"S-She wouldn't stop begging me about it so I just did it to make her stop!" Weiss tried to explain to Yang, the two of them on their way to get breakfast for their two sleepy partners. Somehow on weekends when she knew she didn't have to wake up early, Blake in particular liked to cozy up in bed extra long. Reminding everyone of a cat having a lazy day. And it being a weekend Ruby wasn't even trying to wake up. So, Yang and Weiss had unintentionally made it a habit to wake up at a decent time to get their sleeping partners breakfast on weekends.
Or rather it had been a habit of Yang's, taking care of them like any big sister figure would, but Weiss decided to join her a couple weeks ago for some reason. It confused Yang a little since she'd gotten the impression Weiss wasn't much for her company. Though she decided, after her initial question of this behaviour ended with Weiss coming up with an excuse with a red face for some reason, that she wouldn't question the heiress further and just leave it alone. No matter how many times she asked she'd probably just get a dishonest reply anyway.
Like right now. Sighing as Weiss started up yet another reason for her kind gesture of singing to Ruby last night, Yang held up a hand, stopping her in her tracks.
"Weiss, I may tease you but please.. I don't need an explanation or excuse for every little moment you decide to be nice to my sister. Or anyone for that matter. It just means you're being.. Well.. Nice. Which last time I checked was a good thing that didn't need an excuse." Weiss opened her mouth to either protest or agree but was never able to as a certain other blond called for them.
"Hey Weiss! Yang!" They both turned their heads around, seeing Jaune and Pyrrha come running up to them.
"Hey guys, what's up?" Yang asked, watching the blond boy catch his breath as Pyrrha stood and waited for him to do so, not looking to have broken a sweat.
"We're.. We're on our way to the.. To the cafeteria. Getting Ren and Nora some breakfast. Imagine our surprise when we saw you guys going to do the same thing." Jaune said with a nervous smile.
"How'd you know we were getting breakfast?" Weiss asked with a sceptical raise of her brow and the boy scratched his neck nervously.
"Well I.. I mean it's not like I've noticed how you two have gone to do that every weekend.." Yang resisted a roll of her eyes. It was painfully obvious what was going on here and she felt sorry for Pyrrha to have to stand and watch. She cast a glance at Weiss who did not look in the mood for the daily awkward Jaune flirting.
"Shall I go on ahead Weiss?" She couldn't help but tease her a little and the small but noticeable glare she got in response got her smiling.
"I'll go with you.. If so.." Pyrrha said, a bit reluctantly everyone, but Jaune, noticed. The blond seemed flustered at the thought of being alone with Weiss and as he stood there rambling nonsense Weiss cast Yang a look she rarely saw. Please don't leave me alone with this. It was almost pleading, plus some unknown emotion behind that which Yang couldn't quite place. Mulling it over she decided to help out the heiress on account of sparing Pyrrha of having to leave her crush with Weiss. Plus the fact she thought she owed Weiss a bit since she was so nice to her sister yesterday.
"Ops, hold that thought." She said suddenly, picking up her scroll and cycling through her messages. "Ah, Ruby's awake, and wow is she in desperate need of cookies. Sorry me and Weiss are gonna have to get goin and carry as many cookies as we can. See you later!" Yang grabbed Weiss by the wrist and pulled her along the hall in a small sprint. She received a small high pitched "hey" of protest which made her sigh and turn her head. "I'm trying to help so just get moving princess." She whispered and the disapproving look quickly faded from Weiss's face.
"O-Oh okay! See you.. Later.. Ah man.." Jaune mumbled while Pyrrha only smiled at Yang's antics. Well in the cafeteria Yang let go of Weiss and grinned at her.
"Better?"
"Yeah.. Thanks.." Weiss mumbled, straightening out her sleeve.
"No probs, you got my sister's back when I don't and I might as well have yours when my sister can't. Plus, we're friends. Though you should just straight out tell him you're not interested. That's what I always do." Weiss looked to want to say something but hesitated to do so. "Weiss being speechless ain't your thing. Come on speak up."
"Yang when it comes to Ruby.. Let's say hypothetically that she's dating someone.. What would you-" Yang halted immediately.
"What? Who? Where? When? How? Oh I'm gonna-"
"Yang! Do you know what hypothetically means?" Weiss snapped, cutting off the blonde's ramble.
"Yes! But usually when people say that it actually means it's happening right?" Well she's not wrong.. Weiss thought with a nervous gulp.
"No just.. I was just asking. But from your reaction I suppose you'd see it as a bad thing?" Yang crossed her arms, looking a little sheepish.
"W-Well no.. I'm just.. Well.. She's my little sister. It's just natural I'd be protective of her. And dating that's a big thing. I wouldn't want her to end up with someone that would take advantage of that innocence of hers. Like you said yesterday with that drunk. My sister would have probably tried to help him not knowing what he really wanted! I mean right?" Weiss couldn't deny that. She had pried Ruby away from him when she saw that he tried to get her to help him outside. "Whenever Ruby starts dating.. I'm just hoping she gets someone who really cares for her. Kinda like you do although you deny it." The heiress blushed but didn't say against it this time, making Yang smile. "Though I will say one thing.."
"What?" Yang's eyes darkened as she looked away, crossing her arms.
"If they ever think of hurting Ruby I'll personally make them regret ever laying eyes on her." Weiss flinched at the dark tone Yang used, feeling an aura of fury coming from the blonde. Though as quickly as she felt it it was gone and Yang turned back to her with a grin. "Welp let's go grab some food." She walked away from Weiss who cautiously followed her, like she was expecting her to turn around and accuse her of something.
They separated the food on two trays, Yang having hers and Blake's food while Weiss had hers and Rubys. And as they exited, Weiss catching a glimpse of Jaune and Pyrrha making her dodge out extra quick which made Yang laugh, the blonde asked her something.
"Why'd you wanna know how I felt about it anyway?" She asked making Weiss go rigid, not prepared to answer that. She couldn't possibly say that she asked because she wanted to know for when Ruby would tell her about them could she? No, Ruby wanted to be the one to tell her big sister the news. Although now Weiss was scared for her life when she would tell. What if Yang didn't approve? Teasing her about being with Ruby and finding out it was actually the case were two different things entirely. "Ehm.. Weiss?"
"Y-You really care about Ruby huh?" She tried, wanting to switch the subject.
"That's a weird question of course I do. She's my little sister. The only one I've got." Weiss fiddled a bit with the tray. "You got a big sister too don't you? She's the same right?" At the mention of Winter the heiress tensed her shoulders and straightened her posture out of habit.
"Hardly.. I feel like I always have to be at my best with her. I have to show her I can fend for myself. She's better than most of my family though.. I know she cares, she wouldn't be so hard on me if she didn't right? But to say my relationship with Winter is miles away from being like the relationship you have with Ruby would be an understatement." Yang gave her a glance over, seeing her sudden rigid posture and drawn in body language. Sighing the blonde gave her a small but friendly shove.
"You weren't that different from how you describe her when we met. But look at you now." She gave the friendliest smile she could. "You sing to Ruby when she asks, you read with Blake and converse about the books, you may not have warmed up fully to me and my puns yet but we're obviously getting there. Otherwise I wonder why you come with me on these breakfast trips." Weiss took on a sheepish expression for a second before she returned to a serious one. "Anyway what I suppose I'm saying is. Despite still being a bit of an ice queen, you're not as cold as you were before. That's what friends are for right? To warm you up." An actual smile came to Weiss's face, her body relaxing and she stopped fidgeting.
"Thanks.. Again." Yang grinned and bumped her a bit with her shoulder.
"No problem. I'm primarily Blake's partner and you should talk to Ruby about this stuff too. But I'm here if you need to talk. Apparently I've become the team therapist if that's the right word." The smile was kept on Weiss face, although turning slightly sheepish.
"I suppose this is how it's like having a big sister that cares too much.." Weiss however mumbled that, afraid of what Yang would say if she actually admitted it out loud.
"Hm? What was that?"
"Nothing, are we getting this food back or what?" And it was back to the same old Weiss. Though the blonde didn't complain, merely followed with a small fond smile. They walked back to the dorm in an unusually comfortable silence, Weiss more relaxed in her posture then she normally was around the blonde.
Yang decided for once not to tease her about actually warming up to her as they walked into the dorm. Putting down the tray on the bookshelf beside Blake's bed she watched Weiss put down her own on the desk then climbing up to wake her partner. Yang turned her eyes away and sat down on Blake's bed, reaching her hand to softly caress the soft cheek with the back of her fingers.
"Blake." The cat faunus stirred, moving her head towards the touch. Smiling fondly Yang glanced over at Weiss, seeing her busy shaking Ruby awake so she quickly leaned down to give her temple a quick peck. "Wake up kitten." She whispered and the amber eyes fluttered open, looking very drowsy mind you. Absolutely gorgeous and cute at the same time. Yang thought, having to use all her willpower not to lean down and kiss her properly.
"You're warm.." Blake mumbled and Yang leaned down.
"What?" Arms shot out from the covers and pulled her down on the bed. "B-Blake?" The faunus hummed and buried her face into the crook of her neck, arms now lazily placed around the blonde's stomach.
"Don't move.." She mumbled drowsily, obviously in the process of falling back asleep now that she felt Yang's warmth.
"Ehm, I would but we have company and we brought breakfast." Blake shook her head while also rubbing her nose against Yang's neck. She stubbornly tightened her hold with another mumble.
"Don't care.. Cuddles now.."
"Yang? You're suppose to wake her up not sleep with her." Yang turned her head to Weiss who was holding up Ruby so she wouldn't fall over again.
"She seems to have mistaken me for a tuna."
"How on remnant is that possible?"
"Happens easily when you're half awake. For example, Rubes give me a hug!" Ruby mumbled an affirmative and latched onto Weiss making her shriek.
"R-Ruby that's me you dolt!" But despite this Ruby pulled Weiss with her down on the bed again with inaudible mumbles. "Ruby!" Yang chuckled.
"See how easy it is?" Weiss would have glared at the blonde if not for the fact Ruby leaned in to kiss her.
"R-Ruby?" Silver eyes opened and winked at her before giving her a light peck.
"I was already awake." She whispered and the heiress blushed heavily and sighed.
"You almost give me a heart attack then you do this?" While the two of them whispered to each other Yang turned her head back to Blake when she felt her scarf get pulled down. Lips pressed softly to the marks still visible on her neck.
"Awake?" She asked softly and amber eyes turned up to her more aware than before.
"Sort of.." Blake lift her head just slightly to look over at Ruby's bed. The two of them were still down for the count. So she let out a breath, closing her eyes as she lied her head back down. She also covered them both with her blanket to be sure.
"Blake?"
"Still sleepy.." She opened one eye to give the blonde a look before closing again. Yang became a bit confused but after Blake turned her head a little to make her face more visible she glanced down at her lips automatically.
"Oh.." A sound of realization came out and she grinned. Of course, the sleeping beauty won't wake up unless kissed was it? Blake you're so cute! But enough stalling. Blake soon felt Yang cup her cheeks and warmth was transferred the instant their lips touched. She leaned into it as the blonde was going to retreat, wanting more of something she knew she couldn't have right now. But that didn't stop her from making it longer than Yang had intended. Not like she was complaining.
"Yang Xiao Long you are not indulging Blake in more sleep are you?" Yang cut off from Blake to chuckle and pushed the blanket down so she could sit up.
"Like you indulge my sister in hugs you say you don't want?" Weiss blushed heavily, jumping off Ruby's bed and pointing to it.
"I did not-She-There was nothing-" The blonde shook her head and sighed.
"Okay seriously Weiss.. What did I just say in the hallway? Being nice needs no excuse or explanation! And there's no shame in getting hugs from a friend. Blake hugged me like a big tuna and you don't see me blubbering excuses. By the way Blake you give great hugs." She winked at her partner, grin on her face clearly indicating she didn't just mean her hugs.
"Thanks for the unusual compliment." Blake answered as she sat up as well, stretching her arms out as Yang turned to the bookshelf to grab their tray. Weiss mumbled something inaudible, going over to the desk to grab her and Ruby's breakfast. The four of them discussed a little what had happened the night prior and what they'd be doing today. Weiss was, as usual, planning to study in the library and Ruby was going to go hang out with Jaune as she had promised him they'd train together.
"Since Nora and Ren are going out today and Pyrrha is going to study with Weiss he asked if I could help him train. Leader to leader!" Ruby said, puffing out her chest proudly and Yang chuckled.
"Just don't hurt him too bad. And remember Ruby both you and him could benefit not only with weapon training but hand to hand too." Her sister pouted and crossed her arms.
"I know! Just eh.. Since we're no good at it who's gonna teach us? Wait.. Yang you're not-"
"Nope, don't have time to babysit you. Going to the city for a quick spell to pick up something. But.." Yang took out her scroll, sent a quick text, got a reply and grinned. "There, Coco have agreed to help. She and her team had planned practice anyway." Ruby flinched, not looking pleased by the news one bit.
"Gee, thanks.." Weiss drank her tea and stood.
"Your sister has a point for once Ruby. I'll come check up on you when I take a break. For no other reason than to make sure the two of you don't slack off." Ruby seemed to brighten up a bit at that. You could almost see the dog tail swish back and forth.
"Right, no other reason.. Anyway I have to hurry and get goin." Yang said and stood from her seat, grabbing her helmet and sunglasses. Blake stood as well to suggest accompanying her.
"Yang-"
"See ya!" But Yang reatreated out the door before she finished. Blake furrowed her brows in a small confused frown. Why the hurry? Sighing she ignored the small looks the other two gave her, quickly changed, grabbed her latest book and walked out.
"Did the two of them fight?" Ruby asked and Weiss shrugged.
"Have no idea. Anyway I'm going to the library." Weiss leaned down and kissed Ruby longingly since there was no one but them in the room. Might as well take the chance. "Practice hard and depending on your progress I might consider giving you a reward." Ruby's eyes gleamed and she nodded enthusiastically looking like an excited puppy. Too cute..
Blake turned the page in her book but hadn't really read the words at all. She was busy thinking about what exactly Yang was doing and what could possibly require such haste. Part of her wondered if it had something to do with what happened last night. Could she still be upset? She of course wouldn't blame her if she was. She had gone way out of bounds with that accusation. Wait no stop. You know what happens when you assume like this without asking her first. Just calm down and wait for her to get back.. She sighed and leaned back against the tree she was sitting by and closed her eyes. Listening to the noises around her she heard small bits of conversation between students and the chirping of birds. It helped calm her nerves and she relaxed a bit.
"Have.. Seen.. Blake?" She opened her eyes when she heard her name and looked to where it came from. And to her slight surprise it was Neptune. She thought both him and Sun would be out for the count today with what happened yesterday. Though when she looked closer she saw his hair had a few hairs sticking out from the usual tidy hairstyle, indicating he was just a bit too tired to care. Sunglasses covered his eyes and his overall posture was hunched. He finally saw her though and waved, walking over to her and making sure to stand in the shade.
"Neptune are you sure you should be out?" He groaned and shook his head carefully.
"No but I had to talk to Yang and she's usually near you.. Though I can see I'm out of luck." Like she had no control Blake's eyes narrowed just a little and she raised a brow.
"What for?" He shrugged, rubbing his temple.
"Eh.. Something Sun asked her to do for me. With how things might've gone yesterday I really need that advice.. Can't say I remember last night very well.. But it's bad enough to know I actually got drunk.." Blake dropped her narrowed look, cursing herself for even making it and thought back. Remembering, with a bitter taste in her mouth, during their fight Yang told her what Sun had really asked her to do.
"Advice about Weiss right?" He sighed and nodded.
"Yeah, I should really just man up and ask her myself. I just get nervous easily."
"Well Yang is in Vale and I'm not sure when she's coming back. I could message her if you want." He shook his head and turned around.
"Nah that's okay, I need to get back inside cause the sun is killing me. Besides I need to tell Sun something now. See ya." He walked away and she once again leaned back on the tree and took a deep breath.
However she soon heard the familiar hum of a certain motorbike and turned her eyes to see Yang stopping her bike not far away from her. She was smiling as she took off the helmet and sunglasses, making sure her right hand was behind her back away from Blake's view. Watching her as she walked closer Blake tilted her head with curiosity, wondering what exactly made Yang look so excited. Finally the blonde was in front of her and she closed her book to give her full attention.
Grinning now, Yang crouched down and finally reached out her right hand. Blake's eyes widened at the sight of a small bouquet of violet roses.
"I know it's cheesy but since I know you love reading sappy romance novels I thought this would be the perfect way to ask. Though I did have to hurry and get these so we'd have as much time as possible so sorry for my abrupt exit."
"Huh?" Yang pulled the roses back as she took out a pair of tickets from her pocket and waved them around.
"It took me a while but I found the sappiest romance movie I could find and wondered if you'd like to go with me? As in.." She reached out the flowers again. "Will you go on a date with me?" Blake blinked, a bit shocked over the sudden question. She soon recovered however, reaching out to grab the flowers then looked at Yang who just grinned. So she went to get these just to do it like this? I really need to stop being so paranoid.. A fond smile came to her lips and she held the flowers close while giving Yang a loving look. "That a yes?" Blake snickered and brought up a hand to caress the blonde's cheek.
"Of course you dork." Yang's grin widened and she stood up to fist pump.
"Yes! And that's lovable dork. The movie starts later today. Thought you'd enjoy a stroll through the park first? Got a picnic planned if you want. Otherwise we can go chill at a cafe for a bit. I know a place with great chamomile tea." Blake couldn't help the fond smile that came to her lips. Yang had taken into account what Blake liked so she only suggested things she knew the faunus would enjoy. Not in one suggestion was there a question of going to a club or dance bar where the blonde usually thrived. Because she knew Blake wasn't much for crowded and loud places like that.
"Yang." Her partner silenced, looking expectant and Blake couldn't help but giggle. "A picnic sounds great. Let's just go and get these in water." Yang nodded quickly, a very happy and excited expression on her face. She helped Blake up and they walked back to the dorm so she could put the roses in a vase that she placed on the desk. "Why did you go with violet?" Yang smiled and reached out to caress Blake's hair.
"Well, while you may see your semblance and everything as black as darkness. I'd like to think you're more vibrant violet. So, I got the color of roses that fits you the best." And before she could react, Blake grabbed the hand and pulled her over into a kiss. She kissed back, though only briefly since Blake pulled away. Leaning their foreheads together Yang looked at her playfully as she placed her free hand on her partner's hip. "What was that for?" For being way too good for me.. Blake thought but instead of voicing it she closed her eyes with a content smile.
"Do I have to have a reason to kiss you?" She asked, moving her hand so she could intertwine their fingers.
"Well no I guess not." Yang pecked her lips making her open her eyes to see a playful grin. "I certainly don't need one."
"Dork."
"Yeah well-" Blake cut her off with another kiss, smile showing through.
"You're my dork, I love you." The sudden declaration had Yang blushing and it took her awhile to recover enough to get any words out. It amused Blake how easily she could get her to this state.
"Right.. Well.. Yeah okay I can live with that." Blake chuckled then spun out of the blonde's grip to head for the doorway.
"Shall we head out?" Yang cleared her throat and walked briskly up to the door and opened it, letting Blake go first.
"We shall milady." The faunus held back a giggle and merely smiled at her partner's antics. You really are such a dork. They walked out back to Yang's bike where the blonde once again handed Blake the helmet.
"You know if this is gonna become a more frequent thing I really think a second helmet would be better than you always going without one." Blake mentioned as she put it on, getting behind Yang on the bike.
"You sayin I need one cause I'll make us crash?"
"No, but just as it makes you feel better having me wear the helmet it'd make me feel better if you also had one." Yang put on her sunglasses and shrugged.
"Tell you what, we'll go try helmets for you when we get to Vale. First we go to the bakery."
"Bakery?" Yang grinned, starting up the bike.
"Since Ruby buys cookies like three times a week we're good friends and he agreed to help me prepare a picnic basket." She started driving and Blake held onto Yang, a bit tighter than she had to and they both knew why which was why the blonde grinned even wider.
"GAAAH!" There was a loud crash, making everyone in the gym flinch.
"Ah drats. I'm so sorry!" Velvet ran over to Jaune who'd crashed right into some equipment when she'd thrown him over her. "I didn't expect you to be so.. Light. It's a compliment if anything!" She quickly added trying to help him up while also getting the equipment back up.
"Yeah.. Thanks but-"
"Watch out!" A red ball came crashing down on him and once again all the equipment fell over.
"Crap.. Ruby please tell me nothing's broken or else Yang will kill me." Coco came running, helping Velvet in uncovering the two fallen comrades. They both groaned, Ruby rubbing her head and sitting up.
"I think.. I'm all here." Jaune sat up as well, feeling if his nose was in the right position after Ruby's forehead crashed into it.
"Well.. Ain't this cliché. You look like some anime. Though Jaune's in the wrong spot.." Coco said with a smirk making the two look down. Jaune had somehow ended up atop Ruby's lap and they were really close.
"Don't get any funny ideas Coco. It was an accident." Velvet warned her perverted partner who just shrugged.
"That's what they all say. I don't see em getting up in a hurry." Jaune blushed, Ruby gulping and looking more scared than anything.
"Ehm.. Ruby you alright-"
"Jaune." The tone of voice made Jaune freeze and he slowly turned his head. And there, was Weiss, her stare cold and almost murderous with her arms crossed.
"W-Weiss! I swear this isn't what it-" She stomped her foot down, making a thunderous sound and really tried not to growl.
"I don't care. Get off Ruby this instant." He basically jumped off and sprinted to the other side of the gym. Weiss cold aura calmed and she glanced at the girl still on the floor. She looked about ready for a scolding but the heiress merely sighed and reached out a hand. "You're both lucky Yang wasn't here. She'd have given him a beating and you an earful. The latter can still happen so don't push your luck." She warned when Ruby opened her mouth to speak. It was briskly closed and she just silently accepted the help up.
"Alright.. I guess we'll take a break. Team CFVY take thirty and you two as well. Jaune in fear of Weiss going ice queen on you you're coming with us. Give her time to calm down." He was quick to agree, following Coco and the rest out of the gym. "The whole of team RWBY really care about their leader huh?" Coco whispered to Velvet who chuckled.
"I saw Blake the other day promptly hang a few guys upside down with her weapon for talking bad about Ruby. Yang's her big sister so that's understandable but I hear Weiss froze a man just yesterday for talking to Ruby while drunk." Velvet said and Coco laughed nervously.
"Wow yeah okay. Don't mess with Ruby. For three reasons. Those being, Weiss, Yang and Blake." The team agreed while Jaune could definitely agree on the Weiss part. Back in the gym the two partners had gone out to a small secluded area behind the gym. And Weiss was in the process of taking out a box from a plastic bag she'd brought.
"Here, I know how bad you are with eating while you train so.." She handed it over to Ruby who took it and opened it curiously. Inside was two sandwiches and a few mini tomatoes and carrots. "If you eat the greens you'll get this." She showed a small plastic bag which was filled with chocolate chip cookies. And of course Ruby was quick to eat everything in the box so she could eat the cookies.
Though just as she was about to bite into the first one she noticed Weiss watching her with unusual interest. In turn Ruby took a closer look on the cookies, noticing some were a little burned on the edges and for that matter they were warm. With a glance to Weiss she took a bite, noticing the slight difference in taste of the normal cookies she ate.
"Weiss?" The heiress quickly looked away and crossed her arms.
"Y-Yes?" Ruby tilted her head curiously with a smile.
"Did you make these?" The twitch and embarrassed look she got in response told her enough and her smile grew. "I thought you said you couldn't bake! But these are-"
"Horrible? I burned some of them.. They look bad and I-" Ruby shook her head and put the cookies aside to grab one of Weiss's hands.
"Weiss no I love them!" Now she looked confused.
"Really? They look nothing like the ones you usually-" Ruby laughed and leaned in to kiss her, effectively silencing her criticising.
"You made them. That makes them even more awesome than ones from a bakery. Thanks Weiss, they're really good and I mean it." The heiress still looked a bit sceptical but Ruby knew it was more a matter of her not being used to being complimented for something that wasn't perfect. So she grabbed another cookie, eating it with a very goofy smile on her face. Her plan to prove her point seemed to work as Weiss finally smiled as well, unfolding her arms to take a proper hold of Ruby's hand.
"How'd you learn how to make cookies? Weren't you studying with Pyrrha?" Ruby asked, looking genuienly curious. Weiss tensed and blushed, trying to find a way to excuse herself but then thought back on this morning. You don't need an excuse to be nice Weiss. Letting out a breath she merely looked away as she spoke instead.
"I-I was studying.. How to make cookies.. So I could give you some.. Pyrrha helped me.." Ruby tilted her head curiously. Did Weiss just admit that? With no excuse first? It made her smile and she snickered, leaning her head on the heiress shoulder. "Ruby? Wh-"
"Thanks Weiss. You're the best." Her tone of voice was so genuine and loving it threw Weiss off a little and she remained silent. Though she soon, with a blush of course, moved a little so she could comfortably hold Ruby and place her head atop of hers. This just made the smaller girl smile wider and kick a bit with her feet joyfully.
"Dolt.." Weiss mumbled, embarrassed but happy at the same time. My dolt..
"There you go." Yang exclaimed with a grin as Blake came out of the store with a new helmet. The helmet was much like Yang's own just dark purple, with her own mark on the side in black. "Looks good."
"It's just a helmet Yang." The blonde smirked.
"On you everything looks gorgeous kitten." Blake blushed but gave her partner a small shove.
"You're so cheesy." Yang grabbed her hand and kissed the back of it with a wink.
"You love it." Well she couldn't deny she did but admitting it out loud would just give the blonde another thing to tease her about. So instead Blake admitted to something else.
"I love you." Not prepared for that sort of comeback Yang was taken aback and she stared at Blake dumbly for a few seconds. Then she sighed and brought their joined hands down with a pout.
"You're not playing fair.."
"Looks who's talking." Yang was about to protest but Blake gave her a look and she stayed silent for a moment more. And feeling like she'd get nowhere even if she tried to argue Yang conceded.
"Fair point.. Anyway, putting that topic aside. Let's go to the park." They both got on bumblebee, Yang now wearing her helmet and Blake wearing her new one. The two had already been to the baker and Blake was holding the basket while holding on to Yang as they drove to the park.
Well there Yang parked Bumblebee then took the basket from Blake with a grin.
"Let me carry it. Come on." She grabbed Blake's hand and pulled her with her through the park, passing people and different spots where people had already settled.
"Yang where are we going?" The faunus found herself asking after they'd walked for a while but all Yang did was grin back at her.
"Almost there."
"Almost where-" She cut off as Yang pulled her through a bit of shrubbery. Having to squint a bit and use her free hand to push away branches she really started to wonder what was going through Yang's head right now. Where even were they anymore? Finally though they reached a clearing and Yang stopped.
"Here." She stepped aside for Blake to see and amber eyes went wide at the sight of a garden. Flowerbeds covered the ground, small pathways between them leading to the middle where there was a tree with grass under it. There were one or two benches between flowerbeds and at one spot, in the corner where they stood, was a table under some trees that created perfect shade and held a perfect view of the whole garden.
"Yang.." The blonde pointed to the tree in the middle and nodded to the table they stood near.
"Figured I'd let you decide if you wanna sit on a blanket in the grass or an actual table. Either way you get a great view of the flowers. Though to give you all details you get a better smell of the flowers if you sit by the tree. What do you think?" Blake was still speechless, looking over the garden with awed eyes. Yang resisted to chuckle and just waited for her partner to take it all in.
"Yang.. When did you find this place?" The blonde shrugged, leading Blake along a pathway between the flowerbeds to get to the tree.
"Well I have been crushing on you for quite a while and I actually searched for places to take you. Found this place a couple weeks ago. Then it was just the trouble of actually getting you here. But hey that solved itself. Though I would have prefered it to be solved through something else than a nightmare of course but that's beside the point." They arrived at the tree and Yang grinned, pointing the way they came. "See? Perfect view." Blake looked back and could see what she meant. It really was a perfect view. Flowers on all sides which also made the smell stronger here too. "For me more ways than one." Looking back, she saw Yang look at her with a grin, making her blush.
"Okay that was really cheesy.." Yang laughed and winked at her.
"Yes it was but that doesn't make it any less true." Blake's blush persisted so she turned her head away to hide it. "Come on Blakey don't pout." Before she was able to deny the fact Yang wrapped her arms around her waist from behind and pressed her lips to her head. "I really do enjoy looking at you." This of course only resulted in Blake squirming a bit in her grip as her face burned a little more. So Yang tilted her head down to kiss her partner's neck. "I love you.." She mumbled, pouring all the love and sincerity she could into the words to let Blake know she wasn't trying to tease her. There was a small silence before Blake turned in her grip to give a chaste kiss to her lips.
"I love you too." Yang's smile turned into one of childish joy as she nuzzled their noses together, bubbly with energy at the words. Too cute and beautiful for her own good.. Blake thought with a fond smile, her blush calming down at Yang's display of utter joy. They stayed like that for a while, just enjoying each other's presence. Though eventually they separated, Yang pointing on the blanket.
"You sit, got something for you." Yang exclaimed, rummaging through the basket as Blake sat down. "Ah, found it." Grinning, the blonde plopped down beside Blake, laying down so her head was on her lap like it was the most natural thing to do. Not that Blake complained. Yang held up a book. It was the first book of the man with two souls series, the one she'd been reading that first time Ruby and Yang walked up to her.
"Why-"
"Well I never really got what was so interesting so I thought you could read it to me. If you want to. Otherwise we could just sit here and flower gaze." The violet eyes looked at her like she truly didn't care which one she chose. All she wanted was to be close to her and that was enough. The faunus felt that warmth in her chest and she smiled, grabbing the book and opening it on the first page.
"Alright, promise not to fall asleep?" Yang chuckled and stretched her arms upwards and winking at her partner as she relaxed on her lap.
"If I do it won't be because of the book. Cause it's really comfortable here." Blake rolled her eyes and bumped Yang's forehead lightly with the book.
"Just shush." After a small snicker from the blonde Blake started reading, holding the book with both hands at first. Though she quickly started to hold it with one hand, the other threading through Yang's hair softly. Yang made a few sounds at some points of the story, showing interest in the character's situation. Violet eyes closed during her reading but Blake could tell she wasn't sleeping. Merely enjoying the sound of her voice and the soft caress of her hand. And for a moment, Blake thought that if this was the rest of their day, just being together like this, she wouldn't mind it.
Though the moment was ruined by Yang's scroll suddenly ringing, making both of them jump at the sudden interruption.
"Ops, sorry." Yang sat up, reluctantly, and frowned at her scroll ready to just not answer whoever dared ruin the moment. But when she saw the caller she was quick to stand and turn to Blake. "Sorry, I gotta take this. Is it okay?"
"Yeah sure." Yang answered and from what Blake could distinguish from the muffled sound from the other side she could tell it was a man.
"Yeah it's me.. I'm kinda busy.." A mumble. "Well it is a weekend and.. Wait I know that slur. Don't tell me you're drunk somewhere again. Cause I'm not coming to pick you up.. Wherever you are." Blake could hear a laugh on the other side and more mumbling and Yang sighed. "I'm not doing whatever you're thinking. Look what is it?" Yang started to walk around, Blake watching her curiously. "Oh? Yeah I'm game. Just make sure it's a better surprise than your last one.. Well you did both fall out the window just cause you wanted to show off. Hm?" There was a long pause where the man talked and the blonde slowly came to a stop. "Oh.." Yang's brows furrowed and she scratched the back of her head. "Yeah okay I'll be there on Monday.. Two weeks? Alright I'll tell Rubes.. Well not about that of course old man. Okay, yeah, see you soon. Sober up before you get here!" She sighed as she lowered her scroll, pulling a hand through her hair as she walked back to Blake.
"What is it?" Yang shook her head, sitting down.
"Nothing important. Yet anyway."
"Don't want to tell me?" Violet looked into amber, the faunus looking worried. Smiling the blonde shook her head and cupped Blake's cheeks to pull her over and kiss her nose.
"Nothing like that kitten. It's just not official yet and I don't want to confirm anything." Blake still looked worried and Yang sighed but nodded. "It was my uncle, Qrow. He's coming to Beacon and he wants to surprise Ruby. But he also told me Ozpin wants to talk to me and another classmate about a mission he might send us on in two weeks. I would try to tell you details on why and that stuff but my uncle isn't exactly a verbal genius when drunk. It's just confirmed I'm suppose to go to Ozpin's office after school on Monday to get details. And as leader of the team Ruby needs to come with me." Blake nodded slowly, thinking about it. It wasn't unprecedented that, even though they were divided in teams that they trained mostly with during their years at Beacon, Ozpin would send two members from different teams on a mission together. You'd have to be prepared to work with different people during missions as professional huntsmen after all. And sending students on these sort of surprise missions was great training for that.
"Can't say I totally like the sound of not being the one to have your back but I can't really argue with the logic behind it either. It's good training but it does make me a little uneasy." Yang smiled and caressed her cheeks with a soft glow to her eyes.
"It's okay. Pyrrha went through this too and her partner was Cardin. Besides there's gonna be a professor there too and we don't usually get any real big missions for these training sessions. I'll be fine. Plus if I do get sent on one that's two weeks from now and I got plenty of time to train with whoever Ozpin pairs me up with. So don't worry too much about it alright?" Blake sighed, still feeling that uneasiness in her chest but a kiss from the blonde quickly pushed it back. "Just forget about it for now."
And how could she not when Yang pushed her down on the blanket to kiss her again, now with a bit more force than the last. A tongue invaded her mouth soon afterwards and a small mewl of approval escaped.
It didn't take long before Blake's hands entangled themselves into the blond hair. Yang kept her own still by the sides of Blake's head, afraid of where they'd go if she let them wander freely. Especially when what sounded like a moan escaped the one under her. From what she could tell it was caused by the slight move of her leg that was between both of Blake's. Wonder what noise she'd make if I moved it up a little.. Yang thought with a hazy mind, her hands twitching on their spots.
They separated to take a breath, both panting heavily from their long liplock. Taking a few extra blinks and breaths Yang tried clearing her head. This was not the time or place, or well mostly not the place, for something that intense. She could tell Blake was a bit more riled up than herself so, to calm her down, she leaned down to kiss her forehead then nose.
"Yang?" Of course Blake grew confused and the blonde grinned. She grabbed Blake under the shoulders and with a little effort, Blake was really light, she rolled over pulling the faunus on top of her. "Eh, Yang?" Chuckling Yang pressed her close and nuzzled her hair.
"I don't feel like explaining to Ruby why we were caught naked out in the open so I'd rather we just cuddle." Without looking she could tell Blake blushed at the bluntness of her reply and buried her face into Yang's neck to hide. And after a few seconds of silence there was a muffled approval and after getting off Yang to lay beside her instead Blake relaxed. Now with her head on Yang's arm and one arm draped over her partner's stomach lazily everything once again felt just right. Yang's calming aura keeping her warm and safe.
Blake let out a breath and closed her eyes. Taking a nap here should be okay right? Would Yang mind? With the blonde's relaxed and even breathing she wouldn't be surprised if she was already asleep. However as she was about to drift off her stomach made a small noise. She frowned a little at her stomach's timing but all it did in return was growl.
"Isn't there food in the basket?" Blake asked after admitting defeat.
"Yup." Blake's ears twitched under the bow. "Are you hungry?" Another twitch and Yang smiled. She reached out to grab the basket with her free arm. Luckily it was practically right next to her head so she didn't need to move too much. "Tuna sandwich or tuna salad? Got both to be sure."
"Salad." They sadly had to sit up to eat properly but as Yang decided to eat sandwiches she could have an arm around Blake's waist as she ate with the other. They ate and made small talk, mainly enjoying each others company. And as Blake was about to ask for something to drink she felt something cold by her cheek.
"Ice tea?"
"Thought you couldn't read my mind." Blake with a hint of amusement. She grabbed the bottle and drank a bit as Yang chuckled and replied.
"Well I can't. Wish I could sometimes, would be easier.." The faunus caught the small change in tone. Memories of yesterdays fiasco returned to her mind and she lowered the bottle, unconsciously lowering her ears under the bow as well. Of course that still bothered her. Why wouldn't it? Though Yang seemed to notice Blake's change as well and smiled, setting down her own drink to hug her with both arms. "Though it's also fun to not know."
"Huh?"
"Think about it, If I could read your mind that'd be no fun. Then I'd be able to basically hear you hating my puns plus see you cringe. I need just one of em to know." Blake glanced at the grinning blonde and couldn't help but smile at the comment. "Plus I'd also be able to tell when you read that certain book of yours." When Blake furrowed her brows Yang smirked. "Wonder if I should dress as a ninja this halloween.. What do you say?" Blake immediately stiffened and an intense blush appeared on her face making Yang laugh.
"W-W-Where did you even-Yang have you gone through my stuff?" The blonde released her to hold up her hands defensively.
"No, nothing of the sort. But you're not exactly being as sneaky as you think when you read that thing. I've seen you read it, did some research and found out my kitten likes ninjas and their katanas. Though you also seem to enjoy brawlers with their hands obviously." Blake blushed even more and turned around, pushing Yang's face away making her fall on her back.
"Just.. Stop it please!" Smiling sheepishly Yang let out a puff of air and closed her eyes.
"Well at least it worked."
"W-What worked?" The blonde pointed to Blake's face and ears.
"You're not making that face anymore. You know, that face that I apparently have to remind you to stop making." Touching her face like she could feel it, it took Blake a few seconds to realize what she meant. And when she did her expression turned to an apologetic one.
"Sorry Yang I-" The blonde sighed and sat up, grabbing Blake by the cheeks and pinched her. "H-Hey!"
"Continue that sentence and I will just pinch harder." Blake shut her mouth, giving a quick nod. Satisfied Yang released her cheeks to cup them between her hands instead with a grin. "Just remember.." She leaned their foreheads together. "I love you." Blake's cheeks tinted red but still, a smile came to her face and she closed her eyes.
"Alright, I'll try not to forget." Yang chuckled and after giving the faunus a quick peck on the lips fell back down on the blanket, stretching her arms up.
"You better!" Blake glanced at her unfinished salad but decided she'd eaten enough. And after a bit of a position adjustment lied down with Yang, once again on the blonde's arm while hugging her loosely. A soft breeze went past, the tree and flowers making a soft rustle sound. Blake was starting to doze off when she heard Yang hum a tune. A very familiar one.
"What's the name of it?" Blake asked making the blonde stop.
"Hm? Name of what?" The faunus got up on her forearms and looked down on Yang's quizzical expression.
"That song.. You sang it yesterday. What's its name?" Yang looked hesitant to say, scratching her cheek with a nervous chuckle.
"Well.. To be honest the name for the song came after I made it though it's not exactly spelled the way it sounds. You know me and puns but-" Blake gaped at her in disbelief making her stop her ramble. "W-What?"
"You.. Made it? As in.. You wrote that song you sang yesterday?" Shrugging one shoulder Yang looked to the sky.
"I got some help from the band when it came to the music but yeah.. I wrote the lyrics.. Though unlike Weiss I'm no expert at it. Hence the help I needed from the band for the actual music. I just do it for fun anyway. Or when I can't quite get what I want to say out in proper words."
"What do you mean?" Yang chuckled and raised her right hand to caress Blake's cheek.
"Well I began writing the song a few weeks ago. And when I said I sang it to you yesterday I wasn't exaggerating. I wrote it specifically for you to hear." She let her hand go up a little, pulling some of Blake's hair back from her face. "I had only sung it at the bar to get a feel for it before, hence why people knew it. I'd been planning on taking you to this garden and then singing it to you as a way of being super sappy since you seem to like that stuff.." Blake felt her heart skip a beat and that familiar loving warmth filled her once again.
"Y-You wrote that song as a confession to me?" Yang blushed a little, an embarrassed smile on her face.
"Yeah.. But this happened before I had the chance." She said, gesturing to the two of them with her free hand. "Not that I'm complaining." Rubbing some of Blake's hair between her fingers she grinned brightly. Blake was speechless. Yang had written her a song. A love song on top of that. Telling her and everyone else exactly how she felt about her. How could one person be so.. Caring and.. Perfect? How could she be blessed with this wonderful light when she was surrounded with nothing but darkness? How could she possibly be worthy of being so close to this wonderful human being?
I knew it.. You're way too good for me.. Blake thought, reaching out her own hand to touch Yang's face, fingertips ghosting over her cheek. Trying to feel some of that light the girl always emitted that she felt unworthy of being near. Afraid she might someday be the reason for it going out with the large shadow looming over herself. Yang only seemed to brighten at the touch though, eyes shining with warmth very familiar to the faunus at this point. And as always, the warmth transferred from their point of contact, pushing away any and all dark thoughts in Blake's mind. Blake was simply put captivated by Yang's smile, getting lost in it and wouldn't mind staying that way. Yang started humming on the song again, grabbing Blake's hand to give it a soft kiss, letting out a few words from the song's chorus.
"You could be my queen, I could be your dream." You already are.. Blake thought, letting Yang lead her down by the hand that had travelled to the back of her neck. "Let me be your bumblebee.." Closing her eyes Blake made a small purr of satisfaction as their foreheads met, enjoying the feel of Yang's fingers scratching her softly.
"Could you.. Sing it one more time? Just for me this time?" Yang was about to let a teasing remark leave her lips but then saw Blake untying her bow, amber eyes looking almost pleadingly. So swallowing her words she smiled instead.
"Of course kitten. Whenever you want." So she sang, Blake watching her for a brief second before burying her head under Yang's chin, closing her eyes to listen. With the bow off she could hear her properly, every change of tone and emotion behind the words. She noticed that Yang sang a calmer version of the song, trying to match the mood they were in. That of course didn't lessen the passion in the song any.
As the end of it came, Yang noticed how relaxed Blake had become. Not to mention unresponsive when she called her name. Did she fall asleep? The small twitches of her cat ears and soft breathing would indicate so. Resisting a chuckle, afraid the shaking would wake her partner, Yang just carefully took out her scroll from her pocket. Setting an alarm for when they needed to leave to get to the movie, she put the scroll by her head. Then she settled an arm around Blake's waist while the other rested under her head. Taking a cat nap doesn't sound so bad.
"Not again!" Jaune screamed, crashing right into a wall.
"I'm sorry!" Pyrrha shouted, running up to her team leader to help him up. A scream from across the room made them look up though and Jaune sighed as he saw Ruby.
"This is getting old.." And like everyone predicted she crashed right into him, being on top this time though.
"Sorry Jaune.." Ruby groaned as she rolled off him.
"I-It's fine.. I'm used to it by now.." As Pyrrha helped them up Weiss walked over, having been the one to launch Ruby across the gym with one of her glyphs.
"Ruby you really need to work on that control of yours. Being fast doesn't mean anything if you can't dodge an obvious attack like that." Ruby rubbed her aching head.
"I have perfectly good control over my semblance! I just can't.. Divert.. On time.. Okay fine I see your point.." Team CFVY had gone off elsewhere. The sinister look on Coco's face just made Weiss suspect they were going after Cardin and his boys for something again, so herself and Pyrrha had taken over as their partner's training, well, partners.
"I call for a rest.." Jaune groaned as Pyrrha heaved him up on his feet.
"You had a rest just three hours ago." Weiss said and the other three looked at her blankly. "What?"
"Well Weiss I think what Jaune is trying to say is that not everyone trains for five hours straight like us." Pyrrha mentioned, trying to help the situation. Weiss glanced at Ruby who just shrugged.
"Alright fine. We'll take an hour. Will give me some time to think up the next training session I'm gonna put Ruby through." The smaller girl sighed and slumped, not sure if she should look forward to that. Sighing in relief Jaune went over to his bag that he'd left by one of the walls, Pyrrha following him of course. Ruby collapsed on the floor with a groan.
"I'm exhausted.."
"Well you can't sleep in the middle of the gym you dolt. Come on."
"I don't wanna, it's cosy here.." Weiss sighed, pulling out a cookie then walking to the opposite wall of Jaune and Pyrrha to sit down. She broke the cookie in half and a second later she started to brush off rose petals from her skirt.
"Your obsession with those things astound me." She said, looking at her partner who sat munching on both halves at the same time. Reminding Weiss of a chipmunk.
"Hey Ruby, Weiss you got a sec?" Recognizing the call immediately Weiss frowned and stood to glare at the ones approaching them.
"I have no time for you two no and neither does Ruby. So you ruffians can turn back around."
"Wow, Weiss laying the ice queen on a little thick don't you think?" Sun tried to joke but saw that Weiss was in no mood for it. "W-Why are you so angry?"
"I'm not angry. I'm disappointed." Neptune flipped up his sunglasses and looked very sheepish.
"This isn't something caused by.. Whatever happened yesterday is it?" Weiss glared at him too making him shrink. She took a thunderous step forward as she continued.
"You both got so drunk we had to cut the night short. You could barely make a sensible sentence. You couldn't walk soYang had to carry both of you home. You two were the ones who invited us out so that was totally unacceptable. But the worst part.." Her eyes turned ice cold. "You-" She pointed to Sun. "You almost said something really crude to Blake like some drunk oaf and you-" She pointed to Neptune. "I saw the disgusting look you gave me before Yang reprimanded both of you. I wouldn't have stopped her from doing what she threatened to do if she'd decided to do it." They both shrunk with every word and step Weiss took towards them. "I know what you came here for. But no we don't know where Blake is and no Neptune I will not do anything with you. I'm already happily dating someone so you can also stop asking me. Now both of you get out of my sight this instant!" Both looked shocked, though Neptune mostly looked sad and rejected.
"W-Wait you're dating some-" She grabbed a hold of Myrtenaster and flicked it towards them with a deadly look.
"Now." They both shrieked and dashed away. Weiss glared at them until they were out of sight, lowering her weapon.
"I think there was a tiny bit of anger in there." Ruby said behind her and she sighed, sitting back down beside her. "You sure those two really deserved that big a outburst?" Another sigh.
"Maybe not but.. I just.. When people get drunk.. They're not themselves when they are.. The actions they make and the words they say aren't always honest or nice.. It's just.. Disgusting.." By the low tone Ruby could tell this wasn't a subject Weiss liked to talk about. Of course she'd like to know more so she could help but she also didn't want to see Weiss mae that face anymore.
"It's okay Weiss, Sun and Neptune did deserve a little scolding. They did ruin the night." Weiss said nothing, still looking glum. So Ruby leaned over and hugged her, making her glance at her questioningly at the action. "But aside from that. While you didn't say it was me, you finally told Neptune you're off limits. I'm happy." Blushing Weiss turned her face away with a inchorrent mumble.
"Before telling anyone else who, I'd like to get approval from your sister first. Call me old fashioned but-" Ruby giggled and released Weiss to grab her hand.
"No it's fine. Besides as long as Yang and Blake approve I don't need anyone else's approval. I just want my family to approve. Isn't that right for you too?" Weiss glanced at her, thinking about how her own family would react. Her father, well she shuddered even at the thought of his reaction. Her mother wouldn't be happy either and her brother would just be happy she'd be in trouble with her father. The only one would be Winter maybe. Seeing her growing panic over the subject of accepting family Ruby patted her shoulder. "Weiss." She smiled. "Blake and Yang are enough family don't you think?" Being silent for a moment, Weiss tightened her hold on Ruby's hand. She finally smiled however and nodded.
"Yeah, you're right. Thanks Ruby." She kissed Ruby's forehead, making the smaller girl giggle and lean on her with a giddy energy surrounding her. It infected Weiss a little as she couldn't help but keep the smile on her face.
"Though you should probably explain it to Neptune properly. He looked pretty dejected." Ruby said, looking a bit guilty. Weiss grumbled but in afterthought she knew Ruby was right.
"I'll.. Talk to him in a proper manner about the subject later.. Right now-"
"Yeah you're right. Right now you're with me." The heiress blushed once more, resisting the urge to back away and deny the fact. This is normal for a couple Weiss. She's just being a dorky dense innocent cute dounce! Taking a deep breath she tried to calm down, Ruby none the wiser on what effect she had on the heiress.
"Hey Weiss, Ruby!" Weiss twitched, not happy with their moment being ruined by yet another shout for them. But as Jaune and Pyrrha got closer she and Ruby could tell from the boy's half nervous, half panicked expression that it was news that had to be told.
"What is it Jaune? Why the.. Mixed facial expression?" Ruby asked, sitting upright to give him full attention. Pyrrha looked at her partner in sympathy as he pulled out his scroll.
"W-What am I supposed to do? Professor Goodwitch sent me a message telling me I'm suppose to come to the principal's office tomorrow."
"Well did she write why?" He gulped.
"No! Oh wait, I can scroll down hold up." They all held back groans as he read through the rest of the message. Though when he did he looked even more panicked than before. "Oh my dust! I-I've been chosen to participate in a mission where I'm gonna be partnered up with someone from another team!" Pyrrha clapped her hands before patting him on the back.
"That's great Jaune. It's a really good learning experience." Pyrrha said, accidentally knocking him down with one of her pats. "Ops.. I'm sorry."
"Does it say with who?" Ruby asked, excited for Jaune's sake. He scrambled back up on his feet and read through it again.
"No.. Just that me and my eventual partner is gonna be briefed on the details Monday after school. Oh no what if I end up with Cardin?" Weiss shook her head.
"Highly unlikely. He's already been on a mission like that with Pyrrha."
"But what if I end up with someone else from his team?" Weiss shrugged.
"That is more than likely." He groaned and slapped his hands over his face, in the process hitting his nose on his scroll making him yelp.
"Calm down Jaune you'll be fine. When I went out on that mission we had two weeks to prepare. Whoever your partner ends up being I bet they'd like to be prepared for this as much as you do. Plus these missions are never something major. It will, in Weiss's words, more than likely be a simple extermination mission. And a professor will come with you." At Pyrrha's words Jaune seemed to straighten out, looking more confident as he smiled.
"Y-Yeah, you're right. Thanks Pyrrha. Okay yeah, I can do this. I can handle something that simple right?" Ruby and Pyrrha smiled and nodded, trying to encourage him while Weiss looked as sceptical as always.
"By the way I heard you unloading on Sun and Neptune. And aside from what you said happened.. You're dating someone Weiss?" Pyrrha asked. This made Weiss stiffen a little while Jaune turned into a statue. Ignoring him though, Weiss nodded.
"Yes.. But if you don't mind.. No prying as of right now. And don't tell anyone!" Pyrrha still looked curious but understanding as well.
"Well alright if you insist. But just so you know Weiss you can tell us whenever you want to. And make sure to introduce us to this someone alright?" The fact that Pyrrha didn't automatically assume it was a he made the heiress relax a little.
"Of course.. Though I think you've already met.." She whispered this however, only letting Ruby hear.
"Hehe, You could say that." The two snickered, Pyrrha tilting her head in curiosity, smiling at the two. Though Ruby looked to Jaune who still had yet to move.
"Ehm.. Hey Jaune? You okay?" The blond finally unfroze, shaking his head and looking like he was going to cry.
"Y-You're.. Dating someone already? Aw man.." Weiss sighed, trying her best to not look annoyed.
"Yes." Ruby cleared her throat and elbowed Weiss's side. "What?" She nodded to Jaune and gave Weiss a hard look. The heiress resisted a facepalm and just nodded, getting up to hold out her hand for him. "Jaune, I'm sorry I didn't straighten it out with you before. Even though I think I've been quite obvious.." A pinch by Ruby. "I do think you're.. A great.. Good guy and anyone else would be happy to have you I'm sure.." He smiled a little, taking her hand.
"Thanks Weiss. Wow I must have looked pretty stupid this morning and.. Every other time.."
"Yes, yes you did.."
"Weiss." Ruby warned and the heiress sighed, shaking her head.
"What I meant was.. Since you didn't know it wasn't… That stupid. While I.. Appreciate your feelings Jaune I'm happy with the one I'm dating now. So.." He sighed and nodded.
"Yeah I get it.. Well as long as you're happy Weiss. I'll be fine." She glanced at Pyrrha then back at Jaune.
"I bet you will. Who knows the girl for you might be closer than you think.. Like right next to you.. Right now.. In this gym.. You're too dense to get it but-" She saw his eyes twitch to Ruby with a confused expression and she glared at him while squeezing his hand. "Don't even think about it. I will freeze you before Yang has a chance to burn you." He gulped and nodded frantically, stepping behind Pyrrha. Ruby tilted her head in confusion, not having heard what Weiss said since she'd whispered it. Yet she had a feeling it had been something very threatening since Jaune looked scared for his life.
"Wow you were right, that was the sappiest romance movie I've ever seen." Blake said as she and Yang walked out of the cinema. They'd both slept in the garden for two hours before Yang's alarm woke them in time to get to the movie.
"And somehow it still manages to make it's audience turn into these love zombies." Yang chuckled, pointing to the rest of the audience leaving. The couples were staring lovingly on each other and holding hands while some just looked like they'd done something they probably shouldn't have in a public place.
"You're one to talk." Yang shrugged, squeezing Blake's hand that she'd taken a hold of.
"Well at least I was a love zombie before the movie. You're really infectious you know." Blake rolled her eyes.
"Dork." Yang grinned and leaned over to kiss her temple.
"Lovable dork." She checked her scroll for the time and sighed as she saw what it was. "Well, I suppose we should make our way back." Blake also looked a bit reluctant to their alone time together ending but all good things have an end. They walked back to the bike and put on their helmets.
On the way back to Beacon Blake held onto Yang a little tighter than usual. Her thoughts getting stuck on the fact Yang would be leaving on a mission without her. She knew the blonde could take care of herself but she still worried. Yang had told her not to think too much about it right now but she couldn't help it. On team missions she was Yang's backup, her second shield and Yang was hers. But with this mission that role would be on someone else. And what if something happened? What if Yang got-
"Blake? Not that I'm complaining but you can let go of me now we're here." Yang's voice pierced her thoughts and she blinked, letting go of Yang rather quickly making the blonde suspicious. "Deep in thought?"
"Y-Yeah but it's nothing." Rolling her eyes and shaking her head Yang took off her helmet and turned to the faunus.
"Blake we talked about this."
"H-Huh?" Yang knocked on her helmet with a disapproving look.
"It's clear as day. I told you not to worry about it right now. It's two weeks away. Giving me and my eventual partner plenty of time to prepare." She tapped Blake's nose. "So either you stop worrying over nothing or I'm not gonna be taking you on that second date." Blake blinked, confused for a moment. Second date? When did they talk about that? Sensing her confusion Yang chuckled and got off the bike. "You didn't listen to me? Think I'd take you out on just one date?"
"N-No?" Wait why did she make that sound like a question, of course she didn't think so. This only resulted in Yang's laughter however.
"Okay now I know you were out of it. Come on kitten, back to Remnant you get." Yang grabbed her helmet and pulled it off while also leaning in to kiss her. It was short but enough to make Blake focus. "I was talking about it as I was parking and asked you if you were free this Wednesday after school. Of course when you didn't answer and never let go to get off I figured you must be worried about something. Cause that's the only time you doze off like that." Blake stared at her in silence for a moment. Was she really that easy to read?
"I.." She wasn't entirely sure what to say. Deny or agree? She didn't want to admit being worried about it. In fear of Yang taking it the wrong way. She didn't want her to think she didn't believe she could do it. She was just worried something would go wrong and she wouldn't be there to help her. Seeing her inner struggle Yang sighed, putting down the helmets on the bike and grabbing Blake's cheeks to pinch them for the second time that day. "Ouch-Yang!"
"Let me be perfectly clear with you." She stared into the amber eyes strictly. "I have jumped into the mouth of a flying Nevermore and lived. I have been launched into the air by Nora and come down unscathed. I have survived a punch through a brick pillar made to hold up an entire bridge plus been hurled into a giant mech that I destroyed with one punch. I can even stare into Ruby's puppy dog eyes and say no to her. Not to mention I survive Weiss's ice glares daily.. Plus-" She let go of Blake's cheeks and smirked mischievously. "I'm dating you. I can handle anything." Blake rubbed her cheeks, looking at the blonde stand straight with a knowing smirk. While the smirk was a bit annoying Blake couldn't argue with the facts Yang layed out. She of course knew better than anyone how capable Yang is of taking care of herself. She was just thinking selfishly again. Wanting to be the one with the blonde at all times.
Yang was making it pretty clear. Just trust me. So, instead of frowning or pouting, Blake smiled, getting off the bike and crossing her arms.
"Am I supposed to take that last one as an insult or compliment?" Glad to see Blake letting go of it for now Yang chuckled and placed an arm around her shoulders.
"I would say both. You're a challenge, but I obviously like challenges." Yang said, kissing her partner's temple.
"Thanks Yang.. I mean it." The blonde shrugged, directing them towards the dorms.
"Well like I said to Weiss this morning. Seems like I've become the team therapist.. I still wonder if that's the right word.. Oh well doesn't matter. So about Wednesday?" Blake shrugged.
"I'll have to check my schedule. But there is a high chance I'm free." They both smiled at each other, heading towards the dorm unknowing of the news Ruby would tell them of Jaune.
Me: Hehe, did I make some of you believe there'd be smut in this chapter? Whoops, too bad it's just filled with disgustingly sweet fluffy time with ma Bees and white roses.
Blake: Yeah this chapter sure is sweet..
Me: Well I had this general idea of where it was suppose to go.. And then it just spun out of control into this sweet, cheesy fluff fest..
Yang: Well our ship is called Bumblebee so of course we should be sweet.. Sweet like honey!
Me: Okay that was just bad.
Yang: It is true though.
Me: Anyway sorry it took so long. This chapter became way longer than I first anticipated. It was sppose to be a 5000 word thing but then I just took a second look at some of the scenes and thought this should be longer or I should change this.. And it didn't help that I sometimes lost insperation in the middle of writing so I had to step away numerous times to get it back.
Blake: But despite the delay we hope you enjoyed this chapter. It's way longer than the ones prior.. Review with thoughts and ideas for future chapters. Wolf reads every one and takes them into account. Or PM, she answers when she can.
Me: Btw the coming out thing will probably come next chapter. So look forward to that and with this mission thing.. I'll be honest and say I only have a general idea of what I want to happen but feel free to give suggestions.. Though don't expect any big fight scenes cause I suck at writing them.. I'm just trying to add a little extra plot I suppose..
Yang: We'll bee you next chapter! *glomps Blake*
PS Don't get too used to this long chapters. There will be shorter ones in the future.. Also sorry if some parts seem rushed or something I've been pretty out of it. So don't expect the next chapter to come out in the coming week or anything. I do have a life outside of writing but hopefully you'll be patient with me and thank you. Love you all X3
