"Thank you~ And to be honest I think I've only had it cut once in my life and only because Dad told me to," she offered with a small smile. "And here I thought I was the corny one out of the two of us." She gave a small giggle before tossing a piece of candy towards him.

He catches the piece piece of candy in his mouth, as he listened to her speak. She thought she was the corny one~? Hmmm... He wondered. "You? Corny? M'dear, I come from a generation that was raised off of corn. You know, children of corn~?" He grinned a bit. "Frankly, I enjoy the fact that you're corny~. You keep my life entertaining and going with a bang~... Or was it a 'Yang'? Sometimes it's hard to keep up with the 'Slang'. Or what's been going on in a gang~. Particularly when you're around to cause such 'Pangs'~." Yang slightly felt his hand on her back before it went to his chest. "Sometimes, it is just hard to let such feelings hang~."
Okay, that was significantly enough making a fool out of himself.

Yang attempted to glare at the thief before bursting into laughter. She squirmed slightly in his arms before turning to face him. A glint of mischief showed in the blonde's eyes. "The Corn is strong in this one," she teased before kissing him on the neck. She scooted up just to have her eyes meet his. "So if you were born in Remnant what would your weapon be? She looked over her shoulder. "That poor tauntaun...."

"Well, whatever it takes to survive..." He grins at Han Solo's famous line, sorely tempted to put a new spin on it for the sight before him. IT wasn't like Lizzie was going to be here to groan at it. Still nah, that'd be too obvious for the moment. Instead, he reciprocated by kissing Yang on the forehead and taking a moment to consider her question... "Well... It would be hard imagining myself fighting without my good old rackets... Though can you imagine what it looked like if I somehow still had them~? All of my opponents would be looking at me funny... Just before I smacked them in the faces and sent them flying like tennis balls. And as for long range... Well.. I think a Sniper Rifle would make sense. I mean, as a thief I'm pretty much the stealth kill guy." He considers this some more looking at Yang deeply. "Admittably however, if I was born in Remnant, I doubt I would've thought to make or get a racket... I'd probably go more traditional.... Maybe a Pick-axe? Pick-axe combined with a magnum Revolver."
He notes the look and just grins. "Well... Why NOT a pick-axe? It's a functioning weapon, a digging tool AND perfect for climbing. It's like the Swiss-army knife that way~. I guarantee you Yang, if I was born in Remnant, I would probably have popularized the Pickaxe option SOMEHOW~."

Yang smiled. "That definitely would be a sight," Yang offered. "Just hopefully your team and mine wouldn't have to face off in the Vytal Festival. I wouldn't want to wreck your pretty face." The blonde smiled as she talked in a teasing tone. 'If only the girls could see me now... I'm dating a thief and a man that can swipe aura with out a second thought. Blake would scold me, Weiss wouldn't approve and Ruby might warm up to him after meeting Lizzie,' she thought before kissing him again. Her hands seemed to gently run over his arms.

Wreck his pretty face? Well that was fairly confidant of her-OH WHO WAS HE KIDDING. If he took on Yang during that tournament, she would've done that and THEN SOME if he was unlucky enough. Maybe broken bones. He'd seen what she did to some of the competitors in that tournament... "Well I guess it's a good thing I didn't grow up in Remnant then~." Just as he finished that sentence up, Yang pulled him in for a kiss, running her hands down his arms.
Goosebumps... Just freaking goosebumps...
Alex returned the gesture, smiling widely as he kissed her on the lips chastely, pulling her close and rubbing her back gently... A moment after, he ran a few fingers through her hair, feeling it's soft, silky, clean luster, though doing his best not to pull anything by accident. He felt like his heart was going to explode just from feeling too much as he kissed her again, on the nose, then on lips...
He wanted to kiss her deeply... But no, that'd be a little too forward. It would be better if Yang did that... For now, this was enough, just exchanging little heartfelt kisses as they held each other close...
-------------------------------
An hour passed...
The events in Cloud City transpired onscreen as Han Solo, Leia and Chewbacca were handed over to Vader by Lando. However, both due to guilt, and Vader going back on his word, Lando decided to backstab the empire and save Leia and Chewie... Unfortunately unsuccessful in saving Han Solo whom had been sealed in Carbonite and Boba Fett escaping with Solo on his ship to rush to obtain a bounty placed on Solo's head by Jabba the Hutt.
.... By that point, Alex and Yang had once more shifted, Alex was laid down on the couch with Yang on top of him, head on his chest and hands under her. Alex meanwhile kept her close, upper body laid back against the arm of the couch and arms wrapped around Yang as the movie continued on. In that amount of time, the two had decided to get even more comfortable, Alex wearing his new Steven Universe based sleeveless shirt and pajama pants. "And friendship shines through... If only he could've done that sooner though... He pouted. "Still, there is some good news~. Next up? LIGHTSABER DUEL."

Yang seemed to purr as she snuggled her boyfriend. "Yeah it could have helped. And If I remember correctly- it's the most epic one~" the blonde offered as she went to kiss Alex a bit deeper than the earlier ones had been. Instead of the yellow hoodie, t-shirt, and jeans she had arrived in- Yang had donned her purple Rage top and and black gym shorts as PJs.

The deeper kiss had caught him by surprise a great deal... But a moment later, he reciprocated it, arms slightly tightening around Yang possessively as she did, eyes glazing over then closing in contentment all the while.... When Yang separated from him, his eyes were closed and his lips were still puckered, a delayed reaction to the separation... When he realized she had separated though (and likely giggling uncontrollably at the goofy expression), he opened his eyes and his expression evened out, forming a lovestruck and dreamy smile, matched only by his red cheeks. "Hueheheheh~~~~~..."
Luke had arrived at Cloud City on the screen, for what little remaining attention was being paid to the screen... Well... Alex was having trouble honestly. How could he dedicate ANY attention to the screen if he had such a captivating guest as Yang to entertain as well? He swore it was impossible. IMPOSSIBLE!
Oh wait! Lightsaber battle. Can't miss that!
He gave Yang another sweet kiss on the nose before turning to the TV. Darth Vader had just pulled out his lightsaber, prompting Luke to do the same in Self-defense. As he watched, he kept his arms latched around Yang, holding her close, pressing her body against his. Coming from someone usually so ticklish, the feeling was amazingly comforting and astonishingly tantalizing. "Here we go~."

Yang gave a pout before looking to the screen. Oh! Right that was part she liked was on! She gave a chuckle as she watched. Her eyes followed Darth's red saber as the sceen continued.
-
Meanwhile Todd had started to worry seeing as it had gotten dark and Yang still had yet to return. The man gulped seeing that she hadn't fished out the Ember Cecelia from their usual hiding place. "Yang... where are you and are you okay?" Todd thought out loud as he donned a coat and headed out of the hotel room.

Back in the apartment...
"If you only knew the power of the dark side. Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father..."
"He told me enough! It was you who killed him!!"
"No. I am your father."
Darth Vader's proclamation was enough to shut Luke right up and gaze at the masked sith lord with horrified eyes. ".... Awkward." Alex stated in a flat-faced manner, grinning somewhat. Yes he was horrible. But he'd seen this moment so many times before. And now came the moment where Luke would yell out-
"No. No. That's not true!!! That's impossible!!!"
"Search your feelings. You know it to be true."
"NO... NO!! NOOOOO!!!!!"
"Sheesh, and I thought I had problems with overly dramatic family." It was getting increasingly more difficult to take this moment seriously with Alex talking over it with that grin on his face. "OH MY GOD DAD, REALLY? YOU JOINED THE SITH?? WHAT? AND ABANDONING ME AS A BABY WASN'T TRAUMATIZING ENOUGH?? Hehehehehehe~!" Yes. Yes he was a horrible person for laughing. XD

"You aren't the only one. Never attempt to fight a speed demon for the last homemade cookie...." Yang offered in reply with a chuckle. "But you do have to note that Darth did lop off Luke's upper arm and cauterized the wound just before saying that though. I think worse father of the century award goes to-" she does a few playful paps on her boyfriend's back as a drumroll "Darth Vader!"
-
Todd was roaming the city looking for his roommate who seemed more like a little sister to him.
A red blur passed by him with a trial of rose petals behind the runner.

Alex laughed as Yang played the drums on his back. Okay, it was definitely getting to the point where the two were having a great deal of fun. Maybe it was the lack of sleep that was letting the two bond so well, but, as he sat on the floor, Yang's chin on his head from being on the couch, arms dangling over him, he found he didn't care about that~. Cracking jokes, enjoying the movie their own way, the jokes were flowing out naturally, the two were talking naturally... They were really and truly having fun... And it made Alex's heart flutter more and more that this was the case...
Often, being around girls he was interested in meant turning into a stuttering mess.....
But it was different with Yang.
She had a kind of confidence about her. Not one that made her appear snooty... But a type of confidence that she naturally showed that she gave to those she met. Or... At least... A kind of confidence that she gave to him... Maybe there was rough spots but...
He wanted to believe that there was so many good signs here.
"So um, Yang. I actually have a question on the topic of dads." He lifts an eyebrow to her. On screen, Luke had fallen down the shaft of the Sky City to soon find himself dangling over thousands of miles of open sky. "What kind of person is your dad like? He's one of the few people that isn't really shown in RWBY, so I've always been curious."

Yang kissed the top of Alex's head. "He teaches at Sigil. After my mom disappeared, he went for another former teammate- Summer... Who I did call Mom for the time she was with us. You saw the flash back in Burning the Candle, and you know how that ended. But Dad is supportive even if he's not always there when you need him. He is a Hunter after all... so my relation to him is kinda strained and hardly there," Yang answered. "And your folks? What were they like and would they have approved of me?"

.... Alex chuckled sadly...
.... Then he closed his eyes... Just trying to imagine it. Just trying to imagine finding that old place again... Just trying to find that old house, now stretched and built up to the size of a tower reaching the Stratosphere... And inside that house around the first floor? A kind mid-aged woman wearing doctor scrubs along with a white-headband and sweatbands, totally ready for the end of the world and to be the bad-ass doctor her child and his powerful but absolutely HOPELESS friends needed her to be... At the same time however, he could see her dining room filled to the brim with snacks in case they just came seeking emotional and mental support...
His mother was a fighter.
Then he imagined her. A bratty, screaming, rebellious girl that would constantly complain, silently grieving the loss of a social life and finding herself even more trapped then ever before... He recalled how much she would have loved the island, to see so many characters that she loved as a child... The characters she loved in secret as a teenager... Then he recalled her as a fighter, pounding imps heads in with buckets, ladders, shovels and whatever weapon she found nearby.
His sister was a fighter.
His entire family were fighters.
He smiled at the warm mental image and looked to Yang with a sad smile.
"My mother adjusted to the insanity of SBURB pretty well after a while, once we gave her work... She was tough as nails, gritty, no-nonsense... I think she would have adored you... And my sister? Well... I think she'd appreciate the new ear to bitch about life too. God knows life was tough back in the good old days." He chuckled some more... "There isn't a dad... Because mom divorced him an odd number of years ago and had been trying to remarry since then..." .... He started laughing, happily, amused, bitterly... "He used to always joke that if I ever found someone it'd be someone homely. And he always had that tone where you knew he meant nothing insulting by it, that I could walk in to his home with literally anyone and he would've been happy for me... I didn't make it normal habit to socialize you see... People wouldn't have been too far off the mark assuming that interacting with other people scared me back when..." he continued laughing... and crying.
He remembered... That he once cried this miserably back during the game... Back when the reality of everything he lost had hit him. He physically shut down, and for almost days he neither slept nor ate... It felt like he was starting to relapse. His breathing growing shallow and heavy...

Yang untangled herself from his form and moved to sit on the floor besides him. The usually strong willed woman pulled Alex close in an attempt to comfort him. "Hey if you go through with this restart thingy this Forsaken chick has come up with, You get your family back... Right? I know you miss them now but they'll always be with you. Sure you can't see them but they're there rooting you on, wanting you to succeed, and keep fighting," she offered trying to cheer the thief up.
-
Todd was currently distracted as he followed what looked to be fresh red rose petals on the ground. He himself hovering slightly so that whatever was leaving the trail wouldn't hear him coming.
