"Ruby hurry up, we're gonna be late for class." Weiss said, tapping her foot impatiently by the door. Herself and Ruby had class while Yang and Blake had a free period and Yang was making the most of it by repairing Ember Celica that had been damaged during a mock fight with Nora during their last class. And it had to be repaired by the time she and Jaune had to go to the extra training lesson with professor Port.
"Coming, coming." Ruby said, just in the process of tying the ribbon around her neck. However as Weiss turned to the door she noticed Blake walk up to the desk behind the brawler, leaning over her shoulder to watch her work.
"Heh, kitten that tickles." Yang giggled when she felt Blake's hair on her neck. Blake smirked and placed a hand on Yang's shoulder as she turned her head a little to skim her nose over Yang's cheek.
"Your fault for being ticklish." She said with a playful hint to her voice. The blonde chuckled and glanced at the faunus from the corner of her eye with an amused smile.
"Oh yeah, not yours for tickling me?" Blake hummed and kissed Yang's temple.
"When I'm not doing it on purpose it's not." Violet met amber as Yang turned her head, her hand going up to softly caress Blake's neck.
"Oh? And what pray tell were you doing?"
"Well I was admiring your handiwork. But this works too." Blake said, her voice lowering and eyes closing. Yang knew that stare and would gladly have pulled Blake into a kiss. If of course not for the spray of water that was mostly aimed at Blake. The cat faunus immediately separated from Yang with a sputter, though it sounded an awful lot like hissing, and she glared at the heiress who was holding a spray bottle with water.
"Weiss! What the hell?!" She hissed, trying to dry her face while Weiss frowned back at her.
"You should go study." She said sharply and the faunus growled.
"I'll decide on that thank you very much." Weiss shook her head and pointed to Yang who was still shocked over the sudden interruption and raise in voice.
"I am very happy for you two. But when you!" She pointed to Blake, then changing to Yang. "Becomes an obvious distraction for her when she's trying to work, some separation is obviously in order!" While she saw the heiress's point Blake still didn't let go of the glare and low growl that came up her throat.
"I don't exactly see you give that response when Ruby comes and disturbs you." Weiss narrowed her eyes and waved the bottle around.
"Well neither me or Ruby is preparing for an important assignment either! Yang is and needs to be prepared! And obviously that's a hard thing to do when you're around. Don't think I didn't catch on what happened today at training. Or every other time like right now." The whole reason Yang had to do repairs on Ember Celica was because she'd taken a hit from Nora's hammer without full use of her aura. As she had been distracted by Blake who was smiling at her from the side. Well until she was shouting for her to watch out. Luckily she'd gotten her arms up in time but her gauntlets had taken quite the hit.
Blake stiffened as she had no comeback to snap back with, knowing far too well how right the heiress was. But she couldn't help it. With the confirmation of Yang having the same thoughts about wanting to take their relationship to the next level she just found herself being naturally clingy and needy. She couldn't help herself. Though of course it didn't help the brawler found no issue with her behaviour and didn't complain when Blake was basically hanging from her back.
"Weiss calm down it's okay. It's just Wednesday, I have more than a week left-" Weiss snapped her gaze to Yang and she silenced promptly at the icy stare.
"And don't get me started on you! Getting so easily distracted during combat I mean seriously?" Yang smiled sheepishly but pointed to Ruby who stood by the door hoping they'd be done soon so they could leave.
"Well you try having your girlfriend looking at you during a mock fight and not get a tiny bit distracted." Weiss blushed and snapped her eyes to Ruby then back again.
"D-Don't try to change the subject!"
"I'm not!"
"Yes you-"
"Okay enough!" Ruby snapped and they all three looked to her. She sighed and looked at Weiss.
"Weiss, even if you're right this sort of thing is natural for two people who are very comfortable with each other, and for that matter dating, to be doing! It's just a matter of us getting used to it because we both want them to be comfortable around us. Just like we want to be them to be comfortable with us showing off. Plus spraying Blake with water was not okay." Weiss looked to want to say something but with the warning stare Ruby gave her she closed her mouth. Ruby then looked at Yang. "Though Weiss also has a point, you need to concentrate even with Blake around. Mock battle or not. And Blake.." The faunus had her arms crossed with a small frown. Sighing Ruby motioned to Yang. "Stay here with Yang if you want. But please, no deliberate distractions." Ruby crossed her arms and gave them all a glance. "Am I making myself understood with all of you?" There was a silence in the room, the three teammates looking at each other then back at Ruby.
"Well.. There's a reason she's the team leader." Yang said to break the silence. Blake sighed while Weiss brushed away some hair from her face in slight embarrassment over her behaviour.
"Alright.. I won't say more on the matter. Just never spray water at me like you're reprimanding an animal again!" Blake said with a small bite to her tone, staring at the heiress who looked at the water bottle still in her hand.
"Oh. Oh no I didn't mean.. I-I'm so sorry.." She said, tossing away the bottle with a genuine look of regret. Blake just huffed and walked over to her bed to sit down. Ruby breathed out and smiled, opening the door and held out her arm.
"Alright, now come on Weiss before we're actually late. And Blake?" The faunus looked up, still with a bit of a frown. "We're still going today.. Right?" Blake was silent for a time, glancing at Weiss who was looking a bit guilty for her actions then looked to Yang who tried to give her a encouraging smile. Blake sighed but gave a short nod.
"Yeah.." Smiling, Ruby went out, Weiss telling another apology before leaving as well.
"First time I think I've seen you hiss since that dog faunus incident." Yang said when the door closed, a little amused as Blake groaned at the reminder.
"Don't even.." She fell back on the bed and rubbed her eyes, hair still a little wet from the water. She heard the small creak of the chair being pushed back and soon felt a hand being put on her forehead. A warm aura flowed to her from the point of contact, drying her hair and making her stiff body loosen. Letting out a breath she let her hands fall to her sides, eyes still closed so she could fully enjoy the sense of warmth and sunshine from the hand now softly caressing the hair by her forehead. There was a slight weight shift on the mattress and she hummed, turning her body towards the weight. Yang chuckled as Blake got up just a little so she could lay her upper body on her lap, acting much like a cat would. The soft purr helping in seeing her as such.
"Now how am I suppose to repair Ember Celica if I can't move?" She teased but Blake turned her head a little to look up at her with a smirk.
"Your own fault." Yang only smiled.
"I guess it is." Blake felt her heart skip a beat when she made eye contact. The soft smile and gentle caress of her hair while looking at her with nothing but love and adoration had her chest feeling warm. It was a feeling all too familiar at this point and she was smiling back before she knew it.
She felt Yang's fingers move slowly until they were close to her still covered ears. They stopped there however and the violet eyes gave the bow a glance. They narrowed for a split second before going back to their gentle look. She made eye contact with Blake again, a question in them now as her fingers moved to the base of the cat ears. However she made sure to not disturb the bow. Blake knew she wouldn't despite the fact she would gladly let her. Never without her specific permission because that's just how Yang works. Always making double sure.
"It's okay. You should know I trust you with it by now." Blake said, turning her head a little to make it easier. Yang's smile turned to one of childish joy and she wasted no time in removing the ribbon. The ears twitched as they were freed, Blake grimacing a little. They always felt so stiff and not to mention the small muscle pain after being under the bow so long. And she didn't know if it was because of her expression, but Yang's hand immediately went to work on them. Softly kneading the base and giving extra attention to spots that felt a bit stiffer. And while Blake didn't know how Yang could possibly know where to massage her sore ears she didn't care at the moment. Just giving off soft groans when she hit the right spot, the noise helping Yang in knowing where to give extra attention.
Neither of them really knew for how long this went on. Certainly longer than actually needed but Yang didn't see her girlfriend complaining so she continued, just happy Blake trusted her with it.
"How.. How do you know where to.." Blake started but couldn't quite formulate the sentence she wanted. Feeling this way too much. Yang however chuckled, fingers moving from her ears to the space between them to scratch a little.
"Ruby had a phase in her life where she wanted to put bows on everything. My hair, dad's hair and Zwei's fur. Though she often put the bow on his ears instead of his fur. Said it made him look cuter." She smiled at the memory. "Sadly it made Zweis ears incredibly sore. So until she realized she shouldn't be doing that I had to untie it every time and massage his ears until he stopped whining. Dad was busy trying to explain to Ruby why she shouldn't do it. Turns out, cat ears aren't that different from dog ears. Not to insult you of course but the spots that get sore seem to be similar." Blake rolled her eyes.
"Well while I don't like being compared to a dog, I guess I should thank Ruby for that phase." She looked into Yang's eyes with a smile. "Because you're amazing with you hands." Yang smirked, hand going to Blake's shoulder.
"I'm glad you think so already." The suggestive tone and mischievous look in the violet eyes made Blake's own narrow a little. It was obviously just a teasing flirty joke but Blake couldn't help but feel something from the remark.
Never breaking their eye contact Blake sat up, hands going around Yang's neck with thumbs brushing along her jawline. Yang's eyes closed before Blake even got to where she wanted her lips to be. A little uncomfortable with the way she was sitting, Blake got one of her legs over Yang's, straddling her lap and getting a perfect upper angle on her lips. This was exactly how she'd been sitting the other day but now. Now they were inside, and alone for that matter. I don't know, next time we're alone in the dorm. She thought back on what Yang had hinted at. They were certainly alone now. But then again they have class. And what do you even do to initiate something like that? She just kinda went on automatic the other times.
Maybe what I normally do.. Follow my instincts and see what happens.. If she doesn't want to she'll tell me and I'll stop.. Right? Now being fully aware of what she was doing, Blake felt doubt sip in and she separated from Yang, staring blankly at the brawler as they both caught their breath. What if I do something wrong? W-What if my animal instinct take over and I can't stop? Or worse hurt her.. I almost did before and didn't stop when she told me. What if it happens again?
"Blake? You okay?" Yang asked after a little while, not liking how the faunus had just frozen on top of her. She looked into the amber eyes that slowly seemed to be filled with dread. "Blake? Kitten you're kinda scaring me here." She lift her hands to cup Blake's cheeks, stroking her thumbs over them while activating her aura in a try to calm her. "Blake, snap out of it. I'm right here." She brought Blake forward to lean their foreheads together and the touch seemed to make Blake at least blink, amber looking into violet more awarely.
"S-Sorry I just.. I'm not sure what I'm doing.." Yang's expression turned from concerned to quizzical, still keeping the worried light in her eyes.
"Ehm.. Blake, were you having a mental dialogue I was suppose to follow? Cause I'm not sure what you mean.." The faunus bit her lip, shifting her gaze down then up again.
"I.. Know we talked about it." Yang seemed to understand, her hands settling on her partner's hips. "And we agreed it's something we both wanted.. But I.." She hesitated, clenching her hands. "I let my instincts lead me before. But now that I'm aware of what I want to do.. I'm afraid of losing control to them.. I almost hurt you last time I let them take over and I didn't listen when you told me to stop and now I'm not sure what I'm doing anymore-" Yang cupped her cheeks, cutting her off to look into the violet eyes and seeing the reassuring light in them.
"Blake, kitten, you're stressing yourself up over something that's never been an actual problem. And if you remember, I told you. The only reason I wanted you to stop was because it was happening under the wrong circumstances. Not because I didn't enjoy it." Blake blushed a little but kept silent. Yang grabbed a firm hold of her hips and flipped them over, now being on all four on top of Blake. "Plus, I'm not as fragile as you make me out to be. This-" She pushed her hair over to one side, her neck coming into full view. "Is nothing. And neither were the ones you gave me at the bar. I've had worse bruises." The last sentence was said with a joking tone, but Blake blushed again, covering her face with a hand and mumbled.
"I'm sorry-" Yang rolled her eyes and took the hand away, leaning down to kiss her forehead.
"Your instincts is nothing to be afraid of. Have they come up at the wrong times? Yes. But what's happened during those times haven't been unpleasant, merely inappropriate to the current locations and situations we were in. Point is, you're fine. And as I've already told you just yesterday, we'll take this at our own pace and figure it out together. Alright?" The faunus closed her eyes, letting out a breath as she felt her nerves melt away to Yang's calming flame.
"Alright.." Smiling, Yang kissed her nose and got back up on all four.
"Good, now.." She trailed off, looking down on the faunus with a thoughtful expression. Blake gave her a questioning one and she glanced at the door then back. She seemed to have a small mental battle if her changes in expression was any indication.
"Yang?" Blowing on some hair the blonde pushed off Blake, rolling onto her back beside her with a sigh.
"It's.. Nothing.. We do have class in little less than an hour and I better try to finish Ember Celica's repair by then." Blake furrowed her brows and turned her head to the blonde. She'd wanted to say something else right? Or was it just her imagination? "Otherwise we'll just have proven Weiss's point." Blake looked confused for a second, not sure what she meant when Yang chuckled and reached over to tap her nose. "That you really are a terrible distraction for me." Getting it now, the faunus smiled. She could tell Yang was trying to get her in better spirits. Away from bad thoughts. She rolled over on her stomach, propping herself up by the arms and leaned her face close to Yang's.
"Your own fault for being so easily distracted." She said, deciding to play along. Yang chuckled, leaning up to rub their noses together.
"It's not my fault! Something's wrong with my eyes." She winked at her. "Cause I can't take em off you." Blake snorted, giggling as she pressed her hand to Yang's face.
"My god that was awful." They both laughed, Yang grabbing Blake's hand and pulling it off her face.
"It's true though!"
"Only you would actually voice such a corny line." Blake said as Yang got up on her own arms so they were even leveled.
"How about.. You an angel? If so-" Blake rolled her eyes.
"You really gonna pull that one?" Yang grinned.
"Well I didn't know angels could fly so low." Blake blinked, not prepared for that particular line.
"Okay I'll give you that one." Yang held out her hand.
"If I had a star for every time you brighten my day, I'd have a galaxy in my hand." Blake grabbed said hand and leaned over, pecking Yang's lips.
"That's my line." She then got up, Yang opening her mouth, then closing it, thinking for a moment then shrugged while getting up herself.
"Huh, your beauty's so distracting I forgot my pick up line." Yang smirked when Blake shook her head with a small sigh, smile on her face all the same. "Alright, I'm done."
"You done?"
"I'm done."
"Really?"
"At least for the next ten minutes or so."
"You're unbelievable."
"You love me."
"Doesn't prove the fact wrong." Yang leaned over and kissed her cheek.
"Nope but it proves it doesn't matter." She said, grinning like the idiot she was, Blake just letting out a sigh and leaned their shoulders together.
"I guess so." Yang grinned and kissed Blake's head, the faunus letting out a sigh of relief. Her stress and negative thoughts on the previous matter melting like butter to a flame. Which wasn't that far from the truth in this case. Yang did have to lean away and stand though, to her dismay.
"Well, better get back to it. Ember Celica needs to be repaired before the end of the day." Yang said and looked back, seeing the sad kitty look Blake was pulling. She doesn't want me to leave. Why do you have to be so cute? Yang took a moment to think about what Blake could do that would still enable her to do her work but also have her close and interact. She glanced towards the bookshelf and an idea popped up in her head. She walked up to it, searching for a certain book she knew she had put back after their date.
"Yang?" The blonde grinned when she saw the cover for The Man With Two Souls, pulling it out and offering it to Blake. "Why-"
"Obviously you never finished it on our date. And I work better when it's not completely silent anyway. Wanna sit beside me and read to me while I work?" Blake grabbed the book hesitantly, looking sceptic to the idea.
"You sure it won't be distracting?" Yang shrugged, standing straight and walking to the desk.
"You don't have to. I just thought it'd be nice. Since then we'll both have something to do and.. I'll get to hear more of the story." Blake tapped on the cover for a bit, watching Yang as she sat down and started to tinker with the pieces. A small sigh left her lips and she stood, knowing she couldn't say no and pulled up the extra chair to sit beside the blonde. Yang smiled as Blake's voice reached her ears, continuing her work as Blake read the story until they also had to go to class.
"On your left!" Yang called, Jaune reacting and holding up his shield, the Boarbatusk charging into it. He managed to keep his foothold, glancing back at Yang who got her own grimm on her side. She just grinned however, cracking her knuckles as the Boarbatusk came charging at her. She took a wide stance, watching the grimm carefully as it charged at her, making sure it wouldn't go into a rolling attack. And at the last second, when the tusks were about to hit her front, she grabbed a hold on them and managed to stop it in its tracks."Let's do this Jaune." He took a deep breath, shoving the grimm away with a bash of his shield, making it stagger for a second. "Just give me a countdown." She grunted, wrestling a bit with the boar to keep it from piercing her.
"Hold.." He answered, quickly repositioning himself at Yang's back. His grimm came charging at him. "Rolling." He warned, Yang clenching her hands around the tusks, hair flaring just slightly. "Three. Two."
"One!" She finished and they spun around each other, switching places. Thanks to Jaune's timing, she was able to swing the grimm right into the one rolling towards them. And the instant they hit each other Jaune rounded her and with a small shout pierced both grimm with his sword. They gave off a horrible squeal before seizing all movement. Pulling his sword back from the fading bodies he panted, slowly taking in the fact their plan had worked.
"You did it!" Yang cheered, patting his back, making him straighten his hunched over posture. A slow smile came to his face and he looked to her.
"We did it!" He corrected her without really meaning to, just happy they'd managed. She grinned, holding up her hand and he gladly high fived her.
"Okay you two calm down. They were only two Boarbatusks. You'll be going up against worse grimm on this mission." Professor Port said, but his mustache couldn't hide the smile he was making. "Aside from that being a risky maneuver that was excellent teamwork. You're making progress in such short time." Yang shrugged, stretching her arms up and back to thread her fingers together at the back of her head.
"Risky maneuver he says. Have you seen the combo attacks or the maneuvers my sister comes up with? That was nothing." She said, grinning when the professor couldn't come with a proper comeback.
"You are.. Not incorrect. But still, I'd like to hear your reasoning for your strategy." Yang shrugged once again, bumping her hip with Jaune's and nodding to the professor.
"Y-Yes of course. Well, thanks to having seen Yang fight, talked to Ruby about how she usually thinks when it comes to Yang and watched some videos from classes. I thought up the plan. I knew Yang would be able to stop the grimm in its tracks. And, thanks to Ruby reassuring me of the fact, I knew Yang could easily hold it back long enough plus knock it into the other grimm." He smiled cleared his throat nervously. "All that was left was the right timing and the right placement which is why I stood behind her so the second grimm would charge at me, in other words towards her back. And, if that didn't finish them, I would. Though I'll admit to being nervous about getting the timing wrong or not enough thrust into my blade or-" Yang grabbed him around the shoulders and squeezed, making him squeal and cut off his rambling.
"What Jaune is suppose to say is. We combined our strengths to get the job done. Him with his strategies and perfect timing, and me with my brawn and reflexes. Isn't that right Jaune?" He blinked, a bit confused until he saw her small glare. "You did great, now agree with me or in the next training session between us I won't hold back." She said strictly, done with Jaune's insistent tries to demote himself.
"R-Right, yes that's what I was saying." He agreed quick, not wanting to be on the receiving end of another beating. Port coughed into his hand, getting back their attention.
"While I still think it risky it was well thought out. So, if there are no objections, we'll finish there for today. You're free to use this classroom for sparring and training though." He said, expecting them to do just that right on the spot. Jaune seemed up for it, turning to Yang with a questioning gaze.
"I'm up for some more training. Yang?" The blonde seemed to think about it for a second but then the sound of the door caught her attention.
"Yang are you done?" Smiling at the voice she turned and gave a thumbs up.
"Yup, all done Rubes." She said, watching her little sister approach them. She raised a brow at her attire. It consisted of a red hoodie, white shirt, black shorts and a yellow cap that Yang was pretty sure was actually hers, if the fire emblem in front wasn't a dead giveaway. "Ehm.. You're certainly.. Colorful.." Yang said, Ruby grinning and spreading her arms.
"I'm wearing team RWBY's colors! I had to borrow your cap though, hope that's okay." Yang chuckled, walking up to grab her bag.
"That's fine." Jaune gave a questioning look.
"Why are you dressed like that?" He asked, sheathing his sword and folding his shield.
"We're going on a team outing! Blake is currently changing and I'm here to pick up Yang. If she's really done." Ruby said, looking to professor Port for permission.
"Ah yes, miss Xiao Long is done so she's free to go." He said. Yang turned to Jaune with an apologetic expression.
"Sorry Jaune, I'll train with you tomorrow." Jaune waved it away.
"That's fine, Pyrrha is always happy to help me train. So you go." Waving goodbye, the two sisters leave the room for their dorm. Upon arrival, Weiss was on them immediately.
"There you are Yang. Blake's just about finished I believe-wait.. Did you take a shower before you came here?" The blonde chuckled and shook her head.
"Well her majesty will be happy to know I'd planned on taking a shower before we left. Since I dry pretty quick it shouldn't take long." She said, dropping bag to go over to the drawers and get her change of clothes. "By the way, very fancy choice of clothing." She mentioned when she turned back to the heiress. Weiss was, of course, wearing all white. White shirt, white jacket white skirt and even white heels. Though there was a distinctive line of blue around the edges of the skirt. And the only other thing not white was the black buttons on the jacket and a distinct red gem hanging from a silver chain. "Is that a ruby?" Weiss blushed a little but nodded, arms crossing.
"Isn't she pretty?" Ruby said, gesturing to Weiss with her arms like she was showing off a price at a gameshow. And while the heiress blushed at the compliment Yang smiled at her sister's enthusiasm.
"Of course, though when I get to see Blake I'm gonna have to side on her being the most beautiful in the room." She said bluntly.
"Well.. She's your girlfriend so I guess that's fair." Ruby said, nodding in understanding with a hand to her chin.
"It's gonna have to be. Cause I'm not gonna start a who's girlfriend is best argument with you Ruby.. Let's just agree our respective girlfriend in our own eyes is the best." Yang exclaimed, crossing her arms. Her little sister shrugged but gave another nod.
"Yeah I can deal with that."
"You are both idiots.." Weiss mumbled, blushing at the prospect of Ruby ever getting into such an argument.
"Yang's more of a dork." The fourth voice to the conversation had Yang smile wider, turning to meet her girlfriend with a greeting but stopped in her tracks when she came into full view from the bathroom. Blake wore a black top that was just a bit short to show off part of her stomach. Blue jeans vest on top of that, black leggings and blue short shorts. Plus, a orange scarf Yang could swear was hers. Yang couldn't help but stare, her eyes wandering around Blake's body until ultimately arriving at the space between the pants and shirt. And, despite calls for her name, only one sentence rang in her head. She's gorgeous in anything.. That stomach though.. Okay two sentences.
"Yang!"
"Gah!" Yang yelped when Ruby shouted her name right beside her ear.
"Can you hear me now?" Ruby asked, arms crossed. Yang covered her ears with a pained expression.
"Yeah as soon as my ears stop ringing." She mumbled, shaking her head, like that would help. "What were you saying?"
"I said, weren't you going to shower after Blake was done?" The blonde scratched her neck, nervous smile on her lips.
"Ehm.. Right.." She glanced at Blake who was giving her the same questioning expression the other two were. "Yeah, shower, I'll just-" She grabbed her clothes, side stepping around Blake with a nervous grin. "Do that-ouch.." She flinched as she backed into the doorframe. "Ahem, be right back!" She then escaped into the bathroom and locked the door.
Breathing out she felt her face grow hot. She covered her face with a hand and let out a small groan. Showing off that much stomach should be illegal.. Then again I wouldn't see it if it was so maybe not.. Her eyes narrowed just slightly as Blake's figure came to mind. That top had looked looser than the others she usually wears. Would probably be easy to slide her hand over that stomach and up-Oh my dust no! She walked to the sink and turned on the faucet with cold water, splashing it in her face. Taking another deep breath she slapped herself with both hands, pulling them down slowly with another groan.
"Damn it.. It's getting harder to control these thoughts and urges.." She mumbled to herself, taking another splash of cold water. Especially with what happened yesterday.. And this morning on top of that.. Hand still wet and cold, she reach up and caressed the two marks still there hidden with the high collar. A small blush came to her face as she was reminded of it. How needy Blake had looked and especially how she made the marks with intent and want this time.
Blake wants to just as much as I do.. This morning proves as much.. But also.. Yang sighed, starting to undress so she could get into the shower. Starting the water she didn't mind the cold water flowing from the showerhead. It felt good on her currently warm body. She pushed her hair over her head, thoughts going back to the talk she'd had with Blake mere hours ago. It also proves how uncertain she actually is about it.. Geez.. Rubbing her face she let her hands glide down to her neck again, head tilted down, letting her hair fall around her head like wet curtain.
I need to stop thinking about it. I know Blake wants to but that's no reason to just jump the gun like I thought about this morning. I just need to calm my hormones and do this correctly.. I should let Blake decide, go at her pace.. I need to be reassuring and not come on too strong. Since.. Since I want her to be comfortable most of all.. Wow I sound so lame.. And.. I made myself sound so confident when we talked too.. When I'm not that confident.. No! I need to be encouraging otherwise she'll just get nervous.. I said we'd figure it out together and that's what we're gonna do. When it happens.. Maybe I should ask uncle Qrow for advice.. He's suppose to visit in a couple days.. She shook her head and pushed her hair back.
"Okay that would be the worst suggestion of the day.." She mumbled, turning the water to cold. "Let's just cool down.. And stop talking to myself.. In the shower-I'm still doing it." She finished her shower and began to dry herself off. And when she walked out her hair was still drying with some help of her semblance so her eyes were currently red.
She was in the process of putting on the last article of clothing which was a leather jacket with a high collar. She'd decided to be casual. Yellow low cut shirt, the jacket, blue tight jeans and her boots with the signature purple cloth tied to her leg. She also wore her necklace with the purple gem hanging right over the collar of her shirt. Though as she was going to get the jacket over her shoulders she wasn't paying enough attention to her front.
"Yang wait-" But the warning came too late and the blonde soon found herself on the floor with a minor headache and her jacket barely over her shoulders. "And there goes my book.." Yang looked up as amber eyes looked down, somehow being the one on the bottom. Blake was on all four, Yang's hands having gone to Blake's hips in an automatic try to spare her the fall.
"Ah.. Blake sorry I spaced out." She said, gulping a bit as she glanced down. Seeing the hickey she'd made yesterday thanks to the scarf having been loosened by the fall.
"Ehm Yang you okay?
"Yes!" Yang answered a bit too quickly, snapping her eyes back up immediately. "W-Why do you ask?" Blake raised a brow in what seemed to be both confusion and worry.
"Well.. Your eyes are red. Did we not have any of your shampoo or something?" Yang blinked, her red eyes turning back to their soft violet color on one of these blinks as she smiled sheepishly.
"No. I was just.. Trying to dry off quicker. And this situation is a bit.. Well.." She looked down again, eyes widening when she realized just how loose Blake's shirt was as the collar was sagging a bit. Yang resisted the urge to clench her fingers on Blake's hip, knowing well how close said fingers were to her exposed skin. Her thoughts went back to the ones she'd had in the shower, blush creeping up on her face and she gulped thickly. She looks so gorgeous.. I never told her that did I? I'll have to do that.. And stop staring.
"Yang?" Shaking her head the blonde removed her hands from her partner's hips, letting them fall to the floor as she cleared her throat.
"E-Ehm.. W-Where's Ruby and Weiss?" She asked, partly to change the subject and keep her mind from reeling, and partly because she was actually wondering. Since if they were in here Weiss would definitely have said something by now.
"They went out to check the time for the transports.. You sure you're okay?" Yang gulped and absentmindedly scraped her fingers on the floor.
"Yeah, fine. I'm just a little tired from training that's all." Blake furrowed her brows in worry once more.
"Then should we cancel?" She asked, Yang letting out a breath from her nose. Why are you so cute when you're worried?! What we should do is get off the floor!
"No, not that tired.. Ehm.. Blake, we should-" Yang cut herself off. If she said it straight out it wouldn't really sound right coming from her would it? And Blake would just worry more.
"Should what?"
"Well not that I'm complaining-" I'm just not in the right mindset for this position! "But we should probably get up. Or do you plan on being all over me in a literal sense all day?" Oh, that was a good one. I'll need to remember it.
Blake tilted her head down, resulting in seeing the half on jacket and slightly messed up collar of Yang's low cut shirt which made her blush and sit up. Thus giving way for Yang to finally get herself sitting as well.
"Sorry I didn't mean to-"
"It's fine. Here, let me fix that." Yang reached up and fixed the scarf so it was wrapped more securely around Blake's neck. For my sanity's sake. "Isn't this mine by the way?" She asked, hopeful to finally get her thoughts in another direction.
"Oh, yeah. It's not to hide anything and I hope you don't mind but.. I just felt like having a bit of your color is all.. It also smells like you so.." She said that last part very quietly, Yang not sure she'd heard her correctly.
"It what?" Blake shook her head, burying her chin into the scarf with a smile. Adorable.
"Nothing. You don't mind?"
"Of course not. Brighter colors suits you. But it is part of my mission gear so when me and Jaune go on the mission I'm gonna need.. It.." Yang trailed off as Blake got significantly gloomier with the mention of the mission. Letting out a breath through her nose, Yang glanced down at the scarf, back to Blake's eyes that had grown sad, then shrugged and leaned back on her hands. "Know what? Nevermind." Blake perked up.
"What?" She asked in confusion. Sympathetic smile on her lips, Yang reached up to push some of Blake's hair behind her ear.
"Since it suits you so well you can keep it until I get back." Sliding the back of her fingers along Blake's cheek she grinned. "We're gonna be together on the next mission anyway. Alright?" Blake smiled softly, grabbing Yang's hand and pressing it close.
"I sure hope so.." The small tremor and hesitation to her own words didn't go unnoticed and Yang sighed, turning her hand so she could pinch Blake's cheek. "Ow! Yang-"
"When I come back." She interrupted, voice as stern as her stare. "I expect a cliché run up hug with the call of my name and I'm gonna spin you around and kiss you. But I will have no crying!" Her stern look slowly melted into a warm smile as she went on. "Maybe some cliché music in the background and everyone can picture us in slow motion." She slid her thumb across her cheek. "And then you can give me my scarf back." She rubbed their noses together. "Deal?" Blake was silent, melting Yang's words and the meaning behind them and the look she gave her. It was a look Blake should recognize by now as Yang had given it to her often during Blake's insecure moments. Trust me, everything's gonna be okay. So, with a sigh and fond smile, Blake nuzzled into her hand once more.
"Not sure about the slow motion or run up but.. Deal." Yang resisted a chuckle. But the background music and call of my name is fine? You're so cute.
"Good." Though as she was about to say something more, Blake shifted just slightly on her lap, making her look down. And now she felt very much aware of how Blake was sitting. Her hand were on her thighs, as it had nowhere else to go or she didn't think about it was anyone's guess. She was sitting just above her knees-
"Yang?" At the sound of her name the blonde's heart jumped, hand behind her clenching just a little. Calm down.. She told herself, trying not to look affected by her racing heart as she looked up.
"Hm? What?"
"You were.. Spacing out again." Blake said, her brows furrowed in worry once more. Crap, I did it again.. Alright just stay calm. Get your mind out of the gutter.. Yang cleared her throat, smiling sheepishly.
"I'm fine, as I said, just a little tired." Blake still looked concerned and Yang cried on the inside. Why must you be so worried about me when this position is obviously what you should worry about? "Blake I'm really fine. And now while I would love to sit here with you we should probably stand up. I still need to brush my hair." Blake seemed hesitant about her actually being fine but just nodded in agreement, letting Yang's hand go.
"Alright just hold on, let me help you with your jacket." Blake said in a small mumble, reaching over to help get the jacket over the brawler's shoulders. Honestly Yang had totally forgotten about it. However, just as Blake grabbed a hold of the sides of the garment, the door opened. They both turned their heads, Weiss being on her way in however halted the second she saw them. And, with a blush on her face, she was quick in holding up her arm and stopping who they could only presume to be Ruby from entering.
"W-What are you two doing?!" She hissed, glaring at them. Blake, having the smallest of blushes on her cheeks, rolled her eyes and returned them to the jacket. Yang held up her hand as Blake pulled it up and fixed the collar.
"While I'm glad your first instinct is to shield my dear innocent sister's eyes nothing of that sort is happening here." Both because it'd be inappropriate and because no matter how my mind reels we're not doing it on the floor. "Blake's helping me put it on not off. And as to the position we're in it was accidental. I fell over Blake when I came out of the bathroom. Now let Ruby in." She said, both herself and Blake getting off the floor. Although Blake was still fine tuning Yang's collar and the front of her jacket as Weiss let Ruby inside, looking cautious all the same.
"What are you guys talking about?" Ruby asked, confused as to why she was kept from coming inside. Yang waved it away.
"It's nothing Ruby." She said, stepping away from Blake who was now done to go grab her comb. All the while Ruby tried to get Weiss to tell her what had happened. Though as she grabbed it and was about to start brushing, a hand too familiar came and held her back. She turned to Blake who had her head slightly tilted down, mouth open as to say something but coming out short. Yang raised a brow at this odd behaviour, waiting for the faunus to speak but when nothing came decided to make good on the mental note she gave herself earlier.
"Blake." Amber looked up and she grinned, reaching for the bow with her free hand but being careful not to touch and disturb it. "The new bow really suits you. Violet? Didn't want you thinking I didn't notice." Blake seemed to perk up at the mention, happy Yang had noticed this small change.
"Thanks, I seem to remember someone saying I'm more vibrant violet than black." Yang chuckled, letting her hand down to her side.
"And I'm sticking to it. Your whole outfit looks gorgeous kitten." Not to mention that stomach though. "I'm planning on thoroughly showing my appreciation by not taking my eyes off you for more than ten seconds." While she said this she leaned over and rubbed their noses together playfully. She knew however that no matter how Blake took this, as her just being flirty or serious, it was a fact not a suggestion. Blake just smiled at the comment, not giving much more of a response. And after she took a breath, she slid her hand from Yang's to the comb she was holding.
"W-Well I was going to ask if I could brush your hair."
"Aw, but then I'm gonna have to turn away from you."
"Then can I?" Blake asked, tone serious but nervous which caught Yang off guard. Looking into Blake's eyes she could see the same nervous light but also some anticipation in there. Like she was hoping it was a yes. While others would not ask this question with such a tone to their voice, Blake knew Yang didn't let just anyone take care of her hair. So she also looked prepared for her request to be denied. It almost amused Yang how serious Blake seemed to be about it. But she more appreciated it than anything as it just showed how aware Blake was to the fact she was cautious about anyone else then herself taking care of her hair. So, with a small ponder, she smiled. She knew Blake would be careful, the rose she took out of her hair the other day proving as much. So giving a shrug she unraveled her fingers from the comb and pushed it up into Blake's hand.
"If you can pull a thorn filled rose out of my hair without damaging it, brushing it should be a breeze." She tried to make a joke out of it but Blake's brightened smile had her just melting. Why did you have to be so adorable? Clearing her throat Yang walked over to the desk to sit down on the chair, ignoring the two silent girls still by the door she twisted the chair around so she could lean on the back of it. Giving easy access to her hair. It didn't make long for Blake to get up behind her, placing her hand on her hair first and waiting for her to take a breath before starting.
Honestly, Blake was great. She took her time when she hit a stop, smoothly pulling her free hand along the trail of the brush. Yang resisted a chuckle as Blake even took the smallest pauses with the brush to pull her fingers through the newly brushed area. Only to pull the brush over it again to mask the fact she just did it because she wanted to not because it was necessary. Though Yang didn't complain. She just relaxed her shoulders and closed her eyes with a small hum of satisfaction.
"This is so awesome." Ruby whispered, if you could call it that with how loud she was.
"Why?" Weiss asked with her own too loud whisper.
"Yang never lets anyone brush her hair. Well except for me. Dad was banned from it ages ago and so was uncle Qrow. I may be way too excited for this but this is a big thing."
"I would say you are but if it's as you say I guess it's a.. Good thing?"
"Oh yeah-"
"Guys." Blake interrupted, stopping in her movements as she turned her head to them. "We can hear you." Yang opened her eyes to glance at them as well, Ruby scratching her neck sheepishly while Weiss blushed a bit in embarrassment. "Listen if you two are done you can wait outside. We'll be right there."
"Right, of course. Transport leaves in thirty minutes. So.. Yeah.." Ruby mumbled, backing up on the door and awkwardly opening it, quick to pull Weiss out with her and closing it with a click. Blake chuckled as she continued with her task, Yang going back to enjoying the feeling.
"I think we're gonna have to make this a thing. You're really good at it." Yang hummed letting out a breath of satisfaction as Blake was finishing.
"If you want me to." And as Bake placed the comb on the desk, the blonde grabbed her retreating hand, bringing it up to place a soft kiss on the back.
"I trust you with it." A small silence later Blake leaned into her back and wrapped her free hand around her stomach.
"I'm glad you do." Blake said, her voice coming off as affectionate but it was a dysable lower than usual which made Yang's heart jump. "Also." She tapped her finger on Yang's stomach. "I wanted to compliment you on your outfit as well. Shirt suits you as usual." Yang gulped silently when Blake tugged slightly on said shirt. She did wear low cut shirts often with her outfits. And had also heard this compliment many times. But with many things, when Blake did it, she found herself blushing at the compliment and the tone used when saying it. But, she tried to be quick in her answer to not be seen spaced out again.
"Not the outfit I would say would make jaws fall to the floor but if it's good enough for you then that's all I need." Blake chuckled, kissing Yang's cheek.
"Well, to me your look is always jaw dropping. Even if I don't always show it." Yang laughed, turning in the chair to give Blake an sceptical look.
"Did you just make a pun?" The faunus shrugged, leaning down to kiss Yang's forehead.
"Purrhaps. But don't tell Weiss." Grinning now, Yang stood and pecked Blake's lips.
"Dust I love you."
"I love you too. Now let's go before they come looking for us." Still holding hands they left the dorm, seeing Weiss and Ruby just down the hall talking.
"Oh, there you are. Ready to roll?" Ruby said as they approached. Yang gave a thumbs up with her free hand.
"As ready as a charging Boarbatusk let's go!" The two sisters cheered, their partners just watching their dorks being silly with smiles on their faces. So they made their way to the transport, heading to Vale for their double date.
Me: I kid you not.. This took, so many drafts. There was like ten. To which like four I deleted permanently cause they were so bad.
Blake: Are you okay? *crouched down as Wolf is on the floor*
Yang: Feeling floored?
Blake: Yang, not now.
Me: I'm fine.. Just tired.. It's like.. Seven in the morning. I've been up all night finishing this up.. Kept making changes.. And now.. Now I'm finally done! I don't care if the ending is rushed or if it sucks! I'm done!
Blake: *pats Wolf's head* It's okay, the chapter is great.
Me: It was suppose to be longer you know.. The double date was suppose to be written in the same chapter.. But I just felt like no. I want to take my time on that and I've already taken so much time on this and I felt so bad for taking so long to update and-
Blake: It's okay. Your cubs will understand. You do have a life outside writing too. You did good.
Me: *cries* Thank you Blake. Compliments give me energy.. Although it's energy I'm gonna spend later as I'm now going to go to bed..
Blake: You heard her. Leave a review or PM her if that's more to your liking. She always answers when she has the time.. Or in this case energy. It's always appreciated.
Me: And by the way this story is doing way better than I thought. Thank you guys so much. I love you all.
Yang: My turn? Alright, see you all next chapter! X3
