Last time on Skeletons in the Closet…

Yang tries to apologize to Blake.

Some suspects are found.

Weiss patches up Blake.

I referenced Star Wars. Many, many times.

"Blake, that's not what I'm gonna do. I'm sorry." Yang looked up at her partner. "I wasn't thinking straight, I misdirected my anger. I shouldn't have hurt you. If you want to leave me, I- I understand." Yang swallowed, trying in vain to hold back tears. "If you want to report me, go ahead. I'm sorry. Please, forgive me."

Blake bit her lip, and looked down at the floor. "Yang, I love you. I'd never leave you, no matter what. I'm not gonna report you. You were angry, and Ruby told me about your, ah, emotional issues." Slowly, Blake walked towards her girlfriend, and laid a hand on her shoulder.

Yang recoiled. "Blake, I own this. I did this to you. I could've really hurt you. Don't blame what happened on mine and Ruby's past, I did this. To my own girlfriend, to the light of my life. What would happen if it were a random stranger? What would I do then?"

Blake threw her arms around Yang, encasing her in a bear hug. She pressed her lips against Yang's, and looked her in the eye. "Yang Xiao Long, I have never felt love for someone like I have for you. I have never hated you, and I never will. I forgive you, you only wanted to keep your sister from being hurt."

Yang embraced Blake. "I love you."

"I know."

"Ruby." Weiss looked at her lover. "Are you alright?" Ruby smiled sadly. "Yeah. It's just…"

"Just what?" Weiss frowned.

"It's just, Blake, she didn't want to take the case, did she?"

"Who told you that?"

"Velvet. She was all concerned, too."

"Who?"

"Artist. But that's not the point. Listen, she's working on the case." Ruby whispered.

"What?"

"Yeah, and she found something. She said Coco got a tip-off that somebody who knew my mom was going to be killed is in town. West District, midnight at Dex's Diner."

"Are you joking? That place is dangerous. I refuse to let you go without me." Weiss said.

"Ugh, fine."

Later that night…

"Yang is going to be so mad we took Bumblebee. Weiss, we can always use a squad car." Ruby grumbled.

"Nonsense. We're giving it back, and she's not using it. Besides, if it helps us catch your mother's…" Weiss trailed off. She glanced at Ruby, who had slumped over in the backseat. "I meant if it helps us find the culprit, she'll be glad, right?"

"I guess."

The motorbike tore off into the night.
