaned into it, pulling it out for a bit more. Their kisses were always kept tame and simple yet it always made Yang's heart soar and caused her aura to pulse. She tightened her hold on Blake's hand as she moved her free one to cup her cheek gently, the tip of her fingers brushing against the side of Blake's head.
And, much like every other time they had a moment, a soft purr started to come from her partner and she smiled into the kiss. She'd gotten it explained that with her it seemed Blake had no real control over it, could only make sure it wasn't that loud. And the idea of being the only one able to hear her purr just made it more endearing. Separating they leaned their foreheads together, both smiling. "So you found the book?"
"Yeah.." Blake hummed, still enjoying Yang's warmth.
"Good, then we better get to the shopping district. I need to buy that jar of cookies and sniper lens for Ruby." They separated fully, still holding hands as they walked back to the bike. Blake raised a brow and looked on the blond with a smile.
"Thought you said you'd get either or." Yang shrugged and handed Blake the helmet.
"If she does badly on the test I can save the lens for her birthday." Blake thought the blond's spoiling of Ruby cute in a way, almost wishing she had an older sister like that. "Besides before we go back to school we might as well look around just the two of us." Blake blinked in slight surprise as Yang said this getting on the bike. And Yang seemed to realize herself what her words could mean and blushed a little while looking away, rubbing her neck nervously. "If you want to that is.." I didn't even realize I pretty much indirectly asked her for a date! Dust I must sound so stupid. We've been together for a couple days now so this shouldn't-
"Sure, we have about three hours before we need to get back. Because remember I did take out that history book so we could study." Yang looked back at Blake who was blushing a little as well. Smiling brightly she nodded, once again looking so excited Blake couldn't help but think she was being adorable. So she put on the helmet, of course taking the rose off and putting it in her bag so it wasn't destroyed, and got on the bike, getting a hold of the blond before the bike even started. Jeez I need to calm down. I'm acting like a silly love struck teenage girl in a romance movie. Yang thought to herself, still smiling as she drove them to the shopping district.
Well there Yang parked the bike nearby and the two started to stroll down the street, looking through windows. They walked side by side, both pointing things out to their partner. And Blake occasionally went up to check so the rose that Yang had put back in her hair was still secure.
"Hey Blake look!" Yang went over to a pet store that had some animals outside. One of them being a black cat with a harness held by an employe. And upon seeing Yang the cat bounced up and immediately went around her legs, ensnaring her with the leash.
"Heh, he seems to like you." Yang chuckled, trying to untangle her legs and crouch down to pet the kitty.
"I seem to be good with cats." She turned her head with a grin on her lips as Blake approached and the faunus rolled her eyes at the remark.
"Oh yes you're like catnip." She crouched down right next to Yang and the cat was happy to go be petted by her as well. Though it seemed to have taken a liking to Yang as it stroked itself up against her a bit more. Blake subconsciously narrowed her eyes at the cat, seeming to feel even more threatened by this cat than by Zwei.
Yang noticed the slightly darker aura coming from her partner, glancing at her to see her staring at the cat with an obvious MINE face. It even seemed to work as the cat slowly started to stop cuddling with her. Smiling she bumped her whole body into Blake softly, getting her attention.
"I know she doesn't like to share so you know I only have enough catnip for one black cat." Getting what she was saying Blake looked away with a blush. Once again feeling a bit ashamed for feeling threatened by a mere animal.
"You know we have some cat toys and catnip for sale if you'd like to buy some." Yang looked up at him, glanced at Blake then grinned.
"My kitten don't play with toys much. Don't know how she reacts to catnip really but I think we'll pass. She's more of a, take it easy by the windowsill kind of cat. With the occasional cuddles." Blake gave her a look and she merely grinned wider. Knowing exactly what she was doing the faunus rolled her eyes once again but then leaned her body over to the blond.
"She'd react to catnip the same way she reacts to you. She'd be all over you." The last sentence was said with a bit of sarcasm yet it had the desired effect. Making Yang blush and have her grin turn to a shocked expression. Blake had quickly found that even though the blond was an expert at teasing and flirting without batting an eye. When she was on the receiving end, at least when Blake did it, she could get easily flustered. At least when she wasn't expecting such a comeback. The man with the cat just looked at them with a quizzical expression. Flustered Yang cleared her throat and stood straight, fiddling with her hands as she smiled at the man.
"Right, well, yes, I mean, no we-we'll be fine thanks." She pet the cat once more before she started walking away, Blake in toe with an amused smile on her face. They walked for a while in silence until Yang stopped, Blake continuing to walk until she was in front of her before stopping. "Blake?"
"Hm?" The blond was still fiddling with her hands as she looked up on the faunus.
"Well.. I just.. About the.. How do you.. I mean maybe I shouldn't ask but.." Blake raised a brow, glancing over to the pet shop again and could guess what exactly it was Yang was trying to ask.
"You want to know how I really react to catnip?" Yang flinched and waved her hands in front of her.
"W-Well yes but you don't have to answer! I don't mean to assume just because you're a cat faunus you're supposed to react to-I mean-"The faunus smiled at the fact Yang was so considerate of her feelings she even hesitated to ask such a silly question. Blake grabbed her hands, making them still which got Yang to look into her eyes.
"Yang, calm down. It's okay. I know you mean nothing bad, just curious right?" Yang smiled sheepishly and nodded. "Well To be honest I've only ever been in contact with it once. And I don't remember what happened. Just woke up with a headache. But I've been told most of us react to it like normal cats. We get a little woozy." Yang made an "o" face, looking at her with an interested gaze, and being quite cute in Blake's opinion.
"So basically we should keep catnip off the shopping list."
"As I said, I don't remember what happened. But that would probably be wise." Yang grinned and put her hands behind her head.
"Yup, very Weiss indeed." Blake looked at her blankly before facepalming.
"I'm telling Weiss you said that." She said before starting to walk off. Yang chuckled and followed.
"What? I just said wise. It was a slip of the tongue!" Blake rolled her eyes but stopped when Yang grabbed her hand. "Jokes aside, thanks for telling me Blake. I'm happy you feel comfortable enough to share stuff about your more, well, faunus side. No matter how small." Amber turned to violet, nothing but sincerity glowing from them. She felt that familiar warm feeling in her chest and also somehow felt a little lighter. She turned her head away, mainly to hide the slight pink color on her cheeks.
"Dork.." She mumbled and once again Yang grinned. She tightened her hold on her partner's hand and pulled her back a little only to get in range to kiss her temple.
"Likable dork." Blake couldn't keep a smile from coming to her face and she held Yang's hand right back. They continued to walk down the street, of course stopping when they found a bakery so Yang could buy those cookies. They made sure to pack the cookies under the seat of Bumblebee before continuing down the street. Though a call caught their attention.
"Blake! Yang!" Both looked to the side and could see two people they recognized.
"Sun, Neptune? What are you guys doing here?" Yang asked hand on her hip. The monkey faunus grinned and patted Neptune's shoulder.
"Just shopping for parts. How about you?" Neptune raised a brow.
"Eh, I don't know if you remember but we came here because Weiss and Ruby told us they'd gone to Va-HAle!" He coughed as Sun jabbed his side. "Dude! What was that for?"
"It's a coincidence! You see we went to your dorm to see if your team wanted to join us and then they mentioned you were already here and well here we are." Yang crossed her arms.
"So where's Ruby and Weiss?"
"They.. Didn't want to come! Studying you know." Neptune looked confused.
"But I thought you wanted to ask Blake specificall-ooff!" Another jab and Neptune groaned, glaring at Sun who was glaring back. Blake and Yang looked on each other sceptically.
"What's so hard about admitting you wanted to ask Blake out?" Yang asked tiredly and Sun cleared his throat.
"Well I was.. I mean I meant to. I mean I want to." Blake glanced at Yang who, during Sun's breakdown ramble, simply looked away across the street. She was half expecting Yang to interrupt him in some way. But as he seemed to collect himself she still didn't show much interest which somehow made her a bit sad. "I really like the rose, it suits you.. Where'd you get it?"
"Yang gave it to me." Blake said without hesitation, glancing at Yang who still had her eyes on the other side of the street.
"Oh.. Well ehm.." He jabbed Neptune again. "Dude.." Neptune winked.
"Got ya. Hey Yang, wanna look over some weapons parts I saw in that shop over there? They have them on display." It was an obvious attempt to give the two faunus some alone time. Yang glanced at him, looked to Blake who was busy looking down on the ground with dejected eyes for some reason then looked back at him.
"Sounds interesting." Blake clenched her hands. "But-oh hey! Blake lookit!" The faunus was shocked when Yang suddenly grabbed her hand and yanked her towards the driveway. They dodged cars by a hair and the two boys were left on the other side of the street just as shocked as Blake felt. The blond pulled her down a narrow street then took a sharp left down an alleyway.
"Yang what-" Stopping she pressed Blake to the wall and held a hand over her mouth.
"Sh." Neptune and Sun soon came running but went past the alley calling for them. Once their steps and shouts were out of earshot Yang let out a breath and lowered her hand.
"Yang what the heck was that?" The blond looked Blake in the eyes, just now realizing how close they were. Blushing a little she sighed and rubbed her neck nervously.
"Would it sound selfish of me if I said it was an attempt to keep you to myself?" Amber eyes widened in surprise and Yang sighed again. "I also did it cause you didn't exactly look comfortable.. Could have just been me of course.. But.. I will also admit I don't exactly like seeing Sun flirting with you when I'm right there.." She looked away, embarrassed frown on her face. That warm feeling welled up in Blake's chest again at the show of jealousy in Yang's face and voice. She did care. Well of course she does you idiot. Stop being so dense. She scolded herself then smiled.
"So he can flirt with me when you're not there?" Yang whipped her head around.
"No!" Her voice came out a lot louder than she intended and she shut her mouth quickly. Blake's smile grew soft and she cupped Yang's cheeks.
"It's alright Yang. I get it. And I don't think you're selfish. Because not only did I sort of do the exact same thing a few days ago. I also sort of hoped you'd get me out of that. I.. Like seeing you care." Yang blinked, a bit surprised but then she looked more serious as she grabbed Blake's hands and put them down by her neck then reaching for hers.
"Of course I care." She leaned their foreheads together. "I told you so before didn't I? That I wouldn't just stand there and watch anymore. Just as you're protective of me I'm protective of you. Got it?" Blake smiled and held Yang's neck, caressing just below the ears with her thumbs as she pulled her a little closer.
"Got it." And almost like she'd expected it, Blake barely had to pull at all for Yang to lean in and kiss her. For some reason it felt a bit different. And Blake soon realized it was because now Yang was the one trying to prove a point, dominating her just a little by pressing her back against the wall. Yet despite this she could still feel her holding back, having much better control than herself when it came to this. They separated for a bit, both panting a little and staring into each other's eyes.
"Blake.." Her name came out in a pant and Yang's eyes were clouded over and it made her heart race. However as it looked like Yang would lean in again she stopped herself and closed her eyes, taking a deep breath. She then did kiss her again but a bit calmer this time. Part of Blake wondered why while the other just enjoyed the warmth. After a few more seconds the brawler leaned away again and when she opened her eyes they were back to normal albeit a bit hazy still. "Just don't forget I'll always care Blake. I wouldn't do this if I didn't." Blake looked her in the eyes for a bit, searching for something but not finding it she smiled and pulled Yang back to rub their noses together.
"I won't. I'm sorry for making it seem like I thought you didn't." They stayed like that for a while, Yang releasing some of her aura to make them both relax.
"Blake! Yang! Where'd you guys go?!" Once again Sun's calls came into earshot and Yang frowned.
"Jeez that boy can't take a hint." The slight irritation in her voice made Blake giggle and the blond looked disapprovingly on her. "Hey, it's not funny."
"Maybe not but your pout is."
"I'm not pouting."
"Yeah sure." Groaning Yang grabbed Blake's hands to make them release her before holding just one to pull her out the alley. "Eh, Yang?"
"We're making a break for Bumblebee. I can buy that sniper lens in a shop just on the outskirts of town. Come on." She was really making an effort to make sure it was just the two of them and it made Blake extremely happy and warm inside for some reason.
"Alright." Yang grinned and they started running for the bike. Blake once again put the rose in her bag and put on the helmet. And just as Yang started the bike Sun and Neptune could be seen across the street. The blond couldn't help but send them a grin and a wave before driving off with Blake clutching onto her. "Dork.." Blake mumbled and by some wonder it reached Yang's ears and she grinned wider.
"Likable dork."
Me: Hello! I am back! Not fully recovered but recovered enough to sit a long ass time by the computer to get this chapter done. Like seriously I was up almost all night writing this shiz and woke up like three in the afternoon because of it. Luckily I have no school so we're cool.
Blake: Well you got school tomorrow so isn't that a problem if you slept most of the day?
Me: *raises hand about to answer but sees point and drops it* Hm.. You're right, I might be just a little bit screwed.. Damn..
Yang: Don't go yangsty on us.
Me: *facepalms* Thank you Yang.
Yang: No probs Wolfman.
Me: Yang, I'm a woman. I know some people still don't get that, but I do have boobs, there's no secret there.
Yang: Right well you know I was just.. Oh nevermind..
Blake: Anyway, do review with thoughts and ideas since Wolf still doesn't quite know where this story is going. And if yu don't feel like reviewing do send a PM she sees and answers when she can.
Me: Also! I saw some of you guys coming with pretty good ideas last time. One of which I implemented here, the appearance of Sun and Neptune! They'll come in more, and a bit longer, in later chapters. As soon as I know when exactly.. Though this "funny faunus antics in class" I'm not quite sure what you want there. But I do take all suggestions to heart and will do my best in getting them in if they fit in with the story.
Blake: But if she doesn't get your idea in this story she might do a one-shot for that specific idea instead so don't be afraid to ask.
Me: Also to warn next chapter is gonna be a little different.. I think. I've been asked to, despite this being a Bumbleby story, write a little WhiteRose. So, I haven't started yet so I don't know how it's gonna turn out, but I think I'm gonna write a bit about what our other duo was doing while our favorite bees were out on this little adventure. But I actually thought it a good idea to do a little of both. But Bumbelby is the main so no major expectations now. Save those for the actuall WhiteRose stories.
Yang: That everything we want said? This AN is becoming a bit long.
Me: Oh wait, there was a long time reader of mine that pointed something out and I just have to in honor of them. *writes and Blake is now wearing a maid outfit with a tail*
Blake: Wolf what the-
Yang: Mine! *pounces* Bye everyone see you next chapter! Come ere Blakey~
Blake: WOLF!
Me: Ah~ Long time since someone shouted at me for doing that.
