"I told you so."

"Shut up."

"I'm just saying, you wouldn't have gotten sick if-"

"I know."

Ruby was only teasing. She had already expressed her gratitude for Weiss's company while she was sick many times. Weiss wasn't actually annoyed, either. If she had to get sick because she was looking after Ruby, so be it. Getting to show Ruby how much she cared was worth the risk.

Now Ruby insisted on doing the same for Weiss and she couldn't be happier about it. It didn't matter that she was sick. Somehow, Ruby could make any day a great one.


Don't worry, it's just a cold! (You have to wonder, though, would they even have to worry about getting sick? Do their auras protect them from that sort of thing? Well, whatever. We got a couple cute chapters out of it.)

This one took longer than I would have liked to finish. I knew I was going to write it as soon as I started the previous chapter, but couldn't get it right for the longest time. I just don't have nearly as much time to think about my writing as a used to, and it's rather upsetting. I love writing these and hearing your feedback, but other things are just more important right now. That said, I still have plenty of planned content for this story, so keep an eye out for those! We haven't even made it to the real good stuff yet (soon, I promise!).

Anyway, probably going to go back to fewer author's notes after this chapter. With how short each chapter is, I feel like they really take away from the chapter itself, but look at me continuing to ramble on.

Thank you all so much for your support, it means a lot to me. Until next time, stay safe out there!
