Chapter 1
The activity outside around Beacon was loud. But then again, that was to be expected. There was soon to be an event that many of the students were looking forward to.
Soon, there was to be a rather large dance that would occur within the ballroom from within the school, and many of the students were looking extremely forward to it. Everyone was abuzz with getting prepared for it, and most of all, asking for dates.
From within his private dorm room as he lay on his bed, Aero knew it was just as big a deal as well for him especially. This was a chance for him to make a full connection to someone he had only known for so long, but now kept closer to his heart more then anything. It was definitely a day he would remember considering he had become close to a very special individual.
Whom he had become closer to, was as obvious as many would have expected. The person in question was someone he had already grown closer to from day one since he had arrived at Beacon. It had happened in a short span of time. He had been around her more often then not, and the emotions were not there before as was expected. But then, through moments he found himself spending with her more and more, they suddenly came to light, and before either he or she could realize it, both were close and almost inseparable.
But now, he simply was laying in bed, waiting for the celebration that he was soon to attend with that special someone. Considering there was actually a good amount of tests that had occurred before hand, he was pretty exhausted from all the studying, so getting some rest in beforehand definitely seemed like the best idea possible.
"Haaaah... so tired..." Aero yawned loudly as he groggily spoke, his eyes feeling heavy from exhaustion, his vision fading between sleep and awake.
For a brief moment, he felt his conscious fade into sleep, his mind and body becoming unaware of everything around him. So much so he didn't hear the door to the dorm room open, footsteps approaching the bed he lay on, and a small chuckle of sorts escaping from the mouth of the visitor.
Aero's eyes opened again however when he realized he could feel someone moving on the bed, and more so, hovering above him almost.
"Huh?" His eyes groggily opened, only for them to gaze into amber, which stared back at him with a playful intent.
"Did I wake you?" The young females voice said, a small giggle escaping from her as she looked down at him with the same gaze as before, a playful little smirk on her face.
"No, not necessarily. I was just about to sleep, but then, I realized I couldn't because you decided to come in and hover above me like a cat stalking its prey, Blake." Aero responded back, still staring into the same amber colored eyes as his face remained with a neutral expression, not at all surprised to see his teammate and still fairly new girlfriend, staring at him the way she did.
It was inevitable that it happened. Considering the fact Aero had been on a team of four girls, very beautiful girls even, and himself being the sole guy of said team, it was expected by many that he would eventually have become even remotely close to one of them. Ironically enough though, the one he became closest to happened to be the one who came off as almost, anti-social. Blake Belladonna. A mixture of both a mystery, book-worm, shadow, possibly ninja, and possibly something more. Someone who always seemed to be engaged in reading more than anything, but never shied away from showing she could also have a fun side about her, banzai and everything.
At some point along the way, she and Aero found themselves growing closer and closer. Possibly one of the biggest factors in this was a kitten they had both worked to take care of that Blake had come upon, whom they gave the name, Topaz, and was still with them, even now. One of the biggest ones though definitely had to be when Aero assisted her in finding a book of hers she wanted to keep secret from all. Through all of this and more, both eventually found themselves wanting to be more to each other, and it just so happened that Aero became the one to work up the nerve to confess, and thus, an unbreakable bond between them was formed.
Blake smirked at her boyfriend mischievously, a gleam in her eyes that almost seemed cat-like. "Is it so wrong that I did so? I just wanted to see if you were awake or not."
"By getting over me the way you are now? That's an interesting way of going about it Blake."
Aero couldn't help but chuckle. The way Blake went about doing things always made him wonder about her, and whether or not she did these things to just actually be playful, or tease him in ways to get a reaction out of him. Whatever the case was though, it always made him react in some way.
"Maybe, maybe not. What are you going to do about it?" Blake simply smirked at him, knowing what she did obviously was something that pushed his buttons and would make him react.
Aero sighed, almost defeated. He knew Blake was playing the card that would get him to react to her one way or another. Of course, he wasn't going to just sit there and let her do as she pleased. "I think, I'll do this!"
Before Blake could even react, Aero quickly turned the tables. Grabbing hold of his feline-esque girlfriend, he quickly flipped his and her position, making her lay on the bed, while he hover over her, like she had been doing to him only seconds ago.
"Wha!?" His actions actually surprised her. She was expecting him to do something, but she wasn't expecting him to take advantage of the situation, catch her off guard, and do this!
"Be prepared to face anything if you decide to play games like that with me Blake." Aero looked down at her with a seductive little smirk, the distance between their faces so excessively small.
"I, honestly wasn't expecting you to do something as that. But now I have to ask, what do you plan to do now?" Blake's face tinted scarlet somewhat, but that didn't stop her from smirking at Aero once again with the same look as before.
"Nothing." Was the reply she got as Aero got up from where he was, sitting on the side of the bed that was actually Blake's, smirking with a smug look on his face.
He was sure Blake might have been aiming for something else, but then again, that probably wasn't the case. He knew she actually had a playful side about her, but he also knew she wasn't THAT playful.
"Heh, I was only kidding Aero." Was the response Aero got, almost exactly as he had expected as Blake sat up next to him, resting her head on his shoulder.
"So you were just being a bit playful is all huh?"
"Yeah, that's all..." Was the reply she gave as she simply smile, continuing to lay her head on his shoulder.
Aero couldn't help but chuckle at the way Blake acted. For as much as he could remember, since the first day he met her, she always seemed to be in her own world, always keeping quiet, reading her books, though still never feeling the need to shy away from being cheerful or humorous when it called for it. Now he was seeing a whole different side of her. A side where she was both affectionate, and cute, the latter be the most obvious of them all.
As Blake continued to rest her head on his shoulder, Aero couldn't hold himself back and quickly threw his arms around her, into a close and love filled embrace.
"A-Aero?" Blake muttered his name with a red colored face, obviously not expecting him to suddenly do such a thing.
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I just, really wanted to hug you." He said as he continued to keep his arms wrapped around her.
Blake let out a soft giggle as she returned the favor, wrapping her arms around Aero as well in an embrace. "Heheh, its okay, I don't mind if you do that."
Aero chuckled softly as he pulled back slightly, gently pressing his forehead against her own, a smile forming on his face. "Hey, Blake?" He quietly spoke, a part of him hoping this moment would last as long as possible.
"Hm? What is it?" The black haired girl looked to her lover, her own amber eyes staring into his silver colored ones.
"I... I'm really glad I confessed to you. I, honestly felt awkward about doing so at first, and I was scared you would reject me when you said there was already someone you had your eyes on, but, it made me very happy when you told me that person was me, and that you accepted my feelings. So... thanks. And, I love you." Were his words, his face showing his embarrassment in both a form of eyes looking away, and even a shade of red forming.
Blake giggled. She always found the way he acted affectionate to be both alluring and even captivating. Since the beginning from before he had even confessed to her, his words were as gentle as they had always been, and now that they were together, none of that changed in him, and she loved every part of that about him.
"Thank you Aero. I love you as well." She replied back to him, staring intently into his eyes before leaning forward and placing her own lips against his.
The feeling of her lips against his, it was a feeling he knew all too well now, and it was one he never got tired of enjoying. The warmth he felt from her lips, and the spark of a flame that seemed to flare up from the passion of it all. Every time Aero kissed her, he always found himself wishing that it would last for as long as possible, maybe even forever.
'I don't want to let her go. I never want to let her go. I want... to hold her forever, if I can.' His thoughts reflected the same thing as always as he pulled her back into the embrace, the kiss intensifying through the meeting of both their tongues.
Blake grew a deeply mad red blush as she felt his tongue against her own. It was just like before the first time they kissed. He was good. Really good. So good it almost felt like she was about to pass out from how great it felt, like a euphoria that would send her to heaven.
'Please let this moment not end. I don't want to let him go.' Her thoughts conveyed her truest inner feelings as well as she found herself pushing against him, wanting the kiss to last longer and longer.
All good things must end though, as the saying was, and after a few more minutes of lip lock, Aero finally pulled away, taking a gasp of air, Blake doing the same as well, both looking at each other with love filled expressions.
"Sorry, I didn't mean, to get so into it. I just... really didn't want to end it, is all." Aero apologized, feeling a little embarrassed and awkward even.
"Please don't worry about it, I... I liked it. It, made me feel closer to you." Blake smiled as she shook her head, reassuring him as she moved her hand up, cupping the side of his face, staring into his eyes intently still.
The way Blake responded surprised Aero, but he smiled nonetheless, his own hand moving up and taking grasp of her's lightly. "Thank you Blake. I'm glad to know you were okay with it." He calmly spoke before taking her hand into his own and kissing it.
'No matter what happens from here on in, I'll always be with you Blake. Nothing will ever change my feelings for you. And I swear, I won't let anything take you from me.' His thoughts were strong with emotion as he held her hand gently still, his lover before him giggling and blushing lightly at his gesture.
Fate for Aero was always something that had given his life hell in the past, and yet somehow, he had always managed to overcome that. After his worst experience with it, he felt for once, even in the midst of the moment he was having with Blake now, that there was nothing that force could do though, to make things change from wonderful, to worse in any possible manner.
... but how cruel a mistress fate is to come at you, when you least expect it...
So I have come back with another new story that is a spin-off to my original RWBY fic, Black Roses, White Violets. So another one that focuses on one specific girl of Team RWBY, and it is Blake this time! So I had one idea to go about doing this like the other fic, Black Snow, but decided to do something different. The story here actually uses content here and there from an RP I have been doing, and I just add more to it. Anyway, expect more of this in the future, and expect to see Kitty Blake as well, cause why not? Anyway, favorite/follow if you enjoyed and wanna see more, and leave a review if you can, always helps me out to know where I can improve. Kasai signing off for now.
Edit: So episode 15 revealed that Kitty Blake IS INDEED canon! So I'm gonna be reworking the first two chapters of the fic, and possibly doing a chapter 0, that details what happened during the confession and links into Blake removing her bow. So I may have to take some chapters down at some point, but fret not, they will be back up.
