Sooooooo having a little writer's block with Tomb Raider atm ^^" Therefore, since I'm way obsessed with RWBY and without intending to, I began shipping Bumbleby, here's what you get! Probably going to run for like 5 chapters or something not sure yet...

Anywho, Enjoy~!

Nothing beats the pure blissful silence of the library. Everyone here has the same purpose here as I do; escape the loudness of the world and get lost in a book. This wasn't antisocial behaviour, it was just personal time, and my personal time was something I enjoyed very much. To be honest, I really did want to continue reading Ninjas of Love, but it isn't safe to read that book at a library. The amount of looks I would get, even if it was just from the few people who come here, would make me very uncomfortable. It wouldn't hurt to get a new book anyway, especially since the majority of mine are saving me from being crushed at night by Yang's bed.

"Waddup, kitty cat?"

And, speak of the devil, Yang was suddenly right up to my face, catching me of guard and causing me to jump back, hitting against the book shelf. A couple of shushes were directed at us. I apologise, embarrassed.

"Yang, don't do that."

"Why not? It's fun!"

"It's annoying and rude, especially in a library. This isn't a bar you know."

Yang gasps dramatically, placing her hand on her chest, acting hurt.

"Do you just take me as some blonde party girl?"

I roll my eyes, unable to stop a smirk. She laughs, earning us more shushes.

"So Blake, what're you up to?"

"You are aware why people go to a library, aren't you?"

Yang grabbed one of the books from the shelf, looking at it quizzically. I couldn't help but chuckle.

"It has something to do with this, right?"

"Well done Yang, I'm proud of you."

She giggles and places the book back. It was odd, but I really did enjoy Yang's company, which is surprising since there's a huge difference between the two of us. A loud, cheerful party girl and a quiet book reading faunus as friends? Wow. What was even stranger was that I have a crush on this crazy loudmouth. Yeah, a crush, which is weird considering the first time we met, she called me a 'lost cause'. That comment really did bug me, so when I saw her in the forest beating the hell out of the ursas, for some reason I wanted to prove to her I wasn't. I wanted to prove how good of a fighter I was and make her regret calling me that. It seemed to work, since we became partners and did pretty well on our mission. Yang herself was an amazing fighter, and an amazing team mate. Not to mention she looked amazing too…

"Blake? Hello?"

I shake my head, getting out of my thoughts and see Yang waving her hand in front of me.

"You kinda dozed of there, you doing okay?"

"Yeah, sorry I uh… I was just thinking… Wait, what are you even doing here Yang? It's not like you to come to the library."

"Well, I wanted to spend some time with you today, Blakey. Ruby and Weiss are with Jaune and Phyrra right now helping out with his training and Ren and Nora have wandered off to God knows where, so I thought I should spend time with my partner."

I really hope she didn't notice my bow twitch as I felt my ears perk up. I was really happy that she wanted to spend time with me, obviously, but what were we supposed to do? I just wanted to read a new book today, and that's hardly Yang's style. But I did want to be with her.

"Sure. What do you have in mind?" Please have something in mind.

She took my hand and winked, causing me to tense and my face to heat up.

"You'll find out."

She then led me out of the library, which I'm pretty sure everyone else was happy about and began leading me away from Beacon. In was night time, and although Professor Ozpin didn't mind us being out too late, I still felt a little uncomfortable. Yang's hold on my hand tightened as she took me further away from Beacon, and we soon arrived to our destination. I had no idea why, but we were at the cliff of the Emerald Forest, which look even more dangerous at night. I wasn't scared, mind you, I was just… Wary.

"Yang, why have you brought me here?" She let go of my hand, which I was a little sad about.

"Well, if I'm being perfectly honest, I have no clue. I just wanted to be away from Beacon."

I was confused on why, but I didn't ask since Yang began to walk closer to the edge of the cliff, sitting herself down and sighing.

"You gonna come sit next to me?"

I froze for a moment, but quickly complied and walked to the edge as well, setting myself down next to her. She smiled at me and looked back at the forest. I did the same, wondering why she was. The forest didn't exactly look the best, especially at night since it was a little harder to see. Well, in her cause I guess, since I can see perfectly fine since… Yeah.

"Hard to believe this dull place has so many great memories, huh?"

I look at her, still looking across at the forest with a smile on her face. Her smile really was beautiful. Everything about her was beautiful. Her smile, her eyes, her hair that no one could ever touch without getting a punch to the face, the list goes on really. I've has these thoughts about her ever since we became partners, a small crush getting way out of hand. I haven't told her anything yet, as I'm certain she wouldn't have the same feelings I do since she seems to drool over many of the male students when they walk around at night with their shirts of and flirt with her. I wouldn't label myself as the jealous type, but I did get a little annoyed when they did that. Hopefully Yang didn't notice that. I couldn't help but smile too.

"Yeah, it does. It was the first time we all came together as a team with everyone and made it out of here alive. Defeating the Nevermore and the Death Stalker sure was difficult, but we pulled through."

"We were all totally badass in there, it was awesome!"

I chuckle at Yang, turning to see her smiling at me. I smile back, my heart beating just a little bit faster. I turned away, feeling my face burning again and my ears fall flat. I both loved and hated the way Yang made me do that, and wished I could make her feel the same. I shake my head again, trying to get these barbaric thoughts out of my head before I ruin everything. Luckily, I didn't, as we spent the next couple of hours talk about nonsense really, which made me extremely happy.

"And that's why I can never trust Ruby in the kitchen, especially when the cookie jar is on the top shelf."

"I wouldn't trust her either, must've taken you hours to clean up that mess."

Yang giggles and soon puts her hands behind her head and lays herself down, looking up at the sky.

"I'm just glad everything's worked out for us. Ruby's made way more friends than I thought she would, we're on the same team and we've been able to spend more time with each other, it's been great. And I'm glad you and Weiss are on our team too, and that we've all grown so much closer than before."

"So, you don't think I'm a lost cause anymore?"

Yang laughs awkwardly, placing one hand over her eyes. "Nope, not anymore."

I sigh with relief after hearing that, happy that I've proven my point. I look at Yang, who still had her hand over her eyes. I didn't mean to, but I took advantage of that and just stared at her for a moment, really looking closely to detail. She really was a beautiful sight; I could really just stare at her all day. Her figure really was incredible, both slim and a good set of muscles, her hair messy yet lovely, her breasts…

"Y'know," She removes her hand and I quickly turn away, ashamed of my dirty thoughts and god damn perverted eyes.

"There's something I've been meaning to ask you for a while now, Blake. You mind me asking?"

I just shake my head, not daring to look at her because my face was still very warm and I wasn't about to let her see that. I hear her raising herself up, and suddenly felt her hand on my shoulder. Against my will, I look at her, hoping she couldn't see my face too well. It was dark after all, so there's a chance…

"That time when you left us and ended up with Sun, were you thinking about coming back to us?"

I'm surprised by her question, as her voice sounded worried.

"I came back didn't I?"

Yang shook her head, taking her hand from my shoulder and turning her full body round, crossing her legs and intently looking at me.

"If we never found you, would you have made your own way back to us, or would you have run away for good?"

I couldn't answer straight away, as I myself didn't know what I would've done. I stare at her for a moment, her usual smile and cheerful attitude suddenly turned serious. I felt a little uncomfortable, looking away from her and nervously twiddled my thumbs. What would I have done?

"Well… After what I said… I guess, I thought that you all wouldn't have cared what I did, whether I came back or not. So…"

I was suddenly pushed to the ground by Yang, feeling her arms around my neck as she now lay on my chest, making me gasp and increasing my heart rate. I can't help but squirm underneath her, which really didn't do me any favours as she then decided to straddle me, leaving me nowhere to hide. As a last resort, I place my hands over my face, as it's the only option I have left to hide my blush.

"You really stress the hell outta me, you know that?"

I feel her take both my wrists and remove my hands from my face, seeing her with a huge smirk on her face and a raised eyebrow. I didn't know how to answer that, so I just lay there in silence. That seemed to work, because she continued.

"You think that after all the time we've spent together, fighting alongside each other and becoming even closer as a team that we wouldn't care about you not coming back?"

"That's how everyone else felt when they found out I was a faunus." I didn't mean to raise my voice, but I did. It was true, and I've hated those moments. Everywhere I went when I was in the White Fang, I got called nothing but 'Faunus' or 'Cat' or in some cases, 'Freak'. Yang's hand then wanders to my bow, making me instantly struggle underneath her. I'm not weak, but it wasn't easy to get someone who has the super strength of ten men – maybe even more – off of me. She has both my wrists in one hand and uses her other to untie my bow, revealing my cat ears. I turn away, unable to look at her anymore and feel myself on the verge of tears. I maintain my composure though.

"Why are you so afraid, Blake? We don't care if you're a faunus. It's just who you are, nothing to be ashamed of."

"No, it's what I am, not who I am." My eyes are closed at this point, remembering using those words before and wishing I was somewhere else right now. As much as I did enjoy spending time with Yang, being straddle with my cat ears on show is far pass the limit.

"It's a part of you, Blake. You really are overthinking this. Look, maybe in the past things didn't exactly go your way, but now, they are. Every one of your friends knows you're a faunus, so you shouldn't be hiding yourself anymore. We don't mind at all."

Amazingly, I'm able to look at Yang straight in the eyes, seeing her gentle gaze looking down on me with a sweet smile. It did mean a lot to me to hear those words from her, but I still just didn't have the courage. I was a fool. Everyone I knew and cared about really didn't care about me being a faunus or my past with the White Fang, so I should be more comfortable around them, but I just wasn't. Even now, with the girl I love looking down on me with the most sincere of looks, I couldn't help but fill my head with the idea that she was judging me. I couldn't help it. I felt my tears begin to fall, which made Yang look terrified.

"Blake!"

She pulls me up and I hug her, burying my face onto her shoulder and let out my cries. I felt her wrap her arms around my waist, pulling me in tight and hushing and soothing me. Her big sister instincts must be kicking in. She begins to stroke my head, obviously being cautious of my ears. I wouldn't mind her touching, but I couldn't really tell her that because all I could do and wanted to do at the moment was cry. All my friends really did care about me, yet I continued to stay in the shadows. All I've ever wanted was to be treated as an equal, and that's exactly what I was getting from everyone, the people who I can call my friends. It was unbelievable, and emotional. I soon feel myself calming down, my cries turning into small hiccups and pull myself from Yang's embrace, offering her a small smile.

"I'm sorry."

Yang rolls her eyes and pushes me to the ground again, making my eyes widen and my blush deepen. I was about to ask what she was doing, but I was cut off by… Her lips? My eyes were clearly not at their limit as they became even wider. Yang was… Kissing me? She was kissing me. I honestly had no idea what to do, my thoughts flooding in like a tidal wave. She pulled away, much to my disliking, and shot me a cocky smirk.

"I'm not."

I lay there for a moment in stunned silence, letting reality catch up with me. Once it did, I felt a rare and sudden burst of courage take over me, leading me to grab her by her shirt and pull her down for me to kiss her back. I heard her giggle as we kissed, which made my ears twitch. I couldn't tell anymore if I was awake or not, but if I wasn't, I seriously hope no one plans to wake me up anytime soon.
