Bees in Springtime

"Why are we here exactly again?" 

"To go shopping!" Weiss answered. Yang eyed at Weiss. Sighing.

"But that's boring! I wanna train or... I dunno. Eat?" Yang puts her arms behind her head. Blake chuckled. 

"That's all you do anyways!" 

"Not true! Unlike you, I get all the bitches." Yang smirks. Weiss sputtered. She stared at Yang in confusion and mostly annoyed. 

"First of all... I am not a lesbian like you are. Secondly, I don't need anyone! Thirdly???" Weiss finishes off with her flipping Yang off. Making Yang stick out her tongue at Weiss who rolled her eyes and proceeded walking. Ruby following Weiss from behind. 

"I... I didn't know that"

Yang turned around, looking at Blake. "Know what?" 

"I didn't know that you're... attracted to women." 

Yang stares before laughing nervously. "Well... yeah! I just don't see myself with a man. No hate to them. Plus women are hot as hell." Yang had her hand do a 👌. 

Blake let out a pft. "Is that so? I think you're explaining yourself." Blake said as she walked by Yang. 

"I wouldn't be wrong anyways. I'm hot as hell too! Literally and figuratively." Yang walked by Blake's side. 

"Weirdo." Blake gave Yang a playful punch to the arm. Yang laughs. Blake looks ahead, now realizing that... uh... 

"Where did Ruby and Weiss go?" Blake looks around, Yang doing the same. 

"Did they ditch us? Rude." Yang frowns. Blake was looking around till... she caught a swift of a delicious smell. Her ears perked up. She looks in the direction of the smell. 

It was a restaurant. Seafood restaurant. Someone was cooking fish. Blake's stomach growled. She's drooling at the thought of having it for lunch. 

"Ah- is the cat hungry? Shall I feed you?" Yang pet- well. Attempted to pet Blake who leaned down, her ears going down. 

"Not in public."

"Ah. My apologies." Yang had her hand up in forgivenes. Blake stands up straight. 

"But- are you hungry?" Yang asked again. Blake nods. 

"I am, but-" 

"Wanna go to that restaurant for lunch? I'll pay." Yang offered. Blake gasped a bit. She kept herself calm though.

"That does sound great but shouldn't we look for Ruby and Weiss first?"

"Pftttt nahhhhh. They'll be fine." Yang exaggerated. 

"Do you trust Ruby and Weiss alone?" 

"Nope! But that's what makes it fun. Now come on!" Yang grabbed Blake's hand and pulled her towards the restaurant, making her stumble but she catches up to Yang's pace. Blake smiled to herself. 

Meanwhile... 

Weiss and Ruby were peeking out of a corner watching the interaction between Blake and Yang. Weiss looks at Ruby and high fived her.

"Good thinking Weiss." Ruby said. Weiss brought Yang and Blake here because there is a seafood restaurant and she knows Blake wouldn't be able to restrict herself. Yang is a very loving and generous woman. So she surely would take Blake out for lunch. Weiss had Ruby use her semblance and get both of them out quickly so that Yang and Blake lost sight of them.

Plan was working!

"Er..." 

"Mhhhahupgff?" 

Blake had a mouthful of fish. Yang was trying so hard not to laugh. She's never seen Blake eat like this before. Perhaps because Blake was comfortable with being herself. 

Blake swallowed her food, blushing as she laughs nervously. 

"I take it you like the food?" Yang was amused. 

"Yang its delicious I love it. Thanks for the offer." Blake smiles. She asked for more fish to the waitress. Yang was unconsciously stiring her drink. She had a smile on her face. 

"Though are you sure you can pay for all of this? I can pa-"

"Nope. Think of it as my gift." Yang smiles. 

"Gift? For what? I didn't do anything crazy."

"A gift for being an amazing person. Love havin yuh around." 

Blake blushes. She looks at her plate, almost stunned by what Yang said. Blake brushes her bangs behind her ear. 

"T-Thank you Yang... I enjoy having you around as well." 

"Well I'm glad that's the case! I'm just glad you're doing okay. You've been looking a lot better lately." 

"I do feel, more stable now. It's all thanks to yo- Ah thank you." A plate of fish was served to Blake, to which she thanked. Stabbing the fish with a fork, she puts it in her mouth. 

'It's like a cat... eating. How cute.' Yang spoke in her thoughts. 

"Yung-? Yuh havun-" Blake swallowed and cleared her throat. "Sorry. You haven't eaten, aren't you gonna have something?"

"Nah. I had a big breakfast." Yang brushed it off. Blake understood and kept eating. Though she kept thinking about it... 

Was... two fried egg considered a big breakfast? No... Yang has eaten more then that... Why did Yang lie about that...? 

"Wonder what Ruby is up too...?" 

"Who knows. You're her big sister. What do you think?" 

"Probably bugging Weiss." Yang chuckles. Blake smiles. 

"I've always wanted a little sister. You know... have someone look up to me. Yang, you're a good sister. I can tell." Blake smiles. 

"Ah- thank you! I do my best to be there for her whenever she needs me to." (PAIN-) Yang was flustered. Blake finishes the plate. 

"I'm stuffed..." 

"Kay. I'll pay." 

"Are you sure you don't wanna at least get a snac-" 

"Blake..." Yang laughs a bit. "I'm fine. Thank you though." Yang said as she pulls out the card from her wallet. 

Blake frowns. Maybe she's overreacting. Yeah. She brushes it off and continues chatting with Yang. 

"Ah. You're a Faunus. Hm. I'll have to charge you extra then." The other waitress said. 

"H-Huh?!" 

"Faunus eat more then us humans. They are a handful to deal with! Sooo... pay the extra charges or You're getting arrested." The waitress said. Blake sighed. 

"Oh no you don't! Blake why don't you go wait outside. I'll be right there with you." Yang smiles. Blake nods. She left the restaurant, knowing exactly what Yang will do. 

She can hear yelling. It made her smile. It's nice to have someone who's willing to fight for you. Fight for someone's rights. It's a nice feeling. 

Blake looks around, wondering if she may spot Weiss and Ruby. She then catches a strange person. Normally she wouldn't even mention it but... 

Blake narrowed her eyes. The figure looks at Blake. It has a mask on and a strange outfit. It knows Blake is here. 

"Huh...?" The Faunus mumbled. It looks suspicious. Blake gets a strong guts telling her that something is not okay. 

"Hey!" Blake ran off, to which the figure runs off. Blake ends up chasing after the person. She kept chasing till she was out of the shopping area. Going into an alley. The person stood there. 

"Hey. Reveal yourself and state your name." Blake ordered as she pointed her gun at the figure. 

The figure took off the hood of its cloak. Taking off the mask... it turns around. 

Blake's eyes widened. 

"Good seeing you again kitty."

"I- I thought y-you..." 

"Died? Almost. Your precious... blondie almost killed me but because you always need her, she came for you! Allowing me to create a clone of myself and leave the scene. I've been looking for you Blake... how are you doing, my love?"

Blake's hands were shaking. 

"Quit pointing that at me. You wouldn't dare...to kill your best friend... now... would you? A friend... a partner.... a boyfriend... you wouldn't dare to break your promise..." 

Blake teared up. She's shaking so much. Adam chuckles. He holds Blake's shoulder. Whispering into her Faunus ears.

"Why don't you come home with me...? We can be that perfect couple again... I'll give you so much love... more then that... bitch." 

"No!" Blake backed up, now feeling like she's the one being corned. She kept pointing her gun at Adam. "I won't go back to that... I won't. I'm not letting you take control of my life..." 

"Ah... your friends broke you. How heartbreaking. Don't worry, I can fix you... I'll make you yourself again... I honestly liked it when you didn't fight back." Adam then grabbed Blake by the neck. Pushing her up against the wall. Blake stared at Adam in horror. 

"Let me go...!" Blake choked. Adam grins.

"I'll spare you if you let me take you home..." Adam pulls out a new katana, holding it at Blake's neck. 

"And if you refuse... I'll kill your friends. I know exactly who... they are. Ruby Rose. Weiss Schnee. Yang. Xiao. Long." Adam smirks. Blake was shaking. She shook her head. 

"Don't do this...! I-" Blake choked. She cried. "I'll go with you...! Just don't hurt my friends!" 

"Now that's my girl..." Adam lowered Blake back to her feet. Releasing her neck. But he still had a katana to Blake's neck. 

"First, discard your scroll and weapon, then put this cloak on." Adam ordered. Blake hesitated but she eventually drops her scroll and weapon. Putting the cloak on.

"Adam... you can still change..." 

"No. It is you who needs to change." Adam corrected. Blake felt so small again. She silently cried to herself as she was forced to walk with Adam. 

She really thought she was safe... but now... she's back to what she used to be. 

Blake wants to scream for Yang, but she so scared that Adam is stronger then ever and he would kill her. 

"Blaaaake?" Yang called. She was looking for Blake. Wondering where she walked off too. She opens up her scroll. Finding Blake in an alley using the tracker on the scrolls. 

"Ah. That's where you are." Yang smiles. She heads to the alley. Expecting Blake to be there... but... 

"Blake...?" Yang looks down. Seeing the scroll and Gambol Shroud. She knows Blake wouldn't just leave it here. 

"Shit... SHIT!" Yang hissed. She immediately called Ruby and Weiss. Letting them know that something happened to Blake. 

Yang then held onto Blake's stuff before running off, running through crowds.
