Look at Me (from this thread: r/RWBY/comments/3u97fx/look_at_me/)

In the gentle breeze the rather chilly autumn evening, Blake quietly shuffled outside of the dormitory, carefully closing the door behind her so as not create too much noise. She knew she was alone, and that no one would care even if they heard her exit, but she was in that anxious state of mind where even the softest click causes instinctive panic. This state of mind, though not uncommon for the Faunus attempting to hide herself in plain sight, always clawed at her dispassionate shell, and threatened to fill her eyes with tears.

Walking towards the massive tower in the distance, Blake kept her eyes locked upon the ground, her arms wrapped around her body, and her ears concentrated on the sound of her footsteps, and lost herself in thought.

Or, she would have, had she not heard the recognizable thumps of Yang's boots rapidly approaching behind her.

Nearly crashing full-speed into the first girl, who had not slowed her stride, Yang slid on her heels up to Blake's side. "Hey, Blake," she said in her positively energetic, energetically positive voice, "What's up?"

"Yang, I'd really like to be alone right now," Blake responded quietly, still looking at the ground.

"Aww, come on Blake, don't be that way! Look, I brought some cookies!"

"I'm serious," the Faunus said, freezing in place and allowing more urgency to seep into her voice.

Yang stepped in front of her, and stated tensely, "So am I. What's wrong."

"It's...nothing."

"We both know that's not true. Tell me."

She was silent for a while. "It's about...us," she said finally.

Yang sighed. "What about us?"

"Being together," Blake explained, "what will everyone think when they find out? What if Sun won't talk to me anymore? What if Weiss and Ruby don't approve? What if -"

"Blake, look at me," Yang pressed, interrupting Blake, gently pushing her face upwards, and meeting her eyes. "It doesn't matter what they think. It matters what you think, and it matters what I think. And I think you were the best thing to ever happen to me."

Blake blushed hotly, and locked Yang in a tight embrace. "And," she whispered into Yang's ear, "you're the best thing that ever happened to me."
