Author's Notes: This is a ship that has honestly made me so freaking happy these past few months. Despite all of the blegh moments I've been going through and the off days, this ship has been there to make me smile. Just by thinking about it. This ship is a blessing, honestly.

This was actually gonna be smut, but I got lazy. :)

There are a lot of ways for two girls to bond, but Weiss' favorite was coffee. She found that a lot of the time, the calm, comfortable atmosphere of small, local cafes were perfect for getting someone to open up. The soft jazz music playing in the background, the idle chatter overheard from tables away, the sound of the baristas making drinks; all this mixed together had an effect on people, it made them talk.

Even if the person you were with wasn't good at talking, or talked too much, it seemingly made them eloquent, intelligent, and charming.

Weiss figured that that could also be the effect working on her, but she digressed. That it worked, in general, was a fact, and one she greatly appreciated.

The first time she had taken Ruby to a cafe, they had held a very important conversation with no childish comments and bored sighs. It was a professional meeting, through and through.

So, of course, this idea would have popped into her head, and of course, when she actually tried it, it would be a smashing success.

Nora Valkyrie was actually talking. Not shouting, or saying nonsensical things. She was just talking. And Weiss couldn't believe it.

She stared at the ginger across from her as she sipped at her coffee in wonder. This girl, the girl she had come to know for her overly enthusiastic displays of energy and her loud mouth, was holding a conversation on the topic of her team in a calm manner and soft tone.

It was actually unbelievable.

And of course, the fact that it was Nora, meant that despite this being the most intelligent conversation that Weiss had ever held with her, she still had no filter.

But it was fine, Weiss could work with it.

"You would not believe how many times we accidentally walk in on each other changing. Like, no doubt you know, but I mean you don't have to share a dorm with two guys. It's a lot more nerve-wracking to suddenly hear the doorknob twist open." Nora paused to laugh as Weiss blushed lightly, wondering how their conversation drifted from fruit scented cleaning products to this.

"Have they ever walked in on you two when you're… You know, completely undressed?" Weiss asked, feeling like she didn't really want to know the answer. But it was something she was always curious about. In her dorm they never had to worry about stuff like this, so hearing how a half female, half male dorm went about things was interesting. Even if the subject wasn't entirely family-friendly.

"Oh yeah! Lots of times, it's actually not even that big of a deal anymore. In fact…" Nora leaned in close, putting her hand up to the side of her mouth to stop the sound from traveling outward. "Just last week, I asked Jaune to help with my bra." Weiss flushed even more, but Nora seemed to shrug it off like the comment was innocent. "It was just whatever."

Weiss drowned her lewd thoughts in coffee. "Just whatever, huh?" She said to no one in particular after downing her caffeine. She turned to look out a window as Nora took a small sip of her slightly less caffeinated drink. "The day I let Jaune Arc help with my bra is the day the world ends."

Nora giggled at Weiss' words. "Oh come on, it been two years, he's learned his lesson."

"And in those two years we've become good friends, but you know, I have trouble forgetting and I still swing firmly for the home team if you catch my meaning." Nora giggled again and subconsciously fixed her hair.

"It's not like I'm telling you to do anything like that. I'm just saying, he was very respectful when it came to me. So you don't have to be so terribly hard on him." Weiss looked out the window again, focusing her attention on one particular cloud in the sky.

"Yeah I guess I can be a little easier on him. He and Ruby are together now so it's not like I have anything to worry about. I mean if he does flirt with me, that just gives me a reason to actually hate him, right?" Nora rolled her eyes playfully, knowing that Weiss was just trying to joke around.

As Nora took another sip, her mind wandered and she stared ahead at the heiress, taking every visible part of her in. "I don't think I ever noticed how blue your eyes are, they're really pretty!" Nora said, causing Weiss to blush at the sudden compliment.

"Th-thanks. They're my favorite thing about me! It's just a shame that this dumb scar kind of ruins them a bit." Weiss ran her finger gently down the scar, tracing against her flesh lightly.

"You think so? I think your scar makes you prettier. I don't know why, though." Weiss quickly took a drink and looked away, and Nora ignored the obvious embarrassment on her face. "Oh, right, public. Sorry."

"It's okay… I'm getting over the whole 'complimentiphobia' as Ruby dubs it. Some things are okay, it's just that some comments still get to me." Nora nodded and smiled as she just let the conversation die off.

Weiss was surprised by just how not talkative Nora was being. This had happened quite a few times, and Weiss found she was having to coax more conversation out of her when it did. Or else they were going to do nothing but sit in silence.

It was a problem she never really expected to have, but it was a problem that Weiss found frustrated her severely. For once she loved it when Nora talked, she loved the sound of her voice; it was sing-song, the way she spoke her words was rhythmic; it was absolutely musical in a magical sense, and she wanted more of it.

Though she'd never openly admit to that.

Weiss took one more sip before continuing the conversation. "So, aside from walking in on half naked teammates and letting them help with your underwear, what do you do all day? I only know what you do with the group. Studying, going to movies, concerts, all that stuff. I don't think I know any of your personal interests?"

Nora giggled in a way that just felt like only she could. "Oh, I wouldn't want to bore you or anything. But since you asked; I usually find myself listening to a LOT of music, like, more than most people, and I really like baking! There's also the stuff that most people enjoy, reading, dancing, talking to cute girls~, playing video game-"

"H-hold on," Weiss interrupted, "what was that last one?" She felt her face flush even more than it did previously and the desire to hide it by taking a dangerously large gulp of her drink had to be fought back.

"Dancing?" Nora asked, her face flushed slightly as well. She had not meant to say that, but like usual it somehow flitted out of her mouth anyway.

"R-right, thought so," replied Weiss, who knew that Nora was trying to cover it up and decided to be nice. "Dancing is… Not my thing, really, but it is fun when you have the right partner." She cleared her throat and Nora did the same.

"Dancing is one of my FAVORITE things to do! In fact, I recently heard of this new dance club that was opening up near the park! I was planning on checking it out tonight." Nora straightened her back and sat up, looking out over the rest of the cafe with a serene smile.

"Dance club," Weiss said to herself, a small frown making its way onto her face.

"Oh no, not like one of those clubs," Nora instantly assured, noticing what had to be disgust in Weiss' tone. "They don't serve any drinks, and they don't play EDM. It's more like a swing dance club really. They do apparently serve food, though. It's like half a restaurant, half a ballroom."

"Oh," Weiss exclaimed in pleasant surprise, "that actually sounds like fun." Nora smiled at her, and crossed her arms, placing them on the table in front of her. She leaned forward, causing Weiss to lean back a bit.

"Do you want to come with? It could be really fun!~"

Weiss bit her lip and looked out the window again, avoiding the hopeful stare that Nora was giving her. "I don't know, Nora…"

"Weiss Schnee, let me take you dancing," Nora said suddenly in response to her unsure answer. Weiss looked at her in shock, her wide eyes making Nora laugh innocently. "Please?" she begged. Weiss sighed and shook her head.

"Sure," Nora interrupted her with a loud cheer of excitement, jumping out of her seat nearly, but Weiss made her settle down with her next words, "ON ONE CONDITION!" Nora sat back down calmly. "You let me buy you dinner."

Weiss smiled softly. Why the hell not, she figured. Nora had surprised her, maybe she would keep surprising her.

Nora cleared her throat again and blushed, but smiled widely nonetheless. "That I can do!"
