Your Bed
Sky's black cloak enveloped the view of shadowy Beacon as Weiss Schnee sat down on a soft wooden bench wrapped in a thick soft silver coat, taking in the sights and sounds of the town that lay dead as it slept. Murky grey roads thickened with feathers fall as snow began to drift gently to the ground. The dull vaporous remnants of sweet smelling scents from the bakeries and the candy shops were cast aside by the swift northern kiss of air, chilling her to her bones. Weiss immediately put on her gloves and found as much warm as she could by gently brushing her hands across her arms. The night was cold, the view was dark and Weiss was becoming more and more impatient; until finally, she began to unravel.
Ruby Rose!...how could you bring me out here at this ungodly time of night..?
The touch of frost heiress began to silently plot revenge moments ahead of their rendezvous.
Just wait until I get my hands on you..
Then, just like clockwork, the soft sight of racing red and battle-metal sheen glistening in the distance, came into view. Finally...you dolt.. her mood now settling now that she'd arrived.
"Weiss it's me!" approached Ruby, holding two cups of hot coco. "Heya!" smiled the short dark red head as she pulled up opposing Weiss, sporting her usual red colouring lathered with a thick coat and woolly hat. The snow haired girl sighed to herself in condemnation. "Of course it's you Ruby! Who else is insane enough to drag me out at this hour?" slowly breathing into her cupped hands to stay warm. "That's why I brought us these!" Ruby respondedhanding a cup of warm, sweet scented hot chocolate to Weiss. "These will keep us warm!" Weiss rolled her eyes. It amazed her just how much of a dunce Ruby could be; maybe it was her child like innocence that played the main role in this girl's life, maybe it was just stupidity - the possibilities were endless Weiss thought to herself. Either way Weiss knew Ruby was her team mate and she made the decision to heed her team leader's request to come out here to talk.
"Do you not..want it?" lingered Ruby noticing Weiss' expression while she held her head in thought.
"Give it here.." she replied, taking a cup into her hand and holding it in front of her like soothing heat from a campfire. Weiss noticed Ruby seemed dismayed. "Thank you Ruby" smiling at her and as she cleared space for her partner to sit.
Ruby smiled in awe and sat down next to her. "Anything for my BFF!" barely containing her glee as she nudged Weiss softly in her side. Weiss of course rolled her eyes again. She decided to take a small sip from her cup and immediately found her taste buds annihilated with sweetness. "Unf..Ruby..did you put sugar in this?" she blurted, wiping her mouth from the excess on her lip. "Yep five sugars..just how you like them" came the innocent closed eyes and sickly sweet smile from Ruby's face. Weiss looked at her cup, then glossed over Ruby's and then back at Ruby herself. "But that's how 'you' take your hot drinks Ruby. I prefer mine bland.." the heiress said with a slight frosty tone. "Ah..." said Ruby.
Weiss now gave her a disfavoured look as she awaited a better response.
"I...panicked?" came the unconfident reply from her partner.
Weiss sighed and decided to change the subject. "So Ruby, why did you decide to bring us both out here anyway?"
"Right!" remembered Ruby, her thoughts coming back to the present.
"Umm...have you ever...liked someone?" the little girl asked her partner as she glanced upwards at the lightly drifting snow. "L..liked someone!?"
A cracking sound came from underneath Weiss as one of the wooden beams under the bench snapped and with a small whelp the ice queen tried to regain her brief balance saving the spill of her sickly sweet hot drink.
"W-what's that supposed to mean?" she barked in a futile attempt to mask her little faux pas.
"I don't know...okay" replied Ruby, her voice becoming more hesitant by the second. "..I've never talked about this kind of stuff before. I wanted to see if you could help" now bashfully looking down at the floor.
Weiss didn't know what to think, her mind began to find any signs of what this could mean, for her..for both of them. She can't possibly be thinking about...not between us..I mean not that I...what am I thinking? she began to feel herself blush a little.
The heiress' eyes fluttered in a full circle before finally meeting her partners. "Ruby you don't make m-much sense, you are beginning to sound very auspiciou-s" she pouted, crossing her arms towards her.
"Um.. don't you mean suspi..?" corrected Ruby, the innocent tone allowing Weiss to quickly realise her mistake.
"..y-yes that's what I said" interrupted Weiss swiftly. "Now tell me what you mean this instant!"
Ruby looked down at her cup and saw the hot steam racing upwards towards her, the heat beating away the cold as it warmed her entire face like scorching sunlight.
"It's about my sis." she spoke softly.
Weiss face perplexed slightly in response. "Yang? What about her?" she asked.
"I'm trying to find out if she's interested in anyone. She won't tell me. I'm worried about her." the little sister confessed.
"You're worried about who Yang might be interested in? C'mon Ruby" scoffed Weiss in response. "She is so flirty she could be with anyone for five minutes and we'd all know about it"
"But..since we all met..she's not been interested in any guys at all. In fact I'd say she's changed, she only ever seems to talk about one person in particular all the time." .
"..well then who is it?" insisted Weiss.
"Promise not to tell anyone?" pleaded Ruby
"sigh...I promise Ruby"
"Our other team member" stated Ruby, taking a sip from the cup.
"Her partner...Blake."
The cat eared faunus stared dormant out of the dorm room window, watching the gentle winter coat dress the ground as the snow continued to fall outside. Head on her hand Blake began to get caught up in her worrying thoughts of the White Fang. What if they ever made it to beacon? What if they attacked and no one knew how to defend themselves from the slaughter...what if he...
"It was said speech is silver..but silence is golden sometimes" came suddenly from behind her as the dorm door slowly hinged open with a shadowy figure stood in the doorway. Blake slowly turned her head and could make our her blonde haired partner, walking in slowly with two cups in her hands, steaming heat pouring from the tops of them; the sweet wisp of peach tea fluttering closer to her senses as Yang approached her side. "Summer told me that one." she added, holding out a cup towards Blake's hands. Blake raised her brow at the contemplative speech and glossed over the gesture from her considerate partner.
"You didn't have to" Blake smiling softly, taking the cup from her partners hands.
Smiling back Yang looked out the window to the continuing show of falling snow outside. "They still haven't come back yet." spoke the blonde "Weiss said she and Ruby would be out late studying somewhere. It sounds like they're pulling an all-nighter again"
Blake paused to take a sip from her cup, her flesh lighting up from the gorgeous warmth filling her cheeks, glancing up at her partner. "Well we should probably get some sleep too, but with the heating out it will be cold as sin tonight" she smiled.
Yang slurped some of her tea and nodded in agreement. Blake placed her cup down as she got into her bed, already dressed for sleep. She decided to spend some last minute reading, like the raven haired girl usual does before shutting her eyes for the night. Her favourite chapter was coming up and she couldn't wait to see what happened next. Now to see if they confess their feelings for one another. It's been a long time coming. Will they be able to finally open up after being so close for so long? the raven haired girl though to herself happily flipping the pages over. Dragara gave her arm for her she can't ignore her feelings any longer...Blake's eyes peeled upwards momentarily to see her partner changing for bed too. What will she say...what will she..!
The frozen silence made it's way through Blake's body as she carefully lowered her book in-front of her to notice her partner slowly removing her top, unveiling the gorgeous warm skin underneath. Then as she began to undress her shorts, Blake's cheeks flushed red, as Yang bared her naked half, showcasing a beautiful masterpiece that could only belong in an art gallery. Blake quickly dashed back into her book as Yang turned round and finished getting ready She..didn't notice.. The relief poured over Blake like soothing rain. She then heard the soft thud of her partner as she dashed up onto her bed. "Night Blake!"
"G..goodnight Yang" came her timid reply.
Blake tried to get back into her book but the immersion she once sought had failed to find her. Her mind kept replaying the image of that blonde beauty over and over again. She reached over to grab her drink to try take the sensations away. Her skin was lovely. Her hair is so beautiful the way it drifts all the way down her ba..ahh!
Tried as she might to stop it, it was too late. Sweet scented tea flooded her bed sheets, cascading all over her and she could not stop it; the soft thud of the cup hitting the floor. "Blake? Is everything alright down there?" Yang glancing to the side as she heard the noise.
"All fine!" replied Blake, taking the bed sheets off as they were soaked. Drat..now what do I do..? The fumbling faunus did the best she could to remain as if nothing happened. She placed the sheets to the side and cuddled herself to stay warm.
Throughout the night the frozen jaws took hold and began to wake her up. Teeth chattering and body shaking – this was going to be a long night for her. As she tried and failed to stay warm she heard a noise. Rustling from the top bunk. She could sense Yang as she made her way from her bed and down to the floor.
"Here" the blonde pulled her covers down and whipped them in the air, gently falling onto Blake's freezing body. "Wai...what are you doing?" the faunus asked.
Yang giggled to herself mischievously as she knew full well what had happened earlier. "I heard you. Spilled your tea all over didn't you?" now gently smoothing the quilt downwards over herself as she also got into Blake's side of the bed. "Stay as you are and you'll be freezing all night. Let's snuggle up and stay warm. I'm sleeping in your bed tonight. No objections." The embarrassing excuses tried to leave Blake's mouth but as she felt the now sudden warmth of Yang's aura make it's way through her bed, she let it go. Her cheeks reddened as Yang got closer and closer, shuffling into her as she tenderly wrapped her arm round Blake's side. Yang nuzzled into her back, ever so slightly sending a tingle down Blake's spine and goosebumps crawling up her neck. "Hm..mmm" quietly groaning in response. Yang grinned as she tightened her hold around Blake's waist. "Goodnight..Blakey" she whispered, softly closing her eyes. Blake was as comfy as she'd ever been. This blonde partner of mine she thought to herself. Easy on the eyes but hard on the heart...sometimes..
