Chapter 11: Of cats and (wo)men
Silence is a blessing in my dorm. I can never get enough of it, if someone got me a box of silence for my birthday then they shall be rewarded beyond their wildest dreams. It is hard to come by when you live in the same room with a woman whose sole purpose is to generate noise and distractions and her hyperactive sister.
I had fate to thank for the current lack of noise, as Weiss had taken Ruby to an expensive hotel to do what I can only assume is cuddling considering that Ruby probably is unaware of other actions a couple can do.
I had thought that the sudden alone time with Yang would result in continuous sex until the two returned, but instead I was left alone since Yang had a sudden urge to go shopping, and seeing as it is twelve thirty and there is still no sign of her I can only assume that she is out at a club and will not return until the early hours of the morning. Although I have been wrong before, at least there is no one for her to disturb.
I turn the page of the novel I'm reading, my natural night vision removing the need for a light source. I begin to let my mind wonder about my team's reaction to the reveal of my heritage. They had all been very accepting, but that was to be expected of Yang and Ruby. Personally I thought it would cause hostility between Weiss and myself, but instead she says that she disagrees about how her father's company treats faunus and is even willing to fight for their rights.
Being a faunus does have its advantages I guess, the improved senses do come in handy in certain situations. For example tracking down a girlfriend that refuses to shower, although it does not require a heightened sense of smell to find her. The hearing does allow me to hear further away better but unfortunately loud sounds can deafen me easier than most humans.
Speaking of ears they are definitely more sensitive than human ears as Yang found out. The feeling of her hands on my ears is the best feeling in the world, short of other regions she can touch. This has however lead to several embarrassing moments with my reactions to her ear scratches.
Every day my team finds more ways that they can compare me to a cat, most faunus would see that as racist or at the least insensitive, but I know they mean well.
Once Ruby brought a laser pointer to the dorm room to give us a presentation of team bonding. Unfortunately my reaction to this was to attack the intruding red dot. Which gave Yang the idea that if she controlled the dot she controlled me, and the next day I had a long list of students to apologize to.
The list of items that the team use to torment me is endless, there was a correctional squirt bottle that I have not seen since Yang used it for a more private correctional lesson.
There have been moments where my primal instincts have taken over. They do not happen regularly but when they do the result is almost always disastrous. Even if I do not recall doing these actions Yang seems to never want to forget.
One time Yang and I had gotten into an argument over where we should go for a date. Although my idea of going to the library museum was perfect I still felt bad for getting her mad, so I did the best logical thing to cheer a girlfriend up. I got her a gift, something that would mean a lot and show her I care.
So when I procured this gift I presented it to her while she was working out. Then she had the audacity to slap it out of my hands, surely she must have known how hard it was to catch the very bird that sits and chirps on our window sill every morning. I captured and gave her our mortal enemy and she looked at me with disgust, she made out with me after so I guess it paid off.
My thoughts are interrupted by something, I raise my head and sniff the air, that smell. That smelly smell, I close my book and place it under the pillow there is no chance of me reading if she is on the other side of that door.
As if on cue the door slowly creaks open and her head pokes out as she holds onto the door for support. Thankfully I do not smell alcohol on her so I guess it was a long shopping trip. "You can come in Yang," I call out to her. Is this her attempt at stealth?
She jumps onto her side of our shared bed, sending me up before land back where I sat. How can someone have so much energy at this ungodly hour? Not even taking off her clothes I can feel her getting under the sheets as I face away from her.
"Yang you should really get some sleep," I turn to look at her to attempt to give her a stern stare, which is very difficult while looking into those beautiful lilac eyes.
"But Blaaaake we have to cuddle," curse this sacred tradition of cuddling, if it did not feel so good I would have kept the beds as bunk beds.
"Can't you cuddle as you sleep?" I suggest hoping to reason with her, who am I kidding? Reason flies out the window at this time of night.
"Sorry Blake, it doesn't work like that," I sniff the air, there is another sent mixed in with hers, but I am too tired to work it out. Is she turned on by seeing me suffer like this? I never thought she would be into that.
"Yang what is that smell?" I ask. I am not opposed to going at it but at the moment the only thing on my mind is sleep.
Yang blushes, "he he, you can smell that? Wow you're good." Her hands move behind her and she retrieves a small can with a fish painted on it.
Out of instinct I reach for it only for her to pull it away. "Ah ah ah, first cuddles, then tuna," Woman you will be the death of me. She motions me to turn around and I whine but comply knowing the reward will be worth it.
As I face away from her again I am given a short scratch on my ear eliciting an involuntary noise from within my throat. If anyone else was here my cheeks would put Ruby's cloak to shame, but fortunately Yang has heard much worse.
The woman behind me drapes her left arm over my stomach and pulls me in closer. Her right arm slowly lowers a chunk of tuna into my waiting mouth, which I graciously accept.
"So Yang," I start in between mouthfuls of tuna, "why did you spend such a long time shopping for one can of tuna?"
She pats my stomach reassuringly with her left hand. "Don't worry kitty cat, all will be revealed in the morning." She finishes by dropping more tuna in my mouth.
Ahh tuna, can't go wrong with tuna. If someone got me a whole box of tuna for my birthday, I would be one happy faunus.
A/N That was fun thank you for all the support, every view helps. I love you all.
