Can you guess which song it was today? Well, it was Jeff William's Gold of course!

It was a peaceful summer day in Beacon's backyard, one of those day when there was nothing to do except chill out in the sun and make small talk.

"Hey Blake, what's your favorite color?" Yang asked all the sudden, causing her partner to emerge from behind her book

"Why is that?" she said, quite intrigued

"Well I realized that it was a little bit dumb to assume one's favorite color based on what they wear… I mean, sure Ruby absolutely loves red but Weiss wears white like a family emblem. So, what's your favorite color?"

Blake smiled when she saw the genuine, child-like attention that yang posed on her and her answer.

"Well I wear black mostly for discretion… I guess my favorite color would be lilac."

"Any particular reason for that choice?"

"Not really…" she paused a second to think, before adding. "I just find it to be a warm, cheerful and sweet color. And what's yours?"

"Heh… It might be a little common and fancy, but I really like gold." Yang said, slowly passing a hand through her mane of blonde hair. "Amber's great too! It's rich, deep and somewhat mysterious." She gave Blake an enigmatic look, before settling back on staring at the sky.

A few more seconds of awkward silence passed, before Blake finally decided that she wouldn't get her answer as to what was that look and got back to her book. Today was not smut, as she had thought better than to bring her copy of Ninjas of Love out in the crowded daylight of Beacon's summer holidays. It took her a few seconds to actually start to read and not pretend to while taking sneak peaks at Yang, but she finally managed to get past the page she was stuck at for about 5 minutes. And that's the exact moment Yang chose to talk to her again. After hearing her name, she placed a finger to mark her page and closed her book, curious as to what had gone through the blondie's mind this time. She was answered by a small laugh, and she would have been even more worried to see that Yang was wringing her hands.

"I knew my lines weren't the greatest, but I never thought that the day would come that I wouldn't find any…" she said, nervously rubbing the side of her neck

"What?" Blake said, pretty sure she had misheard. Though the subtle touch of her ribbon on her Faunus heritage ensured her that she didn't.

"Okay, now it's becoming really embarrassing…" the blonde muttered, before adding at a more audible volume, "What I'm trying to say for nearly an hour now, is that I think you're someone truly amazing, and that I wondered if perhaps you'd agree on seeing if we could be a thing?"

For once, Blake was completely caught out of guard by this simple, honest and very much Yang-like way of asking her out. Of course, she had suspected for a while that something was wrong as she had noticed Yang looking at her more and more frequently… But such blatant, out on the open declaration was completely unexpected. Hopefully, despite the little shock she was struggling with right now, she already knew what her answer would be. She had just been too shy to ask the same question herself… When she was finally able to move again, she just smiled to Yang.

"Why not?" she said, seeming as cool as a cucumber while inside her mind it was war.

"You can't imagine how relieved I am," Yang said sighing. "I was scared it would make things awkward between us. How does tomorrow, 4 p.m. sounds?"

"Perfect."

The smile that then lit up Yang's face, a genuine, irrepressible smile, was truly worth gold.

"Also, Blake?"

"Yeah?"

"What I said about amber…" Blake nodded that she remembered. "I was thinking about your eyes."

The Faunus blushed fiercely, wondering how such simple world could flatter her like the most sophisticated poetry.

Simple, yet cute Bumbleby. In my opinion at least. What did you think of this one?

See you tomorrow !
