Saturday had to be the best day of the week for most people but because of the date, it was one of those days that Ushio could easily wish to simply not exist. As she lay in bed the past few weeks had flashed through her head, The main thing was Max meeting the floor when he caught her changing and thus...her female form, her classes, her regular maintenance and how cute Max looked. She tried to keep the thought of her team mate from her mind, she didn't want to drag him into her problems but it was too fun making fun of him, but perhaps tonight she went a bit too far. She remembers pressing her chest against his back while he was studying, flaunted her hips right in front of him and the icing on the cake was when he said good night and she simply walked over and kissed him square on the lips for a bout 10 seconds before pulling back and simply heading to bed herself. But that wasn't the only reason she was sad today, eh looked to a photo of her parents and sighed as today a couple of years ago she had her father taken from her and she was all alone in the world now, as much as she wanted to say that though she had a guy that cared about her a lot as if it was Max's wish that the boy known as Masaru was to change into a woman, either way, wish granted but not magically.
She opened her eyes and saw Max was gone, a sigh of relief escaped her as this past year had been going rather smoothly until a few weeks ago. But she knew Max by now...for him to be up and gone at this time of the morning on a weekend was...odd, usually Ushio was the first one up. But she none the less slid from the bed, in a green dressing gown...she didn't need to hide it anymore unless there were visitors to the room. The gown hit the ground and she yawned staring at the early morning sun, looking to the clock and seeing it was only 7:23am was another good sign. She wandered to her table and reached down her cleavage and pulled out one of her greyhound pistols...this was not weird. Not strange at all that Ushio had a gun hidden in there, putting the gun on the table next to its twin she reached forward and rested a small blade on the table, it was a small dagger, mainly for self defense if anything. Ushio rested her hand on it and double checked to see how the blade was in terms of purity and durability. A minute passed and that one flaw was drawn out, a small and now fully mended crack on the blade, she was now just working on finer details. As she gave the blade another sharpening she couldn't shake thinking about Max, this was annoying her a bit but the red hue on her cheeks was probably annoying her more as her face heated up.
She soon shook her head and focused, pulling her various selections of dust to her she took a small vial of Glass liquid and her welding tool, a small pen like device that was using an energy and fire dust gem. As the gems slowly melted the blade away with the line she drew closely to the knifes edge and after some time to let it cool she opened the vial of liquid carefully dropping it on the cooling metal turning it a green hue, the glass dust wasn't fully infused with the metal but as she sped up the cooling process with a specially made ice dust crystal being run over it the hiss of steam escaping the blade made the hot feeling on her face worse. But she soldiered on, resting her hand on the blade she would make it close up and slowly form a green lung dragon form on the blade, her semblance being very useful for artistic uses as well. She then heard the door open, her table was closest to the door and she couldn't hide unless she somehow blinded whoever was coming in but it seems like she was busted. Her heart was beating from her chest as seemed to nearly go blank as someone walked in.

Max had to do something extra special for his team mate on this rather chilly Saturday morning. He had been partnered up with Saru almost a year again when he started his freshman year and at first everything was cool because Max had thought that she had been a he and there was no awkwardness involved. That all ended when Max had come home early from his classes in order to change into a fresh suit and ended up walking in on Saru changing, revealing her true gender. Ever since that day, Saru had loved tormenting him since she knew that he got rather flustered around women let alone women of her body type, often shaking her hips and even once kissing him on the lips. She often drove him to the point of frustration but today was a day that he needed to push beyond all of that as he knew that today was the day that she had lost her father some years ago and so he had to do all he could to make her happy.
Max had gotten up at the crack of dawn, dressed in one of his black and white pinstripe suits,black ties and dress shoes. He then grabbed his skateboard and quietly left the house so that he didn't wake her up. As he skated down the campus, the young hunter thought about what he could do to make her happy and only after skating around the campus twice did he come up with the perfect plan. Most mornings either he or she cooked for the two of them and so today on her saddest of days he was gonna pick her up breakfast so that she didn't have to cook. He also decided, even though it could be seen as a romantic gesture to pick her up some beautiful red roses. Max's first stop was the local cafe which he thought made the best pancakes on campus. Once he was inside he wasted no time in ordering her a stack of four pancakes topped with maple syrup and bananas and with his order in hand rushed to get the flowers as he skated down the street.
"There is no way this isn't gonna make her smile!"
As he skated to the flower shop with a to go box in hand, he quickly ordered a glass vase with a dozen red roses in it. Once he had both objects in hand, he quickly made his way back home while whistling an unusually happy tune. Max didn't know why but he felt good about this even on a sad day like today. Once he made it back to their housing unit, Max decided to balance the Vase on his head while he hopped off of his board and reached into his left pocket and pulled out his keys. Once the door was unlocked, Max grabbed the vase off of his head and juggled it and Saru's meal as he nudged the door open with his foot.
"I'm home! You probably thought that today was gonna suck but not anymore!"
Max smiled, not yet noticing her rather loose gown as he sat down the to go box of pancakes in front of his room mate as well as the bouquet of a dozen roses in a glass vase in the center of the table.
"Roses and breakfast, this way you don't gotta waste time cooking. I can make myself something, you just worry about feeling better."
Max smiled at Saru until he finally accidently caught a peek down her night gown, quickly blushing a bright apple red and turning his back to her flustered.
"And put some clothes on will you!"

As the stacks of pancakes and flowers had hit the table, the dagger was already gone, vanished! Into thin air...actually it was hidden under the behemoths blade. She stared at the pancakes, the scent filling her nostrils. She remembered the pancakes that her mother would make, she loved those pancakes and even managed to 'improve' the recipie but it wasn't the same. But none the less the red hue on her cheeks grew deeper and she couldn't help but look to the flowers and be rendered speechless, as she took one and sniffed it she just decided there and then that Max was probably the only man she'd meet that could handle her...and by handle it meant the fact they both loved their weapons. She wanted to make the boy something special, and she did, the dagger was meant to be a gift for him to maybe see if he'd ask her out afterwards. But the fact she felt the need to just not be Masaru anymore, she wanted him to call her by her real name, maybe use the nickname his mother and father used. But none the less she'd make do with what she had with Max right now.
"This..is all for me?"
That was all that would escape her at the moment but as she looked to Max and saw that he was so well dressed and she looked like she just got out of bed...which she pretty much did do anyway. She felt as if she needed to dress in a nice dress...but she threw all of those away ages ago, she wouldn't even know her proper dress size now. Ushio wanted so badly to just throw away the alias and hope to not be thrown out of the academy for it because Max had looked after her and her want to be near him made him like family to her. She soon stood and took a few steps towards Max and as she was the physically stronger of the two he didn't have much of a choice but to be pulled into a hug and have himself be pressed against her by the hug, face buried wherever she could hide hit, the heat from her cheeks easily felt by Max, but then she'd speak again.
"You're too good to me Max...Now I'm blushing and embarrassed...how are you going to fix that?"
She questioned him and just looked him in the eyes, her contact lenses not in this morning so now Max was seeing her real eye color, the hazel orbs seemed to be staring into Max's soul. She then gave him a smile, she relaxed a bit and the red hue began to fade a bit as she didn't seem so embarrassed to be in his arms.

Max couldn't help but smile as Ushi asked if all he had done had been for her. Before he could answer however the next thing he knew he had been grabbed by the hand and pulled into a tight hug, her face being pressed into his chest and her chest pressed against him. This caused Max to shiver a bit in her grip as well as wriggle a bit out of nervousness. Once a few moments had past he decided to try and push past his awkwardness and for the first time wrap his arms around her in the hug despite getting even more nervous because of how good she smelled. When she asked about how he was gonna help with her embarrassment and blushing, Max took the opportunity to slink out of her arms and heel roll past her to the other side of the table. He then cleared his throat and tried to keep his face from being red.
"I don't know how I'm gonna stop all that but I do have a plan for you today. If you are so determained on not wearing clothes around me then what I'm gonna have to do is just run you a nice warm bubble bath with candles like I know you like. Maybe then I'll finally be able to get some chores done without the threat of you being all pressed against me or walking around half naked all the time."
Max's tone, even though his words sounded like he was scolding her were actually rather warm with a bit of sarcasm. In all honesty he truly secretly adored her and just wanted to make her pain go away. He hated seeing anyone, especially his partner in such emotional pain like she felt this morning. The young hunter decided to just turn his back to her trying to act all smooth and yet caring at the same time.
"Now put your projects away and actually eat. We don't need another Malnutrition vomiting episode do we? Your bath will be ready in a few minutes and when you get out I guess we can watch movies together if you like. I'm taking the day off training cause I know what today is for you. I just ask that you wear actual clothes this time yea?"
Max then walked toward the pairs shared bathroom and shut the door. Soon the sounds of fast running water could be heard as well as the sound of a striking match as he lit his favorite french Vanilla candles, the very same scent that his aura gave off as well as the sound of bubbles. As he exited the bath room he left the door cracked so that the smell of Vanilla could fill their house. Once his prep work was done, he decided to sit across from Ushi, doing his best not to peek down her gown as he walked past. Once he sat down he just crossed one leg over the other.
"When you finish your bath, I was wondering if we could talk about this whole..alter ego thing and..what it means for us?"

As he seemed to scold her about her gown, she blushed deeply again but knew he was joking. She then started to eat after she was asked to, the taste of the banana, maple syrup and pancake she closed her eyes a bit. She relaxed quite a bit with some food finally getting into her system, she had a bit of a malnutrition episode last month, she was working too hard on improving her guns and after she couldn't figure it out she had a vomiting fit. As he slid away to the bathroom she finished her breakfast and sighed as she swallowed the last bit of pancake. The Scent of vanilla filled the room a bit, she loved the smell of Max's aura and the fact he seemed to guess or know this was probably more of a turn on than it did feel creepy. But as he finally emerged from the bathroom and took a seat and asked about her alter ego...which to her was needed but now seemed like a shell that needed to be shed she moved closer and slid her hand onto his and took a deep breath and summed up all the courage her body could hold.
"I've been thinking and...I'd rather everyone know and risk being kicked out of the academy...and I want to be with you Max, you've looked after me all this time, even when we first met you've been nothing but kind to me"
Ushio would then lift Max's hand and put it over her heart, he'd feel it beating quickly and strongly, her smile paired with her blushing cheeks made her seem rather beautiful in the morning light. She moved a small bit closer to Max and slowly took his hand away from over her heart but still keeping the hand in hers. As she stared into his eyes she'd just remain silent before standing and releasing his hand and wandering into the bathroom, closing the door behind her. As she slid her gown off and stepped into the bath she sighed and relaxed a bit, she just let herself soak in the bath until she thought she had been in there long enough, sliding out of the bath she dried herself off and wrapped the towel around herself, stepping out quickly and grabbing a shirt and pants and going back into the bathroom, soon she stepped out feeling refreshed and...in clothes that were clearly made for men as her chest stood out, this made her a bit nervous but she took her seat again.
"S-so...you wanted to talk?""

Ushi's words had Max nothing but stunned! He could do nothing but watch as she took his hand and put it over her heart which in all honesty, made him more nervous then taking on a giant nevermore all by himself. As she held his hand he listened to her explain that she wanted people to know that she was a girl and that she..wanted to be..with him? As she walked away to take her bath, Max could do nothing but mull over this declaration. Ushi had always been the flirty and playful around him but he always thought that it was just playing around to make him blush or freak out because it was funny. He never really connected the facts together until now. He thought she was beautiful, funny,smart and the best weapon maker he'd ever known. Was this what love felt like? The feeling was strange and yet pleasant. As she came back and sat down across from him, he cleared his throat nervously as his hands shook.
"Yes I think we need to have a serious talk. I..I think you should come out as a girl to the school or at very least the headmaster! I..I hate that you feel like you gotta hide! You shouldn't get in trouble for hiding who you are. I have heard that Faunus students hide what they are for fear of persecution. I think they accomplish this by at the very least telling the head master but not the students. I'll stand beside you no matter what you choose to do."
Max then looked down at the table for a moment as he considered how to approach his true feeling for his team mate. It was obvious that he was more nervous then he usually was as he was shaking and wriggling around slightly in his chair. It took a good few minutes for Max to finally take a deep breath and look back up at Ushi.
"As for..your feelings for me..I..I like you too Ushi. I was just afraid of saying anything cause I didn't wanna mess up the whole team dynamic thing ya know? All those times you picked on me or pressed against me I just thought you did it to see me get all flustered and stuff. I never really thought that you liked me liked me. I'm not very good with people, I have trouble understanding them like I do weapons but with you..everything seems so simple. If you want..I'm not promising I'll be good at it but if you want..we can try being together as a couple as well as team mates."
Max then just looked down at the table and exhaled a large nervous breath. This was a big step for him so hopefully he wouldn't fall on his face.
