To Vanitas Lunar:
THANK YOU THANKYOUTHANKYOU! Yes, Blake and Yang did need some time together after all the stress and frantic running they're now facing on top of their schoolwork and Huntress duties. I hope you like this chapter and we'll try and keep up the cuteness!
To Wolfy Schnee:
Please don't die! Blake might do something with her shadows, it's a good idea that I plan to use. Thanks for the idea and review!
To Jay aka Jordan:
AWE! Thanks! Don't worry, Weiss will definitely grow to like Pyrrha, just not as fast as Ruby has, and will hopefully be excited about Nora soon! And yes, they did deserve a break after the crazy few days they've had. I hope you like this chapter! I'll definitely be all ears to hear from you. XD
To RWBY Fan Mode:
First off, thanks for your review! Now let me explain Pyrrha's dilemma with the girls. Pyrrha (from what we've found so far) is an only child and didn't really interact with smaller children growing up. So it's no surprise she struggled with Weiss, who is very attached to Blake, but not so much with Ruby, due to her open and friendly nature. But she got better with Nora's help. Nora, on the other hand, is an orphan and probably has more experience helping younger kids then anyone but Ren on her team. Lol The language Weiss speaks is German, it is very real.
To EndlessChains:
Thank you! We had to add in Zwei, what would we do without him? He's super cute and smart! True, Weiss is very attached to Blake but there is a reason behind that. Thanks again for your awesome review!
To BillGopher: First off thanks for the review! I'm glad you noticed their bond, I will actually be discussing more of that in the next chapter. And of course no filter, have you met a toddler with one? Lol Coco was fun to write and she brought up some serious points. As for the WF and the rest? Let's hope they stay far far away.
`…`…`…`…`…`…`…`…`…`…`…`…`…`…`…`
Blake woke up slowly, her ears flicking around as she listened to the sound of soft giggling and movement.
"Shhh," she heard one of the giggles say as Blake felt Yang's arm pull her closer and bury her face into the back of her hair. Immediately, the giggles resumed, followed by a soft thud that told her something was off. Slowly, Blake opened her eyes, blinking at the incoming light before finding a pair of bright blue eyes watching her with hands over her mouth trying to suppress light giggles. Ruby was on the floor with Zwei on top of her, laughing into his fur, her cloak actually missing.
"Good morning," Blake said, stretching slightly as she slid out of the bed giving Weiss a smile as she ruffled the girl's messy bed hair before going to the bathroom. Seeing her reflection when she got in the small space though sent her storming back into the room.
"RUN!" Ruby screamed, making Yang jump up and hit her head at the sudden sound, before opening her eyes to see Blake chasing Ruby and Weiss out of their room.
"What's going on?" Yang called after them as the door slowly swung closed leaving her alone in the room. "Guess I'll just…" Yang trailed off, not sure what she could do. After last night, Blake and her had returned just as Pyrrha and Nora were leaving their room and after exchanging a quick conversation the Bumblbee duo had entered their dorm to find Ruby and Weiss cuddled up together in Weiss's bed with Blake's sweater on Weiss. After making sure to get a shower, a rather long and nice one in Yang's opinion, both women had crawled into bed to escape the chilly air and fell asleep in each other's arms.
It was a lazy Saturday so she really didn't see the point of getting out of her pajamas either, and now that Weiss wasn't yelling at her to do so she really didn't want to. Without Blake to cuddle with she didn't want to stay in bed either, so she might as well get up and get breakfast ready since it was already close to ten.
"Crepes sound really good right now." Yang said with a yawn as she thought about the delicious pastry. "I think we've got some strawberries and bananas still." Yang mumbled as she made her way to the kitchen, looking around for Blake and their chibis as she did. Not seeing them Yang decided to just focus on making the breakfast, mentally glad they had all the ingredients for them as she moved around the space.
"Yang?" A small voice asked, making the blond jump and spin around, sending batter flying. Yang's eyes were wide as they landed on a batter splattered Weiss, waiting for a normal screaming reaction. "Hey!" Weiss said, wiping her face and laughing as Yang sighed in relief.
"Hey Weiss-y, what's up?" Yang asked, putting the small batter spoon down as she lifted Weiss up into her arms.
"Help?" Weiss asked, tracing her finger over Yang's cheek as the blond moved to the fridge to grab a small container of strawberries. As she did, Weiss gasped and reached towards a tube of blue icing, making Yang smile and gently bat her hand away.
"Sorry, but not till later. We can make you a blue one though." Yang told her, gently kicking the fridge door shut as she put the strawberries on the counter and dropped Weiss next to them. "Here, we need to wash our hands before we handle the food." Yang told her, turning on the warm water and grabbing the soap with one hand while grabbing Weiss's hands with the other.
"Okay, now I want you to help me cut up the bananas and strawberries. Sound good?" Yang asked as they dried their hands and she pulled a chair up to a spot next to her. "Be careful though." Yang said as she handed Weiss a butter knife to cut the bananas while she cut the strawberries. Weiss was hesitant to do anything but after seeing Yang do it with no problems she carefully peeled the bananas and cut them.
"Yang!" Blake's angry voice called from behind them as Yang helped Weiss make a small crepe a few minutes later.
"In here!" Yang called over her shoulder, turning her head slightly as she watched Weiss carefully flip the crepe. "What's up Kit Cat?" Yang asked as she finally turned her head to look at Blake.
"Pfft! You…look," Yang tried to say, biting her lip as her eyes burned from not laughing.
"You look just as good." Blake growled, holding Ruby like a doll as the younger sister grinned with her face red from running.
"What?" Yang asked in confusion, turning to check on Weiss before turning the stove down and grabbing her scroll to look at her reflection. "AH!" Yang yelled, grabbing her face as she looked at the black lines and little patches of colors all over it.
"What happened? How?" Yang asked as she looked at her sister then over where Weiss was supposed to be only to see it empty. "Weiss?" Yang said, spinning around in an attempt to find the small child as Ruby laughed.
"We wanted to put colors on your face too!" Ruby said, squealing when Blake lightly ghosted her fingers over the red head's sides.
"We don't put colors on sleeping people's faces." Blake said as Yang put her scroll down and started looking around for Weiss.
"Can we put it on feet and hands?" Ruby asked, looking up at Blake innocently as she rolled her eyes and put her down.
"No, now help me find Weiss so Yang can cook." Blake said, nodding over at Yang as she reluctantly went back to making the food, using the kitchen sink to scrub at the make-up on her face.
"I got these feelings for you! And I can't help myself no more! Can't fight these feelings for you!" The TV suddenly blared, making a small white haired child jump out from behind it with a scream.
"It's alive!" Ruby yelled as Weiss ran past her and into Blake's legs, wrapping her arms around Blake's thigh while Ruby turned and ran to Yang.
"You and me let's go all night! Going so high, we f*ck the sky! Come with me now, f*ck that guy! Look at her, look at her oh!" The TV kept blaring, as Blake lifted Weiss into her arms and quickly shut the TV off, creating a ringing silence.
"What does f*ck mean?" Ruby asked in the silence, making Blake pale as Yang burst into laughter. "What?" Ruby asked, looking from Yang to Blake in confusion.
"Rubes, don't say that word. It means something really…bad." Yang said, her eyes darting over to Blake as she glared at Yang, daring her to say what it really meant.
"But he said it." Ruby argued as Weiss started to squirm in Blake's arms.
"Not so fast Princess." Blake said, taking a firmer hold on Weiss as she looked at Blake guiltily from where Blake was holding her out at arm's length. "Next time, only do it to Yang." Blake said with a smile, before hugging the child and sitting down on the couch. Weiss looked up at her in shock as Blake turned the TV back on, making sure to keep the volume down as she searched for suitable cartoons.
"Strawberry and banana crepes for the ladies, with chocolate for the kids." Yang said as she passed a plate to Blake while Ruby held out a blue one to Weiss. Ruby already had traces of chocolate and powdered sugar on her face and only grinned when Yang absently wiped a bit off. "So what's the plan for today? Other than getting our awesome faces washed." Yang asked with a smile as Blake ate a slice of strawberry, her eyes on the cartoon of a boy with a special watch fighting a creature.
"Maybe we can take them down to Vale? Keeping them inside is only going to cause us problems." Blake said as she looked down to see Weiss eating Ruby's banana's while Ruby ate Weiss's strawberries. "Besides, we're going to need new make-up." She added as she motioned to their faces.
"Sounds like a good idea." Yang said as she ate her crepe, nudging Ruby with her elbow. "Eat your own food." She said when both girls looked up at her. Ruby pouted up at Yang while Weiss stole one last piece of banana off of Ruby's plate before she could be stopped.
"Weiss," Blake said as Yang poked her stuffed cheeks. "Eat your food." She said, as Weiss tried to glare at an amused Yang. Blake rolled her eyes, sort of glad that even as a child, Weiss still got annoyed with Yang.
"Hey!" Yang exclaimed as she looked down at her plate to see most of her strawberries gone and Ruby with fresh strawberry juice on her face. "Strawberry thief." Yang growled with fake anger as she put her finger on Ruby's nose making her younger lean back and go cross eyed starring at Yang's finger.
"I'm not a thief!" Ruby said, holding up her fork and poking at Yang's finger.
"Oh yeah, then what's that…right…there!" Yang said, moving their plates slowly before grabbing Ruby and tickling under her neck and along her sides. "I see strawberry juice!" Yang said as Ruby squealed and tried to fight out of Yang's arms.
"Noooo!" Ruby cried between tears as Yang tickled her, grinning and ignoring the way Weiss looked at Blake with a 'you better not' look while Blake continued eating her crepes. "I'm…not….thief!" Ruby screamed, tears in her eyes as Yang continued her onslaught, drawing more loud laughs.
"Are you done?" Blake asked, looking down at Weiss as she blinked and looked down at her plate. "Three bites," Blake said at the sight of the nibbled at food, holding up three fingers as Weiss pouted.
"Done now?" She asked instead of taking a bite, looking up at Blake with big puppy eyes. Blake was mentally proud of herself for not breaking under the look, her three years with Ruby's begging giving her a small resistance to the adorable look, but just barely.
"Nope. Three bites." Blake said, tapping the plate with her fork before turning to look at Yang as she smirked at a downed toddler laying against her limply and panting for breath. "Satisfied?" Blake asked with a small smile as Yang looked up at her and gave her a quick kiss.
"Now I am." She whispered against Blake's lips. Blake hummed and pulled away, her eyes going to Ruby as the girl finally seemed to regain herself and reached for a stray strawberry on her plate.
"Done!" Weiss said, though it was hard to understand with her cheeks stuffed full of pastry and her face dusted with traces of powdered sugar.
"Alright, you and Rubes go get dressed while we clean up." Yang laughed as Weiss nodded and jumped down, grabbing Ruby's arm and pulling her out of Yang's arms. "Brush your teeth!" Yang called after them before falling back on the couch with a sigh.
"Penny for your thoughts?" Blake asked as she moved their plates out of their way.
"Nah, I'll take a kitty instead though." Yang said as she pulled Blake onto her lap and wrapped her arms around her. Both sat in comforting silence, not paying much attention to the TV though both were staring at it.
"So what is it?" Blake asked softly, leaning slightly into Yang's neck as she spoke, the other woman's scent washing over her and helping her relax.
"It's stupid, just forget it." Yang said with a sigh, a key sign that she didn't think it was stupid. "What?" Yang asked as Blake sat up and gave her a glare.
"Talk." Blake commanded, watching as Yang opened her mouth to deny it before she closed it and laid back. "Yang," Blake said softer, concerned on what had the blond upset.
"Is it weird that I don't actually want them to change back?" Yang asked slowly, her voice so soft Blake was sure she would have missed it if she hadn't had her Faunus features. "I mean, I loved my sister and Weiss when they were normal but…" Yang tried to explain, her face twisted with guilt as she tried to explain her feelings to Blake.
"Is it because of our missions? Ruby and Weiss are proficient fighters and have pro-" Blake started, stopping when Yang shook her head at her.
"It's not just that. Ruby's the baby of the team and Weiss is tiny. Both of them have been in the infirmary more times than either of us combined. Like this, they don't need to fight, or worry about grades or anything. They're safer." Yang told her, looking up at her with emotions swimming in her eyes.
"But like this Weiss is in more danger and Ruby isn't able to defend herself from anyone. Yesterday proved how easy it is too. If Coco's team hadn't been the ones to find them…I don't know what we would have done." Blake said, gently brushing a hand over Yang's cheek. "I understand wanting to protect them, but just like us they need to learn. We can't just hover over them till they blow up at us." Blake said, referring to how Yang once hovered over her sister their first year and how Ruby had eventually blown up. Yang sighed, leaning into Blake's hand and closing her eyes.
"I know, but is it wrong?" Yang asked her voice soft as Blake leaned forward and put her forehead against Yang's.
"No, I feel the same way. It just means we love and want to protect them." Blake whispered, smiling slightly when Yang sighed in relief, glad she was able to help the blond. "Now, I don't know about you but I'd like to wash my face and you missed a few spots." Blake said, lightly kissing Yang's nose before standing up, grabbing the plates and taking them to the kitchen to wash.
"I'll wash these, you go clean up and get the girls." Yang said, turning the hot water on and grabbing the soap. Blake nodded and made her way to their room, her ears immediately picking up the sound of giggles as she opened the door.
"You're kidding." Blake deadpanned as she saw Weiss and Ruby with the last of the group's make-up around the two and covering their faces and hands.
"Pretty!" Weiss said proudly as she and Ruby looked up at her as Blake rubbed her temples.
….
"Blake! Yang!" A familiar male voice called as Blake and Yang existed the small make-up shop with Ruby and Weiss holding their free hands.
"Sun," Blake said in surprise as the Monkey Faunus ran up to her with his ever present smile. "Neptune," Blake greeted as she watched the other Faunus's best friend join them.
"Nice to see you Blake. How's it hanging Yang?" Neptune asked as Sun asked how Blake had been since they had last seen each other.
"Goggles!" Ruby cheered, pulling on Yang's arm as she stared up at Neptune's signature goggles. Yang looked down at a star struck Ruby, rolling her eyes as Ruby let go of her hand to tackle a surprised Neptune's legs. "I see?" Ruby said childishly, grinning up at Neptune as he looked at a smirking Yang.
"Wha?" Neptune said stupidly, his eyes going over to his teammate to see him using his tail to entertain Weiss. "Who?" Neptune asked, shaking his head and trying to figure out the situation.
"Ruby and Weiss were in a dust accident." Blake said in simplest terms, smiling apologetically to the taller young man as Weiss finally ventured out from behind Blake in an attempt to grab Sun's tail.
"I don't know about you, but Princess is way cuter this way." Sun said as he tapped Weiss's nose with his tail before laughing as she sneezed. He grinned as he noticed the small pink and white headband on the girl's head, looking up at Blake with a raised brow as she blushed lightly and rested her hand on Weiss' head, right between the two fake cat ears attached to the headband. "Ears?" He asked as Weiss smiled up at Blake, her own hands wrapping around Blake's wrist.
"I kitty like Blake!" Weiss told him proudly, making him bend over laughing as Blake fought to keep her blush from growing, turning to look at Yang laughing at her sister and Neptune.
"Please?" Ruby whined from Neptune's feet, holding up her arms and making grabbing motions at him as Yang giggled into her now free hand. Neptune hesitantly lifted the tiny leader up into his arms, leaning back slightly and holding Ruby slightly away from him.
"Don't hold her like that or you'll drop her." Yang said causing Neptune to immediately pull the chibi scythe wielder against his chest and wrap his arms around her in a tight hug. "Or like that. Here." Yang said dropping her bag on the ground as she fixed Neptune's arms around Ruby until she was satisfied.
"Is she supposed to be like this?" Neptune asked in a slightly strained voice as he leaned away from Ruby's reaching hands trying to steal his goggles. Ruby was starting to whine at the lack of results, pulling on Neptune's jacket in an attempt to give herself more reach as he leaned just out of it.
"Ruby, we don't mess with people's hair or stuff." Yang warned making the four year old drop back into Neptune's arms and cross her arms with a pout.
"I got a question." Sun spoke up loudly, Weiss in his arms and holding his tail. "Want to join us in our walk around the city? We can go to the park." He grinned, getting a cheer from Ruby as Weiss looked over at Blake before nodding.
"That should be fine." Blake said with a smile as Weiss smiled at her happily before turning to Ruby and saying something in her own tongue that only Ruby seemed to understand.
….
"Bake! Bake!" Weiss' excited voice carried out drawing Blake's attention to where the small child sat at the top of a large primary blue slide. "Look!" She yelled when she saw Blake watching her, sliding down the slide with a loud squeal as Yang left her spot next to Blake to go catch the girl. Neptune and Sun had left earlier, getting a call for a hunt from another member of their team but had promised to see them soon.
"Alright!" Yang cheered, grabbing Weiss around her middle and holding her up in the air. Blake smiled at the pair as Yang carefully spun her around with a laugh. "Wanna do it again?" Yang asked her, getting a sharp nod in response as Ruby ran up to Blake.
"Hey Ruby what's wrong?" Blake asked as she saw her big silver eyes fill with tears.
"I can't swing!" Ruby whined, pointing to the empty swings as Blake pulled Ruby into her lap and gently wiped at her tears.
"Is someone stopping you?" Blake asked in confusion as Ruby sniffed and shook her head.
"No," Ruby said pitiful and looked up at her with big hurt puppy eyes.
"Then what's wrong?" Blake asked as she looked back at the swings and noted that they were actually a bit higher than Ruby could climb.
"They to big!" Ruby cried as Blake gave her a small smile and gently shushed her while she casually lifted Ruby up onto her hip.
"Here, let me help. Okay?" Blake said as she approached the swings and carefully put Ruby down in one of them, making sure her legs weren't going to be pinched from the seat as Ruby stopped crying and grinned up at Blake.
"Yay!" Ruby cheered, bouncing in the toddler swing and making it sway gently before giggling and clapping her hands as Blake gently pulled the swing forward and let go. "Higher!" Ruby yelled happily, a huge grin splitting her face as she laughed and Blake carefully pulled the swing higher up before letting go.
"What is your problem?" Blake heard Yang yell a while later, drawing her attention away from Ruby to look over at her girlfriend. Yang was holding Weiss and glaring at an older woman that had a small boy standing beside her.
"Aw," Ruby whined when Blake gently stopped her swinging and pulled her out of the swing. "I wanna swing." Ruby said, looking up at Blake as she walked over to Yang.
"Yang, is everything okay?" Blake spoke up as she got closer, drawing the woman's attention to her as Yang continued to glare at her.
"Yes." Yang growled, her arms tightening around Weiss as she glared at the smug woman. "Let's get out of here. This place stinks." She told Blake, turning and giving Blake a harsh kiss on the lips, drawing a disgusted gasp from their watcher before quick footsteps left them.
"Wh-what was that about?" Blake asked, slightly breathless as Yang broke the kiss, her eyes turning apologetic as she looked at Blake.
"A lot of people are assholes." Yang told her and pulled a broken headband out of the pouch at her waist. Blake gapped at the broken toy, confusion and anger circling her as she looked up at Yang then at Weiss. "Weiss had her headband ripped off by that little brat and it broke. When I demanded he apologize his mother jumped on me and started spouting shit about teen mothers being drug addicts and sluts and…It was just aggravating." Yang said, forcing herself to stop and take a deep breath as Weiss started to shake in her arms.
"Weiss?" Blake said softly, rubbing the girl's back as she tightened her hold on Yang and turned away from Blake's hold. Blake frowned, hurt at the reaction as Yang put the broken toy back in her pouch and gently rubbed circles on Weiss' back.
"Let's go." Yang said softly, watching Blake nod and adjust Ruby on her hip before both left the small park.
`…`…`…`…`…`
It didn't take the group long to get back to their dorm, Ruby had fallen asleep on the way, the long day finally catching up to her as they rode the airship back to Beacon. Weiss had yet to lift her head up from Yang's shoulder and both women were worried but hadn't said anything out loud throughout the trip.
"Weiss? Talk to me." Yang whispered as Blake gently set Ruby down on the bed and pulled off her tiny cloak and shoes. Blake looked over at Yang to see Weiss shaking her head and holding onto her tan jacket more tightly.
"Weiss, what happened?" Blake asked in a soft whisper as she moved to sit down next to Yang, trying to get the toddler to look at her at least as Yang slipped off her shoes as well.
"No me," Weiss mumbled against Yang, the words barely understandable to the duo as they shared a look.
"What do you mean?" Blake asked, gently wrapping a hand around Weiss' and pulling it off of Yang.
"I sorry," Weiss said, her shoulders shaking as her tiny hand gripped Blake's fingers. "Bitte geh nicht weg." Weiss cried, finally turning her face to look at Blake with tears running down her face and biting her lip. Without even thinking about it, Yang and Blake both wrapped Weiss in a tight hug and started whispering soft words of comfort. Even if they hadn't understood the words, it wasn't hard to figure out that Weiss was hurting. (Please don't leave me.)
"You're okay, I promise." Blake whispered, gently kissing Weiss's forehead as she wiped her tears while Yang rubbed her back gently and kept her semblance at a comforting warmth.
"No kitty." Weiss cried, burying her face into her hands as Blake gently pulled Weiss into her lap and gently repeated that Weiss was okay. "Nein! No kitty!" Weiss argued, pulling on her ears roughly and surprising Blake.
"Woah, shhh. Weiss, you're fine." Blake said, grabbing Weiss' wrists with one hand and pulling Weiss closer to her and trying to figure out why Weiss was so upset. Ruby had gotten up at some point and Blake watched as Yang carefully prodded the girl and Zwei into the bathroom to get a bath, leaving Blake alone in their dorm room with Weiss. "Weiss, are you upset about your ears?" Blake asked, gently tapping the girl's ears and then taking off her bow to flick her own. It took Weiss a minute to calm down and notice before she nodded her head sadly.
"I see," Blake whispered, relieved that it wasn't that serious as she pulled Weiss against her once more and gently swayed side to side as Weiss' small sobs lessened into nothing.
"No kitty. Blake leave." Weiss said with a broken voice, one that made Blake's ears lay back as she froze and looked down at the way Weiss held onto her. That was when it clicked for Blake as she realized why Weiss was so upset. It wasn't because her toy had broken or because Yang had gotten angry -though that might be a factor- it was because she was scared Blake would leave if she wasn't like her.
"No sweetheart, I'm not leaving." Blake whispered, loosening her arms as Weiss looked up at her with a small flicker of hope in her eyes.
"No leave?" Weiss asked timidly, making Blake's heart crack as she nodded and pulled Weiss back into a hug.
"Never." She whispered and let herself relax as Weiss gently gave her a kiss on the cheek and melted in her arms with a yawn.
Blake leaned back on her pillows as Weiss slowly fell asleep, exhausted from the long day. She lazily turned her head as she heard a click and saw Yang holding her scroll in one hand and using the other to hold up a mostly asleep Ruby.
"I think we could all use a nap." Yang said with a nod as she set her scroll down and climbed behind Blake, being careful not to bump Weiss or Ruby as she did. "You okay, Kitty?" Yang asked as Blake gently turned on her side and set Weiss on the bed next to her.
"Yeah, just tired." Blake said, giving Yang a soft kiss. "We need to talk later." She told her as she turned and quickly set an alarm to wake them up in two hours.
"After dinner," Yang yawned as she pulled a blanket over all of them. "When these two go to sleep." She added as Blake hummed in agreement, already half asleep.
"Night, Yang." Blake mumbled as she fell asleep with Yang's hand in her own and with Weiss snuggled up to her.
