(Oh don't worry, I didn't forget the lyrics)

It's Thursday now, after school actually. Yang and AJ were in the gym, and Pyrrha and Jaune were talking with Blake as they were heading towards the gym. The plan was ready, and they were going to enact it.

"You know… you've really improved!" Yang said as she blocked and dodged AJ's barrage of punches and kicks.

They had begun sparring recently, and Yang found that he was actually a very tough opponent when they spared the way they currently are. They had protective coverings on to keep anything important, like their faces, from being damaged in their spars. They only walked away with bruises at most. Why the school's gym had this equipment, they had no idea.

"Yeah… I know!... You keep… checking me out!" AJ teased, causing Yang to take up the offensive against him, forcing him to block and dodge, while trying to sneak in a strike occasionally.

Yang saw a right hook sneak through her attacks. With no time to block, she jumped back from him to avoid the attack.

"Not what I meant." Yang said. "Although I will admit, you do look good." His response was a roll of his eyes for some reason. "What I meant was that you're getting really good at sparring." She explained.

"Yeah, but only because you were nice and listened to me when I asked us to only do punches and kicks." He said. "If it was a fight where we put each other in holds I wouldn't get very far."

"I still don't get why you asked that though, cause I know a couple holds you would love for me to put you in!" She teased.

He rolled his eyes again before they approached each other once again.

"Besides, I have it worse because there are two areas of your body that I can't hit!" He joked.

"Oh really?" She asked with a teasing tone.

"Yeah! Your chest, and your precious hair!" He teased.

"Hey! Don't dis the hair!" She laughed before they finally started sparring again.

"So, still denying that you and Blake could ever be a thing?" She asked between strikes and blocks.

"Yep." He answered simply as he ducked under a right swing before responding with a left.

"You're being like Jaune and Pyrrha." Yang pointed out.

"And?" He asked simply.

She stopped playing nice and hit him in the chest hard before tripping him onto his back. She hated when he asked that.

"And, there's no reason not to try." Yang answered, looking down at him.

"We've been over this a thousand times." He said as he got up again before going on the offensive.

"And I'll go through it a thousand more times if it means you two are happy." She said as she easily blocked his strikes.

He tried for a side kick, but she blocked it with her left. He pulled his right leg back before she could grab it and quickly tried for a left hook, which she blocked.

"I'm happy as it is now!" He pointed out before breaking away and faking a left and going for a right, which she leaned back to avoid.

"She isn't!" She said as she kicked forwards at him, he blocked it with a raised leg and kicked back, she blocked with her right hand and swung with her left.

"Oh!" He grabbed her arm and threw her over him. "And you would know!?" He asked as he threw her to the ground.

"Yeah!" She yelled before getting up again. They both glared at each other before going at it again.

"How!?" He asked as he swatted her hands away when she tried to grab him.

"I've known her for years!" She answered and dodged his right jab, then his left jab, then his right, then blocked his left and shoved him back before going on the offensive. "And I believe you two are perfect for each other!"

"I disagree!"

"I don't care!" Yang shouted and knocked him flat on his back. He groaned in pain for a moment and opened his eyes to see her sit next to him. Both of them took a moment to calm down and slow their breathing before speaking. "You two get along so well, and I think you are a great guy and that she could use a guy to help her lighten up." She said calmly, almost softly.

"I know." He groaned and put his head in his hands. "I just can't… for no logical reason, I just can't!" He whined.

She pat him on the back comfortingly, then heard a voice and turned to the doors to the gym. She saw Pyrrha and Jaune talking with Blake. 'Perfect.' "Hey guys!" She greeted.

AJ turned around to see who it was and instantly brightened when he saw Blake.

"Hey guys!" Jaune greeted back.

"Hey, can I talk with you for a minute Blake?" Yang said suddenly and dragged Blake away from the others.

"What is it?" Blake asked curiously. She and Yang started walking away from the gym while Yang started her part of the plan with Blake.

"How's it going with AJ?" She asked seriously.

"Good." Blake said with a smile.

Not the answer she expected.

"It is? Like, are you two going out now?" Yang asked, confused. After her moment with AJ she had figured nothing had changed, yet Blake's smile made it almost look like they were together now.

"Not yet." Blake answered, not losing her smile.

"Not yet? You always just said 'no'. Why are you so happy?" Yang questioned.

"I know he shares my feelings." Blake answered.

"What!? How did you know!? I mean when did you-" Yang took a moment to calm down. "I mean… If you know he likes you, then why aren't you going out?" She asked with an annoyed tone. "What's stopping you two then!?"

"Nothing, I just want to do this a certain way." Blake answered.

"Do what?" Yang asked.

"I'm going to admit my feelings to him in a certain way." Blake answered. "I just want to do something more than just admit it to him, 'I want to do it a certain way'." She explained.

"Hey AJ."

"Hey Jaune." AJ greeted back while he laid back and enjoyed his moment to relax, now that sparring was over.

"Um… Pyrrha? Can you… go for a minute, please?" Jaune asked politely. "There's something I want to ask."

"Of course." Pyrrha nodded in understanding and walked out of the gym.

"Is this gonna be bad?" AJ asked, concerned.

"No, just private stuff that you might not really want to talk about with me, let alone her." Jaune explained as he sat down next to AJ.

"You're my only male friend, there isn't much I wouldn't talk to you about." AJ said reassuringly.

"Well, I just wanted to talk to you about how it is with Pyrrha and me." Jaune said.

AJ raised an eyebrow at him. "Why?" He asked, confused.

"With me and Pyrrha, when we hang out…" Jaune started, and AJ realized that the question he asked was being ignored and accepted it. "We normally just cuddle watch TV together, or she'll watch me play video games, or maybe we would go out and get something to eat or go watch a movie." Frankly Jaune felt a bit awkward talking about this, but kept his mind focused on what the goal was here. "I think… even if we didn't do anything, I would still love every moment around her." He smiled. "She's just so perfect. I hate myself for not going out with her earlier, but there's no point in complaining now, cause now I have her. I really can't thank you enough for that."

"Ok." AJ nodded, excepting him to continue.

"You don't get where I'm going with this?" Jaune asked. AJ seemed to think about it for a minute, but Jaune decided to just answer for him. "There's no point in you and Blake taking any longer than it is." AJ sighed in annoyance. "You shouldn't take as long as we did. God, I hope you don't take as long as we did! A couple months is plenty of time, I believe."

"I know…" AJ said sadly and looked away from him for a moment.

""What would you two do if you were together?"" The two blondes asked suddenly.

"What?" Blake asked in surprise.

"Huh?" AJ asked, not sure he heard him right.

"I told you what we do together, what would you two do together?" Jaune asked.

"Knowing him, we would probably cuddle a lot." Blake said with a chuckle. "And I wouldn't mind."

'Is she even a cuddler?' Jaune thought.

"Probably play games and read books together." AJ said hesitantly.

'Play games with him? She did admit that she likes video games to him! Good!' Yang thought.

"I would be there to comfort him, so I would never have to see him angry or sad." Blake said with a sorrowful tone for a moment as she said the last part.

'He believes she will do that for him? I suppose if they're in love than she would gladly help him.' Jaune thought.

"We would hold each other and fall asleep together." AJ said with a smile.

'Aww! They would be so cute together!' Yang thought.

"We would kiss each other and say how much we love each other and we would be the happiest couple in the world!" Blake said happily.

'Even happier than me and Pyrrha?' Jaune thought.

"But I don't have to worry about that! We're in love, and all I have to do is tell him how I feel and we'll be doing all those things!" Blake said with a big smile on her face before she finally calmed down and regained some composure, but she still couldn't stop smiling.

Yang couldn't help but laugh a little at Blake's unusual behavior. "Good! I can't wait to finally see you two together!" Yang said cheerily before remembering what the plan was and quickly pulling her phone out in a panic.

"So, why not-" Jaune was interrupted by his phone going off. He looked at the message and saw it was from Yang.

"ABORT MISSION! Don't tell him to just go tell her!" Was what Yang had texted him. 'Huh? Why? Alright, fine!' "Uh… sorry AJ. I got to go home now. I have something to do there! Uhh… Yeah, bye!" Jaune lied and ran away quickly to go talk with Yang.

AJ could tell he was lying, but wasn't going to worry about that. Jaune had brought up a lot of thoughts that he couldn't get out of his head.

"Why did we abort mission!?" Jaune asked Yang when he, Yang, and Pyrrha all met up.

"I could also ask what happened to my part of the plan." Pyrrha pointed out.

"I'm sorry, I really am!" Jaune said to her. "But I kept feeling like this was stuff he shouldn't have to say around you, and that he probably wouldn't want too, so I had you go in case it would help."

"I suppose you're right." Pyrrha conceded.

"Ok, so apparently our plan is pointless now." Yang said to them.

"What?" Jaune asked in confusion.

"Apparently Blake is already going to admit her feelings for him, so we don't need to do anything. I stopped you in time, right?" Yang asked Jaune.

"Yeah, I was literally in the middle of the sentence where I tell him to just tell her." Jaune answered.

"Oh good! That was close!" Yang sighed in relief. "I just figured we should let Blake do this her way, since the result will be the same either way." She explained.

"Fair enough." Pyrrha said. "So, when should we except to see them together?" She asked.

"Blake said her plan is to tell him during the weekend." Yang answered. "So we'll see them together next Monday."

"Alright, good! I'm happy for them!" Jaune said with a smile.

"And you don't think anything will go wrong?" Pyrrha asked Yang.

"What would go wrong? They're both in love, so I don't see what would go wrong." Yang answered.

The next day, Friday, when lunch had just started.

"Hey! AJ!"

"Hey Cardin." AJ said simply to the orange haired bully that somehow was taller than him.

"I'm so tired of you." Cardin said angrily.

"You and me both." AJ said simply. "I haven't even done anything today, so can you please just leave me alone?" He asked.

Cardin's response was to growl and then try and punch him in the face.

With no one but Jaune and Pyrrha to see it, AJ dodged by tilting his head slightly, and punched Cardin in the gut, causing him to collapse to his knees.

"Whatever happened to you to make you like this, I'm truly sorry that it happened." AJ whispered to him before casually walking forward down the hall to head to their table outside.

Jaune and Pyrrha finally unfroze and quickly followed AJ, walking past a shocked Cardin who seemed deep in thought about something.

'After everything I've done to him… he actually is sorry?' Cardin thought. 'Why? Why would he be sorry about me? Why doesn't he hate me!?'

"Why did you do that?" Pyrrha asked him hesitantly.

"He's only human, something had to make him like that." AJ answered without looking at her. "I hate him, but I feel bad for whatever must have happened to him. Maybe he lost family or something? Maybe he was bullied like I was? I don't know. I probably never will, he would never tell me something like that, but I don't care. I just hope that someone helps him someday, or he fixes it himself." They were stunned by his answer, and the fact that he hoped for a happy ending for someone like Cardin. "I just hope he ends up happy. That's what we should all get to be, happy." He said before he set his arms on the table to rest his head and he closed his eyes with a smile on his face.

Saturday, just after noon.

AJ heard a knock at the door and went to answer it. He opened the door and was greeted with Blake's smiling face.

"Hey Blake." He greeted her.

She suddenly hugged him. "How's your day been?" She asked him once she broke away from the hug.

He stared at her for a second and admired her smile before shaking his head. "Good. Though I've only been awake for maybe an hour." He chuckled.

After she greeted his mom he went up to his room and went back to the game he had paused. She sat down next to him and watched for awhile, occasionally making small talk and commenting on things as they always do. Joking and laughing and just enjoying the day, at first.

"You know… I'm not sure I would still be here if it wasn't for you." He said suddenly.

"What?" She asked, confused.

"I'm not sure I wouldn't have just sunk into a depression and killed myself if you hadn't followed me." He answered, shocking her.

She hadn't just been helping him with his emotions, she had saved his life.

"Why would you do that?" She asked, concerned.

"Cause ever since second grade people were jerks to me, for no reason most of the time." He answered. "I spent all of 6th grade, till the end of 8th grade, wanting to kill myself because everyone seemed to hate me and I was failing all my classes, partly because of it." He explained.

She felt overwhelmingly bad for him and hugged him to comfort him.

"I'm so sorry that happened to you." She said.

"It's alright. I just kind of stopped caring once high school started." He said. "I still hated people and hated life but had no intention of killing myself anymore."

"Please stop talking about it!" She said suddenly, on the verge of tears.

He looked up at her curiously. "What?" He asked, concerned and curious.

"I can't stand the thought of you killing yourself, so please stop!" She requested.

Now it was his turn to comfort her, he sat up straight and hugged her to his chest. "Alright, I'll stop. It's ok." He whispered to her till she calmed down. Eventually she did calm down and soon watched him play his games again. The only difference being that she held onto him the whole time, the thought of losing him not leaving her mind.

About half way through her visit she decided to take out her phone, put in her headphones, and started her favorite song. She didn't just listen to it though,

She put all her emotion into singing it. (This is the part where you start listening to the song)

"Light reflects from your, shadow. It is, more than I, thought could exist."

"You move through the room, like breathing was easy. If someone believed me,"

"They would be as in love with you as I am."

"They would be in, love… love… love…"

AJ had pulled part of his headset off so he could listen to her singing, and he kept glancing at her while she sang. She wasn't looking at him, just had her eyes closed as she sang.

"And every day, I'm learning about you, the things that no one, else sees."

"And the end comes too soon, like dreaming of Angels…"

He was astounded at how beautiful her singing voice sounded and had taken off his headset completely and was watching her as she let go of him, got up, and continued singing.

"And leaving without them…"

…

"And leaving without them…"

He couldn't help but stare at her. Her voice was even more beautiful than usual, she looked even more beautiful than normal, and he just wanted to tell her right then and there but he was too captivated to do anything but watch. Then she opened her eyes and her beautiful amber eyes stared back at him as she sang.

"Being as in love with you as I am."

"Being as in, love… love… love…"

And he froze when he realized what she was saying to him.

"Love… love… love…"

She slowly got back onto the bed and crawled towards him as she continued singing.

"And with words unspoken, a silent devotion. I know you know what, I mean."

"And the end is unknown,"

She had pinned him down as she stood on her hands and knees in front of him, her arms on either side of him and her face getting closer to his.

"But I think I'm ready,"

Her face was within inches of his and she closed her eyes.

"As long as you're with me."

And she kissed him.

(Quick! Pause the song!)

A very pleasant eternity later she broke the kiss and stared lovingly at him.

"I love you. I've loved you since I first met you. I can't wait any longer and I want to be with you." Blake said to him. She had put one hand on his chest and could feel his heart beating as fast as hers was.

He was still frozen in shock and disbelief for a bit before finally blinking. "Y-… You do?" He asked.

"Yes!" She answered. "I can tell that you need me, and I love every moment I'm around you, so there's no reason for me to wait any longer! I love you!" She said again.

"I… I love you too." He said finally and she felt an incredible amount of relief and hugged him. He returned the hug and held her tightly. She knew he liked her but was still worried about his response regardless.

"So… I guess I don't have to let go?" He asked her.

She giggled. "No, we can stay like this forever." She answered. They stayed like that for quite a few minutes before she spoke again. "I don't mean physically."

He chuckled. "I know. But, now I can metaphorically hold onto you forever."

"Yep." She nodded and smiled happily. "Let's turn the next page of our lives together." She whispered.

"I would like that." He whispered back, then chuckled. "And we'll start it from the beginning."

"How else would you read the page?" She asked rhetorically.

She sat in his lap as they listened to the song together. He thought he would never feel anything like this. This feeling, getting to hold her and know that they were together now, getting to smell her hair, getting to stare at her all he wanted to and she would simply stare back, getting to actually love someone and be loved back. This is by far the greatest feeling ever, of all time, and he wouldn't trade it for the world. He wished they could stay this way forever and that he could feel this way forever. He can't quite stay this way forever, like she said, but now the feeling is never that far away, and he can certainly feel this way every weekend. She feels the same too, because she also always wanted to feel this way. It was something they always dreamed of, and now they had it, it wasn't a fantasy anymore.

After hearing the song a few times he knew the lyrics well enough, and they began singing it together, all the way to the end this time.

(Ok, unpause!)

""Being as in love with you as I am…"" Blake got up and turned around to straddle him and looked him in the eyes while she wrapped her arms around his neck.

""Being as in love with you as I am…"" They stared into each other's eyes and smiled happily.

""Being as in love with you as I am…""

""Being as in,"" They began leaning in to kiss as they sang.

""Love…""

Love.

This is different. I've finished a fanfiction… I'm actually done. All my other fanfics haven't ended and they won't for a VERY long time, but this fic is different, it actually has an end… Huh… Yeah, this is different.

So, now that you've seen the ending, I would hope you could understand why I didn't have them get together till the very end! I wanted to do this ending since I began this story, and I wasn't going to do any other ending even if it meant that parts of this story didn't make sense. "Why didn't they get together in Ch.3?" Because that would have meant that this ending wouldn't have happened. I could have had a different version of it, sure, but I wanted this, and only this, nothing different.

So, now I say what I believe this song means. Once again, you don't have to agree with me, just don't argue with me about it. I'm also gonna stop writing in bold cause reasons.

Ok! Now that I'm out of bold text!

The entire song is a declaration of love, and also it's the phases of love. In this case, it's love at first sight.

Light reflects from your shadow

It is more than I thought could exist

You move through the room

Like breathing was easy

The moment of seeing someone and instantly being smitten with them, being in love with them. It feels like their every movement is magical. If that person could make someone else understand their feelings for you they would be "as in love with you as I am."

That one moment when you fall in love.

And every day

I'm learning about you

The things that no one else sees

And the end comes too soon

Like dreaming of angels

And leaving without them

This one seems obvious to me. Getting to know that person, getting to understand them, and, if you get close enough to them, you'll even learn things about them that other people wouldn't know. Like, actually being sensitive and wishing for someone to hold you and comfort you, as shown in this fic. Things like that aren't what people normally tell anyone, or at least they only tell people truly close to them. This part, this phase, of love also has a sense of yearning and wishing to be with them. When you have to get off the phone with them, when you have to go to bed and stop texting them, when you have to leave their house, or they have to leave yours, it's like "dreaming of angels, and leaving without them".

Getting to know them, and hating whenever you have to leave them.

And with words unspoken

A silent devotion

I know you know what I mean

And the end is unknown

But I think I'm ready

As long as you're with me

Committing to the relationship, admitting feelings, getting together, etc. When the two finally decide they feel the same way about each other and want to be together. You don't know what live holds for you, you don't know what the end will be like, but "As long as you're with me" that's ok.

Being together and being happy.

I hope you, reader, live happily with someone someday, or you already do. Who knows? Maybe I will someday as well. Although, in real life, I won't take as long as I did in this fic! XD

Don't flame in the reviews (This story is personal at points for me, so I would appreciate it if you would not be rude if you do review), I would say follow and or favorite but the only thing you might do now is favorite so you could read this again at some point for some reason, cause this story is OVER!

Since this fic is over now, this is the last time you'll see it updated and all that, could you guys just leave a simple review saying you enjoyed? Only if you actually did enjoy, of course, but seriously, I have one review on this story and it was on the first chapter. I don't want to request reviews or anything, but I would really like to know if any of you actually liked this story, at all, or if it impacted you at any point. I just want to leave this story knowing some of you actually liked it. I remember on my first fic, someone said they never reviewed because they saw nothing wrong with the story. I actually would like you to leave reviews that were just saying you enjoyed, cause that lets me know I'm actually doing something right for once! I'M RAMBLING AGAIN I'M SORRY! It just kind of annoys me that no one has said anything, not even someone saying I'm doing everything wrong (I said DON'T flame!), or that I could improve (I know I could, you don't have to tell me). I hate asking you guys for compliments, cause that's wrong, but I just really want someone to say something! Preferably something nice, but something, please. I put a lot of work into my fics just to get 1 review. I'll stop now… anyway!

Have a great week everyone! I mean it! I truly do! *Waves goodbye*
