Tainted love (Blake x MaleReader)

Chapter 2 - I

She went to one last mission with Adam to destroy a Train. Instead, she hijacked the machine and she and I used it to leave Menagerie behind.

I'd like to say that our trip to Vale was amazing, but that'd be lying. The coolest thing that happened, was us stealing a prosthetic arm for me. Blake created a diversion while I was browsing the store, and I took the arm as soon as the shopkeeper left. 

It's nothing too fancy, but it'll get the job done... or it will once I get used to it. She helped me paint it black, so that it looks good with the coat she gave me for my birthday last year. A stolen black leather glove later and my arm seems back to normal.

We scrap and pickpocket our way into an airship to Vale. Somehow, we were able to afford a private room with a bed and a coach... guess I'll fly coach this time. 

I smile at my own joke and sit down, struggling to make myself comfortable.

"What are you doing?"

I look up to find my ivory-haired goddess frowning down at me.

"Getting comfortable. It's a five-hour flight to Vale, I plan to sleep the whole way."

She crosses her arms under her breasts... does she know how hot it makes her look?

"I meant what were you doing on the coach. You're still not completely healed, if anyone should have the bed, it's you."

Aint she sweet? I can't help but smile "Too bad I'm all too comfortable to move now." I wink at her "maybe next time."

She rolls her eyes before walking to and laying on the bed "good night, (Y/N)."

"Good night, Blake."

There is something to be said about humans: they are a lively bunch.

We arrived at Vale little before noon, and went right into a department store where my princess procured a black bow, which she tied over her head to mask her ears. She does look cute, but I prefer her ears anytime of the day. 

She catches me watching her "does it look funny?"

I shake my head "you look cute." Ha! Made her blush! I also made her swat my good arm, but that's normal. "So, what shall we do now?" I ask, not expecting an immediate answer. Still, I get one.

"I want to become a huntress."

I nearly fall to the floor, but catch myself in time "what?"

"I said 'I want to become a huntress'."

"Why?" She makes a face "now, now. I'm not saying it's wrong. I's just like to know why we're going to apply to beacon."

She blinks "we?"

I snort and roll my eyes "But of course! You didn't think I'd let you go alone, did you?" she blushes "seriously?" she looks down, and I sigh. "Blake, I will always stand by your side." I smirk "even if you don't want me there."

She regals me with that shy smile I can't get enough of.

"Alright. If you want to stay by my side, we need to get ourselves a place at Beacon academy." Switching topics, are we? Fine, I'll let her. I'll hear her reasons sooner or later.

I bow to her "your wish is my command".

Blake rolls her eyes, but the corners of her mouth twitch upward.

We ended walking up to Beacon to write an application. We presented a few combat exams, but it nothing too difficult. The only problem was that I had to fake not knowing what my semblance was.

Blake doesn't know, and I don't plan on telling her or anyone any time soon, or never, whichever comes the latter. I can't risk her finding out.

I don't want her to fear or hate me.  

I had to fight a couple of guys and actually broke the nose of the guy who was trying to flirt with my girl. 

Possessive much? Yes. Yes, I am.

We got ourselves a room in a cheap hotel, where we passed the time until the results of the exams arrived. We both passed with flying colors, although mine included a small warning about fighting students outside practice.

Meh. Prudes.

To celebrate, I got her a couple of novels she had been eyeing the other day at a library. Her answering hug made me happier than being accepted at the school. I hug her back briefly, before she opens the first one and starts reading.

I guess it'll be me getting the food this week, but seeing her smile as she reads, I decide it's definitely worth it.
