3rd Person POV

Hearing the sorrow in her voice, Y/N sighed "Jaune, do you think you and your team could go to another table for a moment? Blake and I need to talk for a moment..." Jaune tilted his head, but he was soon pulled away by Pyrrha "Sure thing Y/N." Once JNPR left their sight, Y/N turned back to Blake "I know that you said we could talk later, but... you kinda put me in the edge of my seat." The boy smiled, causing Blake's skin to turn into a deep shade of red "W-Well... I was going to say that..." Could she really tell him? She was going to do it prior to the interruption, but now...she was unsure. "Do... Do you remember?" No. That's all she wanted to say. Just a simple no...but she couldn't. A part of her just wanted to smash her lips on to his, releasing only when the two needed to breathe. Again...could she really do this?

'I... I've been afraid my whole life! I always take the easy way out when it comes to the important things. I... I can't let this opportunity go. But... But what would he do if I told him? Would he love someone like me?' Blake's thoughts conflicted with her heart on multiple occasions, but this was their bloodiest war.

"Blake, if you don't remember that's fine." Y/N put both of his hands on top of Blake's, chuckling softly. He opened his mouth again, but he soon found Blake's lips on top of his own. 'I... I did it! Please don't hate me!' The young Belladonna thought. Meanwhile, Y/N's mind seemed to go haywire as his thoughts blew up like small fireworks. Blake...was his first kiss. One of the people who cared about him the most just...just kissed him. He... He wanted to welcome to sweet embrace of their kiss, but he couldn't. His heart wouldn't let him.

Slowly, Blake pulled her lips back, a blush coloring her face "That's what I wanted to tell you..." Blake avoided Y/N's gaze as she spoke softly "I... I didn't know if words could express how I feel so... so I just did what my heart wanted." Blake looked back at him, a small smile gracing her face. "Blake, I..."

"...You... You don't feel the same..." Her words made it seem more like a statement rather than question.

"I... I'm sorry..." Tears began to fill her vision, her body shaking slightly "Is there something wrong with me?" Y/N brought her into a small hug, causing Blake to cry into his shirt "No. There's nothing wrong with you Blake. There never was."

Y/N waited for Blake to reply, but all he got in return were her loud sobs. Unknown to either of them, JNPR was actually spying on the two, all of them with different opinions on the matter. "I thought they'd be great for each other..."

"Really? I always pictured her and Sun being together."
"We... We should probably leave them alone and tell Ruby to meet us someone where else."
"Right."

Time Skip

Ever since he turned down Blake, Y/N had been wondering if rejecting her was really a good call to make. Maybe... Maybe he should visit her and...no. Seeing him would be the last thing she'd want right now. Currently, he was walking around Beacon, contemplating whether he should help her...or let her be. "Hey..." The sound of her voice wasn't new to him, but it was still shocking when he heard it. "Hi... Yang."

"So...about Blake..."
"Please tell her that I apologize for-"
"It's fine Y/N. We... We all go through heartache. There isn't really much to apologize for."
"And what if she gets put in the same spot you were in?"
"We'd be there to help her. All of us."

The wind cut through the brief silence between the two. Neither of them moving. After a few moments, Yang spoke up. "Why?"

"W...Why what?"
"You know..."
"My... My heart just didn't belong with her. Blake is a stunning woman, an excellent fighter and a strong willed person, but...she isn't the person who my heart desires..."

Y/N looked up at Yang and for a brief second, he spotted a small blush on her face "Do... Do you remember what I said on the rooftop?"

"Yeah. How could I not?"
"...I ... I meant every word."

Yang slowly made her way over to Y/N, causing him to nearly melt. He could feel himself returning to his older days. Yang stopped a few inches in front of Y/N, smiling "Well... aren't you gonna ask me?" His eyes widen and Yang stepped closer. "W-Wait, I... Are you-" Just like what happened with Blake, Y/N felt Yang's lips touch his. His heart began to beat rapidly, almost feeling as if it were going to pop out of his chest in a matter of seconds. After what felt like hours, and did he wish it were, their lips departed "What did your heart feel?"

"An... An immense rush..."

With Blake

Blake's eyes seemed to dull as her gaze stayed fixated on a dark corner of the room. Why did she listen to her heart? If... If she waited a little while longer, she would've had a better chance! Now... Now he's probably gonna avoid her...and she know she had nobody to blame but herself. "Poor, poor girl..." Her eyes went wide and she quickly sat up "W-Who's there?"

"A friend dear...someone who can get what you desire."
