Of Sunsets and Night Skies

Chapter One: Daydreams

It was cold outside. Freezing, actually, but that didn't bother the raven-haired Faunus. She watched the snow fall on the other side of the window from the comfort of her room, a warm cup of hot chocolate in her hands. A rustling sound behind her made her ears twitch reflexively, but she paid the sound no mind as she raised the glass and took another sip, careful not to burn her tongue.

"What time did you say your sister and Weiss would be here?" She asked, not taking her eyes off the gently falling flakes.

Near silent footsteps brought a brilliant golden-haired girl up behind her, stopping only when their bodies were inches from touching.

"Not for a while..." The slightly taller girl whispered, knowing she didn't have to get close for the cat-like girl to hear her.

She got close anyway. Leaning down, her lips inches from Blake's ears, she reached out and put her hands on Blake's hips, pulling her close.

"Not for at least half an hour." Her warm breath tickled the girl's skin.

"Yang..." The name was whispered in a breathy moan, Blake responding almost against her will as she pushed herself back against Yang's hips.

Yang responded by growling softly in her ear.

"Keep that up, you'll awaken the demon." She warned.

Blake tilted her head to the side, reaching up and wrapping her arms around Yang's neck. Yang needed no more invitation than that, nuzzling her nose against Blake's throat as she inhaled the unique, almost cinnamon-like scent that only Blake had.

"Maybe that's exactly what I want." Blake muttered, pushing back once more against the slightly taller girl.

Yang dug her fingers into Blake's hips, raking her nails across her hip bones before taking her in her strong grip and spinning her around.

Blake let out an involuntary yelp as Yang swiftly relieved her of her cup, setting it down on the counter and pushing it aside. Reaching down, her hands roughly groped Blake's rear before picking her up and setting her down on the counter. Immediately, Blake spread her legs as Yang's lips sought out her own, and Yang wasted no time pressing her body tight to Blake's. Blake wrapped her legs around Yang's waist, pulling her close and hooking her heels together to keep her there. The kiss was hot and fevered, and Blake's hands sought out any bare skin she could find, running her hands over Yang's bare forearms and feeling the heat radiating off her.

Yang's hands slid up her back underneath her shirt, nails scraping down her back and leaving light red scratches on her skin as she-

"Blake!"

Blake blinked a few times, harshly pulled back to reality as a voice interrupted her reverie. Immediately, a dark blush stained her cheeks as she felt the heat rising along the back of her neck, and her heart skipped a beat as she realized just exactly what she had been daydreaming about.

"Blake!"

She heard her name called again, and she took a few deep breaths in an attempt to calm her pounding heart before she lowered the book that she hadn't been reading. Looking up, she saw Yang walking toward her, only a few steps away now.

"Hey, partner!" Yang said, a grin on her face as she winked at the Faunus. "You ready to meet up with Ruby and Weiss? It's almost time!"

Blake stared blankly at Yang for a moment, memories of her day dream flashing unbidden through her mind before she willed them to the back of her mind. Looking down at her book, she gently dog-eared the page in lieu of a bookmark, before closing it slowly. Beside her, a worn black backpack sat beside her on the floor, and she carefully pulled it into her lap before slowly and methodically placing her book inside and zipping it up. Sure that the heat had faded from her cheeks by now, she pulled herself to her feet, and wiped off the non-existent dust from her backside.

Nodding to Yang, she fell in step beside her as they walked to the exit of the university.

To say that Blake kept to herself would be an understatement. Blake had little patience for most trivial nonsense, and the majority of people made the hair on the back of her neck stand up just by opening their mouths; metaphorically speaking.

She was painfully aware of how little real world romantic experience she had. Everything she knew, or thought she knew, she got from graphic novels and romance books. She used to be content with her little flights of fancy and the butterflies she got when reading something steamy in her books, but for the last few months, she had found herself day dreaming outside of her comfort zone, and it was starting to become an issue. She found herself day dreaming at the most inappropriate of times, and it seemed like it was something she couldn't control.

"...Glad that they're happy, but seriously, do they have to get all doe-eyed right in front of us?"

Blake's ears twitched under her ribbon as she tuned into Yang's complaining voice.

"I'm sorry, what were you saying?" Blake asked softly. "I was distracted."

Yang glanced at her from the corner of her eye, then shrugged nonchalantly at the demure woman.

"I was just saying how I'm glad that Ruby and Weiss have their thing going on, but for some reason it irritates me when they get all handsy with each other in front of me. Maybe it's because it's my sister?" Yang mused, now talking more to herself than Blake.

"Or am I envious because I don't have someone, I wonder?"

At this Blake cast a questioning glance at the lithe girl striding confidently along beside her, hips swaying mesmerizingly from side to side as she walked.

"What are you talking about? You're the most flirtatious member of our group, you could easily have whoever you wanted."

At this Yang grinned wolfishly, and Blake was faintly reminded just how bold this girl could be when she wanted to.

"That's true, I suppose." Yang said, running her fingers through her luscious golden locks as her lilac eyes slid over to glance at Blake. "It's fun getting boys all flustered, though. I just like the attention."

Blake didn't offer a reply, instead opting to stay silent.

'Just boys' attention...?' She wondered.

Yang sped up slightly, stepping in front of Blake to push open the door and hold it open for the slightly shorter girl.

Blake nodded her thanks to Yang as she stepped through, the girl humming happily as she followed Blake through. Falling into step by her side, Yang threw an arm carelessly around Blake's shoulders, pulling her close.

Blake let her head fall, hair obscuring the light tint that she could feel overtaking her cheeks. Some days she wished she didn't have such a pale complexion, she thought, as Yang's hand dangled enticingly close to her chest. Blake was about to protest the contact, but decided not to question her rambunctious and often spontaneous partner, instead choosing to tilt her head to the side and lean on Yang's shoulder.

It turns out Yang was a bit more thoughtful than Blake gave her credit for; the falling snow and chill in the air was effectively nullified by Yang as she ramped up her Semblance, heat rolling off her skin in waves.

Blake shivered in undisguised pleasure as the warmth permeated her body, and they trudged through the dusting of snow lining the parking lot without a care. Rolling the dice on her actions, Blake unfolded her arms and slipped her right arm around Yang's waist, pushing herself up against the other girl in an attempt to get as much heat as she could from her.

Yang giggled softly at the uncharacteristic contact, but otherwise said nothing, not wanting to embarrass her partner.

Blake heard the giggle, but seeing as Yang wasn't saying anything, she decided to follow suit.

It wasn't long before they reached the building that housed their rooms, and this time Blake skipped forward, reluctantly pulling away from Yang to grab the door handle and swing it open.

Yang reached out and gently pinched Blake's cheek as she passed through the door, laughing at the scowl that Blake threw her way.

Blake followed Yang through the doorway, head still down in relative embarrassment. Now though, her eyes were drawn to Yang's mesmerizing hips as they swayed in front of her. Amber eyes slid back and forth fluidly as she became entranced by Yang's smooth movements, and everything else was pushed from her mind as she lagged a few steps behind.

From the way her narrow waist flared out into enticingly wide hips, to the way her ass looked like it was begging to be squeezed, Blake couldn't believe that Yang got away with looking how she did. A familiar heat taking over her body, she stalked closer to Yang, unconsciously licking her lips as her ears became faintly aware that Yang had begun speaking again. Padding ever closer to the seemingly oblivious girl on silent feet, she reached out, almost close enough to-

Yang whirled around suddenly, coming to a stop as Blake plowed right into her, not having the presence of mind to avoid a collision.

Yang reached out and grabbed her wrists to steady her, as Blake shook her head in confusion.

"What do you think you're doing, Blakey?" Yang asked, her voice low. Blake raised her head, amber eyes wide as she met Yang's lilac gaze.

For the first time in a while, Blake was left speechless, unable to form words as Yang stared at her with that confident, sexy grin on her face that only she seemed to be able to pull off.

"Didja see something you liked?" Yang asked, voice nearly a whisper now but knowing full well that Blake could still hear her. Still holding Blake's wrists in her powerful grip, she raised Blake's arms up a bit and pulled her close, dominating the young girl with her absolute superior strength.

Blake had a feeling that this was moving beyond flirty friend behaviour, and once more she could feel that damnable blush creeping up on her cheeks.

Astounding how nothing ever made Yang embarrassed, she thought.

The smirk slowly slipped from Yang's face, and her eyes narrowed slightly as she slowly leaned in toward Blake.

"Because I do."

Author's note: These characters are difficult for me to write. I admire all the fanfics that I see in this fandom that seem to be able to nail the characters of Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang so easily, because to me, they're quite unique in how they're portrayed and written. Feel free to leave a review telling me what you think, I'll be updating this sporadically with one-shots as I try to improve my understanding of these characters and how to keep them somewhat realistic. Thanks for reading!
