These are all going to be short, simple Bumbleby stories. I wanted a single place to put together any of the random story ideas I had. Essentially just a place for a lot of fluff. There won't be any real connectivity between the chapters except the fact that, unless otherwise stated, they're all set at Beacon before Volume 3.

Giving Notice

Blake considered her options. She could kill her, obviously. Maybe not in a straight fight, but they did sleep in the same room every night. It wouldn't be that difficult. Not that she wanted to do it. Blake would miss her terribly, and the guilt would likely consume her. She put that aside as a problematic yet effective solution and kept thinking.

She could always run away in the night. However, it would cost her all of her friends, which wasn't exactly ideal. And, realistically, all it would do would be delay the inevitable. Yang Xiao Long was a skilled and determined woman, and Blake had no doubt she would eventually track her down. Putting her back at square one.

She could just go confront Yang, walk straight up to her and have an honest discussion about it. Blake felt panic rising in her at the very thought of it and dismissed it out of hand. There was no way she could ever manage to have that discussion with her.

All of which left her with only one realistic option: ignore the issue entirely. Completely pretend it never happened and change the subject if Yang ever mentioned it. Blake nodded to herself, satisfied. It wasn't really a great solution, but it was all she could do. She would just have to make it work.

First, though, she would need to find the extent of the damage. She looked back down at the bed and grabbed the cursed object off her pillow. She knew the title said Ninjas of Love, but she couldn't see the front under the big yellow paper taped on reading "Great read Blakey! Can't wait to try some of these out!" She quickly ripped the page off the cover, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it in the trash. She then took a deep breath, mentally preparing herself, and started going through the new marks on the book.

She felt her embarrassment shoot up as she continued reading. Yang had managed to find and highlight all of the dirtiest scenes and had taken notes in the margins by all of them.

"Do you think you're flexible enough for this?", "I bet Gambol Shroud could work for that!", "I don't know where we would even find one of those.", "We're definitely trying this one soon.", "Can't wait to see you in that", "I don't think that could even fit in there!", "Do you think Pyrrha would let us borrow hers?"

It went on and on and on. Eventually she couldn't take anymore; she threw the book to the side and put her head in her hands. How could she possibly look Yang in the eye after this?

Yang walked up behind her partner as she was eating lunch. She put her hand around Blake's shoulder and sat down right next to her, using her arm to pull them close together. It was the same way she always sat down when Blake was already eating. Usually, Blake just ignored it or rolled her eyes in annoyance. This time, she jumped almost halfway to the other end of the table. "Hey Yang." She stammered out.

Yang had never heard Blake stammer before. Never. Suddenly worried, she immediately reached out her hand towards Blake. "Sweetie, are you okay? What's wrong?"

When she saw Yang's hand, Blake backed away and shot up. "Nothing, nothing is wrong. I remembered I need to go study. See you later." With that, she turned and almost sprinted out of the room. Yang leapt up and ran after her, calling her name to try and get her to stop.

"Ruby Rose, you are an evil, devious woman." Weiss said as they both watched their teammates run out of the cafeteria. Ruby looked up at her and gave her a wide, innocent smile.

"Whatever do you mean, Weiss? I didn't have anything to do with that."

"Sure you didn't. How did you fake Yang's handwriting?"

"She is my sister, it wasn't that hard to do."

"And you don't feel bad at all about messing with them like this?"

"Nope, it'll be good for their relationship. Blake needs to be willing to be more open with Yang if it's going to work out. Trust me, they'll be thanking me later." Ruby then gave a sly little smile. "Plus, who knows. Maybe trying some of that stuff out will be a fun bonding experience for them."

Weiss glared at her. "Seriously, Ruby? Your sister is bad enough, I'm not dealing with two of you on the team." Ruby just laughed.

"Fine, I'll stop. We have more important things to talk about anyway." Ruby suddenly had a wicked glint in her eyes and, reaching below her, she pulled out a stack of notes. A rather large stack. "Since I was already reading it, I decided to take some notes for myself of the fun ones. Here's where I'm thinking we'll start..."

And there we go, with a little White Rose thrown in at the end. I hope you enjoyed it.

As for new chapters, I'm not going to commit to any real schedule. I'll post new ones whenever I come up with an idea I like. Which will probably mean sometimes weekly chapters and sometimes monthly or longer.

If you did enjoy it, check out my similar White Rose collection "Snow Petals". Essentially the opposite of this, White Rose focused with a side of Bumbleby.
