Sun and Neptune sat side by side looking towards the rising morning. Neptune peeled a banana apart, but as he was about to bite into the fruit's flesh, he looked over to his partner, "Hey, do you want some of this?"
Sun glared at the blue-haired Mistralian, eyebrows furrowed down, "What just because I'm a monkey faunus, you think that means I like to eat bananas?"
Neptune looked down at the banana and back to his still annoyed partner, "Um, yes?"
Sun grabbed the banana out of his hands, "And you'd be correct, you racist blueberry."
"C'mon man, I've seen you eat more bananas than I've eaten in my entire life!"
"That's because you Mistrals just stick into a blender with some other crap and call it healthy, when you could just eat the freaking banana!"
Sun continued roasting Neptune until Jaune walked by, "Hey guys. What are you up to?"
Neptune held up his hand, "You don't want to know," he sat back against the table to let Sun speak.
"Just sitting here, chilling with my best friend. What are you up to, Jaune?"
"Unlike you guys I have to still take classes, and I just got back from an insanely hard quizz from Oobleck," he sat down next to the members of SSSN, "And it was so hard to focus on that test with Blake and Weiss just giggling the entire time!"
"You know, those girls have all but just disappeared off the face of the earth!" Sun complained, "It's like, they show up for class and lunch, and then they lock themselves in their rooms for hours on end."
"Yeah, you're right. It's been three weeks since I last talked to Weiss, and that was the only time I've ever seen her without Ruby," Neptune explained.
"What's weird is that all four of them are in in the room at once. And I know that they live there, but you'd think that couples would have some alone time, but they're always together," Jaune pondered.
"Hey, I love hanging out with Neptune but even I don't want to be with him twenty-four seven," Sun joked with Jaune.
"Yeah, I know how you feel. Well I gotta go. Nice talking with you guys," Jaune left the two members of team SSSN to enjoy the rest of their morning.
Neptune looked at his partner and scooted closer to him, "You were joking, right?"
"Babe, you know I need my space," Sun put his arm around his cerulean brother from another mother, "But yeah."
A young woman in a pair of dark shades and a beret lit a cigarette, breathing in the nicotine and exhaling the smoke through her nostrils, "The Vytal Festival isn't too far off, Yatsuhashi," she remarked, her legs dangling over the edge of the dorm roof.
Yatsuhashi had been meditating, his beefy arms crossed over his massive chest, his eyes only opening to speak to his leader, "I have been taught since birth that arrogance is an unforgivable sin, but even so, I believe that we have a great chance at winning," he mused to his leader.
Coco smiled at the giant student, "Take notes from me, Yats. Being arrogant can take you places!"
He cracked a small smile, "Pride fits you far more than it fits me I'm afraid," he went back to closing his eyes to meditate, "Is there anyone you're worried about?"
Coco puffed more smoke through the air, "Team RWBY. They're going to be a challenge. But nothing we can't handle."
Yatsuhashi stood up next to his leader, "Have you noticed Team RWBY acting strange lately?"
Coco tapped on her cigarette, letting the dust fall onto the roof, "I know they're dating each other. Schnee and Rose are going at it, while Belladonna and Xiao Long are hitting the showers," she shook her head, "Terrible idea to date teammates."
"You only say that because you couldn't bag Velvet, Fox, or me," Yatsuhashi laughed at his leader.
Coco threw the cigarette on the ground, grinding it with her shoe, "SHUT UP!"
General Ironwood and Ozpin stood beside each other as the elevator took them to his office, "Have you gotten any words out of Torchwick?" the headmaster attempted conversation.
"Words of spite are all he seems to know," the Atlesian General crossed his arms, "He's a part of a bigger plan, but he won't reveal who he's working for. Why?"
Ozpin sipped coffee out of his mug, "Perhaps he's being silent out of fear?" he suggested, "For all we know, he could be working for someone more sinister than either of us could imagine."
The two headmasters stepped out of the elevator into his large and elaborate office, the many gears of the clocktower turning above their heads. As Ozpin walked to his desk, not paying attention, Ironwood looked up at the gears turning in awe.
"You don't think that-
"I'd rather we not discuss who Torchwick could be working for until Qrow rendezvous with us," Ozpin sat at his chair to gaze at his academy, "Once we get Qrow's intel, we will start preparing for whatever enemy we have lurking in the shadows," Ozpin turned his chair back to the general, "I wanted to ask you something. Headmaster to headmaster."
Ironwood laughed to himself, "Very rarely does the great Ozpin ever ask for advice. What would you like to know?"
Ozpin looked down at his coffee and back at the General, "You recall Team RWBY, the ones who uncovered the White Fang and Torchwick's plot?"
"Yes, I know them,"
Ironwood's eyebrow raised, for the first time seeing the man he's respected throughout his entire career struggling to find the words to say.
"Well, they're dating. Ruby Rose and Weiss Schnee, and Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long," he explained.
"I see. So Qrow's nieces are dating Blizzard's daughter and someone from outside the kingdoms? What's the problem, Oz?"
"Well. They go into their room after classes, and they never come out until the next day," Ozpin finally let it out, "They spend nearly all of their time together and normally I try to stop couples from being together all the time. But, it's always the four of them."
Ozpin sat in his chair, letting out his frustration through the long and heavy exhale while the general reacted with the highest eyebrow he had raised in a very long time, "So, if they aren't doing, what we think they're doing, because they're two couples. Then, what are they doing?"
"Now you know my frustration," Ozpin poured coffee for his colleage
"It's funny, I've seen you singlehandedly take down a Grave Walker and I've directed an entire armada to take down another, and yet-
"We're entirely clueless on this issue,"
The two old men both looked at each other and nodded, "Let's ask Glynda."
Ruby was running very late. Professor Port held her after class in order to talk about some failing grades she had made. She knew Weiss was going to admonish her for it, but she wanted to get to her dorm to be with her girlfriends. She was running so fast she was on the brink of going into her semblance, when she ran into Jaune Arc.
After hitting a wall thirty feet from the initial impact, Jaune and Ruby picked each other up after checking to make sure they weren't dead.
"Jaune! I'm so, so, so, so, so, sorry! I was trying to meet up with Weiss and-
"Ruby, um. I kinda wanted to talk to you about that. Well, we all did," Jaune explained, looking behind Ruby to nod.
Ruby looked behind her shoulder to see Ren raising a karate chop and bringing it down on her pressure point, instantly knocking her out.
"YES! Ok let's get her to the roof!" Jaune cheered.
Ren helped Jaune lift the girl onto his, "I want you to know I'm only doing this for a good cause. I refuse to use my powers for evil."
Yang, Blake, and Weiss held each other close, all eyes glued to the door. Blake looked down at the alarm clock and back at the door, repeating every thirty seconds.
"Seriously, where is she?! She said she would be here by now!" Weiss complained grabbing the clock to glare at the time.
"Maybe Port held her after class longer than usual?" Blake proposed.
"Even then! This is ridiculous for that overblown professor!"
Yang felt the sheer anger emanating off of Weiss and stood up, "Well, Ice Queen. If it will make you happy, I'll go looking for Ruby."
"Yang you don't have to, I'm sure Ruby will be coming soon," Blake attempted to make Yang stay.
Yang put on her boots and her jacket on while walking out of their dorm, "Yeah but I know Weiss likes seeing us get the results rather than the results just happening," she took one step out of the door and looked back at her girlfriends, "I'll be back soon."
Weiss fell back on their bed, "What now?"
Blake smiled and leaned into the heiress, "We could relax. We don't need to be making love every single day."
Weiss blushed while she looked into Blake's eyes, "Well, it's still a nice plus to this whole relationship."
"Would you like to be satisfied?" Blake asked.
Weiss blinked, blanking on her question, "But, Ruby and Yang. They're not here."
"I mean, we can do it without them. And they're gonna join us for it,"
Weiss looked back at the door and began taking off her dress, Blake repeating after her, "I've never done it with just one person. I'm so used to doing it with two other people," the white-haired heiress joked.
"It's ok," Blake planted a small kiss on her cheek, "Just relax and let me do all the work, princess."
Ruby woke up to the sight of Team JNPR on the roof, the orange sky of Beacon, orbiting around them, "Jaune?! Ren?! What are you guys doing?!" she demanded, "Oh my gosh, what time is it?! I was supposed to be with them right now-
"Ruby, we wanted to talk to you about that," Pyrrha interrupted her.
"Yeah. This whole relationship with Weiss, but you lock yourself with your sister and Blake, it's kinda getting out of hand," Jaune explained.
"What do you mean?" Ruby asked her fellow leader.
Jaune sighed, confirming his thoughts on the situation, "Ruby, this is the first time in two weeks since we've seriously had a conversation."
Ruby turned her head to get a good look at him, "Jaune, did you get a haircut?"
All members of Team JNPR promptly took in all the air they could, and let it out, "Yep, this is gonna be a tough one," Nora exclaimed, leaning over the roof's edge.
"Ruby," Pyrrha turned to the young huntress, "We're concerned because, it seems like all you're doing is being with Weiss."
"Oh, I'm doing a lot more than being with Weiss," she laughed to herself before realizing what she said, "WAIT I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT!"
"Ruby, we are are happy for you that your relationship with Weiss is going so well, but we don't think it's healthy to be spending all of your time with just her," Ren explained.
Ruby looked at Ren, Pyrrha, and Jaune, "But. I love being with Weiss, and Blake and-
"Blake?" Nora interjected, "What does Blake have to do with this?"
The eyes of Team JNPR pierced through Ruby, kicking herself in her mind for mentioning the biggest secret her team had, "Guys. I have something to tell you."
The Champion, the Martial Artist, the Berserker, and the Novice shared glances before focusing back on Ruby, "You see. I'm going out with Weiss and-
"RUBY! WHERE ARE YOU!" Ruby and the rest of Team JNPR turned to the door, seeing the Brawler, "Hey there you are!"
"Sis! Hey, I was just talking to Jaune and-
Yang finally noticed Team JNPR, and while in most situations, Yang would have been strutting with pride, but for once in a very rare occasion, she was caught off guard, "Oh. Hey guys."
"What up?!" Ren shook his head at Nora's randomness.
"Yang were just having a conversation with Ruby," Pyrrha explained.
"Might I add, the first conversation in like, two weeks," Jaune added.
"And this would be the first time we've spoken to you in two weeks," Ren stated, "Perhaps even three weeks."
Yang rubbed the back of her head, "Sorry about that, but uh, we've been, uh, you know, busy."
Ren raised his eyebrow, "Busy doing what?"
The pride and confidence in Yang had all but drained away, "Studying. We've been studying and training for the Vytal Festival. Weiss needs Ruby so they can do some studying!"
For a brief moment, the confidence had seeped back into Yang until Jaune spoke, "Why didn't Weiss come get her then?"
Ruby was utterly shocked, never seeing her sister look so defeated, "Is she studying with Blake?" she asked.
"YEAH! She and Blake are studying while I went to go look for Ruby!" she exclaimed, then looking down at her sister, "So, let's go meet up with them."
Ruby looked back at Team JNPR, "Can you give me one minute? I'll meet up with you on the way," she turned back to JNPR after her sister nodded in agreement and walked back into the dorm.
Ruby didn't like the confused and disappointed looks on their faces, "Listen. What's going is complicated, and I'll tell you all about it, but I have to talk it over with the rest of my team," she turned away from them to the door.
"Do you promise?" before she went through the door she heard Jaune call her out.
She turned to face her first friend at Beacon Academy and nodded, "I promise, Jaune."
Yang walked down the hallway and tried opening the door to her dorm, only to find it was locked. If Yang wasn't in the best of moods, this would only sour her mood even more. She groaned and knocked on the door, three knocks, a pause, followed by two knocks.
Now the secret password wasn't working, and Yang was starting to get annoyed. She did the password one more time, which once again didn't elicit a response.
Yang clutched her knuckles and knocked on the door with her fist, "Guys! It's me! Yang! You can let me in!"
She reached for her pocket, only to realize she left her stuff in the dorm when she went to go look for Ruby, "GUYS I LOCKED MYSELF OUT!" she yelled at the door, her frustration reaching a peak.
She put her ear next to the door to find out if they were even in there. She heard the shower water on, and amidst the water splashing against their bath's floor she could hear the distincts sounds of giggling between two people she knew.
Her emotions in that instant were a mix of fury and jealousy, her lilac eyes turning to a dark shade of red, "You wouldn't dare think of it would you?!" she banged on the door, each crack against the wood harder than the last. The last crack against the door was hard enough to leave a few cracks in it.
"BOTHER US SOME OTHER TIME, WE'RE BUSY!" Yang was usually amused when Weiss was annoyed or angered, but all it did then, was throw her into a pit of irate rage.
"Who the hell do you think I am?" her voice was quiet, not a whisper. And finally, her voice became a loud roar of fury, "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?!"
She fired a round of from her gauntlet, tearing the door down. She walked through, kicking away at the debris, and walked to the bathroom door.
Out of the bathroom, Blake and Weiss ran out, Yang noticing the bathrobes they were wearing, "YANG! What did you do?! Why did you break down the door?!" Weiss yelled at her, not noticing the red color in her eyes. Blake caught onto it but Weiss had not, still reprimanding her for destroying their door.
When Weiss was done yelling at her, Yang spoke very calmly, but with an edge to her voice, "So you two were too impatient to wait for me to get Ruby?"
Her voice felt like a sword running them through, "Well, it's not against the rules," Weiss finally spoke up.
Yang focused all of her attention to Weiss. Weiss was naturally shorter than Yang, but in that instance, it was like a snow rabbit beholding Surtr, "But it is a rule to leave someone out. And to me, doing it while we're gone trying to get, and then locking me out. That feels really awful."
"We're not just your girlfriends, Yang!" Blake raised her voice, "Weiss is my girlfriend too! Don't I have the right to be with her?!"
Yang's anger was reaching its peak, and she wanted to let it out, "And you're my girlfriend! Don't I have the right to be with you!?"
"Well maybe I don't want to do it with you! Like right now!" Weiss finally lit Yang's fuse.
Yang cocked her fist back, with the intent of firing a round from Ember Celica. She wanted nothing but to punch through Weiss Schnee.
Before her arm could form the punch needed to fire her gauntlet, she stopped when Blake appeared in front of Weiss, Gambol Shroud in its pistol form aimed at Yang.
"What's wrong? Why don't you take the shot?" Yang glared down at Blake.
Blake gripped her weapon, "You need to stand down, Yang."
They glared down at each other, each ready to fire, "Guys."
With her voice, all hostilities had been dropped. All three of them turned to Ruby, standing at the remains of the door.
"Ruby, how long have you been there?" Blake chose to be the one who broke the silence.
Ruby stared at the with nearly teary-eyes, "Why are you guys fighting?" they each winced when they heard the cracks in her voice.
None of them wanted to speak. They couldn't give Ruby an answer that wouldn't upset her. At last it was Weiss who finally spoke.
"Don't worry about it, Ruby. It's nothing-
"DON'T TREAT ME LIKE A KID!" Weiss felt regret for every syllable she put in that sentence, "You guys. Why? We're supposed to love each other," Ruby fought back against the tears, "So why are you fighting?"
Yang took a step forward, "Ruby, we-
"We're girlfriends, Yang. We don't aim our weapons at each other," the cracks in her voice were getting more noticeable, leaving larger cracks in their hearts.
Before any of them could say another word to their leader, she had walked through the door, and used her semblance to put as much distance between her and the dorm.
Behind her were three women. Angry with themselves and with each other, and with no one to blame but themselves.
"Sir. I wish to inform you of your daughter's spending."
In a large office, standing behind a massive redwood desk, gazing out at the snowy landscape through his window, Blizzard Schnee stood, "What is my daughter spending my money on? More dresses she claims are for combat?"
The butler shook his head, "No sir. But I believe you should look at the receipt of transaction with your own eyes."
Blizzard Schnee glanced at the scroll his Butler handed to him, "A hotel room?"
A/N I would like to give a shoutout to Tayta1999 who praised this fanfic for being a bunch of fluff when in comparison to the show and a lot of other fanfics that were getting pretty dark.
Welp!
I'm interested in seeing what you guys are thinking. And hopefully you all are interested in seeing where I'm going with this.
And yes, canonically, in this AU of RWBY, Sun and Neptune are dating. And I'm probably late in answering this, but this fanfic is in an AU where it takes place after Volume 2, but the Vytal Festival is like a month or two away. If someone is interested in putting together a timeline, but sees that technically the Vytal Festival should have happened... just don't think about it.
Once again thank you for reading my fanfiction. I appreciate every view and visitor that comes to read this fic.
