♡ Bliss ⚬ RWBY Bumbleby High School AU ♡

5 ⚬ Bliss (Blake POV)

(Time skip from last chapter. Senior year has almost finished.)

We're passionately making out in the back of my new car. It's parked in the middle of an empty parking lot, so no one is here but us.

I pull away from her.

"Aw, what was that for?"

"It's getting late, Yang... it's almost 9."

"Oh come on, it's okay Blake! Your parents have met me. They may not trust me that much, but I'm sure they'll be fine with you staying out just a bit as long at they know you're 'hanging out with your friend Yang! Plus, it's a Friday.'" She says, her bottom lip sticking out slightly.

Now I'm sitting up straight, gazing out into the empty lot.

"I don't know, but speaking of 'my friend Yang'..." I sigh.

"Blake, I know what you're going to say, and the thing is I ju-"

"I know it's hard for you, it's hard for me too... But we've been together for god knows how long, and we need to tell my parents about us!"

She gazes somewhere in the distance.

"Please? I mean, it's senior year, were getting older..." I say, tears starting to form.

Yang had told her dad she and I were dating soon after we had started. She had just wanted to get it over with, and said her dad could care less. My parents, on the other hand, were busy fighting for the rights of the faunus. Which is wonderful and all, but the absence of honesty had and still just brings me and Yang stress.

"Okay." She finally says. She shoots me a reasurring look, but beneath that somewhere I sense hesitation, and perhaps a bit of fear. I bury my head in her shoulder.

"It'll be fine. My parents are nice people." I whisper. Then I give her a quick peck on the lips and make my way up to the steering wheel. Yang follows, taking shotgun. I shoot my parents a text and then start the engine.

The ride to Yang's house is long and silent. We only speak as she gets out of the car and says, "Bye, babe.", and I respond saying, "Bye." The ride home alone is much less tense.

When I get home, I say a few quick words to my parents to reassure them I had fun, then I bolt to my room. I lock the door and flop onto my bed.

Perhaps me and Yang wouldn't be having such a conversation if she really cared. Was I just a 'high school girlfriend'? The kind she would joke about a couple years in the future? Most likely. Though I didn't want it that way, perhaps nothing else would happen. Everybody knows that high school sweethearts are a rarity anyway.

My dad knocks on the door. "Blake? Are you alright in there?"

"Yeah dad, I'm alright."

"Well go ahead and come out of there. Your mother bought Blue Lobster takeout."

As much as I love my alone time, seafood calls. The three of us congregate at the round wooden table.

"What's the occasion?" I ask as I lift a food filled styrofoam box toward me.

"Oh there's no occasion," my mom says. "I was just craving some fish. What the stereotype I am, huh?"

My dad chuckles, and I rip into the most juicy, pink and marinated salmon ever.

As great as my girlfriend is, salmon will always bae number two.

"So Blake," my dad starts. "Who's your girlfriend?"

I stop mid chew. What the fuck?

"Haha, no one. I wish."

"Come on honey. You can't hide something like that forever. How long has it been?"

"Uh, a long time. Like all of high school. I'm sorry... are you disappointed?" I say, my words struggling to form.

My mom sighs. "Well, no. Had we known for sure your freshman year, maybe, but... you're mature now. You're an adult. We can't tell you how to live. All we want is for you to be happy, really."

This is all too much. I stand up. "May I be excused?" I ask.

I head to my room before I can hear a reply.

How impeccable the timing is. My parents somehow find out and confront me about being a big lesbian while Yang and I JUST happen to be in a tiny argument. Everything was just so overwhelming.

Ding! Goes my phone. Surprise surprise, it's from Yang!

Hey boo, it reads.
Just want you to know that you're beautiful. I'm sorry I was flakey. I just realised how fucking stupid I was, I told my dad a while ago haha. I guess your parents are just kinda intimidating. Meet me Sunday, dad and ruby will be out. After a bit of fun we can head over to yours and be honest. Xoxo

Somehow, that one texts makes my mood shift. Maybe I needed mom and dad to confront me, to squash any thoughts of cowardice. And Yang was right; things never had to be tense. Maybe we could call things even. I was dramatic, she was scared.

My phone dings again.

Btw, you're more than just a high school girlfriend to me. I want to b your girl.

That bitch could read my mind.

I text back.
Hey to u too. Talk about dumb! Sorry and I trust u. Pick me up tmrw at 10, a little fun is exactly wht the chef ordered 😍

I hit send.

Btw, the coming out + telling the parents is taken care of. We adults now

At 10 am sharp the next morning, Yang is at my door. I say bye to my parents, and before they can ask to meet Yang, I'm out the door. Baby steps, right?

Yang gives me a kiss before starting up the car. "Let me tell you babe, I'm proud."

"Thanks." My heart flutters. "To your house!"

10 minutes later, we're laying on her super-soft brown living room couch. My head is in her lap. She reaches for the remote, and I sit up.

"But Blake, your head is so warm." Yang whines.

"Well do you wanna have a little fun or what?" I ask.

"Um, we are? You just chill on my lap while I watch TV!"

"..."

"Haha you silly cat, just kidding."

Yang gets up real close. Our noses touch. She calls me cute, and all of a sudden we're making out. And all I can think is, god, how did I get so lucky?

As we have our fun, I realise something. There is only one word that describes how being with Yang is. Years back, it was just a word in my books, or a word I had to learn in English. But now, it's... reality. It's more than just a word. It's a person, a connection.

It's bliss.
