Dear RWBY #38
Start.
"Hello and welcome to another Dear RWBY!" Ruby Rose did the usual 'Dear RWBY style' greeting.
"Yay…"
"C'mon Weiss you gotta smile! Greet our viewers!" Little red went hyper on her partner.
"Are you by any chance still depressed about our last shopping trip?" The Faunus raised an eyebrow.
"I have never...seen such...little amount...of liens...on my card...my entire life…" Weiss Schnee struggled to speak as if she was out of breath. In fact, her breathing was slightly heavier than usual.
"Weiss?" Ruby dropped the excitement.
"I...I don't know what to do...with this little amount of money...how can I...take over SDC and...kick my father off...his throne...I just…"
"Hey, Weiss, relax. Take a deep breath." Yang wrapped her arm around the girl's shoulders, "Are you not feeling well? Your face is really red. We'll stop recording."
Ruby and Blake both gave the heiress a look of concern as well, as if they were trying to ask the same thing as their yellow teammate.
"I am fine...just confused." Weiss exhaled quickly, "And...my entire body feels hot…"
"That's a fever. Sis, turn off the camera please."
-camera cut-
The team, without Weiss Schnee, was sitting on the grass at the back of their dorm at the moment. Yang's scroll was placed on a small stool shooting the three of them.
"So...Weiss is sick. She's fallen asleep, and to not wake her up, we moved our location." Ruby Rose whispered, but still audible to the viewers because of the small microphone clipped on her collar.
"I'm the one reading the question, so I'm gonna do this fast. Need to get back to her." The blonde said as she held out her hand, expecting her sister to pass her the scroll.
"We can film this some other time, sis."
"Don't worry, we have a schedule to stick to." Yang stuck out her hand further.
"Our viewers will understand if we tell them." Blake put her hand on the blonde's and gently brought it down, "You need to calm down."
"How do I calm down?" Her partner knocked off her hand suddenly while yelling silently, "She's sick! Not just 'not feeling well'. She's sick, Blake. Her breathing is irregular, and her entire body is hot. Very, hot!"
"Like your temper." The Faunus retorted in anger, "And you need to pull your shit together."
"What do you know!?" Yang stood up quickly, both her eyes turning red. She knocked down her own scroll in the process and it stopped recording.
"I know to take care of myself in the time of crisis so that I can take care of the person I love, unlike you, Yang!" Blake Belladonna stood up as well, standing eye to eye with her partner, "Was it so hard to get this through your thick head?"
"What do you mean by that? You looking for a fight, Belladonna?"
"Hey, knock it off!" The leader of Team RWBY got up from the ground and scolded both her teammates.
The blonde bit her lips trying to contain her anger and frustrations, but obeyed her sister's order anyhow; the Faunus also remained silent. After a while, she whispered, "Ruby-"
"Don't talk to me until you cleared things up. Both of you." Ruby scowled fiercely. She then left without saying anything, leaving the Bumblebees there looking at one another. It was really awkward, but then one of them broke the silence.
"I-"
"I did not do anything wrong." The black haired girl crossed her arms.
This had triggered Yang's temper to raise again as she replied, "You did not. It was all my fault. Mine, alone."
"Damn right."
"I'll fuck off now. Enjoy yourself."

Everything felt heavy. Not just her eyes, but everything - her bones were hurting, her head was dizzy and even her consciousness wasn't listening to her. She struggled for a while before managing to open her eyes, and what welcomed her was the sight of the person she trusted the most.
"Yang…?"
"I'm here." A warmth was felt on her icy cold hand as the blonde wrapped hers around Weiss', "How are you feeling?"
Both of them was lucky that the heiress took the bottom bunk - at times like this, being on the top bunk would really make things complicated, and they weren't sure if sweating on their teammates' bed was a good idea. Yang didn't want to make her lover sleeping on her partner's bed either, now that they were in a fight.
"Dizzy...heavy. Hot." Came the short reply.
"Rest more then." The blonde wiped the sweat off Weiss' forehead with a pink handkerchief, "Water?"
"...Where's Ruby and Blake?" The girl whispered.
"Not here. Are you thirsty, Weiss?" Yang seemed reluctant to answer the question.
"Yes…"
"Wait a bit." She got up from her lover's bed and headed to the kitchen. It took her a while to look for a straw on the shelves above the stove.
"Did something happen?" Weiss asked when the blonde gently sat her up so that she could drink from the bottle without any trouble.
"Not really."
"Liar." She said after taking a sip of water. She then smiled and touched Yang's face, "Every time something bad happens, you frown a lot, and your shoulders become tense. This...doesn't pair well with the easy-going brawler I love."
Weiss' voice was hoarse and she struggled to speak - hearing this pained the blonde a lot. She looked at the girl she treasured the most and spoke, "I can settle that later. For now...please get well soon, Weiss. I...it hurts to see you like this."
"I don't know why I'd fall sick. I'm sorry…"
"Never apologize for something you didn't do." Yang smiled gently, "You didn't do anything wrong. In fact...I should be the one apologizing. I'm sorry, Weiss. I...should have noticed this, and yet...I suggested to film…"
"You merely had a schedule to follow." Weiss opened her palm, hinting that she wanted the blonde to grab her hand. The latter did, and so the heiress continued, "Don't blame yourself."
"I even snapped at Blake. I was actually angry at myself and I took it out on her." Yang closed her eyes, "Not a wise move."
"It's okay. She will understand if you talk properly with her." The girl tried grabbing the strong hand back, but her grip was weak.
"You're so different when we're alone." Yang opened her eyes and smiled bitterly, "But I love that. I love all of you."
This caused the heiress to blush slightly as she spoke, "Now go get it settled."
"Yes, your Majesty." The blonde giggled.
"Dolt." Weiss pouted.
"...I love you." Yang touched the heiress' icy cold lips with her own.
"I love you too."

"Blake."
"Yang."
The Bumblebees looked at each other awkwardly. Blake was sitting on her favorite tree just beside where they shot their vlog just now; Yang was raising her head to look her partner in the eye.
"I'm sorry." The blonde spoke first, lavender orbs shone with determination and a bit of remorse.
"Don't be." The Faunus shifted a bit, then jumped down from the tree to stand face-to-face with Yang, ears flattened against her head, "Never apologize for something you didn't do. I should have understood your feelings, Yang. I reacted badly. I was too harsh and spoke...unpleasant things. I'm sorry."
She had been reflecting on her own actions after her partner left. Sitting on the tree always helped in calming her thoughts, and she realized how much of a dick they both were. They were too stressed because of Weiss, and took it out on one another in the heat of the moment - not only they hurt each other, but also Ruby who probably was equally stressed as well.
"No, I'm at the wrong here. As you said, I lost my temper. I'm sorry." Yang held out her right hand, but Blake surprised her by going in for a hug. The fact that even the calmest person in Team RWBY lost her cool when a certain heiress got seriously sick showed just how much they treasured one another.
"Let's go see Weiss. She's already awake." The brawler suggested as they released from the long hug.
"I need to get Ruby first. You go on ahead."
"No need for that." The blonde smiled bitterly, "I think she must be in our dorm already. There's no way she would abandon her partner and ran off somewhere."
"Right." Blake replied. Her ears then flattened again as she asked, "Do you think she hates me now?"
"Ruby?"
"Yeah."
"I think you should be more confident in yourself." The blonde grinned, "You mean more to her than you think you are."
A pause.
"But you should probably apologize."
"Right. Thanks, Yang."
"Thanks too, Blakey."
This wasn't the first fight they've ever gone into, and it certainly wouldn't be the last one either - but the bond between Team RWBY would never waver. Even if they fought, they would always reconcile no matter how long it would take; sometimes under the guidance of Ruby, and sometimes Qrow or Team JNPR when the girl herself was involved. They were a team that stood strong and proud.

Just like a certain invincible electric princess that their sponsor loved so much she must include her in every chapter.
Yes I wanted to add that and make it the ending, but decided against it because it would ruin the 'real' Team RWBY everyday life mood.
This kind of chapter was actually suggested by a reader (you know who you are), and I thought it was a really great idea to show some different emotions for Team RWBY aside from gay, cheerful and straight up depressing chapters.
Alright, stopping the rant. PLUS ULTRA, everyone!
