I think we'd been dating about a month when I realized just how strong certain Faunus traits were.

"What is this?" We'd just finished the last of our homework for the day and she'd handed me a small, green perfume bottle. It was made of glass and looked really expensive.

"It's perfume. I thought you might like it." Blake couldn't really meet my eyes. She looked coy and nervous all at once.

"Aw! Thanks, babe! What's it smell like-"

"Don't! Don't spray it… on yourself." She quickly snatched the bottle back, holding it gingerly in her hands.

"Why not? You said it was perfume…" I didn't really understand what was going on.

"Yes, but… I don't want you to embarrass yourself. You… you're supposed to spray it on me."

"Blake? what are you giving me? Is this a prank or something? Ruby put you up to this?"

"I didn't put do anything!" Ruby stuck her tongue out at me from her bed. She was reading one of her new favorite books and I couldn't believe she'd actually heard me.

"Keep that in your mouth before I rip it off," I growled, playfully shaking a fist at her.

"Plbbbbbbbbbbbt!" She blew a raspberry at me and hid back behind her book before I could throw something at her.

Blake sighed softly before waving me closer to her. Our foreheads were touching and our lips were just close enough for a kiss before she finally spoke. "It's… catmint perfume."

"You mean like catnip?"

She nodded quickly.

"You know, that doesn't work on humans, right?"

"What?" She looked so shocked, I almost felt bad I'd burst her bubble. "You mean you don't… when you smell it?"

"Only one way to find out," I whispered quietly, uncapping the top.

"Yang, wait!"

I sprayed it on my neck, chest and wrists. It smelled herby, like burning mint or something. I watched her as her face quickly grew a thousand times more relaxed. Her cheeks grew red and a deep purr started in her chest. She crawled towards me, closing the short distance between us.

"Hehe, Blake! Blake quit it- hahaha!"

She pressed her face into my neck, wrapped her arms around me and didn't move, licking softly every few minutes. I smiled and gently scratched her behind her ears. The purring grew a bit louder as I did. We sat together like that for a really long time before I tried to get her off.

"Blake?"

"Mraawrrr."

I sighed softly, settling down on her bed. Her hands pressed softly into my back as she slowly rubbed her cheek against my chest.

At least it's relaxing.

"Aww. You two are so cute! This is going on BaseBook!" I glared at Ruby as she snapped the picture on her Scroll and silently promised myself I'd be a lot more interested in her first relationship.

Five hours later, she was still pressed against my neck, no sooner to letting go than she had been.

This is gonna be a long night.

I didn't mind it- I loved cuddling with Blake, but we had one problem…

I really had to pee.
