Blake thought she was starting to flutter back into consciousness, yet at the same time was unsure, as all she could see was blackness. Blake stopped worrying about her lack of vision when she started to feel a throbbing headache set in. This headache was worse than any pain Blake had experienced before; it was like someone had just taken a hammer to the back of her skull, and cracked it like it was an egg. The black haired girl reached for her eyes, expecting to feel her eyelids, but instead her fingers were met with the feeling of cloth. After noticing her head had been bandaged, she also noticed that she didn't feel the tightness of her usual school uniform, but instead felt much thinner, looser fitting clothing, which she assumed was the school's hospital gown.

"Blake, are you alright?" The blonde brawler had asked in a voice that was a blend of concerning, caring, and worried all at the same time.

"Yang, is that you?" Was all that the onyx haired girl could get out, before the inky blackness of unconsciousness claimed her again.

Yang looked at her friend with saddened eyes, knowing that this mess was entirely her fault. "Yeah, its me Blake. Just relax. Do you want me to get a nurse?" Yang asked, hoping to bring her friend some comfort. "Blake, are you ok?" After Yang didn't receive a response from her friend she did the only thing she could think of to do, and that was cry into the shoulder of Blake's bandaged body. "It's all my fault... why did I have to be such a giant idiot..." All that the blonde could do was cry, and hope that her friend would recover. She felt utterly useless. After nearly ten minutes of Yang's crying, her sobs were interrupted by the monotonous voice of Blake.

"Easy Yang, you're leaving tears all over my shoulder." Blake said with a soft spoken, raspy voice.

"Hey, how are you feeling? I can't say that I am sor-" Yang was interrupted by Blake raising her index finger to her mouth.

"I will not accept an apology, as it wasn't your fault." The faunus calmly stated. "Yang could you do me a favor, and get a doctor in here? My head is killing me." Blake requested whilst clutching her head in pain. Without a second thought Yang pulled back one of the three curtains that made up the black haired girl's room. With the absence of Yang's voice, Blake started taking notice to the sounds and smells around her, as she could not see. The noise of a steady beeping could be heard, which Blake assumed was the sound of her heart rate monitor. The sounds of people talking could also be faintly heard. Before Blake could conduct a more thorough survey of her surroundings, she was interrupted by the sound of her curtains being pulled back.

The voice of an old, but kind man could be heard. Blake presumed this to be her doctor. "Hello Ms. Belladonna, my name is Dr. Coalman. Ms. Xiao Long has informed me that you are experiencing severe head pain. On a scale of one to ten how much pain are you in?" The doctor inquired

"A nine, maybe nine and a half." Blake quickly gave him the information that he requested.

"Well that simply won't do at all, I am going to give you an aura booster, and something that will cause your pupils to shrink, this way the light doesn't cause you as much of a headache. I am going to give you the medicine through your IV." The doctor informed Blake. Within moments after the doctor gave Blake the medication, Blake felt the pain be lifted from her, and she felt her Aura flare up. "I am going to remove your bandages now, if that is alright with you." The faunus gave a simple nod to the doctor's request, and lifted her head up. Blake could feel layer by layer of the bandages loosening, and then collecting atop her shoulders. "Alright, that's all your bandages, you can open your eyes whenever you feel comfortable, but I will warn you, for the first couple of attempts you will find it very difficult to keep your eyes open." After giving his warning, The doctor left to tend to other patients.

Blake found the notion that she couldn't hold her eyes open ridiculous, so she tried to snap her eyes open with much success, but within a tenth of a second her eyes started to burn, and she was forced to close them. Blake tried again and again to open her eyes, each time being able to open them for slightly longer, but inevitably being forced to close them. After several attempts to pry her eyes open, Blake let her eyes close while she let out a frustrated sigh.

"Blake don't worry, just keep your eyes closed, no need to get worked up about it." Yang tried to calm her partner by running her hands through her silky black strands. "Just relax, there's no need to rush things. You got hit pretty hard, trust me I know." While Blake couldn't directly see it, she sensed Yang was internally cursing at herself.

"Don't beat yourself up Yang. In case you forgot, I volunteered to take the hit, and besides, I was ready for it. I built up my aura, and that took the brunt of it."

"I just feel bad, that's all. There must be something that I can do to make up for it, anything you think of, I'll do it."

Blake, after giving her eyes a few minutes of rest, tried once again to open her eyelids in order to reveal her amber orbs. This time she was successful in doing so. "Actually there is one thing that I can think of..." Blake's heart hammered in her chest, as she built up the courage to ask Yang her question. What Blake had forgotten about was that she was connected to a heart rate monitor.

"Blake are you alright! Your heart is going crazy, I am going to get a doctor!" Yang started to get up off of the faunus girl's hospital bed, but was stopped by Blake loosely grabbing onto her wrist.

"Yang I'm fine, the reason why my heart rate is so high, is because... because... I was working up the nerve to ask... Yang will you be my girlfriend?" Blake's amber orbs were now locked with Yang's lilac ones. The blonde brawler could feel her heart stop inside her chest, then beat faster than if she were to be fighting a million Grimm. Blake grew worried as Yang wasn't saying anything, this caused the raven haired girl's heart rate to climb even higher.

"Of course Blake!" Yang was finally able to get out as she had finished processing everything, Yang held both of her hands out with the palms facing up. Blake instinctively placed her hands in Yang's, both girls were getting closer to one another by the minute, locked within their own world. Yang closed her eyes as her lips were set on course for the faunus' soft lips. As the two partners, now girlfriend's, neared each other, their kiss was cut short by the sound of a curtain being pulled, revealing a doctor, and two nurses with defibrillators, and a crash cart at the ready. The entourage of medical staff were stunned at the sight they were witnessing. Everyone in Blake's room now had a shade of red on their face that rivaled Ruby's cloak.

"Sorry for interrupting..." Was all that the now clearly embarrassed doctor could get out. After giving his apologies, him and the nurses left the room, drawing the curtains with them as they left.

Yang turned her gaze away from the now closed curtain, and looked back to her girlfriend. Both of them were clearly embarrassed, and awkward silence filled the air. "Well... that was a thing." Was all the blonde could think to say to break the silence, fortunately it did the trick, and the now awkward silence was being replaced by the sound of giggling from the black and yellow couple of team RWBY.
