Author's Note- Happy Holidays everyone! Hopefully you've all been enjoying the holiday season. This chapter is a bit different, though not in the Ch.7 way (that won't happen again, I think) This time instead of White Rose the main focus of this chapter will be on Bumblebee so let me know how you think I did writing Blake and Yang interactions. Thank you all for reading, as of Ch.8 Icy Rose has had over 11,000 views and I would like to thank you guys for reading. A special thanks to byjinn who helps me edit every chapter and also bounces ideas around with me, without byjinn's help this story would be a lot less legible on the account of bad grammar. Seriously go check out his stories if you already haven't, they're all really good. On another note I'm pretty excited because Icy Rose has been added to the Petals Community, which if you haven't been has a lot of great fanfics archived. I've also started accepting beta reading requests, so long as the stories are RWBY based. Remember Read, Review, Favorite, Follow, and most importantly Enjoy!
Breakfast for the four girls was awkward, or for most of them as Yang remained blissfully unaware of the aggravated glances shot at her by Weiss while Blake and Ruby acted as if nothing was wrong. After setting the dishes on the counter to be cleaned later, Blake and Yang went back to Yang's room to change and as soon as the door was closed Blake looked over at a smiling Yang who was looking in her closet for clothes to wear.
"Well that was uncomfortable to say the least" Blake said as she went over to her dresser in the room and started looking for clothes to change into.
"What do you mean breakfast was delicious! You really know how to cook kitten" Yang said her usual enthusiastic self. Blake smiled as she picked out a simple pair of black leggings and a tank-top.
"While I appreciate the compliment the atmosphere at breakfast was less than comfortable" Blake said, Yang appeared shocked at this news as she rifled through her disorganized dresser for clothes.
"What do you mean?"
"Well first you took anything remotely sharp out of Weiss' reach" Blake started as she removed her nightgown, though before she could continue she was interrupted by a scoffing Yang who had found a pair of jeans to wear.
"So? I know it was a dream but everyone is allowed to overreact sometimes" Blake looked at her blonde girlfriend and rolled her amber eyes at this statement.
"I'm not going to point out how often you overreact, and second you also completely ignored Weiss throwing you irritated glances making things even more awkward." Yang looked outraged at the first half of Blake's response, forgetting the breakfast discussion as she continued changing, replacing her shorts for the pair of jeans.
"When do I overreact?" Blake smiled smugly at this making eye contact with Yang's lilac colored eyes.
"Well there was that time I had to hold you back from punching that guy who was hitting on me, or how about the time you nearly knocked a guy over at the midnight release of that one game you wanted, and don't forget….." Blake continued counting on her fingers before she was stopped as Yang wrapped her in a loving hug.
"Alright I see your point, but you know you love me" she said pulling back just enough for her dark-haired girlfriend to see her playful smile. Blake just sighed before burying her face in the crook of Yang's neck.
"You're lucky I love you as much as I do" Blake smiled as Yang wrapped her arms tighter around Blake, pulling her closer to the blonde as a kiss was planted on the top of her head. "Weiss and I sure have great taste in women" she thought.
"Alright as great as this is we need to dress and go do the dishes" Blake chuckled as Yang groaned at this statement.
"Do we have to?" she said, hoping to weasel her way out of doing that particular chore.
"Yes we do now, get finished getting changed Yang" Blake said, giving Yang a kiss as a morale booster "and Yang honey, stop staring at me and put a shirt on" Blake said with a smile as she found Yang staring at her body as she still was not fully dressed either.
"Whatever you say, my gorgeous kitten" Yang said with a suave smile as she grabbed a shirt.
"Flattery will get you everywhere Yang" Blake said with a smile as she finished dressing as well before pulling Yang into another hug and then pulling the slightly stubborn girl into the kitchen to do the housework she knew the boisterous girl hated.
Once they started the dishes Yang relented, and worked to finish quickly and so the dishes were done in a happy silence as Yang cleaned and dried the dishes, then handing them to Blake to stack and put away. It was as they were finishing that Yang noticed out of the corner of her eye Ruby and Weiss getting ready to leave.
"Hey Ruby where are you guys going?" Yang asked as she finished cleaning the dishes leaving Blake to put them away.
"Oh me and Weiss are going to a movie" Ruby replied cheerily as she put on her beloved jacket. Blake looked over at Yang and saw that she was debating whether or not to say something, and Blake had an idea of what it was. Making sure the others couldn't see her face she gave Yang a seductive look as incentive to stay quiet. Yang caught this look and made her decision quickly.
"Yeah you guys have fun, stay safe" she said focusing on her much more interesting girlfriend as the other two girls left.
As soon as the door closed Yang grabbed Blake and pulled her into a passionate kiss and as was usual they fought for dominance of the other's mouth, and while Yang always won the fun for Blake was in how excited it made Yang. As her lungs began crying out for air Blake broke the kiss and rested her head on Yang's shoulder.
"As much fun as this why don't we finish it later, I'm a bit tired after last night" she said making Yang sigh in disappointment.
"Normally I'd say no and keeping going to convince you, but since it's my fault you're tired I'll agree. Let's go to the living room" Yang said scooping up a surprised but happy Blake and carrying her bridal style
"Have I ever told you I love you Yang?" Blake said jokingly, putting her arms around Yang's neck.
"Only once or twice" Yang replied in the same tone as she set Blake on the couch, before laying down herself and cuddling closer to the other girl as she put the TV on to a random movie they had both already seen.
This was how they relaxed that afternoon, Blake resting her head on Yang's generous chest while Yang circled her arms around the raven-haired girl's waist drawing her close. And so they stayed like this for more than an hour until the end of the movie they were watching and the start of a new movie. This was when Yang's hand absent mindedly drifted up to Blake's bow before she started scratching, eliciting a satisfied rumble that emanated from Blake's chest.
"You like this?" Yang asked though she already knew the answer. Blake merely hummed in contentment as Yang continued scratching at the base of the bow.
"You know you can take the bow off, it's just me and you" Blake shook her head in a sign of disagreement.
"But what if Ruby and Weiss return while I have it off?" Yang started getting angry, as she always did during this particular conversation.
"So what if they do?! You shouldn't have to hide who you are!" Blake looked up into Yang's face and smiled, appreciative of how supportive and loving she was.
"I know you think that Yang dear, but not everyone is as accepting of Faunus as you are, and I don't want Ruby or Weiss to treat me differently, especially if it is with hate and intolerance" Yang looked thoughtful at this statement before she started speaking.
"Well you're right, Ruby will treat you differently but that's because she'll want to play with your cat ears thinking they are adorable….which they are" she added flashing a grin as she took the bow off and leaned forward giving each of Blake's cat ears a kiss, eliciting a giggle and smile from the owner of said ears.
"Alright you're right about Ruby, but what about Weiss?" Blake asked after she stopped giggling from Yang's kisses.
"Well I'm inclined to believe that if Ruby likes her so much she can't be all that bad" Yang said after a moment as she placed the bow back over Blake's ears, knowing that the girl would have done so anyway.
"Alright" Blake conceded after thinking about the issue "I'll them, but on two conditions first I decide when I want to tell them" She said not breaking eye contact with Yang who nodded her agreement.
"Agreed, and the second condition?" Yang asked as Blake suddenly grinned very wickedly as she sat up and straddled the surprised Yang.
"The second is I get to win the next kiss" once this sunk in for Yang she smiled back in the same manner, liking the turn of events unfolding before her.
"I'm sorry but I don't know if I can agree to that second condition" she said as she put a hand on Blake's neck and one on her lower back and pulled her down for a searing kiss.
In the end the fight between their two tongues was won by Blake who relished in her victory and in the taste of Yang's lips. They didn't disentangle themselves for a long time, too absorbed in each other. They didn't notice the sound of the door opening at the entrance of Ruby and Weiss, who entered and both immediately blushed and grew awkward at the scene they had stumbled on before retreating to Ruby's room. Shortly after the red and white girls exit Yang and Blake broke the seal of their lips in a need for air.
"Was...was that your sister and Weiss?" Blake asked a blush growing on her face
"Yeah I think it was and man, what a show they got" Yang said no shame breaking through her bubbly personality, Blake looked mortified as the blush on her face deepened.
"Oh god" she said her voice filled with embarrassment which made Yang laugh.
"Oh don't worry kitten, it's not like they haven't done the same thing. Just calm down" she said pulling Blake in for a hug and a more tender kiss while she stroked Blake's long black hair, after a moment this calmed the girl down.
"Your right" Blake said trying to stifle a yawn "we should go make dinner" Blake said attempting to get up while trying to fight back another yawn. Yang disagreed with this statement as made evident when she pulled Blake back into her embrace, an action which the other girl did not resist as she opted instead to pull closer into the warm grasp of her girlfriend.
"Or we can take a little cat nap" Yang said smiling at her choice of words, a choice which caused Blake to groan in exasperation.
"You really are lucky I love you as much as I do because you have a terrible sense of humor"
"What are you talking about my jokes are paw-some" Blake merely sighed as she put her hand over Yang's mouth.
"I love you but please enough with the puns" Yang smiled as Blake removed her hand.
"I love you too kitten" Yang answered as they drifted off to sleep on the couch, cuddled close together and happy.
This was how the black and yellow girls were found by Ruby and Weiss later in the day, having felt it was safe to come out, only to find the two asleep having overslept. Ruby and Weiss decided to cook dinner for all of them as a way to thank Blake for making breakfast that morning. Weiss was an adept cook and once she convinced Ruby that they wouldn't make 20lbs of cookies they got to work and instead made chicken and pasta with mixed veggies. It was the smell of food that awoke Blake and Yang who went to the kitchen delighted to find the table set and the food ready and as they sat down to eat, Yang let Weiss keep all her utensils for the meal.
