After she had closed and locked the door, Yang collapsed onto the hotel bed. She felt exhausted from all the stress that the past couple of days held. Closing her eyes, the blonde fell asleep almost immediately, despite the early hour. She was woken from her sleep by a knock on the door. Annoyed, she looked at the time. It had only been a few minutes since she had fallen asleep, the clock reading 5:45 PM. God damnit, I thought it told them to not disturb me. She thought to herself.

"What the hell do you want?" The blonde asked, as she threw open the door and opened her eyes halfway. She slammed the door shut as soon as she recognized who it was.

"I want to talk." Yelled Pyrrha, raising her voice so Yang could hear her.

"Like hell you do." She yelled back.

"I forgive you for what happened earlier. You obviously weren't yourself." The annoyance in her tone was clear as she tired of yelling back and forth. "Yang, open the door."

"How did you find me?" The brawler asked when she opened the hotel door. She motioned for Pyrrha to come in.

"I was out with my- With a friend for dinner." She stammered slightly, a tinge of red tinting her cheeks.

"So, where's Jaune now?" Yang teased, smiling despite herself.

"He's waiting outsi- Wait, how did you know it was Jaune?" Pyrrha looked mortified, her face bright red.

"Just a hunch." The blonde winked and began to laugh at the other girl's reaction. Pyrrha broke into a smile and giggled.

"So, about why I'm here." The warrior became serious again. "Do you know what happened today? I'm not mad. I've just never seen you like that."

"I'm not really sure." Yang let herself fall backwards onto her bed and stared at the ceiling. "I don't remember anything about it. I watched the video that Ozpin showed me. It was terrifying to see myself like that."

"It was definitely an experience I would not like to repeat." Yang pushed herself upright before she continued and looked Pyrrha in the eye.

"Pyrrha, I'm really sorry about what happened. I feel horrible thing. I'm going to ask Ozpin if I can take some time off from sparring for the moment. Thank god it was you who I fought and not someone like Jaune. No offense, but you are way better than him and he probably would have gotten hurt pretty bad."

"Yang, it's alright. I won't say I understand, because I don't, but getting hurt like that would have messed with anyone's head. Honestly, I think you're handling it really well." Yang smiled slightly at the compliment.

"Thanks Pyrrha. You're a great friend." The blonde said before nearly crushing the other girl in a bear hug.

"I'm glad you feel that way, but please let go." The redhead croaked out, crushed by the strong arms of the brawler.

"Sorry." She grinned, not feeling any remorse at all. A knock on the door caused both girls to turn towards the entrance.

"Looks like my friend arrived!" Pyrrha said excitedly as she jumped up from the side of the bed. "Yang, why don't you go and answer the door. No peeking." The girl's Cheshire smile worried Yang as she wondered who it could be.

Somewhat reluctantly she moved towards the door and flung it open, hoping to surprise whoever was on the other side as a small action of revenge. When the door was fully open, a blur of black flew into her and embraced her with even more strength than she had hugged Pyrrha.

"Blake, I can't breathe." She wheezed out.

"Sorry, I was just really worried." The Faunus stepped back and released the girl in front of her. She was distracted however, and that presented the perfect opportunity for payback.

"No! Not the ears!" She squirmed as Yang crushed her in return, but with the added effect of tickling her exposed ears with her left hand.

"I am so glad you got rid of that bow." She smells so nice. The brawler giggled and backed away.

"I thought you two might want to see each other and so I sent a message on my scroll." Yang blushed lightly as she was reminded that Blake and herself were not the only two people in the room.

"Thanks again Pyrrha. I don't want to be rude, but I would like to spend some time alone with Blake." The blonde's voice came out weaker than she intended.

"Of course." The redhead smiled and embraced Yang once more before walking out of the room. When she turned around to close the door, she gave Yang a wink which was enough to cause the blonde's face to flush.

"So, did you and Pyrrha work everything out?" The faunus' lips were slanted upward slightly, as if she had noticed their little exchange.

Being in such close proximity to Blake, Yang felt way more nervous than she had in a long time. Even with other people who she was attracted to she never felt nervous, always confident and sure of herself. With Blake it was different. She felt as if every single move she made was being analyzed. Every drop of sweat taken in by her perceptive golden orbs.

"Yang?"

"Sorry, I spaced out for a second. We worked everything out. Pyrrha was really understanding about what happened. I'm just glad it was her and not Jaune for instance. Who knows what could have happened before Glynda stopped me."

"I would say take a break for a little while. Avoid sparring until you feel up to it again." The way her ears twitch whenever they hear something is so adorable.

"Yeah, I'm planning on asking Ozpin if I can sit out for a while. I think he'll understand." Yang sat back down on the bed. "Well, I'm really tired. I think I'm going to go to sleep. I don't really feel up to talking to Ruby or Weiss yet so I'm just gonna crash here."

"Alright, I'll let you sleep. Come back tomorrow though, Ruby is worried." Disappointment crossed her face but Yang almost didn't notice since it was quickly hidden.

"Blake, wait." Are you seriously about to ask this? "Umm... Do you think you could stay here? To help keep the nightmares away?" Her heart felt as if it was pounding out of her chest and she was almost positive that the Faunus would notice with her acute sense of hearing.

"I would love to Yang." Blake broke into a smile and motioned for the blonde to move over to the other side of the bed.

Yang laid down and moved over in order to give the Faunus some room. The girl laid down beside her and immediately wrapped up the blonde in her arms and moved her head to rest on her chest. Yang was surprised to hear how fast the seemingly calm ninja's heart was beating. Quickly she slipped into sleep, comforted by the presence that was next to her and comforted by her friend's aroma.

Yang groaned as she opened her eyes. Her heart was racing and she was covered in sweat due to another nightmare. She vaguely recalled being forced to watch Ruby be killed, a nightmare that was nothing new to her. The hotel room was lit by the television that sat in front of the bed. Blake must have fallen asleep watching. Yang stumbled drowsily over to the bathroom and turned on the tap, splashing ice cold water on her face. She glanced at the clock in the bedroom which read 9:45. I really shouldn't go to sleep so early. Yang dried off her face and slipped back underneath the covers.

"Another nightmare?" The question startled her, as she had expected Blake to be asleep.

"Yeah. Did I wake you up?"

"Don't worry about it. I fell asleep like twenty minutes ago anyways." The faunus turned off the television then wrapped her arms around the brawler, pulling her closer.

"Hey, Blake? Thanks for doing this." Yang looked into the reflective eyes that looked right back.

"It's no big deal, anyone would do this kind of thing for their friend." Blake sounded flustered but it was difficult to tell in the dark. Fuck it. Yang thought as she leaned forward.

Their lips made contact, which elicited an exclamation of surprise from the faunus, yet she didn't turn away. Blake grabbed the back of the blonde's head, pushing her deeper into the kiss. Suddenly the faunus drew back, pushing the brawler away. Great job Yang. Now you've really done it.

"I'm sorry Blake. I wasn't thinking and… I thought you might have feelings for me and I kind of just went for it." Yang choked back tears while trying to keep her voice from cracking.

"Yang. I do care about you, but I want to make sure that you care about me. You're having a rough time right now and I don't want to take advantage of that." The blonde breathed a sigh of relief.

"These feelings aren't new Blake. I guess what pushed me to finally do something was what happened. We don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. No one does."

"Ok, I just want to make sure that you actually want this and it's not just because you feel like you need companionship."

"Alright. I'm going to go back to sleep."

"Yeah, me too. Don't try anything." Blake put her back to the blonde, who turned around as well.

"Hopefully I dream about you." Yang muttered to herself.

"Maybe then you won't wake me up in the middle of the night." Blake laughed when Yang pulled the covers over her head.

Sorry that this chapter was not up a little late. I've been having a hard time coming up with ideas and haven't really been inspired to write anything. But, I got the chapter done and hopefully you guys like it.
