We talked for hours after we left Professor Wheat's office.
"Honestly, I'm a little nervous. What if it doesn't work out? We're still partners..."
"Blake, don't be all pessimistic now." Her concern was something I'd already considered. I figured it'd be best to just go with the flow.
"We'll cross that bridge if we ever have to get to it," I said. I really never wanted to get to that bridge though.
Blake and I walked through every tower on campus. We stopped by every fountain and walked up and down nearly every flight of steps.
"So have you ever-"
"Yang, please stop." Blake was blushing as she interrupted me. To be fair, it was a pretty personal question.
"Come on, Blakey. You can tell me." I nudged her playfully. I really wanted to know. Not in a 'I need to know because it affects our relationship' kind of way, but in a 'I'd like to know because it's something fun to talk about' kind of way. Her ears twitched as she clutched her books tighter against her chest. She sighed before finally mumbling under her breath.
"Once or twice… maybe more..." I hugged her tight when she finally answered, definitely not a reaction she'd been expecting.
"I'm glad I'm not the only one!" Her eyes widened in shock and embarrassment.
"What!"
"Oh, come on, Blake. I'm seventeen years old! Of course I've masturbated, who hasn't by our age? But it might've been a bit more than once or twice." I chuckled. I didn't mind talking about this with her. I didn't mind at all.
"You won't have to do that from now on," she grinned and nuzzled my neck, lips brushing the shell of my ear. I was locked in place, jaw open in shock as she walked ahead of me. I don't think I've ever blushed in my life, but I was positive I was doing it now.
"H-hey! Wait up!"
"Crap, I've gotta tell Ruby." Just thinking about that conversation felt terrifying. Hey, sis, nice sweater, by the way I'm dating our teammate, oops!
"You won't have to tell her alone." She wrapped one of her hands around mine, amber eyes burning wickedly intense.
"I… I'd like that," I nodded slowly.
It was long after dark and we were still circling campus.
"Blake, it's not a label you should care about!" I couldn't believe she'd even brought this up! It was such a ridiculous problem I didn't even want to talk about it.
"But it's still another label, Yang..."
"Blake, I don't mind. And I dare someone to try and do something to either of us." I wasn't afraid. The only people who were against same-sex couples were disgusting old people born generations ago, anyway. Their words meant nothing to me and our generation. Their ideologies and prejudices would die with them.
"It's not the actions that hurt the most, Yang." Blake looked down at the ground. Her bow twitched and I was reminded that same-sex couples might not be a problem in this day and age, but a Faunus dating a human… There'd be disgusting whispers and rumors about both of us...
"Blake. I don't care that you're a Faunus. I don't care that I'm probably bisexual. You're gorgeous. I'm gorgeous. Let's be gorgeous together. That's all there is to it." She hugged me tightly as we walked and I wrapped an arm around her waist. I guess that was all I needed to say.
Seven hours later we'd made it to our dorm just after curfew.
"Open the door, Rubbles! We need to get in!" I banged impatiently on the door. If Professor Goodwitch caught us out of our dorm at this time...
"No, go away! This is my room now."
Blake finally found her Scroll in her bag and swiped us inside.
"Prepare to meet your doom, Ruby Rose!" I growled loudly, pointing at my sister who was eating some tortilla chips.
"Yang, I met you forever ago," she rolled her eyes, throwing a chip at me.
"Silence, mortal! Prepare to taste oblivion," I continued, grabbing the chip before it hit me and crushing it in my fist.
"Yang, what on Remnant are you going on about," Weiss asked. She stuck her head from out of the bathroom, clearly she'd been doing something important in there.
"Your doom!"
I looked back in shock. I think we all looked in shock.
"Blake... did you just introduce Weiss to her doom?"
Oh, this is gonna be great.
