"She left another book out." Weiss looked over at the book like a dog staring at a bone. Blake must've left it out by accident yesterday after I'd walked in on her. Her page was bookmarked, and everything. I was really tempted to see what the story was myself, but Blake and I had gotten pretty close in the past week. I really didn't want to betray her trust after sharing such a fun night together. It was pretty uncool, and this stupid little smut novel just wasn't worth it.
"Weiss… come on, just leave it alone… We should probably study or something..." I tried my best to get her mind off of it. To just distract her with anything else so she wouldn't try to reach for the book. She obviously had other ideas.
"Leave it? We could at least finish the chapter we were on-"
"Yes, Weiss. Leave it." It takes a lot for me to want to try to put my foot down, and even more for me to actually be serious about it. I normally just go with the flow and just let people do their own things, ya know? But I was here and if I let Weiss do this to Blake again… if I just sat around and did nothing while she betrayed Blake's trust again… I just couldn't let her do that, even if it was something I somewhat wanted to do myself. Especially because it was something I kinda wanted to do myself.
"Fine…" Weiss looked away in a huff, as if I'd denied her some basic right. I mean… I guess finishing the book really wasn't all that bad. But it wasn't just the book. It was Blake. It was Blake's book and Blake's feelings and Blake's trust that would be broken, and I couldn't let Weiss do that to her. She reached into her bag and entertained herself with filing her nails instead.
"Self control, Yang."
