On the day before Valentine's Day, Blake was humming to herself contentedly as she readied herself for bed. She and Pyrrha had a plan of action now, one which should ensure an enjoyable day for all three of them.

It's interesting how even mentally I've simply accepted us as being a threesome.

She wasn't sure when it happened, but soon enough after Blake and Pyrrha had regained their friendship she'd been unable to think of Ruby without the tall redhead being involved. And, curiouser yet, she found herself not really minding at all.

She paused in the brushing of her hair, a small grin on her face. I actively look forward to seeing Pyrrha each day.

"Blaaakeeeyyy…"

The Faunus girl rolled her eyes, though she couldn't hide her amusement. "Yes, little rose?" she prompted. A glance over her shoulder confirmed that Ruby was on her bunk bed, head hanging over the side as she peered at where Blake stood at her dresser.

"So, no hints at all?"

"No, sorry. That would spoil the surprise."

"Is it a carnival?"

"No. And stop trying to guess."

"Okay… Oh! What about a horse ride?"

Blake turned to her girlfriend in confusion. "You want to ride a horse?"

"Well, I've never tried it before… So, yeah! Why not?"

She chuckled to herself softly and resumed her brushing. "No, it's not a horse ride. I'm not saying anything else about it."

"Ugh, fine," the brunette said with a dramatic sigh. After a moment, she spoke up once more.

"Hey."

Blake placed her brush down and strolled over to Ruby's bed where she was now rolled over and looking at her upside-down.

"You know," Ruby continued, "no matter what we do tomorrow is gonna be awesome, just 'cause the two of you will be with me. Right?"

"I know," Blake replied softly. She leaned forward and placed a gentle kiss on Ruby's cheek. "Get some sleep, we have a big day tomorrow after class."

"Okay, Blakey! 'Night!"

She'd just pulled her sheets back when a knock came at the door. Blake furrowed her brow as she stepped over. Did Weiss or Yang forget their scroll?

On the other side, however, was a very nervous-looking Pyrrha, also in her sleepwear.

"O- Oh, hello Blake!" she said with forced cheerfulness. "I was, er… I was wondering if I might have a word with you? Outside?"

Blake blinked her eyes. "Outside… in our pajamas?"

"Oh!" Pyrrha chuckled. "No, I mean… Well, perhaps up on the roof? It is a nice evening, and I just needed… Er, I wished to speak with you. In private. About something. Privately."

"Of course, Pyrrha," she replied with an encouraging smile.

"Wait!"

She stumbled backwards slightly as Ruby sped past her to collide with Pyrrha, wrapping her up into another tight hug. "One more bedtime hug!"

Pyrrha laughed and returned the embrace, though her face was blushing brightly, peaking Blake's curiosity further. Of course, she was the happy recipient of yet another hug from Ruby as well before they could take their leave.

Once up on the roof, Blake leaned back against the wall and looked out across the darkness, marvelling at the stars she could see over the lights of Beacon.

It really is quite nice up here. I should come more often at night.

The bow covering her ears, which she'd not yet taken off for the evening, twitched in tune with Pyrrha's pacing in front of her.

Blake sighed softly. I suppose I should try and ease this out of her so that we might get some sleep tonight…

"What's on your mind, Pyrrha?" she asked gently.

Pyrrha stopped her pacing and walked over towards Blake, dropping to the ground and leaning up against the same wall. Blake obligingly sank down as well, placing a comforting hand over hers that she had placed on the ground in between them.

"You know you can talk to me," Blake murmured.

"I know, I do, truly. This is just… somewhat embarrassing."

"Mmm," the Faunus replied. "Perhaps… it might be easiest to just dive right in, then? I won't judge."

"I know you wouldn't," the redhead whispered. "You… I trust you, Blake, more than anyone outside of Ruby or my team." She gave a little laugh. "In fact, I do believe I might even trust you over my own teammates, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you first."

"I'm… incredibly honored. And, if it helps… I feel the same way, really.

Pyrrha nodded and pulled her loose hair over her shoulder, running her free hand through it absentmindedly.

"I've been… thinking… about, er…" Pyrrha put her head back and closed her eyes. "I want to kiss Ruby."

"Oh."

"But… I've never kissed anyone before."

"I… see."

"And furthermore, our relationship muddies the waters somewhat," the redhead finally let out in a rush.

Blake looked at her uncertainly before understanding dawned upon her. "Ohhh… Alright, I can at least ease some of your concern here."

Pyrrha opened her eyes and peered at her, emerald eyes shining in the dim light. "You can?"

The Faunus gave her a firm nod. "Since you were the one to ask Ruby out first, I think it would only be appropriate for you to kiss her first. But…"

"But?"

"I'd like to be there… so that I could, um… kiss her next." She knew she was blushing brightly enough for even non-Faunus eyes to make out, but that didn't matter to her around Pyrrha.

Truthfully, it'd been on her mind for some time now, but she hadn't been sure how to broach the subject with either Pyrrha or Ruby. She was just glad her redheaded friend was able to come to her first. I suppose she's always had more courage than me, she thought to herself ruefully.

"Well… Valentine's Day would be a wonderful opportunity," Pyrrha whispered.

"Indeed. How about… at the end of the evening?"

"Oh, yes, that would be perfect…"

There was clearly still something on Pyrrha's mind however. Blake had become aware enough of her friend's nonverbals to tell when she was reluctant to proceed further in a conversation, but rather than back off and leave it alone, she decided this time she needed some more coaxing.

"So, what else is on your mind?" she prompted. "You know you won't be able to sleep if you don't talk about it."

Pyrrha smiled softly. "You do know me so well… I just…" Her face fell and she let out another sigh. "I'm somewhat… nervous."

"About kissing Ruby?"

The redhead nodded rapidly. "I know you've kissed before…"

"A bit more than kissed," the Faunus murmured under her breath. Evidently she needed to work more on how to make things inaudible to humans, because it wasn't quiet enough to pass under Pyrrha's notice.

"Truly? I… had no idea."

Blake sighed as she gazed off into the distance. "Yes. His name was Adam. He was… in the White Fang with me."

"I see. You sound… pained, talking about him." Pyrrha turned her hand over where Blake's was still resting on it and clasped their fingers together, giving her a gentle squeeze. "You don't have to discuss it if you don't want to."

"I'd rather not go into the details… But he was my mentor, older and more, well, worldly than I. And I fell for his charms. When I left the White Fang, I left him, but the way I had to do it…" Blake let out a regretful sigh. "He wouldn't have let me leave. So I ran away."

"Did he… hurt you?"

"Not in so many words, no. Just little things that eventually broke my heart." She glanced over at Pyrrha with a smile. "Believe me, what we have together is worlds above and beyond anything he and I once had."

Pyrrha nodded as she chewed on her bottom lip hesitantly. "Do you… think you could, er… give me some pointers?"

"For what, precisely?" she asked amusedly, her eyebrow quirked.

"Oh, no, nothing like that!" Pyrrha quickly backpedaled, waving her free hand in front of her face hurriedly. "I just meant, er… kissing. Seeing as how I'm the only completely inexperienced one out of the three of us."

Blake giggled, having decided to let her off the hook easily enough, and gave her an affectionate bump with her shoulder. "Very well, let me see... "

She spent the next several minutes trying to explain the intricacies of kissing to someone who'd never experienced it before. A simple enough task in her own head, but for some reason still could not assuage Pyrrha's nervousness.

Finally the redhead just shook her head in frustration. "It's alright, Blake, I appreciate the effort." She let out a despondent sigh as she gazed down at her lap. "I suppose I will just, er… 'wing' it."

Blake looked over at the redhead, the person that she shared her girlfriend with, and a rather absurd idea began to form in her head.

This would be a bad idea.

Or maybe not.

Wouldn't it?

"Pyrrha," she began hesitantly. "Do you want to… er…"

"Do I want to what, Blake?"

The Faunus girl screwed her eyes shut. I cannot believe I'm about to suggest this.

"Would you like to practice?" she finally whispered.

"Oh…" Pyrrha breathed. "That is… I…"

"No, it's okay," Blake shook her head, not opening her eyes. "It was a silly idea, I just thought…"

"I would like to, yes."

She whipped her head around to gaze at the girl sitting next to her. Pyrrha's face was brightly flushed as she stared down at their interlocked fingers.

"O- Okay, then…"

She tentatively reached over with her other hand and gently cupped Pyrrha's cheek, turning her face towards her. The redhead's emerald eyes were dancing nervously around, taking in Blake's face as she inched closer. Then Pyrrha leaned in as well, eyes finally fluttering shut and…

Gods, her lips felt incredible.

Blake lost herself in the kiss, pouring more of her emotions into it than she'd intended to, but she could tell Pyrrha was doing the same. It wasn't too long before she'd crawled halfway into the taller girl's lap, releasing the other hand so that she could wrap an arm around her and pull her in close. The dance of their tongues together was electrifying, and Pyrrha had both of her own strong arms wrapped around her, holding her in against her body like she was molded to her.

Eventually, though, they had to pull apart for air.

The two girls stared at each other, panting, their swollen lips parted and eyes searching each other's. Finally Pyrrha gave herself a small shake and blinked her eyes rapidly, moving back enough to break the spell.

"Well… that was… quite lovely…" the redhead murmured as she looked away, her cheeks bright.

"Um, y- yes, I- I agree," Blake stammered as she crawled off of her lap. Oh my Oum what was I doing to her? That was supposed to just be a simple kiss, not a ravaging!

"Yes, well... " Pyrrha got to her feet quickly. "I… That is… Thank you, Blake. I'll, um… see you tomorrow, then?"

"Right," Blake replied softly, her glowing amber eyes staring blankly out into the darkness. "Good night, Pyrrha."

"Good night, Blake."

The Cat Faunus girl sat up on the rooftop alone for some time, occasionally bringing up a hand to touch her lips in wonder.

That was… amazing...

A/N: YESSSS THE FANSERVICE CRACK SHIP IS SETTING FULL SAIL WOOHOO!

Hah. Took me long enough to get to this point, eh? Anyone else thought that it would be Ruby getting the first kiss of the threesome? So, now that Pyrrha has plenty of, ahem, 'practice', we get to dive into the Valentine's Day activities next chapter! W00t!

Now, I've obviously made an assumption here that some may not agree with, the fact that while Pyrrha has never kissed, Ruby has. And no, I'm not delving into the specifics. Just pick your favorite Ruby ship that isn't Ladybug or Milk & Cereal (or Enabler, stop that), and let your imagination go wild for a few seconds. Go ahead, I'll wait for you.

We good? Excellent. So then, that's what happened. Now wipe that drool off your face. (Or maybe that's just me, then. Darn White Rose stories I keep obsessing over...)

So, this little slice of relationship crack, only a week old, has garnered 11k hits and 143 followers as of this morning. Holy hairy Grimm balls. I love all of you magnificent people.

NobleMETA: Heya Noble! Yep, as I mentioned in the PM, these are mostly short little clips interspersed with longer ones. I try to space things out but keep them short enough for a quick read. Thanks for the kind words!

Commando2341: Plot? There be no plot here, other than that within the crack ship that is Purruby. We scoff at the idea of a plot. Nothing but pure, unadulterated relationship crack, broken down into bite-sized pieces for your enjoyment.

THB4: I think Pyrrha might be just as susceptible to Ruby's cuteness as Blake is. Fortunately she only uses it for good and not evil. Well, so far at least. I actually do plan on dealing with Ruby's apparent confidence with her girlfriends, a little bit next chapter and in more detail in a future one. And I do like the idea of different holidays together, we'll just see how long this little crack ship decides to sail…

Boarador: Hahaha oh man, a street violin playing our hearts will go on, I should have thought of that. Too late to make changes now though, I like the way it is now but I'll keep the violinist in mind, lol.

guest21: Heh, no worries, I'm always happy to get reviews but by no means feel obligated to leave them! I have a feeling my updates will be slowing down as I'm getting close to losing my buffer. Mulling that over in my head now, but at least there's only one per day over the weekend. Also, I love the idea of truth or dare. I'm gonna have to throw that in a later chapter.

Stay shiny!
