what a great day to remember that:
Blake followed Yang through the Emerald Forest from the shadows before stepping in to take out the second Ursa and make eye contact - deliberately choosing Yang as her partner
Yang was the only one able to break through Blakeâs destructive, obsessive spiral and convince her to rest, by sharing something deeply personal about her past (in fact Blakeâs the only character Yang has spoken to about Raven that didnât already know who Raven was), and making it clear attending the dance was optional as Blake resting was her main concern
Blake not only took Yang up on an offer of a dance, but ensured it was her first dance of the night (and this was Yangâs only dance of the night too, as she went back to welcoming guests and then watching the dancefloor from the balcony)
When Blake expresses doubts in herself while in Mountain Glenn, Yang is quick to compliment a trait of Blakeâs that she admires (even if Blake herself canât see it)
Blake stands to applaud Yangâs victory in the first round of the finals
Following the incident with Mercury, itâs thinking that Blake has lost faith in her that causes Yang to burst into tears. additionally, acknowledging that her doubts are brought on by a fear of her history with Adam repeating herself, she trusts in Yangâs word
On two separate occasions Blake has been stated to love Yang (âI will destroy everything you love [âŚ] starting with herâ and âRuby, Weiss, Yang⌠they were my friends! I loved them like I never thought I could love anybodyâ - with a notable voice crack on Yangâs name)
To expand on one of the things quoted above - Blake is saying she cares more about her team than she does about anyone else (which, given how she chose Yang in the forest, rings quite a bit of how the bonds of found family can be stronger than those of the obligation of blood relatives, because theyâre something you choose)
Blake holding Yangâs hand and sobbing apologies (notably using her left hand, meaning sheâd have to reach over and put strain on her injury, just so she could hold Yangâs hand properly)
According to Armed and Ready, thereâs nothing Yang wonât do for Blake
When Yangâs looking at the photo of her team, the photo has fallen one side, so she seems to only be focusing on the half with herself and Blake on it. she also seems to be stroking her thumb over Blakeâs part of the picture
Yang has stated that she wanted to be there for Blake and needed Blake to be there for her following the Fall of Beacon - a rare moment of vulnerability from Yang, especially admitting that she needed someone when so often sheâs the one supporting everyone else - followed by Yang breaking down in tears because of how hurt she was by Blake leaving
Blake entering a room full of people she never thought sheâd see again, and zeroing in on Yang and only saying her name
The look of pure shock on Yangâs face when she saw Blake again (with Wings playing in that specific moment - a song long speculated to be from Yangâs perspective to Blake)
Blake makes it clear sheâs not going anywhere (an implicit promise that sheâs back and intending to stay with her team) and Yang is willing to accept her back
All That Matters gives us some insight on Yangâs feelings regarding the above - she doesnât know that Blake left because she cares about Yang, and so believes that Blake doesnât care about her as much as she cares about Blake (which is just setting up that Blakeâs gonna prove her wrong when Yang finally finds out why Blake left), but sheâs willing to accept Blake back despite fully expecting to be hurt again because being close to Blake even for a little while is all that matters - the song is heavily romantically coded with phrases like ânever asked you to commit your lifeâ and âthe way i feel/to you is no big dealâ
