Yo. I got back from seeing a few family friends/cousins recently and I've had a sort of writing block. Ugh. Anyway this isn't really fluffy but it explains things that are going on between team JPNR in this fic and how they become a close team again. I've also tried to space it out even more, hopefully this works better than last time, by using short paragraphs. Anyway I'm going to go and write another chapter. Sorry for the delay and don't forget to R and R, Kawaiimafokushi
Note: I don't own RWBY
Light streams out of the window as a certain raven haired ninja's eyes flutter open revealing her auric orbs, her pupils becoming smaller due to the shifting brightness of the room. A hiss escapes her mouth as her long locks are tugged back by a certain weight resting behind her head as she attempts to turn and face her lover. "Ugh Yang move you arm." She groans. Her voice comes out as a mere grumble and her eyes cast to the right only to reveal sleeping Yang drooling on a cream colored cushion. 'Wait when did we get that?' Blearily, the girl waits for her vision to come into focus once more.
After what seems like an eternity, the girl's vision finally clears only to reveal a silvery pool of drool and a pair of lightly tanned abs peeking from a white shirt. "What the hell?" She questions while blinking a few times and flicking her arm. "Yes there are three of you in a bed." A sudden exasperated voice states. In an instant, the ninja's head flicks to her left, much to her discomfort, only to reveal her white haired teammate sitting cross legged on the floor, head resting against the wall. "Are you okay Weiss?" Blake questions still keeping her tired gaze on the girl.
"I'm fine. Just fine."
"Something's wrong. I know it is." The white haired girl turns to look at her.
"I don't know anymore…" Blake cocks her head to the side not understanding the other girl's statement.
"I don't know if I'm doing anything right anymore. When my father dies what am I supposed to do?" Blake sighs. "Well it's not going to happen anytime soon so we have time to figure it out." Weiss groans before slumping onto the wall even more. "That's not the problem is it?" Silently, the girl curses.
"Ruby said that we should take a break." Suddenly, a shudder of surprise rushes down Blake's spine as she only stares, taken aback by her sudden statement. "What… Happened?"
"We had an argument about our future and she stormed off saying that we shouldn't speak for a while." Hot tears begin to stream down her face as she hugs her knees closer to her face.
Gently, the raven haired girl shoves the two sleeping blondes behind her rousing them awake. Sun's hand brushes her back before he rubs his eyes while Blake simply shakes her head vigorously forcing her vision to work. "Mornin'." Yang greets lazily only to be hushed by her lover.
"Weiss where did Ruby go?"
"I… Don't know." More tears roll down her face as she looks up at the two new faces behind Blake's head. "Listen. I'm sure that she'll be back soon enough and forgotten about the entire thing. I bet we can make her apologize too." The white haired girl casts a glance up at the long haired blonde after her statement and cracks a small smile. "Thank you." She whispers hoarsely.
"Now c'mere cupcake." Sun grins while stretching his arms out comfortingly. Reluctantly, the white haired girl trudges over to the three and joins them snuggling into Sun's warm arms while Yang brushes her matted ponytail and Blake simply sits there, awaiting their leader's return.
A few hours pass as the four still wait for Ruby's return. "Yang where do you think Ruby is?" Blake questions while glancing down at her girlfriend who is holding Zwei in one arm and somehow eating a bowl of cereal in the other. "Dunno." The blonde replies with her mouth full and drops of milk spilling out of her mouth. "Probably with team JPNR."
"We were with them last night." Weiss agrees while shifting away from Sun and his boxer clad lap.
"Ruby can't really tolerate alcohol I don't think." Sun grins while leaping down from the bed with ease and slipping his pants on. "I can go and check team JPNR's room. I really don't mind."
"I'll come with you." Yang agrees. "Ruby's my sister and it's my job to guide her."
Brusquely, the two leave the room and knock on the other team's dorm door. "Who is it?" Jaune's bleary voice greets the two blondes as the door swings open. There Jaune stands, hair tousled, shirt rumpled and fingers trembling. "What happened?" Yang asks while not daring to look down at his naked lower body. "I drank a bottle of tequila and went to sleep forty minutes ago." He replies while swallowing the combination of bile and alcohol which had trickled into his mouth. Suddenly, Nora slides behind Jaune and grasps onto the door for dear life as she loses her footing. "Uh is Ruby here?" Yang questions while watching the perky, and obviously drunk, girl pull herself up on the door handle and then glances behind Jaune. "I think so." He replies while turning around and peering around the room before disappearing.
A few murmurs and groans later, the blonde captain returns with the dark haired Ren behind him who simply yawns and looks at the two blondes at the door. "Is Ruby here?" Yang questions once more giving the raven haired boy no time to ask why the brawler is at their door in the first place. "Yeah she is." He replies groggily. "She came in at some ridiculous hour crying and she managed to stagger into my bed while the other loons were still drinking. Suddenly, a spear sails just past his head eliciting a flinch from him. "I am NOT a loon." It's Pyrrha who perks up and glowers at her teammate who simply sighs.
"Did Ruby say anything like explain why she was crying?"
"She did mention one thing about Weiss before crying once again." He replies before he grunts suddenly as Nora pulls down on his arm lifting herself up onto him. "Is she still here?" Sun pipes up peering around the struggling boy. "Yeah she's still asleep. I'll go and get her." Shaking his best friend off, he vanishes into the room briefly only to come back with the sleeping girl in his arms. "Thanks." Yang smiles while taking the girl and hoisting her sleeping body over her shoulders.
As quickly as it opens, team JPNR's door shuts once more leaving the two blondes alone in the corridor until they open the door back into their room. "Look who it is." Yang grins while gently lying her sister down onto her bed. In an instant, Weiss shoots up and stands over the girl who just barely stirs. "We'll just leave you two to talk." Yang states quickly while handing Blake a pair of shorts, in which she slips on with ease, and shoves the two out of the room along with her leaving the two girls alone. "Where are we going?" Blake hisses while turning back towards the dorm. "To train. Leave them alone." The blonde replies while sliding her hand into her tanned lover's. With a defeated sigh, the ninja turns around once again and the three retreat to the dojo.
"I don't think this is working anymore." Silently, the three slip around the corner and halt staring at the scene. There sits fox, donned in his usual orange sleeveless vest, while Lie Ren leans against the wall. "What do you mean?" The tanned boy asks turning slightly to face the paler boy.
"I don't think that Coco is really… For me." His Ponytail shifts from his back just slightly as he positions himself to get to run. "I see" He replies simply while turning back around. "It's not because of the height difference right?" His ponytail jolts as he freezes in surprise. "Because she's only 5'7 without those heels."
"I see."
"She's alright you know. As long as she doesn't hit you with her handbag." Ren laughs shortly while stretching. "I'll think about it." He replies simply before leaving. "I think that velvet is more my type."
"Just like Nora then." Lie Ren stops in his tracks. "Be careful on who you compare." He warns before stalking off once more.
"Maybe we shouldn't train here." Sun remarks quietly while leading the two girls away from the dojo. "Hey Ren, you wanna train?" Yang calls while Blake facepalms. Silently, the raven haired boy trots up to the trio. "Sure." He replies while steering to another part of the school. "So how did you find last night?" Sun questions while grabbing his staff, which is in nun chuck form, from his pockets and straightening it out. "It was okay. I didn't really drink too much." The dark haired boy replies simply while walking up to a sandbag and begins to gently wrap his knuckles with bandage and sprinkles it with powder. "I was like the parent keeping everyone in check."
"I see." Blake yawns while resting on Yang's shoulder eliciting a small smile from the blonde.
"Well I saw a seven foot pyramid made out of beer cans outside of the dorm room's window." The monkey faunus grins while vaulting himself up from his staff and delivering a kick to another sandbag before leaping back when the punching bag swings back once more and hitting it with his staff. "That was Jaune and Pyrrha's idea built by Nora and begrudgingly myself." Ren explains while throwing a right hook at his punching bag then spins on his heel to face the punching bag at a new angle and delivers a swift but powerful left hook onto the bag. "Sounds fun." Yang grins before swiftly kissing Blake on the cheek and walking up to the final sandbag. "Come back." Blake whines while sauntering over to her blonde lover and delivers a quick kiss to the cheek.
"How do you think Ruby and Weiss are doing?" Blake questions suddenly quite tired of watching Yang furiously pummel a sandbag however fascinating and probably dangerous it is. "I think pretty well." The blonde replies with a smirk before tossing the cat faunus her room key. "Listen." Gently, the faunus uncovers her ears and rests the device on her lap. "I'm so so sorry Weiss I just-" Ruby starts.
"NO! No it's my fault I just overreacted!" Weiss buts in with a shaky sigh. "I just love you and I don't want you to be scared of my father."
"I love you too but what if he forbids us to date?" Ruby counters choking back a sob.
"Well he can't. I am eighteen years old." She fires back simply. The device picks up a few shifts. "I love you." Weiss finally whispers after a few moments of silence.
"I love you too." Ruby replies.
Blake listens to the two for a few more minutes still watching Yang and the others train against the sandbags. "Yang turn it off!" Blake nearly screams as her face turns bright red. Quickly, Ren, Yang and Sun trot up to the dark haired girl and all listen in on the device. "Oh Christ." Yang states while snatching the device from her lover's hands and ending the call. "Well…" Ren mumbles while casting his glance downwards in sheer embarrassment. "I didn't think they'd do that right there and then." Yang laughs nervously. "Well we are all teenagers aren't we?" Sun questions while stretching and splaying his abs once more. Both Blake and Yang gulp while Ren walks away. "I guess we are." Ren replies simply while delivering another forceful punch to the sandbag.
"You seem pretty angry Ren." The blonde faunus observes while drinking from the water cooler.
"It's just Nora." He growls while delivering an uppercut onto the sandbag.
"What about her?" He asks while observing Yang slipping out of the room and Blake pulling her back.
"She's dating Cardin." He replies while baring his teeth. Sun turns silent and lets out a simple "oh" while observing the other boy let out a primal growl and ram his fist into the sandbag driving it forward violently.
"Stupid fucking Cardin." The punching bag shudders slightly on its chains as it swings back towards the raven haired boy who drives his fist forwards once more. "He might have changed…" Sun suggests doubting his opinion. Suddenly, Ren catches the sandbag and glances at the other boy. "I don't know. I don't trust him with her." He replies while pummeling the bag once more. "I can't believe that she had just cast my feelings aside and…" Suddenly, he drives his foot forwards. A snap sounds throughout the room and a thud is heard as the chain snaps and the sandbag drops onto the floor. "Dated an asshole like him." Ren doesn't stop his onslaught, throwing himself down and straddling the piece of equipment while Blake and Yang simply watch from a distance.
"Ren it's alright." Sun comforts the other boy while leading the boy away and standing the sandbag up. "I really don't think violence will solve the problem." The raven haired boy turns to the faunus who simply pats him on the back comfortingly. "I know but when I wake up I think of Nora, when I train with her, when I eat with her, when I'm in class, when we text in class even when I'm kissing Coco." He explains. Everyone freezes.
"HOLD ON WHAT?!" Yang nearly screams while rushing up to the raven haired boy. "You're dating COCO?!" Ren shrugs while observing Yang with Blake by her side in an instant.
"It's really not working with us." The quiet warrior replies slumping against the fountain. "I can't forget Nora." Yang nods nearly bursting with questions. However, Blake hushes her before she can explode into a flurry of inquisitiveness. "I'd hate to say this but I'd suggest either wait or move on." Blake states while stretching out and wrapping herself around Yang's arm getting a questioning look from the raven haired boy. "I guess you're right." He mutters before unwrapping his fists and leaving the training room with three very concerned friends in his wake.
