***I do not own RWBY or anything related to it. It belongs to Rooster Teeth. Let's dive into this and see how Blake's early morning goes shall we?
A slight hum could be heard, as it woke Blake from her slumber. Curled up in the fetal position, she lazily lifted her head up to see something shaking slightly.
Reaching out for it, Blake quickly remembered it was her alarm. She dismissed it and looked at her curtains that covered the entrance to her hovel.
She checked the time on her phone, to make sure she set the correct time on the alarm. "Three-thirty in the morning. Right on time." Stretching herself outwards, Blake swatted the curtains open enough for her to climb out.
She looked around the room, sunlight barely pouring in through the window. Weiss slept on her back, arms folded slightly. "She sleeps like a princess". Blake didn't want to waste time, she had baking to do before she opened up the kiosk for the students that would be up and about within the next hour and a half.
She turned around to go to her nightstand, but something flew past her. Blake simply leant backwards as a large pillow hit the wall and slumped to the floor.
Cocking her head round to Yang, she noticed her lower half was dangling off her bed. Arms flailing every so often yet matched with a child-like grin, really made Blake wonder what she was dreaming about.
Carefully approaching Yang, she grabbed both legs and hoisted them onto her bed. The sleeping brute gave out a slight giggle and murmured. "Oh, Blake. Touch me more."
Blake blushed a little but went on to get herself ready otherwise. "You wish." She chuckled louder than she had hoped as Weiss shifted in her sleep.
"Vale's lovely." She smiled sweetly, something Blake had never seen before. "Why do they get to have nice dreams?" Blake cursed to herself as she walked into the bathroom.
After getting herself showered and dressed, she had to head to the one place she could get some baking done. The economic department.
The economic department was often open this early since there was often another student there baking also. Sure it was in the opposite direction to the study garden the kiosk was located. However, it was the only place Blake could bake without disturbing other students and her roommates. After passing through several stone archways, that could have made someone think they were in a hall of mirrors. Blake finally reached what looked like several buildings mashed together. Stepping through the automatic doors, she was greeted with a cup of tea.
"Good morning Blake." A calm, soothing voice spoke as a cup of tea was offered to her. She smiled and took it from the young man.
He wore a green vest, beige trousers, and simple black pumps. His hair was rather short and the most notable feature was the strand of magenta running through his hair.
"Morning Ren. How are you feeling?" He looked at her, with dark circles around his eyes. He tried his best to smile in response to the concern Blake was showing him.
"Have you ever had insomnia before Blake?" She shook her head. "Majority of the time, I'm so exhausted I want to collapse. Yet, as hard as I try my body just can't sleep" Ren walked over to the student storage and grabbed a large reusable bag. "Here, you might need this," Ren said, handing Blake the bag.
"Thanks, let's get some baking done shall we?" Ren nodded in agreement as he donned his pink apron, Blake wearing a yellow apron.
It took them about ten minutes to set up their respective stations and luckily, both Ren and Blake had all the ingredients they needed.
Ren had ingredients such as lemon juice, muscovado sugar, milk and cocoa powder. A few other things, but she had her own baking to do.
Blake had vanilla extract, golden casting sugar, dark chocolate and like Ren even had cocoa powder. Ren took a glance as he was preparing a sandwich tin with grease-proof paper.
"You're going to have to work twice as quickly to make two of those cakes Blake." Ren pointed out, as he made sure the oven was on and heating up to ample temperatures.
"I know Ren. I've done double baking how many times now?" Blake asked rhetorically, to which he smiled.
"Fair enough. So what are you planning to sell this time?"
"Chocolate orange cake. What are you baking for Nora?"
Ren began following a recipe he had left on the side of the worktop. "Devils food cake. I don't understand why she won't listen to me. Especially after last night." A displeased sigh escaping his lips. Blake looked away in the midst of baking at Ren, to see a solemn expression plastered on his face.
"She didn't try and free the sloths again did she?" Blake questioned, as she started chopping oranges by hand and putting them into the blender.
"No. Although that would be much easier to deal with." He paused whilst he added lemon and milk into a mixture that he had finished preparing.
"She had coffee shots with Yang last night. Despite me telling her, that getting drunk near the time of our exams was not a good idea."
"I wonder if that's why Yang was acting weird in her sleep. She doesn't usually throw things, much less her pillow.
"Guess what Nora yelled when she took a triple." Ren's face although looked calm and steady, you could tell he was somewhat traumatised by her antics.
"I'm more worried that she took a triple. I know she has high alcohol tolerance, but she's not Yang." Blake showed concern, as she finished the preparation, and was now ready to put it into the oven to bake.
"Do it for the sloths" Ren deadpanned as he poured the mixture into both of the two tins; placed both in the oven.
Blake shook her head, it was no surprise that Nora was wild and hard to control. Put her with Yang, and then it becomes a storm you want to stay clear of. With both of the cakes Blake was baking in the oven, she took the time to clean up her station.
Meanwhile, Ren was adding more ingredients to a bowl trying to get the mixture to hold its shape.
Blake looked to one of the various clocks, the time now displaying four-twenty in the morning. If this was baked properly, it will be out the oven just past five.
She would be able to get the kiosk set up in time to serve the students who work mornings, or the students who work nights.
Though, the person she wanted to see most was Yang. Sure Blake would deny every chance she'd have, but that's because she wants Yang to earn it. Not be one of those "Drunken flings".
"That reminds me, Yang used some of Weiss' shampoo. Pyrrha tripped over Nora and spilt punch on her. Luckily Yang was too drunk to be furious." Ren stated as he pulled opened the oven.
Blake nodded and made a quick phone call. "Yeah, it's me Sun. Could you pick up some Vor ì Vaglaskògi for me? Should be two for one right? I'll pay you back when I see you. Thanks." She hung up the phone.
Within the hour, Ren had finished his devil cake for Nora, whilst Blake had two chocolate orange cakes stored and ready to be sold. Both of them made sure to clean up the worktops.
"So, going to bribe Yang?" The dark haired boy asked. Blake smiled and gave a nod. Heading back to the dorms, a tall blonde man ran up to them.
"Ren, we got a problem." He spoke between breaths, he had obviously been running to see him.
The blonde boy with blue eyes was Ren's roommate Jaune. Ren gave blake a nod and went with Jaune back to the dorms. Blake hurried to her kiosk, to hopefully see Yang.
Blake arrived at her kiosk, made sure to get it up and running ready for any customers.
She noticed there was a small package with her name written on it. Blake opened it to see the two bottles of shampoo she asked for. A smile forming on her face.
Her phone vibrated in her back pocket, reaching for it seeing a message from Ren. "Yang is barred from taking Nora drinking."
Blake typed a quick response "She hasn't eaten that cake already has she?"
"She went and projectile vomit over me, as I sat on my bed."
"I'll keep Yang on a leash for now. Good luck Ren."Putting her phone into her back pocket; turning to the machines behind her. The cat-like girl heard a familiar voice.
"Morning Blakey!" Blake smiled as she knew that would belong to the one person that mattered most to her. She turned around to see Yang's gleeful smile.
***A/N: So two chapters within the same twenty-four hours. Let me know what you guys think of it, I'd love to hear some feedback. Otherwise, how will I know if this is any good or not?
So side note, it's past midnight in England so it's officially Christmas Eve. I do hope everyone enjoys the time with their loved ones, or those closest to them. I will see you whenever I finish the next chapter.
