in this AU Ruby and Yang are not sisters, Ruby is not Younger either, sort of wanted to see what she would be if things were a bit different :3 hope you enjoy

chapter one: awareness

It was Sunday night, the summer weather wasn't dead hot in Vale, it was more enjoyable than anything really. Three girls sat in the living room of the apartment they shared, Blake, Ruby and Yang. The blonde seemed to be caught up in some texting on her phone, Ruby was playing the new halo 5 game.

"OW man! That piece of crap has a shotgun"

The brunnete with red shades complained

"Ruby, you've been playing that for hours, don't you get tired?"

Blake placed Ruby's hood over her head to tease her

"Gahh Blake! Don't distract me"

She hissed as she smoothed her red hoodie while she waited to respawn, Blake smiled a bit, but it disappeared when she saw the blonde's tired face

"Yang..?"

Yang looked up at her, she noticed Blake's worried face and she smiled apologetically

"Don't worry Blake, I was just being weird over a few things, but everything's just fine"

Blake didn't buy that of course, Yang and her have been best friends since kindergarten, it was easy to see through the blonde, Ruby interrupted

"Uhuh, probably your girlfriend"

Yang frowned playfully

"You don't even have a girlfriend Rubes, what would you know?"

Ruby stood up

"I'm taller than Blake now, so I know plenty now that I have a better look of things"

They decided to live together on their last year of highschool and have been really close since they met Each girl was good at something, Yang was the captain of the soccer team, Ruby was the "queen" of run track as she liked to say, and Blake was very good in the gymnastics team.

"So I don't have one because I don't want to, I can have any booty if I wished to"

Blake threw the book she was reading to Ruby's back

"Ruby, don't talk like that about girls"

Ruby smirked

"Sorry Blake Bellabooty"

The brows above the silver eyes wiggled, causing Yang to laugh at the scene as Blake blushed like a tomato. After a few more hours of shooting noises and random chat they decided it was time to go to bed. The next morning was a crazy one, Yang and Ruby were up way past the right hour and they were making a mess everywhere in a rush as Blake sat calmly on the kitchen counter

"Why didn't you wake us!?"

Yang yelled as she jumped on one foot, struggling to put a shoe on the other

"Yeah! You're so mean"

Ruby yelled from the other side of the kitchen with a mouthful of a sandwich. Yang ran for her life to her yellow Ferrari parked to the right of Ruby's red Lamborghini. Ruby and Blake saw her rush away with the growl of the motor and yelling from other people.

"She probably ran pass a few red lights there"

Blake said clearly concerned about the blonde, Ruby patted the obsidian haired girl on the shoulder

"She'll be fine, I wonder why she's not using the bike anymore"

Blake sighed at that and looked down, she knew the reason and it wasn't anything about comfort for sure

"Let's go"

Ruby didn't notice and motioned for her to hop in the car, even though Blake had her own car, she usually left on Ruby's because of the whole gas deal. The ride to Beacon College was mostly Ruby babblering about videogames and running, Blake kept her eyes on the window, a bit lost in thought. When they got to the parking Ruby looked at Blake, her face had a serious shade to it

"Are you okay? You've been more quiet than usual"

Blake kept silent for a moment or two before taking a deep breath

"I just- it's nothing, just a bit worried about Yang"

She was about to get outside, but a grip on her arm stopped her and pulled her back "

What about Yang?"

Ruby questioned with a smirk, making Blake blush slightly, it was obvious for everyone but the blonde that the amber eyed girl saw her in a different more than friends way. When she was about to speak, Yang's car arrived and parked near them, the blonde stepped outside and made her way to the passenger's seat, she opened the door to reveal a snow haired chick, she was wearing a sky blue short skirt, a pair of white heels and a matching white blouse, contrasting with Yang's more casual jeans and yellow tank top. She handed Yang something like a sport bag and stepped out of the car, the blonde looked at her like a lost puppy, like she was the most beautiful thing that have walked on earth

"Don't just stand there Yang, you look like a drunk jock"

Yang nodded and followed quickly

"Yeah but..Weiss?"

The blue eyes rolled in annoyance, Yang made another puppy look, Weiss arched a brow before she sighed

"So big and so childish"

Yang smiled nonetheless, pulling Weiss by the waist and kissing her softly, it was a short, chaste kiss that made the shorter girl smile a bit, she rolled her blue eyes again and took Yang's hand

"Such a dork"

The pair left towards the campus without further display Meanwhile in Ruby's car Blake groaned looking back at her friend

"I hate that she treats Yang like that"

Ruby sighed and kept quiet, Blake continued with her rant

"You know? Yang doesn't uses her bike because Weiss doesn't likes it"

The brunette's eyes followed the couple until they left sight range, she seemed out of it when she spoke next

"And she's so beautiful ..."

Blake lifted her brows in surprise, her voice showing the same feature

"Yeah.. You are into Yang too?"

Ruby snapped out of her trance and jumped on her seat

"What? No! In meant- wait, too?"

She turned the cards in her favor, nor that it would do much

"Ruby you're being weird"

Blake crossed her arms and closed her eyes, tilting her head away, Ruby cackled as she pat the wheel

"We suck!"

The brunette took a deep breath and looked around, as if someone could be listening, once she was sure no one was obliviously with an ear stuck on the window of the car she spoke

"I won't tell Yang you like her if you don't tell her I like Weiss "

Blake sighed and opened the car's door again

" yeah, let's not talk about it "

The day was normal pretty much, besides the excitement of coming back from summer vacations, Yang would have an opening game against Mystral's college, it was a friendly match, but it served to make the day way less boring. Blake left a few text books on her locker, she wasn't in the best of moods, having to see Weiss ordering Yang around in the halls was annoying, and it got worse when her friend had to beg for affection

"Blakey!"

Speaking of the devil, Yang stood behind her, her voice startled the black haired girl, Blake turned around to face her after she close the locker, immediately, the taller woman trapped her, placing her hands against the lockers and leaving Blake between them, she tried to keep a neutral face

"What are you doing?

" She asked plainly

"You're going to watch the game riiiiight?" You've got to!"

Blake rolled her eyes and nodded

"Sure, I guess"

The blonde gave her a sunny smile as she lowered her arms, she was wearing her uniform already, red shorts and shirt, her custom yellow soccer shoes and wine colored socks, her hair was up in a ponytail and Blake, she had to remember not to stare

"That's awesome Blakey, um.. Hey? Do you think Weiss will be there?"

Yang seemed worried, Weiss didn't like to stay after school, saying she had plenty of better things to do than watch people run after a ball. Blake knew her well enough, Weiss Schnee, daddy's girl, could use money as napkins, leader of the gymnastics team, and cheerleader when the serious games required that sort of thing.

"I.. I hope so Yang, don't worry okay?"

The answer didn't seem to ease the blonde, but she gave another small smile anyway before nodding and running off to the field probably Blake saw her go, the gloomy feeling getting worse

"Hey there beauty"

A voice interrupted her train of thoughts again, it was another blonde this time, but it was a him now, the sky eyed man winked at her, he was one of those type of guys who felt like everyone would die for his perfect body and blonde hair, everyone but Blake that is, he was kinda nice to be around though, when he wasn't flirting non stop

"Hey Sun, I was about to leave and find Ruby, someone needs to keep her away from the Mystral girls"

The guy smirked

"She's on the soccer field already, eating like five packs of cookies though"

They started to walk there, the closer they got the more crowded it seemed to be

"Ow man, the Mistral girls are probably super pretty to have everyone excited over this "

Blake sighed quietly, she never liked crowded areas, quiet was always the best choice on her list, but she'd always sacrifice little things like that to support her best friend. Both made their way to the spectator grades and spot Ruby right away, she was sitting with another blonde, Jaune who was chatting with the brunette, a really noisy red head called Nora and, thankfully Ren, someone who was quiet and calm

"Hey peeps! Here for Pyrrha and Yangbaraaang?"

Sun called out, the group looked up at them, Nora stood up babbling about how great this match would be, Blake sat besides Ruby and frowned lightly

"Hey.. Have you seen Weiss?"

Ruby seemed confused for a second, blushing slightly

"Its not like I stalk the ice queen Blake"

Both laughed lightly at this, though it was worrying, it meant a lot for Yang that Weiss showed up to her games, therefore it was also important for Blake. The group kept chatting about random things, mostly finding funny that the school organized a game to keep students from taking extra vacations, it was smart they guessed, but still, funny. The game started and it was anything but exciting, both teams played pretty good, the only goal appeared on the second half of the game with a precise center pass from Pyrrha to Yang who was in the small area, only thing left to do was to push the ball and score . The two players waved at her friends, Yang seemed a bit off, Blake and Ruby noticed how her face changed from worried to utterly happy and finally to..disgust. They followed Yang's gaze, finding a known white head , but she was with someone else, a taller woman with dark hair.

"Hey Blake? Isn't that Adam's cousin?"

Ruby asked, her voice a little lower so only Blake would listen

"Yeah.. That's ... Cinder, why is she with Weiss though?"

so that was it for now :) Sorry if it's awkward but English.. Not my first language , also, Im sorry with the whole cousins xD i have a point with that I promise xD anyway I hope you guys like it, review and all :3 love you 3
