The sound of the crashing door was the only thing to fill Blake's ears followed the heavy silence as Blake sat down in anger on the edge of the bed she shared with Yang. She could feel the anger in her causing her cat ears to flatten against her head while she sat fuming her last conversation replaying itself in her mind. "Damn that girl! why do I put up with her!" she thought, her fury making itself known by refusing to let her sit forcing her to pace the room, though the sight of Yang's belongings in the room only refreshed her anger, blurry that they we through the tears in Blake's eyes "that blonde infuriates me so much! Why do I stay with her?!" Blake thought as she continued pacing until she heard the door open and saw the white hair of Weiss tentatively peaking in as the pale girl entered slowly to make sure she would not be the target of Blake' anger.

"Blake is it alright if I stay?" she asked her voice calm hoping to soothe the riled girl.

"Yes it's not you I am angry at" Blake said her anger finally abating enough that she could sit down as she dried her eyes, followed by a hesitant Weiss sitting next to her. They sat in silence neither wanting to broach the subject of Blake's anger, though eventually Weiss cautiously spoke up.

"You need to talk about it" was all she said not wanting to push too hard fearing that it would only serve to shut Blake down and because of her own apprehension due to the recent revelation.

"Talk about how Yang has no sense of responsibility and is one of the most aggravating people?" she asked rhetorically, her voice filled with contempt as she spoke of her girlfriend, too angry with Yang to notice Weiss' discomfort. Blake and Yang had gotten into a fight the end of which had left Yang reeling in the living room with a stunned Ruby and Weiss, while Blake had gone to her current location.

It had been such a simple thing, Yang had left a pile of her stuff in the room expecting Blake would clean it up for her. Normally Blake would grumble at Yang but would do it to be nice knowing Yang didn't do it on purpose, merely just putting it off till later. But this day she was already in a foul mood at the prospect of telling Ruby and Weiss of her Faunus heritage and so this had launched her into a rant about Yang's irresponsibility and what a lazy slob she was. Yang had tried to defuse the situation knowing her girlfriend was in a bad mood while Weiss and Ruby had shrunk in on themselves where they were sitting on the couch hoping to go unnoticed, unsure of what had caused the argument in the other couple when not but a short hour ago they had been deep in conversation when the red and white girls had returned. Yang had been patient with the foul Blake until the Faunus girl had made a comment about how Yang was a terrible sister to Ruby with how overprotective she was. This set Yang off, she could handle anything but being called a terrible sister and she started yelling right back at Blake calling her an antisocial girl who would rather spend her time with the dusty tomes she read than other people.

Yang in her anger overstepped and without realizing it shouted that the bow Blake wore served only to let her live a lie. Blake stopped in her tracks and stared at Yang who looked ashamed of what she had said, both knowing full well that with how loud they were yelling Ruby and Weiss had surely heard. As she tried to apologize the tears in Blake's eyes started leaking out and she stormed out leaving a guilt ridden Yang standing in the living room. Blake thought about this argument while sitting with Weiss.

"Blake she was wrong to say such a thing about your bow, but you are not guiltless either." Weiss started, though she paused as she saw the daggers shot at her before she steeled her resolve and continued, she was working hard to put her discomfort around Faunus aside after-all "you shouldn't have said such a thing about Yang's skills as a sister, you of anyone should know how hard she tries to keep Ruby safe and happy, she would do anything for her sister and you as well. and the entire start of the argument was baseless, you're allowed to have bad days but don't take them out on the girl who loves you" Weiss finished to a silent Blake, getting up Weiss left turning her head as she closed the door "Just think about what I've said and remember the reason you love Yang." This got Blake thinking "Why do I love her?" she wondered before she thought of one of the happiest days of her life, a day she had shared with Yang.

Meanwhile Yang had stayed in the living room staring at the door that Blake had left through, her face blank as she registered fully what had happened. "Oh god what have I done?" she thought one emotion breaking through her blank face, Sadness as she realized what she had said in anger. After she came to this realization she felt the tears well up in her eyes "Blake I'm sorry" was her one thought before the dam broke and the tears flowed freely down her face as she sat down on the couch and cradled her head in her hands simply allowing the tears to fall as sobs racked her body. Ruby and Weiss finally got up after having witnessed the argument, Ruby went and sat with Yang on the couch rubbing the crying blonde's back and speaking quietly to her to try and help soothe her. Ruby looked over at Weiss who not knowing what to do with herself after such a startling revelation she just stood near the door.

"I'll stay here with Yang, you go talk to Blake see how she's doing." Weiss merely nodded as she left, hearing the slam of a door giving away where the Faunus girl had fled too.

Blake was getting ready in her room, checking over her appearance in the mirror again. she was wearing a simple black dress, her hair was left to flow freely though she still had her bow on, and she had spent more time than normal on her makeup as tonight was a special night.

"Ding" the doorbell sounded throughout her apartment, making known that someone was at the door and Blake knew who it was "and speak of the devil she's here" making sure she was presentable she went and opened the front door to her apartment to reveal Yang who was also in a dress though her's had a slit up the side of the right leg and her normally wild hair had been temporarily tamed and was straight down her back. "She's beautiful" Blake thought her voice catching in her throat.

"You look beautiful" Yang said voicing the thought Blake had, making the raven-haired girl blush.

"Thank you, and so do you" she said regaining her composure though that pesky blush would not fade. Yang beamed at this compliment before holding her arm out for Blake to take

"Are you ready for the show gorgeous?" Blake did not answer and merely took Yang's arm following the smiling blonde to their transportation, her motorcycle that she affectionately named Bumblebee. "I can't believe this night is actually happening" Blake thought with a smile as she got on the back of Bumblebee putting on the helmet before wrapping her arms around Yang's waist enjoying how close she was to the other girl. They headed off to the theatre for a play, one of Blake's favorites Hamlet by Shakespeare. This was her first date with Yang and it had been Yang who had asked her out to the play, much to the surprise of Blake. She had been harboring feelings for Yang after having spent many days with her over the course of a few months since they had met but had done nothing on them, afraid of being rejected. So when Yang had asked if she would like to go on a date to the play she had been shocked that her feelings were reciprocated and she had not hesitated in saying yes.

Blake was snapped out of her thoughts as she felt the motorcycle stop in near the theater and getting off she stopped to watch Yang take off her helmet, admiring the way the girls long blonde hair reflected the light, seeming to dance like a fire.

"Enjoying the view?" Yang asked with a smirk that earned a nervous laugh from Blake. "Well let's get going" she said taking Blake's arm in her own and leading the girl into the theater. They took their seats, Yang had gotten seats in the dead center of the theatre house. As they sat waiting for the show to start Blake noticed how Yang was fidgeting but decided it was nothing

"Honestly Yang I was surprised when you asked me out" Blake confessed, immediatel earing Yang's undivided attention.

"Why is that?"

"Well I've had a crush on you but I didn't know you felt the same way"

"Well how could I not when you're as beautiful and smart as you are?" Yang quickly replied, stunning Blake with the compliment.

"That is so nice Yang, I don't know what to say"

"Well you could say thank you, unless there was another way you wanted to show your gratitude" Yang said with a wink, causing Blake to blush profusely but she was saved as the play started. The show was wonderful and Blake was loving it though she continued noticing Yang nodding off or fidgeting throughout the production and this made her fear that the blonde was hating her time there but she buried that fear. After it was over they walked in a happy silence back to Bumblebee and drove back to Blake's house.

"I had a wonderful time tonight Yang" Blake said as they stood in front of her apartment door.

"So did I" Yang said with a genuine smile

"Truth be told I thought you hated it." Blake confessed to a shocked Yang

"What would give you that idea?"

"Well you were nodding off and couldn't stop fidgeting the entire time."

"Blake I had a great time, yes the play didn't completely interest me but it doesn't matter I got to spend my night with you" Yang said with sincerity "And if you want we could…" the blonde was unusually lost for words though Blake didn't need to hear them, she leaned in and gave Yang a kiss which after the fact shocked both her and Yang, though the blonde had a huge smile plastered on her face.

"Goodnight Yang"

"Goodnight Beautiful" Yang replied with, that grin never leaving her face as she left and got back on Bumblebee and headed home where she spent the rest of the night thinking about how lucky she was. Blake did something similar, after changing into her nightgown Blake laid in her bed reliving that night and one thought kept popping into her head "I'm in love with Yang"

Blake sighed coming back to the present she looked around the room again this time with a clearer head and the sight of Yang's belongings this time filled her with guilt "I acted horrible to her" she thought shaking her head she stood up heading for the door slowly unsure of how Yang would treat her after how foul she had been before. Slowly she walked into the living room to see a sight that hurt her heart, Yang was sitting on the couch her head cradled in both of her hands covering her eyes and Blake could see the last remnants of a sob that shook her shoulders. Ruby was sitting next to Yang rubbing her back trying to soothe the distraught blonde.

"Oh god Ruby, she must hate me now" Yang cried "After what I said how could she still love me?"

"Shhh it's alright Yang she doesn't hate you" Ruby said reassuringly, neither had noticed the entrance of Blake.

"Ruby did you hear what I said? I'm no better than a bigot after I insulted her. That look of sadness in her eyes as she heard what I said, it was like a knife in my heart Rubes." Yang remained silent for a moment the sobs racking her body growing stronger. It was then that Ruby noticed Blake, the red-haired girl simply stared at Blake. Blake motioned for Ruby to give them some time alone, to which Ruby simply nodded before getting up.

"Yang I'm going to grab a bottle of water" she said as she left, passing Blake and whispering quiet enough for only those two to hear.

"Please help her"

Blake sat down next to Yang still unsure of what to say to the girl she loved, the girl she had hurt. Yang assumed that Ruby had returned to lost in her anguish to have noticed Blake's entrance moments ago.

"Ruby I love her, but now I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't want to see me. It was such a simple thing, why couldn't I just clean up after myself? This is my fault. You and Weiss weren't supposed to hear that the way you did. She was going to tell you, that's what we were talking about, how she planned to tell you two." Yang continued despairing until she heard the voice of the girl she was crying over speaking quietly next to her

"No Yang I don't hate you, I never will and I love you too." Yang brought her head out of her hands and looked up at Blake and the sight Blake saw broke her heart more. Yang's eyes were red and puffy from crying and her face had tracks to mark the path her tears had taken.

"Oh Blake I'm so sorry please forgive me what I said was horrible I'm so sorry…." Yang rushed out not stopping to pause between words until she was silenced by Blake putting a slender finger over her mouth.

"Yang neither of us was without fault, I shouldn't have exploded on you like I did over something so small and I shouldn't have questioned you as a sister to Ruby, you love her and would do anything for her. Let's accept that this happened and work past it." Blake said with small smile that brought one to Yang's face.

Yang broke the moment by wrapping her arms around Blake's neck pulling her closer letting Blake nestle her face in the crook of Yang's neck breathing in the scent of lily's that came from Yang's hair "I love this scent, and I love this girl" Blake thought. As Yang placed her head on top of Blake's while stroking her long black hair. She and Yang stayed like this for a long time, not speaking merely relishing in the presence of the other.

"I love you Yang" Blake said with a smile hidden from Yang the by girls' long blonde hair

"I love you too Blake" was Yang's response, a smile that Blake could not see on her face as she gave Blake a gentle squeeze. Both girls were happy, after several moments like this Blake pulled her face away just far enough for Yang to see her face.

"I guess we should go talk to Ruby and Weiss about this." She said, not looking forward to the upcoming conversation.

"Don't worry, I'll be right by your side" Yang said giving Blake a reassuring squeeze as they got up and went to Ruby's room to go talk to the other couple.
