Bumbleby Daycare
Summary: Blake and Yang spend a fun day at the carnival.
It's Saturday morning a day a time when nearly no kids come, I still had to open the daycare though. Since there was no one coming by I decided to sit down, drink some tea, and read my novel. That was the plan before a certain blonde teenager opened the doors marched up to me and made an outrageous request.
"Blake, please fall in love with me." What a bold teenage girl Yang has grown up to be, too bad she hasn't grown any smarter. Reluctantly I put down my book on the table in front of me and turn to face towards Yang.
"I humbly deny your request." I reject her as I rub my temples trying to soothe my headache.
"Another rejection huh?" Yang weakly sighed. "You're one tough nut to crack aren't you kitten?"
I grab Yang's ear and begin to pull it, waiting for an apology from Yang.
"Ah! Sorry I won't call you that again!" Yang gives up just like I expected and I release her ear from my grasp.
"Yang, what's your reason for coming here every day? You've reached the age where you don't have to come to daycare anymore, hasn't anyone informed you?"
"I come here to see my lover, is that wrong?" yes, that's very wrong, we don't have such a relationship. Yang is tilting her head in confusion.
"We aren't lovers, Yang. So hurry up and give me a reason before I kick you out."
Yang looks down at her hands and begins to poke them together in an embarrassed manner.
"You asked me to say it so don't laugh." Yang takes a deep breath before continuing, "I want to be close to the person I like the most, is that a big deal?" Yang finishes and looks up at me, only then do I notice the red glow that had come over her face.
"F-f-fine, you can stay just don't get in the way." Yang's sixteen and her habit of saying cheesy lines hasn't gone away. My habit of blushing at each of those cheesy lines hasn't changed either.
"It's still morning time and it's a Saturday, I'm pretty sure no one will come by for a while." Yang takes a quick glance at the empty room. "So we can do whatever we want." Yang whispers in my ear.
"I'll take you up on that offer then."
"R-r-really?" Yang stammered.
I push away a loose strand of hair from Yang's face and put my hand behind her neck pulling her head close to me. Yang's head is now in the crook of my neck, I can feel her warm breath tickling my neck.
"I think it's about time I teach you how adults have fun."
"B-B-Blake, m-maybe we should take a few steps back!" Yang exclaims. Yang's breathing is quickening and I can feel her erratic heartbeat as she's leaning against me slightly.
"No, I think we should keep going." I reach my hand out and grab the book I put down when Yang came through the doors. I open to the beginning of the book before telling Yang, "I'm going to teach you the fun adults have reading long interesting books."
"Huh? W-wait, weren't we going to do something else?"
"What are you talking about, Yang?" I don't think I did anything unusual or suggested any odd activities.
"I thought we were going to- no, never mind." Yang buries her face deeper into my neck. She mumbles in a somewhat annoyed tone, "Why did you pull me into this position then…?"
I look down at Yang to see she's sitting in my lap, her body is facing towards me and her face is buried in my neck, with her arms wrapped gently around me. "I used to read to you like this when you were younger, I guess it was a force of habit. You can get off now Yang."
"No… I'm good here…" Yang's words drift off slowly, within seconds I hear a light snoring. Did Yang just fall asleep on me?
"Uhm, Yang? Hello?" I speak gently as I poke her sides softly. Yang only makes slight movements that lead to her hugging me tighter. So much for being a teenager, Yang is really just a big kid. If someone comes into the daycare, how was I even going to begin to explain this situation?
"Blake is that you?" Weiss's timing is absolutely spot on as usual. Why do I keep getting caught in these awkward situations? I now see Weiss standing next to me staring down at both me and Yang. "What a cute bunch of kids, so how did this happen?" Weiss teased me with a smile on her face.
After explaining the situation to Weiss as best I could, Yang starts to squirm around in her sleep before waking up. She lifts her head up and looks around familiarizing herself with her surroundings.
"Good morning." I greet happily.
Yang who has her eyes slightly opened looks in my direction and leans closer to me. I pull my head back a little but Yang keeps leaning forward until her lips are on my right cheek. I look at Weiss in hope for her assistance. Unfortunately she's blushing and covering her eyes trying to avert her attention from the situation, she's not doing such a good job because she keeps peaking through the small spaces between her fingers.
"Y-Yang wake up and think about what you're doing." I manage to say. Yang doesn't pay any attention to my advice, and continues to plant kisses across my cheek moving further left with each kiss until she reaches the tip of my nose.
"Blake… I don't want to wait anymore." Yang who's still half asleep moves her lips off my cheek and is aims for my lips this time.
"Weiss, Blake, Yang! I'm here!" Ruby yells.
This calls for drastic measures, I can't risk this going on any further. I plant my feet firmly on the ground and push up off the floor, while I lean back in the chair. As expected Yang and I fall backwards onto the floor with a loud thud. I ignore my aching head and turn my attention to Yang who fell on the floor face first. She doesn't seem to be moving, is she going to be okay?
"What's going on? Is this a new game? It doesn't look very fun." Ruby contemplates.
"Ouch, it didn't feel very fun. What was that all about, Blake?!" Yang sits up and starts complaining.
"What do you mean, don't you remember what you were about to do?"
"Huh? I was asleep the entire time, why's your face all red?" Yang grumbled unhappily while rubbing her nose.
So she was asleep while she did that? I feel sorry for Ruby having to deal with Yang's harassment while she sleeps.
"Weiss let's go to the carnival!" Ruby abruptly yells out.
"No." not even a second passes by before Weiss rejects Ruby.
"Why not!?" Ruby pouts.
"There's no way I'm going there. Screaming kids having fun, large rides, and food stalls. Humph, it's not like I want to go there or anything." Weiss always means yes when she says no, it's not like I need to tell Ruby that.
"In that case, let's hurry up and head there!" Ruby grabs a hold of Weiss's hand and pulls her out of the daycare without waiting for an answer from Weiss.
"W-wait! Hold on you dolt!" Weiss's protests can be heard fading as they both head further down the street.
"Why don't the two of us go to the carnival too?" Yang is now standing up extending a helping hand out to me who is still sitting on the ground.
"Sure." I take Yang's hand and pull myself up. Yang takes advantage of this situation to pull me into a warm embrace. She's grown up to be a few inches taller than me, so now I have to look slightly upwards to meet her lilac eyes.
"W-w-what is it, Yang?"
She only looks down at me with a large smile on her face before teasing me, "Why's your face red? Blake, could it be that you're falling for me?"
Yang loves my reaction when she teases me, I will definitely show her not to mess with an adult. I wrap my arms around her neck and pull her face close to mine.
"You never know Yang I might fall for you…"
"I-I-Is that's sso uuhm." Yang's face is colored pink and she can't manage to find anything to say.
"In twenty years. I might consider falling for you. Come try again during that time, okay?"
"Y-you were teasing me?" Yang puffs out her cheeks and furrows her eyebrows.
"If you keep making cute faces like that I might consider falling for you more quickly." I continue to tease Yang.
"Blake…you big bully…"

After closing the daycare for the day, I walk with Yang to the carnival deep in the city of Vale. We walk silently down the streets of Vale not saying a word to each other, it's not as though we had an argument but being in the company of one another is simply enough for us. A little after noon we arrive at the carnival and see a large amount of people enjoying themselves.
"What should we do first?" never having been to a carnival before, I ask Yang for suggestions. Yang looks as though she's in deep thought about something. "Hey, are you okay?"
Yang presses her lips in a firm line and takes a deep breath before reaching her hand out and grabbing mine. Before I realize it our fingers intertwine naturally, I look at Yang waiting for an explanation of her sudden actions.
"T-there's a lot of people here, h-hold my hand and make sure you don't get lost." Yang cautioned with a hint of embarrassment in her voice. The tip of Yang's ears are tinged a bright red, I'll pretend I don't notice though.
"Yeah, let's go." I give a gently squeeze to Yang's slightly larger hand reassuring her.
We walk through the carnival looking at the multiple food stands, game stalls, haunted houses, and large rides. Yang leads us to the biggest rollercoaster which there was no line to, must be because no one wants to ride such a scary death trap.
"Yang, why don't we start with something that won't cause harm to us? Look over there it's a small fun slide."
"Nah, I want to ride this one before the line gets big!" Yang enthusiastically replies. She picks up her pace and leads us up a few stairs where we wait for a few seconds to be seated. After being seated in the two seats at the front of the train we await for the ride to start. Yang had quieted down after we sat down, is she okay?
"Yang, are you- shaking?" I look over to see a pale Yang whose trembling hands are gripping the restraint bar causing her knuckles turn white. "Are you okay?! You look sick!" I worriedly ask Yang who looks close to throwing up.
"I-I forgot I was afraid of heights." that's not something you should forget!
"We can still get off the ride hasn't start-"just as I was about to finish what I was saying we start to move upwards towards the first hill.
Yang looks at me with teary eyes and calls my name trembling, "Bwakey, make it stop!" knowing I can't stop the car from moving I go to the next option of holding Yang's hand.
"I'm here with you." I try to make Yang forget about her fears.
"I don't care about that! I'm about to die!" there are people behind us who heard what I just said, does Yang not realize how embarrassing it was to say those words?! Give me back my heartfelt words!
We reach the top of the hill where the car suddenly stops for what seems like an eternity. During that time Yang lets go of the rail in front of her and hugs me tightly instead. Finally the car dives down the large hill and makes countless loops. Yang is screaming at the top of her lungs and crushing my ribs as this all happens. After around two minutes of torture the ride finally comes to an end. I pry Yang off of me and haul her out of the car, pulling her down the stairs to lead her to a nearby bench under a few trees.
"Yang, the ride is over, please stop crying already." I rub Yang's back slowly trying to calm her down.
"I'm not crying!" tears are running down your face you know?
I look around at the surround stalls when an idea pops into my head.
"Yang, wait here for a little bit."
"You're abandoning me?" Yang sticks out her lower lip as she looks up at me. She looks like an abandoned puppy that anyone would love to take home. I shake away all her doubts when I rub the top of her head gently.
"I'll be back, promise." I turn away from Yang and head towards the stall I spotted before. I walk up to the stall and see two women with their back faced towards me, now that I think about it they look a little familiar.
After a few seconds the two turn around, revealing that I really did know the two who were behind the stall.
"Weiss, Ruby? What are you guys doing here?" I'm surprise the two are working. I thought they came here to play.
"Ruby kind of ate all of the original owner's ice cream without paying…" Weiss looks at Ruby in a disapproving way. "In the end I brought his entire stall." Don't say that so nonchalantly!
"Not minding the small details." no Ruby those are some pretty big details. "Did you want to buy some ice cream?! I know how all the flavors taste, so I'll tell you all of them taste amazing!" Ruby opens an ice cream bin and starts eating as she talks to me.
"Y-yeah I bet you do. Then I'll take two vanilla ice cream cones."
"cwomin wite up" Ruby manages to make a somewhat comprehensible response with a mouth full of ice cream. Weiss seems like she's given up, she's lying her head down on the counter completely defeated. Don't give up Weiss!
"Here you go! It's on me." Ruby chirps. She hands me two well made ice cream cones before giving me innocent advice. "Yang always likes the movie scenes where the couple puts ice cream on each other's nose. Maybe you could do that with her, I know she'll be happy if you do!"
"O-okay I will keep that in mind." It's not like I'm going to do that with Yang, what exactly was Ruby expecting? After saying our goodbyes I return to Yang who hasn't moved an inch since I left her, she's looking at the crowd of people with warm eyes. Yang turns her attention to me as I get closer and the corners of her lips lift up to form a lovely smile. I can't help but smile back at Yang.
"Here, I got you some ice cream." I extend my hand out to give Yang her ice cream cone but before I can exchange it I somehow trip. Landing my right knee and hand on the bench to keep me from falling, I sigh in relief. Sadly, I had to drop my own ice cream cone in my right hand onto the ground.
"Blake, can you get this ice cream cone out of my face by any chance?" Yang nasally questions. I look to my left to see my left hand had pushed Yang's ice cream cone against her nose. I retract my left hand away from the ice cream cone and stand up to get a good look at Yang.
"Pfft, hahaha." I can't resist letting out a small laugh. The ice cream cone is firmly planted on Yang's face making it look like she has a long waffle cone nose.
"Very funny, Blake, why don't you try some yourself?" Yang pulls the ice cream cone off her face, stands up, and quickly smashes the frozen treat on my nose.
"Wha- Yang!" I pull the ice cream cone off my face and throw it into a nearby trash can before sitting down next to Yang.
"This is kind of like those romantic scenes in the movies." Yang points out as she scoops the ice cream off her face with her finger and licks her finger clean before repeating the process. Did Ruby know this would happen? Can Ruby tell the future?
"Romantic? It was embarrassing, now look at all the people giving us weird looks."
"They just never had this much fun, let them all stare. By the way the ice cream is really good!" Yang uses her index finger to scope some ice cream off my face and sticks her finger back into her mouth with a smile on her face. I return the gesture scooping ice cream off Yang's face and licking my finger clean. The tips of Yang's ears get red and I can feel my own cheeks feeling hot, even so we continue to clean each other off until all the ice cream is gone. The ice cream I had today tasted sweeter when compared to any other time.

After cleaning ourselves up and playing around at a few game stalls we decided to go on a few rides and visit the various attractions.
"Blake, I want to go on that one!" Yang points to a tunnel of love ride.
"No, not in a million years." what is Yang thinking?
"Why not?" Yang puts a finger to her chin pretending to act like she doesn't understand.
"Th-that's a ride couples go on." Yang without a doubt knows where I'm getting at.
"We aren't a couple?"
"We aren't a couple."
"Tch."
"Did you just click your tongue at me?" she's asking for it.
"So what if I did?" Yang stands up straight, puts her hands on her hips, and looks down at me with a grin on her face. I use my right hand to pinch Yang's side causing her to bend over slightly while my left hand pinches her nose.
"Apologize."
"Please forgive me. Just don't rip off my nose!" I release Yang's nose before grabbing her by the hand to lead her to a different attraction.
"You're not scared of haunted houses are you? Try to remember before you end up crying again." I teased Yang.
"I'm not scared, don't worry about it. Let's go!" Yang switches our position, grabbing my hand leading me to the haunted house. After a few minutes of waiting for the line to move up we finally enter. The path in front of us is dark only lit up by a few red lights that don't light up the room enough to see anything.
"Blake, your hand is crushing mine." Yang points out.
"Ah, sorr- Hyaa!" a ghost suddenly jumps out next to me. Out of reflex I let out a scream and cling to Yang.
"Is Blakey scwared of a wittle gwost?" Yang makes fun of me. I would usually break her legs but I'm paralyzed in fear. "Here get on." Yang squats down.
"Huh?" what does she mean get on?
"You can't move right? So I'll carry you out of here."
"O-okay…" I slowly lean my body on Yang's back and wrap my arms around her neck. Yang slowly gets up and positions her hands underneath my thighs. Her back is comfortable, warm, and reliable. Yang's been with me for so long, how did I never notice how much Yang grew up? Maybe it's about time I stop treating her like a kid. I close my eyes and lean my head on Yang's shoulder.
"Blake, were out." to my displeasure Yang crouches down and eases my legs down until my feet touch the ground.
"Th-thanks…" my face feels hot and I'm light headed. What's wrong with me?
"Come on let's go ride the teacups!" Yang acts like nothing happened and excitedly walks to her destination. Yang realizes I'm not moving and chooses to grab my hand to lead me towards the teacups. My heart starts to race when our hands come into contact. Oh dear, I seem to be catching something.
We choose to sit in a small teacup that's colored a beautiful yellow and black. I notice that our hands have been linked together this entire time and neither of us intend to let go.
"Blake, how about we head to the bumper cars next?!" Yang looks extremely excited about hitting people with a car. Should I be concerned about this?
After the teacup ride ends we head towards the bumper cars where we see Weiss and Ruby waiting in line.
"Ruby!" Yang runs up to Ruby and crushes her in a hug.
"Yang, you're breaking my spine!" Ruby yells as she gasps for air.
"Sister complex?" Weiss questions with an odd expression.
"It took you that long to notice?" I thought everyone in the world noticed Yang's excessive love for her sister.
"Everyone would love their sister like if they had a sister as cute as Ruby!" no Yang, I think your complex is on another level where other people can never reach. "Anyway let's go it's our turn!"
We get into our own cars and wait for the signal to start. Once the light turned green Ruby and Yang went straight for Weiss. Needless to say Weiss ended up with whiplash at the end of the game.

"It's been hours when are you going to forgive me, Weiss?" Ruby begs.
"When Pluto completes its orbit."
"I won't live till then! Ah, I got an idea!" Ruby runs towards a ring toss stall and skillfully throws all her rings around the pegs. She's pointing at a large bear prize which the owner hands over happily. Ruby runs back to Weiss and presents her with an apology present. "I won this for you!"
Weiss takes the large bear in her hands and hides her face behind the bear. Weiss can't hide her red ears though.
"I'll forgive you, you dolt." Weiss slowly lower the bear only showing her eyes peaking to look at Ruby.
"Hehe, come on Weiss! I want to go over there!" Ruby takes Weiss by the hand and runs off into the crowd leaving Yang and me behind.
"Ruby really likes Weiss." I decide to break the silence between us.
"Yup, if it's Weiss, then I have nothing to worry about." Yang chuckles lightly watching the two disappear in the crowd. "How about one more ride?" Yang turns her attention back to me.
"That's fine but no more scary rides." I cautioned Yang in a playful tone.
"Right, I got a perfect ride to finish the day with!" Yang takes my left hand in her right and starts to walk in a face excited pace towards the Ferris wheel. Of course, it's only obvious to end a day at the carnival by riding the Ferris wheel. How cliché, who writes this stuff?
"I'm excited! This is my first time going on one!" Yang is shaking in excitement.
The two of us walk into a two person capsule and take our seats opposite of each other before the ride resumes. I feel like I'm forgetting something really important. Within a few seconds I remember what I was forget, Yang is afraid of heights.
"B-blakey!" Yang moves over to my side and hugs me tightly.
"There's nothing to be afraid of, Yang." I lift Yang's head up by placing my hand under her chin making her look at me. I give Yang a warm smile to reassure her safety.
"O-o-okay…" a pink blush comes over Yang's face. Yang hides her face by pressing her face close against my chest. "I really do like you." Where did that come from?
"Ah, yeah… I know."
"As long as you know then it's fine." Yang looks up and gives me a wide smile. I feel her hand grab mine and her fingers intertwining with mine.
"You're not afraid anymore?" Yang must have overcome her fear.
"You're with me, so there's no problem. Look at the view we have from here!" Yang says to me while looking out of the windows around us absorbing the beautiful view.
"This is the first time I've seen the sunset this beautiful." I turn my view to the horizon where the sun is slowing disappearing and the orange sky is turning into a dark blue color.
"I see something a million times more beautiful though." Yang whispers to me. Her eyes are focused on me and her face is only inches away from mine. Yang puckers her lips slightly and closes her eyes as she gets closer and closer. I close my own eyes and move forward just a bit waiting for a soft sensation to touch my lips.
"Yang and Blake sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G" I hear Ruby abruptly singing to my right. I push Yang away and walk out of the capsule quickly. The ride must have ended right when we were about to- ah! So embarrassing!
"Aww! Ruby! I'm going to break your legs!" Yang runs after her sister through the crowd. I notice Weiss waiting for me near a stall with a smirk on her face.
"Wh-what's with that face?" I ask her slightly irritated.
"Oh, I don't know what you're talking about." Weiss nonchalantly says before adding, "are you a little disappointed?"
"I-I don't know what you're talking about."
I didn't sleep that night because I was too busy rolling around on my bed in embarrassment.
