Sorry about it being late, again. I had trouble with Neal's and Ashley's part and I had to get ready for my own Valentine's Day plans. I don't own RWBY. Enjoy Warning fluff alert.
All was peaceful in RADN's dorm room, Dante and Neal were dressing up in fancy suits, Raphael was sitting on the windowsill trying to nap, while Ashley was nowhere to be found in the room. However the silence couldn't last because there was a knock on the door. "Raphael, can you get that?" Dante asked. Raphael sighed and got up grumbling about wanting to sleep. When he opened the door, he saw a rather beautiful student, with blue eyes, and shoulder length black hair, wearing a bright blue t-shirt and a white-grey skirt.
"Hey Azure, what's up?" Raphael asked, as Dante made kissy faces behind his back causing the girl to blush. "And please, ignore my idiot partner."
"Well, you know it's, well it's Valentine's Day, and I was just, uh, here." She said flustered holding out a box of chocolates.
"Thanks, I'm sure they'll be great." He accepted the gift with a smile.
"Bye." She said walking away blushing. The team leader closed the door and put the chocolates on his bed with the others.
"So number 13. Man, you are popular with the ladies." Dante said teasingly. "By the way can you help with this?" Dante asked holding out a yellow tie to his team leader.
"I don't know why I am though." He said tying the tie around his own neck. "I mean, I haven't done anything to try to woo any girls."
"I think it's because they see you standing up to Cardin, you have a generally likeable personality, when it comes to other students, and everyone saw you in your boxers in the first week of school." Neal said, while combing his hair. Both Raphael and Dante stare at him.
"Neal are you gay for me?" The brunette asks while handing the tie back to his partner. Neal just gives him a look that says 'no'.
"Well anyway, what are you even going to do with all these chocolates?" Dante asks while putting the tie around his neck. "How do I look?" He asked wearing a silver suit jacket and pants, a white shirt, and the yellow tie.
"I don't know. Eat them, maybe share them with Ruby. She likes sweets. You look better than usual, I'll give you that." Raphael went back to his spot on the windowsill.
"Dude, do you have the hots for Ruby?" This time Raphael gave Dante the look. "Okay, okay. It would be awesome though. If you marry Ruby and I marry Yang, you'd be my brother-in-law."
"That would be pretty awesome. Unfortunately, I don't feel that way about Ruby and I would prefer if Yang left my genitals alone, thank you very much."
"Come on dude. Live life a little. If you don't hurry, you'll end up old and alone, and speak for yourself." Raphael snorted.
"Please. I think it's clear that if I wanted a date for tonight, then I would get one, and I was."
"Then?"
"I don't want one. Besides, there's no rush. I'm still young." Dante was about to retort, when Neal grunted in frustration.
"Forget it. I'm done." He said putting the comb down and running his hand through his hair. He was wearing a dark red shirt, with a black tie and pants.
"Hair 1, Neal 0." Dante chuckled. Just then the door knocked again. "Well, is this number 14." Raphael rolled his eyes and opened the door, revealing Blake.
"Hey Blake, what's up?" Raphael asked leaning against the door frame.
"I was just on my way to the library, just wanted to give you this." She said with a slight blush handing Raphael a box of chocolates.
"Thanks Blake. I'm sure they taste amazing." He replied with a genuine smile.
"Well, I'm going to go to the library now. Bye."
"Bye." He closes the door once she walks away. He turns to his teammates to see equal looks of disbelief. "What?"
"Are you serious?" Dante asked surprised.
"I'm pretty sure I didn't make a joke, so yeah." He sat on the windowsill eating the chocolates he just received. "Why? What did I do?"
"Blake wanted you to offer to take her out."
"She did? Why?" Dante rolled his eyes at Raphael.
"So let me get this straight. You can woo, flirt, get numbers, but you don't know when a girl wants you?" Raphael was so surprised he started choking on one of the sweets. He sat up pounding his chest.
"Whoa whoa whoa. What?" He asked after calming down.
"Blake wants to be with you in a romantic sense." A small blush fell upon the team leader's cheeks.
"No she doesn't, we're just friends."
"So, all those other girls just want to be friends with you two?" He asked sarcastically.
"They're different!"
"How?"
"They're not..." He trailed off before stretching his scarf up.
"Not what?" Dante asked with a grin.
"As interesting as this is I have to go pick up Ashley for our date." Neal interjected. "See you tonight." After that he walked out of the room leaving the partners alone.
"Shouldn't you be going to?"
"No, reservations with Yang are at 7:30. So I still got half an hour before I have to go pick up Yang. Now, back to the original question. They're not what?" Raphael let out a sigh. He knew he couldn't stay quiet about it for the entire 30 minutes.
"They're not Blake." Dante gave him a look that said 'keep on going'. "She's... more important to me than that, okay?"
"You love her." Dante teased.
"Shut up." The brunette replied, throwing a chocolate at his partner, which ended up in his mouth. "I'm not sure it's love, but I am sure it's more than just friends."
"Then tell her." Raphael chuckled and looked out the window. They were silent for a few minutes before Dante spoke again. "Anyway, I lied about having half an hour. I gotta go now. Later." He said before running out the door.
"Thing is," Raphael said to himself, "Blake deserves someone who will be there when she needs him most. I'm not sure that's me."
Neal and Ashley were sitting at a table on a pavilion of a fancy little cafe, right beside the lake. Ashley in a bright crimson dress, that reached down to her feet. "You know," Ashley started, "I really like this place. It's nice, but simple. Kind of like you." Neal raised an eyebrow at her.
"I'm not sure if that was a compliment or an insult."
"Compliment, obviously. How did you find this place? It's really out of the way."
"I had Dante and Raphael help me find it." He said casually as she laughed a little. "And I know it's a little early in the night for this, but Happy Valentine's day." He said making a gesture with his hands. The waiter came and gave Ashley a bouquet of red roses and a small rectangular box wrapped in a red and white strapped wrapping paper. She took the gifts graciously.
"Happy Valentine's Day Neal." She said leaning over the table to give him a quick kiss. After admiring the roses she put the down and opened the present, revealing a chain necklace with a red locket on it. She opened the locket and couldn't stop the small laugh that escaped her lips. Inside was the picture she forced the two to take in the first week of school. She had a bright big smile on her face with an arm hanging off Neal's shoulder, who had a significantly smaller smile, and looked a little awkward. "That's the picture you went with?" She asked, amusement clearly in her voice.
"I thought you would like it." He defended.
"Well, you were right. Would you mind helping me put it on?" She asked, stretching her hand towards him. He took the jewelry with a smile and rose out of his chair. He went behind her, and after she lifter her hair, he wrapped he necklace around her neck, but didn't stop there. He moved his mouth to her exposed neck and trailed slow, long kisses down her neck. A blush fell upon her cheeks as she started to softly moan. Once he reached her dress, he went back up her neck, and softly nibbled on her ear. "Neal... not here..." She moaned unable to control herself.
"As you wish, milady." He whispered into her ear, causing a shiver to go down her spine. He sat back down on her chair and gave her a small smirk.
"When did you get so good?" She asked trying to get rid of the blush on her face.
"You tend to give me some good experience." He said shrugging his shoulders.
"Neal!" The blush coming back with a vengeance, as she covered her face.
"You shouldn't cover such a beautiful face." He gently took her hands in his own and lowered them as he spoke.
"Wow. I wish it was Valentine's day every day. I wouldn't mind seeing this side of you more often." She said and there was a peaceful air around them for the rest of the night.
Dante was guiding Yang, who was wearing a white dress (a/n the one she wears to the dance) through the streets of Vale arms interlocked. "Come on Dante, just tell me where we're going." She begged.
"Then there wouldn't be a surprise. How come whenever someone says they have a surprise the other party wants to know so badly?"
"Because that's all I can think about and you did that on purpose didn't you!" Yang accused pointed a finger at her date.
"Yang," he said surprised putting a hand on his chest, "how could you think I would ever do something of the sort?" He asked dramatically before falling into a fit of giggles. "Yeah, I totally did it on purpose. It's just so fun to tease you." He kissed her cheek while she rolled her eyes before turning her head to his, her lips centimetres from his.
"You're not the only one who knows how to tease." She spoke, lips barely touching as she spoke, before pulling away leaving Dante momentarily wide eyed.
"Touche. Oh and we're here." He waved his hand to the restaurant in front of them.
"Dante this is the fanciest place in Vale! How did you get reservations here!?" Yang asked gaping at him.
"I have my ways." He simply said with a smirk. "Come on, let's go in. He walked her to the door as an attendant opened the door for them and walked straight to the podium, bypassing the line. When he reached the receptionist he said, in a french accent, "Table for two, under Blanc Wolfe." The man started sweating and immediately led them to a window table. They were alone for a mere seconds before the silence was broken.
"Blanc Wolfe?" Yang asked bemused.
"So I kind of called this place and said 'I know your dark little secret. If you don't want me to tell anyone than give me a table for two on Valentine's day.' I had to give them a false name or else they might try to find me." Dante whispered in his regular voice.
"What's their dark little secret?"
"I don't know. I just said that and here we are." Yang laughed in response.
"You're something else Dante." She said shaking her head.
"In a good way or bad?" He leaned closer as he spoke.
"I don't know, but I'll be sure to tell you when the night ends." She said leaning in as well.
"Can't wait." Was all that was said before they sealed the kiss. They broke apart when they heard a throat being cleared.
"Your menus." Hand the couple the menus.
"Ah," Dante said, his french accent coming back, "thank you Jeeves." When he left Yang raised an eyebrow at the prankster.
"Jeeves? Really?"
"What? Don't tell me you never wanted to say that to a waiter." He defended his choice in names. "Jeeves is the most often used term for a butler or waiter." Yang conceded to his point and they both ordered. The meal was carried out in a relative silence as they enjoyed the fancy food. Once they were done, Dante paid for the food, and the couple left.
"That was some good food." Yang said as they were walking trough a park.
"Yeah, maybe one day I'll be able to take you there through legal ways."
"You think about our future?" Yang asked surprised.
"Of course." He replied bluntly.
"Tell me, what do you see in our future?"
"I see you and me living in a nice small house, not too big, but not too small. I see two kids. A boy with your hair and my eyes, and a girl with my hair and your eyes. They argue a lot, but it's clear that they both care for each other, almost as much as we do." It was silent for a few minutes until Yang turned to Dante and wrapped her arms around him.
"I really like that future." She said kissing him. It was a soft and gentle kiss. When they broke apart Dante let out a sigh of relief.
"That was either going to be really sweet or scare you away." Yang laughed at what he said.
"Well looks like you won that gamble." They leaned their foreheads against each other, just looking at one another, until Dante remembered something.
"By the way," he started taking a velvet box out of his suit pocket, "happy Valentine's Day." She took the box and gently opened it revealing a ring with a small yellow gem stone on it.
"It's beautiful." She said taking it out.
"Thanks, and if you want you can consider it a promise ring."
"Dante." She whispered.
"You're my one and only Yang, I don't want to live without you."
"Yeah, it's the same with me." She said before kissing him.
"Hey?" Dante asked after pulling away.
"Hmm." She hummed as she started kissing his neck.
"You think we're going too fast?" Dante asked. Yang stopped and looked at him with a smile.
"I think we're going at the perfect speed for us." She continued kissing him and leaning on to him. The extra weight made him lose his balance and fall on his back. The two looked at each other before laughing. "Oh and Dante. Definitely in a good way." He smirked as he brought his head up to kiss her.
How did you like it. Review and if you haven't already; follow and favourite. See you next time on Dante's brith day, which is a completely arbitrary, but predetermined date. Later.
