I don't know if anyone has any interest in this but… how about I tell you which song inspired me during every chapter? Today's was written listening to Panic! At the Disco "Dying in LA". Hope you'll enjoy!


The night had fallen on Beacon pretty fast, as if a veil of stars had been delicately placed upon the sky. Truth be told, the schools' cliffs were probably the best place for stargazing, after the cold towers of a deserted Atlas of course. But Yang, even if she was indeed planning to gaze on the beautiful midnight sky, mostly wanted a peaceful, hidden place where she could think peacefully and maybe order up some of her thoughts. That's why she wasn't even considering the cliffs, preferring a quick jump from the library's balcony onto the rooftops. She wasn't exactly allowed to do so, seeing as the rooftops could get slippery and deadly, so she made sure to get out of anyone's possible view as fast as humanly possible by climbing, sliding and jumping to and from various structures. She had a goal in mind, a specific place: a flat part of the school surrounded by walls and roofs and completely hidden from the rest of the school. A place where the only direction you could stare at was the sky.

She slid down the last few meters separating her from her destination, and almost jumped when she saw a shadow moving almost right under her nose. Coal hair, amber eyes, cat ears and a mischievous though surprised smile… that could only be Blake, reading some of her smut out of Ruby's innocent sight.

"Hey, you found my reading hideout. What brought you here?" Blake said with a smile, visibly not annoyed in the slightest by the interruption.

"Your reading hideout? Funny, I thought I was the only one coming up here to have some peace… I workout here almost every morning." she said before sitting down, legs crossed

"I read here almost every night." Blake added before opening her book again, readying herself to resume her reading

"Hey Blake, I know it might sound silly but… Earlier, I saw Jaune and Pyrrha talking, and I started thinking…"

"You, thinking? That must have been a shock!" a small chuckle escaped the Beauty's lips

"I'm serious," Yang said, even if she couldn't help but smile at the intervention. "I was thinking about Love."

"Love?"

"Love… You know, seeing how those two are so obviously head over heels for each other and how they both fail to notice it… I started wondering how exactly you're supposed to know what Love is."

Blake was now staring at her, the book long forgotten on her knees. Saying nothing, she made an ever so slight movement, gesturing Yang to pursue.

"I couldn't get the thought out of my head… I started thinking that since there's probably as much ways of loving as there are stars in this sky, it's most unlikely that you'd know what true love is. Is it as bright and obvious as the sun? Cold and hard to access as this one?" she pointed toward the smallest prick of bluish light in the cerulean sky, before turning to Blake. "How are we supposed to know when we found it, if we can't even imagine what Love truly is?"

"Well… that's a truly good question," Blake started, turning her golden mind toward the celestial canopy. "I've asked it to myself a few times now, and I'm not even sure there is an answer. But I found something else while wondering." Her eyes trailed on the constellations, before coming back to stare in Yang's. "We don't care."

"We don't care?"

"We don't care." She emphasized with a smile. "Who cares about knowing if love is true or not? Like you said, there is as many ways of loving as there's stars in the sky… So, there's no point in searching the right one. There is no such thing as a right way, there's just… your way."

Staring in the shiny reflect of the moon in the golden universe that was her irises, Yang couldn't agree more. There was no right star, and as the storm of thoughts and worries slowly calmed in her mind, she knew one thing for sure. She had found her star, her very own Evening star. Deep in those eyes.


Thanks for reading, and truly thanks to the two reviewers. It's incredibly grateful when people you don't know say that they like your work, truly.

I had a little more trouble writing this one, since I basically put the challenge's theme around Love, but I think I made something quite good with it. Do not hesitate to review if you enjoy it !

See you tomorrow pals
