"And we've arrived." Yang said, looking skeptical at the two boys who had offered to show the way but gotten lost after the first street corner. So, knowing her way around a bit more than the rest she showed her team and the two boys the way.

None of them were wearing anything fancy, team RWBY wore the same clothes they'd worn when taking out the mech. Sun and Neptune just wore their everyday clothes. Though Yang thought Blake looked gorgeous in any outfit so it all didn't matter to her. Of course in that particular one she had to focus to not look at that space between her shirt and pants. Right now it'd just be inappropriate since she seemed upset for some reason.

"Eh.. hehe.. Sorry for making you show us the way Yang. Thanks though." She rolled her eyes and looked up on the building they were in front of.

"Well would you look at that. They've even changed the neon sign to a dragon. I would feel flattered if it wasn't for the fact they probably had to buy a new one since I.. Broke their last one.." Weiss scoffed, shifting from one foot to another beside Ruby.

"I'm amazed there's a place where you're wanted." Yang shrugged and grinned.

"There's plenty of places that appreciate me. I'm just not gonna say the name of those places in front of my sister cause I'm afraid she'll go there and that's no place for her innocent soul." Weiss covered Ruby's ears with a glare towards the brawler.

"Then don't mention their existence." Yang chuckled then looked to Blake, seeing her staring at her from beside Sun. She tried to keep smiling, cocking her head to the entrance trying to look excited. But Blake could see through her.

She was still upset about how Blake had reacted. And the faunus felt guilt digging at the back of her mind but also, frustration. She wanted to talk to Yang, a proper talk about what had seemed to bother her for so long. And she knew one of the reasons the blonde had even agreed to this was so she could avoid it.

"Alright let's get inside already." They all got in, sitting down at a table in one of the far corners. There were booths as well but, with a bit of convincing on Sun's part, they were planning to take part in the karaoke that happened on the stage in the middle of the bar. Of course there were plans of private sessions in the booth too but that was later.

"So who's going up first? Looks like they're just setting up for the first singer. Weiss?" Neptune said, looking on Weiss who rolled her eyes. Why was it every time it came to singing she had to be first?

"Hey, let her decide when to go Neptune. Just because she's a professional doesn't mean she has to start." Ruby told him off, sensing her partner get tense all of a sudden. The boy held up his hands, backing off real quick.

"Sorry! It was just a suggestion." Weiss gave Ruby a thankful look, small smile coming to her face when the girl just grinned at her in response. Yang chuckled from her seat, finding her little sister's defense of Weiss cute in a way. She glanced over at Blake again, Sun was sitting between them, to her minor displeasure. The amber eyes were downcast, looking at the table. She bit back a call for her, because she didn't want to alert the others. But she didn't want Blake to look like that either.

"Alright ladies and gentlemen." The whole group turned to the stage at the voice coming from the speakers. "Let's get this karaoke night started. Now, I've heard our very own favorite dragon has joined us tonight with some friends. And I would very much like it if she'd come up here and started this off with her very own Yang eh? So where are ya?" They turned to Yang who blushed a little but stood from her seat.

"Well, I guess I'm going up first." She waved to the stage, the man seeing her and pointing to her, waving for her to come over.

"There she is! Yang Xiao Long everyone!" Cheers burst from the people in the room as Yang got up on stage. The blonde gave his arm a soft punch as she took the mic.

"I can't refuse if you invite me up with a pun." He laughed and showed her a tablet filled with songs. He whispered though some words could still be heard in the mic.

"So which one will it be today? Crowd favorite or that song you said you'd only sing for a certain someone?" She punched him again and took the tablet.

"Shush you." Yang cleared her throat, scrolling through the songs until she stopped. From her seat Blake could see there was hesitation in Yang's eyes, finger trembling over the screen for a second before she pressed down. "Ya don't need to pull up the lyrics. Know it by heart."

"Alright, ooh, starting off with this huh? Make us all warm and fuzzy? Get some more girls to-"

"Okay that's enough. I just feel like singing it. Let's just get this started already." Shrugging the man jumped off the stage and, after a countdown, Yang started singing, the band behind her starting to play.

"There's a garden where I go

If you meet me there no one will know

In the springtime, in the sun.

We can be alone without anyone."

There was a small pause in lyrics as the band went on and Yang glanced over to her teams table, giving Blake a look. It was a piercing look, something that had the faunus heart beat quicker as Yang continued.

"Wow, I didn't know Yang was so good at singing." Sun said, a bit dumbfounded as he watched the blonde swing a bit with the beat. Blake said nothing to his comment, just listening and seeing the looks Yang gave her at certain lines.

"We'll sit for a while

As I drink in your smile

It feels like a dream that's come true.

My head starts to buzz

And my heart fills with love over you."

No one else seemed to notice but during that whole verse Yang's eyes were transfixed on Blake. Their soft glow and passionate look had the faunus blush a little, her ears under the bow twitched as the word "love" fell from Yang's lips.

"Baby can't you see?

You could be with me

We could live inside a garden of ecstasy.

You could be my queen

I could be your dream

Life's like a fantasy

Maybe set me free?

Let me be your bumblebee."

"This song is just filled with bee puns. Must be why Yang likes it." While Neptune agreed with his friend, Weiss and Ruby being unusually quiet, Blake was so focused on Yang she hadn't even heard what Sun had said. The blonde's aura was making her glow as she sung the next two verses, once again looking towards Blake.

"Now the flowers are in bloom

And you've chased away my darkness and gloom

When the wind blows through the trees

And your voice is like a song in the breeze.

My doubts disappear every time that you're near

Clouds seem to run from the sky

The thought of your kiss sends my soul into bliss

I get high."

The chorus began again, Yang's eyes turning away from Blake to look over the crowd, smiling and waving to some who whistled and waved themselves. The faunus felt warmth in her whole body. The meaning behind the lyrics she sang and the way she looked at her at certain parts started to settle with her. And it only became clearer with the last verse.

"Like a serenade, every word you say

Has me fallin' more and more in love with you

Like a purdie beat, you are oh so sweet

Everyday is sunny, tastes like honey

Feel so alive take me back to the hive."

Blake bit her lip, arms crossing over her stomach as the song came to an end. She had this warm feeling in her gut and her heart was beating a bit above normal speed. And as she heard catcalls and whistles from the audience the feeling of just kissing Yang and marking her for others to see had never been so great. But she had to focus. There must be a reason for Yang to have chosen that song to sing, if the way she was looking at her wasn't proof enough. But what was she supposed to respond with? When the blonde returned to the table she was greeted with applause from the boys and a grin from Ruby.

"That was awesome! I didn't know you could sing." She chuckled, Ruby hugging her arm with pride on her face.

"Well duh, Yang's great at singing. Always has been. She always sang me lullabies when I couldn't sleep." Yang ruffled her sister's hair with a grin.

"And sometimes you refused to sleep until I sang to you." She got a pout from her sister but she ignored it.

"I must give my compliments as well. You sang much better than I thought you would." The blonde smiled at Weiss then looked over to Blake.

"A-Any good?" The stutter didn't go unnoticed by the faunus and she fiddled with her clothes.

"You were great Yang. I.. Really liked it." At the words Yang beamed, genuine grin coming to her face as a small happy snicker left her. She'd like to ask her about the song but their friends made that a hard task.

"Alright, get ready to compliment me cause I'm going up next." Sun exclaimed proudly, giving Blake a wink to which she just gave a small shake of her head.

"You do that. I'll go get us something to drink. Neptune you're coming with me. Won't be able to hold them all by myself. There's a drink menu there so send me your orders ladies and we'll be right back. But Ruby if you send me an order of anything other then soda I will simply pick one and you'll have to be happy with it cause you're not drinking anything else." She grabbed a hold of Neptune's arm and pulled him with her under small sputtering protests.

"Do places like these have milk you think?" Ruby asked innocently and Weiss sighed, covering her face to hide her light blush. You adorable idiot. Sun gave Blake his order so she could send it to Yang then left to get on the stage. After a few minutes only Neptune came back, balancing a tray of drinks. By then Sun had started singing, a love song by the sound of it, but Blake was busy looking at the lack of Yang to pay it much mind.

"Where's Yang?" He smiled sheepishly and pointed to the bar. The blond hair and glowing aura was hard to miss but there was another beside her, hand on her arm and a sultry smile on their face. Blake narrowed her eyes, spying ears on top of the persons head.

"Well seems like not only guys think Yang's hot. A faunus girl came and started talking to her. And now she's kinda stuck. I think the girl's drunk as well.. Last I heard she's trying to get her to leave her alone but I wasn't sure what to do so maybe one of you could go help her-" Blake stood up, her chair almost falling over from the sudden force. She ignored the stares the action got her and started walking towards the bar. A rumble came from her chest but it was not a purr, more like a deep growl as the smell of dog reached her nose. As she got closer she started hearing part of the conversation.

"Oh come on~ I heard you singin. You're into girls aren't you? And while on that who were singin about? Someone special?" Yang smiled nervously, looking a bit uncomfortable as she tried to get the girl to calm down, and for that matter get her hands off.

"Well I-"

"Cause if it wasn't for anyone. Willing to give me a shot? Come on hot stuff, don't make me beg." Yang found it harder to get rid of female flirters. Especially if they were drunk and not in full control of their actions. Plus this was a dog faunus, if she did anything outrageous it would probably be seen as racism. Which was ridiculous but for once she didn't want to cause a scene. "What don't think I'm pretty?" She sighed, shaking her head. The girl wore a pretty dress, brown hair down to her shoulders that framed her face well. So she was pretty attractive but that wasn't the issue.

"Listen I'm in the middle of a relationship with my-"

"Oh? Then I wonder where they are. I wouldn't be able to keep my hands off you after a performance like that." To emphasize this, one hand went up Yang's arm while the other reached for her hip. Blake's eyes dilated, growl coming up her throat as she used her semblance to quickly step in between them, basically hitting the girl's hands away.

"B-Blake?" The cat faunus left all inhibitions and straight out hissed at the girl, teeth close to showing and eyes narrowed in a hard glare. Her bow lay almost flat on her head and she'd grabbed a hold of Yang's waist, keeping her behind her.

"Hands off." She growled, sounding much like an angry cat.

"Oh scary. You must be the other girl.. You got yourself a cat? Your taste in women aren't great but I could change that." She winked at Yang behind Blake, like she was pretending she wasn't there.

"Touch her and find out what kind of cat I am." The dog faunus looked at Blake again, seeing the predatory look and feeling the dark aura flow off her in waves. It made her own skin crawl and she shuddered. But, being drunk, she decided to stupidly try her luck.

"And what if I do? Maybe I'll ask her out. What'll you do kitten?" Blake twitched, hand on Yang's hip tightening. The blonde could see what was going to happen a mile away, turning her head to locate the toilets. Once she found them, she grabbed Blake's hand and made a B-line for them, leaving a confused dog faunus behind. She pulled her partner into the bigger handicap toilet and closed the door. Sighing she left it unlocked since they wouldn't be in here for long.

"Blake while I appreciate the defense we shouldn't cause a scene-" Arms wrapped around her waist from behind, going beyond to lock the door as she was almost pressed against it. One hand went up to pull down the high collar. Lips traveled her neck, an occasional warm tongue licking certain points. "B-Bla-ah-" Yang's breath hitched as she felt Blake bite down and suck on her skin. It didn't really hurt, if anything it felt good but this wasn't the time or place to think like that. However her hands clenched against the door as Blake let go only to lick the mark now undoubtedly there.

"Mine.." Blake mumbled, almost too low for Yang to hear. The blonde resisted a moan as Blake started making a new one. She knew full well what this was. Blake wasn't in control of her actions right now. She was just following her instincts at this point. It's gonna happen all over again.. Gritting her teeth she turned her head.

"B-Blake wait.." She tried to push off the door at least but the faunus only moved away to make her turn around. Lips crashed together, amber looking into violet like a predator surveying its prey. She was worked up, it was just what had happened in the gym. Just now it seemed to be worse. Blake pressed closer, one of her legs going between Yang's making her flinch. Feeling Blake's tongue trying to prod her lips open she turned her head, breaking away and pushing on her partner's shoulder. "Blake-"

"Why are you stopping me?"

"You need to calm down-"

"I don't want to calm down! I want you to tell me what that was about?!" Yang furrowed her brows. She got the feeling that question wasn't just for what recently happened.

"It was nothing. Why are you so upset all of a sudden?" Blake frowned and stared right into her eyes.

"Shouldn't I be asking you that? Something's bothered you since you came back with Sun." Yang twitched, looking away but Blake narrowed her eyes and pointed to her. "And you're doing it again. Trying to avoid something you obviously want to tell me." Giving off a small growl Yang pushed her off and held a hand to her bruised neck.

"It's not like I'm trying to-"

"Then why don't you tell me?!" She grit her teeth.

"Well I tried back in the dorm but you snapped at me instead!" Blake knew she should calm down, this wasn't how she wanted to bring this up. But the frustration she'd felt was all coming out now.

"I only did that because I heard you and Sun in the hallway. Why would you agree to ask me that?!" Confusion was followed by realization and Yang furrowed her brows.

"In the hallway? Wait you heard that?" Blake pointed to her top of her head.

"Faunus remember? Now will you answer me or not?" Yang once again frowned, anger showing on her features.

"Wait you honestly think I asked you that so I could tell Sun? Blake you're my girlfriend why would I agree to help someone else ask you out?!" Just getting swept up in the heat of the moment by this point Blake didn't quite catch on what Yang had just called her.

"Why don't you tell me?!" Yang was about to shout but stopped herself when she looked into Blake's eyes. They were upset sure but there was underlying hurt and hesitation there that she'd gotten good at seeing. Shouting wasn't going to get her anywhere. It would just make Blake more upset. Taking a deep breath the blonde crossed her arms and leaned back on the door.

"You didn't hear the whole conversation obviously.." She mumbled, catching Blake off guard with how low and almost soft she tried to be in her tone. "He was asking where Weiss would like to go." Blake's frown was quickly dropped, replaced by shock and confusion.

"H-Huh? Why would-" Yang shook her head and looked down.

"As we were getting dinner Sun told me Neptune was having problems with asking Weiss where'd she'd like to go. So, Sun was going to do it for him. But since he doesn't know if Weiss even likes him enough to give him the answers he wants he asked me if I could ask her. And I agreed.." As Yang kept her voice calm Blake felt herself calm down, the rush and frustration she'd felt from the encounter with the dog faunus dissipating.

"He was just making sure I hadn't changed my mind when we talked about it in the hallway.." Blake stood frozen, processing the information and coming to one quick realization. I assumed the worst without even asking her.. I didn't trust her.. W-What did I just do?! I reacted just like Ad-!? She cut her thought short. Blake felt her heart drop and her stomach churn. She felt sick. Lowering her head she clenched her hands.

"Y-Yang I.. I'm sorry.. I should've.. Asked I shouldn't have.. I'm.. I'm so sorry.." Yang sighed, shaking her head once again.

"You should have asked. And I would have told you.." She trailed off as she saw Blake shrink with every word, obviously ready for Yang to be fully, and rightfully so, upset with her. She'd even stepped further away from her, knuckles almost white from how hard she clenched her hands. Another sigh left her before she pushed off the door and walked up to Blake to reach for her hands but the faunus flinched away.

"Blake.." She said her name softly, trying to calm her as she reached for the trembling hands once more. And this time she was able to hold them. And after a bit of careful tugging she managed to get Blake's hands up to softly kiss the knuckles as she spoke. "You were right though. Something was bothering me." Amber eyes looked up. "He wouldn't shut up about asking you out and while that bothered me.. I was kinda bothered more by the fact he's tried to ask you out a few times now. But I haven't. At least not properly." Blake felt her heart sink in her chest as her mistake was made even clearer.

"So.. The reason you asked-" Yang brought the hands back down with a small sigh.

"Was because I wanted to know so I could take you out on a proper date. Our little outing the other day doesn't count in my opinion, we did get interrupted." She smiled, caressing Blake's hands with her thumbs in a soothing pattern. "I know it's a silly thing to get upset over but I guess I couldn't help it. Sorry-"

"No! Don't say that! I'm the one who should be sorry.. I can't believe I just.. I.." Yang watched her in silence for a moment, seeing her bite her lip, tremble, eyes glossing over. Feeling her heart clench at the sight, any left over anger that might've been in her vanished and she squeezed Blake's hands to get her attention.

"I've already told you Blake. If something's bothering you, especially if it's something I've done or said, I need you to tell me." As she said this she brought up one of her hands to brush her fingers under Blake's eyes, wiping away a tear she'd seen forming. "I'm only just learning how to read you so I can't quite read your mind yet."

She got a small smile out of the faunus who leaned into the touch, bringing up her own hand to press hers closer. However Blake couldn't stop thinking about the other things that seemed to bother the blonde. And wondered if this was the right moment to ask about that as well. Or would she just accuse Yang of things that weren't there yet again?

"Yang.."

"It's okay Blake, ask me what you want." Blake looked up at her. "I can tell you still have something you wanna say."

"Thought you couldn't read my mind yet?" Yang chuckled and brushed her thumb over her cheek.

"I can't. But I'm learning to read how your bow drop and twitch when you want to say something you're not sure of. And your eyes shifting from me and back is a good indicator too." Blake hesitated for a moment then dropped her gaze and tightened her hold on Yang's hand.

"It's just.. You always stop when our kisses go a bit beyond simple kisses. You always look like you want to tell me something but never say it. It's like you're keeping something heavy from me. It feels like I'm the only one that's told you my problems but you don't tell me yours.." They stood in silence for a minute, making Blake think she'd said too much. But before being able to apologize Yang directed her to look at her.

"Weren't you listening?"

"H-Huh?" Amber met violet.

"I said, weren't you listening? To the song? Didn't you get that I was singing to you?" Yang looked so serious it caught Blake off guard. The song? She had guessed it was to her but she wasn't expecting it to be brought up now. "Every word was for you. And all of the statements I made in it true. Did it really go over your head?" Blake, remembering some of the lyrics blushed a little.

"N-No but I didn't think.. I.." Yang sighed and rubbed her neck.

"You know the whole reason I stopped you from going further than this?" She gestured to her neck. "In the gym this same thing happened. And you seemed surprised when I snapped you out of it. You looked more ashamed of it then you should have. Heck you seemed so torn up about it in the talk we had that night that I told myself one thing. I don't want you to start something you're not aware you're doing. As I've said I don't mind. But if it ends up hurting you I'm not letting you do it. Besides when we do do something like that I'd like it if you were totally aware and really want to. Not just cause it's your instinct to do so. That's only fine when I know you won't go into a nervous breakdown afterwards." Blake stared at her and she took a deep breath.

"As for me doing what I want.. Well it should be obvious at this point. But if it's not it's pretty simple. I'm afraid if I start I won't be able to stop. I mean you're more irresistible than you may think. Especially in this outfit!" Blake looked down and blushed. Yang tilted her chin back up. "I just don't want to do too much too soon. Especially if I end up hurting you.. Because that's the last thing I want.." She bit her lip, looking away as the next words came out.

"As for saying what I want.. I didn't want to rush anything on you seeing how hesitant you've been but.. Well I've said it in song may as well say it normally.." She cupped Blake's cheeks in her hands and pulled her into a soft kiss before looking her straight in the eyes. "Blake I.." A second of hesitation. "I love you."

Blake was at a loss for words, eyes wide and mouth slightly open in surprise. The signs had of course been there, she should really have known it already. But hearing the words said out loud, directly at her, with such determination and passion, left her speechless. Like her brain had just shut down. The amount of love and warmth coming from Yang's eyes didn't make her condition better. It was overwhelming to say the least. No one had ever looked at her like that before, nor thought so much about her own feelings before. Yang had done everything to make her comfortable, to not rush her, to make sure she didn't stray from what she really wanted.

I love you. The words repeated in her mind and she felt herself grow warm, heart starting to beat louder in her chest and she felt light all of a sudden. Tears came to her eyes, thinking about the amount of consideration and love that had gone in to Yang's every move towards her before now that she hadn't noticed properly. Fully thinking about Blake before herself.

"E-Ehm.. B-Blake? You okay? Was that too soon? Y-You don't have to answer I just.. Wanted to tell you. Ehm.. Oh dust Blake don't cry." She blinked, seeing the blonde lean away but tried to soothingly brush her thumbs over her cheeks. She tried to think of a life without Yang but couldn't. She'd known it before but now she really felt it. Yang was her light, her sunshine. She'd be lost to the darkness again without her.

Yang was the person she wanted to see when she woke up. She knew she could always rely on her for warmth and comfort no matter when she needed it. The feeling of safety she felt in Yang's arms was something she'd never felt, not when she was in the White Fang, not with Adam. Wanting to always see her smile, see her happy, and feeling despair whenever she was in pain. Wanting to be her rock to lean on when she needed it. It all just amounted to one thing.

"Blake? If you're not there yet it's fine I just-" Blake grabbed Yang's cheeks, pulling her into a passionate kiss. Surprised, it took Yang a second of two to answer, placing her hands down by Blake's hips. And when she felt a tongue lick her bottom lip tentatively she hesitated but when she looked into Blake's eyes there was awareness and a question. A question she answered by closing her eyes and opening her mouth slowly.

Their tongues met carefully, testing the waters with slow movements against each other. But they soon became bolder, Yang especially who started to try invading Blake's mouth. Not having any qualms about it Blake let her as she let her own eyes close, resisting a moan as her partner explored.

Yang let her hands wander up to her waist just slightly underneath her top, nails going over her skin as she pulled her closer. Blake let a small whimper escape her at the move and it only fueled the fire. Almost literally with the way Yang's aura was flaring up her body, harmless sparks coming off her.

She didn't care how cliché it sounded. It felt so good. She wanted to get Blake to make that sound again, but she refused to move her hands any more than this. If she did she was afraid of how far they'd go because there was no way she'd be able to resist. Especially not if Blake continued to react so adorably. So instead she let her nails go over her skin and once again, together with a twitch of her legs, Blake whimpered.

Yang noticed the tremble in her legs and breaking the kiss she flipped their positions, pressing the faunus against the door. They panted but one look into each other's eyes told them enough and their lips engaged each other again. Blake grabbed a hold of Yang's collar, her other hand burying itself into the blond tresses to press closer. Yang's aura flared again as another soft whimper left Blake when the blonde licked the roof of her mouth. Violet eyes darkened but she tried to keep her thoughts focused. Damn it Blake.. How am I supposed to hold back if you do that? She tightened her hold on Blake, however before her hands could wander the sudden pull on the door handle startled them.

"Ops, sorry!" A muffled voice came through and they separated fully, snapping out of their daze. Panting, their foreheads touched as they tried to catch their breath. Both set of eyes were clouded over, staring into each other. Yang blinked several times, trying to remember what she'd said before this.

"S-So ehm.. Was that.. I mean.. Do you.. What was I saying? " Blake smiled, amused as Yang tripped over her words, overwhelmed by what just happened. To silence her and to confirm she gave a lingering kiss to her lips before speaking.

"I love you too." Yang's eyes widened and her mouth opened in disbelief. She said it? She felt just like she did? Already? Everything was good? She must have stayed silent for too long as Blake waved a hand in front of her with a concerned expression.

"Yang? You okay?" A blinding grin was her answer and arms wrapped tightly around her back to move her from the door and lift her up to spin around once, a very happy laughter coming from the blonde.

"You kidding? I'm ecstatic!" She let Blake down only to cup her cheeks and kiss her again, grin showing through it. She acted like she'd said yes to marriage or something. But it only made Blake smile fondly, warmth welling up from her chest as she brushed her hands across the sides of Yang's face to move away some of her hair. The kiss started turning to the deeper side, the blonde tilting her head just slightly for more access. Though a swift knock on the door made them both jump, remembering they were still in a public toilet.

"You okay in there?" Must be one of the employees.

"Yup, fine, be out in a minute!" Yang called, hearing a grunt and footsteps walking away. Breathing out the blonde smiled sheepishly and cleared her throat. "I guess we should get out. Ruby and the others must be worried by now." Blake, who was blushing a bit nodded and stepped away. Yang let out a breath and went to kiss Blake's temple before turning around to the sink. "To look less suspicious you can go out first. I have to fix my hair and cover these anyway." Amber eyes fell on her neck, seeing the two dark marks very clearly on the otherwise flawless skin. She blushed and looked away, feeling both shame and embarrassment.

"S-Sorry.." Yang shook her head.

"Nothing to apologize for kitten. It's just proof I'm yours." She turned her head to wink at her, earning a bigger blush from the faunus.

"I wasn't apologizing just for that.." She mumbled but Yang just waved it away.

"I'm teasing. Though it doesn't make it less true." Blake mumbled something inaudible and was about to walk out the door but stopped herself. The thought of that dog faunus still being outside churned her insides and made her hair stand on end. So, with a swift turn around she walked straight up to Yang, wrapped her arms around her waist and buried her head into her back. "Blake? You alright?"

"Yeah.. Just making sure my scent sticks to you. To warn certain unwanted people." A flashback to the girl at the bar came to Yang and she smiled, turning around in Blake's arms to nuzzle their noses together.

"Blake, I love you and only you." At the three words Blake's posture relaxed and her eyes softened. She pushed their foreheads together and closed her eyes with a content sigh.

"I love you too." It felt just as good finally saying it as it did hearing it. And with the grin Yang got on her face she bet the feeling was mutual.

"And others will just have to deal with that this dragon has been tamed and claimed already.. Hey! That rhymed!" Blake snickered.

"You dork."

"Likable dork." Blake shook her head and kissed her nose.

"I would say lovable is more appropriate." Yang blinked, her mildly shocked expression soon turning into a grinning one as she hugged her tightly and kissed her temple.

"Now who's being the dork?" Blake separated herself from the brawler and walked to the door.

"Still you." She then walked out, a tingling feeling in her stomach and her chest light. Smiling she graced her lips with her fingers. Yang loved her. The confirmation still made her feel lightheaded. She felt like a lovestruck teen. How could she ever had doubted her? Yeah.. How could I have done that? Her mind turned sour at the reminder. How could I be so stupid? I should have asked her when she came into the dorm. Not assume the worst.

Memories of how she'd struggled with getting Adam to understand the same thing came to mind. And she shuddered at the thought of becoming like him. Of course he never truly meant it when he apologized for his behaviour as it happened just the next day again, getting more violent by the day. She breathed out but noticed how her body had begun to slightly tremble. Cursing under her breath she tried to stop, hugging herself but it only seemed to make it worse. No. Stop comparing everything to Adam. We're working through this together. I'm not him and neither is she. Just, stop.

Closing her eyes and shaking her head she tried to clear her mind but it wandered to the similarities between her reaction and Adam's anyway. Even to how much further she'd gone if Yang hadn't stopped her. I wouldn't do that. Just, calm down. Though as she took another deep breath, arms wrapped around her waist and she twitched, picture of Adam in her head but the warm and soothing aura that enveloped her washed it away.

"It's okay Blake.. I'm here." She wasn't sure how Yang knew she needed such soft and comforting words but didn't care at the moment and just leaned back into her. The fact they were in public seemed irrelevant right now and she barely noticed. "I'm not going anywhere." Blake released a breath she wasn't aware she was holding, body slowly relaxing as all bad thoughts were pushed back by Yang's words. Soon a low purr came up her throat and Yang kissed her temple before placing her chin on Blake's shoulder. "There's my kitten." Another deep breath and Blake rested her hands on Yang's arms.

"How do you know when I need you?" The blonde tilted her head down to kiss her shoulder before nuzzling the side of her head.

"When I see similar behaviour from that night. It's not something I want to see. Because it means you're thinking bad thoughts again. Thoughts you shouldn't think about because they won't happen. Not before this and especially not now that I know how much you care." Blake clenched her hands. She turned around in Yang's arms and closed her eyes while she buried her face into the blond tresses, trying to expel any other thoughts of Adam with the blonde's scent.

"How can you be so sure?" Yang smiled, leaning her head on Blake's as she released more of her warmth.

"I'm not. But I know for sure that whatever happens.. There's gonna take a lot for me to leave you." Blake's hold tightened.

"I'm sorry.. I only seem to be a bother to you today.." Yang shook her head.

"It's gonna be alright. I was hurt but we'll work through it. I'm not leaving you." She kissed the side of Blake's head. "I love you." She whispered and Blake let out a deep breath. How could one person be so warm and understanding? I don't deserve you. Was her thought but she quickly expelled it, selfishly deciding that it didn't matter because she couldn't possibly separate from her now. So she pushed all bad thoughts to the back of her mind, trying to focus on Yang's scent and warmth to help in the task. However before questions about what exactly she'd thought about could be asked she felt Yang stiffen, and she soon heard why.

"Hey hot stuff. And kitty cat." She stifled a growl as she turned her head to the same dog faunus from before. "Oh, please don't let me disturb your.. Well I can't see what you're doing. So I guess you're succeeding in being sneaky about it." Blake clenched her hands and turned to face the girl, one hand once again on Yang's hip to keep her behind her.

"Blake.." She gave Yang a glance, violet looking mildly concerned that this would go about as well as the last time. Blake loosened her grip, eyes softening as she took a deep breath. She let her hand drop so she could cross her arms.

"What do you want?" She asked calmly, catching the other girl off guard.

"Huh, not gonna hiss at me this time kitten?" She narrowed her eyes briefly.

"Do not call me that. No one can call me that except-" Yang wrapped her arms around Blake's waist with a smirk.

"Only I can call her that." The brunette raised a brow.

"And that make it less offensive?" She slurred.

"She's my girlfriend, pet names comes with the territory. Eh, actually, that sounds offensive sorry Blake. Nicknames would have been a better word." Blake chuckled and patted Yang's arm.

"It's okay. I know you don't mean anything by it. But are we done here? Because we'd like to go back to our friends. And you better go outside for some fresh air." She looked like she wanted to say something else, face in a frown. However words caught in her throat as Yang's eyes turned red, hair flaring just slightly. It was heating up but not in the pleasant way.

"You heard her. Get out. Now." Blake was also staring at her, eyes slightly narrowed. People around them started to whisper. Ooh someone angered the dragon. This won't be pretty. If I was her I'd get out real fast. The dog faunus heard them, gulped and backed away.

"Alright, I'm good now anyway. Have a nice day." She said, sounding rather sober before disappearing into the crowd. Yang blinked, eyes back to violet and hair sizzling down.

"Thought you didn't want to cause a scene."

"Well if I didn't she would have made a bigger one. Besides you were right there with me." Blake just chuckled before turning her head to look Yang in the eyes.

"So.. Girlfriend?" The blonde smiled sheepishly, rubbing her neck nervously.

"Aren't you?" The faunus turned in her grip again, letting her hands cup her face.

"Let's see.. We do things most couples do. I love you. And hearing you say it made me happy. So yeah." The dorkiest smile came to Yang's face. So adorable. Blake thought with a smile of her own as she pulled the blonde closer. "You're such a dork."

"Loveable dork." She chuckled, ready to pull her in for a brief kiss however a shrill voice they both recognized cut through the crowd making them separate quickly, Yang leaving her arm around Blake's shoulders.

"Blake! Yang!" Through the crowd came Weiss, counting herself lucky she'd been able to get a glimpse of Yang's aura in the crowd before it disappeared. Thanks to how big the crowd around them were however it took her awhile to actually get to them. "Where have you two been?" Weiss was now in front of them, both leaning back because despite Weiss being the smallest of the team her presence towered over them.

"Ehm.. Some drunk spilled a drink on me. Blake helped me clean up. Left some red marks from the cleaning though so.." Yang gestured to the purple cloth around her neck. Weiss looked at it then raised a brow.

"Wait the girl Neptune left you with spilled her drink on you?" Yang chuckled.

"She was a pretty clumsy flirt. But yeah." She squeezed Blake's shoulder who just smiled with a small nod. Weiss sighed and shook her head.

"Nevermind.. Come on." They started walking back as Weiss continued her scolding. "We were getting worried. Ruby went searching for you and some drunk idiot started talking to her." Yang immediately switched gears and narrowed her eyes.

"Who? Where is he? Who dares-" Weiss stopped, checked something, frowned and turned to them, pointing to a certain corner of the bar. And upon looking that way Yang defused instantly. Since the guy, who looked very displeased, had two other men around him trying to slowly get his legs out from a block of ice. She looked back at Weiss with a raised brow and the heiress looked away.

"I was not going to let such a vulgar and uncouth man talk to Ruby. The dolt would certainly agree to whatever he said. He was being rude and barbaric with his words and he obviously needed to cool down and sober up." Yang smirked.

"So Weiss put him on ice?" The heiress gave her a glare.

"Do not pull puns with me." She laughed.

"I didn't, I said that properly. But thanks Weiss, I knew you cared." Weiss grumbled.

"Of course I do I'm her partner.. And I'm not gonna let some drunk oaf talk to my rose.." The last sentence was almost inaudible.

"What was that?" She blushed and shook her head.

"Nothing! Just come on before Ruby comes to try and find all of us and get lost or worse get in trouble." She turned around swiftly and almost powerwalked to their table. Blake glanced at Yang, seeing the smirk coming before it fully formed on her face.

"Yang I know what you're thinking and no, just leave it alone." The blonde shrugged, sliding her hand down to Blake's.

"Alright, but only cause it's you." When they came back to the table and sat down Sun was on them in an instant.

"Where'd you two go? You missed my performance!" There was a slight slur to his tone and Yang raised a brow.

"Sun, are you okay?" He grinned, hanging onto Neptune who also seemed a bit out of it. "

"Never better! Or I would be better if Blake had seen my singing skilz, but that's fine. What bout you Nep?"

"Oh yeah, I'm fine too. Dude we talked about going up and singing our junior detectives theme song. Still up for it?" Sun stood with his hands raised.

"Yes! I be no chicken!" Though he quickly sat back down as he lost his balance. Yang facepalmed and shook her head.

"Seriously? There was almost no alcohol in your drinks." Both boys looked confused.

"Huh? You sayin we're drunk?"

"Nah man. We're fine. Right?"

"Totally dude." Yang stood and so did Ruby.

"Trust me, when it comes to seeing when you've had enough, we know. Though at least uncle Qrow could handle himself a little better."

"Looks like we'll have to cut the night short." Yang leaned towards Weiss and Ruby. "We'll have to come back here without the guys sometime." She grabbed the two by their shirts and heaved them up on her shoulders. "Come on, everything is paid for already so we can just leave."

"Hey, we can walk." Sun complained but made no real effort to get out of the blonde's grip. Yang only patted their backs.

"Yeah sure you can." They got out of the bar, Blake walking beside Yang while the other two walked a bit behind.

"Yang you sure you can carry them all the way?" Weiss asked when she saw the blonde readjust her hold.

"Oh yeah I'll be fine, these two are really light compared to Qrow."

"Pardon?" Ruby skipped over to Yang's side and walked backwards to look at Weiss.

"Yang always carried uncle Qrow and sometimes dad on top of that back to the house from the bar. And that while they were bickering like children."

"Seriously?" Yang chuckled.

"Yup, once I actually had to knock them both down cause Qrow planned on launching our dad into the air with the help of his scythe.. Said he'd fly up and catch him so there was nothing to worry about. And our dad agreed." Ruby looked up to the sky and crossed her arms.

"Yeah I still wonder how dad agreed that that would work even if he was drunk."

"Well that explains where Ruby gets her crazy ideas from. And why you always agree to them." Ruby pouted while Yang laughed.

"I'll give you that one ice queen. I can tell even with Neptune's butt in the way that you're giving me a look and don't. She does have a point Ruby." Said girl grumbled something inaudible and backed up to walked beside Weiss again. Suddenly Sun moved a little and glanced over at Blake, smiling as he spoke with a small slur.

"Hey Blake have I told you how pretty you are? Cause you are. Especially that bu-" But before he could finish Yang stopped and grabbed his tail with a clear threat to squeeze.

"Sun finish that sentence and I will tie you to a pole by your tail and leave you there. And Neptune if I so much as hear Weiss's name drop from your mouth I'm throwing you into the ocean. You will say nothing crude about them like you're a couple of drunk jerks. Are we clear?" The two tensed and looked oddly sober as the next words left them.

"Y-Yes mam!" With narrowed eyes Yang let go of the tail and continued walking. Now with two very silent boys on top of her shoulders. Both Weiss and Blake looked thankfully at the brawler, Ruby wondering what exactly Sun was going to say. They were silent for the whole trip back to Beacon.

"You guys go to the dorm, I'll take these two back to their room." Yang said and while her sister and Weiss started walking back Blake stuck by her side.

"I'll go with you." Smiling the blonde nodded. They dropped off the boys, their team members looking like they'd have fun with this in the morning. As soon as the door shut and the two started walking back Blake grabbed a hold of Yang's hand, wasting no time in intertwining their fingers.

"Admit it, you just came with me to have some alone time." Yang teased but instead of blushing in embarrassment Blake smiled fondly and brought their joined hands up to kiss the back of Yang's hand.

"Yeah, I admit it." Not prepared for such a direct and honest reply the blonde blushed. "Something wrong with that?" Yang shook her head quickly and smiled sheepishly.

"N-No I just.. Wasn't prepared for you to.. I mean.. Ugh.. No it's fine." Blake snickered as the blonde tripped over her words yet again. But instead of teasing her about it Blake decided to just get closer to her so she was basically hugging her arm.

"Thanks for interrupting Sun back there." Yang huffed and squeezed her hand.

"Of course. Couldn't let him say that in front of my innocent sister. Oh and only I'm allowed to compliment that." She refrained from saying what specifically since she didn't want to sound crude. Blake rolled her eyes but leaned her head on Yang's shoulder. They walked back to the dorm in a comfortable silence.

Though when they walked into the dorm they were met with a soft melody. And looking to Ruby's bed with said girl on it with closed eyes and Weiss sat at the edge, singing a lullaby. And, though blushing, she didn't stop despite their arrival. So the two just silently changed clothes, both getting in their bed. Yang leaned over the bed's edge and closed her eyes as she listened to the song while Blake sat in hers with a book on her lap. It didn't take long until every member of team RWBY fell asleep to Weiss's soft singing.

Me: Hopefully some of you get what I was saying with the Qrow thing hehe.. Here you go! I kid you flippin not, almost this whole chapter was done hours after I published the last one but I couldn't publish it. Cause I wasn't fully satisfied and there's been so many freakin corrections and me rewriting scenarios, especially their little moment, and I'm finally.. 90% satisfied with it. Which is more than usual.

Blake: Shouldn't you publish when you're fully satisfied?

Me: I would but then this chapter, or any other chapter for that matter, would never get published. Cause you always have that small feeling of wanting to change something. At least now I'm feeling good about publishing it. But thanks to the rewriting and stuff this chapter became longer than initially planned so.. Yay! Though I apologize for the abrupt ending, couldn't find a good place to stop so I had to make one.

Yang: Well it mutt be ruff around the edges, but at leashed you've worked hard.

Me/Blake: ...

Yang: I know my puns are corgi but can't you pretend to like em? I'm begging you. Nothing?

Me: Okay why all the dog puns?

Yang: Well I couldn't make em in story cause it'd be disrepectful but I figured here'd it'd be fine right?

Me: I'm going straight to hell..

Yang: Well I'm going pup to heaven.

Me: Blake quickly say your line so she stops!

Blake: Review with thougths and ideas for future chapters. She reads every one and answers the ones she can when she can. Send her a PM if you don't feel like reviewing.

Yang: Can I just say-

Me: No! No you can't! *pushes Blake into a separate room* Now say what you're suppose to or I will have you two separated.

Yang: *panics* Seeyouallnextchapterbye! *rushes into the room* Wolf can be scary..

Blake: You did that to yourself. Now come on let's cuddle.

Me: *closes door* Jeezum.. This AN turned out longer than I should have..

BTW the idea for the group date to the bar I got from Wolf Eyes and the idea for the dog faunus I got from Sinnerlust. Thanks guys! And we've almost reached a 100 favorites! Plus 130 followers! Yay!

Also I apologize for slow upddates. I'm dealing with some stuff IRL that's hindering progess and my inspiration a fair bit. So please be patient with me.
