The warm light of a new day poured into team RWBY's quiet, still dorm room. The soft breaths of the sleeping heiress were so soft, they could scarcely be heard over the wispy autumn winds outside.
Her body moved slightly as her mind slowly began to melt off the last remnants of a long night's respite.
The bed conformed so perfectly to the contours of her chest and stomach, and it was soft and snug under the blankets.
Weiss breathed in deeply through her nose before gradually opening an eye to find her wonderful girlfriend sitting cross-legged on the floor.
Yang glanced at Weiss and paused the game she was playing, "Hey there, Sleepy Head," she nearly whispered as she knelt beside Weiss' bed, "How do you feel?"
Weiss hummed with a smile as she closed her eye again, "I haven't felt this great in years," she sighed, her voice raspy from disuse.
"I'll bet," giggled Yang, "You slept through half the day, and you're practically glowing."
Weiss opened her eyes to examine Yang's face. What a wonderful sight to begin the day with.
"I feel like I could do anything right now," said Weiss before sitting up in her bed and stretching with a loud, drawn-out yawn as the blanket pooled around her hips.
Yang blushed as she found an interesting spot to stare at on the ceiling.
"I have so much energy right now! It's strange, but it's also wonderful!" grinned Weiss before noticing that Yang's eyes were fixed on something, "What are you looking at?" she asked as she leaned forward so she could peek around Ruby's bed.
"U-uh, nothing. It's just that… you're n-not wearing a shirt," stuttered Yang.
Weiss looked down at her chest and confirmed her lack of clothes, "Oh my gosh!" she shouted as she threw her hands up over her chest.
"H-here," managed Yang as she held out Weiss' nightgown while shielding her eyes.
Weiss blushed and snatched the gown from Yang's hand, muttering a quick thank you. She timidly pulled it over her head and cleared her throat, indicating she was somewhat presentable.
Yang lowered her hand and looked up at Weiss as a smile cracked through her lips and she began to laugh.
Soon, the blush on Weiss' face vanished and she joined her girlfriend in effervescent laughter.
"So," began Yang after the laughter faded away, "judging by how completely drenched that towel was when I got here," she chuckled as she pointed at the towel Weiss placed over her bedsheets the night before, "I'm guessing you liked my gift?"
"Which one?" Weiss asked as she smirked and held up the blue toy, "This, or the picture you sent me?"
"I'm going to say… both?" asked Yang as she raised her finger.
Weiss giggled as she placed the toy on the damp towel, "Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed both of them."
"Yes!" shouted Yang as she jumped to her feet, "De-stressing Day was a success!"
Weiss rolled her eyes with a small smile, "You are so inappropriate," she said.
"But you're not complaining," said Yang, pointing her finger at Weiss.
"But I'm not complaining," Weiss repeated, "So, what did you do with Ruby and Blake?"
"They stayed in Jaune's room for the night. There was no way I was letting them in the dorm last night," said Yang, "Oh! I almost forgot! I have some really good news! It's so good that I had to wait for you to wake up so I could tell you!"
Weiss smiled at Yang's eagerness and reached for her scroll on her nightstand, only to brush her fingers against her bottle of medication. She furrowed her brows and picked up the bottle, examining it while in deep thought.
"Uh, Weiss?" asked Yang.
"Yang… I don't recall taking my medication last night," Weiss muttered.
"You must have been feeling really great last night to forget what you did," Yang giggled.
"No, I mean I didn't take them," began Weiss as she grinned at Yang, "As soon as I finished, I just got under the sheets and fell asleep!"
Yang pursed her lips before realization dawned on her, "Holy crap! You fell asleep on your own! You don't have to take your meds to sleep anymore!"
"I don't know how you did it!" cried Weiss, leaping out of bed as she laughed exuberantly, "Thank you! We should celebrate!"
"Not so fast, Weissy," chuckled Yang, "You still haven't heard the news."
"I am convinced nothing could make me happier right now! I don't have to rely on medication to sleep anymore! I haven't had that luxury since I was little!" grinned Weiss.
"We'll see about that," chuckled Yang, "Roman called earlier and said he would assemble the dragon sculpture in the dance hall today!"
Weiss gasped and gripped Yang's shoulders, "Really!?" she screeched.
"Yeah!" laughed Yang as a huge grin spread across her face.
Weiss hopped ebulliently in place, "This is so exciting! Ugh! I could kiss you right now!" she laughed, "I will kiss you right now!" The heiress cupped Yang's face in her hands and pulled her down, pressing her lips onto hers, "You are the best!"
"What do you mean, 'I'm the best?' You're the one who made this whole thing happen," Yang smiled, "You are the best!"
Weiss blushed and looked away, "Oh shut up… you're the best."
Yang giggled, "I am really liking post-orgasm Weiss."
Weiss scoffed with a smile as she rolled her eyes, "We need to leave immediately! I want to be there when Roman arrives!" cheered Weiss as she ran to the door.
"Hold on a second, Babe!" Yang laughed as Weiss stopped in her tracks and looked at her, "You know you are still currently wearing nothing but your nightgown, right?"
Weiss looked down at herself and suddenly became aware of the smell she was currently expelling, "I'm going to go quickly take a shower," smiled Weiss, bashfully as she ran into the bathroom and slammed the door shut.
Yang shook her head with a small smile, "I will never get tired of her."
Weiss and Yang walked up to the dance hall, it's sheer size towering above them and the many workers that were putting everything in place.
"Yes…," Weiss said to herself as they stopped walking, "We can definitely get all the decorations up by the end of the week."
"Well, look at you being all optimistic!" smiled Yang.
"U-uh, welcome back ma'am," greeted a worker Weiss recognized from the previous work days, "I hope you don't mind b-but a few of the other workers were getting cold working out here, and they went to Vale to get some coffee for the rest of us. W-we promise to get back to work as s-soon as they come back," she stuttered diffidently.
Weiss smiled at the worker, "Of course I don't mind. You are all allowed to have a break here and there," she said as the worker's jaw dropped, reminding her of how she acted the last time she was here, "I realize you might not have expected me to be so understanding. I was having a very hard time the last few weeks, and I'm sorry for the way I treated you and the other workers," she frowned.
"Oh! Don't even worry about it! Your friends already explained everything!" smiled the worker before walking away and getting back to work.
Weiss smiled at Yang and pranced to the door, "After you," she said as she held the large door open.
Yang grinned as she cupped Weiss' face and planted a long kiss on her cheek, "You're too kind," she hummed, sauntering into the edifice.
Weiss shivered and hummed in delight at the warmth she felt in her chest. It was surreal how Yang could make her feel that way with a simple, chaste kiss on the cheek.
Not wanting to keep her girlfriend waiting inside, Weiss walked into the dance hall and gasped at what she saw.
The walls were covered in vines with wallflowers of a variety of colors peppered about. Dust torches burned brightly, lighting up the whole hall, and brought the heiress' attention to the tables, clad in pristine, pearl tablecloths, doilies, and extravagant vases with no flowers in them. They were arranged exactly how she ordered them to be, and there was ample room for the dance floor with workers walking about and doing their jobs.
"Yang! I can't believe you did this!" Weiss laughed as she grinned at Yang, "We won't have any problem getting the outside decorated in time!"
Yang shook her head as she explored the interior of the dance hall, her mouth ajar, "I did not do this."
Weiss furrowed her brows at Yang, "If you didn't do this… then who did?"
"It looks like that long table goes all the way in the back! We're going to put the ice sculpture there on the day of!" shouted a voice from the back of the hall.
Weiss turned to where the voice came from and saw Jaune holding Weiss' sketch of the layout for the dance hall. She also recognized the rest of her friends among the workers.
"Jaune?" questioned Weiss as she stomped towards her friend.
Jaune turned her attention to Weiss and froze, "Oh! H-hey Weiss!" he shouted, getting the attention of his team as well as Blake and Ruby.
"You did this!?" Weiss shouted as she looked around again.
Team JNPR looked at each other, panicking and looking at Ruby or Blake for help.
"We're sorry, Weiss!" Nora began, "We know you didn't want anyone to see the dance hall before the dance!"
"But we knew how stressed out you were about getting the decorating finished in time," added Ren.
"We were only trying to help lessen the burden on your shoulders," explained Pyrrha.
Ruby and Blake glanced at each other and searched Weiss' face for any sign of clemency.
Weiss looked among all her friends that had gathered here to help her. Her lip trembled and she brought her hand up to shield her face as tears welled in her eyes.
"I d-don't know what I did to deserve friends like you all!" she sobbed, "You're all such wonderful people! Thank you!"
Ruby's jaw dropped as she looked at Blake, who was also taken aback by Weiss openly weeping in front of them. Glancing at Team JNPR confirmed that they were also not prepared for this reaction.
"Don't cry, Weiss!" smiled Ruby as she sped into Weiss and hugged her tightly, "We're always here to help a friend in need."
Weiss sniffled as she wrapped her arms around her leader, "Thank you…"
"Group hug!" smiled Yang as she hugged the two girls from behind Weiss.
Nora laughed as she charged into the group, "I love group hugs!"
Jaune, Pyrrha, Ren, and Blake giggled as they joined the hug, effectively encasing Weiss in their warmth.
It was here, literally surrounded in people she cared about that Weiss realized she truly was not alone.
"I'm not interrupting anything, am I?" said a voice from the entrance of the dance hall.
All heads turned to the voice that belonged to Roman Torchwick.
"No," smiled Weiss as she wiped away the last of her tears, "I'm so happy to see you!"
"Great!" said Roman as a small girl with pink and brown hair handed him a folder, "The dragon is going to require some reassembling, but I have a picture of it with my partner here standing next to it for scale so you'll know what it looks like."
Weiss accepted the folder from Roman and took a deep breath before opening it. The dragon was massive: easily dwarfing Roman's tiny partner. It perfectly matched Weiss' design.
"Oh my gods… I'm going to cry again," sniffled Weiss as she showed the picture to her friends.
"Holy shit!" shouted Yang as she looked closer at the image, "That thing is huge! Is it even going to fit on the wall?"
"Just barely," boasted Roman, "It has to be our finest work so far!"
Weiss took a deep breath to avoid crying, "I think you have easily earned double your asking price. In fact, I think you have earned triple the asking price," she smiled.
Roman and his partner looked at each other with wide eyes, "No! We can't take that much lien! It's simply too much!"
"Dude. She's rich," smirked Yang.
"The funds will be transferred to you as soon as the dragon is assembled on that wall," said Weiss as she pointed on the wall at the end of the dance hall, "If you need me, I'll be helping the workers outside with the decorations," she added as she made her way out of the dance hall.
This dance would undoubtedly be one to remember.
Hey everyone! I'm sorry I missed a week. This chapter would have been finished last week, but I couldn't finish it because classes were canceled due to the cold weather. It was super bad because it basically extended exams to two weeks instead of one. Thank you for your patience! Now that finals are over, we're going back to weekly uploads! Hooray! Please leave a review!
