-Your pov-

After you had helped defeated Salem, things had been pretty hectic. There were still some of her followers you had to deal with, and some damages to repair. Along with the rest of Team RWBY, you had helped repair and provide aid to anyone who had been affected by the destruction she and her forces had caused. On top of that, there were still violent factions of the White Fang, and as always the chaos in Remnant. For your assistance in the battles, you and the rest of your friends had been granted their huntsman license, and getting that had come with several complications. Due to recent events, every huntsman was on duty constantly, either doing rescue work or fighting off Grimm invasions. Everyone had been running themselves into the ground, and doing the best they could to help the world.

In a a rare moment of peace, you sat with your beautiful girlfriend, Blake Belladonna. Her head was rested on your lap, and you stroked her cat ears. You were over at her parent's house, your own having been destroyed when the Grimm were unleashed on the world at large. From a young age, you had been orphaned, and the Belladonnas had been fine with having you stay with them for the time being.

As Blake rested her head on your lap, she read from a book. She would look up at you, and give a small smile from time to time. You also read from a book, but spent more of your energy rubbing her cat ears. It had taken some time for her to open up to you about her faunas heritage, but when she did, you found the cat ears adorable.

-Flashback Your Pov-

As Blake dashed out of the room, you stood up and ran after her. Like always, she was faster than you, but not by enough you couldn't keep her in sight. Your heart pounded, partly from the exertion of the chase, and partly out of worry for her. You couldn't believe she was part of the White Fang, but you had to believe she had left and changed. When you got outside, the rain was pouring, but she kept running, and you did the best you could to stay where you could see her.

People kept shooting you weird looks, but you couldn't have cared less. Blake was important to you, and you weren't going to stop until you knew she was okay. It didn't matter if you got a little wet, or if you were exhausted. All that mattered to you was catching up with her, and making sure she was okay. Everything else came as an afterthought. Eventually, she rounded a corner, and saw it went into an ally. Seeing your chance, you caught up with her.

" Leave me alone," she had yelled when she saw you. But, you just took a step closer to her, and held up your hands to show you weren't here to hurt her. She tried to back away, but found herself pressed up against a wall. Not moving forward, she dropped her head. " Why are you here?"

" What kind of question is that," you asked. " I'm here because I'm worried about you. You can't just run out on us like that. It's dangerous, and I worried." This made her look up hesitantly, and she sighed.

" Go away," she had said, and your heart shattered a little bit with how she said it. " I want to be alone right now." You shook your head, and she told you that again, this time screaming at you. However, all you did was start walking forward.

" I'm not going to go away, and leave you here Blake," you had told her. " I'm tired of not being able to help the people closest to me. First my parents, and then my brother. I want to help you. So please, let me."

Something about the way you said that prompts her to lift up her head. She took a deep breath, and then started to tell you everything you wanted to know about her time with the White Fang, until she finished her story. " All because of these," she had said, undoing the bow on her head, revealing two cat ears. With her story finished, she had looked at you nervously. " So, there you go. I'm sure you must hate me, since the White Fang killed your family."

You shook your head, and then took a step closer to her. " Even if the White Fang did, you didn't Blake. There isn't a lot in this world that could make me hate you, and they certainly aren't two adorable cat ears."

This made her take a step towards you, and wrap her arms around you. Smiling, you returned the hug, and felt her grip tightening, almost crushing the life out of you. " Thank you," she had muttered.

-Present Day-

The smell of Kali's cooking hit the air, and you smiled. Ghira was due home any minute now, and then you were going to eat dinner with your girlfriend and her loving family. Her head still rested on your lap, and you smiled. When she let out a 'purr,' your heart filled with warmth, loving the sound.

-Flashback your pov-

When Blake had revealed her faunas side to you, she had hid it away from you, only letting them free when the two of you were by yourselves, or with people she could trust such as her team. However, one day everyone except for you and her had been busy, and so you and here were in the room alone.

" Hey Blake," you had said, and she looked at you curiously. " Can I..can I pet you?" She looked at you in confusion, and thought about it for awhile. Eventually, she made her way over to you, and undid the bow. Like always, you took the time to look at her, marveling in her beauty. " You really do look better without the bow."

She blushes, but looks down sadly. " Thank you. But, the world isn't the nicest to faunas. If it was, I would go my entire life without wearing the bow." Frowning at this, you reached over and begin to stroke her ears. She smiles at this, and then goes back to reading her book. As you kept rubbing her ears, she eventually let out a purr.

The sound filled the room, and made you smile. Blake looked extremely embarrassed by this, however you gave her a really big smile. " That's such a beautiful sound," you found yourself saying, and she blushed and looked down.

" Thank you,"  she muttered blushing. You smiled at her, loving the sound of her purring.

-Present Day-

You smiled, and then looked to see the bow she once wore tied around your arm. It had taken you forever, but she finally came to be at peace for what she was. As she sat in your lap, you looked down to look into her radiant amber eyes. " I love you Blake," you told her, and she smiled.

" I love you too," she said. Time after time, you had heard that from her. And yet, it still made you giggle and it was the most wonderful sound in the world. And everytime you heard it, it took you back to the first time you did.

-Flashback your pov-

Steam went from your body, a result of your Semblance being pushed too far. Adam saw this, and then he smirked. " I see," he said. " Your Semblance allows you to control the speed your blood pumps at. By speeding up your blood flow, you make yourself faster. And, if you push yourself too far, it kills you."

Glaring at him, you cough up a handful of blood into your hand. " I don't care if it kills me! I don't care if it breaks my body, or even ends with me dead. All I want is the power to defend the ones I  love," you told him defiantly, moving to defend Blake from one of his slashes. Blood gushed from your wounds, and you dropped to the ground.

When you woke up, you saw Blake holding your hand, and praying. " Please Oum. Don't take him from me to," she was saying, and things similar to that. When you sat up, her eyes widened, and she pulled you into a hug. " Oh thank Oum."

" Adam told me what you said," Blake said. " As why you had to die. Because you loved me." You looked at her nervous, wondering if she was going to reject those feelings for her. But, she pulled you into a a really big hug. She started to cry, and you rubbed her back, telling her that you were here, and weren't going to go anywhere anytime soon.

Eventually, she pulled away from you, and you reached out to brush a tear away from her eye. " I love you Blake," you said nervously. " I love you to the moon and back. I am never going to go away, and leave you by yourself."

Blake took a deep, long breath. " I love you too (y/n)," she said, and color flooded into your world.

-Present Day Blake Pov-

Eventually, (y/n) and I bought a house in Menagerie, and moved in together. He was doing a mission as a huntsman, and I was on the phone with my mother, about to tell her something life-changing for everyone involved. " I'm pregnant," I told her, and I could hear her squeal. I let out a sigh of relief hearing how happy she was.

I talked with her and my father for awhile, before the door opened. " Oh, that's him," I told them. " I need to go. Talk to you later. Love you." They said the same, and then (y/n) walked in the door, bandages wrapped around his chest, but his big smile on his face.

" Sorry I'm late," he says, missing where my concern would be. " I had to go check myself into the hospital really quickly. I'm going to be fine. Oh, and thank you for making dinner. It smells wonderful." I smile at him, and then give him a peck on the cheek. Even though he and I have been together for such a long time, he touches his cheek where I kissed him, and he blushes. I laugh, seeing how much he loves me. I have always appreciated how he always acts like my love is a privilege, rather than a given.

" (y/n), when you have a minute, I have something really big I wanted to tell you." He nods, and sits down. I take a deep breath, and then look at him. " I'm pregnant," I tell him, trying to guess what his reaction will be. However, his face breaks into an enormous smile, and he pulls me into a big hug.

" This is amazing," he says. " I can't believe I'm going to be a father! And, you're going to be the best mother ever." I smile at his antics, and I return his hug. He lets go first, and starts walking around the room with a huge smile. " Aw man. Who should we call first?"

-Timeskip still Blake Pov-

I smile, and put Yang down to be the godmother of me and (y/n)'s child. It's still a little far out, and we don't know when our child will be born, or what the gender will be. However, (y/n) and I know we will love our baby so much, regardless of what happens from here on out. He comes home, and holds up a piece of paper. " We haven't been on a date in awhile. I got us reservations for that new seafood place you wanted to go to."

Another big smile lights up my face, and he stares for a moment. " Sorry," he says eventually. " Just that that is still the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life." I blush when he says this, and then look down. He places a hand under my chin, and pushes his head up before pulling me in for a kiss.

After dinner, he takes several deep breaths, before getting down on one knee. " Blake Belladonna," he says after a bit of a pause. " You are the light in my life. Everything I have an am belongs to you. I cannot, nor would I want to imagine my life without you. Will you marry me?"

Tears of joy fill my eyes, and he looks at me, even now concerned with how I'm crying rather than the situation at hand. " Yes!" He smiles, and before he can rise, I pull him into a huge hug and kiss. He touches our foreheads together, and looks at me so lovingly.

" I love you Blake," he says.

" I love you too (y/n)."
