Blake Reacts to We Were Close, Part 2!
A/N: Welcome, one and all, to Weiss Reacts! We're continuing this craziness! Hopefully we can cover 54 chapters in the time we have, accounting for procrastination, fawning over my (half-joking) waifus, and so on...eh. It'll be fine. Hopefully. I dunno. I've got this down to a science! I think!
Aaaaanyway. Another thanks for our good friend Half-Blind Otaku-sempai, who allowed us the pleasure of writing such a chapter! If you guys decide to go read it after this- which you should, it's far better than Weiss Reacts- be sure to tell him where you heard of it from! Although, judging from the fact that he writes the Reactsverse WITH me, it'd be kinda hard for people not to have heard of him if you're a regular fan of my fics...
*ahem* Well, let's get this stuff out of the way!
DISCLAIMER: RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth, otherwise I'd have more hilarious disclaimers to give (I'm obligated to, he loves his hilarious disclaimers).
All mentioned franchises and characters belong to their respective owners.
We Were Close belongs to Half-Blind Otaku.
"Yep." Blake chuckled, popping a piece of toffee popcorn into her mouth. "Cardin gets almost murdered for the second time in a row for attempting to blackmail a freaking ex-terrorist vampire."
Weiss scratched her head. "Er, Blake, where'd you get that? I only looked away from you for three seconds and then you had a box of those."
"Something something Spiral Power, something something fourth wall breaking, something something Tidal Wave." Blake shrugged. "There, Vesperia reference completed."
"Hehehe, this Cardin wouldn't survive in our Beacon!" Yang chuckled. "Velvet's obviously got a massive axe and her yandere tendencies, Blakey here's manlier than half the men here, and I think that one triceratops Faunus wouldn't appreciate being insulted for being a Faunus..."
"Not to mention him being punched by OUR Cardin." Blake said, her mouth full of popcorn. "He'd also get zerg-rushed, too."
"Okay, next chapter, ladies!" Yang announced. "I smell fanservice!"
"It's a beach episode." Weiss grumbled. "Definitely perverted."
Blake blushed slightly as she read the chapter. "...aaaaand of course Mina is incredibly lewd as usual."
"Can you allow me the honors?" Weiss pleaded. "Please? I've been dying to call some other idiot out for being a pervert apart from Yang."
Blake sighed, gesturing towards the screen. "Go ahead."
"T-this vampire is a tawdry pervert who needs to control her perversion! Moron! She reminds me of Yang when she demands Jaune slather her in sun lotion! S-stupid moron!"
"Okay, well, we got Weiss' righteous outrage out of the way. Now, onto the next chapter! Which I think will involve someone- and by someone I mean Mina- getting drunk. The title gives it away." The brawler declared loudly, before changing the chapter.
"Well, whaddya know, she DOES get drunk!" Blake laughed. "Aaaand that ended fairly...badly, actually."
"Ruby, if you get drunk, I will end you." Yang smiled cheerily. "I don't care if you're old enough to, I will end you. Okay?"
The reaper gulped. "S-sure, s-sis. No problem."
"No need to worry. I won't get drunk, unlike a certain couple of girls on Melanie's birthday-"
"In my defence, you guys didn't listen to me telling you that the thing had no alcohol in it! Then again, we met Rise, so it was all worth." Yang shrugged.
Weiss grumbled. "Suuuure meeting Rise was the thing that made the night worth, and not, say, having half the people we know making fools of themselves..."
"Oooh, ooh! Next chapter!" Ruby flailed in the air. "I want to see how this arc ends!"
"Yeah, yeah, Ruby, we all do." Weiss sighed. "Honestly, you can be so impatient."
"I'm high on sugar right now!" The reaper squeaked out. "I'm so excited! And I don't know why!"
The heiress frowned as she read the next chapter. "Once more, I am reminded of my grandfather. And I am enthused by the mental image of my father punching my counterpart's father in the face for not showing his child enough love."
"Speaking of children...d'you guys know where Elsa is?" Yang inquired. "I haven't seen her in, like, ten chapters."
"Elsa's on leave with mother." Weiss stated. "Mother wants her to meet my real sister, Winter."
"That's so sweet!" The brawler giggled. "Your parents barely know her and they're treating her like their own child..."
"As far as they're concerned, she IS their own child. That and Siegfried finds the concept that he now has two of me, and one is a shrinking violet bookworm, hilarious." Weiss stated, with not a tiny hint of pride in her voice.
"This Mina girl..." Blake frowned. "She LACKS MANLINESS!" She smacked the desk with her fist, roaring loudly. "She's got to gain a backbone later or she'll be worse than Shinji! SHINJI!"
"Oh, relax, Blake. It's the twentieth chapter of seventy. She'll probably get manlier eventually." Yang shrugged. "Just wait."
"Fine...but I am still disappointed in my other self for falling in love with this clearly unworthy unmanly vampire girl." The catgirl frowned. "Stupid other worlds not being manly..."
Weiss looked aside, shaking her head. "Here's to hoping she never finds this Mina girl with that blasted Lagann. She'll either ask her out on a date or punch her in the face for not being manly enough."
Ruby snorted. "For some reason, it's hilarious when Blake punches someone in the face for not being manly enough. Mainly because she goes all hammy..."
"The TRUE way to manliness is through hamminess! And occasional rousing speeches spoken from the cockpit of a universe-wide humongous mecha!" Blake declared proudly. "We should know this, we've done it before! Now, for more fanservice!" She moved to the next chapter.
Yang snorted, giggling mischievously. "Oh, Blake does have a rack..."
The catgirl blushed, shaking her head. "D-don't talk about my chest like that!"
"But why?" The brawler winked at her. "I know from first-hand experience-"
"D-don't remind me of the camping trip!" Blake covered her human ears and shook her head rigorously. "N-no!"
Weiss glared at her teammate. "Really, Yang, do you have to be so perverted?!"
"All part of the package~" She gave Weiss a thumbs up. "Although...daaaaamn, that crazy girl's coming onto Blake hard."
"We should do a drinking game!" Yang cheered, before realising the heiress was glaring at her.
"I-I mean with strawberry jelly shots!"
"Better be, Yang."
"Every time Mina hits on Blake, we take a shot." Yang suggested. "Every time they come close to, you know, justifying the M rating, take two shots."
Weiss nodded. "Sounds fair. And I'M making the shots. Just so you don't accidentally lace it with alcohol. Or pull off your reverse-psychology nonsense that got everyone 'drunk' the LAST time we let you prepare our drinks."
Yang pouted, crossing her arms. "Y-you're boring!"
Minutes later...
The girls had managed to read the next four chapters, consisting of Mina and Blake's date and the aftermath- including the very interesting dream and the reality behind it. On the desk lay a pile of plastic cups, drained of the jelly within them, from the impromptu drinking game.
Weiss groaned, patting her belly. "Ugh...scratch that game, this Mina girl is a stupid pervert and we won't survive if we do this..."
Ruby choked out a half-sob, half-groan, lying splayed out on her cookie beanbag. "Me too...I-I'm stuffed with jelly..."
Yang and Blake, in contrast, seemed impervious to the jelly. The former smirked.
"Maaan, Blake. You have a VERY lewd imagination-"
"S-shush!" The catgirl's cheeks rouged. "D-do you mind?!"
"You're just so cute to tease!" Yang giggled, smiling at her partner.
"C-confound it, Yang..." Blake muttered. "...and did Clara honestly expect not to be hit on by you?"
"You know me too well!" Yang winked at her cheekily. "I have to admit, though, me and this Yang have got to get together.
Who knows what shenanigans we might get up to together~"
Weiss rolled her eyes. "Ugh. Don't remind me of that time when those moronic counterparts of ours from that other world came in. We found you making out with your other self!"
"And that was totally worth it!"
"Sometimes, I think this author's taking scenes straight out of the Ninjas of Love novel..." Blake mumbled, blushing.
Ruby pointed upwards at the sky, now recovered from her jelly-induced indisposition. "Alright, now we must continue to the next chapter!"
"Okay..." Weiss grunted, pulling herself up. "But...I move that we do not continue this drinking game, for our own...health..." She groaned as she felt her belly twinge in pain.
Yang pouted, but relented. "Fine...only because you look like you actually might hurt yourself."
"Good Oum, you have mercy somewhere in there..." Weiss remarked drily.
Blake tapped her finger on the desk. "It looks as though the next couple of chapters are also an arc. Think we better read them all, hm?"
"Eh. Personally, I think we might be running out of air time, so I'll roll with it." Yang shrugged.
Weiss scratched her head. "Yang, we're not in a TV show."
"I know, but Elf's cutting it a bit close to the deadline, the lazy git, so I have to roll with it."
"Damn idiot writer..." Blake muttered.
Minutes later, again...
Yang snickered, before breaking out into a full out bout of laughter.
"I-I can't believe you guys actually did THAT in class! I mean, I know I'M lewd, but come on!"
Weiss facepalmed. "It's official. I am the least perverted person on this team."
"Note the 'least' there and the lack of 'the only non-perverted' in that sentence." Yang mischievously noted.
"I-It's your fault for influencing me, y-you stupid deviant! If you hadn't influenced me with your stupid pervert mind, m-maybe I wouldn't be like this!"
Yang smiled cheerily. "Oh, Weiss! I was only your magic feather! You had your perversion in you all along!"
"D-don't make up lies, Yang! I-I wasn't this big of a pervert!"
"So you admit to being a pervert?"
"T-that's not what I said, you dolt!"
Blake's face was completely red as she hid her face in her arms, mumbling to herself in shame and shock.
"I-I...I did that...t-that...no...Glynda..."
Ruby was the only one not currently occupied with anything. She continued reading the screen, chuckling.
"Oh, Mina...you may be a yandere with almost no social skills and an unhealthy obsession with our Blake, but we love you."
"Alright, enough bantering." Yang sighed. "Besides, Weiss, you know you can't beat me."
"I've beaten you before!" Weiss protested.
"With luck and help. I'm too awesome anyway~" Yang smirked. "And we've got to read more this hilariously lewd fic."
"It r-reminds me of Ninjas of Love at times..." Blake, finally recovered from her semi-comatose embarrassed state, whispered. "Seriously, Mina could fill the fanservice quota for any series five times over..."
"I know I'd hit it." Yang stated bluntly. "But sadly she'd only have eyes for Blakey~"
"Let's read the chapter already, if you're not going to acknowledge that I won this round!" Weiss grumbled.
"Okay, miss Bossyboots~" The brawler obliged, giggling.
"...oh, I can't look at this..." Blake shook her head. "T-this is just too embarrassing!"
"That's hardly manly~" Yang teased her.
"S-shush! Y-you try reading a fic-"
"Already have and I love it when people put me in lewd situations." Yang finished for her. "Although the fact that you'd share a room with her like that and NOT immediately think of tapping the sexy vampire Faunus is kinda cute...and manly in itself, I guess."
"A-As it should be!" Blake declared, jumping on the opportunity. "Only a REAL man would be able to do such a thing!"
Weiss rubbed her temple, sighing. "Can I go join a team with a less charged atmosphere?"
"I am hurt you'd want to join any other team!" Yang stated mockingly, pretending to be offended. "Are we not enough for you?"
"You're too much for me, thanks."
After the girls finished reading the CRDL rescue arc...
"Awwww...Cardin does have a heart." Yang giggled. "That's sweet."
"Pfft, Torchwick's such a pansy, using a crappy flashbang to run away..." Blake muttered. "What a coward..."
"At least everything turned out well and Cardin isn't too much of a scumbag here." Ruby noted happily. "He has hope!"
"Still think our Cardin beats the socks off of his any day." Weiss mused. "By dint of not being a bigot, of course."
Yang giggled. "Of course, Mina's recovery is also adorable as all heck..."
"Okay, guys." Blake shrugged. "Onto the next arc!"
"Yaaaaay!" Ruby cheered. "More arcs!"
...
"Okay, spa trip after Weiss became a waitress for a while." Yang giggled. "And dated Sun~"
"T-this arc was stupid!" Weiss complained. "I vote Blake suffer more!"
Blake grinned mischievously. "Oh, Weiss. I've been suffering for the last two chapters, now it's your turn!"
"The fic IS named after you after all. We've got to make you suffer." Yang shrugged. "And we're all in this together~"
"You're just saying that because you benefit from the rest of us three being embarrassed, moron."
Ruby shrugged. "Hey, I'm not embarrassed at all."
"Dammit! I just remembered, Ruby barely shows up in this fic!" Yang grumbled. "Dammit..."
"Hah! She gets to escape!"
"Oh, right, she draws yuri smut of everyone, never mind."
"WHAT?!" Ruby blushed. "N-no! I-I don't...I..."
"Success!"
"DAMN YOU XIAO LONG"
...
"Soooo...Cardin trying to explain how babies are made, two almost-lemons with Blake and Mina..." Yang counted.
"One being about Blake's birthday." Ruby corrected her.
"Oh, yeah, what are we doing for that?" Yang inquired. Blake shrugged.
"Eh. I'm sure I'll decide in a couple of chapters or something. Or Elf will."
"It almost seems too quiet..." Weiss mused. "Do you think he's going back to plot soon?"
"He'd better. Three lemons, man. Or almost lemons. Either way!" Yang whistled. "He's probably got some serious hook coming."
Blake sighed. "I'm still not manly enough in this story..."
...
"Oh, this Nadia girl NEEDS to be punched in the face." Blake declared vehemently, having read most of the chapters introducing the White Fang member. "She doesn't just look like she needs it, she NEEDS one.
Honestly, she should take a damn hint. If I leave her damn movement because I surprisingly DON'T want to horribly murder people for the sake of Faunus rights, then TAKE A HINT!"
"Seems Mina had the same thought, only with more you involved." Yang shrugged. "Eh."
Ruby nodded in assent. "Yeah. If she came here, you'd stomp her, right?"
"Pfft...me, being entitled to fight for the Faunus...I'm more entitled to fight for the protection of EVERYONE in Vale, dammit." The catgirl scoffed. "You'd think the White Fang would be more concentrated on trying to stop the Grimm, seeing as it won't matter if the Faunus get rights if we all get killed by shadow monster things..."
Weiss sighed, closing her eyes. "This story brings up memories of Grandfather...memories which I realise are pointless when the White Fang are a metal band now."
"I'm telling you, Adam needs to find a different hobby!" Blake threw her hands up in irritation. "The only way his stupid band's going to get noticed is if we mistake them for some more famous band with ATT as their initials or something."
"Chekhov's Gag, here we go!" Yang whooped.
Weiss stared at her. "What?"
"Nothing!"
"Daaaaaaamn, things got serious there." Blake whistled. "Although that was a bit of a shaggy dog story, what with Clara not being there anyway..."
"At least Nadia died. Good riddance." Yang scoffed. "Good. That...err, Weiss, permission to insult her?"
"...fine." Weiss gave her a very guarded look. "Just this once."
"Good." Yang grinned.
"That bitch needed to go."
Ruby kicked back and relaxed. "At least we got a part in that chapter."
"Even if I DID save all of you. Ungrateful..." The heiress muttered.
"Eh. Worth. My hair's safe, Nadia died, everyone turned out fine!"
"I don't think Nadia's dead..." Blake mused. "Never found the body."
"True, that. I have a BAD feeling about this one..." The brawler shuddered, but continued reading.
...
Weiss laughed. "I'm actually IN this story!"
"Of course, you're on the character list, are you not?" Yang reminded her cheerily.
"Heh. Well. At least they get my perfection correct, I'll give you that." The heiress said smugly.
Blake chuckled. "Seeing this fluff is adorable...but then knowing that that Nadia person's still around kinda darkens it."
"What's he up to, anyway?" Ruby inquired. "I'm guessing this'll all build up to a big wham episode, if you know what I mean."
"Probably." Weiss shrugged. "We'll see. I still like the nice treatment I get for once. I'm not exaggerated, bashed on, OR made to look stupid!
I actually LIKE this author! Even if he is a bit of a pervert."
"Yeah, with all those nice, vivid descriptions of what Mina and Blake like doing to each other..." Yang winked at her teammate, causing the latter to flush.
"Y-you stop that..."
...
All of the girls looked at the screen in surprise. Blake's mouth hung slightly open, while Ruby and Weiss' eyes were wide. Yang was just frowning.
"Damn." Yang sighed. "Just...daaaaamn. I think I haven't had the urge to horribly maul a fictional character so badly ever since I met Kyubey."
"...I can just SMELL the horrible beating she's going to get when we inevitably catch up to her..." Blake muttered. "Seriously, dammit, Nadia."
"On the plus side, I do enjoy the mythological references." Weiss mused. "Very interesting.
I guess her name makes sense now."
"Welp. Here comes an entire arc about Mina getting her memories back..." Yang noted. "This ought to be nice and angsty..."
...
"All say it with me!" Yang cried to her teammates. "D'aaaawwww..."
"Man...I forgot Mina couldn't actually see me..." Blake sniffled. "...that's just...I have to cry manly tears! Or rather...the one manly tear. I can't be seen breaking up in to tears! That would be unmanly!"
"At least all's well that ends well." Ruby said, smiling.
Weiss sighed, shrugging. "Yeah, I suppose. And now that we finished this fic for the time being, review?"
"You bet." Blake nodded.
From: NightshadeNinjacat of Giha
Thank you thank you THANK YOU for this awesome fic about me. I loved Mina like my story self did; really, I wish I could actually meet her. I think she's one of the only OCs in this section I like, and as I've fought a LOT of crappy ones, I should know about those things.
-Blake B.
P.S: Make me more manly dammit
Ruby kicked back on her beanbag, sighing contentedly. "Well...not much to do now, huh?"
Yang lay her head back on her hands. "Yep."
"Definitely." Blake said, favouriting and following the fic.
"Nothing at all." Weiss mused.
Barely a minute passed before Yang sighed loudly.
"THE LACK OF ANTICS IS BORING ME!"
