Hey guys! Originally, I did not plan this to be a chapter by chapter fic. I watched the whole series of RWBY and decided writing a smutty; one shot would be pretty fun for each of the characters. Since I set the timeline a few weeks after the season 2 ending, I developed a story line. Then the storyline grew, I added characters, internal struggles, violent action scenes, romance and, of course, smut. I stopped halfway through and, to my surprise, was 5,000 words down. I figured I should just break it up into chapters, for easier reading convenience, and test out the beginning chapters to see the reactions to it. That being said, this fic is not just primarily about the sex scenes, so if that is why you are reading, I suggest you stop now. I worked pretty hard on the plot, characters, and settings of this fic, so I really hope you guys like it!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT TAKE OWNERSHIP OR CLAIM TO ANY OF THE RWBY WORKS OR CHARACTERS.
THUMP
I sigh and, keeping my eyes closed, smash the pillow protectively over my ears and wait for the screeching to start.
"Every single morning, Ruby! I swear, I don't even know why I set an alarm!" Weiss screams. I peel my eyes open to find a disoriented, sleep wrinkled Ruby sitting on the floor between my and Weiss's bunks.
Mumbling incoherently, Ruby stumbles to her feet and shuffles to the bathroom, managing to hit every piece of furniture in the room on the way. One side of her hair smooth while the other side sticks up in hazardous black and red spikes, her pajama top riding up, and one hand on her tiny waist holding her kitty printed bottoms in place is a pretty common sight in the RWBY dorm room. I glance over to find Weiss puffed up, glaring at the bathroom door Ruby just disappeared behind.
Pulling myself up on one elbow, I say tiredly, "I don't understand why you haven't just traded bunks with her Weiss. You know how Ruby is, and when you yell at her like that, it's like you are scolding a puppy. It's terribly sad to watch." Great, now I sound like a worrying mother.
"I offered! She said the top bunk was customized 'just for her', and I refuse to beg. Maybe if she didn't train her combat skills while sleeping, she wouldn't wake up on the floor every morning." Weiss flips her perfect snow white braid back and raises her dainty chin, a move distinct to Weiss's display of stubbornness.
Yang, who had been snoring in the bunk above mine until now, swings her long legs over the side of the bed and stretches, her wild mane of golden locks piled on top of her head. Without a word, she blinks at us, and a wide smile splits her face.
"Good morning roomies!" she shouts as she gracefully jumps down, landing in the same spot Ruby was sprawled out at moments ago. "Oh, Weiss, you're looking … already pissed. By the looks of Blake's heavy eye baggage, I'm going to venture a guess that little sis played alarm again this morning".
"The eye baggage comment was unnecessary." I touch my cheeks, mildly offended. Yang shoots me an apologetic look.
"God, I don't know how you can sleep through that. She's like a human wrecking ball." Weiss says as she stands and immediately begins making her bed. Her small, slender frame hidden in the pink nightgown at odds next to the tall, curvy figure of Yang, dressed in small shorts and a tight tank top.
"You forget, I lived with that human wreaking ball my entire life. Eventually, you get used to it" she says cheerfully. Ugh, morning people.
Weiss makes a face, "that's what I'm scared of. Getting used to it."
I laugh as I drag myself out of bed and walk over to my side of the dresser I share with Yang, saying over my shoulder "Don't be so dramatic, Weiss. You act as if you haven't slept a day since you've been here."
The bathroom door swings open with a much more awake, freshly showered Ruby standing in the entrance wrapped in a towel. "I agree with Blake, take a chill pill! After all, our classes were canceled today for an assembly so it's already starting off as a great day. I refuse to let your negativity ruin it!"
"Finally! I thought my bladder was going to explode waiting on you!" Yang flashes into the bathroom and slams the door.
There is always so much activity in the morning, and normally I can keep up. The past couple of weeks, however, I've had restless nights filled with nightmares so graphic they leave me jerking awake three to four times a night in a cold sweat. Last night though… last night was worst by far. I shiver as I remember the piercing howl of misery echoing though my latest late night horror, the sound so familiar it makes my heart ache with every beat.
"… Blake!"
Blinking, I shake my head to clear the fog and blink up at Yang, feeling bad at the amount of worry in her expression. I try to train my facial features into what was a reassuring look, and failed.
"I'm okay. Just a little tired, that's all, so don't look at me like that. There's no need for you to be worried about me." Consoling others has never been my forte, especially when expressing concern for my wellbeing. Though, I didn't mean for it to come out as harshly as it did.
Not wanting to feel worse than I already did, I ignored everyone else's stares and practically ran to the large, walk in closet we all share, quickly shutting the door and rested my forehead against the cool wood. Tamping down the unbearable desire to explain why I've been acting so moody lately to my friends is almost impossible; instead I pull out my Beacon Academy uniform and begin to dress.
I slide the brown, plaid skirt over my hips that hit me about mid-thigh and button up the white, short sleeve dress shirt, tucking in the ducktails in the back. I drape the blazer over my arm as I emerge from the closet and finding the rest of my team already dressed in their school uniforms as well . Weiss and Yang fight over the bathroom mirror, cosmetics and hair products scattered as far as the eye can see. Ruby is spread out on her top bunk, her short hair still wet and disheveled under her cherry red head phones, head bobbing to the beat.
Smiling slightly, I locate my brush and comb out the tangles in my long, wavy black hair, taking special care around the sensitive areas around my cat shaped ears. Standing in front of the dresser mirror, I wrap a wide, black ribbon around my head and tie the bow just right so that it encases my ears on the top of my head. Of course, my friends found out that I am Faunus a couple of weeks ago, and without judgment, accepted me just as I am. Still, I am unwilling to parade that information around the rest of the school for fear of persecution and discrimination of my species.
"Uh, guys? What time does the assembly start?" Ruby asks, checking her wrist watch.
"Um, I think at 9:00 am." Weiss says distractedly, pinning her hair in her trademark side ponytail that flows elegantly down to her waist.
"Shit!" Ruby exclaims, propelling herself off the bed and shoving her arms through her blazer sleeves.
I see Yang, mid mascara application, jump in surprise out of the corner of my eye "Ruby, I almost stabbed myself in the eye just now, stop jumping off of shit!"
I glance down at my watch and suddenly get the same jolt of alarm as Ruby. Rushing to lace up my boots, I announce, out of breath "Its 8:56! Professor Goodwitch is going to have our asses if we are late again!"
I really hope you guys enjoyed it, and if you did, I would really appreciate your feedback in a review! I already have chapter 2 locked and loaded, so be expecting it pretty soon! Thanks!
