A/N: I should probably explain that Vale's library is basically something I came up with which is a giant, kinda old, library filled with like a kajibillion books with huge shelves from floor to ceiling with the big ladders in wheels and stuff and like a beautiful view of Vale form the top floor, yes the library has at least three floors.

I imagined Blake always wanting to go to such a place but just never finding the time, a thus you have this chapter, as well as other things.

Please enjoy!

Earlier

Classes had finally finished for Blake and Yang, finally.

They were both in their dorm room, Ruby and Weiss were still in their last classes, leaving them alone for the time being.

Blake was in the shower, Yang nervously pacing back and forth in between their bunks. Today was Valentines Day, one of those days and Yang did have something planned for her partner, she just hoped it went as smooth as she hoped it would.

"Zwei! Come here boy!"

Yang ushered the corgi toward her, bending over as he neared and tying something around his body, something red.

"Alright boy, you know the plan."

She seriously hoped he did, he was a dog, but he was a damn smart one. Yang lead Zwei toward the bathroom door, the corgi following close by her feet. The two of them paused by the door, Yang nervously staring at it.

"Roof!"

"Ssh ssh! Zwei!" Yang hissed. "Quite!"

Zwei whimpered and lowered himself to the ground, sitting silently in front of the bathroom door. Yang waited, waited the water stopped running and then waited a bit more.

"Alright boy, here we go."

"Roof." He barked as silently as he could.

Yang pulled the small pin she had in her pocket and begun turning the lock on the bathroom door as delicately as she could, her tongue poking out in concentration. With a small click, Yang rejoiced quietly before quickly turning to Zwei and standing behind the door.

"Alright here we go."

Zwei got up and stood in front of the door, looked up at Yang and after the blonde nodded to him she opened the door just an inch to allow the corgi to pass through into the bathroom, closing the door right after him.

One Mississippi.

Two Mississippi.

Three missisis-

"ZWEI!"

Yang winced as she heard a thump as Blake fell over as the dog plodded up to her without a care in the world.

Blake shot back, wrapping her towel around her as she fell backwards, landing with a thud on her rear end, but Zwei still walked up to her.

"Zwei! What the hell- YANG! WHAT THE HELL!?"

"Roof!" Zwei barked happily and ran along Blake's bear legs, up to her abdomen and stopped with her front paws pressed on her chest.

Fortunately Yang had waited long enough for Blake to put on her undergarments, but she was still mostly naked.

"Zwei what are you doing!" Blake hissed, her ears pointed and arched backwards.

"Roof!"

Zwei jumped closer to Blake's face and she jerked back and hit her head on the basin behind her.

"Ow." Blake rubbed the back of her head as she looked down at the dog, noticing the red ribbon tied around him.

"You're joking." Blake deadpanned. She couldn't believe this, then again-she sighed- it was Yang.

Relenting, Blake reached forward and untied the ribbon from the corgi, opening the card attached to it.

'Be my Valentine?

If so, could you please, please, please! Wear that dress we bought in Vacuo? I have something nice planned, trust me.'

Blake sighed and leaned her head back against the basin, staring up at the ceiling.

"That dress?" Blake breathed. That was a really fancy dress, she didn't really think anything Yang planned would warrant wearing a dress like that. "Urgh, fine."

"Roof!"

Blake jerked back as the corgi jumped up and yapped at her face, causing her to hit her head again. "Ow! Damn it Zwei! Get out of here!"

Zwei whimpered and hesitantly backed down. "Oh don't give me that face, I'm not moving this towel with you in here."

A soft rumbling noise echoed through Zwei's throat.

"Zwei." Blake said sternly. "Please."

"Roof!" As if he knew what please meant, he happily accepted her request and plodded back to the door, pawing at it before it opened and he moved out. She stared at the door, lying on the bathroom floor with her towel over her semi-nude body, when Yang's head popped into the room.

"So?"

"Yang!" Blake clawed at her towel to cover herself better.

"Yay or nay?" Yang asked, a worried look on her face.

"GET OUT!"

"Is that a nay?"

"YANG!"

"What? I've seen you nake-"

"IT'S A YAY, A YAY NOW GET OUT!"

Yang ducked as Blake threw a toilet paper roll at her. "Great!" Yang disappeared.

Blake sighed until the mass of gold returned.

"Love ya babe."

"OUT!"

"I suppose asking you where we are going is a waste of time?"

Yang nodded.

"At least tell me we are dressed like this for a reason."

"Well we can't go where we are going looking like thugs can we?"

"Aren't all the places you go to filled with thugs?"

"Blake, I am capable of being 'civilised'. Or at least less..."

"Boisterous?" Blake filled in.

"Yeah sure, that."

"How far to go?"

"Not too far."

Blake, sighed and looked down at herself, feeling the fabric of her dress brush against her legs as she walked.

Blake was indeed dressed quit spectacularly, she had accepted Yang's request and donned the black dress she had bought with Yang from Vacuo. She hadn't worn it until now, and she knew that Yang was very happy to see her in it, she had chosen it for her.

The dress was black of course, she wouldn't wear any other colour, maybe purple, but black was usually something she looked for in a dress.

The dress just covered her knees, slightly frilled from just above the waist down, up to the breast was a patterned material and past that, above the breast and along the elbow length sleeves, was a see through lace material displaying a sporadic pattern whilst the material showed off Blake's fair skin and taught muscles.

When Blake presented herself to her partner she had to remind the blonde to say something as she gawked at her, at least after she reminded herself to say something after seeing how Yang looked.

The brawler was dressed in a similar fashion, in the sense that the bottom half of her dress was lace as well. The bottom half was yellow-of course-until it reached the pleated waist line and turned into a pale cream colour that made the sleeveless top half of the dress. There was a pleated pattern around the entirety of the top half, and along the breast and around to the back, was a black lace pattern on top of the material that met at a point at Yang's back.

Blake realised she was staring at her partner and turned away as she felt a flush race through her cheeks.

"Erghem." Blake cleared her throat, pulling Yang out of her daze.

"So uh," the faunas scratched the back of her head, "We gonna head out?"

"We should shouldn't we." Yang answered, still struggling not to stare at her partners bare legs and overall beauty.

As it so happened, they did eventually leave, which brought them to the present.

"Here we are." Yang announced, stopping in front of a surprisingly, calm, restaurant.

Blake looked at the dim, warm lights inside the restaurant back to her partner, she heard music coming from inside, but all she heard was the calm soothing melody of a piano.

"Are you sure?" Blake asked.

"Yes I'm sure! What is that supposed to mean?" Yang winged.

"Well last time we went out it was a lot more, noisier." Blake explained.

Yang groaned in response, grabbing Blake's arms and leading her into the restaurant. "Blake I told you, I can be romantic."

"I know you can, I just forget sometimes." Blake replied with a grin.

Yang rolled her eyes and smiled as she turned to the receptionist.

"Xia Long." She announced.

The young man blushed as he stared at the two girls for what he realised was longer than necessary and quickly looked down at the list of names before him.

Yang almost laughed but Blake elbowed her in the ribs before the blonde got the chance, shooting her a stern look before turning back the man and smiling warmly.

"Th-this way please."

He lead them through the restaurant, through the middle of the room and then off to the side and up the flight of stairs that hugged the left wall. The light chatter from below died down even further as they reached the second floor, which currently had even less people than the floor below them. They were lead to a seat by the wall-to-wall window that looked over Vale city and was directed toward the horizon.

The sun was just setting when they sat down.

"Thanks." Yang thanked the waiter as he left them, snorting as she saw him blush again.

"You're so cruel!" Blake hissed.

"Oh c'mon, it's funny."

Blake glared at her, noticing her ears twitching in their bow.

"Well he was looking at you anyway." Yang stated, grinning as her partner went red.

"No he wasn't!" Blake squeaked.

"Hahaha! Yes he was Blake, of course he would. Nobody can resist that Bella-"

"No! Stop. Don't you dare say it."

Yang blinked, whether consciously or not, Blake had picked up a knife and was pointing it at her.

"Okay, I won't."

Blake humphed and put the knife back down.

"He was still looking at you."

"Oh you sure he wasn't looking at your boobs?" Blake retorted.

"Oh no, he probably was." Yang replied simply with a proud smile.

Blake gawked at her partner.

"What? Is it necessarily a bad thing?" Yang asked.

"That he was staring at you? Yeah kinda."

"Are you jealous?" Yang asked, her grin quickly returning to her face.

"No I'm not- Don't change the subject!"

"Blake relax. I know a sleaze when I see one, that was cute in comparison. I'm not shy about my body, and neither should you be, your body is hot."

"I am not shy of my body."

"Oh please I've seen you trying to cover your legs with your hands and purse this whole time. Blake your legs are amazing, why worry about them?"

"If you must know, it makes me feel vulnerable."

"To what?" Yang asked, her curiosity perked.

"Anything, everything." Blake looked out the window, the sky was a lovely pink now.

"Oh." Yang breathed. She followed her partners gaze and then thought of something.

As Blake stared out the window she felt herself suddenly become much warmer than she was just a few moments ago. She found it odd until she realised that it was Yang, 'working her magic'.

"Feel vulnerable now?" Yang asked, giving Blake one of her warm smiles.

Blake blinked as she stared at her partner and that stupid smile she hated to love. Oddly enough, she found herself feeling much more relaxed than before, up to the point where she let go of the hem of her dress and found herself not caring who did or didn't look at her legs.

Yang was there, she was in front of her but she was also within her and all around her, at least that's what it felt like. She was wrapped up in a warm golden coat of Yang's aura and she didn't know a time she had felt any safer than this. Whatever worries or insecurities she had, were wiped away, melted away by the golden fire within her.

This is why they had fallen in love, this is why Blake never wanted to lose her. Yang loved her too much that she had no choice not to love her back and she admitted, it was the best choice she had ever made.

"You look so goofy." Yang said with a laugh.

Blake blinked, "Excuse me!?"

"I said you look goofy. Didn't you realise you were smiling like an adorable dork?"

"N-no, I didn't." Blake confessed.

Odd that she didn't realise, but when she thought about it, she was smiling and now she was smiling again, except this time she knew she was.

"Well, you did say you like it when I smiled. So," Blake exaggerated her smile, "Happy valentines."

"Honestly that would be the greatest gift if you didn't stop smiling all night." Yang replied.

"My cheeks will hurt though."

"Don't worry, I can kiss them better." Yang replied with a cheeky smile.

Blake rolled her eyes with a smile, "Smooth." She deadpanned.

"Shall I take your orders ladies?" The waiter arrived.

"Yes! Dessert!" Yang rubbed her hands together as the waiter placed their orders on their table.

Yang was having a molten, chocolate pudding while Blake ordered a white chocolate cheesecake. Yang's dessert came in the shape of a love heart and she took but a short second to admire it before ripping a piece out with her spoon.

The melted chocolate at the centre of the sweet oozed out and Yang found herself in heave as her taste buds practically died as they tasted heaven itself. Blake on the other hand was holding her fork in her hand as she stared at her partner in disbelief.

"This is great!" Yang said through a mouthful.

"I can see that." Blake stated.

"Do you want some?"

"I'm good thanks, let me try my dessert first at least."

Blake took a portion of her sweet onto her fork and brought it to her up to her mouth, only to have a portion of it fall of the silver ware and onto her dress.

"Aww man." She mumbled, picking up a napkin to, delicately wipe the cake off of her dress.

"Blake you need to try this. Here." With blatant disregard for her partner's awareness, or even the location of her mouth, Yang just shoved her spoon forward and by the time Blake looked up she had molten pudding squished over her mouth and around her nose.

"Oopsie." Yang lowered her spoon and sunk back in her chair, her partner blinking at her wordlessly.

"I'm sorry. Don't worry, I'll get it."

Yang reached across the table and wiped her thumb across Blake's lips to get rid of the pudding, Blake remained silent and still the whole time.

"Don't bite me." Yang laughed, feeling Blake's lips twitching.

Yang's tongue stuck out the corner of her mouth in concentration, reminding Blake of her red headed leader, before she felt Yang's thumb leave her lips.

"I still want to try it." Blake stated as Yang's thumb was inches from her lips.

Yang looked between her thumb and her partner, Blake's eyes were as stern as ever unwavering and somehow emotionless despite the tone of her voice.

Yang didn't know what to do besides offer her partner her thumb and she practically shivered when Blake closed her lips around her appendage and removed the chocolate in one smooth motion. Yang blinked and sat back in her seat, feeling a small trickle of saliva along her thumb as she stared at her partner.

It wasn't until Blake swallowed that the faunas' resolve broke and her face turned red from chin to forehead in an instant and she turned away quickly.

"Bahahaha!" Yang slammed her hand on the table and nearly fell over as she howled with laughter at her partner.

"Blake. Blake what the hell!"

"Stop laughing!" Blake hissed, she shouldn't have done that, definitely not.

"But, but, but-I don't understand!" Yang continued.

"I don't either! Leave me alone!"

"Leave you alone? You wanted to 'taste it'." Yang laughed.

"Oh you're disgusting!" Blake retorted.

"You said it!"

Blake growled and glared at her douche of a partner.

"And I said I loved you." Blake mumbled, she picked up her fork and stabbed her cake, pulling the piece free and looking at it, an idea forming.

"Oh look, there's that receptionist." Blake nodded behind Yang.

Yang turned around to look but didn't find anyone, turning back to her partner she abruptly had cheesecake shoved up her nose.

"Blah!" Yang recoiled, flailing her arms until she wiped her nose and sniffled as the feeling of cheesecake in her nose stayed with her.

"Blake!"

"Revenge is a bitch isn't it."

"I hope you know what you started Blake." Yang said, grabbing her spoon and carving out another piece of her pudding.

"Oh I do." Blake replied, slowly pushing her chair back.

"I can't believe they kicked us out and charged us."

"Well that was a lot of cake and furniture." Blake replied.

"Yeah but if they knew what we were really capably of they'd realise how lucky they were."

Blake and Yang were standing outside the restaurant, along with the other members who were on the top floor, unfortunately the top floor currently didn't have any clean furniture to sit on, but at least there was furniture.

The battle that followed Blake's agreement to war was gloriously sweet and heated. Yang really didn't know how anyone fought in heels.

"Oh you still got strawberry in your hair." Yang pulled at Blake's hair and held the berry. "Wanna 'try' this too?" Yang teased.

"Oh shut up!" Blake shoved Yang in the shoulder.

"I'm sorry. That was just really…"

"Stupid? Dumb? Embarrassing?"

"I was going for unexpected. I'm not gonna lie though," Yang lead her partner away from the restaurant. "I did make me kinda tingly."

"Yang!"

"How it was your mouth and your idea."

"I know, I know. Happy Valentines huh?"

"You say it like tonight is over." Yang replied with a grin.

"Isn't it?"

"Nope, not yet. There's one more place I want to take you."

"I can't believe you brought me to Vale's library on Valentines night."

"What? Why?! Was it a bad idea?!" Yang stammered.

"No no, it's fine, it's lovely." Blake laughed, "I'm just surprised." She said pulling a book off a shelf.

"Oh. Well I thought to do something you'd enjoy and everyone knows you like books, and I know you wanted to come here for a while and this place is actually kinda cool and I thought this would be totally lame but I couldn't think of anything else why are you staring at me like that."

"You just rambled. Like Ruby."

"No I didn't."

"Yes you did, your nervous aren't you?"

"No, me nervous? Why would I be nervous? It's because of how you sucked my thumb that's what did it." Yang argued, suddenly finding the huge wall of books in front of her fascinating.

"Stop lying, and I didn't suck it."

"Yeah that's what she said." Yang mumbled.

Blake heard but ignored it. "Why are you nervous? You gave me a speech about being nervous and here you are rambling like your sister." Blake closed the book in her hand and returned it to its spot.

"Yang?" Blake cooed, grabbing her hand.

"Be honest with me." Yang started. "Is this lame?"

"What coming here? No I don't think it's lame, I think it's oddly romantic in a way." Blake confessed.

"Really?"

"Well, instead of going out you decided to bring me here, somewhere you had no interest in only because you knew it's make me happy, and it did."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes Yang I'm sure. I'm surprised you even got us in at this hour, I don't see anyone else around."

"Uh, hehe." Yang chuckled nervously.

"You were worried about that?" Blake asked.

"Yeah." Yang relented. "Believe it or not Blake this is my first Valentine's Day with someone I truly know I love, I've never done this before I wanted to do something special and good enough for you."

"Well I think dinner was pretty special." Blake laughed. "As for being good enough, being able to laugh and smile with was more than enough. Honestly, thank you."

Yang smiled back, pulling her partner into a warm hug and letting the smell of her ebony hair reach her nose.

"I love you Blake."

"I love you too Yang."

They pulled away, "Now, for you gift." Blake stated.

"Oh so it wasn't just the smile?" Yang teased.

"Close your eyes."

"Pardon?"

"Yang close your eyes."

"Okay alright."

The blonde did as she was told and waited, hoping Blake wasn't about to pull a prank on her.

"Open your hand."

She did.

There was a pause before she felt something being wrapped around her palm and along her arm.

"Now open."

Yang immediately looked down at her left arm, finding a black ribbon wrapped around it up to her elbow. Yang recognised it as Blake's bow and when she looked up at her partner, she found two bare cat ears twitching freely.

"It's yours now." Blake stated.

"What is?"

"My bow. It's yours, forever. I don't want it anymore."

Yang looked down at the ribbon and closed her fist around it, feeling its smooth fabric.

"You've been pestering me for a while to stop hiding myself, and I kept refusing for a long time. But not too long ago I thought about it again and strangely enough, the idea wasn't so frightening to me anymore. I had hidden my past for so long and continued to hide it from others even after I met you and when we grew closer I felt myself wanting to open up, to stop hiding. I just wanted to be with you completely, all the time, all of me with all of you.

So as of today, that ribbon is yours and I'll no longer hide myself from the world, or from you."

Yang was speechless for a moment.

"Are you sure?"

"This is the second most sure I've been ever."

"What was the first?"

"Loving you." Blake answered with a smile, her hears flicking.

Yang looked up at her partner's faunas attributes, the ones she hardly got to see but wanted to know so much about.

"Are you sure? Do you realise what will happen at school?"

"Yes Yang, and after today I think I won't care as long as your near, and we both know you'll always be near."

"If this is what you want."

"It is."

"Thank you Blake."

"Don't thank me, I wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't for you."

Yang nodded, "I feel like we should kiss now or something."

"Yang don't say it just do-"

Yang reached forward and pulled Blake into a warm kiss, the faunas standing on her toes to reach her partner. Yang ran her through Blake's hair up to her ears, rubbing them gently and smiling as a light rumble ran through Blake's throat and onto Yang's lips.

"So much for reading books." Blake said after pulling back, only just, for air.

Yang smiled as she looked into Blake's glowing amber's before she pulled Blake in again and pressed their lips together, never wanting the moment to end.
