Yang sat in silence for a moment, he felt regret letting her sit beside him like this… with the awkward tension and everything that had happened, he was still upset at her fornjust leaving, vanishing without a word. The team they had formed, it wasn’t as important as their friendship, yes he cared for both, but in a realistic mindset Yang had to see the bigger picture for once.
Blake was his friend… keyword was, however he still didn’t want to let her go, or never forgive her… deep down, he knew her explanation would make him feel better, or so he hoped.
After a long silence, Yang spoke up first, however still facing the window as forest scenery passed them by, “ so… how about you start with where you went? ” he turned his head some, catching glimpse of her fromm his peripheral vision.
The two sat there in silence, each trying to think of what to say. Blake’s ears perked up when she heard Yang speak to her, as if in surprise that he was even talking to her at all. When he asked about her whereabouts, Blake stayed quiet for a moment, tears starting to silently slide down her face, trying to keep her composure. Blake wiped her eyes, retelling the story still brought her feelings of guilt back. Too afraid to look him in the eyes, Blake brought her knees to her chest, wrapping her arms around them, and began to tell her side of the story.
“Well..after..what happened to you at Beacon..I felt it was my fault for it all..I stayed by your side until you were taken home..the guilt I had felt became too much..I thought..that by leaving..it would keep you all safe from his wrath..I went on a ship back to my home in Menagerie..to not only see my parents but to sort some things out..I was under the impression..that you and the others hated me for leaving..I wasn’t expecting to be forgiven..at least not right away..I-I don’t know about the other two..but I see you’re still mad..I-I’m..sorry..for everything..”
The longest sigh did flare his nostrils hearing all this, seeing tears stream down her face, watching the emotion swell and release with every word and expression. Turning towards her fully, the blonde did pull both his remaining and metal arms around her body, pulling her in tightly for a hug he'd deep down long waited for.
" I think that's really all I ever wanted... " he spoke as soft as his normally cheery voice would allow him to whisper, " and honestly... it's all I need to hear for right now. " Arms cinched alittle tighter, a gentle squeeze as to signify that he wouldn't be letting her go, quite literally and emotionally ever again.
