Author's Note: This is my first Fanfic. I enjoy RWBY. The White Rose and Bumblebee Pairings are my favorite pairings. I hope you enjoy! Feedback is appreciated.
Update, 11/11/14: Grammar and punctuation issues. Also, I took Maple Leaf's advice to all of the first 4 chapters, while improving that which was done on chapters 3 and 4.
Chapter 5 will be updated at a later time.
Title: Best Teammate You Will Ever Have
Characters: Weiss, Ruby, Blake, Yang
Genre: Friendship, Romance
Summary: Ruby wakes up and wonders what changed to make Weiss suddenly so nice.
Sunlight shined into team RWBY's dorm, warming Ruby's face as she slept. She woke up, and stretched, yawning. She had fallen asleep studying. She thought back to the night before.
'Weird dream,' she thought. 'Weiss came in, woke me up and gave me coffee. Then she said she would be the best teammate I would ever have. Weiss wouldn't do that though, would she? It would be nice…to get to know her better.'
She then looked at the time. It read 8:00 am. They had one hour before their class started. She jumped of her bunk, realizing the others were still asleep. She grabbed her whistle, and blew it. Blake jumped at the loud noise.
Weiss sat up and glared at Ruby before saying harshly, "Would you not do that? It was right beside my bed." Yang rolled over and muttered, "Whattimeisit?" Ruby said, "We have one hour before class. We have to go." Blake looked at Ruby for a minute before commenting, "We don't have class today."
Ruby was embarrassed as it dawned on her that Blake was right. She apologized to her team before climbing onto her bed. Yang was already snoring again. Blake decided to read before trying to rest again. Weiss sat on her bed, feeling bad at how she snapped at Ruby.
She was only trying to make us on time for class. So much for 'best teammate you will ever have.' Damn it, Weiss. She tried to think of a suitable way of apologizing.
Meanwhile, Ruby was thinking about what Ozpin had said to her. I messed up. I need to be more on top of things. She rolled over, and noticed a coffee mug by her.
She hear Weiss say from below her bunk, "Ruby, I'm sorry for snapping at you. That wasn't being a good teammate. Maybe you shouldn't stay up all night studying."
Ruby realized that things actually had changed. An idea came to her. "Weiss, maybe later…we could study together? I mean, maybe…" She trailed off, not really knowing what to say.
She heard Weiss reply "Yes, Ruby. Maybe I can give you some tips on studying as well."
Blake looked up from her book and saw Ruby and Weiss seemed happy about the idea, Ruby more so than Weiss. She smiled and teased "so the Ice Princess is coming out of her shell now? You two will be become the best of friends. Weiss will be the best teammate you will ever have."
Weiss glared at her at being called the title 'Ice Princess,' but at Blake's last comment she asked "You were awake?"
Blake laughed. "Yang's snoring kept me up half the night. I honestly don't know how you could have even slept as a child, Ruby."
Ruby immediately looked sad. "I wasn't living with Yang when I was that young,' she said dejectedly. Blake realized she just touched on a sensitive matter and chose to stay silent.
Ruby slid off her bed and said, "I'm going to the cafeteria to eat breakfast now."
Weiss said, "Aren't you going to shower and get dressed? You can't go around looking like you just rolled out of bed."
Ruby thought about it and decided Weiss was right. She grabbed some clothes and went into the bathroom.
Once the door shut, with a bit more force than necessary, Yang sat leaned her head over the bunk and said "That's a very upsetting topic for her, Blakey. And sorry for keeping you up. Nobody ever told me I snored."
Blake looked up wondering if Yang had been faking sleeping. Yang knew her question. "Your laughing woke me up. I wasn't faking. By the way, it's a beautiful sound, Blakey."
Blake felt a bit guilty about waking her partner up, before hearing the compliment and blushing. "Thank you. Wait…Blakey? Did you just call me Blakey?"
Yang asked, "You don't like it?"
Blake hesitated, before replying, "No, I didn't say I didn't like it. I was just surprised."
Yang smiled. "Well, my Beautiful Blakey, maybe we should get some more sleep. Unless you want to keep reading THAT," pointing at the book in her hands, Ninjas of Love.
Blake blushed again at the compliment, then looked down and turned crimson. Yang laughed and said "You're so easy to tease Blakey. Though I have to say your taste in certain," she searched for the right word before, "situations, is interesting."
The black haired girl rushed to put the book away before lying on her bed and facing the wall.
Weiss said "Are you two really that perverted? Blake how could you read that smut?"
Blake sat up and proclaimed, "It's not smut. It's romance that just happens to be a bit descriptive." Then she asked "How do you know what it's about? If you think it's bad, why have you read it?"
Weiss said, "I did a report before on extremely perverted stories. The reviews said that was one of the smuttiest. So I picked it, for a top grade. Which I got."
Blake argued, "It's not smut."
Yang cut in, "Come on, Ice Princess. You can't say you don't have fantasies. Anyone who chooses to write about that, has certain motives."
Weiss yelled, "Don't call me Ice Princess! And No! I don't. It was purely academic!"
Ruby had walked out of the shower just in time to see the last of the argument. She decided Yang had tortured Weiss enough. "Weiss, you can take a shower now. Then let's get to somewhere less unsettling."
Weiss took the opportunity. Ruby glared at her sister. "Yang, don't sabotage her. She's being a good teammate and you are going to push her out. Remember what happened in Signal?"
Yang mock-gasped and said, "Are you blackmailing me, sis? Because I know things that might make your day very embarrassing."
Ruby stared at her and said flatly, "I know worse about you. Besides, I don't feel like secrets should be kept from best friends. So you have nothing."
Yang eyed Ruby carefully before admitting, "Well played."
Ruby said, "By my authority as team leader, I order you, Yang Xiao Long, to keep your perversions to yourself. Otherwise there will be punishment. Now lay down and shut up." And sat on her bed to wait for Weiss.
Yang obliged, grumbling "Team leader punishment. This isn't over."
A/N: There's chapter one. I intend to upload chapters hopefully on a weekly basis. Depends on how my college requirements turn out for the times in question.
Reviews and feedback are welcome.
