It was a cute bow.

[ yang tenses in surprise while the scene plays out in her mind. hate her? hate blake? the idea is so absurd that she has to fight down a laugh. no, never. ruby and weiss always held out hope blake would return once she'd exorcised her demons.

and yang? she tried to hate her.

and blake ran! sun saw her go. after we got to the city, she just...ran!

but...why?

i don't know...and i don't care.

she tried.

why would i want her here?

and utterly failed.

no one blamed her for anything! if she had just talked to us, she would've known that! how could i be there for her if she doesn't let me?

what if i needed her here for me? ]

[kintsugambol]

[ oh.

oh.

blake tenses, but doesn't pull away from her, doesn't do anything to make it seem as if the moment is gone.

so she decides to show her what happened before she ran.

and as i set out upon this world and deliver the justice mankind so greatly deserves, i will make it my mission to destroy everything you love.

blake! blake, where are you?!

starting with her.

moving in front of yang while she was down, between her and what surely would've been a killing blow. why must you hurt me, blake? before adam beheaded the shadow left behind. carrying yang away, even with the pain of her own wound and the blood she was losing, more focused on her.

she remembers tearful apologies to an unconscious yang, once they'd gotten to beacon's courtyard, curling up on herself in guilt and pain as she held her hand like a lifeline.

i'm sorry. i'm so sorry. ]

[thepunshow]

[ yang forgets how to breathe while the scene plays out in her mind. she always assumed blake was scared away by something at the fall of beacon, but this.... everything makes sense now. blake hadn't run away to save herself. not like raven. (and there's a brief flash of an older woman who could be yang's double if it weren't for her black hair and calculating, red eyes.) she had distanced herself in an attempt to protect them. protect her.

and she came back for them when they needed her most. came back for her.

she pulls blake into her lap without a word and shows her more of their time apart.

relaxing in her bedroom in patch with a half smile on her face, deep into a copy of the man with two souls by the light of the shattered moon

lovingly brushing her thumb over blake's face in a team rwby photo from their beacon days

roaring through a forest in argus on bumblebee with the same racing, looping thoughts: she has to find her, she can't let it happen again, she won't let it happen again, she's on her way, almost there....

yang presses her face into blake's hair with a sigh, staying silent for now. she doesn't want to shatter the peace with her clumsy words. ]

[kintsugambol]

[ blake remembers yang opening up to her about raven, and it's not hard to piece together who that woman was from that. so yang found her, then? she lets the curiosity float in the link but doesn't say anything, burying her face in the crook of yang's neck.

she's never leaving yang again. and even if they're separated, she'll always find her way back. blake's resolved on that much. this place is a nightmare in so many ways, but... they have each other. and their team, their family, will be back together soon. blake's heart feels too full for her chest, and she tightens her hold on yang, melting into the embrace. there are glimpses of their night at the club: blake looking at the sunflower pop cap and pocketing it, their toast, discussing the man with two souls (represents something you didn't know you had inside you... sometimes, it's exciting).

there's so much she wants to say, doesn't know how to say. she wants to give this woman the entire world. ]

We're okay. [ she rubs circles between yang's shoulderblades, the gold ring on her index finger cool on her skin. ] Everything's going to be okay.

[thepunshow]

[ yang relaxes at her touch, letting go of the many anxieties that are plaguing her. blake always knew just what to do and what to say when it mattered the most. the lingering unanswered question gets something close to a sigh of promise to tell you later through the link. raven is the topic of a very long conversation for another day.

oh, man, the club...the first of many outings. there is a hint of surprise to see blake keeping the cap of sunflower pop. she idly wonders if was left behind in beacon, but doesn't push that through the link. not important enough. in spite of the explosive end to the night, their conversation about the book overshadowed everything else.

whatever feelings inside her in regards to their relationship--complicated and wild as they are--were exciting. and if blake was always looking to find her way back, yang would always meet her halfway with open arms. ]

You're right. [ she wants to say more, do more, always more. blake deserves to know that someone will always want be more for her. instead, yang lightly grips her partner's top and kisses the top of her head. ] It'll all be okay.
