Chapter 1:

The serenity Yang was feeling, it was unimaginable to her just a couple of years ago. In her arms was a woman she was still head over heels for. Her sister was no longer in that terrible relationship with a woman Yang still refused to even speak her name. Yang pulled the woman in her arms closer, already missing the warmth that had never left her. She just desired the source to be even closer.

Coco, felt Yang pull her closer and quickly got comfortable again. She still felt happy about how her friend talked her into going to that party just over a couple of years ago. How else was she meant to have met her Blonde haired lover. Sure at some points it was rough, but that was only when Yang's little sister was in that terrible relationship.

The only thing Coco knew for a fact, is whoever is shaking her had best have a very good reason. She wasn't asleep that long and she valued her sleep. If they didn't have a valid reason... well all Coco knew was going to happen is some violent cursing.

Coco's eyes snapped open. She knew it was going to be one of two people. And because they didn't speak it meant it was Ruby. Coco sat up, much to the blonde woman's disappointment and pushed her awake as she turned on the nearest lamp. Yang's bleary eyes opened to see Coco rubbing the sleep out of her eyes and Ruby standing on the opposite side of where Yang was.

"Yang, I love you but I can't have your sister waking me up on a nightly basis to ask if she can sleep in your bed." Coco said as Ruby climbed up onto the bed to get closer to Yang.

'I know I saw her this time Yang. I'm scared.' Ruby signed. As Coco rolled her eyes. "Okay, I may not have the same experience with sign as you do, but I know enough to decipher that. She thinks she saw Pyrrha again right?" Coco asked as Yang moved the blanket to go and do what has become the nightly ritual of checking the area outside Ruby's windows, and the closet, even under her bed.

"I'm sorry Coco. If my dad wasn't on call you know she would have gone to him. So at least be glad he has his holidays coming up that Ozpin is forcing him to take. So we can stay at your place." Yang sighed standing up as Ruby hid behind her. The fear was ever present that Ruby wasn't just losing whatever shred of sanity she had left. The trio were at their wit's end, for the entire year since Ruby came home she started to see Pyrrha everywhere. It always became worse at night.

Always when Ruby was right about to close her eyes, and drift off into her own peaceful sleep. Coco knew Yang wasn't wrong. If Tai was off, and she was over, Ruby would have gone to him. Coco was going to speak up about how she was heading back to sleep but she knew Yang already knew that. She rolled onto her side and pulled the blanket all the way up to her head and curled up into a ball to try and warm up until her blonde haired baker returned.

Yang walked the short distance into Ruby's room and turned the light on. She quickly walked over to the closet and quickly pulled the drawstring to illuminate the darkness. She pushed some of the clothes around, 'Well, Rubes does have a lot of black and red clothes, nothing I didn't already know.' Yang thought as Ruby clung just behind Yang.

Yang reached for the flashlight that Ruby kept just on top of her nightstand. She laid down on her stomach as she turned the light on. She shined the beam under the bed, waiting for Ruby to see that nothing was in fact under there. 'And she really needs to throw some of this crap out.' Yang thought as Ruby tugged on her shirt to signify it was okay to search the final place so Ruby feels safe for another night in her room.

Yang stood up fast, just wanting to crawl back into her bed with Coco. Hoping that Ruby would feel safe enough in her own room, that she wouldn't crawl into bed with Yang. Ruby knew almost evilly that Yang could rarely saw no to her. Especially when she didn't feel safe. Yang shined the incandescent beam out the window, she quickly made a few passes with it. She turned the small light producing object off and turned back to Ruby.

'There isn't anything Ruby. I checked the closet, under your bed and outside the window.' Yang signed as she tossed the flashlight onto Ruby's bed. She crossed her arms to await for a response from her little sister.

'I know what I saw Yang.' Ruby defended what she saw. She had always held out hope, that Yang would still believe her. The number of people that would believe her would slowly drop, each time she asked anyone to check for her.

'I'm not doubting that Ruby, all I'm saying is whatever you saw isn't there anymore.' Yang signed as Ruby looked down trodden at Yang's statement. 'I still believe you saw her Ruby, but she isn't here. Get some sleep Ruby, you do still need to teach sign to people tomorrow which you can't do tired.' Yang continued, moving her blanket on Ruby's bed partially for her to climb in.

Like a flash of lightning, Ruby was under the covers. She held the covers around her head as Yang sat down on the corner of the bed. 'Now get some sleep Ruby, I'll bring you home some fresh cookies tomorrow.' Yang signed as Ruby nodded and rested her head on her pillow. Yang stayed sitting as she began to run her fingers through Ruby's hair, lulling her back into a calming sleep.

Yang stood up after a few minutes of Ruby's breath calming into a steady rhythm, She closed Ruby's door, and walked back into her room, frowning at the sound of Coco snoring, and the blanket wrapped around her. 'She didn't need to swaddle herself in my blanket. This is going to be fun.' Yang thought, as she attempted to climb into her bed. Attempting being the key word. It was one of the main things Yang had learned over the years. When Coco wants to hog the blankets then no force in heaven or hell could wrestle the control back.

"Fuck. At least it is in the middle of summer." Yang muttered as she just laid down and pulled the cocoon of Coco and her blankets closer, just in case the night was to get colder. Perhaps Coco may at some stage invite Yang into her cocoon.

Coco awoke to what became the tradition, some classical music was playing and she was wrapped tightly in Yang's blanket, with the blonde woman holding onto her. Begging for Coco to share some of the cotton, godsend. While Coco was comfortable the only problem was Yang had a job she was meant to go to, and she had no idea what time it was.

"Yang. Get up." Coco all but yelled, knowing that Yang would be the only person in the house to hear it. She knew Tai would still be at the hospital, and Qrow rarely showed up in the morning. It was as safe a bet as any, that Yang would be the only person to hear her yelling.

"Two more minutes. That is all I want." Yang muttered, refusing to rouse from her comfortable place. She would take any extra second she could of sleep. Between Ruby waking her nightly, and having to open the bakery for the last three days, the late shift she decided to take was nice. The only problem was having Coco wake her up so early. The worst part was Coco knew about her late shift.

"Yang, I'm hungry. And too warm. Come on. I also still have a job I need to get to." Coco complained as Yang let out a loud groan as she reluctantly let go of her comfortable position as Coco unsawadle herself, "If you get up now, we may be able to get some time in the shower... of course if you want to stay in bed I'll understand." Coco spoke in her sultry tone as Yang practically jumped out of her bed.

"Right let's go. No point letting that hot water go to waste." Yang rushed out, as Coco smirked how easy is was to manipulate Yang. Not that she would ever confess to something as heinous as to manipulating her girlfriend. Just as Coco walked out of the room, She could see Yang tapping her foot impatiently at how long it was taking her. "Come on Coco. You can't promise something like shower time and take so long." Yang complained as Coco smirked.

"Good things always come to those who wait Yang. And if you recall, I never promised anything of the sort. Just that you could join me. If you want to do that, you'll need to give me something very good in return. Say those special cookies, that you only make when Ruby puts you in the dog house." Coco spoke in a tone like a mother would use to scold her child.

"Fine. I'll make some." Yang stated aloud as Coco walked into the bathroom. 'Now all I need is an excuse on the Ruby end of things to warrant the need to make them.' Yang thought as she followed in the brunette temptress.

Ruby sat in her spot looking down at the drawing before her. One she had been working on for a few days at this point. She had started over a few times not liking the various problems that arose. From her pencil point breaking, distorting the lines to her just not being happy with how the raw drawing turned out, happy that she caught it before she started to ink the drawing. She still had time to erase the lines.

As she stared into what most would look at and say it was just a nest of various lines that would be impossible to single out the ones she had intended to be the final ones, a feat her closest friends have attempted to figure it out, and failing every time. Ruby enjoyed that slightly more than she would care to admit, but it was nice to see them trying to comprehend what it was going to be.

She quickly looked to the clock on the wall and noticed the time. 'Coco should be getting up for her to get to work.' Ruby thought as she stood up, and began to ascend the stairs, to wake the fashionista a second time in under twelve hours. She knew Coco would be angry but it is nearly twelve and Ruby knew Coco had to be in work at half past one. She was sure Coco would be cross but she would thank her in the long run.

As Ruby walked into Yang's room assuming that the duo would still be asleep, but as she opened the door, for the first time in her entire life she wished she was blind as well. She quickly stormed out knocking into something but not slowing her stride down. She wanted to get as far away from that scene. She wasn't sure how she was going to be able to get the image out of her mind. As she ran down the stairs.

She was already dreading the awkward conversation Yang was going to have with her. While Ruby knew she was partially at fault for just walking in, but they both knew that, that was what she did. And normally when they ever did something like that they locked the door. Or that is what Ruby assumed they did when they walked into Yang's room and locked the door. But thinking they do something like that and seeing it are two different things. A difference she never wanted to know. But know she did.

She sat down on the couch, ignoring her drawing, and supplies in favour of the vibrations still coming from music. 'This is not happening... maybe they were just cuddling... naked. Yeah that idea is stupid.' Ruby thought as she could see from the corner of her eyes Yang coming into the room.

'I'm so sorry Ruby. I thought we locked the door.' Yang signed as Ruby glared at her. 'Why did you come into my room anyway?' Yang attempted to scold her sister as Ruby glared at her, at Yang attempting to take the moral high ground.

'One, you will not take the high ground, especially when you didn't lock the door. Two, I was going to make sure Coco was awake so she can make her shift.' Ruby angrily signed as Yang glared back at the small red head. 'welp found my excuse... I just wish it was something where I intentionally did it... not her walking in on me and Coco.' Yang thought as Coco came down slightly flustered, at how Ruby had walked in on her and Yang.

"Tell her I'm sorry." Coco stated as Yang looked quickly to Coco and back to Ruby. 'Coco says she is sorry. And I promise you Ruby it won't happen again.' Yang signed as Ruby's glare softened.

'If it does I'm telling everyone who will listen what gets on your nerves.' Ruby threatened as Yang began to to sign, 'Okay.'

Author's Note:

Okay, this is shorter than my normal standards. I know, but as I'm writing this, I'm sick as a dog and just want to crawl under my blanket with a cup of hot cocoa and sleep this damn cold off. But I planned to get this out today. And I sorta have been a stinker and have like ninety percent of this story planned. So I hope you guys like this chapter, the second probably won't be up till sometime in January. I gotta spend time with the family, so I won't have any time to edit anything, hence why this is done so early. But let me know what you guys think will happen with the plot of this. I enjoy reading all of your theories., and you never know you may hit the nail on the head.
