Making Up For Lost Time WIP (RWBY) (Patreon)

 It had been years since Blake had returned home at all, and now here she was just after Beacon fell and with Sun in toe. However, much to the girl’s surprise, her family easily and quickly accepted her back into their house with open arms, and she couldn’t be happier with the result of that. Though, as she lay awake in bed, late at night and with the window open to let the moonlight in, the faunus was still having trouble believing it. Closing her soft amber eyes, a smile came to her lips before the sound of a soft knock came to her door. “Hm…? Who could be awake this late?”

“I’m not sure if you’re awake, sweetie, but it’s me.” Kali, Blake’s mother, spoke softly from the otherside of the door, making sure to not risk being loud enough to actually wake her child on the off chance she was actually asleep. “I wanted to take a moment and try to speak to you alone. It’s been a bit hectic and lively since you got home, and now just seemed like the perfect time…” The older woman sighed quietly to herself as she waited for an answer, not knowing that her little girl was getting out of bed and making her way to the door. “Maybe you’re actually sleeping…” Suddenly, the door flew open in front of her, letting the golden-eyed woman see her daughter standing there with messy hair and in nothing but a long and baggy t-shirt that her father had given her years ago. “Oh…”

“Sorry, about it being so hectic lately, Mom. I didn’t expect Sun to be following me here in order to keep me safe.” Blake kept her smile as she stepped to the side, giving her mother the space needed to walk into her bedroom. “Come on in. We can sit down while we talk.” The younger faunus made her way to her bed but kept the door open for Kali, sitting down on the soft furniture with a gentle bounce. “What’d you come to talk about? Something on your mind?”

“Well, it’s about Sun, actually. I wanted to ask what you thought of him. Considering what you had gone through, seeing you bring a faunus we had never seen before back home has me a bit concerned for my little girl.” Kali closed the door all but a small crack in order to let herself out without making a lot of noise, sitting only a short distance away from her little girl. “He’s not here to try something with you, is he? I mean, the last time my precious girl went out with a man she didn’t come back for years on end.”

Blake knew exactly where this was going and dropped her smile as she grabbed her mother’s hand. “No no. Don’t worry. Sun’s a sweet and caring guy, but he’s nothing like what I want in a partner. I learned that from Adam. Besides, coming back here was a way for me to relax and recharge more than anything. I missed being around you and Dad, despite what I said before I left.”

“And… What about the things we did together before you left? You remember when I had brought Willow over to teach you a few things and we just… never stopped?” Kali had a concerned tone in her voice as she looked up into her daughter’s eyes, gasping a moment later when she felt a pair of soft and familiar lips crash against her own, capturing them in a soft and loving kiss. However, when that kiss was broken and the two were left staring into each other’s eyes, the mother couldn’t find it in herself to hold back the soft whine that escaped her, even as she tried to hold back the tears that stung at the corners of her eyes. “Blake…”
