Ruby walked down the halls of the student dormitories, balancing several of Blake's books on her head. A few times the books nearly fell over, but the leader of Team RWBY fixed her stance and kept them balanced. She walked past her team's and JNPR's dorm rooms.
"ONE LAP DOWN! NINE TO GO!" she yelled in celebration.
Of course her record was broken when her room's door opened, the surprise tripping Ruby over and knocking over the books.
"Oh, that took a half hour," Ruby sighed, "BLAKE! What are you doing here?!"
"I live here," she looked at the books on the floor, "Are those my books?"
Ruby avoided eye contact and quietly spoke, "Maybe."
She handed Blake every sequel she owned to Ninjas of Love, "Exactly why were you balancing books on your head?"
"I don't know, I just felt like doing something. I don't have anything else to do," Ruby looked at one of the books Blake held, "ACTUALLY BLAKE! CAN YOU READ ME ONE OF YOUR STORIES!"
"Well I was busy with-
"PLEASE JUST READ TO ME FOR TEN MINUTES AND I'LL LEAVE YOU ALONE!"
Blake looked at Ruby's hopeful eyes and relented to her team leader, "Ok, just sit on," Blake was already sitting on the covers of her bed before she finished her sentence, "Yeah."
Blake walked to Ruby and sat down next to her, "So, what did you want me to read you?"
"How about this, I always see you reading it at night," Ruby held up Ninja's of Love.
"You are too young to read that,"
"Oh. Well can you read me that book you talked about when we met? The one about the guy with the two souls?"
"Well, I'm sorta almost done with it, so I don't know if I want to-
"Please, Blake. It could refresh your memory about what's been going on,"
"Fine, I'll read it to you. Just be quiet," Blake opened her book and started reading it to Ruby.
Blake hadn't expected Ruby to be so attentive to her reading. She started to believe that Ruby had listened to Yang tell her stories when they were kids. While she read, every so often she glanced at Ruby who was still watching her read with no hint of boredom.
Blake read more of her book to RWBY, quickly becoming invested into the plot again. What was supposed to have been ten minutes turned into two hours of reading, but Blake never noticed the time going by for them.
"And when he saw himself he. AUUUUUGGH! I think I've read to you for more than ten minutes, Ruby," Blake yawned and glanced at young scythe-wielder, asleep sprawled over her bed.
Blake smiled at the younger girl and carried her to her bunk, and laid her under the covers.
Yang wandered around the library looking for Blake, "Blake! Blake! Where are you?" she whispered yelled.
"Yang what are you doing?!"
Yang turned to Weiss sitting in a corner studying several books, "Looking for Blake. What are you doing, Weiss?"
"Studying, what else could I be doing?"
"Sleeping?"
"Is what I'm doing look like sleeping?"
"No?"
"Well it's not. I am studying for Port's next exam," Weiss looked away from Yang, "Because I fell asleep through most of it."
"Well no one blames you for sleeping through that," Yang sat next to the heiress, "Let you in on a secret. I hide a pillow in that class."
"I know I've seen that pillow. Everyone has seen that pillow,"
"Except Port,"
"Yes, except him. Surprisingly,"
Yang watched Weiss study for a few minutes before growing bored, "Well, I'm getting tired. I think I'm gonna take a nap. And Weiss, if you ever want to share that pillow in Port's class, you can anytime."
Weiss spat out her coffee, "And what do you mean by that?!"
She saw Yang leaving the library, her cheeks turning to a bright shade of red.
