Chapter 4: Is It Even Worth It?
Butterfly in the sky! I can internet twice as high! Just take a look, it's not in a book, it's Reading with The Draigg! Now that I've massaged all of your collective whimsy senses, I should let you know that I don't own RWBY, Monty Oum does. If I did, it would go more like the stories that I write. So, let's get to reading!

Wednesday wasn't going to well for the monochrome members of Team RWBY so far. As of late, the war of attrition between the Principality of Weiss and the Blake Confederation was coming to a head early. It was only a matter of time until one broke under the other's influence.
That morning, Weiss had her make-up called out by others during breakfast. More specifically, it was a passing by Velvet blurting out "What's wrong with your face?!". So, she was in a bad mood from that, in addition to the raging headache she was feeling already.
But, as Team RWBY walked to their final class for the day, Weiss gave a small grin to herself. She figured that her latest plot would make her feel better. You see, Weiss had slipped some of Blake's centerfolds from her not-so-secret stash into her text books for that class before they left the dorm room. So, Weiss gambled that this would be a huge blow to her psyche.
Meanwhile, Blake was having her plan happen while the team was out to classes today. Her scheme relied on a sticky-fingered monkey Faunus named Sun Wukong to get his hands on a coffee maker. Once he did that (probably through less than legal means), he was to break into Team RWBY's room and set up the coffee maker in plain view. That way, Blake hoped that Weiss would be overcome with the urge to brew a fresh pot. Or failing that, increase her impulses to unbearable levels.
Now that Blake thought about it, maybe it was a bit too easy to convince Sun to do that for her. If she had to guess, it was because he needed to indulge in his love for petty theft somehow. At least Blake was putting his kleptomania to good use.
Getting ready for education, Team RWBY took their seats in the classroom. Unknown to Yang and Ruby, there was going to be much more than education happening today.

The sun shone brightly through the window of Team RWBY's room. At least, it did until it was blocked by a shadowy figure wearing a backpack.
Picking the lock, the burglar entered through the window with ease.
"That was way too easy." Sun muttered to himself as he shut the window behind him.
Walking into the center of the room, Sun smiled to himself. There was always a nice rush when he broke into somewhere he shouldn't be. Yet again, he WAS supposed to be here, he guessed. It was a favor he was on, after all. Well, that certainly dulled his buzz.
But, Sun hoped to get that buzz back by snooping around through Team RWBY's possessions. Slipping the bag off of his back, he made his way over to the drawers. However, he tripped over something as he walked past a bunk.
"Shit and piss!" Sun swore to himself. What the hell had made him fall over? Looking near his feet, he saw that a corner of a cardboard box was partially jutting out.
Hidden boxes? Now that was right up Sun's alley! Grabbing the box, Sun opened it, his curiosity burning. Maybe there was someone's diary in there! Or, maybe a bunch of lien! Or maybe… a bunch of porn? What?
Gingerly taking a magazine out of the box, Sun flipped through the pages. Damn, those dudes were ripped! Sun couldn't compare, even with his flashy abs!
"Look at these god damn meat castles!" Sun thought to himself. He was feeling a little inadequate now. Maybe he should lift more weights. Oh well, he could sign up for the gym as soon as he was done here.
Oh yeah, he wasn't here to steal anything! Sun had almost forgotten the reason he had broken in here in the first place! Putting the magazine back in the box, he slid the porn stash back under the bed. Then, unzipping the bag he had brought, Sun pulled the coffee maker out.
He hefted the coffee maker over to the desk, and began to set it up.
"Whose stash was that, anyway?" Sun wondered to himself as he worked. He was pretty sure it wasn't Yang's since she could probably have any girl or boy she wanted, because of her looks.
The porn probably didn't belong to the Ice Princess, either. She seemed like too much of a prude to own that material. That narrowed it down to Ruby and Blake. Now, Sun figured that Ruby was still a little too young to buy that stuff in the first place. But also, Blake was a bit too reserved to read that stuff, as well. Well, as far as he knew.
Then, as Sun put the final touched on the machine, a thought hit him. What if it was a communal porn stash, shared by everyone? There must have been a system in place to pool lien and have one of the older girls buy porn in Vale proper! It made so much sense, now that he thought about it!
But then, from that idea sprung another thought. If all of them looked at porn together, did that mean that all of them slept with each other as well? And, if they did, that would mean that Yang and Ruby knew each other a little better than just sisters.
Oh gods, that was a horrifying thought. To have two sisters regularly engage in incest? Sun repressed the heave growing in his chest. Now, if it happened to the others, then it was pretty hot. But, if blood relatives got involved, it was disgusting instead.
Shaking the thought of incest out of his mind, Sun zipped up his backpack and threw it over his shoulder. But, now that he thought about it, he was in no rush. He could poke around a little more. It didn't matter that he was now a little afraid of what he found. His innate curiosity needed to be satisfied.
Rummaging through the drawers, Sun didn't find anything interesting in the first three. But, as he tried to open the bottom one, he noticed that it was locked. And, if something was locked, it obviously meant that something good was inside.
Picking open the locked drawer, Sun was baffled even further at what he saw inside. There was a whole bunch of different costumes. Who the hell needed a construction worker outfit? Or for that matter, why was there a surprisingly accurate police uniform in there? And, he couldn't figure out for the life of him what the clothes on the far left were. It was something with… suspenders? Or were those chains? Hell, they were probably both.
An idea clicked in his head. This must be Team RWBY's foursome supplies! It was a great and horrifying thought at the same time. On the one hand, it meant lesbian orgies. On the other hand, incest, and that painful looking outfit stored in the drawer. Sun had the most confused erection EVER.
"Okay, I've had enough of this place." Sun muttered to himself. As he made his way over to the window, he couldn't help but think that he didn't want to know the actual answer to his thoughts. In any case, they would just bring up horrifying implications.
Oh wait, he nearly forgot something!
Rushing back over to the maker, Sun slipped a note under the loader lid. He didn't know what it said, but Blake insisted that he put it in there. There, now it was all good.
Climbing out of the window, Sun closed it behind him. He had done his job well. Now, he just needed to take a cold, cold shower to get rid of those ideas. And, maybe sign up for the gym today, too.

Some amount of time later, during the mid-afternoon, Blake stomped furiously back to the dorm room, following behind the rest of her team. Blake intentionally lagged behind, otherwise she would murder that frigid bitch named Weiss.
In the middle of the latest class, Blake got quite the surprise when the poster of Brandy Luxxx she had in her stash was instead covering up the section she was supposed to be reading. And, to make matters worse, Blake got incredibly aroused looking at it. The damp state of her seat could attest to that.
But, what was maddening about it was that even though the image was incredibly titillating, Blake just couldn't do anything about it. Her hands refused to move in that way, even when she snuck off to the bathroom with the picture in tow.
However, Blake still had the one ace up her sleeve. If Sun succeeded in his mission, then Blake would be getting revenge tenfold in just a minute.
As she saw Weiss pause in the doorway of their dorm room, Blake knew that her plan had gone off without a hitch. As she passed the frozen up Weiss (how appropriate), Blake smirked.
"What's wrong?" she asked, her voice sounding incredibly slimy.
Weiss had thought that she had won today. But, as she saw the coffee pot sitting on the desk, most of her higher brain functions ceased. All Weiss could do was think about the coffee maker in front of her.
"Is that the BrewMeister Triple-3?! It is! It's just like how I thought it was! OH! It even has the latte feature!" Weiss' mind raced.
Managing to take tentative steps, Weiss walked up to the beverage brewer. She ran her hands along it's cool, stainless steel surface. Weiss shuddered in delight as she ran the maker under her fingers.
"Wait! Maybe there's some coffee in there!" she thought as she opened the loading lid. However, all she saw was a slip of paper. Damn it, where were the coffee beans?! Now feeling annoyed, Weiss unfolded the note. It read: "Got you.".
Weiss ripped up the note and dropped the shreds on the floor. A terrifying un-smile crossed her face as she began to laugh.
"Heheheheheheeee… AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Weiss laughed, her voice devoid of anything resembling sanity.
Ruby rushed over to her girlfriend's aid. "What's the matter, Weiss?!" Ruby asked desperately. She wrapped Weiss in a hug, hoping to calm the girl down.
"How the hell did this get in here?" Yang asked, now noticing the coffee maker. Admittedly, it was a nice maker, but she didn't remember buying one. Did someone sneak it in here? Then, the thought clicked in Yang's head. Turning her attention to Blake, she saw that the Faunus girl was covering up a sick grin.
Grabbing her girlfriend by the wrist, Yang dragged Blake out into the hallway. As the door closed behind them, Yang could hear Weiss' broken laughter fade away.
"Okay, you better explain yourself." Yang said to Blake, her eyebrows furrowed.
"What? She deserved it!" justified Blake.
"I. DON'T. CARE. You just can't break someone's mind like that!" Yang growled angrily.
Blake shot back, "Oh, when did you start caring? Several weeks ago, you wouldn't have cared!"
Yang grabbed Blake by the collar and said, "But I do now! I love you as a girlfriend, but if you fuck up my sister because of this stupid bet, I fuck YOU up. Got it?!".
"You're the one who got me into it!" Blake protested. Yang suddenly let her go, and slumped against the wall.
"I know… I can't deny my involvement." Yang said.
Blake was about to say something, but Yang continued.
"But… I want you to see things my way for once. I want you to ask yourself if it's even worth it." Yang concluded. With that, she walked back into the room.
Blake was left standing alone in the hallway. Now that she thought about it, Yang was absolutely right. This bet wasn't worth ruining one of the few relationships she had built here at Beacon Academy. So, she resolved, no more tricks. No more schemes. All she would do was wait out the bet, and not try to accelerate it. It just wasn't worth it to destroy one of her friendships.
So, Blake began to walk down the hallway. There was no way she could go back into that room now. Plus, she felt like she needed to be alone right now.

Something snapped in Weiss' mind as Ruby cradled her body. She didn't care about the tricks anymore. She didn't care about the schemes, or plots, or anything like that. In fact, all this little trap did was make one thing clear in Weiss' mind: she needed her fucking fix.
But, even in her frantic mind, a point of internal rationality still remained. She couldn't have her fix. If she did, all that would do was ruin all the effort she had made so far. A Schnee never gave up. Weiss had followed that line of thought all the way through her childhood.
Then, in addition to that moment of clarity, her self-preservation instinct also kicked in. What she was doing before was essentially poking a sleeping Ursa with a pointy stick. Weiss couldn't go around having all these plots if her opponent could do the same amount of damage. She needed to be smart about this.
So, Weiss decided that she would just have to go cold-turkey, and do absolutely nothing else. If Blake could make her lose her cool this easily, then it was scary to think what else she could do. That cat Faunus was a crafty one.
However, Weiss couldn't do this alone. She needed help.
"Ruby?" Weiss asked as her laughter died down.
"What? Tell me something!" pleaded Ruby. Seeing Weiss like this was scary. She didn't like it one bit.
"Think you can help me?" asked Weiss weakly. She was feeling really tired, now that her hopes had been crushed that easily. That and the headache she had was sapping all her energy.
"Of course, of course!" Ruby cried, while stroking Weiss' soft hair.
"Good, good…", mumbled Weiss. Wow, she was really tired.
"Umm, am I interrupting something?" Yang asked as she walked back into the room.
"Weiss is gonna be strong. Right, milady?" Ruby said to Weiss. However, her girlfriend then became less than lucid.
In response, Weiss said, "Goodnight, mama.". Then, she fell asleep in Ruby's arms. Yep, she was out again. Ruby had a feeling this was going to be a common occurrence
"Umm, I'm going to say that's a yes." Ruby said awkwardly to her sister. Then, hefting Weiss into her arms, Ruby stood up. As she placed Weiss on her bed, Ruby kissed her forehead and tucked her in.
To be honest, that wasn't the weirdest thing Ruby heard Weiss say in the process of sleeping.
There was the funny stuff, like the time she overheard Weiss argue to herself over how expensive a pair of glasses was. Or, the time Weiss was scolding an imaginary mouse for eating her expensive cheese.
But then, there was the sad stuff too. Ruby had lost count how many times she heard Weiss cry herself to sleep over the months. Or, how many times she called out for her mom and dad in her sleep, for that matter.
As Ruby settled Weiss into bed, she hoped that she would have good dreams. Weiss would need the positive energy for what was to come ahead, if she was serious about going completely cold-turkey.
