Yin and Yang (Male reader x Yang Xiao Long)

Chapter 52

(Readers POV)

Yang: Home sweet home.

Me, Yang, and Ruby returned to their house in the woods.

Ruby: I missed this place! I can't wait to surprise dad!

We all walked up to the front door and Ruby knocked on it.

Tai: Just a minute!

I heard him shout through the door. After a bit of waiting, he opened the door.

Ruby and Yang: Surprise!

Tai: Girls!

He wrapped his arms around them in a tight hug.

Tai: I was so worried about you. Please don't ever make me worry like that ever again.

They broke the hug.

Tai: You three must be tired. Come in.

(Y/N): Thanks.

We all walked in. I saw Zwei run up to me and barked at me. I picked him up.

(Y/N): I missed you too.

He licked my face and barked again. I smiled at him and rubbed his head. Zwei jumped out of my hands and went up to Ruby and Yang.

Tai: Zwei has been worried for you three.

Tai noticed that Yang doesn't have her robot arm anymore.

Tai: Hey Yang. Do you need a "hand"?

Yang: It would be very "handy".

I groaned. Do they have to tell jokes?

Tai: If you need help with anything, help is always in "arms" reach.

Tai and Yang started to laugh together. At least they think their jokes are good. A knocking on the front door interrupted their joking session.

Tai: Man. I'm very popular today.

Tai walked to the door and opened it. I looked past Tai and saw my mom.

Dye: Hey... Tai.

Tai: Hey... Dye.

The two just stood there for a second in awkward silence.

Tai: So... What brings you here?

Dye: Oh, Yang left the motorcycle I got her in Atlas and I'm bringing it back to her. It's outside right now.

Yang: Oh yeah. Thanks.

Tai: Wait, what happened to her original motorcycle?

I thought about it. I remember Yang driving it into someone, but I can't remember who. I just shrugged at Tai.

Tai: Geez.

He looked back at my mom.

Dye: I also brought Yang a new arm.

She reached into a bag and pulled out a yellow robot arm. Mom tossed it to Yang and she caught it.

Yang: Does it have new features?

Tai: That makes two.

Ruby: Three actually.

Tai: What? Yang, stop losing arms!

Yang: I guess they're not as "handy" as you'd think.

Tai: Ha. That's a good one.

I saw my mom put her hand on Tai's shoulder.

Dye: I was wondering... If you wanted to catch up and hang out, like we used to do.

Tai: Uh, sure. I'm pretty free today.
