A/N: Hello there and welcome back to RWBY Homecoming.
Gotta bit a short chapter for you guys this time, but I still hope you enjoy it as much the others.
So let us begin!
Blake was awakened by the sound of her alarm clock beeping non-stop for five minutes. She tried to ignore it, but her sensitive ears were making it impossible to fall back to sleep. She groggily opened her eyes to be met with the flashing red light of her alarm; everything around it was just a blur of white, black and purple. Stretching her arm out, she aimed for the clock and slung down, only to miss the thing completely and smack her hand against the drawer instead. Several failed attempts and one sore hand later, She hit the top of the clock; successfully silencing the blasted thing and stopping the flashing red lights. She turned on to her back and stared at the white ceiling, only seeing a blurry mess through her vision. She was starting to remember why she had set her alarm so early in the morning today. Today was a special day and she couldn't wait for it to begin, she just needed to find the strength to get her sleepy butt out of bed.
Sitting herself up and gently lifting the covers off her body, Blake looked across the room, her eyes finally adjusting to the brightness of the morning. Her vision landed on a mirror in the corner of her room. From where she was, she could barely make her reflection out, but she could tell that she had a serious case of bed head hair. She wasn't surprised with this, she always seemed to wake up with messy black hair in the mornings, it was just another task for her to complete. She got up from her bed and stretched her arms wide into the air before she walked out of her room to the family bathroom to have a nice warm shower.
After her shower was finished, she returned to her room with a towel wrapped around her body and head. Sitting down in front of her mirror, she began to rub the towel on top of her head to help dry it quicker. Once she was done, she slowly removed the towel, letting her damp, raven-coloured hair fall down her back and in her eyes. She picked up the hairdryer on the table and turned it on, letting a stream of warm air blow her hair around as though she was out in the wind. The warm air brushing against her skin was a nice feeling, but it felt even better against something she was staring at in her mirror: A set of black cat ears poking out of the top of her head. Blake was proud of her ears, but they were a reminder of how cruel the world could be.
Blake was not human; she was a Faunus. The Faunus were a species that appear to be human in every way… with one exception. They possess a single animalistic trait that appears in form of a physical body part. Cat ears, bullhorns, monkey tails, fish fins, even snakeskin was among the many possible traits that Faunus could be born with. Depending on their trait, a Faunus would adopt the quirks and abilities of the animal they share. Blake, for example, was a cat Faunus, meaning she had extra sensitive hearing, an unhealthy fondness for anything fish related, and an unrelenting hatred of dogs of any kind. Not Faunus dogs, she was okay around them. Normal four-legged dogs on the other hand were a problem to her, like Ruby's pet dog, Zwei. How much she feared that black and white corgi.
Despite their animalistic appearance, the Faunus were just as kind and peaceful as any ordinary Human, but not everybody sees them that way. Some Humans see Faunus as monsters, freaks of nature that shouldn't exist, creatures that were made to serve them like mindless pets. They treated Faunus like tools, using them to solve problems that no human could possibly achieve, or just abused them for their entertainment; watching them struggle to finish their work while they sat back and laughed their asses off. Vale was thankfully a city where Humans and Faunus were treated as equals, and any crimes committed against Humans or Faunus was met with ruthless consequences for either was quite hard to come by in Vale, it was one of the reasons her family moved here, to begin with, and it made Blake's late childhood a lot more comfortable, especially after she met her friends. If she hadn't met them, she would have never felt truly happy with herself.
With her hair all dry and brushed into her typical style, Blake put on her favourite striped sweater and grey jeans and made her way downstairs to the kitchen to grab some breakfast before heading out. As she reached the bottom of the stairs, she noticed that her parents were standing in the hallway, dressed in dark business suits. Her mom was currently helping her father to fasten his purple tie, which made Blake chuckle quietly. Several years of politics under his belt and yet, her dad still couldn't tie a tie.
"There, that should be tight enough." The older woman said, stepping back to admire her handy work.
"Kali, you are a lifesaver." The significantly taller man replied. "Where would I be without you?"
"Probably running around your office, panicking over organising your schedule and forgetting to have lunch again, Gihra."
Gihra let out a full-hearted belly laugh and hooked an arm around his wife to pull her in for a single-armed bear hug. "And that's why I love you."
Blake watched as her father leans down and places a kiss on her mother's cheek before they stared at each other with their amber-coloured, lovestruck eyes. She winced back in disgust at the sight, she never did like it when her parents showed off their love for one another this way, especially when she was with them in public.
"Urgh, do you two always have to act all lovey-dovey when I'm around?" She blurted out loud so that they could be alerted to her presence. She watched as her mother's cat ears twitched at the sound of her voice and both her parents turned their heads in her direction.
"Blake, deary. You're up." Kali smiled as she was released herself from her husband's arms and made her way to her daughter. When she got to Blake, she proceeded to cup her hands on Blake's cheeks and look all over her body from different angles. "How did you sleep? Was the bed too lumpy? I can get you a new mattress if you want?"
All that Blake could do was roll her eyes and sigh. This was her mom all right, her loving, caring, overprotective mom who acted like her daughter was still 7. "Mom, I slept fine. You don't have to treat me like I'm a little kid anymore."
"I'm just looking out for my favourite daughter."
"I'm your only daughter." Blake stated the obvious with an unimpressed expression, trying her best to hide the smirk that was appearing on her face.
"Precisely." Her mom giggled as she once again checked her daughter a second time. Blake knew that he mother meant well, as any mother would be concerned with their child's safety. But there was a difference between caring for your child and never wanting them to grow up.
Her mother finally stopped her pampering when her father coughed loudly to gain both girls attention. "Come on Kali. We need to get to city hall as soon as possible."
"Busy day ahead?" Blake asked, even though she already knew the answer she would be given.
She watched as her father walks over to a briefcase sitting on the hallway cabinet and begins to put multiple files into it. "You don't even know the half of it. First I have a meeting with the council to discuss new laws and updates they would like to implement, then I have to meet with Miss Schnee to discuss the proceedings for this years annually Schnee Tech Expo. And lastly, I have a mountain of paperwork sitting at my desk waiting to be sorted out." Upon placing the last file inside the briefcase, Gihra slammed it shut, letting out an exasperated sigh which made his family move closer to him. "It won't be an easy day, but running a city never is."
Blake didn't like to see her father in this state, but that's what happens when you're the mayor of Vale. He used to be the chieftain of Menagerie, but he eventually stepped down so that he could pursue a more diverse career in politics, hence the reason why they moved to Vale a decade ago. He's been the mayor of Vale for less than two years now and has so far been able to hit all the major targets he promised in his campaign. People saw Gihra as a man who was brave and determined to see a job through, a man who wasn't afraid to stand against any action that he deemed untrustworthy, even if he was outnumbered. But what they never saw was the man who would be losing his cool when being weighed down with a plethora of responsibilities. He could handle them no problem, it just took a little encouragement to get him going again.
Knowing how to fix this, Blake walks to her father's side and rests a hand on his shoulder, although it was nowhere as close to his shoulder due to his gargantuan height, but it was close enough for her. "It's ok dad. If anyone can do it, it's you."
"Hahaha, I suppose you're right." Gihra chuckled, giving Blake her own warm inducing hug. They separated as Gihra continued to prepare for the day ahead. "I don't suppose that your day will be as hectic as ours, Blake?"
The younger girl simply chuckled at he father's method of lightening mood. it was good to see him back to his old self. "Probably more than it ever will be. I'm going out with Yang for that date she promised a while back."
"Oh yeah, Yang! Such a nice girl she is." Kali said with an interested smile, her eyes practically sparkling at the mere mention of the blonde's name. "Tell me, How long have you two been dating?"
"...Two years." Blake answered slowly and hesitantly, both being weirded out by her mother's behaviour and worried about where she was going with this.
"Really? That long?" Blake only responded with a nod. The older cat Faunus tapped a finger across her lips calmly as she ponders through her thoughts. When she was finished, she came back to the real world with a motherly smile. "Hmmm… And it only seemed like yesterday when I showed her your baby pictures."
"Mom!" Blake's eyes widen as she rubs a hand against her forehead, feeling the intense heat emitting from her flustered face. She looks to her mother with annoyance, but she kept her smile on her face as her father was stifling a laugh of his own from behind her. "You two are the worst sometimes."
Kali's smile only grew as she embraced her daughter with a motherly hug. The annoyance and blushing were disappearing from Blake's face, replaced with a small smile as she returned her mother's embrace. The two stayed locked together until Kali pulled out, but still keeping her hands on her daughter's shoulders. "Your father and I must be going now sweetie. We should be back at around 8:00 so I hope you don't mind making your own dinner tonight."
"That's ok, I can cook for myself. As long as Yang stays away from the kitchen that is." Blake amusingly stated, resulting in her mom chuckling at her dry joke.
Another cough was heard from her father as her mother let's go of Blake's shoulders to turn towards the mayor, who was standing at the front door with the briefcase in hand. With a sudden realisation and no hesitation, Kali walked to her husband's side and took the briefcase out of his hands before returning their attention to Blake.
"See you later tonight, Blake." Her father said as he opened the door for his wife who walked through first. Once she was through, he began to follow her, but not before he stops halfway out the door and turns back to face Blake one last time. "We love you."
"Love you both." Blake responded. With one last smile, her father closed the door behind him, leaving Blake to herself.
The amber-eyed girl let out a sigh, allowing her body to relax as she embraced the silence of the empty house. She loved her parents, she really did, she would not trade them for anyone else, but sometimes they were so embarrassing to be around with, especially when they were talking about her. It didn't help that her father was the mayor either, all the news station and reporters had their eye on him, which meant she would be caught in the spotlight as well. At home, however, she could enjoy the quietness and comforts of her room in peace without the public completely hounding her family with questions. No cameras, no reporters, no politics, nothing. Just her, the silence of the empty house and a good book to read. But now was not the time for reading, now was the time to eat.
After cooking and eating up a small breakfast - some toast with jelly spread and a glass of milk, Blake grabbed her bag from the coat rack and made her way to the door. She placed her hand on the doorknob but stopped. Something felt off about her this morning. She couldn't help but feel as though she was missing something but she couldn't place her finger on it. When she turned to face the hallway mirror, that's when she noticed the oddity. Her cat ears were exposed, twitching ever so slightly upon the discovery of their presence. When she noticed it, she immediately made her way back up the stairs, into her room and towards her drawers. How could she so foolishly forget the most important thing she had to take with her whenever she was in public?
She opened her top drawer and pulled a long black ribbon out from it. When Blake first arrived in Vale, she was bullied by some of the more racist kids in the neighbourhood due to her Faunus heritage. It was unpleasant for her to endure, she wanted to make new friends, but she started fearing that everyone would judge her for what she is and not for who she is. It wasn't until she met Yang and Ruby that they suggested an idea to fix this. They tied a length of black fabric into a bow on her head, perfectly masking the cat ears that lay underneath. It felt weird to wear at first as it made her ears itch like hell, but after purchasing more comfortable fabric, she started to like the bow, it made her feel more comfortable in public, around humans to be more specific. Finally, she had a chance to live her life without the fear of being rejected by those around her, she would be able to make friends who could meet her personality before they met her appearance.
Hell, she was friends with a Schnee. A Schnee! A name that a Faunus would respond with anger and distaste. The family were not especially kind to Faunus kind, treating them like slaves and putting their lives at risk for below average pay. But after Weiss' sister took over the brand, she made several changes to the way the company works, improving the workforce for Faunus within the company. Some Faunus still hated the Schnee', but Blake never truly loathed the Schnee name, and Weiss never showed any hostility towards her because of her when she revealed her secret to Weiss, she didn't react with anger and mistrust, she accepted her race and didn't treat her any differently than her other friends. It was good to know that she was a friend to the Faunus' greatest enemy.
With the bow tightly secured around her ears and a small bag slung over her shoulder, Blake went back downstairs and out through the front door. When she left her house, she was greeted by the sight of Yang, dressed in her typical brown jacket and blue jeans, but now rocking what she would call "a bitchin pair" of aviator sunglasses. She was leaning against a dark red car with her arms crossed and a big toothy smile on her face. It was clear to Blake that the car actually belonged to one of Yang's parents, they most likely let her borrow it for this date. Yang did prefer her motorcycle, Bumblebee for trips into town, but considering what she may have had planned for today, it was probably wise to ditch the two-wheeler this time.
"Somebody call animal control because there's a wildcat on the loose and I'm staring right at it." Yang jokingly yelled out as the cat Faunus made her way down the path leading to the pavement.
"I don't know whether to find that comment offensive or flirty." Blake said as she came to a stop in front of her girlfriend.
The blonde unfolded her arms and took off her aviators, revealing violet-coloured eyes that showed a playful yet mischievous look. "No matter what one you pick, you'll still love me."
"Flirty it is." Blake said. She leaned her head forward and planted a kiss on the girl's cheek. When she brought her head back, she could see the intense blush on Yang's face. The blonde was clearly not expecting that to happen so quickly, a reason to why she loved Blake so much.
When Yang didn't talk for a good minute, still trying to recover from the sudden kiss, Blake decided to break the silence. "So... what do you have planned for our date?"
"Well, I thought we could do some shopping, grab a bite to eat for lunch and finish it all off with a trip to the movies. There's this cool new movie I had my eye on for the past few months that finally came out and I think we should go see it together." Yang listed each activity with her bionic fingers, the excitement in her voice rising as she speaks.
"Please tell me it's not another corny action flick with awfully bad one-liners." Blake
Yang simply shook her head in disagreement. "Nope." She said, popping the P. "And it's not one of your cheesy romance stories."
"Still sounds like a better idea than our last date."
"I keep telling you, how was I supposed to know that the bar also doubled as a fight club!" The blonde mumbled, sounding a little bit irritated.
Blake rolled her eyes and shot a teasing smile at her, with Yang sending back one of her own. She walked round to the passenger side of the car and opened the door. "Come on. We better get to town so we can beat the crowds."
"No need to rush, Blakey." Yang wittingly remarked as she opened her door and entered the car along with Blake. She pulled a set of keys from her pocket and placed them in the ignitions, looking over to her passenger. "We have the whole day ahead of us."
She started the engine and slowly pulled out onto the main road and headed straight to the city.
The black and yellow couple was now walking away from the movie theatre and heading towards the nearby park, hoping they would get their favourite seat so that they could watch the sunset and reminisce on the day they had. Today's date went by quite smoothly, nothing too drastic happening to interrupt their alone time. Shopping went by with no major purchases being made from either party, they had lunch at one of Blake's favourite restaurants because of the types of fish they serve, and the movie they watched was a great experience. Now they were going to end it all off with a view of the sunset before heading back to Blake's for dinner.
The two sat on the bench facing the sun, watching the clouds move across the orange sky. Blake was resting her head against Yang's shoulders while the blonde slung an arm behind her. The couple were currently talking about the day they had, with Yang throwing in the occasional pun from time to time. At the moment, they were currently discussing the movie they just watched.
"Man, that movie was funny as hell. Who would've thought that those four assholes would be humanity's greatest saviours." Yang chuckled. "What did you think, Blake?"
"I enjoyed it." Blake replied, giving a small shrug. "I mean, the comedy wasn't really my preferred taste, but the action was pretty good."
"Yeah, although that guy with the shield gauntlet kinda reminds me of my dad for some reason." Yang stated, making Blake think about the connections between the two.
"Really? I don't think your dad shouts as many profanities as he did."
"Dude, you should see him when he gets absolutely hammered. The amount of crap that spews out of his mouth is comedy gold." Yang stared off into the distance, thinking about the last time she encountered Taiyang drunk. After that night, she had one heck of a story to tell her father when he was hungover. She saw that her girlfriend was looking at her with a somewhat worried stare, it took her a moment to understand why she was looking at her that way.
"Oh don't worry, he doesn't get as drunk as that anymore. Not after Ruby was born." She assured, raising her free hand in defence.
She settled down when she heard Blake let out a silent 'oh' from her mouth. The two went back to watching the sunset as Blake spoke up again. "Speaking of your sister, how was she after yesterday?"
"You know, that's the weirdest thing." The blonde said, making Blake raise an eyebrow. "She came back home giggling and acting like nothing ever happened. She then told me that she fixed whatever problem Weiss was having and has planned to spend the whole of today with her."
The information that she was given didn't convince Blake that what Yang had seen would be considered weird to her. Ruby just seemed to act like herself, so what's the problem she wondered? She decided to probe Yang for more information. "Did she tell you what the problem was?"
"Nope. All she told me was that the problem was personal and I didn't need to worry about it."
"That definitely sounds weird." Blake mumbled to herself. It was definitely unusual for a girl like Ruby to keep something hidden from her big sister, that was usually her stick. Still, she needed to know more about this. "Do think you know why she was keeping it vague?"
Yang didn't answer for a full minute as she thinks how to respond to the question appropriately. "I'm not completely sure, but I believe it may have something to do with my sis's little crush on the Ice Queen."
It was at this moment that Blake's train of thought came to a screeching halt. Ruby? In love with Weiss? That's just crazy. Those two are the exact opposites of one another, how could one be attracted to the other? More importantly, how does Yang think that this the case? This was going to be one hell of a talk.
"You think Ruby is in love with Weiss?" Blake asked with a pleading voice.
"I don't think so, I know so. Did you see how she reacted when we started talking about it in front of Weiss in school yesterday?" The violet-eyed girl looked over to Blake with a confident and cocky smile.
Blake lifted her head from her shoulders and stared at the blonde. "Yeah, she did act out of character yesterday, but that could be a result of all the stress from the exams and the teasing you were torturing her with. You're jumping to conclusion without any hard evidence."
"Are you saying that I'm overreacting to this situation? My sister has possibly found genuine love, of course I'm going to be overjoyed with this!"
"I'm just saying that there could be a chance that this won't work out the way you think it will. You have to be prepared for the unexpected Yang, even if you don't believe it. Although I must admit, imagining Weiss in a relationship with Ruby just seems right to me."
"Hehehe. Maybe it's true that opposites attract." Yang chuckled, not looking away from the sun and letting Blake rest her head back against her shoulders.
The silence between them was peaceful, the only sounds that could be heard were birds chirping, the rustling of the leaves being blown by the wind and the occasional car driving by in the distance. It was nice and very soothing. But Blake could hear Yang mumbling something under her breath, thanks to her cat ears. It sounded like she was distracted by something or she was thinking out loud. Blake didn't think anything of it, probably just her trying to think of a witty pun to break the silence.
"Blake." What she heard was a bit of a surprise to Blake. Yang spoke with a stern tone in her voice, causing Blake to face the blonde once again. The look on her face appearing more sombre than before. It was clear that the flirty, confident and carefree girl from this morning had disappeared. "Do you think Rubes has a chance with Weiss? I know they are best friends and Ruby clearly cares for Weiss deeply. It's just…"
There was a sudden movement from behind Blake. She turns to see Yang's normal arm was shaking subtly. The blonde quickly brought her arm back to her and grasped it by the wrist to calm it down. When the shaking stopped, Yang sighed loudly and dropped her arms to her side, letting her body relax against the wooden bench. Blake was starting to get worried now. Yang's arm only shakes when it was something to do with her injury, so why would it act up if she was just talking about Ruby and Weiss' relationship? It just doesn't add up.
"What is it?" She hesitantly asks.
"It's just... What if you are right? What if Weiss doesn't feel the same way back? What if she has to tell her that she's not interested in her? I can already imagine how she would react to that." Yang's voice was shaky, uncertain about something that was lingering in her mind. "I want Ruby to be happy, but I don't want her to get hurt as well, physically or mentally, but I know I can't stop this. It's going to happen, and when it does, Ruby will spiral back into depression and I can't be there for her. It would be just like the loss of my arm all over again."
The once joyful scene had all been shattered. Yang was hunched over looking at the ground in defeat and Blake was just staring at her with her hands on her lap. It was so rare to see Yang looking so weak and defenceless, the girl was never afraid to stare down danger right in its face, and sometimes she wasn't afraid to fight the danger head-on. But with one mention of the accident and that persona comes crashing down in a heartbeat. Blake needed to pull Yang out of this emotional rut and fast.
"While I wouldn't talk about a friend's secret without their permission, I can see where you're getting at." She said with as much confidence she could muster. Yang didn't speak a word, only looking at her which was enough for Blake to continue on. "Ruby was afraid when you lost your arm, I can remember the look of fear and guilt on her face when we first saw you in that hospital bed. She took your injury like a stab to the heart; locking herself in her room and crying herself to sleep every night and saying that it was all her fault and that she was a terrible sister. At least that's what she told me."
Yang's eyes widen in shock. Her reaction seeming to indicate that this was the first time she had heard anything of this, which was a good thing. It would help Blake prove her point. "I… I did not know that. I know she was depressed when it all happened, but I never thought she would blame herself for something I did. Why didn't she tell me?"
"Because she didn't want you to see her like that." Blake answered immediately. "She knew that you were probably dealing with your own bout of depression, and she believed that if you saw her in that state, it would only make you feel worse. So even with all the guilt and sorrow built up inside her, she held back the tears, faked a smile when you were around and did anything to cheer you up because she felt that it was her time to be the big sister to you."
Yang's brain took in the information about her sister slowly. She looked back to the sun and rested her head against her hands, her face softening a little bit as she stared. "I guess you're right." Yang mumbled so quietly that no Human could hear her. Luckily for Blake, she was no Human.
"As for her and Weiss? Well, I agree that there is a slight possibility that it may end with one of them in tears, but we don't know if that will happen." Blake rested her hand across Yang's shoulder to assure her that her words had truth to them. "Your sister is strong, Yang. Stronger than any of us, and I hope that when she eventually confesses her love to Weiss, and that Weiss will love her back. But if what you say does happen, we need to push past the negativity and be there for Ruby."
Yang lifted her head from her arms, but continued to stare at the setting sun. She felt Blake's soft hand removed from her shoulder. She couldn't see it, but she could tell that the cat was unsure if her speech had impacted her in anyway. She knew that she needed to confirm to her girlfriend that she was feeling better, she needed to thank her for this and she had just the idea.
In a sudden change of roles, Yang lowered her head onto Blake's shoulder this time, causing the cat Faunus to look down in surprise and saw the heart warming smile across her girlfriend's face. "Thanks Blake. Thanks for looking out for my sister."
Blake continued to look at her in surprise, but her expression slowly faded into comfort and she follows Yang's movement by slinging her arm around the blonde's back. "It's no problem. Ruby is like a little sister to me. If she needs my help, I'll do what I can."
The two stayed where they were as the sun finally disappeared behind the trees with the orange sky line following right behind it. The silence returned to them, but it wasn't the same awkward silence from before. This was the same silence that Blake felt back at home when her parents left the house, the one that soothes her when delving into a really good book, and now she had the added benefit of the warm fire that came off Yang to calm her nerves. In her mind, this date was perfect.
It was a full 10 minutes before the silence was broken yet again.
"Say, if they do both fall in love with each other, which one do you think is going to make the first move?" Yang asked absentmindedly, ending the tender moment between them.
"Huh?"
"If they are going to start a relationship, someone has to light the fire, right?" Yang clarified as she picked herself up from Blake's shoulder.
The raven-haired girl pondered through her mind for a moment before coming to decisions. "Between the two, I'm leaning more towards Ruby."
"Really?" Yang said surprisingly.
"Yeah. Ruby is more vocal about her emotions than Weiss, who never lets her emotions cloud her judgement. Ruby can express her emotions vividly and you can tell when her words have meaning to them. She can tell Weiss that she loves her and we would all know that she means it, even if we didn't know about her affection before hand."
"Yeah, I get that, but you keep forgetting what happened yesterday. Ruby isn't the best when it comes to making friends, she's so nervous and shy most of the time that she can barely get a word out without stuttering. There is no way that Ruby will have the guts to stand face to face with Weiss and say "I love you." She will chicken out the minute she starts blushing." Yang retorted. "Weiss, on the other hand, has the initiative that Ruby lacks in some places. She isn't afraid to say to someone how she truly feels about them, whether she likes them or absolutely despises them. If she truly does love Ruby, then she'll be the one to tell her without getting spaghetti legs."
Blake understands what Yang meant, but she still believed that her reasons for Ruby confessing were stronger than hers. She had read several romance novels in her free time and she knew how love worked. "Your argument is sturdy, but I still think Ruby will confess first."
"Wanna bet on that, Kitty Kat?" Yang challenged with a sly grin on her face. Blake knew where this was going; another one of Yang's attempts to prove that she was wiser than the bookworm. Normally, she would only join in on these bets whenever Ruby or Nora was around, but after what they were debating, how could she not pass off the chance to prove her girlfriend wrong?
"How much?" Blake asked; a confident smile spreading across her face.
"20 lien. Winner gets to pick any location for our next date."
"And the loser can't complain or fuss about it?"
"Not even a moan." Yang said, standing up from the bench and holding her hand out to Blake. "So, do we have a deal?"
Standing herself up and looking down to her hand, Blake nodded and shook hands with Yang, staring into her lavender-coloured eyes with confidence.
"Deal."
A/N: I sense that the Bumblebee shippers are coming my way.
So this chapter was more focused on Blake and Yang and their relationship together.
We get to meet Blake's parents in this chapter as well. We haven't seen a lot of her parents in the last two volumes, and judging by the way the story is going, they may not be around for much longer. But this is my story and I say they live. I can see Blake's parents as the kind you would not what to have during parents night at school, the ones that you hate because they treat like your a 2-year-old and tell embarrassing stories about you, but the ones that you love because they know how to cheer you up when your feeling down. Kinda fits the Belladonna family quite well if do say so myself.
One last thing before I go, there is a reason as to why this chapter is as late as it is. During my time writing this story and before I even began it, I made several drawings of the main characters from this story. I did this for two reasons. 1: I was bored, and 2: I thought it would help me visualise the scenes in my head more clearly if I could see what the characters were wearing. This brings me to my question to you guys.
Would you guys be interested in seeing these drawings? If you are, I could post them to Deviantart for you guys to see. Fair warning, I made them using paint so they may seem shitty, but trust me, they are not as bad as you may think they will be.
Other than that, that's all from me. I'll see you guys for next chapter.
Bye!
