The smells of food cooking began to waft through the air, mingling with woodsmoke into a homely aroma that matched the warmth of her home. It was easy enough to start a flame, she’d done it plenty of times as a kid under her dad’s supervision, which had become a useful tool in her Huntress Wilderness Survival arsenal. Ilia gave her a tiny smile in return, silently letting Yang know her grumpy attitude was starting to clear up. “Can do,” Yang gave her a two-fingered salute, her grin softer and less cocky then before. “I’ll put food on if you get a fire going.” The rest of the walk home was silent, Ilia only beginning to lose the aggressive set to her shoulders when they walked into their current home, at least until the next missions. Yang winced as she realised she might have misjudged just how much the cold got to Ilia. She stomped off, leaving Yang behind in the falling snow. Normally a pun like that would at least earn a chuckle, maybe even Ilia’s scale freckles turning cotton candy pink, but all she got was a scornful glare. “You electrify me, yanno?” She deliberately dropped her eyes down to the whip sword on Ilia’s hip.
All i wanna know is can you come a little closer skin#
Ilia’s skin started to bloom an angry red, her eyes shifting to a bright hue before she took a deep breath and pinched the bridge of her nose.

“Not as hot as you though.” She punctuated the last statement with a wink. “Cause I’m hotter than the sun,” she continued, tossing her golden hair with a cocky grin. “Really, Yang?” Ilia looked at her, entirely unimpressed. “Yeah, once we’re home I can warm you up all night long~” Hang on- was it the chill in the air? A playful glint sparked to life in lilac eyes as Yang tried to cheer her cold-blooded girlfriend up. Yang could have sworn she saw Ilia shiver.

I just want to get home.” Ilia started walking faster, her arms wrapping around her a little more. Yang reached out and placed a hand on Ilia’s shoulder. Don’t worry about it.”Įverything didn’t sound fine. It meant Yang could spend it all with her girlfriend, instead of one or both of them being away on some sort of mission, or in Ilia’s case, White Fang work. The area of Vale that they lived in could be pretty quiet some days, and this was luckily one of them. Had today really been that bad? It was just a bit of scouting, clearing out a few Grimm here and there. “Hey, is everything okay?” Yang raised a brow. “Let’s just get home and get today over with.” Ilia grunted in irritation, pulling her hand out of Yang’s as she crossed her arms, scowling up at the sky. “Looks like we’ll be having a snowy day tomorrow too,” she grinned, frost crunching under their boots. She smiled and wiped it off on her jacket, giving Ilia’s hand a squeeze. Yang noticed flakes of white beginning to drift down around her and held out her right hand, watching a snowflake land on her metal palm and begin to melt.
