"Get off me you brute!" Weiss protested, squirming out of Yang's hug. "You have so much to answer for!" Weiss poked Yang angrily in the chest. Then, she side-stepped her older sister and walked briskly towards the door.

"Hey! Where are ya going?" Yang exclaimed casually, raising her arms in exasperation. "I just got back and you can't even give me a warm welcome?"

"I have more pressing matters to attend to than to humour you!" Weiss called over her shoulder, reaching the door and stepping out of the room. Weiss had only one thing in mind. She needed to get to Blake and warn Blake about Yang. Yang was dangerous. Yang had always been the gorgeous one — what with her perfect body, easy-going smile and luscious blond hair. Not to mention, Yang was so much more open than Weiss could ever be. Yang just attracted friends from all sides. Yang never once had to be alone. Because of that, Yang didn't understand just how precious friends were.

Yang was the biggest playgirl around town.

"Where's she off to?" Weiss heard Yang ask loudly, her voice muffled slightly by the distance and the walls separating the sisters. "I expected a huge lecture and I have all my excuses prepared!"

"She's probably going to check on the kitty," Pyrrha answered cryptically.

"Kitty? What kitty? Weiss got a kitty?"

Blake had just picked a fresh book off a shelf when Weiss barged into the library, disrupting the silence in the air. Before Blake could even get a word out, Weiss stormed at her with an incensed expression, grabbing Blake by the hand and pulling her to the couch in the farthest corner of the library.

"Um, Weiss?" Blake questioned as she was being dragged by the princess. "Are you—"

Weiss pushed Blake onto the couch. Then, she lay herself down horizontally on the sofa, snuggling her head onto Blake's lap and reaching out to grasp Blake's free hand once again. Comfortable, Weiss finally breathed.

Blake smiled, setting down her book in favour of running her other hand through Weiss' hair. "You're being needy today," Blake noted fondly. "Did something happen?"

"Maybe," Weiss responded, turning around so her face was snuggled into Blake's shirt. Weiss breathed in. Blake always smelled so nice.

"Are you going to tell me what happened?"

"Read to me first," Weiss replied, her other hand clenching around a fistful of Blake's shirt.

"I don't have Beauty and the Beast with me right now," Blake said.

I love this book, Blake had told Weiss during one of their library moments where Blake would read while Weiss finished up her business. They would sit in comfortable silence, just enjoying the other person's presence.

Aren't you glad I recommended it to you? Weiss had smiled, looking up from her work. The backlight from the window brought out Weiss' angelic aura.

It reminds me of us— it's like exactly our story. Blake had continued.

Weiss had made an expression that looked like she couldn't decide whether to scowl or to pout. Are you saying that I'm the beast that's keeping you prisoner in my house?

Oh, Blake had responded, surprised. I never thought about it like that.

How else can you think about it?

Blake had blushed. I thought I was the beast that the beauty found it in herself to love.

You aren't a beast Blake, Weiss had asserted, frowning. Faunus aren't beasts or Grimm in any way.

I know that now, Blake had shrugged uncomfortably. But you know, I used to wish I didn't have these. Blake had lamented, wiggling her Faunus ears. I thought about cutting them off but didn't have the courage.

Don't you dare. Weiss had set aside her work to scoot closer to Blake. Weiss raised a hand to pet Blake's ears. I love your ears. They are one of my favourite things about you.

Blake blushed once again. Well, okay. Blake had stammered. You aren't a beast either Weiss! Blake blurted out. Weiss was the most beautiful person Blake had ever met.

We can be each other's beasts. Weiss had suggested, her hand squeezing Blake's.

Blake had blinked at Weiss. I'd like that.

"Read anything to me, I just want to listen to your voice." Weiss said, bringing Blake out of the memory.

"Well if you talk to me, you'll be able to listen to my voice," Blake continued prodding. "I'll read to you afterwards as a reward," Blake teased.

Weiss scowled, swatting at Blake's face playfully. "And to think, you used to do everything I said."

"Yeah well, that was before I realized what a pushover you were," Blake rolled her eyes, having absorbed some of Weiss' mannerisms. "And before you armed me with Gambol Shroud. I feel wholly confident I can punish you now if you misbehave." Blake's teasing never ceased.

"I regret giving you confidence."

"You don't mean that," Blake soothed, stroking her thumb across Weiss' hand.

"You're right, I don't. Which bugs me." Weiss paused. "You've changed so much in such a short amount of time."

"A good change?"

"I think so," Weiss smiled, "It's just, sometimes I look at you and find it hard to reconcile you with the scared little kitty-cat I rescued just a month ago."

"I know what you mean," Blake said soothingly. "I feel like, my life began with you. My real life, you know? That everything before meeting you was just a distant dream."

"Blake?"

"Yes Weiss?"

"You swear you would tell me if I do something stupid right? Or like, if you think I'm making a mistake? You would definitely punish me right? You wouldn't just let me do bad things because you were afraid of telling me?" Weiss rambled, her eyes fixed on a small square of Blake's clothing, her hands fisting the material.

"Of course I would," Blake said, confused.

"Promise?"

"Promise." Blake said easily. "Weiss, what is this about?"

Weiss stilled, then sat up abruptly. She repositioned herself so she was sitting on Blake's lap and her arms were around Blake's shoulders. Weiss' eyes steeled over, determination setting in. Weiss eyes drifted over to Blake's lips. This time, she was going to do it. She was. In one smooth motion.

Weiss kissed Blake.

Fireworks.

It was everything Weiss had imagined. Everything Weiss had fantasized.

Then Weiss pulled back with great difficulty. Weiss locked eyes with Blake, who looked breathless and astounded.

Blake was the one who asked if they could be friends.

It seemed only fair that Weiss be the one to ask this time.

"I'm upgrading you," were the words that came out of Weiss' mouth.

Weiss wanted to punch herself. Those weren't the words she had rehearsed. She had planned something romantic. Something so moving that Blake couldn't say no. That speech must be somewhere in the mess that was her mind.

Blake was staring at Weiss intently but remained silent.

"You aren't my friend anymore. You're my girlfriend." Weiss said finally, losing her will and looking away from Blake. "Okay?" Weiss asked, waiting with her fists clenched where Blake couldn't see.

Blake raised her hands to cup Weiss' face, moving the angel's gaze back on her. Blake smiled.

"Okay," Blake agreed.

"Okay?" Weiss repeated, eyes widening.

"Yes," Blake repeated, smiling in spite of herself at Weiss' joy.

"That means I can kiss you again, right?" Weiss asked.

"Yes."

"And that you can't go around kissing other people, no matter how blond and gorgeous and convincing they might be."

Blake raised an eyebrow. "That's a rather specific scenario."

Weiss chuckled sheepishly, running a hand through her hair. "Well, about that…"

Blake frowned. "What?"

Weiss leaned down and kissed Blake once again. If this was a dream, Weiss was going to milk it as far as she could.

Ending the kiss in favour of breathing, Weiss touched her forehead to Blake's.

"It's probably time to introduce you to my sister."

Hey guys~
So this is a message from the author so if you are busy people you don't have to read this part.

I got a review from a guest today who told me that the pacing of my story was weird. I was like: oh yeah, it is. Silly me. And went back and changed previous chapters to make sure they made sense time-wise. So if chapters are a bit different or if details have changed when you read them again, know that it's just me reviewing and editing to add to the fluidity and coherence of the chapters.
So yeah, just wanted to thank the guest for their feedback! And thanks to everyone else for reading! I really appreciate it :)
