Chapter Text
A week had past and Yang had spent all of it planning what she was going to do with Blake on their ‘date’. As far as Yang knew, Blake hadn't caught onto the plan per say, but she had become more worried about Yang in that week as her nightmares seemed to get worse.
Whenever Blake asked, Yang would just tell her that it was just the usual, but that wasn't the entire truth. While Adam did appear in her dreams, it was only when Blake would leave Yang for wanting to date her.
“I can't believe you would even ask that, I'm leaving Yang, don't look for me.” Yang would hear those words every night and be plagued by the results every morning.
When the day finally arrived, Yang's insomnia was really starting to wear on the brawler.
“Yang are you sure you want to go out today? You look like you're ready to fall over.” Blake asked, watching as the blonde made her way around the kitchen.
“Don't worry Blakey, I'm as good as ever.” Yang replied back as she cooked, the bags under her eyes saying otherwise.
“Alright then.” Blake shrugged, leaning against the doorway into the kitchen. “So, Where are we going today?”
“Thats a surprise.” Yang winked over her shoulder, knowing that Blake was not a fan of surprises.
“One of these days you're going to tell me why you love surprises so much.” Blake grumbled.
“And one day, I'll get you to like surprises.” Yang replied, plating their bacon and eggs. “now sit down and enjoy.”
By the time the girls had cleaned up, showered and gotten ready, it was close to midday.
Yang had packed a few secrets into Bumblebees side boxes before she would let Blake enter the garage.
Do we really need to ride your death machine?” Blake asked, eyeing the bike known as Bumblebee.
“My baby is not a deathtrap.” Yang replied, hopping on and turning the key in the ignition.
Blake just sighed before hopping on behind Yang and wrapping her arms around Yang's waist.
“Now then, let this day begin.” Yang called over the roar of bumblebees engine before taking off towards the main town, thankful that Blake couldn't see the light blush dusting the brawlers cheeks as Blake held on tighter.
The first thing Blake saw when she finally opened her eyes was a small park. Considering this was Yang, she expected something more energy packed.
“You can let go now Blakey.” Yang teased, knowing that the comment would cause Blake to blush.
As soon as she realised, Blake let go of Yang and quickly dismounted the bike, with Yang not far behind.
“A park?” Blake asked, looking around to see if she missed something.
“There's a little bit more to it Blakey.” Yang replied as she pulled a wicker basket and a blanket out of bumblebee’s side compartment. “And now, we go this way.”
Blake just stared at her partner for a few seconds, before running after her to catch up.
The first surprise of their walk was that Yang was leading Blake off the beaten path and towards the forest
“Yang, should we be worried about Grimm?” Blake asked, searching for the black hides of people's worst nightmares.
“Relax Kittycat, you have to go really far out to find Grimm on Patch.” Yang reassured, continuing to walk without a care in the world.
When they finally stopped, Blake was nearly floored by the spectacle in front of her.
The area in front of the pair was a clearing filled with many different kinds of flowers, from daisies to sunflowers, that filled the entirety of the clearing until it reaches the shade of a large oak tree in the centre.
“Beautiful right? Ruby and I found this one day when we snuck away from the park while Uncle Qrow wasn't looking.” Yang reminisced, glad to see the sunflowers were still around.
“It sounds like you two kept your uncle busy.” Blake replied, her eyes still fixed to the clearing in front of her.
“Yeah, he use to say we were going to send him grey early.” Yang joked before grabbing Blake's hand and leading her through the field.
Once they had reached the oak tree, Yang laid out the blanket and sat down next to the wicker basket.
“You can sit down now.” Yang teased, looking up at the awe struck Cat Faunus.
“Sorry.”Blake blushed, snapping her eyes away from the flowers and quickly dropping to the ground.
“Don’t worry, I know it's a beautiful sight, but you have a better sight sitting in front of you with something you'll love.” Yang smiled, realising what she had said as she reached into the wicker basket. “Hopefully she thinks it's just my normal flirting.”
“And what would that be?” Blake asked.
“Tuna sandwiches.” Yang smirked as she watched Blake's mouth water.
“You know me too well.”
“True, but i'm proud of that fact.” Yang replied before the pair fell into a comfortable silence as they ate their lunch.
Having spent a couple hours enjoying all the different flowers, Blake and Yang made their way back to the park.
“Wanna see something cool?” Yang asked as they reached the edge of the park.
Blake just shrugged before once again being dragged off somewhere by the blonde. When they stopped, the pair were standing in front a small playground.
Blake followed Yang to the underside of the slide where in small writing was the words ‘R & Y best sisters forever.’
Ruby and I carved it when I was eight.” Yang said, running her hand over the writing.
“I'm guessing you got the knife from your uncle to actually do this.” Blake sighed, smiling at the fact her partner hadn't changed much since she was a little girl.
“It's amazing what he has in his pockets.” Yang replied before starting to walk back to her bike. “We better get going, still got a few things left to do.”
The pairs next stop was the main street of Patch. Yang parked her bike in front of a small theatre before the pair hopped off bumblebee, this time without Blake not letting go of Yang.
So how's the new spruce Willis movie sound?” Yang asked as she walked through the main door.
“Sounds good, Large popcorn and coke?” Blake inquired while Yang squealed.
“Aww you do remember.” Yang cooed while Blake rolled her eyes and walked off to the concession stand.
‘Everything seems to be going well so far.’ Yang thought as she walked up to the front desk and bought the pairs tickets.
The bookworm and the brawler met back up in the middle of the foyer, both with their need items.
“Ready to see and explosion extraordinaire?” Yang asked, beaming her award winning smile.
“It's probably going to be as bad as the last one.” Blake replied. It hadn't stopped her from seeing the last five of them though.
“Probably, but that's why we watch them.” Yang said, grabbing a handful of popcorn and ran towards the cinema with Blake on her heels.
”That has to be some of the worst acting i've seen.” Yang laughed as the pair left the theatre.
“They really need to stop making these movies, they've just gotten worse as they went.” Blake replied, smiling along with her partner as they made their way back to the bike.
“You can't hit me with your puny bullets.” Yang said as she impersonated the main hero before both girls broke into laughter.
So, ready for what's next?”
So far everything seemed to be going well for Yang as the pair approached their final destination.
Not far from her house was a hill with a clear view of the night sky, something Yang figured would be pretty romantic.
The pair pulled up at the base of the hill, removed and locked their helmets away and started making their way up the hill.
“Had a fun day today?” Yang asked as they approached the top.
“It's been eventual.” Blake replied, causing Yang to stop and look at her nervously.
“You haven't had fun?” Yang asked worriedly
“I didn't say that.” Blake shrugged, continuing up the hill and missing Yang's sigh of relief.
Once Yang caught up to Blake at the top, she watched as Blake just seemed enraptured with the night sky.
“It's beautiful.” Blake said in awe, her golden eyes scanning the night sky.
“I thought you'd like the view.” Yang smiled, finally breaking Blake from the night sky. “Its one of the nice things about living away from the main town.”
As Blake returned her attention to the stars above, Yang laid out a blanket and pulled Blake down with her.
Not expecting to be pulled down, Blake ungracefully landed on her back, squeaking in surprise as Yang laughed. “I thought cats always landed on their feet Blakey.”
Blake just glared at Yang once she was sitting properly before returning to the stars. “I'm not a cat Yang.”
“That's true, you sounded more like a mouse with that squeak.” Yang laughed while Blake slapped her arm. The brawler knew Blake wasn't actually annoyed by the joke, she'd known her long enough to know that.
“Can I ask you something?” Blake inquired, turning her head to face Yang.
Of course Blakey.” Yang smiled, unable to see the worry on Blake's face.
“What was the point of today?” Blake asked, watching as the normally confident brawler became a nervous wreck.
“W-What do you mean?” Yang stuttered, laughing awkwardly after.
“I mean all of this, showing me where you use to play with Ruby, the picnic and the movie, bringing me here, there has to be a reason.” Blake stated, sitting up and turning to face Yang.
The blonde sat up and turned towards Blake, her expression only visible to Blake thanks to her heightened sight.
Only the ambient sounds of the night could be heard for about five minutes while Yang seemed to try make a decision. It wasn't until Blake placed her hand on Yang's knee that the brawler seemed to break out of her thoughts.
“I love you Blake.” Yang said, breathing out after saying it.
Blake was shellshocked, she had originally thought that Yang was setting this up as a goodbye but instead dropped something like this.
“The point of today was to see if you felt the same as I do about you, and even now I don't know if I should be telling you this.” Yang continued as tears started to flow.
Seeing the girl she had loved from a distance for far too long cry broke Blake out of her stupor, and the normally calm and collected girl did the first thing she could think of. She leaned over and kissed the blonde.
Yang didn't know how to respond at first, the kiss was like an explosion that stopped all of her thoughts. It wasn't until Blake moved away from Yang that her mind started catching up.
“I have waited a long time to do that.” Blake spoke, her cheeks flushed.
“You mean?” Yang asked finally grasping what happened.
“Yes Yang, I love you too.”
Blake didn't have a chance to brace herself before Yang tackled her in a hug, laughing in between peppering the Faunus with kisses.
“I love you, I love you, I love you.” Yang repeated before crashing her lips with Blakes.
This time it felt even more intense as both girls were fully aware of what was happening. For Yang, it was like a million tiny fireworks went off in her brain and for Blake, it felt like a piece of herself finally clicked and she felt whole and safe with the brawler.
“So…” Yang smiled, hovering over Blake.
“So.” Blake replied as both girls caught their breath.
“Does this mean we're official?” Yang asked, her eyes shining with hope.
“I would hope so.” Blake replied, her usual smirk on her face.”
Yang squealed in happiness before jumping to her feet, quickly picked Blake up bridal style, carried her back to the blanket and sat down with Blake in her lap.
The new couple sat in silence, enjoying each other's company as Yang hugged Blake around the waist and Blake laid her head against Yangs.
It wasn't until Yang's head started to droop that their peaceful silence was broken.
“Blakey, not that i'm not really happy, but could we head home, I'm very sleepy.” Yang yawned, smiling at her new girlfriend as her eyelids drooped.
“Sure Yang.” Blake smiled back, helping the blonde brawler start their trek home.
Tai could hear the girls as they made their approach, meeting the pair at the door.
“Her insomnia finally caught up with her huh?” Tai asked, watching Blake make the final few steps to the front door.
“Seems so.” Blake replied, hefting the asleep blonde the final distance from the bike, before Tai effortlessly picked his daughter up.
“You seem to be in a good mood.” Tai teased, already assuming things went well from Blake's blush at the statement.
“I-It was a nice night.” Blake stuttered, knowing Tai had caught on the moment she started blushing.
She asked you didn't she.” Taiyang said as more of a statement than anything else.
“She did.”
“And i'm guessing you said yes.” Tai replied with a shit eating, all knowing grin.
“I did.” Blake said, not liking how his face was taking on the same expression his daughter's did when she was planning to tease her.
To Blake's surprise however, Taiyang didn't say anything, he just turned around and started walking towards the stairs, leaving Blake completely dumbfounded.
“You coming?” Tai called when he was upstairs and Blake was still outside.
Blake shook herself out of her stupor and followed the father-daughter combo upstairs, catching up to Tai as he entered the room.
“Just promise you'll take care of her for me, she really loves you.” Tai said, staring down at his sleeping daughter.
“I will, I promise.” Blake responded, the final words being spoken between the pair before Tai left the girls to sleep.
