So, Blake was a faunus. That's cool, a certain blonde thought to herself. Yang only seemed to think of this in a positive light. Not in the usual sense, though. Oh, no, she thought about it in a far more sinister way, if sinister is the word to use. Mind you, it's not sinister in the sense that she was planning evil things for the cat-girl; at least, not unless you considered seducing an unknowing individual evil.
Yang had come to terms with her feelings ages ago. She knew weeks, maybe even months ago, that she had developed feelings for Blake. Maybe it was her calm air, or her sense of collectiveness in an otherwise mad environment, or maybe it was purely physical; Yang wasn't quite sure, and honestly didn't care. If it was physical, then Yang felt that she knew how to pick them. The black haired beauty had a lovely pale complexion, eyes of Yang's favorite color of all time, an incredible figure, that adorable face she made when she read an interesting segment of a book, and, Yang's personal favorite, leggings that seemed skin tight. If Yang were a cat, she'd have purred at the thought.
So, when she and the rest of team RWBY recently found out that Blake was secretly a cat faunus, not only was she surprised with the others, but she also felt an extreme sense of excitement that bordered pleasure from the fact. She had asked Blake if it was okay to see her ears after she returned home, and the ninja girl obliged. Yang added to her mental checklist of all of Blake's amazing physical traits. Sexy cat ears for a purrfect girl: check! She laughed inwardly at her own pun, but opted to keep it to herself for once.
So, presently Yang found herself walking back to her shared dorm after a strenuous workout at the gym and looking forward to a much needed shower. She entered the room and found that the only occupant was a certain bookworm, reading some thick hardcover that Yang could only assume was supposed to be an "interesting" piece of literature, but she didn't approve of books that spanned more than two hundred pages; she never did particularly enjoy reading.
"Whaddup!" Yang greeted with a grin. I swear to God, one of these days I will tear you up! She inwardly thought. Blake was so engrossed in reading that she barely returned Yang's greeting with a light 'hello'. Yang tossed her gym bag aside as she walked to her closet to gather up her shower utensils. "So," she attempted to break the now awkward silence. "What are you reading?" Yeah, just like the first time we met. Smooth, Yang. Your conversational genius knows no bounds.
Blake, in response, merely lifted the seemingly one thousand page long novel so that Yang could clearly see the cover. It was blue with a knife or a dagger on the cover, but it was too far away for Yang to read the title.
"Is it…good?"
Blake nodded. "It's unique," she deadpanned, not really putting any effort towards Yang's attempts at conversation.
"Really?" Yang replied awkwardly. "What part?"
"All of it." The faunus girl said no more, and simply turned the page.
Right, she thought. "I'm just gonna, you know, take a shower." She grabbed her yellow towel and made her way to the door. "I'll be back in a few." As she made her way to the showers, she inwardly cursed herself for being such a failure. "Foiled by a stupid hardcover!" she muttered under her breath. Oh well, there's always after I get back from the shower.
Roughly twenty minutes passed before Yang returned from the shower, wearing her night clothes and still towel drying her unkempt mess that passed for hair; although, it was a very lovely mess of hair in her opinion. To her slight surprise, Ruby and Weiss were still gone. Presumable, the pair was in the library studying, which meant that Ruby was being forced to work and Weiss was ordering her around.
"I'm back, my little kitty!" Yang declared proudly as she strolled towards hers and Blake's stack of beds that passed for bunks. Silently, she pondered how her bed hadn't fallen and destroyed Blake yet. Then again, her bed was just a little bit more stable than Ruby's, which was hanging, almost literally, by a thread. "How's the book?"
"Depressing," Blake answered calmly, not sounding depressed at all. "A character I like just died."
Yang tilted her head in wonder, unsure of how someone could say that they felt slightly depressed with such a calm and even tone. "Right," she said, unsure of what the proper response should be. She shrugged and opted to look at Blake in thought. An idea had crossed her mind. It wasn't the first time that it had occurred to her, but she decided that now was the time to ask. "Hey, Blake, I have a question."
Blake nodded and set the book down, knowing that when Yang asked a question that she wouldn't be able to concentrate on reading. "What is it?" she asked, somewhat curious.
"You're a faunus," Yang started.
"…Obviously."
"And you have cat ears, which means that you're part cat."
Blake nodded, not sure where this going. "Yes," she replied stiffly.
"So, does that mean that you have a cat's tail as well?" Yang finally asked.
Blake facepalmed. Really, she should have seen this coming. If not from Yang, then maybe from Ruby. Honestly, the two sisters were so much alike at times that it was frightening. "No, Yang, I do not have a tail. Just the ears."
"Really?"
"Really."
"You sure?" Yang asked skeptically.
"Positive."
"Positively positive?"
Blake groaned. "I don't have a tail, Yang!"
"I don't believe you," the blonde stated with a slight grin.
Before she could stop herself, Blake blurted out, "What, do you want to check for yourself?" Oh, Christ on a cracker, she totally just played me, didn't she? the faunus thought.
Yang's grin grew to a fully fledged smug smirk. "Are you offering?"
"Eat me," Blake retorted.
"Oh, naughty!"
"God damn it!"
Screw it! Go for broke! Yang thought. "Come one, what's the harm in having a look?" She sat on Blake's bed and leaned seductively towards Blake.
"Yang," she started, now feeling nervous. "What are you doing?"
"Well, with any luck, you," the blonde answered.
Blake kept her nervous look for a few seconds longer before it broke away, revealing a smile that was graced by a loud laugh. "Oh God," she gasped between laughs, causing Yang to stop in confusion.
"W-what?"
"That has to be the worst pick up line I've ever heard!" Blake continued to laugh.
"Hey, if you're book hobby is anything to judge by, you don't hear very many pick up lines! At least give me some credit!"
"Yang," Blake began after she calmed down, wiping a tear from her eye after laughing so hard. "If you're pursuing me, then I'm going to have to turn you down on the grounds that you're looking for sex."
Yang blinked in confusion. "And that's bad because…why?"
"Simple; I'm not easy."
"So, what you're saying is that I have a shot at you?"
Blake smiled slightly as she pondered for a moment. "Tell you what: you get a chance to convince me to go out with you. Starting tomorrow, you have until Friday to talk me into it. If you fail to do so by the time the challenge is up, then you will have no hope of ever having me."
Yang stared at her in disbelief. "You can't be serious."
"Tomorrow's Monday, Yang. If I were you, I'd be getting some rest. You've got a long week ahead of you."
Yang swore under her breath as she stood to pace the room. After a moment of consideration she turned to Blake, holding her right hand out. "You've got yourself a deal, kitty!" I must have her! Yang thought.
Blake accepted the hand and they shook, officially starting the challenge. This is going to be fun, Blake mentally noted.
AUTHOR'S NOTE
I feel like I start these AN's much the same: complaining about my lack of sleep which is brought upon by my chronic writing. I swear, that must be a medical condition or something. Anyhoot, ONWARD!
So, I went to bed at like 11PM eastern time and had a slight, non-story related idea, so I noted it down and then got distracted by the internet for an hour or so. At 1AM Eastern time, I laid back down and had THIS idea, so I had to get back up and write it. I have plans for this to be a 3 part story. I hope you like it, because I have no idea what the hell I'm actually doing for this.
BONUS: You get an internet cookie if you can figure out what book Blake is reading in this fic. Feel free to leave a review as well. Also, check out my other RWBY fics, in particular check out Team RWBY Plays! :D
Till next time!
