As soon as Bumblebee was parked in the garage, Yang dragged herself inside and collapsed on the lounge.

"You ok?" Ruby asked, walking over to her sister's side.

"Exhausted." Yang mumbled, her voice muffled by the lounge.

"Do you want me to get you anything?" Ruby asked, waiting until Yang shook her head before making her way up to her room to start her homework.

Once she was sure Ruby was out of the room, Yang rolled over and pulled the small piece of paper out of her pocket.

'Blake actually smiled, that means I didn't completely mess up.' Yang thought before starting freaking again. Shit, what do I do when I meet up with her? What if I mess that up?'

"Yang stop worrying!" Ruby called from upstairs. "And can you come here for a minute?"

"I'm not worrying!" Yang called back, trying to not have her voice crack as she made her way upstairs.

Leaning against the door frame to Ruby's bedroom, Yang let her eyes wander around the red walled room. Ruby's room hadn't changed all that much from when they had moved in with Qrow. Besides a bigger bed and a few new posters, it still had the haphazardly put together tallboy in and bedside tables Qrow had built for the sisters.

so … what's up?" Yang asked, finally directing her attention to Ruby.

"I need Sun's number and I needed you to go over this with me." Ruby answered, staring intently at the only math problem she hadn't solved on her homework.

"Are you trying to hook up with our resident monkey?" Yang teased, using her jokes as a distraction. "and as for the math, aren't you supposed to be a super genius?"

"No, I need to meet up with him for this stupid report." Ruby sighed, already knowing how Yang could get. "and I'm not a super genius."

"Fine, gimme ya scroll." Yang said, taking the presented scroll and entering Sun's number under monkey lover. "There, now you can call him."

"Thanks Yang, now can you help me with this?" Ruby asked, not noticing what Yang had called Sun in her scroll.

"Rubes, you've been able to solve these equations since you were thirteen." Yang sighed, figuring out what Ruby was trying to do. "You don't need to make excuses to distract me."

"W-What I wasn't doing that." Ruby replied, clearly lying.

"Rubes don't worry, I'm fine." Yang smiled down at her sister, trying to convey that everything really was ok.

"Just promise you'll talk to me if something's wrong, please?" Ruby implored, using her best puppy dog expression.

"I promise Rubes. Now I'm going to get changed and put a load of laundry on, you need anything washed?" Yang asked, halfway out the door.

"Nope, all mines in the washing basket." Ruby replied, popping the p in nope.

"After I'm done, can you give me a hand with my homework before I cook dinner?" Yang called from her room, stripping out of her uniform.

"Sure Yang." Ruby called back before calling Sun to organise when to meet up.

There was a set routine in the house, Yang would start cooking dinner at five, Both sisters would have their homework finished before then and Qrow would get home around the time Yang finished cooking unless a case kept him out.

Yang had nearly finished dinner when she heard the front door.

"Hey firecracker." Qrow said, slurring slightly as he closed the front door and took another drink from him flask.

"Hey Qrow." Yang replied, her eyelids drooping as she stirred dinner. "How was work?"

Qrow worked for the Vale police department as a detective. Though he turned up to work at least hungover, the chief of police wouldn't fire him because of his time spent in the special forces, the same time that had caused him to start drinking.

"The usual, couple idiot kids broke into someone's house."Qrow answered, sitting at the dining room table.

"I don't know them do I?" Yang asked, sitting down in the chair opposite her uncle.

"Nah, they're from the next town over." Qrow answered, scratching at the stubble on his chin. "So what's for dinner?"

Just something easy, I'm too tired for anything complex." Yang yawned as she made her way back into the kitchen.

"Guessing today was a rollercoaster then." Qrow said, moving to the kitchen to help Yang.

"Yeah, first day back and we were given a pairs assignment. I got paired with a girl I've never met before so that didn't go well." Yang sighed, turning off the stove and moving the pot closer to the plates.

"So I should expect to meet your new friend soon then?" Qrow asked, grabbing a couple bowls and carrying them over to the dining table to help Yang.

"She's not coming around here." Yang stated, gripping the countertop.

"Yang, you know I don't care if your friends come around." Qrow replied before Yang spun around.

"If I have people over, then I have to explain why my sister and I live with our uncle and not our father!" Yang nearly shouted, her hands closing into fists whenever she mentioned Tai.

"Okay, I get it." Qrow sighed, knowing there was no way to argue with Yang on this.

"I'm going to send Rubes down for dinner and probably go to bed." Yang said, her shoulder slumped. "Is that ok?"

"Sure kid, just make sure you eat something before school tomorrow for me." Qrow replied, smiling at Yang as she made her way upstairs.

Yang's sleep had been had been plagued with dreams about her study session with Blake, from normal worries like Blake finding out about Yang's family to obscene ones like Yang turning up on Blake's doorstep naked.

Tossing and turning after the last nightmare, Yang huffed, sat up and looking at the clock next to her to find out it was only three in the morning.

Yang begrudgingly made her way downstairs and into the kitchen, looking in the fridge for her dinner that Qrow had covered in foil.

Having heated it up in the microwave, Yang sat down and dug into her food, all while thinking about what Friday afternoon could entail.

'You know it's not going to be as bad as you keep making it out in your head, you just need to stop, breathe and think. You're going over to her house, studying the book they gave you and writing up a report, you've done this a hundred times with your friends you can do it again.' Yang thought, doing her best to calm her nerves down.

Feeling better, Yang enjoyed the rest of her meal and waited for Ruby to wake up so the sisters could get ready for another day of school.
