After a few weeks of testing, sparring, and training, the teams decided that over the weekend, they'd enjoy a small party. But none knew about the smaller parties going on in their dorms. Each of the boys found their way to Team DAMN's room while the girls went to Team JNPR's room.
"We're just having a guys night. I'm sure they're doing something that's about the same level as this anyway."
Silver's words reassured all the boys were sitting in the room except for one, who wasn't there.
"Hey, Silver. Where's Rory?" Virgil asked.
"He said he needed to grab something." Silver replied
As he finished, the window opened up and Rory pulled himself into the room, carrying what appeared to be a case of beer.
"Rory, what the hell?" Drake asked skeptically.
Rory knelt down to open the case and handed a beer to everyone. "It's not a guys night if we're not drunk man." he chuckled and popped open one for himself.
Taking a sip from his own, Silver looked at Rory. "You know, this is the first time I've seen you drink something besides tea." which caused the man in question to shrug.
"I'm a party guy. Not my fault you don't see me drink."
"So there's almost like a rule where every guys night has to involve talking about chicks we like." Rory stated.
"Weiss." Both Silver and Virgil raised their beers in unison and brought it back down.
"Okay I'm actually kind of interested in this. How'd it start out between you three?" Drake leaned forward a bit, eager to hear the response.
"Well." Silver started. "Virgil, Weiss, and I have been playmates since we were little, our fathers were rich, but had next to no time for us, so all we had was each other."
Virgil picked up the story after his next sip. "Eventually those friendship feelings turned more raw and passionate and Silver and I would go out of our way to win her over. Even going so far as grudge matches against each other. She found out in the middle of one such match."
"Crazy bitch ran between us and shouted that she would have both or none. And that was that. We've gotten a lot closer because of her. Who knows, if she hadn't intervened, one of us might have died." Silver concluded and finished off his beer.
"Sounds like a fun time" Ren said.
"I'm guessing it's the same between you and Nora?" Virgil asked, getting a nod in response.
During this, Juane had been sitting there sipping his drink just listening when Ren nudged him. "What about you Juane? Who's your girl of choice?"
"Wh- What?!" the question flustered Juane, making the blonde knight go crimson.
"Come on Juane. Tell us. Who's your female of fancy?" Drake prodded.
"We wont judge you. We're all going to admit it at one point or another." Rory stated.
Juane looked from face to face then sighed in defeat. "It's uh… Phyrra…" he admitted.
"So you adore the amazoness." Rory quipped.
"She is pretty hot." Blade admitted, getting a chorus of agreement.
"Well Blade, if she is so hot, does that mean that she's your first choice?" Ren countered.
Blade laughed and picked up his second bottle. "Nothing against Phyrra but Yang definitely caught my eye, if you know what I'm saying."
Rory lifted his third beer in a somewhat drunken salute. "Amen to that! Who else has stared and don't care to admit?"
Drake sighed. "Guilty." He said with a smirk.
"Agreed." Ren tossed his bottle into the trash as he said it.
Virgil raised his hand in agreement which caused Silver to laugh. "Don't let Weiss catch you staring Virg."
"Spin the bottle time! If it lands on ya, admit the boy your crushin on!" the blonde brawler put down what was her fifth bottle and spun it, half the room protesting the game.
The bottle spun for a decent amount before it landed on Blake, who blushed furiously.
"Come on Blakey. Cough up a name" Yang poked Blake's arm
Blake coughed for a sec and rubbed her arm. "Well… Ren is-"
"Ren is mine! Lay off!" Nora drunkenly shouted, causing Blake to jump back a bit.
The bottle spun again and pointed to Phyrra.
"You know Phyrra, I'd tease you a lot more if you didn't make it so obvious." The blonde grinned as she said it.
Phyrra blushed bright red. "W-What do you mean by that Yang!?"
"We can all see that your absolutely smitten with the clumsiest knight of all the boys" Yang said, satisfied that she had won that argument.
Phyrra scowled and turned the bottle to point it at the blonde. "Well what about you? Who's the boy stuck in your head?"
The brawler blushed for half a second before responding. "Drake."
"Oh really?" a certain snow angel included herself into the conversation. "Why the bard?"
"Same as you heiress. I've known him for quite a while." Yang stated proudly, causing Ruby to speak up.
"Sis, that's a total lie. You barely know him." The blonde scowled at her younger sister. "Fine. I like him because he's pretty hot and strong and he can kick some serious ass. You girls happy?"
Phyrra smirked. "Very satisfied Yang. Thank you for sharing."
The bottle was spun and this time it landed on Alex, who was one of the few who were still sober. "I'd rather not say…." which caused the rest of them to poke and ask until she finally waved them off.
"Fine! Fine! It's actually not a guy…" She blushed as the others realized what she meant.
"ohhh really?" Yang smirked. "Is it Ruby?" the blonde grabbed her protesting sister.
"N-no!"
"Oh? Is she not cute enough?" Yang asked
"Uh…" Alex looked at Ruby who was blushing as she said "I wont think different of you no matter what y-you say Alex."
Alex tried to say something but found the words choking up in her throat.
"Yang, your torturing the poor girl. Stop it." Blake pulled Ruby from Yang's grasp and was giving her partner a cold glare, which eventually caused the blonde to stop.
"You girls ready for the party tomorrow?" Nora asked, snapping everyone from the negative mood.
"Of course!" Ruby cheered.
"We do deserve a celebration, they have made our first weeks quite difficult." Weiss added.
"We're gonna be drinking, dancing, partying. Maybe even get a bit close with some of our fanciful female friends. Its gonna be awesome!" Rory finished telling the guys the plan for the party happening the next day.
"Well then." Drake said as he stood up and stretched. "I believe we should all get some rest for tomorrow. We're going to be partying quite hard aren't we Rory?"
"Hell yeah man." Rory punctuated the statement with a loud belch. "Alright well, good night guys. Be ready for tomorrow night. We're meeting up at the Liquid Dust Bar."
"Night girls! Remember, I'll have a good spot for us all at the Liquid Dust Bar!" Yang called after the girls as they left for their own rooms. After watching till the other girls were out of sight, Team RWBY filed into their room. However, Blake felt herself being pulled back into the hallway and out of sight of the team's room.
Her partner was standing in front of her, holding her hand, making Blake somewhat uncomfortable.
"Blake."
The black haired girl looked at her partner and noticed the serious, yet almost desperate look on the blonde's face.
"Blake I need you to promise me you won't tell anyone what I'm about to tell you."
The alcohol in the brawler's breath was obvious but despite the sheer amount that she drank, she still seemed somewhat sober.
"I don't know if it's the beer or maybe I haven't had a girl's night in forever, but I don't care about the reason."
Blake's eyes widened as she took in the situation and tried pulling away but Yang's grip as tight around her wrist.
"Blake, I lied about what I said earlier. I'm… I'm in love with someone else…"
"Yang- I-I"
"It's tea boy."
"I don't like… wait. What did you say?" Blake's head tilted, curious as she was expecting her name to be said, and noticed that she was just a little disappointed by the fact that it wasn't.
"The guy who uh…" Yang chuckled a bit embarrassedly. "the guy who groped me after I tackled him… I like him…"
"You….like Rory?" Blake struggled to understand. They were similar but Rory had a slow and calm side where Yang was constantly going full speed unless she was caring for her sister.
"Yeah. B-but Blake! You know this isn't like me. You know that I'm never this flustered or anything like that. I just know I can trust you an-"
A slender finger landed on the running lips, quieting them.
"I understand perfectly Yang. I can keep your secret." Blake flashed the blonde her trademark smirk and Yang visibly relaxed.
"Thank you so much Blakey!" Yang started forward to attempt to hug her partner but the alcohol seemed to finally be catching up with her as she stumbled a bit and missed the hug.
"Maybe we should get to bed Yang."
"Can we share Blakey?"
"You have your own, that's where your sleeping."
