Tonight (Best You Ever Had) – John Legend
Present Day
A slight smile grew on Yang's lips while she watched the movie on the screen in front of her. The main character had a knack for cheesy one-liners before setting off those multi-million dollar explosions that made her headphones vibrate against her ears. Maybe it would be a good idea to turn the volume down a few notches…
Amethyst eyes scanned the plane, most of the passengers were passed out cold on the long flight, but for Yang it was a different story.
She was antsy.
And maybe a little bit anxious.
Despite the hero on the mini-screen in front of her was getting ready to go on yet another daring rescue for his damsel-in-distress, Yang leaned back and looked out at the dark night sky. The glass felt cool on her forehead when she leaned forward on it. She watched how her breath fogged up the view just a little when she breathed out.
Eighteen months.
It's been eighteen months since Yang had seen Ruby.
It's been 1 year and 6 months since she had seen Blake.
Yang tightly shut her eyes at the thought; she didn't want to think about that… not right now.
Instead, the dialogue from the over-the-top action movie she was watching cut through her train of thought. She re-focused on the scene in front of her – it the hero was getting ready to plant a big one on the damsel-in-distress.
Yang smirked at the scene.
Ain't this what you came for. Don't you wish you came more.

Yang could feel her face turning red at the spectacle before her, but she kept willing herself to not bust out laughing at the scene.
The scene of Weiss Schnee scrambling around frantically around her own room.
Naked.
"Weiss… it's okay." Yang took several deep breathes before opening her mouth to speak, "We both had a… really good time last night."
Weiss paused in her pacing around the room, suddenly the state of her undress dawned upon her. "I- You- This- Uggggh!" She groans in frustration while reaching for the drawer with her clothes in it. "I can't believe I fell for this."
Yang stood at her full height, she takes note that she's a whole head taller than Weiss, the boxer spots her shirt from the night prior and slips it on. "It's fine, Ice Queen." The panties come back on, "It's college."
"But that was my first time!" Weiss' face turned a bright pink, the heiress recalling how… willingly she fell into the brawler's arms. "…with a girl!"
"Definitely didn't seem like your first time." Yang shoots a wink at the girl.
"Why!" Weiss shrieks out, she buries her face in her hands.
The heiress had spent the past few weeks re-buffing every advance Yang had thrown at her; she even went as far to say that 'Hell would freeze over before she would let Yang in her bed'.
But here they are with Yang Xiao Long sitting half dressed at the edge of Weiss Schnee's bed.
"I am never. Ever. Drinking. Again."
Yang could only smile at the statement – it's the same old lie that every college student would say after a bender.
Oh I know you miss that
Present Day
Yang chuckled at the memory, she was a lot more rambunctious during her college days, but the blond had calmed down considerably as the years went by.
Eventually, Weiss would stop running away whenever she caught sight of Yang and a rather peculiar and lasting friendship would blossom after that drunken one night stand.
Which would then lead to a rather quirky and at times slightly awkward romance that would begin between Weiss and Ruby about two years after that night.
Yang took certain liberties to mercilessly tease Weiss with the old memory whenever the Ice Queen would get started on her rants or if her 'High Nobility' was showing (Yang would only ever say this term as the highest form of endearment for her old friend, plus she knew it annoyed the hell of out of Weiss to call her that).
The movie had ended and Yang decided to take a small break and continue listening to some music.
Baby, tonight's the night I let you know
3 years and 2 months ago
She was lonely, it had been months since she's touched Blake.
The case she's working on is stressful and she needed to blow off steam.
It's fucking cold in Atlas.
Agent Yang Xiao Long of the Valesian Bureau of Investigation let out a soft curse and held her gaze steady on the ceiling above her. The excuses going through her mind were endless, but she knows that none of them can justify what just happened.
The nude body next to her began stirring ever so slightly, but Agent Cinder Fall of the Vacuo Bureau of Investigation did not wake. The two were supposed to work together to track down a drug kingpin that they caught wind of in Vale, they figured out that the kingpin was based out of Vacuo but their investigation brought them to Atlas. This is a big case for Yang and Cinder, so the two had worked the past 3 months together day-in and day-out.
Yang watches her partner for the case, she's absolutely beautiful.
But she's not Blake Belladonna, the most stunning woman in the world.
The blond looks back up at the ceiling as if it had some solution to the mess she created.
"I'm a fucking idiot."
Baby tonight's the night we lose control

"So, what are we?"
Yang looks at the figure before her in the morning light, the bed sheets wrapped delicately around the chest of the fellow Agent.
"Nothing serious." Yang responds bluntly, the Mistrali dry air blew through the open window of the brawler's apartment, "I hope that's not an issue."
"I figured as much." The woman crosses the threshold of the room, she pulls at Yang's shirt, "I got out of a rather serious relationship too."
"It's got nothing to do with-" A pair of lips plants themselves chastely on Yang's.
"It takes one to know one." Pyrrha Nikos says after pulling back from the abrupt kiss. "I won't pry, but if you want to talk…"
"I got it." Yang smiles salaciously and pulls down the Amazonian into her arms, "Let's say about some breakfast?" A trail of kisses found their way on Pyrrha's collarbone.
"What are you going to cook?"
"I was actually thinking about eating."
Tonight I'll be the best you ever had
Present Day
The night sky was much more appealing than the next movie the flight had available.
Maybe it had something to do with the fact that Yang could see all those fast romances she had play out against the velvet backdrop. Some memorable… a few were regrettable.
One thing was obvious to the brawler – there was only ever one person that could truly hold the title of 'The Best".
