Two For One

Chapter 10

"Soooo?" Ruby asked the moment Yang walked through the door.

"So what?" Yang replied with a smirk.

"How was your date?" Ruby demanded, practically leaping out of her spot on the futon.

Yang's smirk turned into a large smile. "Incredible."

"Ahh!" Ruby exclaimed, tackling her sister in a hug. "I'm so happy for you! Tell me everything! Where did you go? What did you talk about? Did you kiss?"

"Ruby," Yang chided, trying to push her away. "I have to go to sleep soon, but I'll come and sit you with for a little bit, okay?"

"Aww, you do?"

Yang nodded. "My shift at Scholar's starts at 5 tomorrow. I gotta be up by 4. But I can give some details."

Ruby scurried back towards the futon, patting the spot next to her for Yang to sit down. Unfortunately, Mezzaluna heard the patting and took the cue to sit next to Ruby instead.

Yang burst out laughing as Mezzaluna took her seat. She shook her head, opting to sit on the floor next to the futon instead.

"So," Yang began, "we went to this Italian restaurant in the Faunus District, Francine's..."

Blake slipped through the front door to her apartment, hanging up her coat and placing her keys on the table.

"Everything go alright?" Kali asked from the couch.

"It was fantastic!" Blake responded with a smile, taking a seat on the other end of the couch.

"Why are you back so early then?"

"Oh, yeah," Blake chuckled. "I forgot it's not even 9. Yang has a shift tomorrow morning that starts at 5am, so I brought her back to her apartment after dinner."

"Oh, okay," Kali sighed in relief. "I'm glad everything went well!"

Blake smiled. "Me too."

Her scroll chirped, and she looked to see a message from Yang, which included a screenshot of her schedule for the next two weeks.

"So, tell me." Kali put the TV on mute. "Did you kiss?"

"Mooooom," Blake groaned, giving her mother a gentle shove away. "Don't you think the details of my dating life are something that'd be awkward to talk about with my mom?"

"I mean, I didn't expect you to go that far on the first date, but if you did, don't tell me about it."

"Mom! We did not! I just told you I took her home after dinner!"

Blake's cheeks were glowing bright red. She couldn't believe her mother had just joked about her sleeping with Yang on their first date.

Kali let out a chuckle. "If you say so."

"We did kiss," Blake admitted, trying to take her mind off her mother's joke. "Right outside of her apartment, before she went inside."

Kali leaned forward, smiling. "Go ahead, gush it out."

Blake smiled back at her mother.

"Well..."

"I knew I heard you two outside the door!" Ruby exclaimed. Yang had just finished her story of their date, ending with the kiss outside of the front door. "It got quiet after a moment, so I decided it was best to just wait..."
