A/N: Since I forgot to put this when I put this up the first time.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own RWBY or the RWBYverse in any way, shape or form. All rights belong to Rooster Teeth. The only thing I really own is Azure.

Let this hold for the entire story. I'm not gonna put this up every single time.

It was always the same.

The boy looked across the apocalyptic scene before him. The entire city, one that he knew existed but couldn't remember where it was, was engulfed in flames as streets were torn apart and people all around ran for their lives.

And he stood in the middle of it all. He looked at his immediate surroundings; also the same as every single time before. To his left was a girl no older than him, who was merely sitting on the ground gazing upwards with fear contorting her face. He glanced down at his right arm and saw that it was bleeding profusely, staining his jacket all the way down to his pants.

Then there was the sight in front of him-a giant swirling ball of black flames that menacingly kept it's shape looming above the two children. The boy took in the scene one more time; now the crowds of terrified bystanders were replaced by soldiers, with what looked to be a married couple and their daughter screaming something that he couldn't hear.

He knew what happened next. But all he could do was play along.

"Take my body then!"

The girl was now looking right at him, fear replaced with confused shock.

"I don't care what it is you need or why you need it...as long as nobody else gets hurt, you can take what you need from ME!"

The sphere of flames unfolded and brought the boy into its painfully delicate embrace.

"Azure."

He opened his eyes to see a dark room, decorated elegantly in white with only the moon illuminating a small patch from the window.

It was the same as always, that dream. He'd replayed it so many times that he wasn't sure if it could be called a memory anymore. For all intents and purposes, he was reliving that day far too much.

Finally coming to his senses, he looked beside him and saw her lying next to him with an uneasy look on her face.

Blushing a bit from the sudden closeness, he jolted up and away from her.

"Ugh, dammit Weiss, what are you doing in my bed?"

Weiss stood up now, but never broke her gaze at him.

"You know why I'm here, idiot. With your constant thrashing about in your sleep, I could hear you from across the hall."

As she said this, she crawled over to him to wipe away the tears she wasn't sure he knew he had shed.

"I know, I know...but really, I'm fine now, Weiss, so just go back to your room. I can't imagine you didn't wake up Winter when you came over here."

"But, Azure-"

"Nope. Go."

But she clearly wasn't giving up just yet.

"I'm staying."

"...You're seriously doing this now?"

"Remember when you first started living with us? We shared a room, and whenever you started crying in your sleep, I climbed into bed with you."

Azure raised an eyebrow at this. "What exactly are you saying? That was years ago, we're both fourteen now."

Weiss blushed the slightest bit. "I know...but...I still don't like seeing you like that...so…"

Azure could already see where this was going, and not only was he too tired to put up with it, he secretly wanted some company.

"Save the guilt trip, Weiss. Go to sleep already."

And with that, he curled back up in his sheets and was out. Weiss was still for a moment, looking over the gradually calming face of her adoptive brother. After a few moments, a small smile escaped her lips.

"Goodnight to you, too, Azure."

"Hm."

And then, quietly enough so Azure couldn't hear;

"Sweet dreams...I...love you…"
