Ruby woke up around midnight and yawned, "Man I slept hard today, I should get Blake to read to me more."

Ruby looked over at the other bunk bed, "Hmm, I wonder where Yang and Blake are? Oh well. I need to get my pajamas on."

Ruby slipped off her outfit and slipped on her pajamas and walked to her team's bathroom, where she walked in on Weiss with a towel around her.

"GET OUT YOU DOLT!" she yelled at her leader.

"WEISS I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE IN THERE!"

"GET OUT!"

Ruby closed the door behind her and hid on her bunk, hoping Weiss would forgive and forget. The bathroom door swung open and Weiss walked out in her sleeping gown.

"Ruby! Get out here!" Ruby pulled the covers over her head, "I know you're up here, now get down!"

"You're going to yell at me if I do!"

"I promise I won't yell at you. Please come down, Ruby,"

"Ok," Ruby jumped down and looked at Weiss before she smacked her across the head, "Why did you do that?!"

"I said I wouldn't yell at you, I never said anything about not hitting you," Weiss answered, "What are you even doing awake?"

"I just woke up. What are you doing awake?"

Weiss showed Ruby a large pile of books and papers, "I've been studying all day. And from what I can tell when I walked in here five hours ago, you haven't been doing much studying."

"Yeah, sorry," Ruby looked at the ground, "I kinda fell asleep today, and well I forgot to study."

Weiss took a deep breath, "Look, I know it's difficult leading the team sometimes, I understand. But you need to take time out of every day to study and work towards bettering yourself as a student."

"I know Weiss, and I'm trying. It's just," Ruby sat on Weiss' bed, "Weiss, besides my fighting skills, do you think I should have been accepted into Beacon?"

Weiss' scowl had disappeared, replaced with a softer frown, "Who are you asking?"

"Huh?"

"Are you asking the Weiss you first met, or the Weiss you know now?"

"Um, I don't know,"

"Ruby, you are a great fighter and you've proven to be a great leader. But you're not the greatest academic. Don't you agree?"

"Yeah, my grades aren't really the best out of this group,"

"But. We can change that,"

"We can?"

Weiss sat down next to Ruby and held her hand, "Ruby, if you can come by the library every day, I'll help you with studying. And by the end of the month, I can turn you into B student."

"But the end of the month is a week from now,"

"THAT'S JUST HOW EFFICIENT I AM!" Weiss declared.

An awkward silence befell the two girls before they laughed at each other. Ren woke up and heard the two laughing. After hearing laughter, he heard Nora's stomach growling and went to cook pancakes.

Jean heard Ren making pancakes and woke up, "Ren why are you making pancakes?"

"Because I've lost control of my life," Ren answered.

When Ruby and Weiss finished laughing, they hugged each other, "Thanks so much Weiss."

"I haven't done anything you dolt," she hugged her tighter but let go and pulled Ruby's sleeping visor over her eyes, "We should get some sleep. I'll see you in the morning."

Weiss pushed Ruby off her bed but before she slipped under her covers, Ruby grabbed her arm, "Um, Weiss. I was wondering. Could, you um. Sleep with me?"

"Sure," Weiss smiled.

Blake stood on the edge of the roof of the dormitories and took a deep breath. She touched the bow on her head and pulled the string, letting the bow fall to the ground. Her cat ears twitched enjoying their freedom, and Blake enjoyed the silence. Her human ears heard only silence, but her cat ears picked up sounds from all across Beacon.

"So this is what they call deafening silence," Blake mused as she stared at the moon.

She heard footsteps on the roof and hid her ears while grabbing her bow. She tied the bow and turned to face her intruder.

"Can't sleep?" Blake saw Yang walking to her.

"Y-yeah. I came up here because I couldn't sleep," she lied.

Yang walked to the edge of the roof and sat with her legs dangling over, "Moon looks beautiful tonight. Sit down and watch it with me."

Blake sat on the edge and looked at the moon, its shattered pieces slowly drifting away, "So why are you up here, Yang?"

"Same reason as you, can't sleep,"

"That's not the reason I'm up here," Blake sighed, "I come up here to-

"To take your bow off?

Blake looked away from Yang, "H-how'd you know?"

"I saw it slipping. It's ok, you can take it off in front of me,"

Blake looked at Yang's smile and turned away, "I'm fine keeping it on."

"That's ok," she looked away from the moon at Blake, "So why did you want to take that bow off?"

"No reason,"

"Blake there's gotta be a reason. You don't take it off when we're all in the same room or when you're asleep, so why up here?"

Blake took a deep breath, "I do this once a week, to remind myself who I am. Where I come from and what I stand for. And for a few minutes, feel like I'm somewhere without hiding who I am."

She watched the moon as it reached its peak in the sky, "How can you know who you are when you're still hiding yourself?"

"Because I still need to hide who I am to Beacon, and until the White Fang and Torchwick are taken down, the bow stays."

"That's what I admire about you, Blake. You're so devoted to your goals that you'll put everything aside to achieve them," Yang moved closer to Blake, "But you did say you take off your bow out here, right? Aren't you going to take it off?"

Blake blushed, "I already took it off."

"You put it on cause you heard me. I know you were just starting to enjoy it," Yang turned her body to Blake, "Besides I've never seen you without the bow."

"I. I don't know, Yang,"

"Hey, we're partners, Blake. Can you at least trust me with that?" Yang saw the discomfort in Blake's face, "If you don't want to, that's fine I'll go back-

"I'll show you. One condition,"

"Anything, name it,"

"Can you, sit up here with me?"

Yang smiled and nodded at her partner. Blake took a deep breath and exhaled while removing her bow. She pulled the knot and let the bow fall into her lap and her ears twitched for their freedom.

"Um, Yang. You're staring," Blake blushed harder.

"Blake, you gotta go without the bow more often. YOU'RE SO CUTE WITH YOUR EYES!" Yang squeezed Blake with her arms.

"YANG YOU'RE CRUSHING ME!" Blake shouted, "I CAN'T BREATHE!"

Yang let go of her partner, "Sorry, I kinda go overboard when I see something that cute."

"Really? I couldn't tell," Blake looked at the moon again, "I've only shown my ears to one other person."

"Who was this person?"

Blake glanced from the moon to the ground, "Someone I thought I could trust."

Yang leaned on Blake's shoulder, "Blake. I promise, I'll always be someone you can trust."

Blake looked at her partner as a tear fell down her face. She embraced her partner and cried into her shoulder.

"You'll promise that I can trust you? That you won't become the monster humanity makes you out to be?!" she cried.

"I promise, Blake. I promise,"

A/N this is NOT White Rose and Bumblebee fic

Second A/N no I didn't misspell Jaune's name. Jean Kirschtein of Trost literally showed up in Team JNPR's dorm to ask Ren why he was making pancakes.
