Was listening to Panic! At the Disco's "Girls/Girls/Boys". Also, little warning, this one won't be as fluffy as the usual and I'm attacking a subject that I do not know entirely.

With a subtle mix of disgust and hatred blocking her throat, Raven entered the church as she did every Sunday. She was still shocked by what she had seen, and she had to warn her best friend, Kali Belladonna of it. Taking place on the church benches, she patiently waited for the first prayer to be said, before striking up a conversation.

"Kali? Could I speak to you after mass?"

"Of course! You seem worried, is there something wrong?" Kali replied, concerned

"Yes, and that's why I want to speak to you."

Kali had to content herself with that short explanation, since the prayers started again. About an hour and a half later, when every worshipper started to head home, the two friends stopped under the church porch. For a second, Raven thought about trying to spare Kali's feeling, before opting on a more violent and direct option.

"Your daughter is covering herself in sins." She said, her disgust fully renewed, though her anger had been replaced with sympathy for her cat-eared friend

"How can you say such things?" Kali protested. "I know she isn't the most diligent of believers, but to say that she sins…"

"I wouldn't accuse her if I didn't have proofs," Raven said, kindly pacing a hand on Kali's shoulder. "I saw her yesterday in the park. She was kissing a girl, Kali." Ignoring the look of shame and disgust on her friend's face, she pursued. "It's not your fault, you've done as much as you could, and I'm not here to accuse you. In fact, I understand exactly what you're feeling."

A second of silence passed, as Raven clenched her teeth to avoid puking at the mere thought of what she was going to say.

"The girl she was kissing was my daughter, Yang."

She shared an understanding and sympathetic look with the Faunus, before both started heading home while planning a way to get their children's out of sins.

Yang and Blake were walking in the park side by side, as they used to do every Sunday morning. It was one of the rare moments of all the town's bigots were cooped up in churches, one of the rare moments they could enjoy the bliss of being together in open air. They were making small talk, hand in hands, admiring the view and – in Yang's case at least – the other one. Smiling, the blondie couldn't help but tenderly replace a strand of loose hair behind Blake's ears, soon finding herself closing up the distance between them for a slight kiss.

A kiss that she would have deepened, if only she hadn't been interrupted so sharply by a voice that she knew all too well, a voice that automatically turned her eyes a crimson red.

"You should be ashamed of yourself!" Raven said, getting out of the bushes from where she was hiding

Defensively placing herself in front of Blake – in case her 'mother' lose her marbles again – Yang raised her chin in defiance.

"Fuck off." She simply said, knowing that the vulgarity would chase her away as would holy water do on a vampire.

"I can't believe that you've become such a sinner. Let me guess, your incompetent of a father didn't say anything?" Raven pursued, her words crawling like venomous snakes

"I said fuck off. And if I remember correctly, Mom and Dad said you the same when you came crashing into our lives to claim me back." Yang added, moving slowly to keep herself between Raven and Blake.

She was playing a dangerous game, upsetting Raven like that, but she was determined to keep her out of her life as much as possible. And that meant saying her to fuck off as many times as needed for her to understand it.

What she wasn't expecting though, was the frail, almost broken voice that suddenly raised from the same bushes.

"Blake... I can't believe it… I didn't want to believe it…" Kali got out of the bushes, under Raven's infuriatingly proud smirk. "But it was true."

Yang suddenly felt caught in the crossfire, knowing that the situation had complexified immensely in a few seconds. Raven's insult would do little to no effect, she knew that she was just a bitch, and she had explained it to Blake. But Kali's intervention… it would shake Blake. Deeply. Blake who was actually biting her lower lip, tears and guilt easily readable in her eyes. Blatantly ignoring her biological mother, Yang turned to her girlfriend, realizing that both their relationship and Blake's wellbeing were at stake.

"Blake…" for a second, she had been tempted to call her sweetie as she was used to, but she decided otherwise at the last second. That wouldn't bring anything good. "Don't listen to them, there's no shame in being who you are…"

"She's a sinner!" Raven voice intruded, rapidly silenced by a furious glare

"You shut the fuck up. Last time I checked, you had no right over me or Blake, so you better get the hell out of here before I call the police for harassment." Yang's voice hadn't raised, which was a very bad sign. A sign that she was truly, deeply infuriated.

Wisely, Raven choose to keep quiet and started to walk away, still angry but not wanting to risk being imprisoned. First threat managed, now Yang had to confront a subtler – and more vicious – threat. Turning to Blake's mother, and as Raven got out of her thoughts and hopefully her life, she felt her eyes get back to a lavender tint.

"Miss Belladonna?" she sighed. "I'm sorry that you had to assist to that… Raven and I aren't exactly in good terms. And I'm sorry that we have hidden this from you, it only complicated everything."

Kali joined her hands without saying anything, visibly destabilized by Raven's departure and by Yang's sudden change in attitude. Meanwhile, Blake kept herself behind Yang, too ashamed to confront her mother's deceived looks.

"I know it's hard to question something that you've thought your entire life but… we're not hurting anyone. Why would it be sinful to love someone?" Yang added slowly, not wanting to antagonize her.

"But the Bible…" Kali hesitated

"The Bible never said anything about homosexuality. It said "Love one another" it never précised anything about gender"

No answer.

"Maybe we could talk about this, somewhere more comfortable?" Yang hazarded slowly. "We could organize a meeting, between my parents and you and your husband?" she tried once more

A minute of a silence so thick you could have cut through it with a knife passed, before Kali slowly acquiesced, and Yang started breathing again.

Deep inside, she knew that letting something as stupid as religion tear them apart was out of the question.

Late, late I'm always late! Starting to feel like Alice's white rabbit… Did I mention that I thought about writing a crossover between Alice in Wonderlands and RWBY? No? Then now it's done.

I am way to tired to write, look at that nonsense in my AN… Anyways, hope you enjoyed the fic and I'll see you tomorrow pals !

EDIT : Thanks to SomeRandoFromTX, for pointing out that I was very wrong about what Yang said on the Bible. I'm a profane, and I don't want to hurt anyone, I just left it that way because in this story Yang is almost as ignorant of the Bible's content as I am. And for next time, I'll know better than to write on a subject that I don't know well. Once again, sorry if I hurt or infuriated anyone, that wasn't the point at all.
