"I'm so glad you're okay, now!" Yang exclaimed as she gave Ruby a bear-hug. After Ruby and Blake had their heart to heart, they invited Yang and Weiss over to talk.

"Yang, come on. It's not like I was sick."

"Yes, it was!" Yang pulled back and looked into Ruby's eyes. "I could see you slowly dying on the inside. I was losing my little sister."

"There's no need to be so dramatic. Besides, it's over now. I've aired out my feelings and now we can continue to be friends. Right, Blake?" As Ruby turned to her friend, the faunus smiled and nodded.

"Friends, huh? Honestly, a small part of me was hoping she would return your feelings and you two could finally hook up."

Ruby just shook her head. "Blake's straight, Yang. There's nothing to be done about it. But, now that I've finally got some closure, maybe now I can finally find a woman who will return my feelings."

"Hey, if you're looking for a girl, I got a few old "contacts"," Yang suggested. "I could hook you up."

Ruby shared a look with Blake and Weiss before turning back to Yang. "Uhh, that's very...kind of you, Yang. But I think I'll pass."

"Really? Why?"

"Because any smart person would wanna stay well away from any woman who would let you touch her," Weiss spoke up.

"Bah, that's exactly the kind of woman Ruby needs right now. Now that's she's dealt with her emotional baggage, she needs to take care of her sexual frustration."
"Yang!"

"What? You haven't had sex in over 6 years. The mere thought makes nauseous."

"Okay," Blake interjected. "Enough of that. Could we please talk about something completely different?"

After a moment of silence, Weiss spoke up. "Neptune and I are splitting up."

Another moment of silence as everyone just stared at her. "What?!"

"You heard me."

"What do you mean, you're splitting up?" Ruby asked. "Where did this come from?"

Weiss sighed. "After Blake and Sun split up, I decided to take a serious look at my own relationship. Honestly, I feel out of love with the man years ago, but decided to keep the marriage going for comfort's sake. But, once I heard what was going on between Sun and Blake, I realized I had to end it. So I sat Neptune down, we talked and both decided it was for the best."

"Weiss," Ruby spoke up. "Why didn't you tell us?"

"Why should I?" Weiss replied, a slight bitter tone in her voice. "You were all so focused on the Ruby and Blake situation, I figured you could care less about my problems."

"Weiss." Ruby took her hand. "I know I've selfish lately. And I'm sorry. I should've payed more attention to you."

Weiss looked up and offered her a small smile. "It's fine, Ruby. I'm not angry. It's just a little frustrating when something big is happening in your life and everybody else is ignoring it."

"We're not ignoring it. I'll prove it to you. Today, we're gonna focus on making you feel better. Whatever you need, we'll take care of it."

"Ruby, I appreciate the offer, but really..."
"Oh, I have an idea!" Yang exclaimed. "Let's go to the gym!"

"Excuse me?"

"There's nothing better to vent than exercise. Trust me, Weiss. By the time we're finished, you'll have completely forgotten about Neptune. Let' go!"

"Come on, Weiss. Just a few more laps!" Yang happily shouted as she ran on the treadmill next to Weiss'.

Weiss herself was cursing Yang on the inside. After Yang had dragged them all to the gym, Ruby and Blake ran off to the child's section with Amber, while Yang dragged Weiss off to train with her. It started out light. A few push-ups, a few sit-ups. Weiss didn't think it was that bad. Then Yang sat her on the bike and forced her to peddle 100 km! And if that wasn't bad enough, now she was running the last of 100 laps. To say she was exhausted would be a vast understatement.

Once she had finished her final lap, she practically collapsed, only to fall into muscular arms. The smell of sweat filled her nose as she looked up at shining lilac eyes.

"There! Isn't that better?"

"I hate you, Xiao Long. I hate you so much."

"Okay, let's take a break!" Yang said as she sat Weiss down.

As Weiss sat there, dealing with her burning muscles, Ruby, Blake and Amber walked up.

"Amber is tired, so we're gonna leave now, okay?" Blake said.

Before Weiss could speak up, Yang replied. "Yeah, go ahead. I'll take the princess out for drinks later."

"Okay, bye."

As Weiss watched them leave, she wondered what she had done to be punished so severely.

And so here she was, sitting in a bar, sipping her wine while watching Yang down her third whiskey.

"Ahh, that's the stuff!" Yang exclaimed as she wiped her mouth. Her eyes then focused on Weiss' wine glass. "You're still nippin' at that?"

"I am not like you, Yang. I do not down my drink as if was the first liquid I'd had in weeks. I drink with dignity."

"Oh, look at me. My name is Weiss. I drink with dignity." Yang imitated Weiss as she scowled at her. "Don't give me that look. That's what you sound like. That's your problem. You're always so uptight. You gotta let yourself go. There's no class in drinking. It's all about putting as much alcohol in your body as you can until you throw it up again."

"Charming."

"Exactly. You need to relax. You need...I know what you need!" She exclaimed as she turned to a waitress and ordered something.

A few minutes later, the waitress returned with two mugs of beer and two shot glasses filled with a dark liquid. Yang thanked the waitress as she dunked the contents of the glasses into the mugs and pushed one towards Weiss. "Drink!"

Weiss looked at the drink for a long moment. "No."

"Oh? What's wrong? Scared?"

"Excuse me?"

"You afraid of admitting that you can't drink it?"

A vein started popping on Weiss' head. "Watch it!"

"Come on, the Weiss I know would never let some blonde bimbo humiliate her like this. She would take the glass and show the bimbo that she's a world-class drinker."

A slight smirk appeared on Weiss' face. She had to admit, Yang really knew what buttons to press. She grabbed the mug and started drinking, noticing from the corner of her eye that Yang was doing the same.

Once she finished the drink, she slammed the mug onto the table and wiped her mouth. A second later, Yang did the same.

"Ye-he-hes!" She exclaimed. "Now we're getting' somewhere!" She looked Weiss straight in the eye. "Another?"

Weiss looked down at the mug for a moment. "I probably shouldn't." She then looked back at Yang and flashed her a devious grin. "So I will."

"Atta girl!" Yang grinned. "Waitress! Another!"

(**)

Weiss woke up to a pounding head-ache, like someone was jack-hammering next to a herd of elephants inside her head. I'm never drinking with Yang again. It was then that she noticed a different kind of pounding. This was a soft, rhythmic pounding that actually felt soothing. She also noticed that she was lying on something that was decidedly not her pillow. And that that something had its arms wrapped around her and was pulling her closer.

Confused and curious, Weiss decided to slowly force her eyes open, only to be met with bare skin. After a moment, she looked up and saw Yang's face, sleeping peacefully.

What?
