Equivalent Exchange (Fem!reader x Yang Xiao Long)

Troublesome

Procrastination and school are a pain. Also, I just didn't really like this episode.

My writing style has changed a bit so here's your warning.
‐----------------------------------------------------------------

(Y/n)'s pov

We were watching Pyrrha fight off all of Team CRDL. Her fighting style is very impressive. Combined with her Polarity, she's nearly untouchable.

Goodwitch:
Alright, that match may be a difficult one to follow, but we have time for one more. Any volunteers? Miss Belladonna? You have been quite passive for the past couple of classes. Why don--

???:
I'll do it.

Goodwitch:
Mercury, is it? Well then, you're opponent will be...

Mercury:
Nah, I want to fight... Her.

He pointed directly at me.

Goodwitch:
Do you accept, Miss (L/n)

(Y/n):
Sure, why not?

We both enter the battlefield and he tries to size me up.

Mercury:
This should be a piece of cake.

He charges at me with a kick as I transmute my yo-yo into a shield. Metal on metal. Interesting...

(Y/n):
You picked me because you thought it'd be easy? That says a lot more about your skills than mine.

I knocked his leg away to insure the sound came from there and not from his shoe. As I expect, there's another metallic clang. He backs off and tries to approach again, but I throw my shield at him knocking him back further.

I pull it back and transmute it back into a yo-yo and put on an ignition glove. I dodge a projectile that he shot at me and dash towards him. Once I get closer and get closer to snapping, he turns away from me.

Mercury:
I forfeit.

Goodwitch:
(Y/n) (L/n) is the victor.

(Y/n):
Easy, huh?

Mercury:
I guess I was wrong.

The bell rings as I rejoin RWBY.

Goodwitch:
That is all for today. And remember, the dance is this weekend. But you all have your first mission on Monday. I will not accept any excuses.

We leave and Sun tries to make a move on Blake.

Yang:
You were pretty good today.

(Y/n):
I was alright. I didn't do much in that fight.

Yang:
Well, I still thought it was cool. Just accept the compliment.

(Y/n):
Fine, thank you.

* * *

Ruby:
We want you to go to the dance.

Blake:
This is ridiculous.

Yang:
We're just worried, Blake.

(Y/n):
You haven't been the same since the investigation.

Weiss:
You hardly sleep, you don't eat, and in all honesty, your grades have suffered.

Blake:
You think I care about grades! People are suffering!

Yang:
We know, and that's why we're still trying to figure out what Torchwick is up to.

Ruby:
And thanks to you and Sun we know he's planning something southeast of Vale.

Weiss:
And that the Schnee Dust Company has been their primary target for dust robberies for the past few months.

Blake:
But we still have so many unanswered questions!

(Y/n):
And running around with little to no sleep won't produce any. You'll either get very sick or drive yourself to an early grave.

Yang:
We're just asking you to take it easy for one day.

Weiss:
It will be fun! Yang and I will make sure of it.

Yang:
Yeah! We're planning the whole thing!

Blake:
What?

Weiss:
Team CFVY's lasted longer than expected so we picked up where they left off.

(Y/n):
Just take a single day off. You'll feel much better afterward.

Ruby:
Sooo? What do you think?

Blake:
I think this is a colossal waste of time. I'll be in the library.

She leaves and slams the door.

(Y/n):
That could have gotten better.

Weiss:
She can't go on like this.

There's a knock at the door and Jaune starts singing. I decide to go to bed instead of listening and Yang joins me.

Yang:
So, did anyone ask to you take me to the dance yet?

(Y/n):
No, I'm waiting for a specific person to ask.

Yang:
Is that person me?

(Y/n):
Yes, you are.

Yang:
Wait, really?

(Y/n):
Good night Yang.

Yang:
You can't just say that and go to sleep!

Despite her protest, I do exactly that. Albeit while blushing madly.

I'm actually going to make an attempt at uploading more often. Also, sorry about it being short.
