CH.10
Today could have started better I didn't sleep well and from what i can tell Blake didn't sleep at all. The good thing is maybe I could get Blake to sleep after class and ask her to the dance that's if she even stayed awake long enough. She didn't make it through Port's class but no one really did without sleeping but Blake was always awake in that class no matter what. The bell rang to head to combat and Blake nearly jumped up to the ceiling.
"Blake's asleep again this is just wonderful," I say sarcastically. "I told her to sleep and she didn't even listen to me I'm getting worried she's destroying herself over this whole White Fang thing," she's grow distant from all of us but not gonna point that out. Yang looks at me with a sad look knowing this hurts me.
"Maybe we can get a way to get her to take a break," Ruby pointed out. "I'm not sure about that Ruby this is Blake we are talking about," She pouts because I said this but we know it's true. "Yang maybe you can talk to her about what happened with you," I plead with her. "I'll try to talk to her about this," "Thank you so much Yang,"
Class was pretty boring except for when Pyrrha beat the ahit out of team CRDL. "Miss Belladonna you have been quite docile for sometime perhaps you would like to spar today" I heard Mrs. Goodwitch ask Blake and I panicked because she was too tired to fight. "I'll do it," said some Guy with Silver hair.
"Mercury is it? Well let's find you an opponent," said Goodwitch. "I wanna fight her" he points to Pyrrha. Either he's a dumbass or just wants to scout out Pyrrha. "I'm sorry but Miss Nikos has just fought maybe another opponent," "It's fine I'll fight again," Pyrrha chimed in. That fight lasted for about two minutes when Mercury forfeited that's when I could tell it was just for were on the way back to the dorm when I decided to see if Blake wanted to go to the dance.
"Hey umm Blake I was kinda wondering if you wanted to go to the dance" I've never asked anyone to a dance before I'm horrible at this. "I don't have time for some stupid dance you should understand this Luke," well damn that hurts a lot. "Alright well I'll be back later I need to go somewhere," and my go somewhere I meant into Emerald forest to collect my thoughts. I dived off the cliffs and started flying to go sit in a tree. I got a text from Yang asking where I was because she could've sworn I was just with them.
About three hours later I head to get dinner. That's when I get bombarded with questions from my team expect for Blake cause as expected she's in the library again. She really is destroying herself over this.
"Ok seriously I just got back can we not bombard me with questions?" I'm really not wanting to deal with this right now. "I'll be back I'm getting my food," I went and got some fries and a soda and come back to sit with them. "Okay what do you guys want cause staring gets you nowhere," I say this and it's just rapid fire questions
"Where did you go?" "What were you doing?" "Would you like to DJ the school dance?" Did I hear that last one right I doubt I did. "First off I was in the forest flying and what was that last question again?" I would of done it had Blake actually gone to the dance but her not going is kinda pointless for me.
"Do you wanna be the DJ at the dance cause We are planning the dance now?" Weiss and Yang ask at the same time. Okay so I did hear that right "Wait what happened to team CFVY and I would agreed but Blake isn't going somehow convince her to go I'll DjJ it hell I'll even sing a song at it," I told them and before I even finished Yang took off running. "I'm gonna regret saying that aren't I?" I get nods from Ruby and Weiss. "Well I'm gonna go get a playlist ready tell me Yang actually manages to get her to do it," I seriously regret this already.
Yang P.O.V.
Luke made such a mistake with saying that because I already planned on convincing her to go that just gave me more reason. If I am correct Blake should be in the library doing research I see her sitting at a computer so I pull out a laser pointer and shine it on the screen she sees it the first time but doesn't really affect her. The second time went much better she chased it back to me.
"We need to talk," is all I say before I drag her off into an empty classroom. "Blake you need to take a break from all of this you're killing yourself over this,"
"I can't stop when I have no idea what the White Fang are planning," she nearly shouted at me and tried to push me but she actually sent herself back.
"What would you do if Torchwick was here right now," "I'd fight him," "and you'd get beat because you can't even stop me right now, Blake please just listen I nearly had me and Ruby killed because of the same thing I didn't stop looking for my Real mom and we nearly died,"
"I'm not asking you to stop cause I haven't just slow down, and if you come to the dance I'll Save you a dance," and with that I left the room. Luke is really gonna regret saying that earlier cause I'm not gonna let him forget.
Luke's P.O.V
"Are you fucking kidding me you actually got her to agree?" I ask utterly shocked. How did Yang get Blake to say yes I was gonna DJ either way but now I have to sing in front of the school.
"Yep and you better hold up your end of the deal," Yang said with a smirk. "Fine I'll hold up my end since you did it i don't know how but you did," she just gets a big smile on her face as I say this. Well I better figure out what song I'm gonna sing.
"Well I have the playlist made so I'm gonna take a nap until the dance," I say as I jump into my bunk. "See you guys in like 2 hours at the dance," I ended up only sleeping for an hour cause Jaune came knocking on the door with a guitar.
"Umm Jaune, Weiss left already with her date," the look of utter shock on his face was amazing. I had to hold back a laugh.
"Weiss has a date since when?" He asked while scratching his head "Since Ruby asked her out, did you not notice at the party," he shakes his head back and forth. "Well that explains it but I suggest you ask Pyrrha cause she's been crushing on you since you met, also let me borrow that guitar,'
"Why do you need that guitar and I will ask her," I'm glad he's finally asking her. "I kinda need it for the dance I'm singing a song there and it's acoustic," I mumble out while rubbing my neck. He just hand me the guitar and leaves. "Um thanks Jaune," well I should probably get into my suit.
I change into my black suit with a red vest and tie. I walk out our dorm and head to the auditorium to get ready to DJ when I see Blake in a beautiful purple dress.
"You look amazing Blake," I tell her as she's just standing there. I saw her blush as bright as Ruby's cloak. "I'm kinda shocked you aren't in the room or library looking for information,"
"Yang kinda convinced me to actually show up so can we go together?" She really seemed interested in this for once. "Yeah sure let's go I will be able to dance after I sing like I promised Yang," I let out a nervous laugh "I was wondering would you help me with song cause there is a female singing part as we'll,"
"Umm sure why not it'll be fun," I'm so glad she 's quite a relief for me. "Well let's head in," I offer her my arm and lead her in.
"Hey you guys are here welcome to the dance glad you showed up Blake," well while Yang was talking to Blake I went to start the playlist and set up mics for the song. I even did a mic check and hooked up the guitar to an amp. More people start arriving so Blake comes up on stage.
"You ready Blake," she nods and I get set up with the guitar. "Welcome to the dance everyone to start it off Blake and I are going to be singing Around the World and Back by State Champs"
Been around the world and back this year
Told myself I wanna face this fear
But I don't think I can stand on my own
She's got eyes like spring, legs like the summer
Everybody says she looks just like her mother
But I think she wants that left alone
There's too many ways to say goodbye
But it's quite the opposite this time
Sometimes I can't help but say
I'm falling in love and it's scaring me
It came to me in a dream
Now all that's left is our empathy
But this is just the life I ordered
One step back and two steps forward
Sometimes I can't help but say
We're making history
*Blake joins in*
Been around the world and back this year
I never wanted to be so sincere
I'm not a hero or a saint
But don't push me away
When you believed in me it brought us together
Everybody says that it won't last forever
Close your eyes, don't cut the ties, it makes sense
There's too many ways to say goodbye
But it's quite the opposite this time
Sometimes I can't help but say
I'm falling in love and it's scaring me
It came to me in a dream
Now all that's left is our empathy
But this is just the life I ordered
One step back and two steps forward
Sometimes I can't help but say
We're making history
Our history
You pulled me in like a tidal wave
And let ourselves just float away
With no direction, or a way to rewind
Yeah, you pulled me in like a tidal wave
Thought that it was my mistake
And we'd fall apart before I say goodbye
But it's quite the opposite this time
Sometimes I can't help but say
I'm falling in love and it's scaring me
It came to me in a dream
Now all that's left is our empathy
But this is just the life I ordered
One step back and two steps forward
Sometimes I can't help but say
We're making history
Our history
As we finished the song we got overwhelmed with cheers. I took a bow then pulled Blake into a hug.
"I love you Blake I'm glad you did this with me," I go to start the playlist but she pulls me back into a kiss. "I'm glad you came back into my life I love you to Luke," hearing her say that brought a smile to my face. "Well let's go enjoy the rest of our night Blake,"
The rest of the dance was great. Yang took the first dance with Blake after the song. Blake had a smile on her face the entire time we were dancing. Now i needed to give her the present I got.
"Blake turn around please?" I ask and she does I then pull out a necklace of her symbol and put it on her. "Okay you can look at it now," she's shocked that I remembered that she used to have that exact necklace when she was younger but lost it.
"Luke it's amazing I can't thank you enough for getting me this again," she hugs me and doesn't let go. "You knew how much this meant to me cause it's the last thing my parents gave me before they died" she said as she started crying into my shoulder. It would be at this moment that my scroll goes of with a text from Neo saying she's in trouble and that the boss she gas is making a move on Beacons security.
The last thing she tells me is that a mission option will help us find her. I'm paranoid for the rest of the night as I worry about Neo but the good news is we leave for our missions tomorrow. I may have a chance to find her after all.
Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving and I'm just kinda glad I can start writing again and not have to deal with a research paper
