Yang opened her eyes slowly as moved around the softly lit room. Directly in front of her was a mess of black hair with two adorable cat ears on top. Yang quickly removed her arm from the waist of the girl in front of her and moved the leg that had been draped over the two of Blake's so that she could exit the bed.

"Even in your sleep you can't seem to stay away from me." The faunus teased.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to." Yang replied sheepishly, embarrassed that her partner had found out.

"It's alright. You were asleep when you did it and I didn't want to wake you up." Blake sat up and yawned, running her hands through her hair and throwing it away from her face.

"How long did you stay up?" Yang worried that her friend had slept poorly because of her outburst earlier.

"It woke me up, just like you did a moment ago. I'm a light sleeper. Don't worry about it." Blake walked into the bathroom and turned on shower. "I'm showering first, since you were the one who dragged me out here."

Yang grunted in annoyance but didn't protest and instead sat down on the bed and turned on the TV in front of her. Lisa Lavender was reporting on some missing children and the blonde only half paid attention. The time on the news read 4 A.M which made her feel bad about waking Blake so early. After what seemed like an eternity for Yang, the shower turned off. She stood up and waited impatiently for the faunus to exit. The door to the bathroom opened and she darted inside, she nearly ran into Blake in her rush to clean herself and her hair.

"I'll be getting breakfast. Feel free to join me whenever you get done."

"You got it kitty cat." Yang closed the door and undressed. Shame I didn't bring spare clothes.

After nearly an hour, Yang entered the hotel restaurant. The majority of the tables were cleared except for the one Blake was sitting at and a young man who appeared to be on a business trip, judging by his collared shirt and khakis. The blonde walked over to Blake, who was using her scroll with headphones plugged in. She looked up as Yang scooted next to her in the booth. The blonde swore that she heard Sun in the headphones scream something along the lines of "No Luca!" but she couldn't be sure. Blake paused the video and put her scroll down.

"You took your time." She gently lifted the brawler's head off of her shoulder.

"You have no idea how hard it is to deal with this much hair." Yang placed her head on Blake's shoulder once again, this time the faunus simply sighed and accepted that the blonde was not going to give up.

"Why don't you just cut it?" Yang stood up to mock offense. The second she did, Blake darted out of the booth and dropped down into one of the chairs which sat across on the other side of the table.

"You think you can get away from me that easy?" Yang grinned devilishly as she sat on the lap of Blake, who tried unsuccessfully to push her off. "You just made it worse for yourself kitty cat."

"Yang, get off please." Blake said firmly.

"Sorry, I was just messing around. I didn't mean to make you mad." Yang stood up and slid back into the booth across from Blake.

"It's ok, but the other guy is staring at my ears and it's making me uncomfortable." Blake glanced at the other patron, who quickly moved his eyes to the newspaper in front of him.

"I'll talk to him." Yang stood up and began to walk over to the man.

"Yang, don't." Blake placed her hand on the blondes wrist, but she simply shook it off.

"I need to do this Blake."

"Just don't hurt him. For me." Yang nodded and resumed walking over.

"Hey man, do you have a problem with faunus or something? What's your deal?"

"N-no. Not at all. Sorry for staring. I just didn't expect to see any of their kind here, since it's a higher class neighborhood." Yang's hands clenched.

"And why is it that you would not expect to see 'their kind' here? Just because she's a faunus doesn't mean she's poor." Yang spat out, growing even angrier.

"I didn't m-mean to insinuate anything about your girlfriend. I'm sorry ma'am." The stranger stammered as he tugged at his collar, beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Oh, I believe you did mean to insinuate." Yang leaned closer to the man, who was already on the edge of his seat. "Also, we're not dating." Yet

"I'm sorry, is there a problem here?" A man in a suit walked over from the entrance.

"Yes, actually. This man here was making generalization about faunus that was frankly offensive to both me," Yang nodded towards Blake, who had moved to stand next to her. "And my friend."

"My apologies ma'am, but I'm going to have to ask you to leave." Yang nearly punched the both of them in the face, but held back for Blake's sake.

"You're asking me to leave? Not the man who was being racist?" Yang was incredulous at the man's response. "I would like to speak to your manager."

"I am the manager. Yes, I am asking you to leave. This man was simply enjoying his breakfast and you went out of your way to harass him."

"You know what? I would be happy to leave. In fact, don't expect to see either me or my friend again. Come on Blake, let's go." Yang turned to leave but heard an impact followed by an exclamation of surprise and pain. She turned around to find the manager on the floor and Blake massaging her hand.

"Faunus whore!" The man spat blood towards Blake.

"Oh man, I think I feel a little dizzy." Yang poorly faked dizziness as she wobbled over to the manager. "Oh man, I'm gonna fall over." Yang 'fell' but caught herself, her hand having accidentally formed into a fist. Luckily she was able to slow herself before she hit the ground using the table next to her. "I suggest buying better tables. These break in half if someone catches themselves with them. Have a nice day."

"Well, that was a thing." Blake said once they were outside.

"Hey, that's my line!" Yang crossed her arms in mock indignation before breaking into laughter. Blake soon joined her.

"Yang, thanks for sticking up for me. No one has ever done that for me before."

"Of course, you're my girlfriend after all." Yang's face flushed in embarrassment as she realized what she said.

"I like the sound of that." Blake replied slyly and hugged the blonde. She gave her a quick peck on the cheek before letting go.

"So, are you alright with this now?" Yang questioned. She was happy at the change of mind but didn't want to make Blake feel like she was being forced into anything.

"More than alright with it. Come on, let's get back to the dorm. We might have to wait a little while before we can hop on an airship though."

The pair ended up not waiting at all, the first rounds beginning at 6 o'clock which was the time they arrived. They sat in silence with their hands interwoven the entire time. The only other people on the airship other than the two were the crew, since everyone at Beacon was still asleep. They occasionally glanced towards the two, but in a different way as to the man in the hotel. They were simply curious about their passengers and not concerned about their heritage. I can't believe how those two acted. It's ridiculous the way people treat faunus.

When they landed at Beacon, Yang and Blake headed straight to their rooms.

"I need to change clothes so badly." Yang said, Blake nodded in agreement.

When they reached the room Blake unlocked the door and opened it as quietly as she could in order to avoid waking their other teammates. Yang almost shouted in surprise by what she saw in Weiss' bed. The heiress and her sister were curled up together and were sleeping peacefully. I always knew Ruby was a big spoon. Yang thought to herself, almost causing her to burst into laughter. She managed to keep it down to a quiet giggle however and quickly grabbed her exercise clothes.

"I'm going to hit the gym for a few hours." Yang's stomach rumbled, reminding her that she never got to eat at the hotel. "Okay, maybe I'm going to hit the cafeteria. Then I'll hit the gym."

When Yang entered the cafeteria, she was surprised to see Jaune and Pyrrha already there, seeming to have both just woken up.

"Sup lovebirds!" She yelled across the room, startling the both of them.

"Yang please, it's still way too early for that." Pyrrha muttered into her food.

"Oh don't be like that!" Yang plopped down in the seat next to her. "Anyways, why are you two up so early anyways?"

"Jaune and I decided to start training early in the morning instead of at night."

"Pyrrha decided we should start training early in the morning." Jaune said sleepily. "I objected to the idea quite adamantly." Yang grinned.

"Well, I'm here to eat and as much as I would love to keep pestering you two, I'm starving.

Yang ate quickly, being much hungrier than she realized since she hadn't eaten dinner the night before either. When she finished she waved goodbye to both Pyrrha and Jaune and walked to the locker room. She changed quickly and stuffed her scroll in the arm band she had exactly for that purpose. She plugged in her headphones and selected her workout playlist. A mixture of the Achieve Men along with songs by Jeff and Casey Williams. About half an hour in, Blake joined her silently. They smiled at each other as Yang steadily increased the weight of the machines. Making sure that it was always higher than the weight on her girlfriend's equipment.

"We're going to have to shower again, aren't we?" The Faunus asked, covered in sweat.

"Yeah, but at least we have a change of clothes this time." Yang replied as she went back to the team's dorm.

Man, those guys were dicks! The manager got what he deserved and the patron was more than a little scared of Yang. As always, hope you enjoyed the story.
