A/N: So today was my first day of classes, it's nice to just come back here and hang out with Weiss and Yang.
Ch. 6
Yang Xiao Long didn't get nervous. She had plunged head first into Junior's club (on multiple occasions) at gunpoint, stared death in the eyes and laughed, she'd got her arm shot off for Ohm's sake. She didn't get nervous.
Which is why Yang was close to having a meltdown when she realized just how nervous she was at the idea of Weiss coming to a party she was hosting.
The blonde was standing in a towel trying to pick between the 6 outfits she had laid out on her bed, rubbing her neck the whole time.
"I don't see what the big deal is, you hang out with her almost every day anyways. Why is it so different now?" Ruby leaned against the door of Yang's room already changed into her dress pants and dark red button up.
"Because I work for her Rubbles. I had to be there and so did she. It's her house I was walking into, it's not like she wasn't gonna be there. But now...neither of us have to be anywhere, what if she wants nothing to do with me outside of work? What if she sees Blake and just instantly falls in love her with her, we all know that's happened before. Oh no...what if she brings Neptune…" Yang ended her rambling by collapsing on the bed, and rolling onto her side.
"Okay first of all, get some clothes on, you're still in a towel dude, gross," Ruby said shielding her eyes while Yang let out a small chuckle and sat up on the bed. "Second, when I invited Weiss, she sounded really excited. You need to tell her how you feel. You owe her that. And if it's reciprocated, that's great, you'll figure it out from there."
"And if it's not?" Yang asked, all the usual confidence drained from her voice, her shoulders slumping a little at the idea.
"Then you get some closure and move on. And I'll be waiting with two pints of Ben and Jerry's and the best Harry Potter marathon you've ever been a part of."
"Better make it three," Yang said with a small smile, nudging Ruby's shoulder. "When did you get to be an expert in the ways of love, Little Red?"
"I'm not, I'm just an expert in the ways of Yang," Ruby said with a laugh. "Now get some freaking clothes on, we're leaving in 20 minutes."
Yang smiled to herself as her little sister left the room, finally deciding to match Ruby and wear and yellow button up with black pants. With one last glance in the mirror, she grabbed the keys to Bumblebee and headed out the door.
oO0Oo
Twenty minutes later, Yang found herself tasked with hanging a birthday banner across the highest archway in the bar. The blonde sighed and rubbed the back of her neck wondering how she was going to make this happen.
"Don't tell me the great Sun Dragon will be defeated by a banner," Yang turned to see Weiss smirking at her, arms folded across her chest. Yang's mouth fell open as she tried to form coherent sentences. Weiss looked stunning in a beautiful slate grey dress that faded out to white at the bottom, a white sash tied at the waist, hair in her signature side pony.
Yang continued to gape at Weiss, her mouth opening and closing comically. "That's Yang speak for 'Gosh Weiss, you look pretty tonight.'" Blake came around Yang's other side and stuck her hand out. "I'm Blake, I've heard a lot about you. Well...Yang's told me a lot about you. Quite frankly she doesn't shut up about you-"
The last statement seemed to snap Yang out of her trance, causing her to rush forward and slap her hand over Blake's mouth, using the other to push the faunus back towards the bar. "Oooooooookay that's enough out of you Blakey, how about you go clean some more glasses."
"That sounds like a two person job, why don't I assist you?" Weiss said as she smirked at Yang, "Besides, I'm sure Blake has a few embarrassing stories about you that I'd love to hear." And with that, Weiss strutted away to the bar, following a laughing Blake, leaving Yang with a mingled look of amusement and fear.
Blake beat Weiss to the bar, and when the heiress reached it, she noticed the hard look on the cat faunus' face.
"Look, I appreciate all that you've done for Yang, and Ruby too really, but I have to be honest with you," Blake started, maintaining steady eye contact that made Weiss slightly uncomfortable. "Yang is my best friend. She's done more for me than anyone, more than I ever thought I deserved. I'm sure I don't need to tell you this, but she's a catch. She's more than a catch, she's the catch. And she's falling for you. By the look of it, she's already fallen for you. You, Weiss, a married woman. You need to let her go. Yang's last girlfriend tore her apart, physically and mentally, and I won't let it happen again. Just...let her down easy, okay?"
Blake finished her monologue softly, with a pleading look in her eyes. Weiss stood stock still, but to her credit, she hadn't shown any sign of emotion. Yang had fallen for her? The stunningly gorgeous, kind hearted, utterly hilarious, total package, woman of her dreams had fallen for her? It didn't make any sense, but if Blake said it, it must be true. A warmth began spreading in her chest, as butterflies erupted in her stomach, the thought of loving someone and having them love you back was almost too much for Weiss to handle. She thought she might melt into the floor when she heard Blake clear her throat and raise an eyebrow expectantly.
"I would never do anything to hurt her, I can promise you that Blake," Weiss said, struggling to keep her face straight and solemn.
Blake gave a quick nod. "Good. Then I feel no guilt in telling you some truly embarrassing stories about her. There was this one time when we were all back in school, Ruby and Yang's dad had just mailed them their dog and-"
Weiss was only half-listening to Blake, watching Yang hang Ruby's birthday banner instead. How should she approach her now that she knew the blonde reciprocated her feelings? Weiss got so lost in her thoughts that by the time she had some semblance of a plan, the clock had struck nine and the bar was already filling with people.
"Alright Ice Princess, time for me to get behind the bar. Here, first one is on the house, Yang told me it was your favorite," Blake handed a glass of sangria to a stunned Weiss and winked at her, slinking behind the bar and immediately taking orders from about eight patrons. The heiress turned and spotted Ruby, who was standing on her tip toes, apparently looking for someone in particular in the crowd.
Weiss made her way over, ignoring the commotion that was happening at the front door, and stopped next to Ruby. "Who are you looking for?" the white haired girl asked curiously, smiling slightly and sipping at her drink.
"Her name is Penny. She's got the most adorable freckles, stunning green eyes, and perfect ginger hair. She usually wears a bow, I dunno if she will tonight, she usually does on her instagram," Ruby rattled off without looking at Weiss, still straining to get a good look over everyone's heads.
Weiss chuckled and rolled her eyes. "So I take it you like this girl. Have you told her?"
"Well ain't that the pot calling the kettle black," Ruby said still not looking at Weiss. When she didn't receive a snarky reply, she looked around to the heiress staring at her with a slightly shocked expression on her face. "Oh come on Weiss, I'm not blind. I see the way you look at Yang. I know that you're married, but the heart wants what the heart wants, and if Neptune really loves you, he'll want what makes you happy. So I'll make you a deal, you tell her and I'll tell Penny. Deal?"
Weiss was slightly taken aback at the younger girl's candor, but nodded anyway, turning to find Yang in the crowd, and frowning slightly when she saw her talking to a green-haired girl wearing some very tight clothing. "Ruby," said Weiss, turning her head slightly towards the brunette, "Who is that talking to Yang?"
"Hm?" Ruby asked, finally tearing her eyes away from the crowd, looking over to her sister. "Oh no...if Emerald is here that has to mean that-"
Her words were cut short when a pair of slender arms wrapped around her waist and a sickly sweet voice purred out, "Why hello there Little Red, feeling lonely without your wolf to keep you company?"
"Cinder," Ruby spat out the name, wrenching herself from the woman's grasp. "What are you doing here, we had you banned from the bar months ago."
The woman, Cinder, was extremely enticing, from her long raven hair, to the tight red dress she was sporting, all the way to her captivating amber eyes. Weiss thought she looked like one thing, and one thing only. Trouble.
"Now, is that any way to talk to an old friend, Little Red?" Cinder said, running her hand along Ruby's face.
"I wouldn't call an abusive ex-girlfriend an old friend. Get out," Ruby spat again, jerking away from the woman. Weiss had never seen the younger girl so angry.
"Ruby, shall I go get Blake?" Weiss asked, doing her best to sound intimidating, glaring at Cinder all the while.
"No, I've got this, but Yang definitely needs your help," Ruby said over her shoulder, not taking her eyes off Cinder. "Go, now," the brunette said so forcefully, it was hard to tell which woman she was addressing.
Weiss gave Cinder one last glare and turned to go find Yang only to see a sight that stopped her heart. She felt tears well up in her eyes and a lump growing in throat. The green haired woman, Emerald, had her arms wrapped around Yang's neck and was kissing her full on the mouth.
The heiress was about to run from the bar to get as far away from them as possible, but before she could, she came to her senses enough to notice that there was something wrong with the picture. Emerald's arms were wrapped firmly around Yang, but the blonde's arms were out and flailing, trying to push the woman off. Emerald's eyes were closed, while Yang's were wide open and full of fear. Weiss felt something snap inside her. She had never felt this angry. She found herself stomping over to the pair without thinking it over.
By the time Weiss made it over to them, Yang had managed to shove Emerald off of her, but the look in the green haired woman's eyes said she wouldn't be so easily stopped. Wide lilac eyes took in the shorter girl storming over, an apology already forming on her lips, but Weiss rounded on Emerald, not the blonde.
"Is there a problem here?" Weiss growled, her voice low and threatening, glaring up at Emerald with as much contempt as she could muster.
"Scram pipsqueak, the adults are talking," the awful woman said, smirking at Yang, not even bothering to look at the woman speaking to her. When Weiss remained in between the two, arms folded, Emerald was forced to look down at her, the smirk falling from her face. "Listen rich girl, Yang and I have some unfinished business to attend to, and when I'm done with her, she won't be able to walk straight for a we-"
SLAM
Weiss's right fist connected with Emerald's cheek before she could stop herself. Her blood was boiling, she didn't think she'd ever been this mad-or jealous-before. Emerald fell to the floor with a thud, but before the heiress could attack her further, Yang wrapped her arms around Weiss's middle, hoisting her off the ground and dragging her to a back to room.
Blake came running to kick the green haired woman out of the bar, but before she could Cinder came charging after Weiss only to have her feet swept out by Ruby. Together, the black and red pair threw the woman out of the bar, Ruby crying "and stay out!" Everyone broke out into applause, and while the brunette smiled and waved sheepishly, Blake found her way back behind the bar.
Three people walked into the bar then, one right after the other. One man with shockingly blue hair, a kind-eyed rabbit faunus who had just gotten off her shift at the hospital, and a tall ginger, sporting a green bow and freckles.
Penny saw Ruby.
Sun spotted Neptune.
And Velvet's jaw dropped as her eyes fell on Blake.
All three of them spoke at once, "Who is that?"
